Cheng Yi looked terrible. She suddenly received everyone's angry and condemning gazes and couldn't say a word.
Chen Yu understood. He relied too much on the clues themselves, so he couldn't break out of his fixed mindset and complicate things. He Jing, on the other hand, could see through the phenomena to the essence and easily grasp the clues. That was the difference between them!
It seems there's no need to ask any further questions.
He Jing is so smart, it's only natural that she would crack the code faster than him.
However, he couldn't control himself and still asked, "How did you get the second and third digits of the password?"
He Jing glanced at Yan Hanxi, who smiled calmly and said, "The second digit is derived from the first digit. There is a formula in this story: when General Thor left his planet, the roses had not yet bloomed. When he returned, the roses were in full bloom throughout the palace. The rose blooming season is from April to September. The fact that the roses had not bloomed when General Thor left means that it was not yet April, which is one of the digits in 123."
"123 corresponds to the Ace, 2, and 3 playing cards. Unfortunately, I was very lucky to get one of them."
That is, the one he took as soon as he stepped into the secret room.
Ace of Spades.
Therefore, the second digit of the password is A.
"That's right, that's how it is."
Chen Yu said, looking utterly dejected.
He also deciphered the second digit of the password within three minutes.
"The third digit of the password has another formula, which is how long it took General Thor to conquer his homeland. The answer is 2," Yan Hanxi said calmly. "General Thor only took 2 hours to conquer his original planet."
"What about the fourth digit?" Chen Yu pressed on, "How did you find the clue about the fourth digit?"
He deciphered the first digit of the password in a roundabout way, but he solved the second and third digits in the shortest time. However, he couldn't find any clues about the fourth digit. How did they find it?
He Jing said calmly, "The fourth digit has nothing to do with General Thor. Do you remember what the purpose of this preliminary mission was?"
In an instant, Chen Yu's pupils contracted sharply as he suddenly remembered this thing he had forgotten.
They came to this room to speculate about the mastermind behind the secret chamber.
Since the purpose is so clear, this room can't possibly be unrelated to the mastermind behind it all.
He Jing walked towards Yan Hanxi and took something from his hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Rubik's Cube.
"This was found under a table; it's the only thing in the whole room that can be used to solve the puzzle."
So, they were huddled in that corner fiddling with something because they were trying to solve this Rubik's Cube?
“The final answer is 9,” He Jing said. “When all six faces of the Rubik’s Cube are in their correct positions, all of them will be the number 9.”
Therefore, the correct password for this display case is 3129.
Chen Yu completely admitted defeat. He acknowledged that his thinking was not as quick as He Jing's and his knowledge was not as broad as Yan Hanxi's. He Jing was like a calm detective chasing a murderer, while Yan Hanxi was his best assistant.
Chen Yu glanced at Cheng Yi and suddenly felt incredibly disappointed in him. If Cheng Yi were even half as good as Yan Hanxi or He Jing, he would definitely have a chance to win.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
