Chapter 220 Her Strangeness
【Flower Picker (Twin-Tailed Diva)】: "So, did she leave? Did this trick work?"
【If your liver isn't healthy, the mecha won't change its name (Double-finned Mermaid)】: "Whether they've left or not, you didn't turn on the listening function, didn't you feel it? The footsteps are almost too faint to hear, they must have left. But Rose and the others haven't come back yet, I wonder if something happened to them."
Xingxing and Gangan are currently lurking in Oasis Lake, using Gangan's dual-fin mermaid mecha's built-in underwater stealth ability to observe the enemy situation outside.
Once they were sure the enemy had gone far away, Gan Gan pulled Xingxing's mecha out of the oasis lake and looked in the direction where Qiao Mei and Xu Heyu had left earlier.
Qiao Mei's previous plan was to use fake footprints in the desert to attract the enemy and mislead them.
Then, taking advantage of the distraction, turn back and head towards the entrance of the third small map.
The entrance to the third minimap is under a huge rock. Once you move the rock aside, you'll see a large area of quicksand, from where you can directly change the minimap.
Zuo Chenxing was worried about Qiao Mei and the others, and didn't want to go to different places alone with Yan Qing first, saying he wanted to wait a little longer.
"No, Rose said that no matter what the situation is over there, we must enter the third small map first. Otherwise, given that the second small map is full of rattlesnakes, what if they suddenly riot? Do you think you can avoid becoming a burden to everyone?"
Yan Qing's words jolted Zuo Chenxing awake.
He could only let Yan Qing use the [Double-finned Mermaid] mech to drag his mech away, find the sandstone, enter the quicksand, and complete the transition to the third small map.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mei, whom he was thinking about, was leading Xu Heyu on a roundabout route towards the entrance of the gravel pit.
Xu Heyu was a little confused: "According to my original plan, it would have been more convenient for us to take the road to the west, wouldn't it?"
Qiao Mei put away the fake mecha footprint model in her hand, spread the black crow wings that came with the [Black Crow Boy] mecha, picked up Xu Heyu's [Wolf Head Warrior] mecha, and sighed, "Didn't you notice that you've had a bit too much luck today? I'm afraid that if we follow your plan, we'll run into four enemy people, so to be on the safe side, let's switch to the route I chose."
“............” Xu Heyu hadn’t expected it to be for this reason.
Indeed, his luck was ridiculously bad today, and the situation Qiao Mei described might actually happen. He could only stop asking questions and obediently follow Qiao Mei.
Just in case, Qiao Mei also placed surveillance cameras on the route they originally planned to take.
When she led Xu Heyu to the gravel that Yan Qing and the others had moved, the monitor indeed showed the figures of the four local people.
Seeing this, Xu Heyu quickly suppressed his urge to speak to Qiao Mei, somewhat puzzled as to why his luck was so bad today.
Not only him, but Qiao Mei, who was piloting her mech into the quicksand waiting for the map to successfully change, also didn't understand.
If the previous events that proved Xu Heyu's bad luck were just coincidences, then this latest incident makes it seem less like a simple coincidence.
Could it be that her actions, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, caused changes in the characters and some plot points in the book?
Before she could figure it out, she was teleported into the third small map, still somewhat dazed.
Others couldn't see her like this, but Ao Cang, who was watching the battle holographically, could.
He also found it a bit strange that Xu Heyu had such bad luck.
He is a god and can sense the changes in everyone's fortune, but that was before he was still in the Awakening Domain and before Qiao Mei took him away from there.
Before that, he had occasionally gone out for activities.
He had met Xu Heyu several times at that time and had a deep impression of him.
Mainly because his luck was so good that he seemed to be glowing, I paid more attention to him.
I didn't expect to see him so often after that, but by then, I could no longer sense his luck.
Even if he couldn't see it now, judging from his situation today, he could roughly guess that his luck value had dropped significantly.
The reason is currently unknown.
He knew about Xu Heyu's previous fortune, so it was normal for him to be surprised when things changed. But Qiao Mei shouldn't have.
Seeing her suddenly become serious, he had the illusion that she, like him, knew about Xu Heyu's situation beforehand.
Qiao Mei was unaware that Ao Cang had noticed her unusual behavior. While using the survival tactic to switch between minimaps, she continued to observe Xu Heyu's situation, using small details to confirm that his luck had turned bad.
When she arrived at the last small map, which was the sixth map where the interstellar BOSS was, she was basically certain that Xu Heyu might have really lost his protagonist aura.
“But how could this be…” Qiao Mei murmured, her red eyes filled with confusion.
This is the world of the book. Where can the male protagonist go if he's not the main character? Without this thing, will the world of the book collapse?
"Rose, we've reached the sixth level now. How should we deal with the enemy team? They'll be here soon."
Gan Gan's voice interrupted Qiao Mei's thoughts. She could only suppress these chaotic ideas for now and planned to ask that thing again after the second stage of the competition to see what changes had occurred in the world of the book.
She glanced at the landscape, which resembled a tropical jungle but stretched out into a vast desert behind her. For the moment, she was at a loss, so she turned to Xu Heyu and asked him what his plans were.
Although he was having a bad day, he always managed to offer unexpected opinions when making decisions.
This was not affected by luck.
【Wolf Warrior (Master of the Wind)】: "After probing the five small maps, we have a better understanding of the enemy's mech types and strength. They seem to be well-trained professionals. If we go head-to-head, we will be far inferior to them in terms of teamwork. In that case, the only thing we can fight against is individual strength. We need to find a way to break them up."
Qiao Mei cast an approving glance and echoed, "That's what I think too, but figuring out how to break them up is still a problem."
Xu Heyu: "That's easy. Isn't there still a BOSS here? No matter how strong they are, they will definitely have a hard time when they encounter a BOSS. Let's take advantage of that time to disrupt their formation."
Xingxing was a little worried: "But the BOSS won't listen to us, so what should we do?"
Qiao Mei was completely unaware...
