179: Chapter 179 Abandoned Unfinished Building 32
In the past few times, no matter how bizarre the methods she proposed seemed, these players could always find various angles to interpret her words.
Yet this time, having finally come up with a reasonable excuse, someone actually refuted it?!
But she also felt that what the guy wearing large floral trunks said made a lot of sense!
However, if that string of numbers really was the password to open the main gate, then it was even more impossible for her to let them actually try using that numerical password to open it!
Otherwise, wouldn't they be winning this game round?!
Damn it, can't panic, can't panic, must think of a way. Her persona for this game round was a big shot in control of the whole situation; if she showed weakness now, I'm afraid no one would believe her later.
The pause couldn't be too long, or she would definitely be questioned. Luo Yuejian spoke slowly while racking her brains for an excuse: "Do you think that just because it's a possibility, we should give it a try?"
"What do you mean?" The guy wearing large floral trunks frowned.
Luo Yuejian also paused. Damn it, how would she know what it meant!
Luo Yuejian couldn't help but steal a glance at the Gentle Man with Glasses, thinking to herself that it was his turn now. Wasn't he quite enthusiastic about his nonsensical analysis before? This was the exact moment for him to step up! Quick, hurry and analyze the meaning behind her words; don't leave her here alone and embarrassed!
However, this time the Gentle Man with Glasses was going to disappoint her. Because the Gentle Man with Glasses was also waiting for Luo Yuejian's answer.
The air remained silent for a long while. Luo Yuejian really couldn't think of a reasonable excuse, so she decided to use a delaying tactic.
Luo Yuejian turned around without a word and walked away in silence.
Seeing Luo Yuejian turn and walk away without a word, as if she were going to do something but wasn't prepared to explain it to them, the remaining three players looked at each other, not knowing what Luo Yuejian actually wanted to do.
Time was tight, and the players were feeling somewhat anxious, but due to the strength Luo Yuejian had displayed earlier, they didn't dare say much and had to follow Luo Yuejian forward, completely confused.
As she walked, Luo Yuejian thought about how she should solve the current predicament. The main thing was that she wasn't a smart person to begin with; if she could really come up with a reasonable explanation in such a short time, it would be a miracle.
Since there was no way to explain what she had just said, Luo Yuejian decided to take a different approach.
All the foreshadowing done earlier in this game round couldn't go to waste. She prepared to establish her dignity as a "big shot" and make this group of players afraid to question her again!
She realized clearly that she had to rely on establishing authority to intimidate this group of players; she had to display a level of force she didn't actually possess. By this time, they were almost at the main gate. A good idea suddenly appeared in Luo Yuejian's mind.
Since she wanted to establish authority, it had to be with great momentum.
For example, if you punch a wall, no matter how hard you hit, at most you can only make a "thud" sound. Unless you are truly infinitely strong and knock the wall down directly, it would look very childish and wouldn't be able to intimidate anyone at all.
But if you hit an iron gate, you only need to use a little force to make a loud sound. This effect would be quite sufficient.
Therefore, Luo Yuejian immediately decided to strike the gate to demonstrate her force and intimidate the other players.
If only her passive skill 10-Minute Minor Strength Boost could trigger at this moment; the momentum would certainly be even greater then.
However, passive skills couldn't be triggered just because she wanted them to. Luo Yuejian felt a bit of regret in her heart, but she didn't force it. She walked towards the gate, not noticing that the several players behind her had stopped in their tracks in the distance.
The Gentle Man with Glasses pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping imperceptibly over the guy wearing large floral trunks. It was this guy who had suddenly stopped for some unknown reason just now; out of an inexplicable intuition, he hadn't continued walking either.
As for the Girl in Pink Jeans, she saw that the other two players had inexplicably stood still and stopped moving forward, so she subconsciously followed the herd mentality and stayed put.
At this moment, Luo Yuejian was completely unaware of the actions of the players behind her. She secretly took a deep breath, gathered all her strength, and threw a punch!
At the same time, she turned back, a cold light flashing in her eyes, preparing to say something to intimidate the other players with her momentum.
However, in that very instant, over a dozen diamond-shaped Flying Dagger shot out from above the gate with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," shooting straight toward the open space in front of the gate!
Luo Yuejian was stunned when she saw this scene, thinking to herself: What the f*ck, what happened?! Where did the Flying Dagger come from?!
The other players were even more shocked by the scene before them, gasping in cold air. After reacting, they hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be hit by the Flying Dagger.
However, because they were standing at a distance from the gate, there were no casualties.
And because Luo Yuejian was standing right under the gate, given the angle at which the Flying Dagger were shot, it was impossible for them to attack the person below them, so she was also unharmed.
Everyone was too shocked by this thrilling scene to speak. After a long while, the guy wearing large floral trunks swallowed his saliva and asked tremblingly: "What are you doing? You... are you trying to kill us to win directly by relying on the guaranteed mechanism?!"
Luo Yuejian pretended to be calm; if she showed fear at this moment, her previous air of superiority would vanish completely. She swept her gaze calmly over everyone, letting her eyes linger on the Gentle Man with Glasses for a few extra seconds (actually, she was thinking of what to say), and then asked in a cold tone: "Did you understand?"
As for what they should have understood, she would have to think about it...
The Gentle Man with Glasses took a deep look at her, then said: "No, the Great God just wanted to tell us that this gate is dangerous; just hitting it once almost cost us our lives. If we enter the wrong password, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Yuejian and said meaningfully: "Great God, am I right?"
Luo Yuejian: ?
Luo Yuejian herself felt a bit guilty; after all, she had just almost really done exactly what the guy wearing large floral trunks said, clearing the game by relying on the guaranteed mechanism.
The problem was, how could she have such an idea? She wished that she had been the one standing under the rain of Flying Dagger, okay!
If it had been a few previous game rounds, she likely would have gone along with the words of the guy wearing large floral trunks, indicating that she had intentionally wanted to trap and kill the other players, thereby inciting their hostility towards her and making them try to join forces to kill her.
But in this round, to be honest, with just these three New player, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to beat her.
This wasn't Luo Yuejian being overconfident, but in the previous round, facing the Old Man with a Cane and the Little Girl with a Crown, both big-shot players, she had still managed to trade blows with them by relying on her Agility Instinct.
She was afraid that if she really said she had done it on purpose and these three players became hostile towards her, who knows, maybe in a little while, she would really have to clear the game relying on the guaranteed quota.
But at this moment, Luo Yuejian couldn't say that she had been careless just now, otherwise wouldn't her air of superiority be gone?
So, Luo Yuejian could only nod along with what the Gentle Man with Glasses said, pretending that she had wanted to indicate that the gate was dangerous and that one needed to be careful when opening it.
