Although Bai Liu told other refugees that he knew a way to end all this, he actually didn't have enough information about the specific solution to the Rose Dry Leaf Gas.
At present, Bai Liu doesn’t know how to deal with the dry leaf rose.
To put it simply, Bai Liu used his own life as collateral and wrote the refugees a blank check for a rose perfume solution, so that these refugees would do things for him first.
But this "check" is not without basis. There must be a solution to the Rose Leaf Gas, and he has a high probability of getting it - this can be inferred from what Tang Erda said and that Bai Liu in other timelines can get it.
Bai Liu from other timelines can get it, so Bai Liu estimates that the possibility of completing this task is more than 50%.
As a player who dares to bet everything if the success rate exceeds 10%, Bai Liu has now used [the ability to solve the rose stem leaf gas] as his prerequisite and used it to fool others.
It was not until Tavel reminded him of the White Willow Oracle again that he determined the specific solution to [Rose Dry Leaf Gas] - it was a specific [antidote].
If rose perfume is the poison, then the antidote should be something that can dilute or neutralize the toxicity and addictiveness of dry rose leaves.
But in the game, up to now, Bai Liu has not received any prompt information about this [antidote], and the system has not given any related tasks. So from this, Bai Liu inferred that the game path related to this [antidote] is very likely not a regular path, that is, it has nothing to do with the main task of [becoming a factory director].
Horror or drama games usually have three endings: [good], [normal], and [true].
The first two are relatively easy and simple ways to complete the game without revealing all the hidden information in the game. They are also the most common ways for ordinary players to complete the game. However, game designers usually hide a deeper ending, which makes the story of the game world more complete and contains more information. This is the so-called "true ending".
To get the [true ending], the game path will be more dangerous, and sometimes you will even have to do something completely opposite to the main quest to trigger some special plot points in order to get more information.
Apparently Rose Factory is such a game.
Bai Liu had followed this idea before, but he made two preparations. That is, while secretly preparing the [poison] and preparing his own rose factory, he was also looking for traces of the [antidote] in the real rose factory.
To obtain this medicine, he needs more information - but this depends on Liu Jiayi, who will continue to be promoted in the factory. Bai Liu entrusted this part of the task to the little girl.
Bai Liu concentrated, closed his eyes and restrained all his emotions. After he completely turned into Liu Jiayi, he opened the curtain of the tent and walked out.
Qi Yifang stood in front of the tent, looking at the roses piled up like a small mountain in amazement.
When Qi Yifang saw him coming out, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I thought you needed my help here..."
He also had a small bag of dried rose leaves in his hand. Qi Yifang must have brought some to supplement his income because he was afraid that Liu Jiayi might not have enough. But now it seemed unclear who needed the supplement.
Bai Liu shook his head and declined the roses that Qi Yifang handed over. He looked through Liu Jiayi's gray eyes at the rose factory with smoke coming out of the chimney, which looked like a heavy industrial processing base, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Inside the Rose Factory.
The dormitory for new workers is on the first floor of the Rose Factory. Dozens of people, regardless of gender, live in one large dormitory. There is no sour smell of sweat, but only the lingering stench of rotting meat and a faint rose scent that floats above the stench.
The two smells mixed into a fragrant yet smelly, almost nauseating odor. People who walked in for the first time would not be able to bear the strong smell that hit them in the face, and would have to take a few deep breaths outside before daring to come in.
Liu Jiayi, the two members of the King's Guild, Tang Erda, and some other processors slept in this large shop.
After a whole day of hard work, the new workers had less than three hours to rest before daybreak.
Liu Jiayi in the dormitory was the first to open her eyes. She left the [Blizzard Goggles] to Bai Liu so that he could disguise himself. That was her last visual prop, which made her operate blindly all yesterday.
Fortunately, the two King's Guild members who followed her brought with them the visualization props she often used. Liu Jiayi took them and thanked them politely. In return, she poured a small cup of antidote for each of them to stabilize their health.
The two wanted to refuse at first, because the prop was originally prepared for the little witch, but in the end, under Liu Jiayi's persistent gaze, they drank it with mixed feelings.
They all understood that this was the little witch's habit of never owing any teammates.
Liu Jiayi had rested well in the past few days under Bai Liu's protection. In addition, she did not do much physical work yesterday, which was done by the other two people. Compared with those workers who really sweated all day, Liu Jiayi's physical and mental state were the best, so she was the only one awake in the shop at the moment.
The others, including the more sensitive Tang Erda, were all sleeping soundly due to exhaustion from physical exhaustion and the hypnotic effect of the rich rose scent in the air.
But as a player who was led by the unlucky Bai Liu to smell the original rose scent (the scent on Tavier's hands) on the first day, Liu Jiayi was much less affected by the rose scent in the factory.
Although she had visualization props, Liu Jiayi didn't want to waste them. As she could use her ears to locate normal movements, she had not used any visualization props from yesterday to this morning. But when she just got out of bed, Liu Jiayi suddenly heard an abnormal sound.
It was like a huge octagonal spider was spinning silk, weaving a web, and crawling on the ceiling. It was rustling back and forth above Liu Jiayi's head. The movement was very small, but Liu Jiayi still heard it.
There were the even rising and falling sounds of breathing and snoring from the worker lying on the narrow bed, the occasional crackling sound of the wall peeling off and the faint sound as if something was being dragged and moved.
She put on the visualization props and looked up, but saw nothing. The old, mottled light yellow walls were only covered with peeling wallboard and some dark rose-colored marks that were burned or stained, looking a bit like dried blood stains.
Liu Jiayi frowned - as a person who has relied on hearing to survive for a long time, she trusts her hearing more than her sight, especially on such a quiet morning, her hearing should not go wrong.
Unless this thing exists, but she can't see it.
Thinking of this, Liu Jiayi immediately woke up a member of the King's Guild who was sleeping next to her. When the other person was half asleep and half awake, she whispered in his ear: "Hey, if you look up now, can you see anything?"
Although he was not fully awake yet, it was the nature of these rescued team members to obey the witch's orders. He looked up without hesitation, and after a while he turned to look at Liu Jiayi in confusion: "...There's nothing..."
This team member can't see either, so it's not a problem with her eyes - Liu Jiayi's mind raced as she calmly and quickly thought about the problem.
There must be some kind of monster on the ceiling, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye or with visualization props. So in this game, this monster must meet certain conditions to be visible.
But what is this condition?
Liu Jiayi's thoughts were working very quickly - they had only been in the factory for one day, and had been working all day, so the information they had obtained was not sufficient. She tried to get some clues from the factory to deduce the conditions for seeing monsters. From what she could see so far, Liu Jiayi felt that she could not do it.
Under normal circumstances, Liu Jiayi would definitely take a step back and be more conservative, leaving the dormitory first, and then come back to unlock this monster after obtaining sufficient information.
But now - she has another channel to obtain information, Bai Liu.
When Bai Liu entered the game, he told her about Tavel's oracle.
Although she had no idea what the weird relationship was between these two people, the one that made her skin crawl as every game was stuck together, but if Bai Liu was right, and Tavel was the core monster of the game "Rose Factory" and had come to see him the night before, then the oracle that Tavel gave Bai Liu before entering the game was most likely some hint about this game.
Liu Jiayi closed her eyes and recalled the oracle that Bai Liu had told her, searching for useful information word by word, while muttering to herself in a low voice: "...Don't use your right eye to hold desires..."
Bai Liu's right eye was eroded by the rose, but this guy's left eye was fine!
This is a hint! Tavel is hinting that Bai Liu should see with one eye!
When Liu Jiayi read this sentence, she suddenly opened her eyes, quickly covered the right eye of the confused King's Guild member next to her, held his chin with her hand and lifted his head, pointed at the corner where she heard the voice, and asked in a cold tone: "Can you see anything now?"
The sleepy expression of the King's Guild member suddenly tightened, his pupils shrank extremely, and his loose face twitched to one side from time to time. He was shaking as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, not daring to breathe. The blood drained from his face in an instant, his hands and feet became weak, and he could hardly sit up.
"Look, I saw a lot." His voice was trembling, and his neck was shaking as he turned to look at Liu Jiayi, and he said very suddenly, "Little witch, the whole room is full of monsters."
The author has something to say:
My friend: I think he dared to gamble with a 6% chance of winning.
Me: Yes, that's right. In this person's eyes, 10% means he has already won.
My gay friend: 6, you are so ordinary, yet so confident. You are just a laid-off worker, where do you get the confidence to gamble?
