"Whoosh! It's a number! This must be the number of floors in this tower!"
Flame Scale spoke first, before Gu Xi could.
Gu Xi tilted her head slightly, looking at it with a mixture of doubt and curiosity.
Ais stood to the side expressionlessly, but her eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
Gu Xi asked, "How did you know?"
"Pfft?! Do you even need to ask? This building is so tall, how can you get up without an elevator?!"
Its eyes were bright and sparkling, its body leaned forward, and its face was full of smugness.
Gu Xi looked at it in surprise, knowing that it had learned the contents of the magazine again.
However, it makes some sense. While there are other possibilities besides indicating floor height, such as an access code for internal personnel, sometimes simplifying things can lead to unexpected surprises.
Gu Xi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then let's give it a try."
"Plulu? How do I try it?"
Gu Xi took out two gold coins from his backpack, then used a spike to carve two marks on the coins. He then wrapped a wisp of spiritual energy around one of the coins, while leaving the other untouched.
She placed the two gold coins on the ground, and then used a spike to poke one of the squares that represented the number "five".
Just after Gu Xi struck the square representing "five", a burst of Tar's spiritual energy came through, and the gold coin wrapped in spiritual energy was pierced by a beam of light.
As the gold coin was pierced by the light and rose upwards, a faint energy fluctuation appeared in the surrounding space, and tiny light particles flickered and danced around the light, like stardust.
After the light pierced through, the gold coin slowly rose into the sky, and suddenly, the entire gold coin disappeared.
"Whoosh? Where did it go?"
"I don't know, let me try first." Gu Xi shook his head and then began to try to manipulate the tuft of spiritual energy that had been cut off.
She tried using her mental power to lift the gold coin, then put it down, and then let it roll repeatedly on the ground it hit. After several high-speed bounces, she finally confirmed that the gold coin was perfectly safe.
Seeing that her complexion had improved considerably, Yan Lin asked anxiously, "Pfft? How are you?!"
Gu Xi nodded. "No problem, this really does seem to be an elevator."
"Pfft! See, I told you! It's safe, it's safe."
"Plop~ Then you go out first, press that button from before, and go upstairs to wait for us."
Ais's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Flamescale's smugness.
Flame Scale's body stiffened, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly in a look of terror. Then he stammered:
"Pfft... Pfft, I don't want to, I don't want to go alone."
Gu Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She patted the two fish's hands and said, "Alright, alright, let's go up together! We'll share the burden if anything happens!"
Urged by Gu Xi, Ai Si released a wisp of mental energy and wrapped it around the outside of the ice shield. Then Gu Xi used the spike in his hand to directly pierce the stone with the number "five".
This time, a thicker beam of white light struck the ice shield directly, causing the person and two fish to float slowly in mid-air, carrying the ice shield.
A familiar feeling of weightlessness washed over Gu Xi, who was greatly alarmed.
"This is!"
"Pfft? What, you know?"
As soon as Yan Lin finished speaking, the two fish and one person arrived at the fifth floor. The gold coins that Gu Xi had just placed were now spread out in the primary space.
Gu Xi stared at the gold coin for several seconds before withdrawing her mental energy.
"Pfft! You haven't finished what you were saying."
Gu Xi looked around as he said, "That beam of light is a teleportation device."
"Pfft! I knew it was teleportation, so what?"
"Well, it's a long story. Back then, you weren't even on board yet... Anyway, now's not the time to talk about that. Just know that I used it when I knew absolutely nothing about Tal."
