So she asked directly, "When you were picking up the treasure chests, did you notice anything unusual?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Jiaxu asked instinctively, then began to recall. Suddenly, he exclaimed "Ah!" drawing everyone's attention. "I remember some boxes can't be put in the backpack."
This clearly contradicted the rules of the event, and everyone sensed something unusual.
Gu Xi asked the four members of the "Liver Kings" group to point out the boxes that shouldn't contain backpacks.
Lin Jiaxu pointed to his fishing net and the pile of boxes he had dragged along with it. "It's this pile. We couldn't put backpacks in it, so we carried them back one by one."
At this moment, Gu Xi didn't know what to say. If you called them stupid, they at least knew to separate the problematic boxes. If you called them clever, they still picked up the boxes that clearly violated the rules.
Maybe it's because I didn't open the box, so I'm still clinging to a sliver of hope?
To teach these four a lesson, Gu Xi asked them to open the box containing the pile of questions.
If the four hardcore gamers still didn't realize there was something wrong with the boxes by now, they'd be truly foolish. They immediately started opening several boxes.
Although I had some suspicions before opening the boxes, seeing them all empty now gives me a sense of relief. But the emotions that need to be released also need to be released!
"Damn it! Who's so wicked?!"
The four "liver kings" shouted. The others also had various expressions on their faces.
Gu Xi: "Where did you find all these boxes?"
“They’re everywhere, not just in the neighborhood.”
Lorraine: "It seems things aren't so simple."
Lin Xiaoxiao was furious: "We lost a few empty boxes, and overnight they've had so many babies?!"
Gu Xi: "Didn't someone hide the empty boxes yesterday? I guess it's a chain reaction caused by that incident."
Xu Lulu's lips twitched. She had already simulated a scenario where someone would feel resentful after finding an empty treasure chest and then decide to report it to the authorities.
"So, just because I got caught in the rain, does that mean everyone else should get caught in the rain too?"
Li Ruoyang: "What if it wasn't just one rain shower? With so many empty treasure chests, you can imagine the excitement some people felt when they found one, and then the disappointment when they discovered it was empty. Too much disappointment, not many people could withstand it."
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, and they roughly pieced together the whole story. Once the matter was clear, everyone fell silent, considering what to do next.
These opened treasure chests won't be recycled. If they were simply thrown away as trash, that would be fine, but now they're being used to confuse people. If they're not dealt with, it will severely impact everyone's efficiency in finding treasure chests. This is no longer just a problem for one team.
While everyone was still silent, Gu Xi manipulated an object to step on the spikes, and in a flash, she rushed out of the camp, her figure moving away from the camp at great speed.
The survivors of Squad 2333, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, reported Gu Xi's trip to Li Tianhao. Li Tianhao also had a grim expression.
It all started with survivor team member number 3. And while the method was somewhat unethical, it didn't violate the rules at all.
But judging from the current trend, he only managed to get the beginning right, but he failed to control the ending.
Although he came up with the empty box trap method, his original intention was only to disrupt the efficiency of Team 2333 in finding boxes. But who would have thought that his method would not only harm Team 2333, but also other teams, and even the survivors themselves?
There are so many treasure chests out there now that it's impossible to tell the real ones from the fakes, greatly reducing everyone's efficiency in obtaining them. If everyone found out he was the first person to use such a dirty trick, he'd definitely get ganged up on!
Team member number 3 lay prostrate on the ground, sobbing, looking at his leader and pleading for help.
"Brother Hao! You have to save me!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
