Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins
Chapter 664: Methods that do not violate the rules
After Chen Mu finished speaking, the players present looked at each other, and no one knew whether they should eat it or not.
Zheng Zetao spoke first. "The client's rules tell us that the hostess's food is poisonous. The hostess's rules tell us that we must eat on time every day.
So if we combine the two rules together, the hostess poisoned the food and the client is saving us.
I think we should follow the client's rules. At least for now, the client has no reason to harm us."
The man in the suit nodded in agreement. "I agree. The client also gave us another rule that tells us how to crack poisonous food."
"Are you talking about Rule 8, that the maid's food is safe, and that we should find a way to exchange food with the maid?" Chen Mu said.
"That's right!" The man in the suit nodded.
"But there is no one in the restaurant, and the maid is not with us. It would be very dangerous to go looking for the maid. Maybe we should have exchanged with the maid just now. We might have missed a way to survive." Zheng Zetao analyzed.
The table fell into silence.
This is almost an open conspiracy, which clearly tells the players that the food given by the hostess is poisonous, and also tells the players how to crack it.
But the players had no chance to crack it. They had just arrived and had no time to react or collect clues.
Less than half an hour after entering the villa, they were pushed to the dining table.
Chen Mu frowned and thought, he felt there was something strange here.
According to Chen Mu's experience, no matter how difficult a strange mission is, it will at least give people reaction time and a way to survive.
According to the client's rules, the proposed way out is to exchange food with the maid, but a method of exchange must be found.
The players don't have enough time to find a solution, which is unreasonable.
At this moment, the hostess, wearing a red dress, walked out from the dark corridor and came to the players' table.
Looking at the players who had not moved for a long time, the hostess showed a mysterious smile on her haggard face, "Why don't you eat? Is the breakfast I prepared not to your taste?"
The sudden appearance of the hostess scared the players.
The players heard a threat in the hostess's words.
Would you like to have breakfast?
The atmosphere at the table suddenly fell into a terrifying silence.
Before the players could make a decision, the hostess turned around and left. She did not force the players to eat, nor did she even supervise them. She was just like a warm host who came to see how the guests were eating.
After the hostess left, Zheng Zetao shrugged and said helplessly:
"Well, now we are in trouble. Either we violate the client's rules or eat breakfast knowing that it is poisonous.
Either we break the hostess's rules, which dictate that we eat but we don't.
The hostess just threatened me, who knows what kind of punishment I will receive if I don’t eat it.”
Listening to Zheng Zetao's words, Chen Mu seemed to have grasped some important information, and a sudden idea flashed in his mind.
"Break the rules? You mean break the rules?" Chen Mu said in a low voice.
Zheng Zetao was a little confused, "Yes, is there any problem?"
Chen Mu nodded. "I think there is something wrong with what you said. We don't have to break the rules. Maybe... we can follow both of their rules at the same time."
"Follow both rules at the same time? These are two contradictory rules. How can you follow them at the same time?" Zheng Zetao asked back.
Chen Mu picked up the fork and picked up the corn on the plate.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Chen Mu put the corn into his mouth and took a big bite.
"Like me, I just eat breakfast."
Chen Mu said slowly while chewing corn.
Zheng Zetao showed a look of shock on his face, but after just a few seconds, he put away his shock and savored Chen Mu's words carefully.
Suddenly, Zheng Zetao clapped his hands, "You are really smart, as expected, you are right!"
"This is just an inertial thinking, you have all been fooled." Chen Mu laughed, "The client's rules only say that the hostess's food is poisonous, but they don't say that we can't eat the hostess's food.
And the hostess's rules clearly state that breakfast must be eaten.
So as long as we eat breakfast honestly, we won’t break any rules.
I think it's safe enough to follow both of their rules."
What Chen Mu said made sense. The players just thought out of inertia and subconsciously thought that when the client said the food was poisonous, it meant that the players were not allowed to eat the food.
But... the Wild Wanderer looked at the boss. It was not like the boss' style to eat breakfast hastily just because it did not violate the rules.
After all, this is a strange mission and no one can guarantee that the rules are correct.
Wrong rules and misleading rules are everywhere!
Who can guarantee that following the rules is correct?
As if seeing the doubts of the wilderness wanderer, Chen Mu smiled and said, "Don't forget, the client said that he would die after eating for two days.
So even if I eat it now, I won’t die and I’ll still be safe.
At least I have two days to find a way to exchange food with the maid.
But if I didn't eat, breaking the hostess's rules, death might come at any moment.
I can still tell what is important and what is not.”
After hearing what Chen Mu said, the Wilderness Wanderer couldn't help but sigh that the old ones are the wisest. Boss Chen found a safe way with just a few words.
Other players also agreed that Chen Mu’s analysis was indeed the most reasonable one at the moment.
Seeing that Chen Mu had already eaten the corn, the others did the same and immediately lowered their heads and started eating.
It’s true, the hostess is a good cook. The food looks light but actually tastes very delicious.
As usual, Chen Mu refused to eat the bloody steak. Who knows what kind of meat it is made of.
While the players were eating breakfast, the girl in the dress sat still and didn't eat the food in front of her at all.
"Why don't you eat?" the man in the suit asked puzzledly.
"I still trust my client. These foods are poisonous. I won't eat them before exchanging them with the maid."
The girl in the dress is a bit stubborn, she believes in the client's rules so much that she dares to break the hostess' rules.
Chen Mu glanced at her. He thought that this person was too stubborn, but when Chen Mu saw her tableware, Chen Mu immediately understood the girl's true thoughts!
The blade of the girl's knife was stained with blood, and it looked like the knife and fork used by an ogre in a horror movie.
So the girl thought that she had observed the key clue and believed that the bloody knife and fork was actually a hint that the food could not be eaten.
The girl who thought she had found a way to survive, looked at the other players who had all been eaten. Perhaps in order to avoid other players getting desperate and jealous and hurting her after she told the truth, she chose to conceal the real reason and use a lame excuse.
But Chen Mu saw through all her little thoughts at a glance.
