Chapter 24 Gift



Bai Jingshu followed Shui Yiyao into the first door, and the cameraman followed them in.

Inside the door is a long mud pit about ten meters long. Opposite is the second door, and you have to pass through the mud pit to get through.

There's a sign next to it: The mud pit is 1 meter deep, you need to step on wooden stakes to cross. Come on!

There is a row of wooden stakes in the middle of the mud pit, connecting to the second door. The distance between the stakes is nearly one meter. If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit if you don't step firmly.

Shui Yiyao landed firmly on the first wooden stake.

She stamped her feet lightly and tested the wooden stake: "Mr. Bai, very steady, keep up with my pace."

As she spoke, she began to walk forward step by step, each step very steady.

Bai Jingshu was initially hesitant, glancing at the mud pit several times. Falling in wouldn't be comfortable. But Shui Yiyao, who was ahead of her, was already nearing the second gate, so she took a deep breath and started walking too.

It took them five minutes to reach the second door.

Shui Yiyao arrived first and went to the door to figure out how to open the lock.

"Voice-controlled door?" she asked in confusion.

Bai Jingshu also followed him ashore and walked to the door.

This is an electronic door with a sign on it: This door is voice-activated. Please read "awsl" aloud to trigger the door to open.

"a, w, s, l?" Shui Yiyao read out the letters one by one.

"No response." Shui Yiyao scratched the back of her head, switched back to Chinese pinyin, and read out the four letters one by one in a serious manner.

But the door remained motionless.

Shui Yiyao didn't even know this common internet meme. Doesn't she usually surf the internet? I don't know why, but I actually think it's a little cute.

Bai Jingshu, standing next to her, raised her lips slightly, then quickly suppressed the upward curve. Looking at Shui Yiyao, who was confused by the electronic door in front of her, she reminded her, "Maybe it's not loud enough. Try louder."

Shui Yiyao said "Oh", nodded in agreement, and shouted to the door: "AWSL!"

"...No, it's useless." Shui Yiyao frowned as she looked at the electronic door that still didn't respond.

Bai Jingshu couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, but quickly suppressed it: "I remember."

"Ah—I'm dead."

As soon as Bai Jingshu finished speaking, the electronic door opened with a click.

Shui Yiyao thought about it for a moment before realizing it was the abbreviation of the pinyin initials.

"I just remembered it too." Bai Jingshu explained. Afraid that Shui Yiyao might react, she quickly walked into the second door.

Shui Yiyao didn't think much about it and followed him in.

Of the ten doors, most tested physical fitness and common sense, and the two of them passed them quickly.

"There are two doors left." Shui Yiyao crossed the pond and came to the ninth door. She looked at the wooden door in front of her and studied the lock. "There's a groove here that looks like a concave character. The key should be something in this concave shape. Put it in the groove and it will open the door."

Bai Jingshu looked around and saw a piece of wood under the door. She picked it up and said, "This is a Luban lock. We should unlock it."

Shui Yiyao looked up at it and identified it: "The nine-way lock in the Luban lock."

That is, it is a wooden block made up of nine small wooden strips, which can be disassembled into nine small wooden strips using the correct method.

Bai Jingshu tried to take it apart, like twisting a Rubik's Cube, but it remained the same no matter how much she twisted it.

Shui Yiyao watched her twisting for two minutes, and finally said, "Let me try."

She took the nine-way lock and took it apart in no time, then put a piece of wood into the groove of the wooden door with quick movements.

The door opened.

Bai Jingshu looked at Shui Yiyao's series of smooth movements and thought they were quite handsome.

She's handsome, quiet, and good-natured, but not clingy. Actually, she's quite likeable. I don't know how she ended up like that, with so many enemies and no real fans.

There was only one door left. After it opened, Shui Yiyao looked inside.

[Shui Yiyao and Bai Jingshu have reached the final stage. Congratulations! The key to this stage is on a platform. You need to climb up to get the key. You'll receive a bonus after completing the stage. Keep it up!] The announcement blared.

"It seems that our group is the first to reach the finish line." Bai Jingshu said.

Shui Yiyao looked inside the door, and her eyes widened after seeing the layout inside: "This level is a bit difficult."

This level is still a puddle with suspended wooden boards above it. The wooden boards rise layer by layer, and the highest one is two meters from the ground. There is a box on it, and the key should be in the box.

There are large inflatable hammers on both sides of the road, swinging back and forth on the road, making it more difficult to move forward.

"Teacher Bai, wait a minute. Let me try first."

Shui Yiyao chose the right time, dodged the first sledgehammer, and jumped onto the first wooden board. When the sledgehammer was about to swing back, she jumped onto the second wooden board.

"Come on!" Bai Jingshu looked at her from where she was. To be honest, she felt like she was winning without any effort as if she was led by a big boss.

When Shui Yiyao jumped to the fourth wooden board, the span was too large and she was knocked off the board by the hammer and fell into the pool.

Bai Jingshu walked to the edge of the pool and held out her hand: "Come up, I'll pull you up."

Watching Shui Yiyao walk to the edge of the pool, Bai Jingshu held her hand and pulled her ashore.

She didn't let go immediately, but looked at Shui Yiyao's hand and asked in confusion: "Why are there so many blisters on your hands?"

There were several blisters on the pads of her index finger and thumb, as if they were caused by doing heavy work.

Shui Yiyao withdrew her hand, not really caring: "I'm rushing to finish my homework, it's tiring."

Finally, the two of them cooperated, chose the right time to climb the wooden board, and went back and forth for nearly half an hour before they finally got the key on the platform.

Before they could find the key, a notification suddenly came over the radio: [Su Su and Jiang Hao's team reached the final level, congratulations!] Shui Yiyao: "They're too weak."

The two obtained the key and broadcast

[Shui Yiyao and Bai Jingshu passed the final level and became the final winners of this event! They will share the championship prize of 300,000 yuan!]

Shui Yiyao returned to the room exhausted. Although the entire runway was only 800 meters, she felt that it was more strenuous than climbing a mountain. The program team had too many tricks up their sleeves.

But since she got the bonus, she didn't lose out.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Xiao Zheng filled a bathtub with warm water for Shui Yiyao. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Shui Yiyao standing in front of the tea table, boiling water.

Shui Yiyao poured boiling water into the cup: "I'll make some coffee, stop busying yourself and go take a rest."

Xiao Zheng came over and just in time smelled the strong bitter aroma of coffee. He frowned and said, "This is too strong. I'll get you some milk."

"No, that's it."

Xiao Zheng was puzzled: "Sister, we have other projects later this afternoon, and you still have three hours of break time. Why do you want to drink such strong coffee?"

Aren't we rushing to finish our homework? Three hours is not a short time, and we can make a lot of progress by using it.

Shui Yiyao blew on the coffee in the cup and took a small sip. A bitter taste spread in her mouth. She couldn't help but frown.

"Xiao Zheng, I remember I brought a Band-Aid in my bag. Can you help me get it out?"

I broke a blister on my hand and need to apply some medicine.

Xiao Zheng went to her travel bag to find a Band-Aid. "By the way, sis, did you see the trailer that the official Weibo account posted yesterday? They used your footage. It got a really good response."

Shui Yiyao: “I didn’t see it.”

"It was that clip of you diving in the sea with dolphins, only 10 seconds long, that went viral."

"oh?"

Shui Yiyao reluctantly replied and sat down in front of the engraving machine, not really interested.

"They all praised your beauty." Xiao Zheng took the Band-Aid he had found and handed it to Shui Yiyao, laughing. Yesterday's trending scene was a massive resurgence of Shui Yiyao's fans. "Sister, you are really beautiful underwater."

"Thank you." Shui Yiyao took the Band-Aid.

Xiao Zheng: "You're welcome."

In fact, when Shui Yiyao first debuted, there were many fans who were attracted by her looks, but later she only made enemies everywhere, spoke without thinking, and was pretentious, and gradually these fans also became depressed.

I didn’t expect that yesterday’s official blog would attract so many fans because of his looks.

Shui Yiyao sat in front of the engraving machine. She no longer cared about the fans and haters. She had to figure out how to finish carving the piece of material on time and participate in the competition.

·

The afternoon competition was mainly based on high jump. Shui Yiyao was not good at it, but she tried her best and got third place.

After the game, she didn't stay for long. She went back to her room, closed the door and continued to work on her homework.

Just when she was having a great time, suddenly, the golden conch she placed on the table emitted a strong light and vibrated slightly.

Shui Yiyao looked up. It must be the mermaids contacting her. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was already nine o'clock.

She put down the material in her hand, picked up the conch and pressed the connect button.

A video message came from the mermaid tribe.

The picture is projected onto the wall like a projection.

This is the gate to the mermaid tribe’s holy land.

"Grand Elder?" she called out tentatively.

"Princess, it's me." A voice from the other side responded softly.

Shui Yiyao recognized that this was the voice of the mermaid girl Xiaobei, and her voice was deliberately lowered, as if to be sneaky so as not to be noticed by others.

"Xiaobei, is something wrong?" Shui Yiyao was a little nervous.

"Princess, look--" Xiaobei must have raised the golden conch in his hand high, and the scene turned, and the perspective was just in front of the gate of the holy land.

In front of the holy place, there is a row of red boxes neatly placed.

What?

Suddenly, a voice came from the screen.

"I wonder what the chief means?" It was the voice of the great elder, deep and cautious in its exploration.

"Purifier." The man replied.

His voice was like the clearest and hardest jade colliding with each other, clear and sharp.

"Eighty-eight purifiers, the princess deserves it."

"Princess, did you hear that?" Xiao Bei whispered, "The dragon leader over there brought eighty-eight purifiers."

"He said you were worth it."

Shui Yiyao: “…”

The leader suddenly chuckled and added, "She is the cutest and most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

Xiao Bei: "Princess, did you hear that?" she repeated quietly, "He said you are the cutest and most beautiful caviar he has ever seen!"

Shui Yiyao: "...I heard it."

What is the most beautiful fish roe? This poor kid didn’t hear it clearly. Can you please stop translating it incorrectly?

Xiao Bei: "Princess, he really has good taste."

"Great Elder, I saw the golden conch. Is it the eldest princess?"

"May I have the honor of speaking to her?"

Shui Yiyao: ...

This person doesn't have good vision, but has good eyesight. So what's the point of this unfortunate kid Xiaobei sneaking around?

I really want to play dead.
