The vigilance on Fang Yao’s face finally subsided, but he still pulled her towards him. “Thank you.”
The young man did not mind. He took out a Rubik’s Cube from the side and handed it to Fang Yao. “I’m a staff member here. If you’re interested, you can go up and try. There are small prizes for the first place.”
Seeing that the young man’s attitude was so good, Fang Yao could not say anything. He took the Cube. He had played with this kind of thing before and vaguely remembered the Cube’s formula. Just as he was about to perform in front of Yuan Xiao, he saw that she had already restored the Cube.
“Xiao Xiao, so you’ve played the Cube too,” Fang Yao said.
“No.” Yuan Xiao waved her cell phone. “I searched the Cube formula online just now.”
The young man beside her also heard their conversation and could not believe it. “Miss, is this your first time touching the Cube?”
Less than a minute after he handed it over, she had already solved it. How was this possible?
“It’s my first time.” Yuan Xiao messed up the Cube in her hand again and solved it.
During the process, the technique was obviously different from her first time.
Through the formula she had just seen, she deduced many other ways of solving it in her heart. This Cube was quite interesting. It was not bad to relieve boredom.
“It seems that Miss has some talent in the Cube. You’re playing with the most common Cube. The Cube actually has other levels. The lowest is Level 2.” As the young man spoke, he took out several Cubes from the side. There were smaller ones and large ones.
“The larger the Cube, the more difficult it is.” The young man put down the small Cube in his hand and took back the largest Cube. “This Cube is a 21-a-side Cube. The current world record is five and a half hours.’
Yuan Xiao’s gaze landed on the large Rubik’s cube in the young man’s hand, and her interest was piqued.
Fang Yao looked at her staring at the young man and felt a little jealous. He hugged Yuan Xiao’s waist, wanting to declare his sovereignty. “Xiao Xiao, I’ll teach you when we get back.”
Only then did Yuan Xiao realize that she had indeed stared at the young man for too long. She pinched Fang Yao in amusement. “Do you want a prize?”
[Ding! Sensing the host’s will, an intermediate mission has been triggered. You have broken the record of the third-stage Rubik’s Cube in this competition and obtained 100 points.]
“Little 7, can the current mission still be triggered according to my thoughts?” This sudden system voice shocked Yuan Xiao. She thought that if it was not triggered at the beginning, it would not be triggered later.
She only wanted to participate in the competition because she was very interested in the Cube. She did not expect the system to sense her wishes and trigger an intermediate mission.
However, it seemed that when the system reached Advanced Mode, not all high-level missions would appear. Occasionally, intermediate missions would appear.
[That’s right, Host. The system is becoming more and more intelligent. Not only is it issuing missions according to the system’s thoughts, but it will also occasionally issue missions according to the host’s wishes. However, don’t worry, Host. It’s not prying into your psychological privacy. It’s just detected according to the data.]
Yuan Xiao nodded. It was not strange for the system to feel that she had made it so obvious. However, it just so happened that she wanted to participate as well. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Fang Yao looked at the young man. “If we break your record, what’s the reward?”
He noticed Yuan Xiao’s interest and did not want to dampen her spirits.
However, since he was participating, he naturally had to go for the greatest.
The young man clearly did not expect the two of them to be so ambitious. He said excitedly, “Currently, the fastest time is 4.87 seconds. No one has broken it yet, but if you break it, we will give you a 21-a-side Rubik’s Cube.” Fang Yao snorted. “We can buy the 21-step Rubik’s Cube ourselves.”
The young man’s lips curled up slightly as he continued, “It’s pure gold.”
Fang Yao fell silent. He looked at Yuan Xiao. “Do you like it?”
However, very few girls would like gold. After all, it was a little tacky.
He was also prepared for Yuan Xiao to lose interest, but he did not expect Yuan
Xiao’s eyes to light up. “I like it a lot.”
Gold was equivalent to money, and money was Yuan Xiao’s favorite thing. Therefore, it was equivalent to Yuan Xiao liking gold. How could she not like this prize?
It seemed that this was not a small competition organized by some merchant. It was probably organized by this huge mall. Otherwise, it would not be so generous..
