Translator: 549690339
After leaving the cannabis ‘hideout, Feng bujue immediately headed in the direction that bu Bo had left.
It wasn’t that he wanted to follow the other party, he just wanted to investigate Bubo’s whereabouts before continuing his exploration.
Not long after, he found a few cl.u.s.ters of flattened weeds, a few broken branches, and a few less obvious footprints.
“That’s not simple …” Feng bujue mumbled as he looked at the traces.”To think that you can think of counter-tracking …”
It was obvious that bu Bo purposely created these ‘tracks’ to disrupt a possible pursuer.
!!
Furthermore, the completion level of this disguise is quite high … If I didn’t observe carefully, even I might have been fooled by him … Brother Jue thought to himself, hmm … If all the NPCs in this scenario are as smart as him, I’m afraid I’ll be in trouble …
Just as he was in deep thought, suddenly …
“Don’t be fooled by the illusion in front of you. ” A man’s voice came from not far behind brother Jue.”He did not move in the direction indicated by the footprints …”
“Who’s there?” When Feng bujue heard the voice, his expression tensed up. As he turned around, he clenched the military shovel in his hand.
Right now, brother Jue had lost his superhuman five senses, so he could not sense the people that were quietly approaching him. This change made him, who had always been cautious, feel a trace of uneasiness … And this uneasiness made him very aggressive.
“Calm down, Stephen. It’s me.” The person who spoke immediately appeared in brother Jue’s line of sight. He was contestant number six, cricket Bellak. Hossein. Aoguan sea.
“I’m very calm. ” Feng bujue was indeed using a very calm tone to communicate with the man.”Raising the shovel to look like I’m going to Cut You Down doesn’t mean I’ve lost my cool.”
“Hehe …” Ao guanhai laughed. He didn’t approach them but kept a distance of three meters. He said with a smile,”is this how you greet people?”
“Hmph …” Feng bujue snorted.”When facing those ‘people with evil intentions’ who are sneaking up on me from behind, this is how I greet them.”
Hearing that, ao guanhai’s expression changed, but he quickly covered it up with a raised eyebrow and said with a smile,””Hehe … I’m sorry, Stephen. I didn’t even realize that I was ‘quietly’ approaching you.” As he spoke, he raised his hands and made a quotation mark.”At least from my point of view, I came here very normally and kindly reminded you …”
“I don’t know when you started to target me …” Feng bujue interrupted.”But that ‘warning’ of yours shows that … When I was conversing with Bubo, you were already observing us from the dark.”
Silence descended …
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two of them was very subtle. It was like swords were drawn, but there was also a hidden turning point.
“Humph …” Ten seconds later, ao guanhai smiled again.”Stephen, I was right.”
Feng bujue glared at the man and did not answer. He knew that the former president was not done.
“Your talent is beyond doubt.” Ao guanhai continued,”work with me, Stephen. You won’t regret it.”
“Cooperation?” Brother Jue looked into the man’s eyes and repeated the keyword.
“Yes, cooperation.” Ao guanhai replied,”if it’s you, you should be able to understand …” He paused for a moment.”In this game, even if we’re just using each other … It’s much more advantageous for many people to work together than to act alone.”
Ha … So he’s a politician after all. This habit of forming cliques must have been ingrained in his bones, Feng bujue thought to himself. But … People like him do have their own strengths. Politicians are skilled in scheming, diplomacy, and acting … Their shrewdness is even better than bu Bo ‘s. ”
“You mean … You’re going to establish a temporary relations.h.i.+p with me that allows us to use each other?” Feng bujue added.
This act of asking the obvious would make the other party say a few more words, and at the same time, it would buy him more time to think.
“Hehe … As I said, Stephen, I’m more inclined to use the word ‘cooperation."” Ao guanhai’s answer was as smooth as a politician ‘s.”Think about it. If you and I work together, do you think the others will have a chance of winning? In my opinion … It’ll only take 50 … No, 45 hours! We only need two days to eliminate the other eight people. ”
“Eliminated?” When Feng bujue heard this, he was suspicious. What do you mean? What did he mean by ‘elimination’… Could it be that he meant to attack the other contestants and incapacitate them? Or … Is there any other way?”
Since the introduction did not explain the rules of poison seeking in the wilderness, Feng bujue was in a disadvantageous position from the start. What depressed him was that he could not ask anyone about this … Because the NPCs in this scenario were all very intelligent. If Feng bujue revealed that he ‘did not know the complete set of rules’, G.o.d knew what kind of trap he would fall into.
“You make it sound like it’s true … But do you have any specific plans?” After a few seconds of internal struggle, brother Jue thought of a way to test the waters while not exposing himself.
“Of course.” Ao guanhai replied,”but I can’t tell you yet.”
“Why?” Feng bujue added.
“Hahaha … That’s enough, Stephen.” Ao guanhai laughed,”stop joking around with a serious face.” He raised his right hand and extended two fingers.”First, you won’t be a.s.sociated with a fool who’ confesses his strategy without any guarantee ‘; Second, the best way to deal with such a fool is to pretend to cooperate with him and then find an opportunity to kill him …”
He was right. In this situation, the person who was unwilling to reveal the plan was the smart person worth cooperating with …
“Humph …” Feng bujue laughed as well, and then he laughed out loud.”Hehe … Hahaha …” He laughed like a mental patient, and the other party could not understand what he was thinking.
After laughing for a few seconds, brother Jue suddenly stopped and put on a serious expression.””It seems like you and I still have some common topics.”
This sentence was undoubtedly Feng bujue’s little trick … It was like he was saying,””My reaction just now was to test you, just like your first sentence was to test me.”
“Hmm …” Ao guanhai’s expression turned serious as he loosened his collar (he had already taken off his suit and tie, so he was only wearing a s.h.i.+rt).”So … You agree?”
” 50 hours.” Before the party that proposed the cooperation could set the rules, brother Jue took the lead and said,”for the next 50 hours, I will stand on your side …” He licked his lips.”As for after 50 hours … Whether or not we have successfully eliminated the other eight people as you said, our cooperation will be terminated.”
“No problem,” he said. Ao guanhai nodded and said,”that’s what I want.”
“Hehe … Very good,’partner’.” When Feng bujue said the last two words, he purposely used a slightly mocking tone.”I hope that your ability to execute will be able to keep up with your plan.”
Hearing this, ao guanhai grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.”“Yes，We_can!”(To be continued.) ”
