Cheng Yi’s complexion looked terrible. She suddenly received everyone’s angry and condemning stares and couldn’t say a word.
Chen Yu understood. He relied too much on the clues themselves, making it difficult to break free from fixed thinking and unnecessarily complicated things. On the other hand, He Jing could see through the essence by looking beyond appearances, effortlessly grasping the clues. This was the difference between them!
There was no need to ask anymore.
He Jing, being so intelligent, would naturally decrypt the password faster than him.
However, he couldn’t control himself and continued to ask, “How did you get the second and third digits of the password?”
He Jing glanced at Yan Hanxi, who smiled and said, “The second digit is deduced based on the first digit because there is a formula in this story. When General Saul left his planet, the roses hadn’t blossomed yet. When he returned, the roses covered the entire palace. The blooming period of roses is from April to September. So, when General Saul left, indicating the roses hadn’t bloomed, it meant it was before April, which is one of the digits in 123.”
“123 corresponds to Ace, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to get one.”
It was the one he had taken the moment he stepped into the secret room.
Ace of Spades.
Therefore, the password for the second digit was A.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Chen Yu said dejectedly.
He also solved 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 Saul to conquer his homeland. The answer is 2.” Yan Hanxi said unhurriedly, “General Saul only took two hours to conquer his original planet.”
“What about the fourth digit?” Chen Yu immediately pursued, “How did you find the clue for the fourth digit?”
Other than the first digit of the password, he had taken a detour. He had solved the second and third digits in the fastest time possible, but he couldn’t find any clues about the fourth digit. How did they find it?
He Jing said lightly, “The fourth digit has nothing to do with General Saul. Do you still remember the purpose of this preliminary mission we were doing?”
In an instant, Chen Yu’s pupils shrank. He suddenly recalled this matter that he had forgotten.
They had come to this room to make guesses about the big boss behind the big secret room.
Since the purpose was clear, this room couldn’t be unrelated to the big boss behind the scenes.
He Jing walked over to Yan Hanxi and took something out of his hand. Upon closer inspection, it was a Rubik’s cube.
“This was found under a table. It’s the only thing in the room that can be used to solve the puzzle.”
So, they were hiding in that corner fiddling with something because they had been restoring the Rubik’s Cube?
“The final answer is 9.” He Jing said, “Returen all six sides of the Rubik’s Cube to their original positions. All sides of the Rubik’s cube have the number 9.”
Therefore, the correct password for this display case was 3129.
Chen Yu completely admitted defeat. He admitted that his thinking was not as agile as He Jing’s, and his knowledge was not as broad as Yan Hanxi’s. He Jing was like a detective who calmly hunted down the murderer, and Yan Hanxi was her best assistant.
Chen Yu glanced at Cheng Yi and suddenly couldn’t help but feel immensely disappointed in Cheng Yi. If Cheng Yi had half the skill of Yan Hanxi or He Jing, he would have had a chance to win.
Unfortunately, it was useless to say anything now..
