I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 774: Chapter 774: The White Glove in the Wildlife Park

“Damn it! How can I not be hungry?” grumbled Hu Dashan, “Just this little food, it’s not even enough to fill a tooth gap! I don’t see how much food he has stashed in that glove of his. If your team destroys our drone again tomorrow, I’m certain I’ll starve to death before you!”

Tan Xiao quickly added, “Untie me and I promise I won’t touch your drones!”

Hu Dashan glanced at him with a complex look, murmuring, “Just go to sleep.”

He then walked alone to the entrance of the cave to keep watch for the night.

Unwilling to give up, Tan Xiao tried to wear down his bonds by rubbing them against the jagged rocks. But the ropes were thick and tight. Despite his efforts, the ropes wouldn’t loosen and he was left panting and worn out, his wounds beginning to split open further.

Tan Xiao ran out of ideas, fought to stay awake for a while, and finally fell asleep…

...

…

At night, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were observing the situation from a hillside.

“…The elephant and the fox are missing,” Bai Youwei looked at the safety hut’s lights and slowly spoke, “Ye Chong wouldn’t rank himself too low, thus, the animal he corresponds to should be a bear.

“During the first attack, he brought along a man in a duckbill cap, a muscle man, a ponytailed girl — a group of four. I infer that he would keep the mouse by his side, and since the man in the duckbill cap is a leopard, the mouse must be either the muscle man or the girl.”

“However, since their elephant is gone, we shouldn’t rush things. The more we engage with them, the clearer their animal ranks become.

“I guess they have also speculated about our animal allocation by now.”

“Correct,” Shen Mo nodded slightly, “In this attack, their main targets were Tan Xiao, Along, and Asarina as they likely guessed that these players rank lower.”

After a pause, he went on, “Actually, the most effective strategy is to prioritize getting rid of the white glove. Capturing the king first, the minions will naturally lose their footing. However, tackling the white glove isn’t easy. He can swiftly shoot bamboo shoots, almost twenty meters long, from his glove, which is essentially like having an additional long-range weapon.”

Bai Youwei thought for a moment then asked, “Can you tell how far his range is?” @@novelbin@@

Shen Mo frowned, pondered a moment and said, “If we’re talking about range, it should calculate the distance between the landing and launch points, but his bamboo shoots, follow his footsteps.”

“So, the length of the weapon determines the range of the attack?” said Bai Youwei. “In the previous hide-and-seek game, Shen Fei was also injured by a player wearing a white glove. I remember it was a very long metal pipe that penetrated Shen Fei’s shoulder, and it continued to move forward at high speed until the entire metal pipe came out of the glove….”

Getting to that point, Bai Youwei paused abruptly and fell silent.

“I think I understand….” she murmured, “The white glove could be a bug item.”

Shen Mo raised an eyebrow, “How so?”

Bai Youwei looked at him, “Could it be a type of storage item? For instance, it allows players to store things inside it and take them out whenever they need to.”

After listening, Shen Mo pondered for a moment, understanding her point.

“Assuming the time it takes to retrieve an item is constant, say, one second, then there is a stark difference in velocity whether you’re pulling out a 5 cm matchstick or a 5 m pole.”

Bai Youwei nodded, “That would explain it. He deliberately keeps exaggeratedly long objects in the glove. Once retrieved, the acceleration gives the item a significantly high damage value! And bamboo shoots or steel pipes, given their great physical harm when moving at high speeds, all make sense!”

Items that damage the balance of the game rarely appear. Bai Youwei’s Rabbit item was extraordinary, but it was also restricted by a need to recharge. Compared to that, the white glove was overly excessive.

Bai Youwei glanced at the northern forest, her expression turning cold, “…He is indeed a tricky opponent.”
