At the two hours and fifteen minutes mark,
Lin Ye saw the Sports Meet staff members in the distance. Beside the staff member, a large sign was erected.
[15km Point]
Half the distance.
They had already completed half the distance.
"Phew..."
"We've finished walking half of it,"
Cold Frost looked at it and gently exhaled a breath.
Although she had done long-distance running, generally speaking, that was ten kilometers. Cold Frost had never experienced a thirty-kilometer hiking brisk walk either.
This long-distance brisk walk even included a load.
She and Lin Ye took turns being responsible for the pushcart.
However, comparing the time, she did less than Lin Ye; Lin Ye bore the responsibility of pulling the pushcart for more time.
But speaking of now, this pushcart indeed lightened some of their burden.
Simply moving forward carrying bags and water would only consume their Stamina even more.
Two minutes later,
Lin Ye's trio arrived in front of the staff member. Only upon arriving here did they discover this was a forked road.
Two roads, left and right.
Looking at a glance, the ends didn't have too much difference.
"Hello! Which road should we take to go to the destination?"
"Both roads work."
The staff member answered with a smile.
"I wonder which road is a bit closer, a bit faster."
Oh my!
Clatter...
One of Lin Ye's Strange Coins fell onto the ground. He immediately bent down to pick it up. "Your Strange Coin fell, please keep it safe."
Staff Member: ???
Cold Frost: ???
Erina Nakiri: ???
Giving money had to be done like this?
Erina Nakiri only felt that the sense of contrast in Lin Ye was very intense.
Before, he was completely unwilling to spend Strange Coins to buy water, yet now he was unexpectedly willing to use Strange Coins to bribe a staff member. Of course, Erina Nakiri could understand if she thought about it carefully.
10 Strange Coins for a cup of water was too expensive. Just the four cups of water per person they drank at the very beginning—adding the three of them up, that would be 120 Strange Coins. This was already higher than the initial reward of Strange Coins for the first place of the 'Gourmet Sports Meet'.
Now, using 1 Strange Coin to bribe a staff member to obtain useful information was a pretty good method.
But the problem lay in whether the staff member could agree?
He shouldn't be able to, right? This was an official staff member; how could it be possible to accept a bribe for this 1 Strange Coin!
"Sir,"
Clatter...
Another Strange Coin fell to the ground.
Lin Ye again immediately bent down to pick it up. "Apologies, didn't expect to drop another one. I picked it up for you."
This operation made the few people on the scene stunned endlessly once again.
The staff member gazed on. Even wearing a mask couldn't conceal his desire for the Strange Coins. "This isn't good."
Clatter...
This time it was three Strange Coins.
"To be able to drop three Strange Coins, it's only you, Sir."
This staff member also seemed to understand Lin Ye's meaning. Three Strange Coins was the maximum; adding more money was impossible.
Lin Ye stuffed the three Strange Coins into the staff member's hand.
"I wonder which road is more suitable for us human participants to reach the destination faster!"
It seemed to be struggling, not knowing how to answer.
"How about this one?"
He remained silent and didn't make a sound.
"I understand, it's this one on this side,"
Lin Ye chose the one on the right side.
"Let's go. Next time don't drop Strange Coins again."
Lin Ye's trio followed the passage on the right and disappeared around the corner ahead.
At this moment,
The staff member responsible for guiding let out a huge breath. "Almost wavered."
He looked at the Strange Coins in his hand. "For others, I could actually tell them the correct path, but not you! Sigh! The higher-ups have all issued instructions."
If Lin Ye hadn't played the organizer for a fool, they wouldn't have received instructions targeting Lin Ye either.
But since he played tricks, then he needed to accept the retaliation coming from them. They wanted to trip him up and affect the results Lin Ye could achieve.
A while later,
The staff member suddenly heard footsteps from the road on the right. He looked over curiously; it was Lin Ye, and the companions traveling together.
Why did they come back?
"Guests, you are..."
"I thought about it and still choose to take the road on the left."
"Eh!"
The staff member was astonished.
Why did you guys think of taking the road on the left?
"The right side is better."
"Yes! The right side is better, but I, this person, thought about it and believed I shouldn't do this. I cannot cheat. Therefore, I want to punish myself to walk the road on the left, to make up for the guilt in my heart. It can also be counted as expressing my respect for the fairness of the competition."
The staff member listened, dumbfounded.
Respect competition fairness?
There's such a thing?
Is your brain convulsing! How could there be such a thought?
He wanted to stop them, but didn't know how he should persuade Lin Ye and the others to return to the right-side passage.
"Sir, you completely do not need this self-blame and guilt. You should walk this road on the right to proceed to the destination and welcome victory."
The staff member persuaded, changing his previous style completely.
At least regarding just now, the staff member still maintained silence, yet now he actively spoke up.
"I have already decided. We're going."
Lin Ye walked toward the road on the left. Cold Frost gave the staff member an extra look. She knew that for Lin Ye to leave alone just now, he must have discovered something.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned temporarily to choose the road on the left side.
This staff member took the money yet didn't do human deeds.
She believed Lin Ye should take the money back. Otherwise, three Strange Coins exchanged for a choice that was almost wrong—anyone else would have their mentality explode.
Wait until the three walked far away, Erina Nakiri couldn't bear it anymore. "What did you discover? Did that staff member just deceive us?"
This was the only point the golden-haired Eldest Miss could think of. As for the pursuit of fairness and guilt Lin Ye spoke of, she didn't believe a single word.
"Correct, he tricked us."
"How did you tell?"
"When I returned, he was talking to himself."
Or rather, he used Time Stop to come to the staff member's side and used Invisibility to hide, waiting for the moment he relaxed his vigilance and exposed himself.
If he hadn't exposed himself, then he would either look at new players that might arrive, or return and continue advancing along the right road with Cold Frost, walking one path until it was dark.
But the fortunate thing was that the staff member exposed himself. It was just like what he thought in his vigilance caused by his worry; he had already been pulled into a blacklist by the organizer, and every staff member would specifically target him.
He felt that the first station proposing the sky-high water price of '10 Strange Coins a cup of water' was also deliberately targeting him.
"This kind of trash, accepted money yet unexpectedly gave wrong information. Damn it, what a huge loss."
Erina Nakiri felt heartache for those three Strange Coins.
"Took them back."
"Uh!"
"If he didn't lie to me, I would have given him the Strange Coins. But since he lied to me and didn't abide by the agreement, I naturally couldn't possibly give him the Strange Coins."
Lin Ye said with a smile.
He wasn't willing to suffer a loss. That staff member didn't speak the truth, so he naturally couldn't possibly give three Strange Coins.
One had to know that Strange Coins were hard currency in the Inner World.
He had always been fair and just. You treat me well, I treat you well, everyone is good together. But if you play tricks, then don't blame me for being ruthless.
"Really is no way to take even a bit of advantage from you."
Cold Frost laughed upon hearing this too.
Lin Ye didn't suffer a loss; her psychology was balanced a lot.
Three Strange Coins—this wasn't three yuan in reality that could be obtained casually.
Although Lin Ye now had three hundred and fifty Strange Coins, a quantity that was quite a lot, even so, it shouldn't be wasted. Three Strange Coins were all earned by Lin Ye braving huge life danger.
"Could it be Miss Cold hasn't taken advantage of me?"
Cold Frost thought for a bit, and thought of something. "We are companions, that fundamentally doesn't count as taking advantage."
"Haha, indeed so."
At this time, the three were in very good moods, and their steps were also much lighter.
And at the 1/2 point, the staff member continued to wait for the arrival of subsequent players.
Facing the players' inquiries, he answered randomly. Either left, or right; it all depended entirely on his mood at the time.
But what made him regretful was that no players used Strange Coins to bribe him.
"Sigh!"
"Humans who understand how to conduct themselves like that are truly very few."
"Pity, pity. Compared to others, that one human truly understands the ways of the world. Three Strange Coins ah!"
...
He subconsciously touched the bag storing Strange Coins.
But the bag was empty.
He didn't mind and continued to touch the other bag.
Still empty.
"Hmm?"
At this time, he became a bit anxious and started groping around. However, searching all the pockets on his body, he didn't find those three Strange Coins.
"Impossible, this is impossible..."
"How are the good Strange Coins gone?"
He searched all around. Since they weren't on his body, then it was extremely likely they were on the ground.
But searching the location within a ten-meter radius thoroughly, and even expanding to 20 meters, he still didn't find anything.
"This isn't right, this is impossible, clearly they were there!"
"Who, who stole away my Strange Coins."
Apart from someone stealing them, there was absolutely no other possibility.
He started to think one by one, and finally treated that man who had approached him to beg and inquire as the object of suspicion. Only that one man had physical contact with him.
"Damn it."
"Actually dared to steal my Strange Coins. Just wait."
He increasingly decided that Lin Ye was good! Lin Ye actively gave Strange Coins, while those people not only didn't give, but unexpectedly also stole.
Wait for him. Wait for the later project; he definitely would make that player pay the price.
...
And on the other side,
After running for merely ten minutes,
Lin Ye's trio discovered the front was densely covered with dark clouds.
"It's going to rain ahead."
In this moment,
All three realized that weather was also one of the assessments.
"Let's go! The road with rain won't be very long."
This should only be a difficulty of a phase; it was impossible to continue all the way to the finish line.
If the journey of the next dozen or so kilometers was really all rain-covered distance, this project could eliminate the vast majority of players.
A few minutes later,
The three entered into the rain curtain.
At this time,
Continuous drizzle.
The rain wasn't heavy, but the humid air caused an effect on all three.
The weight increase after clothes got wet was secondary; the physical sensation affected the state greatly. And the most crucial thing was that Lin Ye felt the weight of the items on the pushcart was slowly increasing.
He needed to consume more Stamina to push the pushcart.
Initially, he could have thought it was a sensory error caused purely by the rain, but now, Lin Ye could be certain this definitely wasn't.
Lin Ye stopped.
It had been three minutes since entering the rain curtain. He gazed at the two girls ahead.
"What's wrong?"
Cold Frost noticed Lin Ye stopped his steps. "I'll push!"
She turned and walked toward Lin Ye.
"Your guess was right. The weight of this bag is increasing now."
"Hmm?"
Cold Frost immediately walked over and lifted the bag. She felt the gunny sack's total weight and frowned slightly. "Increased by at least double."
It became heavier.
If not for this heavy object, their Stamina consumption wouldn't be this fast.
"Let me do it! You rest for a while first."
"No, better let me do it!"
"But..."
"I still have unused Free Attribute Points."
Cold Frost: ???
You still retained unused Free Attribute Points?
She was stunned.
Generally speaking, shouldn't attribute points be used as soon as possible to improve one's own physical quality? How were there still players who hadn't used them, deliberately keeping them?
"Going to add to Constitution?"
"Mn."
Just with his current condition, if he didn't increase Constitution, he feared he wouldn't be able to hold out either.
Lin Ye first added one point. The body's sense of fatigue reduced quite a bit, but he felt it wasn't enough, so he added another point, until he added a total of 3 points. Constitution reached 14. Only then did he feel his physical stamina had ample margin.
"Later if you feel tired, tell me. I'll take over."
Cold Frost was actually curious about how many attribute points Lin Ye added to Constitution.
The relationship between the two was okay now, but involving the sensitive topic of strength like attribute points, she still held back.
Wait until the relationship between the two progressed a step further in the future; if she had the thought to ask this kind of question again, there wouldn't be any scruples then, right!
Cold Frost remembered that player named 'Asuna'.
If it were Asuna, she should be able to ask casually, and it wouldn't arouse any vigilance or overthinking from Lin Ye either.
Don't know how Lin Ye and that player are doing now.
"Zero, did you find Asuna?"
From the start of this instance game until now, this was the first time Cold Frost asked Lin Ye a private topic.
This made the exhausted Erina Nakiri also have a touch more curiosity.
"Haven't found her, but I think it will be soon!"
"How about... I help?"
"No need, I already found someone to search. I appreciate Miss Cold's kindness."
Cold Frost nodded and didn't insist anymore.
The three bathed in the drizzle, walking forward step by step.
And a small group of players ahead attracted their attention. It was four players carrying a huge gunny sack, moving forward strenuously.
"It's that group of players who chose the largest gunny sack at the beginning."
At that time, that man was so high-spirited, and the three group members were also so happy. The them at that time had ruthlessly slapped the faces of the rest of the mocking players.
But now... their figures carrying the big gunny sack like dead dogs—if seen by those mocked players, they would fearfully be mocked vigorously too.
"Can't do it, really can't do it."
"Too heavy."
"Why did this gunny sack become so heavy now!"
"It was clearly so light before."
"Said enough already, this is all the rain's fault!"
"Why isn't this gunny sack waterproof? Ahhh, can't walk anymore, I'm not walking."
...
Plop...
A young lad sat on the ground giving up.
In the early stage, the gunny sack wasn't heavy, but just the walking brisk walk also consumed a large amount of Stamina and energy. Walking fifteen kilometers had already exceeded the daily endurance of average people.
And now, this heavy big gunny sack was severely consuming their not-much-remaining Stamina.
They could no longer see the end at a glance and had already birthed thoughts of giving up.
One person giving up.
The weight the remaining three shared skyrocketed, causing the big gunny sack to break away and fall to the ground in the next second, emitting a dull sound.
The other three weren't much better off.
Looking at this big gunny sack, they despaired.
"If only there was a car!"
"This thing, how is it possible to carry it out."
A few people complained; only in this way could the huge pressure in their hearts be alleviated.
"Hey hey, look... there's a car, Little Zhang,"
In an instant,
The other three looked back one after another and saw Lin Ye's trio appearing. Their attention was mostly on that pushcart of Lin Ye's.
"It's a car,"
"Really is a car,"
"Quick, go borrow it,"
"What if he doesn't lend it!"
"We have many people..."
But after seeing Lin Ye's face clearly, the four immediately changed their minds.
Many people? What did many people count as in front of this Veteran player Zero?
Not to mention the other party also had a Veteran player and a blond Eldest Miss newcomer. They were exhausted now and completely wouldn't be opponents.
The few people's lines of sight looked back and forth. Finally, a petite girl was pushed out.
Toward men, girls were always a bit better, not to mention this girl looked sweet, possessing quite the feeling of a girl next door. The two males in the team actually had some interest in her more or less, both thinking of seeking contact numbers after clearing the level, to develop further in the future real world.
But now, they also had no choice but to hope this girl they liked could strive for more benefits for them.
Competition failed, all thoughts were meaningless.
What they needed now was survival; other matters could be considered separately.
Not long after, after Lin Ye's trio continued advancing and approached, the petite cute girl took a deep breath and walked toward Lin Ye's trio.
Cold Frost stepped forward, scaring this girl so much her face changed color, and she subconsciously jumped a step.
But immediately, she realized she couldn't do this. She should step forward actively, couldn't be scared back.
"He-Hello to you guys!"
Cold Frost looked and spoke immediately, "What matter?"
Sending this petite girl over, Cold Frost saw through the other party's goal at a glance. But they didn't think about what level the girls beside Lin Ye were now. Not speaking of her, just Erina Nakiri, this blond Eldest Miss, was sufficiently sexy and charming.
How could Lin Ye be moved because of a petite girl!
"Um... we want to borrow the pushcart. The things inside our gunny sack, because of the rain, have now become abnormally heavy. We simply can't lift it."
How relaxed they were initially, was how tired they were now.
That gunny sack comparable to her height—before, she could carry it and walk one or two kilometers without any feeling.
Now, even ten of her might not necessarily be able to carry it.
But now, if they didn't solve this transportation problem and find a solution, their group would fearfully lose.
"Refused. We want to use it ourselves."
Cold Frost refused directly without even asking for Lin Ye's opinion. This kind of thing simply couldn't be agreed to; they hadn't reached the degree of sacrificing themselves for others.
This villain, just let her, Cold Frost, be it.
The petite girl became even weaker. She completely couldn't face Cold Frost. She turned her head to look toward her companions, but the few companions were encouraging her vigorously. Her eyes became even more miserable.
What was this called.
What to do?
"I can give you a plan,"
One sentence from Lin Ye instantly made the few people's eyes change.
"You, you speak, you speak. As long as we can do it, we will definitely help satisfy your request."
As long as they could borrow the pushcart, nothing was a problem.
"The things on our pushcart are also handed over to you to be responsible for. Speed cannot be slow; if slow, I can only express regret."
"I'll tell my teammates right away."
She immediately ran back and explained the situation.
Very quickly, the petite girl came in front of Lin Ye. "No problem, we have no problem. Thank you, Big Brother."
The load of pushing the cart forward was much, much lighter than them carrying the gunny sack heavy object forward now.
A while later,
The three people paralyzed on the ground carried the gunny sack to the pushcart's side and put the gunny sack onto the pushcart.
And this pushcart, adding this weight of items, still didn't have any changes and was very sturdy.
Lin Ye estimated this pushcart was specially made. This thing was for the convenience of players' use from the very beginning, only the organizer wouldn't remind proactively; it could only be discovered by players themselves.
"Brother Zero, thanks. Leave the rest to us."
Pushing was too much more energy-saving than lifting.
Two people pushed the pushcart on the left and right. The pushcart slowly accelerated to a constant speed.
Squelch, squelch...
Tires rolled past, water stains splashed.
But for the few people, this was the most relaxed moment after entering the rain curtain. If they lifted, they simply couldn't lift it out.
Ten minutes later,
The two male newcomer players pushing the cart began to pant, showing obvious fatigue.
"Change people."
The remaining one person replaced one of them.
They tried their best to maintain speed, not letting Lin Ye feel the advancing speed was very slow.
"When can we walk out of here,"
"It shouldn't be that afterwards is all rain zone, right!"
"Persevere,"
...
They gritted their teeth and persisted.
Lin Ye was very relaxed now. With the increase in Stamina and the heavy objects consuming Stamina being responsible by others now, his Stamina was recovering in an orderly manner.
"Here..."
Lin Ye handed over two pieces of Dazzle Chewing Gum.
This rain had a tiny bit of a problem.
It contained Strange aura, only the concentration wasn't very high.
"Brother Zero, this..."
Looking at the chewing gum before his eyes, the newcomer was overwhelmed by favor.
"Giving it to you, just take it and eat it. It has benefits for you."
Chewing gum also had benefits?
But thinking about it, Lin Ye wouldn't harm them. If Lin Ye really wanted to harm them, they simply couldn't stop it either.
"Thanks, many thanks."
The two people responsible for pushing the cart ate the chewing gum. In an instant, a touch of coolness and refreshing feeling impacted the whole body along the tongue.
The accumulated gloominess and irritability, and other negative emotions, disappeared by a large half. And the heavy body became much more relaxed. That nameless substance entangling in the heart that made people anxious and uncomfortable seemed to have also disappeared.
One word, that was refreshing.
Good stuff ah!
Too strong ah!
As expected of a Veteran player, good stuff is just plentiful.
Following the recovery of the two's mental states, and the partial disappearance of the Strange aura infecting the bodies, the two pushed even more vigorously.
About an hour later,
The crowd finally walked out of the rain curtain of this area.
Ahead, azure sky, bright sunshine.
The warm sunlight instantly dispelled the gloom and dampness of the players, making them only feel even more comfortable.
"Phew..."
"Finally came out."
At this moment,
A few newcomers sat down directly with a plop.
They held on by clenching their teeth tightly until the end.
Now that they walked out of the rain curtain zone, they finally sat down to rest and pant with relief.
"Exhausted to death,"
"Five minutes, no, we need to rest for at least ten minutes."
Lin Ye was actually okay. On the other hand, Erina Nakiri's face was a tiny bit pale; it looked like she received the influence of the rain, getting a tiny bit unwell.
"Rest for ten minutes then! I'll go find firewood, we'll warm up by a fire."
Although this sun was dazzling, it didn't reach the degree of immediately drying clothes.
Cold Frost moved together following Lin Ye. She didn't have big problems; although also exhausted, she hadn't reached the degree of being unable to move.
A few minutes later,
Lin Ye and Cold Frost fetched some firewood from nearby. After a burst of tossing about, they finally started a fire.
The heat released by the fire pile made people warm in body and mind even more.
"If only there were ingredients. Chicken, duck or something, could directly roast on the fire to eat."
Running for three continuous hours, the few people had a sense of hunger. But where was there food nearby?
None at all.
Food ah!
Thinking like this made them a bit hungry.
The first project was Rice Bucket; it provided food, but it was all raw food, and people liked eating cooked food more.
"If there was meat left until now, we could roast meat while warming by the fire."
The petite girl newcomer got greedy as she spoke.
Really want to eat ah!
She truly wanted to eat.
"Can't think, can't think..."
"Thinking any further and will really get hungry."
Thump thump thump...
Thump thump thump...
A burst of noise rang out.
Everyone's lines of sight immediately looked toward the direction of the pushcart.
Hmm?
"There's something?"
Lin Ye walked over slowly.
Thump thump thump...
The sound was still continuing.
Lin Ye lifted off the big gunny sack. That black bag underneath flew up with a thump.
"What thing?"
"Is there a living thing inside?"
...
The few newcomers were all startled.
Lin Ye's eyes swept over. Skill: Perspective activated, and he immediately saw the creature inside the bag.
Chicken.
A chicken, and its appearance was even a tiny bit ugly.
At the very beginning, it was still an egg. Now it directly hatched and turned into a chicken. Moreover, this size wasn't small either; it didn't look like it just hatched at all.
"What is it? Want to open and see?"
Lin Ye suddenly noticed Cold Frost's state wasn't very good, looking a bit weak and feeble.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing,"
"Tell the truth,"
"A bit hungry,"
Cold Frost said honestly, somewhat embarrassed. "Maybe I ate relatively little before coming. Before in the first round, I didn't eat much either."
She and Erina Nakiri basically didn't eat.
"Mn."
Lin Ye untied the black bag. A strange-looking chicken immediately darted out. Lin Ye grabbed it in one handful.
"Chicken, why is there a chicken in your bag, Brother Zero?"
Lin Ye quickly took out the eggshell fragments inside.
At this time, everyone understood the reason.
"Walking all this way, an egg could hatch into a chicken. This luck..."
Same as the newcomer's thought, Erina Nakiri also had the same thought.
But compared to being shocked at the egg hatching into a chicken, she cared more about her increasingly powerless body and empty stomach.
So hungry.
Really so hungry.
Want to eat anything.
Clearly, the state before was still okay, just fatigue, that's all. Why was there suddenly such a strong desire to eat now?
But Cold Frost didn't think so.
Lin Ye didn't think so either.
"Not a coincidence,"
"Before entering the rain curtain, the pushcart's load didn't change much. But entering the rain curtain zone, the weight was constantly increasing,"
Lin Ye and Cold Frost exchanged a glance.
"A certain factor existed in the rain curtain zone causing the egg to hatch into a chicken,"
Moreover, looking carefully, this chicken's body size was still slowly increasing.
"Got big, got a bit bigger again,"
"Re-Really ah!"
...
Sharp-eyed people confirmed they didn't see wrong; this chicken was indeed getting bigger.
"How to bring this to the finish line."
"Dead or alive doesn't matter,"
Cold Frost spoke and drew her sword at the same time. Only just taking a step out, her whole person fell straight down as if losing strength. It was Lin Ye who supported the girl with quick eyes and quick hands.
"So-Sorry..."
She apologized.
"You rest first,"
Lin Ye looked at that chicken stepped on under his foot.
"Miss Nakiri, do you also feel very hungry, extremely hungry, want to eat things now?"
The blond Eldest Miss gave a 'mn' sound.
"One to ten as the degree of desire, how much are you?"
"Eight, no, nine..."
"Miss Cold, what about you!"
"Seven, eight, looks like!"
This value was considered to have reached a degree difficult to endure.
"What about you four!"
The four newcomers thought for a bit and all gave a number, but the highest was just 4.
What was the difference between the two sides?
If it was a group problem, then Lin Ye should also be the same as Cold Frost and the other girl.
"Did you four all eat food in the first round's Rice Bucket?"
"Mn, all ate. We four all ate."
Lin Ye had a guess.
"Whether one ate raw food in the first round affects the physical stamina consumption situation in the second round."
Cold Frost and Erina Nakiri, who hadn't eaten things, could now be said to be in a weak state. Not to mention walking, they feared they were about to have no strength to even get up.
Cold Frost and Erina Nakiri were stunned, but felt this explanation of Lin Ye's was also within a reasonable range.
But what to do now?
They didn't have food either.
"Be at ease, isn't there a chicken here?"
One sentence made the whole venue stunned.
"Zero, Brother Zero, this ingredient needs to be sent to the finish line."
"First, you guys might not have noticed, but I remember very clearly. The host expressed 'send the bag to the destination thirty kilometers away'. The bag needs to arrive, but whether the items inside the bag need to arrive, wasn't explicitly expressed."
Lin Ye didn't decisively give up the items inside because of this before, because the weight wasn't heavy, and the effect on the group's walking speed was within an acceptable range.
But now,
The situation changed.
He naturally had to try too.
The Strange instance had always required chewing words. This time, I fear, won't be an exception either.
...
