167: Chapter 167 Abandoned Unfinished Building 20

This time it was relatively easy; after all, they only needed to find items like rope, with no restrictions on length. After all, they weren't limited to using just one rope to connect to the fire hose.

Soon, several players found two hemp ropes, each about two meters long.

The thickness and sturdiness of these hemp ropes clearly indicated they could support a player's weight.

However, less than four meters of rope wasn't enough.

The Girl in Pink Jeans found many very thin ropes from an abandoned box on the ground.

These ropes were tough enough, but too thin; the weight of an adult could easily snap them.

Fortunately, the Girl in Pink Jeans was clever with her hands; she braided several thin ropes together, manually thickening them.

When the finished product was ready, the players looked at it and saw it was almost the same as the thick hemp ropes nearby.

"Awesome, awesome," the Tattooed Man praised.

The Girl in Pink Jeans smiled shyly and didn't say anything.

Next was tying these ropes into one long piece. The Girl in Pink Jeans did it again, as her hands were more nimble and she knew some methods for tying ropes.

The Boy in Floral Boxers looked at the Girl in Pink Jeans and asked, "I want to learn that rope-tying method you just used, is that okay?"

Hearing this, the other players became interested and couldn't help but look at the Girl in Pink Jeans. After all, having an extra skill meant an extra chance of survival.

Plus, the rope-tying technique sounded quite useful.

The Girl in Pink Jeans didn't object; she displayed her hands in front of everyone and explained while tying the ropes.

Watching a rope nearly forty meters long take shape, the players took it and climbed back down the black iron railing next to the stairs.

Upon reaching the broken part of the stairs, the Boy in Floral Boxers volunteered to tie the rope to the black railing at the corner, saying he wanted to test his skills.

The Girl in Pink Jeans nodded, handed the tied rope to the Boy in Floral Boxers, and watched him secure it. There were no issues, and he didn't make any mistakes in the steps.

However, when deciding who would go down first, the players were in a dilemma.

After all, no one could be sure if the fire hose had become fragile due to being stored for too long. What if it suddenly snapped halfway down?

Luo Yuejian was also conflicted.

She was debating whether to go down first or last.

Going first meant bearing the risk of the fire hose snapping. And if there were any traps below, she would definitely be the first to "enjoy" them.

If she went last, she would bear the risk of the building collapsing above, which was the reason Luo Yuejian had been dragging her feet from the start.

Wait, hold on...

Luo Yuejian suddenly realized something: if she went last, even if the fire hose snapped in front of her and she failed to use it to "send" herself off, it wouldn't stop her from waiting for death up there!

Without a way down, wouldn't she be even more at ease waiting for the collapse above to reach the floor below?

Luo Yuejian's eyes lit up. Also, there was another point: if the rope really had a chance of snapping, the greater the pressure it bore, the higher the likelihood of it breaking.

If the fire hose turned out to be very sturdy, going first wouldn't help her anyway.

So, the more players who went down first, the more pressure the fire hose would bear. By the time she went last, the possibility of it snapping would be even greater.

Holy crap, a double guarantee!

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Luo Yuejian immediately decided in her heart that she must go down last!

"I'll go down first."

None of the players wanted to go first, but in the end, the Tattooed Man spoke up and took on the job of going first.

He sighed, "Forget it, anyway, in my current state, I might not survive afterward. Since I'm the heaviest among us players, if I can get down safely, you guys definitely can too."

The Girl in Pink Jeans looked worried, her brows slightly furrowed, "But your arms..."

The Gentle Man with Glasses also frowned, "Can you go down?"

"It should be fine..." the Tattooed Man hesitated, though he wasn't sure himself. The initial sharp pain in his arms had passed, leaving them somewhat numb.

Watching them hesitate back and forth, Luo Yuejian, having nothing to do, casually drew an Infinite Card.

It wasn't that Luo Yuejian intentionally avoided drawing skills; after all, the slacker system was watching.

Usually, Luo Yuejian would draw the Infinite Card skill at the start of the game. But this round, because she was thrown into such a thrilling environment right from the start, she had forgotten about it for a moment.

Later, she never remembered it again.

She didn't know if the slacker system had also forgotten about it because the start was too thrilling, but either way, it never reminded her.

Until now, when Luo Yuejian had nothing to do, she finally remembered, so she decided to draw the Infinite Card skill for this round.

The Infinite Card skill for this round was—External Wound Healing (Uses: 3).

Huh?

Seeing this skill, Luo Yuejian was pleasantly surprised.

Normally, Luo Yuejian shouldn't be happy about such a seemingly useful skill. But in this game, the Tattooed Man had been severely injured on both arms by sharp gears at the start.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, but the players had been agonizing over who would go first. The Tattooed Man was even prepared to sacrifice himself to test it, but now, because his arms were injured, he couldn't climb down the rope, and the players were deadlocked again.

Now that Luo Yuejian had drawn the External Wound Healing skill from the Infinite Card, she could perfectly solve this problem! It was a perfect chance to use up some of this healing skill's charges.

Luo Yuejian immediately took out the Infinite Card in excitement and said, "My card can heal external wounds!"
