Chapter 525: Starlight Appears
A piece of news caught my eye.
[System: Ding Dong, congratulations to all Blue Star players. The current server-wide environmental severity level for Level 3 has reached 3000%, reaching the maximum critical value for disaster recovery for this level. Now, the hidden Easter egg event [7-day limited-time challenge] has begun.]
[Event: 7-day limited-time challenge]
[During the seven days, no matter how many times all the Blue Star players fail to pass the level, the severity of the current third level's environment will not increase until a player enters the fourth level, and the increase in the severity of the environment will be reset to zero.
After seven days, regardless of whether you succeed or fail, the severity of the third level's environment will be fixed at 3000% of its current severity.
As soon as the news came out.
This made it impossible for Su An to slowly discuss how to break through the level.
Even Su An, who had a good life, gasped when he saw the news.
This activity is really brutal.
The third level is set in such a terrible and harsh environment. How can everyone survive? If they cannot move forward on the road and complete the experiment, the fate of the blue star civilization will be the end.
The news on the public screen became more and more anxious as the system announcement was made. At this moment, the storm disaster in the non-platform space of the third level was severe, and almost no players could stay in the outside world.
The members of the stability maintenance team who were responsible for monitoring the environment were shaking their hands while writing reports.
Thousands of players wandering around the platform were in a state of panic.
"Let's go, let's set off immediately. We can't wait any longer."
Su An spoke to the dolls.
"Wait, master, this dish will be ready soon." replied the little pumpkin.
"Let's eat first before we set off," said the little bear.
Su An looked at the food in the pot and the dolls waiting for dinner, nodded, and agreed to eat first.
She was indeed a little excited just now.
The most important thing in the world is eating.
After the meal, the pumpkin carriage moved forward at a very fast speed.
First level, second level, third level, fourth level...
After repeatedly completing the game, Su An and the dolls have figured out the fastest route. They have already made a division of labor and cooperated with each other to complete the game as quickly as possible.
They soon returned to level 17.
Only one day had passed.
Six days left.
They didn't sleep a wink that day.
Su An felt very sleepy, her upper and lower eyelids were fighting with each other, and she wished she could use some glue to stick her double eyelids together.
The dolls are no less impressive.
They all looked listless. Little Pumpkin had a pale face, Juanjuan's complexion seemed even paler, Little Bear had drooping fur, and the Fox's body was gray.
But time is running out.
Su An gritted his teeth, used high-quality leaf tobacco, and took everyone to take potions together.
A wave of blue potions came, a wave of life potions came, and soon everyone was refreshed.
Next, everyone began to try to solve the puzzle according to the clues Su An had thought of.
Try again and again.
When I tried the puzzle-solving route designed according to Juanjuan's ideas, there were changes.
Juanjuan’s idea was correct. After pressing a button, the lights in the whole room came on, as if the darkness had suddenly turned into day.
The glaring light hurts people's eyes.
It took me a long time to get used to it.
Su An couldn't help but rub his eyes repeatedly to make himself feel better.
Next, everyone observes the house under the light to look for any clues.
Nothing around me has changed.
Just when everyone was faced with a new problem and thought they were going in the wrong direction.
With the sound of a mechanism, the water level in the seventeenth level dropped little by little, revealing the floor of the room. The floor and roof of the room looked like rock slabs.
A halo pattern appeared on the ground, and everyone controlled the stranded pumpkin boat to transform it into a pumpkin spaceship and take off.
Everyone stood on the pumpkin spaceship and looked down to see the entire pattern.
Su An thought the pattern below looked very familiar, and it seemed like the text on the bulletin board.
Su An took the initiative to use the system translation function.
After the system translated it, the pattern below was indeed alien text, which meant: The key is below, please ignite the spark to open the door.
Su An searched along the bottom of the pattern and used his telekinesis to move the ground to find the key, a golden round cake.
Su An held the round cake in his hand. It was golden and hard, neither gold, jade nor silver.
The material has a crisp sound.
Su An couldn't identify the material, and the system detection showed that it was the key to open the door of the eighteenth level.
Su An thought along the clues given on the ground.
The next step is to ignite the spark to open the door.
But what is spark? Where can we start a fire?
The translation of the system is transliteration, paraphrase or metaphorical meaning.
Su An couldn't tell the difference.
The dolls also had a heated discussion about this issue. Seeing that they were just one step away from passing the test, everyone became more anxious.
Clear the customs early and have a good rest.
Return to the road and live a stable life.
This period of time is about to become everyone's obsession.
We discussed this for a few minutes.
Little Bear suggested taking the literal meaning and building a fire to see how it goes.
The little bear is a practical person. He believes that only by trying more can he get results. Many of the mechanisms in this map are functions that he actively tried to analyze.
Thanks to its thick skin, high defense and high attack, the bear is not afraid of these mechanisms.
There are no good leads.
Su An decided to try what Xiong suggested, and the group took out some wood and started a fire on the spot.
The entire space did not change at all.
The bear was used to this result and looked him up and down.
But there were no better clues. There were only those patterns on the floor, and the key had been found based on the patterns.
Is it on fire?
When Su An was at a loss, he remembered that stars only appear at night.
So she suggested that everyone turn off the lights.
Find the mechanism combination to turn on the lights, do it in reverse, and soon the lights will go out and it will return to darkness.
There was the sound of flowing water, and drops of water appeared. In the darkness, Su An felt the water wet her feet.
As the water appeared, the fire became soaked and then extinguished.
The little pumpkin controls the pumpkin car to turn into a pumpkin spaceship and fly up first.
"Master, let's go to the boat for a while." Little Pumpkin suggested.
Su An turned on a strong flashlight and said to the dolls, "I'm going to check out the water outlet."
After saying that, she used her telekinesis to fly in the direction of the water flow.
Little Pumpkin followed suit.
Juanjuan and Xiaoli both flew up.
The bear can't fly, so it relies on Juanjuan to lead it along as it follows its owner.
"Stars and Sparks, I get it."
Su An looked at the dark water and the rock ceiling, where only a few fluorescent lights remained due to power outage, and spoke.
"What."
The little pumpkin, who only grows flesh but not intelligence, raises a question.
Without waiting for its owner to answer, it heard its owner giving a command.
"Nan Ling, go to A23, B22, B24, C23 and input spiritual energy."
"Got it." Little Pumpkin turned around and left.
This label is the distribution of light stones arranged by Su An and the dolls for easy marking. The entire room is divided into eleven areas: ABCDEFGHIJK, and each area is marked with a number.
This means that the little pumpkin can input spiritual power into the corresponding lamp stone according to the number.
"Juanjuan, go to E6, E8, F7, G6, G8."
"Xiao Li, you go..."
Following Su An's instructions, everyone started to move, except for the bear who couldn't fly. Everyone was busy.
Soon, dots of starlight appeared on the rock wall of the ceiling of the entire house.
