"Should we check out the small town?" Ye Zhi said after she had checked the quest . "Currently, there’s no detail about the plot that restricts players . We don't have restrictions on time either . In theory, we should find some place away from this mountain and wait until dawn, then we will find some heavy machines or explosives to physically destroy the well . It isn’t impossible . "

The Order Studio had assigned Ye Zhi to train on her Curing Specialty, but it wasn’t successful because of the prejudice for a female player . Originally, she was like Feng Bujue, a player who followed the solving puzzle path .

In this group of three from the Order, Ye Zhi was in charge of planning and supporting in fighting; Invincible Hero took care of fighting, while Zen In Scary Dream, who was one of the top players in the studio, was the captain of this team . At the critical moments, they had to follow his decision .

It could be said that with this team of three, even if they had dreggy teammates, with their competences, it was enough to finish a scenario of four or five . The so-called ‘hotshots’ and ‘top-ranked Union’ were the ones who had true capacities and confidence .

"Since this scenario isn’t in the sleep mode, if we apply this strategy of waiting until dawn… perhaps the system will judge us as ‘Passive Playing’," Feng Bujue heard that, contemplated then corrected her . "Anyway, I think it should be useful checking out the small town . One, we can gather more information; two, we can find items . "

Ye Zhi glared at him and thought, "Passive playing… I haven’t paid attention to this factor . " She immediately spoke up, "In short, we should scout the town . Do you have any opposition to that?"

"I agree," said Feng Bujue .

Invincible Hero nodded . Zen In Scary Dream was drinking and smoking aside, so people could guessed that he didn’t have any other opinion .

Copernicus and Galileo exchanged looks for a while before speaking up . "Good then . At first, we can go and check out the small town, but I think we shouldn’t spend much time there . After all, it’s an act against the main quest . " He meant, if all of you have agreed, we two don’t need to oppose, but we should go to the mountain soon as it’s the main quest .

Feng Bujue remained wordless and silent, observing every word and deed of Copernicus and Galileo as if he wanted to find something . Before he could confirm whether these two were GMs or not, Feng Bujue would keep doing that inside . What irritated him the most was a puzzle being presented in front of his eyes, but he had no way to confirm it . And, he couldn't just come and ask, ‘Hey bros, are you the Game Masters? Is there a Derivative in this scenario?’ Even if the others were actually GMs, having him questioned them like that, they wouldn’t admit it, and, in case they weren’t, it would lead into numerous unnecessary troubles .

After the six of them had discussed the plan, they changed their direction and walked on the wide road leading to the small town . However, after less than 10 minutes, they found a problem… The distance between this mountain and the small town was much further than they had imagined .

The edge of the small town was a vast paddy field with scattered residents . Currently, the night had fallen, and there was a moon hanging in the sky, which was shining a dim light . The six players were walking on the wide road that had electrical and streetlight poles on two sides . Although they weren’t many, there would be some well-lit sections down the road while the field on two sides of the road was a completely pitch black area . There were some bus stations on the road, but the board showed that buses would only run twice a day .

Far away at the end of the road was the urban light, where it should be Sakura Town .

In the panoramic view of the opening CG, the mountain seemed to be right next to Sakura Town; in fact, after walking for a while, as the players gradually adapted to the night vision towards the distance, they soon recognized that this road would be around ten kilometers or even further . If they wanted to visit Sakura Town, even if they were moving at a fast pace, it would take at least one hour . Unless they ran there within one breath, they could shorten the time .

"Yeah . . . Seems we made a wrong move," Feng Bujue said then stopped . The others didn't know what he was implying, but they all stopped . "I'm afraid if we keep walking like this, even before we could approach the small town, the system will still judge us as staying away from the Main Quest, Passive Playing . Ah… then, we will have to turn around to get back to the mountain to lift up the Passive Playing status . If we’re going to walk back and forth like that, we’re just wasting Physical Value . "

"Ah . . . Small tricks can’t be used at the beginning of the scenario, indeed . " Zen In Scary Dream always used a rueful tone to talk while blowing out smoke rings .

"I’m sorry, my bad," Ye Zhi determinedly admitted her mistake . "Let you guys go on an errand for nothing… We haven’t walked too far; we should come back now . "

"No, it isn’t an errand for nothing," Feng Bujue denied . "If taking this road was futile, the system would give us the ‘Passive Playing’ warning," he paused, and his tone got bolder . "There’s only one road at the start point of this scenario, which leaves us two choices . First, going straight to the mountain, and second, taking the wide road and going to the small town . According to the distance, the system won’t let us reach Sakura Town, but there should be something related to the plot along this road, that’s why we haven’t received the Passive Playing status yet . "

At this moment, Galileo was eyeing Feng Bujue with a strange look . He didn't make any significant move or turn his head as he just threw a glance to him . Feng Bujue was still keeping an eye on him and his friend . Thus, Galileo’s move was recorded in Feng Bujue’s eyes .

Feng Bujue was now absolutely calm and careful . He wouldn't make eye contact with the others but just glance at those two suspected GMs . When he was speaking, his eyes didn't have a focus, just like his mind was wondering about something .

At this moment, among the six players, there was a hidden war regarding the content of the plot . To Feng Bujue, the most direct way to check if this scenario had Derivatives or not was to probe and see whether these two teammates were the GMs or not . When he could confirm 100% that the others were GMs, then he could speak many things conveniently .

Seconds later, Galileo whispered something into Copernicus’s ear . Then, Copernicus suddenly opened his mouth and talked, "Little Feng-Ge’s correct . I can see it . " He raised one arm, pointing at the road ahead of them . "There’s a big building not farther than one kilometer ahead of us . "

Invincible Hero said, "What? Why I can't see it?" He squinted to observe as if he could really see further doing that .

"I’m good at Investigating Specialty . Under the circumstance that there’s no obstacle and a little of light, I can see farther than ordinary people," explained Copernicus .

Feng Bujue clapped his hands and made some sounds . "Good, the place you saw perhaps would create some FLAG . " He said excitedly, "It’s like some cunning plots, which design the doors always on the right and hide the rewards behind a door on the left side . "

"I hope so…" replied Copernicus . Anyway, it was unknown why his voice sounded dispirited .
