"OK, we're in."

A beam of light lit up in the darkness, revealing the faces of Scott and several little guys.

"WOW, this place is a maze."

Scott moved the flashlight to look at the surrounding furnishings. This was a bottomless "tunnel". There were two forked roads where the flashlight could reach.

"Okay, it's time to make a decision. Bring me the map."

"For you, Daddy."

The little girl handed Scott a piece of drawing paper. She was Scott's daughter, Cathy.

"Well... why bother? I'm very fast and can finish the whole maze in 5 minutes." A soft and misty voice sounded behind the two of them. The girl said to her friend on the right: "This place is really suitable for sleeping. It's quiet and dark. Ah, I'm sleepy again... Let's finish it quickly."

"That's not good. That would lose the fun of surprise and exploration."

The other's voice was gentle and clear, like a warm breeze blowing gently.

"To give an analogy, it's like you bought a big, beautiful and sweet-looking candy, but you kindly gave it a bath. The delicious taste of the candy remains in your mind, but you can never eat it with your mouth. The empty feeling in your heart is the feeling of loss."

The sleepy girl rubbed her eyes and sighed helplessly: "But we just had breakfast, I'm not hungry at all now."

"Ah, is it because the example I gave is too profound? It seems that your focus is a bit off."

Hee hee.....hee hee.....

(The liquid in the straw makes a faint inhalation sound as it moves between the lips and tongue)

The sounds of the girls talking and drinking were particularly obvious in the dark and quiet space. Scott and Casey looked at each other, turned their heads and looked behind them, and they raised their index fingers to their lips.

"Shh..."

"Shh..."

Casey put down his fingers and lowered his voice: "Zaoyou, do you feel sleepy? Well, you come to my position, and now you will be the leader. The important task of exploring the way for our adventurers will be handed over to you."

Cathy stuffed the map in her hand into Zaoyou's hand and moved her knees back to the girl's side. She pushed Zaoyou to signal her to move forward, and said enthusiastically, "With me behind you to remind you, you won't want to sleep all the time."

"It's not good for children to sleep too much. It will affect the development of their brains. This is what Daddy told me."

Scott, who was betrayed by his own daughter, immediately put on the appearance of an experienced adult: "Ah? Yes, that's right."

"The best sleep time for children should not exceed twelve hours. More or less is not good."

He patted Zaoyou's shoulder and said earnestly, "You are at the age when you are growing up. You should pay attention to your regular schedule and healthy diet."

"And Nashida is right. The greatest pleasure of exploring a maze lies in the unknown and surprises along the way. We have just reached the exciting part and we can't give up halfway."

Scott gave Nashida an approving look, then stretched out his hand behind her:

"I feel a little thirsty, Chief of Logistics, I would like to request an energy supply from you."

The person, whose entire body was hidden in darkness, slowly stretched out a cold little hand, which was holding a paper can with a straw stuck in it.

"Thank you."

Scott took it.

He put the straw in his mouth and took a long sip.

Next second

Puff! Cough cough cough!!!

The drink gushed out of his mouth, splashing all over his clothes.

“Daddy!!”

Casey stood in front of Nashida and endured his father's "fountain attack" alone.

"Bah, bah, bah"

She threw herself at Scott and smeared all the liquid on her face and head on her father's white shirt.

"Sorry Casey, I didn't mean it."

Scott apologized hoarsely.

"It's the taste of this drink. Ugh... it's out of this world."

Shining the flashlight on the beverage packaging, Scott could see the words clearly:

[Stark Beverage & Wanmintang launch new product together - coconut milk soy milk]

Scott: Timmy, this is a drink that people can drink?

Hee hee.....hee hee.....

Scott raised the flashlight and saw the logistics director, Qiqi, drinking a coconut milk and soy milk drink with his cheeks bulging.

There was an innocent look in the clear purple eyes.

[Did I feel it wrong just now? It’s not that bad to drink? ]

Scott didn't believe it, so he took another sip of his drink.

vomit.

vomit.

“Daddy!!”

Cathy, who had just wiped her face, gave him a look of disgust.

"Ok, ok, let's get down to business."

Scott put down his drink and refocused his attention on the 'maze' ahead.

"Everyone be careful, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If you hesitate or get scared, we will be dead."

Casey was very excited: "We are ready."

Nashida also echoed enthusiastically: "Lead the way, Mr. Scott."

Qiqi: "Burp...I'm full..."

Zaoyou: Zzzz....

"Great, let's go."

Holding the leader Zaoyou who had fallen asleep in one hand, Scott led the little ones to crawl left and right in the "maze".

Finally, they came to a door.

"Okay, this is the end of the maze and where the treasure is."

“Right way, right time, right place.”

Scott put down the pomelo and said to the children carefully: "Only when you find the correct answer to the question can you open the door. If you get it wrong, the treasure behind the door will be destroyed."

Cathy nodded and read out the riddle word by word: "Square like a cake, sprinkled with pepper and sesame seeds;"

"The more you eat, the smarter your brain will become."

???

After thinking for a long time, Cathy still couldn't figure out the answer, so she had to ask Nashida, the smartest member of the team, for help.

"I can't think of it, Narcida, you know?"

Nashida put her finger on her chin and thought for a moment: "It should be a book."

"Kathy, look, the words on the book are densely packed, big and small, like pepper and sesame seeds, and after reading a book in your mouth, you will become smarter, right?"

"Ah! Yes! That's right, the answer is books!"

Cathy happily ran to the door and pushed hard on a raised image on the door that looked like a book.

Click, the door opened.

Several people finally found the legendary treasure.

"What is this? Ah! How come the treasure is..."

"A box of coconut milk soy milk??!"

Cathy held up the drinks box with a puzzled look on her face.

"Qiqi, why did you put this in here as if it were a treasure?"

Facing Cathy's question, Qiqi answered slowly and seriously: "But... this is... the newest coconut milk."

"There are so many people outside... they are lining up... but they can't buy anything."

"It's a very precious treasure."

Qiqi nodded heavily: "Yes."

Casey: “….”

"All right."

She opened the package doubtfully and inserted the straw.

Scott was horrified and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"and many more!"

"puff--"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Cathy's face flushed red, and she opened her mouth wide and retched twice: "Cough cough cough."

"This milk is poisonous!"

Scott, who was sprayed in the face by Casey: .....

"Kids, did you have fun?"

The ceiling of the cardboard maze was opened, revealing Potts's face, and she waved to Scott.

"Mr. Scott, how many minutes can I take?"
