Chapter 711: The Stepmother (15)
"First, we all need to leave one energy point before entering the safe zone, as a trump card. Then we need to combine the two energy points to maximize their effectiveness. There are twelve men in black in total, so if we want to completely kill them, we need to earn at least sixty energy points..."
Afterwards, apart from the remaining energy point, Wen Wan and Lin Ge gave their two energy points to Liu Zihua.
Liu Zihua has seven energy points. After deducting one guaranteed point, he can use six.
It's too little, pitifully little.
The "Statue" skill is basically useless, since one minute is too short. It can be used to escape, but whether you can actually escape depends on how fast you run.
The clone skill is slightly better than the wooden doll skill, but it is only suitable for group attacks and should be used when there are many black-clad men. Otherwise, it is practically useless in one-on-one combat.
Invisibility is the most useful escape skill, so they decided to focus on the combination of invisibility and attack skills, using invisibility to escape after attacking.
However, six points is only enough for three such combinations.
Liu Zihua: "I hope the production team has some conscience and doesn't give the children too difficult questions, otherwise we're really doomed."
Lin Ge smiled wryly; she was the one who worried the most.
Her little dumpling! I just don't really feel like it's going to work.
The three men found a place to hide and waited for an opportunity to strike. The production team equipped the men in black with alarms that would sound if they were more than ten meters away from them, giving them a chance to escape.
"Let's not move yet. Let's wait for the child to get the energy points. We need at least ten points, which is enough for us to kill one of the men in black."
However, half an hour passed without any movement, and the three of them were speechless.
Wen Wan said, "The production team has another rule: they have hidden some energy points in certain places in this castle. We may need to find the energy points first. If we pin our hopes on the children, we probably won't be able to have dinner tonight."
Liu Zihua agreed.
So the three of them began to move, extremely cautiously.
Wen Wan: "System, do you know where the energy points are hidden?"
System: [You want to cheat?]
"Hmm." Her main point is honesty; she's not stupid to not use a cheat code.
"That's possible, but you must be within ten meters of the energy point for me to detect its exact location."
"Okay, then you better stay alert and don't doze off. If I don't get to eat dinner tonight, I'll stew you."
system:【……】
Soon Wen Wan received a notification from the system. After walking a few steps, she found a box deep in the grass. The box was exquisite, and inside it was... an energy point.
That's too stingy.
This production team is so stingy! Using such an exquisite box to pack an energy point, they really came up with a clever idea.
But finding the first one proves they can find more; it seems they can't rely on the child, they'll have to rely on themselves.
"Let's split up and search, that will be more efficient. We'll meet up once an hour at the safe zone," Wen Wan suggested. Liu Zihua didn't quite agree, but the three of them together were indeed too inefficient. The castle was too large, not only the garden below, but also the interior of the castle itself was quite spacious.
"Alright, be careful. If you see a warning sign, run. Don't engage the men in black."
Lin Ge: "I know."
So the three of them separated.
The other group did the same thing and quickly separated.
The director wasn't going to let them get away with it so easily. Soon, the men in black were on the move, and Wen Wan's bracelet suddenly started making noise.
[Men in black approaching, warning! Men in black approaching...]
Moreover, the sound was extremely loud. Wen Wan rolled her eyes. This was supposed to be a reminder to the guests, but wasn't it a reminder to the men in black?
Wen Wan immediately took off the bracelet, threw it far away, and started running.
The system pointed her in the right direction, but she didn't see any men in black along the way.
And along the way, they gained three energy points.
She currently has four energy points; with two more, she can take down one of the men in black.
As a result, the director noticed her successful actions.
So they contacted three men in black to surround her. The director was clearly cheating, but there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Wen Wan was exhausted, as if she were running for her life.
We need to think of a solution.
First, shake off the cameraman who was following closely behind. He was a spy and a real hindrance; he was just getting in the way.
But the staff member carrying the camera was clearly a professional; they had been following her for so long and weren't tired at all.
"System, can you give me a route and a speed that allows me to outrun this staff member?"
System: [There's no such cheat code. You'd better think of something else.]
[Besides, shaking off the staff won't help; look up at the sky.]
Wen Wan looked up and, wow, there were so many drones filming! The system continued, "Look again at the trees and the corners of the walls."
Wen Wan: It's all under surveillance.
It's so bad that not even a mosquito could fly out. Although some blind spots in the surveillance cameras could be found, it was extremely difficult.
Wen Wan found a blind spot in the surveillance cameras to sit down and recover her strength. When she heard the system warning, she quickly ran towards a safe place, frantically collecting energy points along the way.
Three points were found.
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, more than two hours later, Wen Wan finally received two energy points from Qiao Xiaoya.
Now she has ten energy points.
That's enough to kill one of the men in black.
"System, give me the location of a lone man in black."
System: [OK.]
Wen Wan headed towards the man in black, dodging countless others along the way. Finally, she spotted the lone man in black, used her invisibility skill to approach him, and then launched five attacks with lightning speed.
The man in black stopped abruptly, and Wen Wan removed the badge from his arm.
Wen Wan quickly hid in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.
There are four energy points remaining.
Wen Wan was hungry and exhausted from running.
As for the others, Liu Zihua also killed a man in black, and Chen Kai's group also had Chen Kai kill a man in black.
So there are nine left in total.
That's incredibly fast, considering it's been three days!
Unexpectedly, the man in black would be revived the next day. However, the guests are unaware of this, so they are all exceptionally positive, since the task is not impossible to complete.
Moreover, four men in black constitute one meal. As long as four men in black are killed, they can have a meal. In fact, they could just need two meals. They could skip breakfast or combine lunch and dinner into a portion for breakfast, since leftovers are not necessarily unacceptable.
