Chapter 428 Heading to the Empire Convenience Store

Early in the morning, Jian Xiao woke up to the broadcast of the program group.

Two more unlucky guys were eliminated, and now the number of guests left is 96, and this is only the second day.

Jian Xiao got up, washed, cleaned up, locked the door, and went to yesterday's supply point to get breakfast.

This time it is not a group task, but a single task. Those who succeed in the challenge can get food and water for a whole day.

That means, for the next day, everyone can concentrate on finding clues instead of worrying about food and drink from time to time.

The Supplies Point challenge is called "Is It Nothing to Do", aka "Turtle Soup".

The staff began to tell the rules:
"I will tell the challenger an incomprehensible event, and the challenger can ask me any question, and I can only answer yes, no or nothing."

"Challengers need to guess the truth behind this matter based on the question stem and the information obtained from the question. If they guess correctly, they will pass the level."

"Number 9, are you ready?"

Jian Xiao nodded and replied: "Ready, please tell me."

"A lady went to a shoe store and bought a pair of red high heels, which heralded her death tonight," the staff said.

This sentence is very simple, and there is no cause and effect, nor any logic.

What Jian Xiao needs to do is to connect the logic through asking questions to get a more reliable answer.

"Has this lady never worn high heels?" Jian Xiao asked.

"Yes." The staff member said.

"Is this lady's death a suicide?" Jian Xiao asked again.

"no."

"Red is specifically mentioned in red high heels. Is this color important?"

"It has nothing to do with that."

"The death of this lady is directly related to the high heels?"

"Yes."

"Does this lady have to wear high heels for her job?"

"no."

"Does this lady need other people's cooperation?"

"Yes."

"..."

Jian Xiao and the staff asked and answered, and they asked nearly twenty questions in a blink of an eye.

She slowly listed the information she got:
She doesn't need to wear high heels at work, and she doesn't usually wear high heels. She died after wearing them once, which means that the cause of her death is likely to be related to her sudden increase in height.

If it wasn't suicide, it meant it was an accident or homicide...

Thoughts swirled in Jian Xiao's mind, trying to answer:
"This lady has a special profession. She may be an acrobat. She performed knife-throwing acrobatics with her partner. She held an apple and asked her partner to shoot the throwing knife blindfolded."

"But because she suddenly wore high heels, her height increased by a few centimeters, but her partner still shot the throwing knife according to her previous height. As a result, the flying knife did not hit the apple on top of her head, but hit her head instead, resulting in death. "

The staff applauded; "The answer is correct, congratulations on getting food for the day on the 9th."

Soon, someone brought the food over.

Compared with yesterday's dry bread, today's food has obviously risen to a higher level, with different flavors of biscuits and crispy noodles.

It is easy to carry and has a strong sense of satiety. Apart from being too dry and choking, there are no disadvantages.

Fortunately, the program team also prepared water, not just one bottle, but three bottles of 500ml water, which is definitely enough to meet the basic drinking water needs of adults throughout the day.

Jian Xiao packed food and water, and headed towards the Imperial Convenience Store.

She hadn't forgotten that she still had a jade pendant token, which had to be sent to the Imperial Convenience Store before she could get clues to the next step.

On the way to the convenience store, she ate some breakfast biscuits and drank half a bottle of water.

Jian Xiao is in good spirits.

I slept soundly last night, and I ate and drank enough in the morning, and I am in very good condition.

Along the way, I also ran into several other guests. Compared with the thick dark circles on the faces of others and the depressed state of mind, she looked unique.

Made several amateur guests doubt life;
Could it be that the program team has made a small fuss for the artistes and guests?How does it look like, Jian Xiao is not playing the same game as them?
The map of the game venue needs to be explored by yourself. Jian Xiao doesn't know where the Empire Convenience Store is, so she can only go to places she has never been to with her intuition and luck.

It doesn't matter even if she goes wrong, she wrote down all the places she walked, drew them on paper with a pen, made a simple version of the map, and marked the different locations.

In this way, if she needs it later, she can quickly figure out the destination.

Jian Xiao was lucky, walked about half of the game field, met many guests along the way, and finally found the Empire Convenience Store.

It was a green house, and the whole appearance was like a 24-hour supermarket in the city.

There is a small open space at the entrance of the convenience store, which is filled with various things for sale or lease.

The room is full of shelves, and the shelves are full of all kinds of goods.

Sitting in front of the counter was a middle-aged man with a beard and a police officer's badge pinned to his chest, which was very similar to the badge Qin Zhan had shown to prove his identity.

This represents the bearded shopkeeper, who is from the investigation team camp.

Jian Xiao took the jade pendant out of her bag, handed it over, and said:

"Someone asked me to hand this over to you."

The bearded man didn't even look at Jian Xiao, put away the jade pendant, and said lightly:
"Take a look for yourself."

Jian Xiao:? ? ?

This is gone?Just such a sentence?

She clearly remembered that when she got the token, there was a note inside, saying that as long as she sent the token to the Imperial Convenience Store, someone would tell her what to do next.

In the end, she broke her old nose and broke the mess, walked half the game field to find the destination, and only got a "take a look"?
"Do you have anything else to tell me?" Jian Xiao asked persistently.

"You can take a look for yourself." The bearded man said again.

"I gave you the token, you must at least tell me, where is the next clue?"

"Take a look for yourself."

"Cooperating with you, are you an empty-handed white wolf? Why don't you take advantage of it and do nothing?"

"Take a look for yourself."

Jane Xiao: ...

No matter what she said, there was only one sentence when the beard turned over and over again.

Now she reasonably suspects that this shopkeeper is playing the role of a programmed NPC, not an intelligent NPC that can talk to players autonomously.

So, with the mentality of giving it a try, she said again:

"What's your name?"

"You can take a look for yourself." The bearded man repeated.

Jian Xiao: ...Okay, sure.

It should be impossible to get more information on this bearded person, and she has no other choice but to follow what he said and just take a look.

This convenience store is a small supermarket, with a wide variety of items inside, and the open space outside is also full of things. It is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task to find clues from inside.

But no matter what, you have to look for it.

Seeing Jian Xiao sighing, the audience all understood:
——No wonder this treasure hunting game takes a month to play. There are no clues, and the treasure hunting method is all about luck. It may not be possible to complete the task in a month!
——Sister Xiao is the fastest progresser, and now she has pushed to the third step, but it is almost dark today.

——what do you say?This game is very novel, but without enough time and patience, it is really difficult to watch it.

——I agree with the above, the high-energy scene of Miss Xiao today, that is, when she was playing turtle soup at the supply point, and then spent most of the day looking for the way, there are very few things to watch!
——I don’t know if sister Xiao can find clues in the convenience store.
