Chapter 41: Club Recruitment (XVIII)
Most importantly, what is the relationship between these channels, time differences, and school newspapers?
They finally have to find the school newspaper for the right month!
Ye Sui said: "Fu Xiaoju and I are almost ready, and we will be able to take the test soon."
Mu Yu was surprised: "So fast?"
Ye Sui nodded and said, "It will be quick once we know the solution."
"Okay," Mu Yu solemnly warned, "Then be careful."
They were getting closer and closer to the end of the copy, so it was time to speed up.
Watching Ye Sui and Fu Xiaoju return to classroom 203 to make final preparations, Mu Yu pondered: "It is almost certain that classrooms 202 and 204 are connected. If we can also figure out which classrooms 203 and 205 are connected, I wonder if we can directly find the monster generator."
If they could, they might not have to set up a new club and go to classroom 202 to prepare for club assessments.
At this point, he asked Lu Zhongnian and Jiang Shuyue: "Do you have any idea how to solve the assessment for the two of you?"
Jiang Shuyue sighed: "Lu Chongnian and I discussed it, and we feel that our group will probably have to have two people survive the test, and both of them will have to regain consciousness in the illusion, in order to be considered to have passed the test."
He and Wang Haiyang failed the previous round of assessment, probably because he was the only one who woke up alive from the illusion.
And the reason he was able to wake up alive was because he was shocked by Wang Haiyang’s horrifying death scene!
If it weren't for this factor, he would probably keep eating until his stomach burst and he would die of blood loss and exhaustion.
From this perspective, "death" has become the key factor in awakening players in this assessment.
No matter which poem they change to, the copy will most likely be able to turn the poem into a murderous illusion.
Among the people in the same group taking the test, at least one person must die before the other one has a chance to wake up.
But if that's the case, their group will never be able to pass the level, because they simply can't keep two people alive at the same time!
Mu Yu frowned when he heard this: "What should we do then?"
Isn't this a vicious circle? Is classroom 205 really unbreakable?
Lu Zhongnian said at this time: "You can find a tutor."
Mu Yu was stunned.
...He remembered that there was a column on the club application form: "Do you need a mentor?"
but--
Lu Zhongnian said slowly, "The club corresponding to classroom 205 may not be able to find a way to pass the test. Once a player enters the test without any clue, he will immediately fall into an illusion and lose consciousness until he or his companions die. So you must figure out the secret to passing the test before going upstairs."
And I'm afraid only the "instructor" knows this secret.
But there is no free lunch in the world.
If they want to get the secret to pass the level from the monsters, they will have to pay a corresponding price. Is that a price they can afford?
Mu Yu thought seriously and said, "Then your team should wait for a while until Ye Sui and the others pass the assessment and then see what happens. We should try to understand what these channels and time differences mean before deciding on the next course of action."
After the discussion, everyone returned to their respective classrooms.
The school newspaper was divided into two parts, one part was with Lu Zhongnian and his team, and the other part was with Mu Yu and his team.
Mu Yu spread out four school newspapers on the ground and scanned them attentively, trying to find some clues from them.
School newspaper, channel, time difference...
What is the connection between these three?
Mu Yu first thought of "channel".
The passage is just a passage. There are no monsters or mechanisms in it. On the surface, its only function is to allow players to pass through it.
But what if it has other uses?
What would that be?
Mu Yu drew a spatial relationship diagram of the three classrooms 201, 204 and 202 in his mind.
No matter which corner the small door of each classroom is located in, the three classrooms are eventually connected in a vertical straight line.
So will classrooms 203 and 205 also be on this straight line in the end?
If this is true, then——
There is no upward passage in classroom 201, so this classroom is obviously the starting point of this line.
Classroom 202 is located third on the straight line and obviously cannot be the end point.
Then 203 and 205 can obviously only be at the lower end of this straight line.
But if this is really a straight line, what is the meaning of this straight line?
Mu Yu's eyes flickered slightly.
Or, could it be that 203 and 205 are not on this straight line at all?
They may still be connected to the other three classrooms, but a new line segment has been opened... ?
But the question remains, if this is true, what is the point of such fancy connections?
Mu Yu thought about it, then stood up and walked towards the small door in the corner again.
Bird Brother and Yu Hui were thinking hard together at this moment, and asked, "Ayu, do you want to go down again?"
"No, just take a look."
The small door is now closed.
Seeing this, Mu Yu subconsciously asked, "Brother Bird, did you close this door?"
"Ah?" Bird Brother looked over and said in confusion, "No, I didn't turn it off...it turned off by itself, right?"
Mu Yu recalled that the small door of Li Ke's classroom seemed to be the same.
When he came out of the passage, the small door was still open. Later, they chatted for a while, and when he looked over there again, the small door had closed automatically.
A thought suddenly flashed through Mu Yu's mind.
He knelt down on one knee, put his hand on the wicket and tried to push it.
This time, no matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't open!
Noticing something strange here, Bird Brother and Yu Hui came over and asked, "What's going on? The door won't open?"
Mu Yu was thinking quickly: "This door can probably only be opened once."
After saying that, he stood up, ran out and knocked on the door of classroom 204.
When Li Ke opened the door, he asked, "Senior, could you please check those two small doors to see if they can still be opened?"
Li Ke didn't understand why, but he cooperated.
He turned around to check, and found that the two small doors were just like the small door in classroom 201 - neither of them could be opened!
"Why is this happening?" Yu Hui was puzzled. "What if we form a club that matches the attributes of a classroom and go through the assessment? Will we not be able to open these small doors when we come back?"
"It's most likely like this. If the copy is determined to only give these channels a one-way opening opportunity, then there won't be any bugs left for us to exploit." Mu Yu said.
Yu Hui was still puzzled: "But if these channels can only be used once, then the copy only gives us one chance to visit each other?"
What difference does it make whether you give this opportunity or not?
People visit friends and relatives to discuss things, not to check in at tourist attractions and just to "visit the place".
Mu Yu turned around at this moment, and said with shining eyes:
"——What if the role of 'visiting' is just a trick imposed by the dungeon on these channels, and the actual purpose of these channels is not to allow players to visit each other?"
Niao Ge, Yu Hui and Li Ke were all stunned.

9:18, Ye Sui and Fu Xiaoju came down!
They passed the test!
This time, they once again entered the illusion as soon as they stepped into the community union office and stood in front of the "X City Stray Animal Protection Base".
But because both of them had completed half-beast transformation, the animals, although hostile when they saw them, would not pounce on them immediately.
They followed behind them, staring at them the whole time.
As time went by, they became more suspicious and more aggressive.
Ye Sui had anticipated this, and half-beast transformation was not a 100% safe method, so he and Fu Xiaoju acted separately at the beginning, trying to shorten the mission time as much as possible.
Finally, before all the animals went crazy, they completed all their tasks and got out safely!
The two returned to classroom 203 and opened the two small doors.
The first door to open was the small door on the ceiling.
The passage behind this door goes straight upwards, and there are no props that can help them reach the other end, but Mu Yu thought of a way.
He asked the dexterous Li Ke to make a simple slingshot using the existing materials.
Then borrow the ladder from classroom 204, and put both ladders here.
Ye Sui and Fu Xiaoju had to sit on top of one ladder each and try their best to support the other ladder with their shoulders and push it into the passage.
The other climbed down two ladders into the depths of the passage.
The operation was extremely difficult, so Fu Xiaoju and Ye Sui discussed it and decided that since Ye Sui was lighter, he would be the one climbing the ladder and Fu Xiaoju would be the one carrying the ladder.
The two of them fiddled with it for a long time before Ye Sui officially entered the passage.
Fu Xiaoju was pushing the ladder from below until his entire body turned red, and he was using all his might.
Ye Sui went deeper and climbed to the end of the ladder. He took out a slingshot and small pieces of wood that served as marbles and shot into the deeper darkness.
Mu Yu, Lu Chongnian and Bird Brother watched from outside the classroom.
After waiting for a while, Mu Yu couldn't help but shout, "Can you cum?"
Ye Sui in the passage did not respond.
Another half minute later, he shouted back, "I shot it."
During this process, Yu Hui, Jiang Shuyue and Li Ke always stayed in classrooms 201, 205 and 204.
Mu Yu and Niao Ge immediately turned to knock on the doors. Among the three, Jiang Shuyue said, "I just heard a sound!"
——The passage above classroom 203 is connected to 205!
Ye Sui climbed down.
In order to test the opening and closing conditions of the small door, he took a roll of tape from Fu Xiaoju, kept the small door on the ceiling open, and stuck it to the wall, to see if it could still be closed.
After both of them came down, they immediately turned to study the door on the floor.
As soon as the door opened, they discovered something different!
——This underground passage is not straight!
It appears as a ramp, and it's a slope going to the left!
Brother Bird took the four-meter-long cloth rope and gave it to Fu Xiaoju.
Fu Xiaoju grabbed one end of the cloth rope, and Ye Sui grabbed the other end. They slid down to the bottom of the cloth rope smoothly like a slide, and then threw a piece of wood down with a thud.
This time, the three people who stayed in the other three classrooms shook their heads and said they didn't hear any sound.
The passage below is most likely connected to the currently empty classroom 202.
The clues became more substantial, and Mu Yu and Lu Chongnian spread out the eight school newspapers in the corridor again.
At this moment, the small door on the ceiling of Ye Sui's classroom suddenly turned into a phantom, penetrated the tape, and closed the passage in the blink of an eye with a "click".
Mu Yu took a look and said, "It seems that human intervention is not an option. When the time comes, these small doors must be closed."
If the player stays in the passage, he will be trapped inside, unless the door at the other end of the passage can be opened.
But it doesn’t matter, we can ignore this matter for now.
He drew a diagram of the spatial relationships of the few classrooms that he could identify on a piece of white paper.
First of all, there are still 201-204-202. These three classrooms are in a vertical line.
Then, in the blank space to the right of this vertical line, he first wrote 205, and then drew another vertical line downwards, with the other end of the line being 203.
Finally, he connected 203 and 202 online.
Because classroom 203 is high and classroom 202 is low, this line becomes a diagonal line.
——A diagonal line sloping from 203 to the lower left to 202.
When the whole picture came out, everyone compared it with the eight school newspapers and immediately discovered that—
This is clearly the layout distribution of five club activity news in the school newspaper!
