174: Chapter 174 Abandoned Unfinished Building 27
The first thought that crossed the Gentle Man with Glasses' mind was whether the White-haired Girl felt there was still something of value to be utilized on the Girl in Pink Jeans.
Or perhaps, was there some reason why the Girl in Pink Jeans could not die?
Otherwise, given the White-haired Girl's personality, how could she possibly take the initiative to save someone?
Thinking about it, this White-haired Girl had also saved the Girl in Pink Jeans before.
It was when the Girl in Pink Jeans fell from the fire hose; the White-haired Girl had suddenly acted, using a stone to block the Girl in Pink Jeans' downward momentum, saving her life.
The Gentle Man with Glasses pondered for a moment, then brushed the thoughts from his mind. Regardless of what the White-haired Girl was actually thinking, she definitely had her own reasons, and those reasons were very likely correct.
And all they, the other players, needed to do was execute the White-haired Girl's instructions.
Although he thought this way, the boy wearing large floral shorts remained somewhat unreconciled. He pursed his lips and tried to argue, "Why save her now? If we save her, how will we open the lock on the door of the Abandoned Unfinished Building later?"
"Besides, how are we supposed to save her? That Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog is down there, eyeing us covetously. It's obvious it won't leave easily. Unless one of us can lure it away, it's impossible to save the Girl in Pink Jeans."
Luo Yuejian was very accustomed to acting cool. Her gaze was merciless, seemingly devoid of any emotion, as she coldly stared at him. "Isn't the method right in front of you?"
As for what the method was? Heh, sorry, that wasn't something she needed to consider.
At this moment, she wasn't worried that this group of players would actually figure something out from her words. Even if they really did come up with a way to rescue the Girl in Pink Jeans, it would run counter to their original intention of wanting to open the door to the abandoned building.
That was enough!
Meanwhile, upon hearing Luo Yuejian's words, the Gentle Man with Glasses and the boy in large floral shorts were completely bewildered.
What did she mean the method was right in front of them? Where was the method?
The location they were currently in was a small hideout made of a pile of cardboard boxes. Apart from that, looking around, it was just a ruin collapsed by gravel.
At a glance, they really couldn't see any useful information.
The two of them racked their brains, yet failed to come up with any reasonable solution. The Gentle Man with Glasses frowned deeply. Outside, the sound of the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog hitting the metal pipe tower continued to ring, making him feel both panicked and irritable.
If things went on like this, time would only run out. Not only would they fail to save the Girl in Pink Jeans, but they might also lose their own lives here.
The Gentle Man with Glasses forced himself to calm down, deciding to think from Luo Yuejian's perspective to figure out what she had seen and what she had discovered.
He turned around and stood in the same position as Luo Yuejian, observing from her perspective: what was there in the vicinity that was worth noting?
Luo Yuejian also watched the Gentle Man with Glasses' actions with some curiosity, wanting to know what key clues this guy could find from her previous words which contained absolutely no information.
She had now confirmed that this Gentle Man with Glasses was indeed a seeded player for this round. The clues they had discovered earlier were basically all provided by this guy.
This person was truly quite strong, and he was even a New player, which was really impressive.
Then, as she watched, she noticed the Gentle Man with Glasses' eyes suddenly go wide.
Holy crap, he found a clue just like that?!
Luo Yuejian exclaimed in admiration internally and followed the Gentle Man with Glasses' gaze.
She only saw that right next to them, on a cardboard box, three large characters were clearly written—"Attractant".
Huh? What the hell is an Attractant?
An attractant refers to an additive used to improve the palatability of feed and increase the appetite of animals being raised. It is composed of taste-stimulating ingredients and auxiliary agents.
But what function could this thing possibly serve? Increase the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog's desire to eat humans?
Wow, does this guy also have a slacker system on him? Is he acting?
The boy in large floral shorts also followed the Gentle Man with Glasses' gaze at this moment and saw the words on the box. He probably thought the same thing as Luo Yuejian, and couldn't help but hesitate, asking, "Attractant...? Why are you looking at the Attractant?"
The Gentle Man with Glasses wasn't sure if his conjecture was correct, but from Luo Yuejian's angle, as far as the eye could see, these three characters were indeed the most conspicuous.
Moreover, it was visible to the naked eye that this box of Attractant hadn't been opened, proving that there was indeed Attractant inside.
This made him have to suspect that the method Luo Yuejian mentioned did indeed refer to the Attractant in this wooden box.
If that were the case, then the White-haired Girl must want to use this Attractant to lure the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog into eating something, and this something could very likely cause fatal damage to the Gray-brown Giant Wolf-dog...
His gaze couldn't help but shift to Luo Yuejian. His eyes carried a hint of hope as he cautiously probed, "Do you have any food?"
Food? Luo Yuejian let out an internal "Huh?", thinking to herself, what do you want by suddenly mentioning food?
Immediately after, she realized. No wonder this guy was looking at the Attractant; turns out this guy was hungry! Sigh, what a mess. She had actually thought the Gentle Man with Glasses was preparing to throw the game.
However, speaking of food, she really did have one item in her inventory.
Luo Yuejian immediately recalled the poop-flavored chocolate buried at the bottom of her inventory.
Although, well... how could this not count as food?
And although she felt that the poop-flavored chocolate might never be used in her lifetime, there was an opportunity to consume an item, so why waste it?
Thinking of this, she took out the item without hesitation.
Fortunately, this piece of poop-flavored chocolate had outer packaging, otherwise Luo Yuejian would definitely have found it disgusting.
After taking out the poop-flavored chocolate, she immediately gave it to the Gentle Man with Glasses.
When the Gentle Man with Glasses saw this chocolate, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized. He understood! So that was it!
