Chapter 197: Global Hide and Seek 7
Chu Yian didn’t know what happened during those few hours; by the time she woke up, it was already the next day.
She was once again thrown onto the street where the game first started, but before she could find Jie Yan and the others, the second round of hide-and-seek was already about to begin.
This time, she drew—
A clucking chicken?
A chicken?!
Chu Yian’s face instantly contorted; she didn’t understand why she would draw something like this. She hadn’t seen any living creatures like this in the first round of hide-and-seek!
However, there was no place for her to appeal, as the game was already about to start.
This round of the game was set in a large plaza, and players were currently scrambling to find places to hide. Cars, trash cans, stones, bricks, and green plants seemed to have grown legs and were running incredibly fast.
But even though everyone was looking for a place to hide, it didn’t stop players from expressing their opinions in the chat group.
“Who Can Find Me: Reasonable! The most important thing in hide-and-seek is reasonableness!”
“Computer Case: You’ve all been through one round of hide-and-seek, don’t be foolish. That underwear brother, why don’t you just jump into the trash can? Be reasonable! Is there something wrong with your brain, hanging from a tree?”
“Black Mist Go Die: Holy crap, I saw a player turn into a chicken. Hahaha, won’t it be the first prey the hunter targets?”
Someone started to mock her wildly.
Chu Yian glanced at it and realized it was her teammate.
Don’t expose a friend’s struggles.
Chu Yian didn’t have time to chat with him, because of the peculiarity of her form, she had to find a very good spot. However, she ran across the entire plaza and felt that there was no place for her clucking chicken to hide.
Chu Yian rushed towards the restroom.
People were also hiding in the restroom; the toilet paper, startled by the clucking chicken’s arrival, even jumped.
Seeing someone, Chu Yian quickly changed her position.
She wasn’t there to hide, but to open the treasure box.
She should have opened the treasure box on the first day of the game, but she never had the chance. Later, after inhaling the mist, she woke up, and it was already the second day.
She now had to use her ‘creation from nothing’ skill.
Turning into a clucking chicken this time was really too bizarre; she even used the wish function.
“A Hunting Rifle”
“Note: To be retrieved after this round of the game ends.”
“Good Item’s Inner Voice: Fate always plays tricks like this. If you can’t avoid it, then perish together with them. A clucking chicken carrying a gun, just thinking about it is super cool.”
Chu Yian looked at the gun; it was identical to the weapon in the hunter’s hand. The hunting rifle didn’t have a slot for bullets; instead, it had a ’40’ symbol on its side.
She pulled the trigger, and with a bang.
The toilet paper, which had just hidden itself in the next stall, was so startled that it scrambled away.
At the same time, the ’40’ on the side changed to ’39’.
So each hunter has 40 bullets?
Chu Yian accidentally stumbled upon an important clue.
But now wasn’t the time to share clues; finding a place to hide quickly was the most important thing. She put the hunting rifle into her treasure box, and at the moment she placed it, a thought flashed through her mind.
Why didn’t she hide in her treasure box?
After all, only she could open the treasure box; it would be an instant win!
Chu Yian instantly understood, flapped her wings, and jumped directly towards the treasure box. However, just above the treasure box, an invisible barrier prevented her from entering.
“Illegal operation.”
“Illegal operation.”
“Illegal operation.”
The game wouldn’t give her a cheat to win easily.
Chu Yian looked at the text that appeared before her and had no choice but to abandon her plan.
“Trash game.”
If it weren’t a matter of life and death, not even a dog would play it!
She tried her best to compose herself, put away her treasure box, and rushed out.
She had already wasted a lot of time looking for a place to open her treasure box. The fifteen minutes of hiding time was very short, and now only six minutes remained.
Where should she hide?
Chu Yian watched the time tick away, suddenly feeling a bit flustered.
No matter where she stayed, she felt that her clucking chicken form would be among the first prey to be caught during the players’ sweep. In her panic, she bumped into the flagpole standing in the center of the plaza, her chicken head colliding with the iron pole with a clang, drawing the attention of many players who had already hidden nearby.
“Wang Po Herself: That player who turned into a chicken is really pathetic; she still hasn’t found a place to hide.”
“Water in the Gourd: Seeing this player forced to turn into a chicken, I suddenly feel like my basketball hoop is actually a good hiding spot.”
“Sell or Not Sell: It seems so.”
“Turned into a Phone: It’s really too tragic. I think she’d best find a place to hide, but with that unique appearance, she’ll be discovered sooner or later.”
Just as a group of players were speaking ill of Chu Yian, another group of people started screaming.
“Wait, everyone, look at her quickly!”
“Oh my god, what is this chicken preparing to do?”
“She must be crazy!”
…The reason a group of people were screaming was that the clucking chicken was climbing the flagpole.
Yes.
Since she would be incredibly obvious in ordinary places, she might as well take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Chu Yian first tried flapping her wings, wanting to fly high. Ordinary items could jump two meters high, but she, transformed into a clucking chicken that could run and flap its wings, could jump four meters high.
“Holy crap, the chicken flies so high!”
“She can’t really climb up there, can she?”
“How is that possible? This flagpole is at least twenty meters tall, the highest point around the plaza. If she can climb up, I’ll twist off my head and let you kick it like a ball.”
Chu Yian didn’t have time to look at the chat group.
She estimated the height and continued to try.
But this time, she used an item.
The moment she flew into mid-air, she summoned her treasure box. The treasure box was beneath her feet, and before she fell, she pushed off the treasure box with all her might, leaping up again and directly reaching the middle section of the flagpole.
It worked!
However, because she didn’t coordinate well, she fell back to the ground.
Only three minutes left!
Almost all players had hidden, leaving only Chu Yian still trying. It was either hide at the top of the flagpole or be the first to be caught.
Chu Yian knew she had no other choice and made a final, desperate attempt!
A running start, a flight, a jump off the treasure box!
She flapped her wings, and this time her highest point directly surpassed half the flagpole. But upon reaching the peak, she inevitably began to fall again.
Then what?
Just as everyone thought she would fail again, the treasure box reappeared beneath her feet, allowing Chu Yian to push off with all her might once more!
Repeat once more!
The clucking chicken performed three consecutive mid-air jumps and a limit (extreme) pole climb in front of everyone, leaving the people in the chat group collectively dumbfounded!
In the last few seconds, she successfully reached the top!
The clucking chicken tightly gripped the smooth flagpole, securing her position, and overlooked the entire game map below, awaiting the hunters’ arrival…
