AHFAFTGTTT Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Riddle “Like stars piercing through the fog, one glance reveals the secrets of heaven.”…

Fu Yang certainly didn’t come specifically to swing.

Following the sunflower’s direction to the sunflower field, the ribbon’s color pointed to a general location. The wrapping paper of the bouquet, when unwrapped and pieced together in a specific order, yielded a spatial geometry problem. Calculating the azimuth using mathematical formulas wasn’t difficult for Fu Yang. Then, drawing a plan view of the garden, the point-to-point location was right under the swing.

He easily fetched a shovel from the tool shed, and with one dig, he unearthed a bag of sunflower seeds of various colors, concealing a delicate USB drive in the middle.

The map in the hall indicated that there was a computer in the study on the third floor, but in reality, the game room on the fourth floor could also use the USB drive.

[This first level of the route is too difficult.]

[Everyone’s going to the third floor now, why is he going to the fourth?]

[Did he solve it wrong?]

Fu Yang quickly locked onto the fourth floor. The game room was locked, confirming he hadn’t searched in the wrong place.

The door displayed a 6-digit password.

[I thought he solved it wrong, but he skipped a level…]

[Is Shangguan Yaoguang this smart? Who said he never went to university?]

The entire door was covered with children’s graffiti stickers, along with some sentences of unclear meaning.

“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

“Swing, swing, swing to Grandma’s bridge.”

“Unripe cherries fall early, don’t force things before their time.”

“Little rabbit, be good and open the door.”

“A timely snow promises a good harvest.”

…

[Is it related to colors? Doesn’t he still have a bag of colored sunflower seeds to use?]

[These sentences have distractions.]

[Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, converting them into numbers doesn’t work either, what is snow?]

[Snow is a distraction, try excluding it?]

[Excluding it leaves one number short.]

Fu Yang read all the sentences once and quickly got the password answer—”429630.”

[Reading the question and answering it, a god of puzzle-solving!]

[No, but why?]

[Snow is 9? Where does that come from, and how is 0 obtained?]

Fu Yang was about to enter the password when the PD who was filming him reminded him to explain the puzzle-solving process to the camera.

This stumped Fu Yang, because in his view, this question was like a one-plus-one calculation, with no process to explain.

“This… is a color riddle. Eggs are yellow, cherries are red, snow is white, the ocean is blue, oranges are orange, crows are black. The first thought for most people when they see colors is to use the rainbow spectrum sequence method, but this question cannot produce valid numbers according to the rainbow spectrum sequence method.”

[What’s the rainbow spectrum sequence method? What a fancy way of saying it, isn’t it just the rainbow color scale?]

Fu Yang raised the unused prop in his hand, “And there are ten colors of sunflower seeds, not the seven colors of the rainbow. From this, it can be deduced that it’s not the rainbow spectrum sequence method, but the resistor color code method.”

“In the electronic resistor color code standard, the colors—black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white—correspond to the numbers—0123456789. Therefore, according to the element correspondence, we get 429630.” Fu Yang bit the bullet and broke down “one plus one equals two” to explain it to everyone.

[Damn, how did he think of that?]

[Now that you say it, it’s indeed suddenly clear.]

[The question isn’t difficult, but it tests flexibility too much.]

[And it also tests the amount of knowledge reserves. Who would memorize the resistor color code method normally…]

[Actually, this question was left for Qing Sha to solve, right… the physics bigshot.]

[No, is there really no script? The others are still on the first level.]

[Shangguan Yaoguang is smarter than Qing Sha? I don’t believe it, there must be a black box!]

Fu Yang certainly couldn’t see the doubts in the comments. He had already entered the password and entered the game room.

The door of the room slowly slid open, emitting a slight “buzzing” sound, and a gust of cold air rushed out.

Stepping into the room, it was as if entering a completely new world, full of a sense of the future and technology.

The walls were a light silver-gray, with a smooth, mirror-like surface. The ceiling was inlaid with countless miniature LED lights, flickering in a subtle rhythm, emitting a soft blue light.

A huge smart screen occupied the entire wall, with a border that was almost invisible, like a window into a virtual world.

[Damn, big production!]

[What is that suspended keyboard?]

[What is that talking robot?]

[Electronic fish tank???]

[Can you take me with you when you secretly go to other planets… (lights a cigarette)]

Fu Yang inserted the USB drive into the computer on the giant screen.

——”Welcome to activate Project Signal Tower.”

This line of glowing text was displayed on the screen.

Below it was a blank line displaying——”Please enter password.”

[What again is the password??! I’m going crazy!!]

[Try the password from just entering the door?]

[How could it be so simple, this is definitely a separate level]

The props have been used up, and the hint for the password should be in the room. Fu Yang scanned through the various items, and finally stopped at the countless miniature LED lights inlaid in the ceiling, the length of the flashing time repeating a certain pattern.

Fu Yang quickly realized it was Morse code.

“Long short long short, short long long long long, short, long long long long long, long long short, short short short short, C1E0G5.”

[Ah?? So fast??]

[Can I borrow your brain…]

[He didn’t even move a pen, just said it out loud???]

[A script? Memorized it in advance?]

The moment the big screen was unlocked, it popped up with surveillance footage of every corner of the villa, densely packed and a bit creepy.

[Damn, so handsome!!]

[I see Chengyue, still solving the first level on the second floor.]

[Qing Sha is still fighting wits with the broken computer on the third floor, bigshot you found the wrong place…]

[Lu Baoyu is not doing his job, and is touching up his makeup again.]

[Sitting here overseeing the whole situation is too awesome!!]

——”Congratulations to player Shangguan Yaoguang for winning this game.”

The broadcast sound resounded throughout the villa. The others who were still stuck on the initial prop first or second level simultaneously stopped their actions, looked at the camera, and unconsciously made eye contact with Fu Yang behind the surveillance.

When several clues converged and they finally found the place, Fu Yang was leisurely sitting in a swivel chair drinking yogurt.

“Yaoguang is so fast!”

“Then we don’t have a universal card, boohoo.”

“Wow, what is this inside, high-tech!!”

Hao Yun was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything novel, touching here and there.

[The red-haired son didn’t solve a single question, what to do.]

[As long as the little idiot is happy.]

“Shangguan, we are a team, shouldn’t I get a share of the universal card?” Lu Baoyu said quickly.

[Of course!! Baby.]

[This baby is quite enthusiastic about claiming credit.]

Qing Sha blushed and said, “Wh-why, the co-computer, is bro-broken.”

[Bigshot, because you were deceived by the map.]

[You found the wrong place, darling.]

“Want to eat strawberry q.q candy?” Fu Yang turned to face Xu Chengyue in the swivel chair, sharing the spoils with him.

[Showing off in front of Gege, right?]

[Not showing off, this time it’s really handsome, boohoo.]

[Turns out I’m not just a fan of faces, I’m also a sapiosexual. Now Shangguan Yaoguang’s position in my heart is tied for first with Pleasant Goat]

“Okay.” Xu Chengyue took it with a smile, unreservedly praising, “Our Shangguan is getting more and more amazing.”

Fu Yang touched his nose and turned away a little embarrassed.

“I want to eat too!” Hao Yun reached out, eagerly waiting for the captain to feed him, “But the reward for getting first place is just a bag of □□ candy, the production team is so stingy, I thought there would be a feast!”

[Report: Actually, there could have been a buffet, but someone only took a bag of candy.]

[I was still wondering just now, such a good opportunity, and he just wants a bag of candy, turns out it’s a little secret with Gege. (Covering face and snickering)]

After everyone arrived, they naturally couldn’t avoid asking about the puzzle-solving route, and for a time it was noisy and chaotic.

Suddenly, a huge line of text popped up on the big screen.

——Warning! Warning! The Earth will be destroyed in seven days.

The bright red exclamation marks made everyone’s pupils shrink.

The small print below trembled violently, as if it were about to dissipate immediately.

“In seven days, the Earth will usher in the end of the world.

And you are the only grassroots humans who know about Project Signal Tower.

The upper-level players will leave Earth on a spaceship in seven days.

Players who find the address of the Signal Tower within seven days can survive.

Good luck.”

And for the fans watching the live broadcast on the screen, the screen was now formed by various fragments into a rather design-conscious title——

-Desert Island Signal Station-

–

After the official Weibo of “Desert Island Signal Station” was successfully registered, a large number of viewers immediately poured in.

[Turns out they were holding back something big, deserted island survival you should have said earlier, I love watching this.]

[When is the next live broadcast????]

[So the previous two live broadcasts were pilot episodes, the main show hasn’t started yet?]

[7 days and 7 nights of live broadcast, I’m excited.]

[The guests themselves don’t even know it’s deserted island survival, right? I heard they thought it was a travel show and brought several boxes.]

[Leaked photos show that they flew to the border of H City, that’s a real deserted island.]

[Damn, then wouldn’t the universal card be super useful on a deserted island?]

[Won’t it be very dangerous? Nether Island… I heard it’s an undeveloped area.]

[It’s tropical, great, at least it won’t be cold.]

[It’s just not cold during the day, it’s especially freezing at night. (ip.H City)]

[I heard on Nether Island, you wear short sleeves at noon and down jackets at night, is it true?]

[Is torturing the artists like this really OK? There are girls too.]

[What about the girls, the dangerous places that Wen Goddess has been to are more than the meals you have eaten!!]

–

At this time, the guests who were already on the plane did not know the dangers ahead.

“Ingenious, intelligent, courageous and resourceful, IQ and action power are both at the top!”

“One sentence.”

“Like stars piercing through the fog, one glance reveals the secrets of heaven.”

“Continue.”

“Breaking through three levels in a row and being able to predict traps, this insight is super powerful.”

“It’s okay, let’s stop here for today.” Fu Yang twirled a black card in his hand elegantly, with gold-stamped patterns on it, writing the three characters “Universal Card.”

And Xu Chengyue, sitting next to him, couldn’t help but purse his lips and smile at his stinky and proud look.

“No problem, Hero Shangguan. The little one will carefully prepare tomorrow’s praise.”

Here, everything was happy and joyful. Behind them, the little red-hair was crying miserably, hitting the back of the chair in front of him with his head.

“Didn’t they say it was a travel variety show, why is it so difficult? Boohoo, the comments must be scolding me for being a fool.”

“It’s really embarrassing to make a little idiot participate in reasoning and puzzle-solving games.”

Zhou Qingqing had no internet on his phone, and the firepower of the very dissatisfied internet addict was now at level 10.

“Zhou Qingqing!!”

On the other side, Ye Xiao suddenly opened his eye mask and said horizontally, “What’s all the noise about?”

Hao Yun immediately shut up and didn’t dare to speak.

“Hey, Mom, I’m already on the plane, it’s okay, I’m not tired. Desert island survival? Uncle Qian said that I just need to go through the motions, don’t worry~”

Lu Baoyu laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, and his sweet voice drilled straight into people’s brains.

But Ye Xiao dared to be tough on Hao Yun, but he didn’t dare to say anything to this real young master.

Hao Yun threw himself into Zhou Qingqing’s arms and howled softly, pointing at Ye Xiao and complaining about bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Qing Sha and Wen Jingxin were sitting together, and unfortunately happened to be behind Lu Baoyu.

She was woken up and blinked her eyes in a daze, then hid in her scarf.

“Earplugs.”

Wen Jingxin took out a brand-new box from her large and small tool pockets and handed it to her.

“I-I can’t we-wear, these.” Qing Sha said softly.

Wen Jingxin didn’t ask her why either. The next second, she kicked forward directly.

“Quiet.”

Lu Baoyu, wearing shoes, climbed onto the seat and knelt down, revealing a small head behind him. “Sister, did I disturb you? But can you be more ladylike? It’s so impolite to kick someone else’s chair…”

Wen Jingxin coldly raised her eyes and stared at him.

Her short hair only reached her chin, and the crisp and neat ends of her hair were as sharp as knives, making her look even more cold and ruthless. Her slightly vertical pupils made her appear a bit more beastly.

Enveloped by the gaze of being hunted, Lu Baoyu trembled all over, dared not make any more trouble, and slowly shrank back.
