168 With the Right Plan, There Is Always a Way!

"Another eighty-six points... How the hell are we going to find it in less than a day?"

"Well... That's what we want to ask you. You're the smartest among us. Think of something fast, just like what you did previously. When you give us advice, we somehow able to locate the keys faster."

"Guuh..."

Fei Bao Xing almost cried after hearing the explanation from Chang Miao and the others. If they could not find it, then by the rules, they will be kicked out of the Silver Hands Owl, in other words, death.

Although he was not personally there, it seemed the Elder insisted that the penalty was because of food, intruders, and Deng Huan's group. The food was for him, the intruders were his cousin and master, and Deng Huan's group were taken care of by the intruders. Yes, they were all associated with Fei Bao Xing.

Fei Bao Xing could not blame anyone but himself. IF Feng Zhi Yan and Jun Yin Ying did not come, he would already be dead beaten by Deng Huan's group. But, even after they helped him, he will still be killed for not having enough points.

Moreover, with Chang Miao and the others were not able to think of anything. The responsibility falls onto him to earn more points. With less than 24 hours left before the test is over, it would not be an easy task, arguably it even may be impossible to accomplish.

Fei Bao Xing sighed. "Let's think this through. We have approximately a day to earn 86 points. There are several options available..."

The girls fixed their eyes on Fei Bao Xing. The way he talked indicated how important it was.

"First, we can keep doing what we are doing. Hunting for small spirit beast and search for the green and blue keys."

"Is that really enough?" asked Guan Ru Yi.

"Not good." Chang Miao said, "As time progressed, these keys were already taken. Therefore, there are fewer keys out there and also fewer points for us. Not to mention, we do not have enough time."

Fei Bao Xing calmly said, "I would not recommend the first option. I estimated we will only at most earn fifty points, even that was already considered very lucky."

The girls nodded in agreement.

"The second option is to target the silver key.", Fei Bao Xing said. "As you all know, the silver key is worth 100 points. One will solve all our problems."

"So, where is this silver key?", Guan Ru Na asked.

"That's the problem, we don't have any clue on where is it. Even if we find one, do we have the power to take it?"

Then, why even mention it?" Chang Miao said. "Do you know where it is?"

"This is purely based on a hypothesis. Even, the Toxic Swamp Goby only carried the red keys, that means the silver key cannot be entrusted to a Spirit Beast. Therefore, the key must be guarded by someone the Silver Hands Owl can trust, in other words, the Elders."

"That is if, it was really carried by the Elder. But what if, there's no silver key in the first place."

"Ehh..."

"If we think about it. Don't you think 100 points is too much? The silver key's worth surpasses three times the amount needed to pass the test. It is not weird if it turns out to be fake information to keep us from being too greedy."

The girls shook their head. Fei Bao Xing explanation quite makes sense. It's not worth searching for the silver keys.

"I don't recommend this option either." Fei Bao XIng said, "So, the third option. Rather than finding keys, just steal it."

"Steal!" Chang Miao exclaimed, "This is the last day if we tried to take their keys is the same as killing them. They will do whatever it takes to secure their points. Meanwhile, we have to at least steal from three teams or more."

"Worse, if they know that we have more than 90 points, they will not hesitate to kill one or two of us since they can pay the penalty of killing by stealing our points. On the other hand, we cannot afford anymore, so we have to keep them alive no matter what. Having to restrict our power by not killing them is the same as having a handicap." Fei Bao Xing explained.

The girls frowned, none of these options seemed like a good one.

"So, I recommend the last option." Fei Bao Xing said with a grin.

"Really? What is it?" Guan Ru Yi could not help but ask. If Fei Bao Xing recommends it, it must be a possible option.

"Let's run away!"

"Ehhh..." The girls tiled their heads at the same time.

"If we run away now, there's a chance we might still be alive. Let's just hope that the Silver Hands Owl does not chase us. With the right plan, there is always a way! So, I have a plan in mind. First is we..."

At this time, Fei Bao Xing was being ignored by the girls.

"Ru Yi, Ru Na, what do you girls think? should we go for the second option or the third?"

"While the second option is tempting, but we do not have any leads on the silver key, I guess we have no choice but to take the third." Guan Ru Na said.

"I agree... If we hurry now, we might be able to locate the other teams right away." Guan Ru Yi said.

"Fei Bao Xing, we will go with the third one," said Chang Miao. "What are the plans?"

Fei Bao Xing wants to cry. It turns out that running away was not an option from the start. Even if it was his recommendation, they did not even take a single glance on it. But what is the reason that they insisted on staying and pass the test?

Although Fei Bao Xing had a perfect plan to escape undetected, he cannot do it alone as he has no Qi. So, he had no choice but to follow along with what the girls decided.

"The biggest hurdle on this option is that it's going to be quite hard locating the other teams. So, there is one place I have in mind. In this place, we just have to wait, and all the teams will come to us by themselves.

"There is such a place?" the girls asked.

"Yes, the last place all of us will go to once the team collected 30 points."

"The entrance..." Chang Miao muttered.

"Exactly." Fei Bao Xing said. Once you collect 30 points, you should submit the key to the Elder in charge. Since he said he will be waiting near the South Entrance, everyone will go there."

Fei Bao Xing continued, "If you think about it, while the mission took place inside the Northern Dark Forest, it's because the keys were hidden there. But, it does not mean we have to be in there to earn keys. If a team brought it outside, as long as it has not been submitted yet, it was not theirs."

"Fei Bao Xing, you are a genius!" Guan Ru Na exclaimed.

"Young Lady Min. Let's hurry and get back to the entrance!" Guan Ru Yi said.

Fei Bao Xing sighed. These girls were too naive. While it seemed like a brilliant plan, it was not an easy task.

The team that lacked in points was not only their team, there are also others. And, if that team could not get enough points, they will become desperate. Once they do, they will start using their head on how to earn points. Given time, someone smart or wicked in the team will suggest the same thing.
