Liu Jiayi didn't say anything, but she did think so, otherwise she wouldn't have gone ashore to count the flowers with Bai Liu as soon as the hour was up.

"And the game has already given us a hint." Bai Liu said calmly, "You don't have to work hard to get promoted. In other words, working hard is the stupidest way to get promoted."

"In the real world, the most direct way to get promoted is usually to plunder the fruits of other people's labor."

"So when we can't get the corresponding compensation for our direct labor, the only way left for us is to steal the petals picked by other flower pickers."

"But the problem is that these flower pickers are all NPCs. It is not a wise move to offend most of the NPCs at the beginning of a game, just like it is something that only fools would do to blatantly steal the fruits of others' labor in the workplace, because offending your colleagues will plant hidden dangers for your future career."

Bai Liu sat up and brushed off the dirt on his body. He turned his head to look at Liu Jiayi: "From this perspective, we have to choose a more reasonable plundering channel."

"Refugees." Liu Jiayi looked directly at Bai Liu and answered Bai Liu quickly.

Bai Liu stood up, and he also pulled Liu Jiayi up, brushed the dust off her body, and explained: "Yes, there is no more suitable way to plunder than to plunder refugees."

"The refugees in this game can be monsters or NPCs. According to the worker who brought us here, these refugees will steal rose petals. We don't need to fight directly with other flower pickers. We just need to snatch the roses that the refugees have stolen."

"But the premise of all this is..." Bai Liu patted Liu Jiayi's shoulder, with a smile on his face, a smile that looked particularly businesslike and hypocritical, and said, "Our little witch can perfectly strangle these refugees and snatch the rose away."

Liu Jiayi looked at Bai Liu silently, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch a little: "...You planned it from the beginning, right?"

But then she frowned: "But this plan is not safe. You are dangerous."

In fact, Liu Jiayi had also thought of this method, but she was not sure what level the monsters in this level three game were, and whether she could fight them successfully, so she never brought it up. Liu Jiayi certainly did not expect Bai Liu, a player who was originally only level F and now barely upgraded to C, to fight against a monster in a level three game.

Or maybe it has something to do with her personality. Liu Jiayi is too used to handling everything on her own.

She subconsciously imagined herself standing in front of Bai Liu and protecting her other companions - attack and defense, poison and antidote. This is the duty of a witch and the reason why Liu Jiayi became a witch.

But when she was not sure whether she could perfectly protect her companions, Liu Jiayi would hesitate - she would be the main attacker, and Bai Liu would be in a vacuum state with no one to protect her, which was really risky in a level three game with a mortality rate of up to 90%.

But Bai Liu just neutralized her hesitation.

Bai Liu smiled: "Of course I am dangerous, but obviously you are more dangerous. However, this is the most cost-effective way, and we have no reason to hesitate."

He lowered his hand and casually wiped the mud under Liu Jiayi's right eye with his thumb, interrupting her hesitation: "You just need to do what you have to do, don't worry about me, I will assist you in attacking, if you fail we will probably die together, if you succeed, we will pass the level together, in this game, it is not cost-effective for only one of us to survive - because we still have to win a bigger victory together."

Bai Liu looked directly at Liu Jiayi with her rose-filled eyes: "Do you understand what I mean? I will stand on the attack line with you to cover you. We are in a cooperative relationship."

Liu Jiayi was just slightly startled, and opened Bai Liu's hand that was wiping the stain off her. Then she turned her head away and took a deep breath: "I understand, so what are we going to do now?"

"Wait." Bai Liu looked into the distance, "Wait for these refugees who stole roses to 'mature'. Then we won't pick roses, but these refugees."

Liu Jiayi asked: "When do you think these refugees will be considered 'mature'?"

"By the time they came to attack the two flower pickers with the lowest harvest, I think these refugees were almost ripe." Bai Liu glanced at the sack of rose petals that he had casually placed on the ground. "Normally, this kind of behavior of snatching the fruits of victory should be from high to low. When these refugees came to attack us, it meant that they had already attacked other flower pickers with higher harvests than us. Even if there were unsuccessful attacks, I think there was at least 80kg of roses."

"So before that, we'd better prepare for the refugees' attack." Liu Jiayi said this, but she didn't get down to the ground at all and stood a little away from the rose field.

The place where they were originally resting was some distance away from the flower field, but the moment Liu Jiayi stepped back, Bai Liu also followed suit and stepped back, standing further away from the flower field.

——Liu Jiayi’s senses were more sensitive than his. She stepped back because she must have heard something.

There are some things that don't need to be said between Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi, and they will take consistent actions - such as picking for an hour and going ashore to count the number, and simply stopping work if they find too little, like now they are staying away from the flower fields.

According to common sense, the refugees should have started attacking the flower pickers in the flower fields, but looking around, the flower fields were peaceful and tranquil. Apart from the floating fluorescent dots and working workers, there were no strange people or monsters.

This unnatural sight can only mean two things:

The first situation is that the refugees have not yet started attacking the flower pickers in the flower fields around them.

The second situation is that the refugees did not attack from above the flower fields, they came from underground.

Therefore, Liu Jiayi and Bai Liu did not go down to the ground because of another consideration - they observed that the scene on the ground was too peaceful, so they had to consider whether something strange would happen underground.

The flower field in front of them began to undulate slowly, swaying like red waves under the moonlight. A vague sound of rustling vines moving began to spread in the air.

Liu Jiayi put her hands behind her back vigilantly, and the black poison in the glass bottle slowly appeared in her palm.

[System prompt: Does the player Liu Jiayi use the skill (poison)? ]

[System prompt: Yes... Poison is being generated in batches, skill cooldown is 1 hour, player Liu Jiayi's physical strength is decreasing dramatically...]

Liu Jiayi took out eight bottles of poison from behind her. She used two fingers to hold the neck of each bottle firmly between her fingers.

Each bottle of poison was full, and a dark black smoke spread out from the bottles, instantly enveloping her. Her original orange work suit was swept up by the smoke, turning into a black robe that covered her body from head to toe.

"Bai Liu, my poison skill has entered cooldown. I won't be able to use it again for an hour." Liu Jiayi approached Bai Liu. She and Bai Liu stood back to back facing the flower field. She said in a serious tone, "I also have an overdraft skill with potential S, called Poison Fountain."

Liu Jiayi opened her system panel and turned sideways to show Bai Liu the skill explanation on the panel.

[System Description: Personal Skill (Poison Fountain) - Causes indiscriminate slow-release damage to all players within the range. After using this skill, the player Liu Jiayi's stamina bar will be depleted. Because the player Liu Jiayi is relatively young, the sequelae of the stamina bar being depleted will be very serious, causing severe stiffness effects such as being unable to move.]

"These are the only two skills I can use as my main attack." Liu Jiayi looked at the rose wave slowly swaying from the horizon, her face and tone becoming solemn, "The monsters in the third-level dungeon are generally above A+. I can take on a small number of monsters of this level as my main attack, but if it's a group attack of this scale, my burst speed attack won't be able to wipe out all the monsters at once!"

"We will be stuck in the wheel station and can only rely on blood recovery to hold on, but my skills are already on cooldown, and the mental bleach is ineffective. Now the enemy is at the gate, and it is unrealistic to find the weaknesses of these monsters to restrain them." Liu Jiayi raised his head and looked at Bai Liu, "The winning rate is too low, do you still want to fight?"

As a frontline healer, Liu Jiayi's primary criterion when performing tasks is survival. For her, as long as she can survive and her health points are still there, she still has a glimmer of hope.

But Bai Liu's judgment standard was different. He was very decisive: "Fight. If there is a chance of winning, we can give it a try. You just need to be the main attacker. I have a way."

Liu Jiayi didn't have time to ask Bai Liu what could be done. The situations in the game were ever-changing, especially in a new game without any relevant data. She could only formulate a confrontation strategy based on the real-time situation and the skills and reserves of the players - this is also called tactics in the league.

With the monster already in front of her, Liu Jiayi had no choice but to trust Bai Liu's on-the-spot command and tactical skills.

Although Hong Tao intended to train Liu Jiayi to become the next generation of tactical master, the cards Liu Jiayi had received so far in the tactical practice games were all five S-level reserve players. She had never played a three-level game with a C-level player like Bai Liu and her own A-level assistant.

Or it could be said that Liu Jiayi would never try to confront the opponent head-on in this situation - the chance of winning is too low, it is easy to fail, and it does not conform to her tactical aesthetics.

But the person in control now is not her, but Bai Liu.

Bai Liu's tactical aesthetics can be summed up in one word: gambling.

No matter how low the win rate is, as long as it is non-zero and accompanied by a high reward game, he will definitely take a gamble and give it a try.

Bai Liu pulled out a snow-white bone whip from behind his back without any hesitation. The roses in his eyes were tender and relaxed as he looked at the rose field that was beginning to surge.
