Book 1: Chapter 188

Book 1: Chapter 188

This team was full of problem children. Since we were friends, I was very familiar with their routines, but their behaviors and habits were all varied.

Fatty was a naturalist and often said that he was a cat man. I laughed at him and said that if he was a cat, then he would be Garfield (1). But he actually was very similar to a cat. He wanted to eat whenever he saw food and escape whenever he saw danger. If he saw food and danger at the same time, he would see which one was the closest to him and deal with it first.

But Black Glasses was a snake man. Even though he liked to mess around, you couldnt treat him like a fool. Whenever snakes are in danger, theyll spit out the food they just ate in order to stay at peak condition. In other words, cats like to mess around when theres danger because their reaction speed is fast enough. But snakes place top priority on anything that registers as danger. Black Glasses definitely paid more attention than Fatty.

Liu Sang was a meerkat, since staying alive and watching Poker-Face were his only life goals.

So, when Black Glasses said that we should discuss it first, I could easily understand what everyone's thoughts were. Fatty was already thinking about going down, while Black Glasses probably wanted to ask us to take some measures that Fatty thought were unnecessary. By the time Black Glasses looked up, Fatty was already untying the rope and saying to him, "Let's hear what you have to say." But his hands were already reaching out for the grass cover.

"Why didn't you say anything about that village before?" I asked Black Glasses.

He grinned and suddenly looked a little embarrassed, "Hey, it involves a private matter."
