"Is it so difficult? Well, it seems quite difficult..."

"Being born in such a barren land, with such a weak source of waste, yet being able to achieve such achievements, it's strange, it's strange!"

"Senior, I have a question. What is this third box of doubt..."

"Young friend, you are pretty lucky. This third level puzzle has no name. It is automatically generated by the Tianji box based on your first two levels of unboxing results. The better the score, the simpler the generated box puzzle will be, and vice versa, the more difficult it will be. Judging from your results in the first two levels, the third level should be easy."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Yao pressed his eyes and temples and breathed a long sigh of relief. If there were any more difficult questions in this state, he would probably be too much to bear.

"If you are ready, touch the fragment of the third box and let the Tianji box decide the question of the third box."

"Come on, I'm ready."

Chen Yao took a short rest and gently touched the fragment of the box in front of his lower body.

"Click, click, click!"

The touched fragments began to expand around, and a giant hollow metal cube slowly emerged...

After several flashes of light, the hollow part quickly weaved a giant light curtain half a person's height, and then some golden words slowly emerged from the light curtain.

[Extracting in progress...Extraction completed!

This heavy box question is: ordinary and simple questions and answers...

Now let’s start interpreting the rules…

Rule 1: The answer must be made within ten seconds, otherwise the judgment will fail. If the answer is wrong or false, the judgment will also fail.

Rule 2: There must be a number of ≥3 intelligent humanoid creatures within 5m of the puzzle solver.

The rules have been read out. Now, please press your forehead against the light curtain for 3 seconds. 】

Chen Yao was still immersed in the mystery of the Tianji Box at the beginning. He did not expect that small fragments could be transformed into such a large creation and light curtain. Such ingenious changes and precise assembly were simply too cool.

But when he saw clearly the rules of the third box of doubts, Chen Yao began to have some... doubts, yes.

"Ordinary and simple questions and answers, this name is a big deal... and these rules..."

An extremely bad feeling came to Chen Yao's heart, but for now he still followed the instructions of the Tianji box and carefully pressed his forehead against the light curtain for three seconds. Apart from a slight sense of electricity, there was no feeling in the whole process. Other strange feelings.

[Reading...parsing completed.

Please confirm that rule 2 is true, otherwise the judgment will fail and the countdown will be 60...59...58....

Chen Yao didn't dare to delay and quickly called the Qiu Yunxi sisters, Xiaohu and Yina around him, and then the light curtain stopped counting down. 】

[Confirm that Rule 2 is established... Please stay where you are... Question is being generated... Please wait...]

"Brother Yao, why did you ask us to come here?"

Qiu Yueli pulled Chenyao's sleeves and asked in a low voice.

"Uh...I don't know, this box requires..."

"Oh...what a strange request..."

At this moment, the golden subtitles slowly began to appear again.

"Stop talking! It's about to start."

Qiu Yunxi said seriously.

Yue Li had no choice but to cover her mouth with her little hands.

[The question has been generated. This question is as follows: Among all the books you have read in the past month, which one is your favorite? The countdown begins...10...9...]

Chen Yao was still waiting for the question with trepidation, and even when he was still guessing what problems would arise, he was stunned by the sudden problem. That's it? Isn't this simple? Suddenly feeling confident, he blurted it out.

"The title of the book is: Blue Star Craft Record."

【wrong answer! You have one more chance! Tip: The books in this question are not restricted to categories. 】

"I..?!"

The moment he learned that his answer was wrong, Chen Yao felt bad. When he saw the prompt from the Tianji box, Chen Yao's brain immediately shut down! !

Books are not limited to categories, and a good one is not limited to categories! In this way, all Chen Yao's previous doubts were solved. Why did someone need to be nearby? Why was the name of the box question so strange? Everything was clear. What a simple question!

At this moment, Chen Yao has already scolded the person who designed this box of suspicion a hundred times in his heart. Although he wants to admit defeat, he has come this far and is one step away from success. How can he be willing to give up?

Just before the countdown was about to end, Chen Yao said the title of the book seemingly calmly.

"The title of the book is: A Beautiful Night at Rose Manor."

【Wait for the lights and wait for the lights~ Congratulations, you answered correctly! 】

Next, enter the additional link of this heavy box question: the reappearance of classics.

Not good, very bad! Chen Yao's heart was pounding. He could tell at the first sight of this name that there would definitely be a big problem next.

[Do your best to perform the best part in the book vividly (you can invite up to one accompanying performer). Based on the performance and the audience's viewing situation, you will be given a score of 0-10. You still have 30 minutes to prepare. time. If the performance fails to start after the timer expires, it will be judged as failed and the timer will start. 】

As the countdown at the top of the Tianji box began, Chen Yao was stunned, and several people around him were also stunned.

Chen Yao was stunned because the impact was too strong, while the others were stunned because of confusion.

"Performance? Thirty minutes of rehearsal should be enough..."

Qiu Yunxi put his hands on his chest and stared at the light screen, thinking deeply.

After regaining consciousness, Chen Yao began to scan the faces of several people one by one, thinking to himself.

"Yueli? It's too simple, pass...Yina? No, it's impossible no matter what you think about...Xiaohu? Uh~ I can't look directly at the picture...Then there's only..."

Chen Yao raised his head and met Qiu Yunxi's penetrating gaze.

"Yun Xi, come with me."

Amid the slightly puzzled looks of several people, Chen Yao walked aside with Qiu Yunxi, and then took a deep breath.

"Ahem... Yun Xi, listen to me, this actor can only be you, and we must succeed. This matter is crucial, and we don't have much time..."

"Then just tell me quickly!"

"Well... then take a look at this, it's probably on page 172."

Chen Yao took out a medium-thick book with a rose-red cover full of simple patterns from the binding ring. The title of the book was "A Beautiful Night at Rose Manor".

Qiu Yunxi picked up the book, opened the page that Chen Yao mentioned and began to read ten lines at a glance. In the first second, Qiu Yunxi's expression was a little confused, but in the second second it quickly changed to sullenness, and in the third second it turned into fullness. His face turned red with embarrassment, and then he became even more sullen as if he was remembering something.

During the whole process, Chen Yao kept lowering his head and looking at the tips of his shoes, saying nothing like a child who had done something wrong.

"Snapped!"

Qiu Yunxi threw the book at Chen Yao, but Chen Yao hugged him. Then he raised his head and was about to say something...

"Snapped!"

This time it was a crisp slap.

"You...you actually read this kind of book! I was really mistaken! I really thought you were so studious and motivated! Chen Yao, you disappoint me so much!"

Chen Yao, who had received a slap in the face, rubbed his face, but he couldn't explain it. He was indeed in the wrong.

"This is indeed my problem, Yunxi, but let's get over this difficulty first, okay? I have a hunch that this box is really important to us."

At this moment, Chen Yao had a slap mark on his face, coupled with a sincere and serious expression, which looked very funny, but Qiu Yunxi couldn't laugh. He could tell that there was some truth and some falseness in Chen Yao's words.

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later. If you dare to read such messy books again, I'll nail your ant legs with one arrow! I'm really mad at you!"

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I will return the book to the old village chief when I get back, and I will never borrow it again."

Chen Yao was so frightened when he heard Qiu Yunxi's harsh words that he accidentally spilled the beans.

"This old and dishonest thing! I'll burn it all for him when I get back!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, let's rehearse, it's okay, it's just this short paragraph..."

................................................................. ...

From the perspective of several people on the side, what happened just now seemed quite strange. First, Chen Yao took out a book from his arms and gave it to Qiu Yunxi. Then Qiu Yunxi threw away the book for some unknown reason after reading it, and gave it back to Chen Yao. Yao slapped him.

They were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a breath. Then strangely, the two of them finally picked up the book and started studying it. They were probably too far away to hear the conversation, so the whole process seemed a bit bizarre.

After another twenty minutes, the two of them came back looking a little unnatural.

"Ahem...Xiaohu, go and move two rocks here. You want to..."

"Click, click, click!"

Just as Chen Yao was about to ask Jiang Hu to move some rocks to construct a simple scene, the conversation was interrupted by the sound of gears turning. Several people followed the sound and found out that the sound was coming from the Tianji box. It was thought that he wanted to attract a few people. Pay attention, focus your attention, and the subtitles begin to appear slowly.

[Please open the book to the plot section and stick close to the light curtain...]

Chen Yao scratched his head, turned the book to page 172 as required by the Tianji box, and then pressed against the light curtain.

[Scanning...Scanning completed...Constructing...]

"Chi chi chi chi chi chi! Click click click click..."

As the subtitles disappeared, the light curtain in the sky was dismantled and dissipated. These tiny fragments, together with the suspended fragments of the fifty-three boxes, all flew away from the center of the sky machine box.

Construction began silently in a quiet midnight place. Jiang Hu and the others were isolated by a strange wall that looked transparent on one side but dark on the other. But what's interesting is that one of the fragments thoughtfully turned into a suspended bench behind the group of people.

A strange force moved Chen Yao and Qiu Yunxi several steps backward. Two beams of light came from nowhere and swept across the two people in the scene. Two different outfits were generated. .

Qiu Yunxi's bun was covered diagonally with a rose-red wide-brimmed hat, with black lace gauze hanging down. She was wearing a classical palace-style black-gold train skirt, and every part of her body was revealing. A sense of nobility and dignity;

Chen Yao wears a black top hat, a white shirt and a black vest, and a large brown windbreaker over the vest. However, the finishing touch is the two strokes of mustache on Chen Yao's mouth. This outfit makes him look mature. And mysterious.

Before the two of them could look at each other, a slightly rusty classical black hollow iron door slowly rose between them. The light in the center of the Tianji box also began to slowly climb. When it reached a certain height, the light suddenly shrank. , began to become white and quiet.

At this time, all the sounds around Chen Yao and Qiu Yunxi disappeared instantly, and the low sounds of insects and frogs began. At this moment, it was like a quiet moonlit night scene.

The sounds heard by the few people watching outside the scene were not affected. Chen Yao and Qiu Yunxi were in a trance at the moment. First, they were shocked by the strange technology of Tianji Box, and second, because the scene and environment at this moment were too real. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether they were in the book world or reality.

"Ding..."

A crisp and soft sound caused everyone inside and outside the scene to look up and pay attention. The familiar golden subtitles slowly appeared. At this moment, Chen Yao was sure that the scene at this moment was not real.

[Audience please take your seats, the performance begins. 】

Jiang Hu and the others came to their senses only after seeing the subtitles. They hurriedly sat down and curiously looked at the costumes of the two people in the scene.

As the golden subtitles gradually faded away, Chen Yao also began to understand the plot in the book and got ready.

【The show has begun~】
