Chapter 194: The Way Out of the Maze and Selling the Map
"What prize?"
Zhang Tuohai opened the box curiously.
Placed inside was something that looked like a stack of banknotes. There were complicated patterns and a bunch of meaningless symbols painted on the surface of the banknotes, and numbers were marked in the corners, some were 100 and some were 20.
Zhang Tuohai counted and found the total amount was 1020, with both decimal and integer numbers.
Zhang Tuohai guessed that this might be the currency needed for the supply stations mentioned by the game system.
But how was this amount arrived at?
Zhang Tuohai asked about the game system curiously.
The game system explains that the time limit for passing the maze is three hours, each minute is worth 10 points, and the total for 3 hours is 1,800 points.
Each car starts counting down after entering the maze, and 10 points will be deducted for every minute. After passing the maze, the remaining time will be converted into money and returned to the player.
“Is this what time means money?”
Zhang Tuohai looked at the currency in his hand in silence.
If he had known this earlier, he would not have bothered to test the strength of the wall, and he might have won dozens more lottery tickets.
However, it's no use regretting now.
Zhang Tuohai began to sell his passage through the maze to several acquaintances.
Zhao Wanwan and Cang Xiaokong both chose a safer way to bypass the maze, so this map was of no use.
In desperation, Zhang Tuohai targeted the Su sisters.
At this time, inside the maze, Su Qi stood in front of the car, threw up a shoe, looked at the place where the shoe fell, and pointed decisively: "Go this way!"
"We have walked here three times, and each time we ended up going back." Su Mu said helplessly.
"Really?" Su Qi scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Of course, I throw away a metal part at every intersection I pass. I have already left three metal parts at this intersection."
Su Mu pointed at the three metal parts in the corner and said.
"What should we do? Are we going to be trapped and die here?"
Su Qi was a little shaky.
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way."
Su Mu flipped through the drawings in the car, trying to find a way to solve the current dilemma.
Su Qi walked around the car anxiously, and suddenly, she stopped.
"Sister, come and look, there is a SpongeBob carved here, but it is so ugly."
Su Qi pointed at the pattern on the wall and said.
"SpongeBob? Let me see?" Su Mu jumped out of the car when he heard that.
SpongeBob SquarePants is the culture of their original world. She doesn't believe that the game system has so much time to decorate the walls of the ice and snow maze.
This SpongeBob must have been carved by a player.
Su Mu jumped out of the car and came to Su Qi's side. As expected, he saw SpongeBob SquarePants carved on the wall.
Well, it is indeed extremely ugly.
"Sister, I get it. This must be a mark carved by some predecessors. The direction of SpongeBob's finger must be the exit." Su Qi said .
"We can't be sure about that. After all, we don't know whether the person who left the mark finally walked out of the maze. What if it points to a dead end? Wouldn't it be a waste of time? We might even fall into someone else's trap."
Su Mu thought more and reached out to stop Su Qi.
"So what should we do? Keep wandering around in the maze?"
Su Qi asked.
Suddenly, the private message notification sounded.
Su Qi opened it and became excited. She said loudly, "Sister, Brother Zhang asked if I wanted the map of the ice and snow maze."
"He really walked out? Ask what the price is?"
If it were someone else, Su Mu might still be suspicious, but she and Zhang Tuohai have been working together for a long time, and she has also seen Zhang Tuohai selling supplies on the regional channel for a long time. She believes that Zhang Tuohai will never use a fake map to deceive them.
"Brother Zhang said that he only has a part of the map. If you find the sign on the wall, you can contact him. He sells subsequent route signs. If you can successfully leave, you need to give him 300 game currency points."
"What is game currency?" Su Mu asked.
"After leaving the maze, each player will be given some game currency as a reward. He asked for 300. He also said that since we often trade with each other, he would allow us to pay after we leave. If we were strangers, we would have to provide collateral."
Su Qi said immediately.
"Okay, tell him that we agree. If we don't have enough game currency after we leave, I will make up the difference with other drawings." Su Mu said.
She was almost driven crazy by this maze.
Anyone would get anxious if they keep walking around in the same place.
What's more, this is a world of survival that determines life and death.
If she couldn't get out, she might really be trapped here and die.
"Okay, I'll ask him right now." After getting permission, Su Qi immediately sent a private message to Zhang Tuohai.
"What we are seeing now is the mark for SpongeBob. Which way should we go next?"
"SpongeBob? I didn't draw SpongeBob?" Zhang Tuohai was a little confused.
"It's SpongeBob, with poop on his head. I can't be seeing wrong!" said Su Qi.
"What kind of magical painting is this? Take a picture of it and let me see it." Zhang Tuohai said.
"Here, this is it. Picture.jpg"
"This is fucking Lazy Sheep!" Zhang Tuohai was speechless.
"Then why is it a square head?"
"Because I used a gasoline saw, it's too troublesome to draw curves." Zhang Tuohai was speechless.
"Then how do we go? Should we follow the direction that Lan Yangyang pointed?" Su Qi asked.
"No, go in the opposite direction. At the next intersection, you will see a simple symbol on the wall of each passage. Choose the Hongxing Erke symbol. At the next intersection, choose Mixue Ice City. At the next intersection, choose White Elephant Instant Noodles. At the next intersection, choose Huiyuan Juice. At the last intersection, choose Chery Automobile. Then you can get out of the maze."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"I understand. Only domestic companies will help you at critical moments." Su Qi understood.
Zhang Tuohai smiled but said nothing.
"I'll give you the money when you get out."
"By the way, this is also for you. It's a gift."
Su Qi said as she sent a blueprint to Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai opened the drawing and took a look.
[Advanced juicer manufacturing blueprint: Level 2 auto parts, can improve the taste of juice by one level. ]
[Material: Intermediate Metal Ingots: 4 units, Metal Parts: 20 units, Glass: 5 units, Intermediate Electronic Components*1]
It is of no use to ordinary people, but it is the icing on the cake for Zhang Tuohai.
"Thank you. I'm giving this to you as a return gift." Zhang Tuohai handed back a pink Glock with a magazine of bullets.
This thing is useless except for its good looks, so Zhang Tuohai can only keep it as a collection.
But it feels weird for a grown man to collect a pink pistol, and it’s also Hello Kitty-themed, which is a bit annoying. It’s just right for Su Qi, who loves beauty.
