282: Chapter 282 Treasure Land 52

She had originally thought she would need to explain to the other players why she wanted them to stop; she had even prepared her script and was just waiting for the three players to ask.

Unexpectedly, the moment her voice fell, those three players immediately threw the heads in their hands onto the ground without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing their swift and decisive actions, Luo Yuejian was also stunned, thinking to herself, "What is going on? Could it be that, without realizing it, my prestige among these players has already become so high?"

They didn't even need her to explain, and these players would just do as she said?

Luo Yuejian felt a little disappointed; after all, the excuse she had worked so hard to come up with had nowhere to be used. Of course, it was impossible for her to take the initiative to explain again—social anxiety is no joke...

The other three players, however, were thinking very simply. After all, they had analyzed before that this White-haired Girl must have already calculated clearly how many heads were in the black liquid and how many more needed to be added.

So, calling them to a halt now clearly proved that she had confirmed the number of heads in the pool filled with black liquid was already sufficient.

For a moment, the few players stared nervously at the pool of black liquid in front of them, wanting to see what kind of changes this liquid would undergo.

However, after waiting for a while, the black liquid in the pool ahead showed no change at all, remaining as pitch-black as ink.

This made the players hesitate for a moment, unsure if what they had just done was correct, or if, in fact, they hadn't put enough heads in after all.

The only person feeling relaxed was Luo Yuejian. She felt a little smug, thinking to herself that she had been right to stop them.

She had previously been worried: what if it was actually like the nonsense she had made up before, and this pool was a reverse trap, and placing 100 heads in it would actually be dangerous?

After all, such things were not unheard of; in fact, they happened quite often.

But now, Luo Yuejian had figured it out. Whether or not any danger would arise from adding 100 heads to the pool was a matter of gambling. And Luo Yuejian's luck was always bad.

But at least she had successfully stalled for time.

In this game, all she needed to do was keep stalling, and she would naturally achieve victory; there was no need for all that fancy, pointless stuff.

After waiting for a while longer and still seeing no movement, the players finally couldn't wait any longer. They didn't have much time left.

The three players exchanged glances, each wanting the other two to go ask Luo Yuejian.

The Doctor with a low ponytail certainly didn't dare to speak up; she was currently trying her best to lower her presence, hoping that Luo Yuejian wouldn't even remember she existed.

The Plump Boss and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket were also aware of this, and fearing they might anger the White-haired Girl, they had no intention of forcing the Doctor with a low ponytail to go.

The two of them exchanged glances again, and finally, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket asked nervously, "Boss, what should we do next? This black liquid seems, seems to have no changes at all..."

Hearing his question, Luo Yuejian had originally intended to say to wait for the right moment, preparing to continue stalling for time. But then she had a second thought: there were less than ten hours left until the three-day deadline when their curse would be triggered, and these players were likely already extremely anxious.

If she just said "Wait" now, they probably wouldn't be able to afford to wait and would have to find ways to look for clues themselves.

Those two veteran players had some capability, and if they really happened to find some clue to clear the level, that would be bad.

So, she had to find a way to keep them steady first.

Since she couldn't let them search for clues, Luo Yuejian thought to herself that she might as well create some riddles for them to solve. This would not only stall for time but also pointlessly exhaust the mental energy of these two veteran players.

Perfect~

However, she couldn't just make up any random riddle; otherwise, if it was completely irrelevant, the players might notice some flaws. If they found out she was just bluffing, that would be bad.

Luo Yuejian's mind raced, and suddenly recalling something, her eyes lit up as she felt she had found a good piece of rhetoric to fool people.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the other players, her tone very cold, "The final treasure is a brave heart."

Once these words were out, Luo Yuejian felt that her intelligence was simply off the charts.

This sentence was a hint from an item she already possessed, so it definitely had profound meaning. But this hint was also just too ambiguous; in any case, even now, Luo Yuejian didn't know what use this hint had.

It would be perfect to let these players ponder it.

Luo Yuejian gave a wicked smile in her heart. Watching the confused expressions of the other players, she thought to herself, "It's good that you're confused; take your time thinking about it. By the time you actually come up with any results, I'll probably have already respawned~"

Just as Luo Yuejian had thought, the other three players were indeed very bewildered at this moment.

Luo Yuejian had mentioned this hint before, but at the time, the Doctor with a low ponytail thought the meaning of this hint was for them to get close to the pool filled with black liquid.

Thinking back on it now, the White-haired Girl's reaction at the time didn't seem like she agreed.

Even before the other party left, she had glanced at her coldly. That was very likely disappointment that she had failed to grasp the meaning of the hint the other party had mentioned.

The Doctor with a low ponytail felt a tightness in her chest. She had already deeply offended the White-haired Girl once before, so at this moment, it would be best if she could figure out the true meaning of this hint to prove her value.

The Doctor with a low ponytail began to carefully analyze the meaning of the sentence, "The final treasure is a brave heart."

The Doctor with a low ponytail had strong analytical skills; she frowned slightly. First of all, the most dangerous thing in the entire scene was undoubtedly that pool of black liquid.

However, her previous suggestion of approaching the pool filled with black liquid was not the correct answer. This was clearly because her answer hadn't been dangerous enough and couldn't embody a "brave heart."

Then what could be more dangerous than approaching that pool?

The next second, the Doctor with a low ponytail's eyes widened sharply, finding the thought that had emerged in her mind somewhat unbelievable.

However, thinking about it now, there seemed to be only this one answer. She opened her mouth and looked at Luo Yuejian, her tone still tinged with a bit of disbelief, "Do you mean that we have to jump into that pool filled with black liquid?"
