123: Chapter 123 Sleep Bank

"The moon? Are you an astronomer too?" Lu Chengfeng asked, his face full of confusion.

"No, I just happened to flip through a few science magazines once in a while."

Chen Mo reached out and pointed at the moon in the sky, saying,

"This moon that only shows half is called a quarter moon. Doesn't it look a lot like a bow?"

"Yeah, yeah!" everyone nodded.

"The one that is bright on the right and dark on the left is called the last quarter moon, which appears on the 22nd and 23rd of the lunar month."

"The glowing side of the moon faces east, and the dark side faces west."

"Left is west and right is east. Meng Zhou said we should go left next, so we should head towards the dark side of the moon."

"I didn't expect the compass to be right beside me. Chen Mo, you really didn't let me down." Lu Chengfeng gave a thumbs up.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhou fell into silence. He was no longer shy about sitting next to a girl.

Instead, like a thinking machine, he cast aside everything in the world and entered his own world.

"That goes without saying! Chen Mo is the smartest!" Su Qing said excitedly.

Xu Xiaoman also nodded slightly, her face blushing. She looked at Chen Mo's back and showed a look of relief.

"Xiaoyun... I feel like this Chen Mo is very similar to you!"

"He really has skills. He doesn't feel like a bad person, he can be trusted."

Only the President stared at Chen Mo, who was giving directions, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

She thought to herself: "The last quarter moon should appear after 12 midnight. Heh, this kid definitely has something hidden on him that allows him to obtain information."

"He pretends to speak reasonably on the surface, and even deliberately uses his speech speed and rich expressions to make everyone in the car achieve logical consistency."

"Chen Mo... I didn't expect you to have such a talent for being a con artist!"

Chen Mo was also using his peripheral vision to gauge the President's reaction.

Originally, everyone thought that after being able to judge the directions, the subsequent journey would be very smooth.

Unexpectedly, three consecutive ring forests appeared.

After turning around inside for a few laps without a sense of direction, they looked up and could still see the moon.

But at this point, they had lost their judgment of north and south.

"This..."

Looking at the time, there was only 1 hour left. Hearing Meng Zhou, they had only just passed the halfway point.

Lu Chengfeng immediately frowned and asked nervously.

"Chen Mo, what should we do next? Since the moon can determine east and west, it should be able to determine north and south too, right?"

"Do you know which is up? And which is down?"

"We should head north next." Meng Zhou reminded.

"Chen Mo, the mission prompt has updated." Su Qing looked at the blood-red text floating before her.

[There are 45 minutes remaining. If you do not arrive on time, it will be considered a team-wide elimination, and everyone will be erased!]

Chen Mo certainly knew how to go. The navigation in the Management Group had the entire route instructions.

He just needed a reason to cover the logical loophole.

"Chen Mo, hurry up, I feel..."

Lu Chengfeng suddenly covered his chest with one hand, his eyelids starting to droop.

"His stamina is not enough. We are passengers, but he is the driver. The stamina consumption is 5 times ours." The President said.

"I also feel a bit tired... If I had known this dungeon would turn us back into ordinary people, I wouldn't have stayed up late!"

Su Qing blinked her big eyes, sleepy.

Lu Chengfeng pressed his forehead with one hand and rubbed his face vigorously.

"I told you... I was staying up late to help Auntie Liu find her cat before, I almost... almost didn't sleep at all."

As he spoke, Lu Chengfeng's eyes closed, his stamina instantly returned to 0, and his head hit the steering wheel.

Unexpectedly, this guy Meng Zhou also had low stamina.

Chen Mo had originally thought that with his personality, he would be the type to go to bed early and wake up early.

At this moment, only the President and Chen Mo remained awake in the car.

"Phew... It's so hard right from the start."

Chen Mo opened the car door, got out, and walked to a tree by the road to observe carefully.

Then he returned, threw Lu Chengfeng's body into the passenger seat, and got into the driver's seat himself.

After fastening his seatbelt, he stepped on the accelerator.

"Chen Mo, hehe, tell me, now that only people from our club are present, are you secretly hiding some item?" Jiang Xinyi asked.

"For a tree, generally speaking, the side with more lush branches and leaves is the south, while the side with sparser branches and leaves is the north."

Chen Mo didn't look back, focusing on driving.

"President, you should remember the map too, give me directions!"

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Jiang Xinyi showed a brief surprise, then she smiled.

She nodded and said: "Okay, today I, your President, will be your guide for once!"

"Next is the northeast direction." Jiang Xinyi reached out and pointed the direction.

She patted Chen Mo's face from time to time, trying to keep him awake.

Because she didn't have a driver's license and couldn't drive.

If this kid Chen Mo's stamina ran out too, then the whole team would be wiped out right at the start.

"By the way... why is your stamina so abundant?" Jiang Xinyi asked suspiciously.

"I don't know if you've heard of a theory."

"It's called the Sleep Bank."

"Simply put, it's sleeping in advance, storing sleep, just in case."

"An athlete, if they are going to participate in an important competition at the end of the month, and from next week they have to undergo two weeks of strict training, during which they can only sleep 6 hours a day, that is certainly not enough."

"But if they start from the beginning of the month and sleep for more than 12 hours every day for a week, then the 4 extra hours of sleep each day, totaling 28 hours over 7 days."

"Can be distributed to the following two weeks, allowing physical function to increase efficiency by 33.33%."

"For the 9 days before entering the dungeon, I slept more than 12 hours every day. My initial stamina was higher than yours, and I know more about health than you do."

After speaking, Chen Mo looked back at the President.

He originally wanted to see the President's shocked expression, but unexpectedly, the President was still smiling.

It was as if everything he did was just a small trick in the President's eyes.

"You said 9 days, Chen Mo, what were you doing on the first day?" Jiang Xinyi quickly caught a key point.

"That has nothing to do with you." Chen Mo replied flatly.

"Go right next!"

"Then go straight, then after entering the roundabout go left, right, after seeing the fireflies, follow the dark path where the fireflies gather and pass through..."

"No, President, you're talking so fast, how could I possibly remember..."

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, he saw Jiang Xinyi's arm, which had been held high, suddenly drop.

Then her long black hair fell to her side.

"Chen Mo, it's up to you from here on... My stamina is not enough either!"

"You... must bring us... out!"

"I... don't want to die..."
