Qi Xu was speechless, and thought he had made himself clear enough.
Ying Sha glanced at Xie Shaoning with disdain. "Illiterate? Have you ever been to school? You can't even understand such simple language? It means that two people need to work together."
Fu Shou Mian Mian burst out laughing, "Shut up, you're not much smarter than Xie Guanjun, cough cough, loading up the cargo."
"It wasn't just two people working together."
Qi Xu didn't want everyone to start arguing anymore, so he stood up and continued speaking, his gaze sweeping over the 12 fragments corresponding to the 12 people.
"There are 12 pieces in total, and each piece is stuck 'almost' away from the target. Applying pressure from one direction is not enough; you need to apply force to all four opposite corners simultaneously. As the cage remains tilted, each piece will move closer to its respective point of application. Players with longer arm spans should be able to reach the black puzzle piece."
Three Kings immediately realized: "I'll team up with Xie Shaoning and stay in the northeast and southwest corners."
005 didn't say much. He gestured with his hand, felt that he could do it, and went directly to the southeast corner.
Despite being mocked and angry, Shadow Killer couldn't care less as the red iron ball got closer and closer to everyone's location. He went straight to the last northwest corner.
"Alright, four of you, take turns guarding the four corners. The rest of you, follow my commands and press down together." Qi Xu looked at Tonsil Yong, who remained silent, still leaning against the iron pillar, her expression calm, as if she didn't care at all about the increasingly dangerous situation.
Mu Zili suddenly spoke up: "If we had actually voted in the last round and caused a player to die, it would have been impossible to pass this round."
"Yes, to survive, not a single one can be missing. If we actually listened to the announcement and tried to grab those four corners, we'd all be doomed."
As they chatted, they quickly found their places and began to consider the instance. It seemed to be a cooperative type rather than a competitive one.
"Northeast corner, three, two, one, go!"
Qi Xu's command carried an undeniable penetrating force, and muffled thuds of tensing muscles came from all four corners simultaneously.
Xie Shaoning finally managed to get the puzzle piece, but before he could even gloat, Qi Xu gave him a new command.
It continued until it had gone around once and collected all the puzzle pieces from the surrounding area.
Everyone thought that the hint would only appear after the entire puzzle was completed, but to their surprise, both sides of the puzzle were completely black!
"Holy crap, are you kidding me? All that effort to retrieve it is completely useless!"
"This is ridiculous! What are we going to do? The iron ball is only four or five meters away from us. Are we really going to go to the corner of the wall? We'll just have to watch everyone else die!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, there's content on the puzzle, wait for me."
The retired energetic young man, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly stepped to the front. "You all squat down, don't block my light. These puzzle pieces aren't all black, there are color variations. I'll rearrange them according to color intensity first."
The retired energetic young man squatted on the ground and quickly spread out 12 black fragments on the ground, running his fingertips over the surface of the fragments.
"Look, the black of these fragments is not a pure color. Some have a very faint bluish-green tint, some have a dark red base color, and some have a silvery-gray sheen, as if they have been illuminated by light of different intensities, with completely different color strengths."
Upon hearing this, everyone crouched down. Sure enough, under the red glow of the fireball, they could see subtle color differences on the fragments, but they couldn't sort them by color intensity; even blind people couldn't tell which was stronger...
