There was finally some progress.
Cheng Yi’s smile widened, and the heavy stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. Chen Yu really didn’t disappoint her. If this continued, the four-digit password would be cracked soon!
With this thought in mind, she immediately looked at He Jing, maintained a gentle posture, and said with a feigned smile, “Student He Jing, why don’t you join us? We already have a clue about the password.”
When the other players heard this, they had worked hard to find a clue, so they opposed the idea of sharing information with He Jing. Hence, their voices of objection rose one after another.
“No, we can’t tell her the password.”
“That’s right. Let her find the clues herself.’
“I bet she’s regretting it so much that she hasn’t made any progress yet.”
Chen Yu also followed Cheng Yi’s gaze and cast his gaze to the corner. His nervousness didn’t decrease at all but instead became even stronger.
There was a click and a slight noise. He Jing handed the thing in her hand to Yan Hanxi and walked out of the darkness. She said, “Thank you for your kindness, but it’s not necessary.”
Cheng Yi felt that something was wrong and her expression changed slightly. “What? Have you already figured out the correct password?”
He Jing replied, “Not yet, but soon.”
When she said that, all the players widened their eyes in disbelief.
They thought, “How could she be making progress without doing anything? No, she must be bragging.”
Chen Yu frowned, not entirely convinced. When Cheng Yi led everyone to collect playing cards, he searched the entire room but found no clues. The only possibility was that the clues were on the playing cards, and Cheng Yi had already identified the different playing cards, which made this matter a publicly acknowledged fact.
He thought, “How did she have the courage to say such a thing?”
Cheng Yi thought He Jing was stubborn. She couldn’t hide her smugness. “Alright then. Let’s wait and see.”
Then, she looked at Yan Hanxi shyly and timidly. She tugged at the hem of her skirt and said gently, “Student Yan, do you want to join us? There are points to be earned.”
Yan Hanxi gave her a sideways glance. His lips slowly curled up. “Thank you for the invitation, but I’m allergic to people other than He Jing.”
Cheng Yi’s face froze as she bit her lip.
She thought, “What does He Jing have that makes him so devoted?”
She told herself, “Forget it. When I got first place in the secret room ranking, he would know who was the real outstanding person.”
So, she turned back to Chen Yu and said with a smile, “Then let’s continue.”
Chen Yu reluctantly withdrew his gaze from He Jing and continued to analyze the poker cards.
Just like that, five minutes passed. When he deciphered the third digit of the password, He Jing suddenly strode over to the transparent display case and pressed a digit.
Just as He Jing was about to press the second digit, Cheng Yi stood up from the ground and stopped her excitedly. “Student He Jing, please stop. This password lock can only be entered three times. Please don’t waste everyone’s chance so casually!”
He Jing turned a deaf ear and pressed the password directly. There was a long beep, and the transparent display case made a strange noise as if the switch had been activated.
Then, the display case stopped moving and returned to silence.
Cheng Yi’s panicked heart relaxed. Then, she continued to criticize her, “Student He Jing, you’re too much. Even if you think you’ve cracked the password, you should have discussed it with us before pressing it. This is a shared opportunity for everyone…”
As soon as she finished speaking-
“Beep beep.”
“Verification complete. The password is correct.”
The display cabinet suddenly made a sound again!
