The two cooperated very smoothly, and it took three and a half hours to sweep the area. Including the previous ones, a total of four clues were harvested, one of which belonged to Qian Yutao, and the remaining three belonged to others.
So Qian Yutao took her own and another person's, and Ye Xu took two others'. In addition, Ye Xu also obtained two clues about himself through side missions.
The second branch task is very simple, just put together the scattered puzzle boards. He quickly completed the thirty-piece puzzle and got a clue.
The contents of the two clues were directly recorded in the memo by Ye Xu, so you don’t need to take out the paper to read it, you can see it when you open the memo—
[Hidden Clue 1: Vacuum pumping is possible.]
[Hidden clue 2: Pink cherry pattern.]
Ye Xu looked confused, what the hell is this
Isn't the vacuum stuff sold in the supermarket just vacuum-packed food? But what does the pink cherry pattern refer to? Pink cherries painted on the packaging
Although the clues are a little hard to explain in words, Ye Xu still feels very relieved. After all, the two side missions not only gave clues, but as I said before, you can get reward points for doing the missions.
Although the side mission this time was mainly to get clues, the system still rewarded them with some points. According to the degree of difficulty, 10 points for the easy branch, 25 points for the difficult branch, and 50 points for the hell branch.
So Ye Xu now has a net profit of 35 points, which is not a loss.
After finding all the corners and corners, the two of them came to the previously agreed place to gather. The other two teams hadn't arrived yet, Ye Xu and Qian Yutao looked at each other, walked to the empty shelf nearby, and continued to search.
Zhang Xun should be in charge of this, but they have already gone to the other side, so they won't find out what Ye Xu and the others are doing. Ye Xu asked Qian Yutao to watch out, and he got down on the ground to check other seams, and even took a flashlight to check the shelves against the wall.
However, they didn't find any clues, so Ye Xu was the watchdog, and Qian Yutao went to look behind the price tag to see if there were any hidden clues.
"I found it, here!" Qian Yutao greeted Ye Xu in a low voice, and she carefully twisted out a note from behind a price tag, "Look quickly."
Ye Xu also came over, and the two had already written down their own patterns, and now they could tell at a glance whether they resembled him or not. If it looks like it, then compare it with the picture to ensure that every line is the same, so as to confirm whether this is your own.
"It's mine." Ye Xu was a little surprised.
Qian Yutao stuffed the note to him: "Put it away quickly, we will continue to look for it."
"it is good!"
Avoiding Zhang Xun's eyes and ears, they almost searched through all the shelves in this part, but unfortunately they didn't find any more clues.
In the end, there were only a few shelves that were too close to Zhang Xun, so it was inconvenient to check. The two hurriedly wrote it down, and then hurried back to the meeting point, pretending to have just arrived.
The assembly point is just in front of the escalator on the second floor to the first floor. After assembly, everyone goes to the first floor to find something to eat.
Although it is not easy to tamper with the goods in the supermarket, they are trapped in it and cannot stop eating or drinking. So as long as it’s not too much, it should be okay to only use water and food to meet physiological needs...
Ye Xu felt a little stuck, feeling that this dungeon was not delicious. The supermarkets are full of dry food, or frozen food, or even raw meat and salted fish.
The only thing that is hot is the steamed stuffed bun area, but there are no NPCs in this supermarket, where can the staff come to make hot buns for them? Cold steamed buns are fine. Cold steamed buns are really hard, and it is very painful to eat. It is better to eat bread.
When Ye Xu came to the assembly area for the second time, the remaining team had already arrived. This team is composed of two seniors who have lived in three or four worlds. The female is Zou Si, who is relatively junior, and the male is Yao Zijin, who is relatively senior.
Both of them have no sense of presence, and they have been very low-key before. Maybe it's because they just met each other, and they didn't have much chance to make a fuss, and they have been cooperating with Zhang Xun's arrangements.
"Did you find any extra clues? We can show the patterns on the back together, and we can exchange them if necessary." Yao Zijin greeted Ye Xu and the two, and suggested very friendly.
He said this directly without waiting for Zhang Xun to come, Ye Xu couldn't believe that this man was eager to get clues about himself. The biggest possibility was that Yao Zijin didn't trust Zhang Xun, so he didn't want Zhang Xun to know if he had any clues about himself.
There is no competition mechanism in this world, but no one can tell whether there will be a neuropathy, so it is not good to see people. Whoever has a clue is targeted, deliberately preventing people from passing the level.
It's not like they haven't seen such a person in the previous world, even Ye Xu met once in the second world. But that guy was more unlucky that time, he had his eye on a hard stubble from the very beginning, and was directly tossed by the other party until he died the next day.
Ye Xu didn't stand up to take the job, but handed it over to Qian Yutao to negotiate. After all, on the surface, Qian Yutao must be in charge of their team.
Qian Yutao glanced at Ye Xu, thought for a while, and said, "It's not safe, that's good, let's go to the bean area downstairs and use beans to draw a rough pattern. If you find a pattern similar to yours, Let’s take that out and check it out.”
Although it is possible to take them out one by one for identification, it is too time-consuming. Taking them out together is riskier, and it’s not good if you lose any of them, since they are small notes after all.
Anyway, the pattern is not complicated, and it is very fast to draw. After drawing in the bean pile, it can be erased. If Zhang Xun finds out that a group of them are gathered in the bean area, he can also excuse that he is looking for a note in the bean.
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and everyone immediately went to the first floor.
The bean area is just in front of the end of the escalator, and the beans are not easy to search for, so it will save time for everyone to search together. This kind of thing is most afraid of missing a piece when looking for it. The note is so small that it is easy to hide it in the bean pile.
In the same way, the rice pile is the same. However, you can reach out and search for the bean piles without psychological pressure, and the rice piles are a bit troublesome. After all, when you look at them, you always feel that the rice is more likely to be dirty.
"Use this." Ye Xu pulled a few disposable plastic bags from the side, "Turn it with your hands, so as not to get things dirty."
"This is good!" Everyone happily took it. Although it is not as good as disposable gloves, it is worse than nothing.
Qian Yutao felt that she was not good at drawing, so she asked Ye Xu to do it. Ye Xu's memory is also better than hers, and he claims to have a photographic memory, so he can draw the pattern directly without looking at the note.
Zou Si of the other pair did the same, drawing the pattern with ease. She may not be able to compare with Ye Xu in her memory, but the painter dumped Ye Xu for three streets, and in the end her painting was better than Ye Xu's.
The two teams glanced at each other, Ye Xu and Qian Yutao each found a pattern similar to their own, while on the other side only Zou Si found two clues that seemed to be her.
So Qian Yutao and Zou Si exchanged first, checked the pictures against each other, confirmed that it was theirs, and successfully exchanged. Ye Xu switched with Yao Zijin again, because that one was assigned to Yao Zijin. After Ye Xu got his own clue, Zou Si wanted to exchange one of his other clues with Yao Zijin for hers.
"You all got it, but I'm unlucky." Yao Zijin said angrily, "It's not good in the past, Zhang Xun and the others took mine, right?"
Ye Xu thought for a while and said, "I found a side mission before, and I can tell you about it. The side mission will reward a hidden clue, but you have to promise that if you meet me in the future, you will give me the clue for free."
The puzzle task is relatively simple, and the clues given are relatively "useless", so it is best to exchange them. But the task of the mug was difficult, and the clues given were very accurate, which helped Ye Xu sort out a lot of items.
Yao Zijin was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you afraid that we will lie to you? Turn your face and deny anyone after completing the task?"
"I'm not afraid." Ye Xu smiled slightly. He is someone who is under the protection of the system's father. "You promise to the game system. I believe the Lord God of the system will approve this deal and guarantee my interests."
Zou Si looked at him in surprise, with an expression of "Are you crazy". But Ye Xu was unmoved, and still just smiled and asked them if they would accept the deal.
Instead, Qian Yutao asked calmly, "How do you promise?"
"Open the system notification page, and promise to that page." Ye Xu said concisely.
"Okay." Qian Yutao immediately followed suit without any hesitation.
The other two hesitated for a moment, and then made a promise. Ye Xu nodded in satisfaction, and told them the mission of the puzzle.
"After dinner, we will exchange places to search. You can take the opportunity to go there. Or you can trigger the mission when passing by, because after the mission starts, you will enter a separate space immediately. After you complete the mission and come out, only a second has passed outside. Usually, the clock will not be found to be abnormal." Ye Xu reminded.
Qian Yutao was thoughtful: "No wonder I never noticed when you accepted the mission..."
At this moment, everyone is not in a hurry to complete the task. After all, the puzzle area is a little far away from the meeting point, so it is not easy to explain in the past. Anyway, I took all the plastic bags, so why not rummage in the bean area to see if there are any clues.
Ye Xu took the opportunity to continue filling in the memo with the text on the clue line just now and the content of a clue he found before—
[Common Clue 1: Clothing related.]
[Common clue 2: Plastic products.]
There are many kinds of plastic products related to clothing, such as plastic hangers, plastic suitcases and the like. It's hard to guess what it is just by looking at this, but combined with the previous "vacuum pumping", Ye Xu immediately locked the item.
This is a very useful thing, but it is relatively remote, and not many people know it. If you meet a player who has never heard of this thing, you will probably have no way to start, and you will be dumbfounded.
