Sihwa was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zian’s perfunctory attitude. She simply withdrew her hand and let him swim by himself. Anyway, he would not drown to death at least for the time being.

“Also, since you knew that you could swim out from the tangent direction, why didn’t you say so earlier?” She asked aggressively,”are you trying to embarrass a beautiful girl like me?”

Zhang Zian had to clarify this issue.

When people were in danger, their first reaction was always to act according to their instincts. If you fell into the vortex, your first reaction would be to swim away from the center of the vortex. Everyone would do that. Even if a physicist fell into the vortex, his first reaction would be the same, provided that the physicist knew how to swim and not drown.

Zhang Zian was no exception. When he suddenly realized that he was trapped in the vortex, he was also in a panic. All he could think about was to escape in the opposite direction, the faster the better.

As they were in a deadlock with the suction of the whirlpool, he felt that they could not continue like this. They would definitely die. As the saying goes,”a man is quick-witted, and a dog jumps over the wall in desperation.” He didn’t want to die Here for no reason, so he could only find a way to escape.

He used to like playing games, whether it was a single-player game on the computer or an online game. Therefore, he tried to think from the perspective of a game designer.

Was this Festival challenge designed to make things difficult for players?

Perhaps it was.

However, as a game designer, if no one could clear the level, it was a failed design. It was like designing a mathematics question for the college entrance examination. If no one China could solve it, the question would be a failure. It would be meaningless and would not play the screening role it should have.

As the first challenge, the Moonsea vortex might be difficult, but it was not unsolvable. If the Challenger was doomed to die, wouldn’t the rest of the challenges be in vain?

Did the designer of this game look that stupid?

That was impossible!

There were four obstacles, and each one didn’t need to be so difficult that it was unsolvable. As long as 90% of the people were filtered out in each obstacle, the probability of clearing the challenge would only be 0.1*0.1*0.1*0.1= one in 10000, which was in line with the S-level challenge.

Let’s take the mathematics questions of the college entrance examination as an example. Every question can be solved, but among the tens of millions of college entrance examination applicants every year, how many of them can get a full score? Therefore, there was no need to design a difficult problem that had no solution.

After thinking about this, Zhang Zian’s mood became a little calmer.

His confidence came from the belief that there must be a way to escape this Whirlpool! It was definitely not certain death! Otherwise, this would be a failed challenge! It was not his failure, but the failure of the game designer!

After he calmed down, he pulled Sihwa along and swam desperately. He also had to carefully observe the water’s flow, and he displayed his level and ability beyond normal.

He saw many strange-looking fish being sucked into the whirlpool, but occasionally a few fish struggled at the edge of the whirlpool because they happened to choose the right direction while they were struggling.

Why would he be able to struggle a little more if he swam in that direction?

Middle school physics knowledge suddenly poured into his mind, and his mind instantly became clear.

Don’t think of this terrifying vortex as a vortex. It was just a circular trajectory. It was like a person quickly swinging a rope tied to a stone. The two of them were like ants lying on a stone.

If one wanted to escape from the rock, one had to rely on ‘momentum’. Momentum was the centrifugal force.

This was just to apply what he had learned. It was easy to say, but to come up with an answer in this situation of life and death was the most difficult.

This led to what happened later.

Sihwa was still confused, but she could comfort herself that she had never studied physics. When she returned to the Pet Shop in the future, she would definitely ask him to make up for this lesson so that she could show off in front of the netizens.

Zhang Zian simply explained that it was not the time to explain these things in detail. They had to find a way to find land and go ashore first, or the two of them would become fish shit sooner or later.

The sea was vast, where could he go?

This wasn’t earth at all, and the geographical knowledge on earth was almost useless here. Danger was everywhere in the sea, and one wrong step would either feed the fish or fall into the whirlpool without a corpse.

Sihwa had a strong sense of déjà vu about the current situation. It was as if she had returned to her dream of being a machine. The whole world was drowned by the sea, and she could only helplessly go with the flow.

Near the whirlpool, the sea was relatively calm and there were no huge waves.

Zhang Zian took out his old phone, unlocked it, released Richard, and put it into the playback water bag.

“Gah?”

Every time Richard appeared, it would almost fall to the ground, but this time, he held it up so that its feathers would not touch the seawater, or it would not be able to fly.

“You idiot, why are you so kind today?” Richard stood on his palm and combed his feathers, looking at the strange sea uneasily.”Where the hell have you brought me? It’s so grey, I almost thought I was color blind. ”

There was no time to joke, so Zhang Zian briefly explained the current situation to Richard.

“Gah? So dangerous? I’m going back to my phone, let me go back!” Seeing that most of the elves were not around, Richard was immediately scared.

Zhang Zian glared at it. “You think I want you to come out? There’s one thing that you must do now. ”

“Kaka! I can’t believe you have a time to ask me for help … What is it?”

Richard’s role in the team had always been to relieve boredom. Although it would be boring without it, it did not affect the result of the operation. Richard knew this very well. There were many masters in the team, and it was at the bottom, only higher than Zhang Zian, so it was very surprised.

Zhang Zian explained,”you also know that our drone crashed in the mahogany forest. Now, someone must fly in the air to give Sihwa and me a warning. So, you can temporarily be our drone … Okay.”

“Will you die if you don’t tell me? I’m a Jiao, not a chicken!” Richard flapped its wings, trying to hit him, but it could not reach him. Usually, it would be easy for it to hit him while standing on his shoulder, but now it was held in his palm, and it was too far for him to reach.

Zhang Zian didn’t want to make any more noise with it. He raised his palm and threw it into the air.

“Gah! You heartless … Huh?”

Richard was about to transform into a bomber and start the bombardment of bird poop, but he suddenly felt refreshed, as if his conception and Governor vessels had been opened.

It had never experienced such an easy and pleasant flight. Its body seemed to have lost its weight, and it flapped its wings effortlessly. Every time it flapped its wings, it could fly a long distance or increase its height by a lot.

It even felt that it could fly out of the atmosphere and into the boundless universe.

It was like Nekhbet, the God of Falcon in Egypt mythology.
