Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 170 Task Weighting

Scarlett solemnly took out the whiteboard and started teaching again.

Seeing this, Ashley cut two plates of fruit and placed them in the middle of the coffee table.

Brian poured nine cups of tea and placed one in front of each person.

Sit up straight.

Scarlett wrote the names of Murgard, Harrison, and several Landon Street owners on the whiteboard.

They also explained their identities.

This will allow everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of what she is about to say.

She turned around and saw fruit on the coffee table. She picked up a piece of pear with a toothpick, put it in her mouth, and said, "I'm sure there's something wrong with Murgard. He doesn't get along with those bosses on Langton Street, and his great-grandson Harrison has his own agenda."

Seeing Scarlett's confident demeanor, Mo Ting couldn't help but smile and asked cooperatively, "How so?"

Scarlett glanced at him, a smile in her eyes, and said, "When I went to redeem you yesterday, these business owners on Langton Street made things difficult for me in different ways. These problems weren't exactly difficult, but they weren't exactly easy either. Logically speaking, if they had a good relationship with Murgard, or were in a superior-subordinate relationship, they would definitely have told Murgard what happened; at least a few of them would have."

"For example, what did I use to exchange for Holster, how did I defeat Bloom, and how did I rescue Tyron at Lake Niega? From today's perspective, I couldn't have done these three things on my own, and they would definitely become topics of conversation and in-depth discussion."

"But when I met with Mergard today, he didn't mention it at all."

"Could he be too calculating and not showing it?" Brian wondered.

"will not."

Scarlett shook her head. "I've spoken to him twice. The first time, I conjured a crystal ball out of thin air and tricked him into believing I was a magician who could communicate with aliens. He was shocked and then skeptical. The second time, I gave him a lapis lazuli of average quality, and his first reaction was to put it away immediately."

"My impression of Mergard is not that he has seen the world, but rather that he is someone who has suddenly become rich and suddenly enters a prosperous world, with a kind of awkward feeling of being out of place."

“There is indeed a problem. This behavior is not in line with his status.” Riley pondered deeply.

"Yes."

Scarlett said, "Mergard must have gone through a lot of trials to stand out from the crowd of females. His personality shouldn't be like this. At least he should be more composed and not show his emotions. But he can't even do that."

"Such a personality is indeed unsuitable for being a person in power."

Holst said thoughtfully, "But it makes sense if it's a puppet."

"puppet?"

Chi Ye looked at Holst.

Holst nodded: "If someone is unable to show up here, then a puppet needs to be found to carry out their orders."

Who is not allowed to show their face? The answer is obvious.

the wanted.

The nine people exchanged glances.

Mo Ting stared at the words on the whiteboard. “Sevier said that the invaders lost all will to live because their companions were executed, and they all died together. This shows that they care a lot about their team members and will definitely communicate any information in a timely manner.”

“Why don’t you suspect that the boss is a wanted criminal, and that Mergard is an outsider who is being ostracized by them?” Zheko countered.

Scarlett asked with a smile, "If we had mental powers, would we still care about guns?"

Zheko was stunned.

Riley's eyes flashed upon hearing this, "It seems the Mistress did a lot of probing yesterday."

Scarlett readily admitted, "Yes. I ransomed Holster with a gun yesterday."

Scarlett held up the same model of gun. "Guns in Oran Rosa are strictly regulated. The latest technology can only be used by the military. I bought an obsolete gun. Even so, Rachel took a liking to it at first sight and asked me to buy a few more."

The miniature pistol in Scarlett's hand is a product that was phased out fifty years ago.

What might be considered advanced technology in today's world is nothing to the orcs.

There was no deterrent effect whatsoever. "Could she be faking it?" Ashley wondered.

Riley said, "She doesn't need to pretend with us. We have technology that's out of this era, and they'd rather eliminate us than pretend."

“Riley is right. We have no mental power; in their eyes, we are like ants. There’s no need for us to be hypocritical.” Zheko agreed.

"So our target is Murgard?" Tyron looked at the tea in front of him, his half-lowered eyelids suddenly lifting as he asked.

Scarlett gave him a look. "You could say that."

"but."

Scarlett paused after speaking, "Actually, from yesterday to today, I've had a question: if we had caught those twelve wanted criminals, would the tragedy on Planet B095 have been avoided?"

“Scarlett, this has already happened and cannot be changed. What is appearing before us now is an image of the past, not the real world.”

Holst denied this claim, speaking as gently as possible.

Scarlett nodded, her expression showing no sign of distress.

She knew this place was fake and nothing could be changed.

She thought for a moment, then asked from a different angle: "If we capture the twelve wanted criminals, it means there's no ice and snow blocking the city, so there's no threat, right?"

Upon hearing the question, all eight people frowned simultaneously.

Upon closer reflection, it seems to make some sense.

Without the city being locked down by ice and snow, surviving for 120 days would not be a challenge; they could get through it smoothly.

You can even arrive in the town of Measant ahead of time and wait for the portal to appear.

But if that's the case, then these tasks are not assigned reasonably.

Full of contradictions.

All nine of them fell into deep thought.

"Another possibility is the weight of the task."

Not long.

Riley speculated, "We may have fallen into a trap by viewing these tasks in a conventional way. Instead, we could consider that not every single task needs to be completed, but rather the outcome should be altered based on its weight."

Riley stood up, took the pen from Scarlett's hand, wrote down the tasks, and said, "The first task has the highest weight. After completing it, the rest of the tasks will disappear, and the portal will appear."

"The second and third tasks have equal weight, and the fourth task will be activated upon completion."

"Looking at it from another perspective, we can see it as the light screen giving us two ways to pass the level, and we can choose either one."

After Riley said that, everyone immediately understood, and the tasks became much clearer.

Scarlett looked at the task Riley had written down, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.

She took Riley's pen and inserted another task between the second and third tasks.

Searching for a beastman.

Scarlett said, "There's another one: find the beastman reasonably. If everything is as Riley said, and the weight of the mission determines the outcome, then the reason for not exposing him makes sense."

Scarlett said seriously, "If a contestant doesn't go looking for her beast husband in the first place, she can perfectly hide herself."

There are many people with the same name.

"The beastman is the root cause of our exposure!"

　Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, I got up to write. Surprised? Unexpected? Hahahaha.
