Chapter 183 What did Zhang Wuji's mother say again?
"Really? I don't need to come up with any other names as options? Take a look at these..." Wang Defa blinked, then deleted the original text on his phone and typed a new line.
He held up his phone and continued showing it to Li Can.
Why are you so sure? Is she your younger sister?
When Li Can's eyes swept over this row, her heart skipped a beat.
Old Wang's casual guess directly revealed the truth about the network of relationships.
His expression remained unchanged, and he did not answer for the time being. Then, Old Wang typed a new message.
The next second, Li Can saw his words and was speechless.
Old Wang is still the same Old Wang.
He had clearly come across the correct answer, but he insisted on denying it himself and ended up getting a zero.
[I'm telling you, kid, don't let yourself be tempted by beauty. What did Zhang Wuji's mother say again? Beautiful women are the best at deceiving people.]
But you don't seem like that kind of person...
[Li Lan does indeed exude a sense of righteousness; she's one of the few beautiful women in our base who managed to survive the apocalypse on her own.]
[He's also very smart.]
Li Can pretended to think as she chose from several group names.
Finally, he pointed to a sentence on the screen, "What did Zhang Wuji's mother say again?" This would be a good group name.
Wang Defa: "..."
"I still think the original first version was better."
"What? The Blue Star Defense Alliance?" Li Lan suddenly interjected quietly.
She had been busy on her phone, drawing something on a drawing app, and after a while she was silent, she suddenly looked up and said, "I think it's great. The apocalypse needs someone like you, a role model in another world."
"It can also bring some hope to other survivors outside, which can be considered as a kind of spiritual support."
"Take a look at my design for the private dialogue, what do you think?"
Li Lan showed the simple pattern drawn on the screen: one side was a screenshot of text from a normal chat dialog box, and the other side was a white paper with a transparent cutout effect.
She pointed to the second picture, making a picking-up motion, and aligned it with the first screenshot.
"According to the ancient custom of secret correspondence, we can set up a format and select a key word in the middle of each sentence in a certain order."
"By connecting the dots, we arrive at the real meaning we're trying to convey amidst the seemingly trivialities."
Wang Defa was so shocked by the smooth and effortless execution of this operation that he completely forgot his earlier doubts and was easily convinced.
"Wow, you can do that? How mysterious."
Looking at his younger sister's design and arrangements, Li Can felt a surge of pride and joy, like a daughter growing up in her own right.
Although Lao Wang almost guessed the correct answer about their relationship in a daze, he ultimately denied it himself.
But he was right about one thing: she was very smart.
Wang Defa: "Then what kind of paper do we use to stick on the phone screen to type? How small does the paper have to be? What if the font size and format of the phone are different, and the spacing doesn't match?"
Li Lan shook his head. "I was just giving you an example to make it easier for you to understand. We don't actually need it to be that complicated."
"Oh, how do I do that?"
"Just remember a string of numbers that you agree on, then use the order of each sentence as the key to determine the position, and finally link these words together."
Wang Defa: "I have to memorize that! The latest chapter is about to explode with plot developments! I'm following it closely. I'm afraid I'll forget..."
A brief silence fell over the group. Li Can slowly spoke up: "How about 3.1415926... Even a longer sentence would be enough to analyze it, and it's easy to remember. Old Wang, if you really can't remember what it is, just go look up pi yourself."
"Peach Blossom, who are you insulting? I have enough education to back it up. You can completely trust me, Wang Defa."
Li Lan stepped forward to conclude the meeting's discussions.
"Okay, then the most crucial communication issue is resolved. From now on, everyone should try to communicate in the group that Peach Blossom created."
"To avoid wasting time and effort, if we want to convey key information, please add a fixed closing word or phrase as a marker in the text."
Other casual conversations avoided this keyword.
"Personally, I think the least noticeable and most easily overlooked word is '了' (le), which doesn't seem out of place in any sentence."
Wang Defa nodded admiringly, "Okay, no problem."
Li Can also believed that this was the best option at present and did not raise any objections.
Thus, the first joint discussion among the three resulted in a unanimous vote.
"Then what about my side..." Old Wang circled back to himself. He really didn't want to go back and face those hypocrites; the thought of it gave him a headache.
Li Can had already thought of a solution for him. Looking very seriously into his eyes, she patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Wang, have you ever been a scumbag?"
"What time is it? I'm still a scumbag. Peach Blossom, can't you be serious for once?"
Li Can looked at Wang Defa's messy hair and dusty face, which were completely different from his appearance when they first met outside the Happy Amusement Park.
"I mean, I'll teach you how to treat them."
"Just be a scumbag: neither take the initiative nor reject anyone."
"If a fake person issues a task, just accept it obediently. If they don't issue a task, you don't need to worry about doing anything. Just lie down and relax."
"As long as you remain steadfast in your belief that your family is not under their control, that you are free, and that this is all a scam."
"Think about it, they don't have any extraordinary abilities. At least so far, they haven't done anything to threaten your life."
Wang Defa rubbed his face, and his entire face relaxed.
"Yeah... So how am I going to explain what happened in the dungeon when I get back this time...?"
Li Can and Li Lan exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.
Li Can then continued, "Only Li Lan and I know about your theft of the corpse; she won't betray you."
"Zhou Ye, on the other hand, was kept in the dark by my diversion throughout the entire process and posed no threat whatsoever."
"As for the three college students who dug the earth and built the underground wall with you, they are completely unaware of the inside story," Li Can said, switching between the main and secondary perspectives in front of his eyes.
The three of them, under the watchful eyes of vultures, were bound hand and foot in a distant field. Because so much time had passed, they were now all drowsy.
"Great wisdom appears as foolishness, and foolishness appears as great wisdom; this is your best camouflage."
"You only need to upgrade your current level slightly, and that will be enough to deal with those fakes."
"Who would kill a lackey who tries very hard but is too clumsy and accidentally messes things up—or rather, neither messes them up nor does he do them well?"
"It's just a slight drag on the team... It's not a big problem."
"I have eliminated all dangers for the players in this instance, so you can rest assured."
After hearing this, Old Wang's expression changed to one of "You can do that?"
