Xiaoxin’s face was tiny and tensely creased, particularly serious.

In truth, he was also not sure in his heart, but now he could not find the same type of bow tie, whether this plan could truly work, he had no certainties at all.

Yan Qingwen pondered for a moment, then said: “Let’s do this, we’ll search again, if we still can’t find a bear wearing a red bow tie, nor can we find this type of red bow tie, we’ll attempt Xiaoxin’s method.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Bai Youwei said: “The method to clear this stage should have a unique characteristic. If we can draw black dots on the red bow tie with a black pen to make it work, then wouldn’t a homemade bow tie cut from a red fabric also work? While you are searching, you could concurrently look for fabrics of the same color; for instance, red furniture covers or red doll clothes.”

“There should be quite a few, I saw several fluffy dolls wearing red earlier.” Lun Ang stated.

Even Teacher Cheng chimed in: “I think I’ve seen similar fabrics in the kitchen.”

Once again, everyone spread out to search, but after a circuit of searching, they still gained nothing.

Though in their memories an abundance of dolls with bow ties and red clothes existed, upon actual search they found that either the color pattern was incorrect, or the fabric was wrong.

Some red was too deep, some red was too pale; some red was purplish, some red was orangey; and some were the correct red but had chequered patterns.

Then there was also the problem with fabric. For example, silk and velvet have completely different textures. Even if you were to cut them out and make them into bow ties, the shapes would be very different.

Everyone regrouped in the downstairs dining room, where there were two bears set on the dining table.

As well as a sewing kit.

Yan Qingwen said: “It appears this method complies with the characteristic of uniqueness, we may try it. Who is good at handicrafts here?”

We need to remove the bow tie from the monkey’s tail, draw black dots of similar size onto it, and finally stitch it neatly in place on the small bear’s collar.

This is something that most men cannot do.

Zhu Shu looked at everyone, ”  If none of you are confident, I can give it a try.”

Li Li asked: “Zhu Shu, do you know how to sew?”

Zhu Shu: “I can manage to sew things together simply, but I am not able to do anything more complicated.”

After she finished speaking she smiled lightly, “Don’t speculate from my current state, but when I was studying, I used to score really well in handicraft.”

Everyone had no objections.

Zhu Shu took the scissors, attentively detached the bow tie from the monkey’s tail, then compared it to the other bear, and slowly drew black dots

There was just this one red bow tie in the entire room, so she couldn’t make a single error as it would result in wasted efforts.

Before anyone realized, Zhu Shu’s forehead was dotted with fine sweat, and her hand was a bit shaky.

After thinking for a bit, Yan Qingwen said softly: “We shouldn’t all crowd here, let’s disperse, and let her do it slowly by herself.”

Zhu Shu was slightly startled, then gratefully smiled at Yan Qingwen.

Everyone else also realized belatedly that sticking around here wouldn’t help, and would only make Zhu Shu more nervous.

However, the room was so small that there was nowhere to hide. Some people went upstairs to see if they could find any additional clues related to summer or autumn.

Having already combed through the areas that could be searched, Shen Mo did not think another search would make any difference.

He stayed on the first floor, pulled up a chair, and sat down next to Bai Youwei to rest.

Yan Qingwen also came over, stood by the window, and looked outside at the mother bear waiting quietly.

“A two-and-a-half-story building, a complete search should take no more than two hours, but the time set by the game system is a full 8 hours. Even after finding the correct item, we must wait for these 8 hours to pass before we can proceed into the next season  What do you think is the reason for this?”

“To make us more restless ” Shen Mo said lightly, “To create more doubt and uncertainty.”
