"I think she noticed the fireplace," Glepnir said.
Angor already used his God's View to show the box inside the fireplace, so everyone knew that the last box was inside the fireplace.
Everyone was worried when Jeanne walked past the fireplace several times without checking it. When they saw Jeanne's gaze, they all sighed in relief.
In the image, Jeanne stared at the fireplace for a while and walked toward it.
She had already checked everything in the hall. The fireplace was the only thing she had yet to check.
She always ignored the fireplace because of the fire inside. She didn't think a puzzle or gem would be placed inside the fire. But now, she couldn't find anything strange, so she could only look at the fireplace.
There was a tea set placed on the fireplace. She checked both inside and out and found nothing.
Inside the fireplace, there was a burning firewood. It had been burning for a while, and she could see the red, scorched wood.
Jeanne carefully observed the fire and the firewood. In the end, she confirmed that there were no puzzles or gems around the firewood.
"Crouch down, little Jeanne!"
"Don't leave just because you didn't find anything. Look closer. It's inside the fireplace!"
"You can't see it standing. You have to crouch down or lie down! Princess Jeanne, you're going to kill me! "
"Ugh, it's right in front of us. Can't you see it?"
Anxious voices could already be heard from the surrounding bunny buildings.
Glepnir frowned and spoke to Angor, "You shouldn't have shown us the image of the last box. Why don't they put themselves in Jeanne's shoes? Would they notice the box in the fireplace right away? Now they're all full of themselves after using the Eye of Heaven. "
Angor chuckled but didn't say anything. Among the surrounding voices, there was indeed a small portion of them that said, "I can do it too." However, most of them were anxious and sighing. This was actually a normal reaction.
Besides, their voices wouldn't reach Jeanne's ears anyway, so there was no need to pay attention to them.
Compared to these trivial details, Angor was more concerned about whether Jeanne could find the box quickly. If she couldn't find it, maybe he would have to help her find it.
Perhaps the gazes of the crowd were too intense, to the point that this intense worry pierced through the dimensional barrier and turned into inspiration. It was transmitted to Jehanne, who was deep in thought by the fireplace.
In the image, Jeanne suddenly realized something. She looked at the trapezoid-shaped fireplace on the wall with a hesitant look.
The person who created the level didn't hide something in the fireplace, did he?
But the fireplace should be smooth... there's nothing hidden here …
Although she had doubts in her heart, Jehanne still had a trace of hope. She slowly squatted down, tilted her head, and looked up at the flue above the fireplace from a sidelong glance.
.. and Jeanne was was was was wasn't it?
The inner wall of the flue was indeed flat. However, in the grayish-black inner wall that had been burnt by the flames, there was a clean brick that looked like it was newly replaced.
Moreover, there were obvious cracks near this clean brick. All these details indicated that there was something wrong with this brick!
"That's it!" Jeanne's eyes lit up. Her instinct told her that the thing she was looking for was hidden behind the brick.
A puzzle or a gem?
Outside the image, the people in the bunny building cheered. Jeanne didn't know what was inside, but they already knew that the box behind the brick contained the final piece of the puzzle and the final gem.
Jeanne found the box and fixed all the missing pieces of the secret door.
She was going to clear the level!
A smile appeared on Gleipnir's face. After all, Jehanne was her good friend's junior. She was happy to see Jehanne pass … Although it was only the first level of the Small Treasure Pagoda, it was good that she passed.
"I think there's a password lock on the box, right?" Laplace looked at Angor and asked, "I don't think I saw anything about it. Is it difficult?"
Some of the boxes here also had password locks, but most of them only had to be on the box itself to find out the password.
The black box in the fireplace, on the other hand, had no password, but it had a password lock. Laplace wondered where the password was.
Gleipnir also looked at Angor. She was also curious if Jeanne could solve the final password.
Angor smiled. "The password for the box isn't hard."
Or rather, all the locks on the first level of Mini Treasure Tower weren't difficult. They didn't require complicated calculations. Instead, they needed clues and ingenious ideas to figure out the password.
"The password is the location of the box," Angor said.
Gleipnir asked, "Where is the box? Are you referring to the flue? "
"To be precise, the password is — above the flame."
He paused to give everyone some time to think before continuing, "The outer shell of the box is painted with a special paint. Once it gets close to the flame and gets burned, the password will be revealed."
The password for the box was simple and straightforward. Just put it on the flame and it would show up. No calculations were needed.
"However, although the password is given very directly, there is also a difficulty. That is, you must not extinguish the flame to retrieve the box."
"The box is placed in the flue above the fireplace. Normally, you'd put out the flame first, then break open the brick to get the box. But once you put out the flame, it'll be hard to light it up again. There's no fire starter in the room — "
Before Angor could finish, Gleipnir pointed at the screen and said, "I think she put out the fire already."
In the screen, Jeanne put out the fire "normally". When the temperature in the fireplace dropped a little, she reached into the brick to get the box.
The whole process took five minutes.
When she took out the box, all she saw was a pitch-black password box without any hints.
Everyone fell silent. Jeanne put out the fire. What should they do now?
"Is Princess Jeanne going to stop here? She's only one step away! "
"Is there really no way to start the fire?"
"I remember when I was a kid, I used to drill wood to start a fire."
"Your father's a hunter, so it's normal that he knows how to drill wood. But Jeanne's a princess. How can she learn such a crude skill?"
"You're the one who's crude. There's no such thing as crude! Besides, Princess Jeanne's a famous adventurer. She's much better at surviving in the wild than we are. Of course she knows how to drill wood. "
At this time, the crowd had already started to argue with each other with "true feelings".
Hearing the noise that gave him a headache, Gleipnir couldn't help but say, "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you all into the circus to perform."
In an instant, the surroundings quieted down. Only the new residents near the windows gathered together to discuss in whispers.
When most of the noise died down, Gleipnir looked at Angor. "Is Jeanne stuck?"
Angor shook his head. "Not really."
Gleipnir's eyes lit up. "So there's a way to start a fire?"
"There are only two ways. First, you have supernatural power and can set fire with your bare hands. But obviously, Jeanne can't do that yet. "
"The second way is to drill wood, which someone mentioned before. But that's not easy."
Drilling wood to start a fire was not difficult, but it depended on the wood.
There was a big difference between dry wood and wet wood.
When Jeanne tried to put out the fire, she poured all the water in a half-man-tall vase into the fireplace.
There was still a layer of water inside the fireplace, which made it difficult to start a fire. The best way was to dry the wood and try it out slowly.
However, it would take a lot of time to drill wood to start a fire after it was dried.
Besides, Jeanne did not know that the fire was the key to revealing the box's password. If they wasted too much time, they might not be able to solve the puzzle before the countdown ended.
"If that's the case, why did you say it's not a problem?" Gleipnir was confused.
Angor did not explain. Instead, he asked Gleipnir to watch the livestream.
On the screen, Jeanne had already started to solve the puzzle.
She was trying to solve it without any hint.
Gleipnir observed carefully and understood why Angor said "no problem". The lock was a three-digit combination.
There was no limit to the number of times the lock could be tested.
She only needed to try the numbers one by one, at most, a thousand times to figure it out.
Using the exhaustive method to test the password and drilling wood to crack the password hint, in the current situation, it was obvious that the former was faster. Considering the time they had left, Jeanne could solve the problem before the countdown ended even if she used her feet to turn the password one by one.
This was why Angor said that she was not stuck.
This was only the first level of Mini Treasure Tower, after all. There were few restrictions. As long as they could pass, they could use some stupid methods.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like their worries were unnecessary.
Since Jeanne kept trying to solve the puzzle using an exhaustive method, Angor closed the Mini Treasure Tower livestream and switched to Sunshine Circus.
The Sunshine Circus Instance Dungeon was also in full swing at this moment.
Angor combined the livestream with the circus to show everyone the cruelty of the Wonderland dungeon, so that the new residents would not become arrogant after watching the first level of Mini Treasure Tower.
As expected, the new residents of the Bunny Building all fell into fear and silence after watching the terrible singing performance and the horrible events in the livestream.
Luckily, the Sunshine Circus did not last long. Angor only watched for 15 minutes before he switched to Mini Treasure Tower.
After a lot of hard work and luck, Jeanne finally figured out the password: 222.
When the box was opened, the jigsaw and gemstones inside were revealed.
Jeanne exhaled deeply and placed the jigsaw and gemstones on the only door in the room.
When all the jigsaw and gemstones were in place, a string of data appeared in front of Jeanne's eyes.
Angor captured the stream of data and made sure there was no sensitive information. He then displayed the information on the "screen" of the livestream room.
[Congratulations: Level 1 of Mini Treasure Tower]
[Time taken: 45 minutes. ]
[Rewards will be distributed soon. Please choose: Accumulate or claim. ]
[Accumulate: You can put your reward into your personal reward pool. You will not be able to claim your reward until you clear a higher level. Rewards will change as you accumulate them. The more levels you clear, the better your reward pool will be, and the better your reward will be. ]
[Claim: Claim your reward directly. After claiming your reward, you will use up one chance to challenge Mini Treasure Tower. ]
Both choices were easy to understand. In Jeanne's opinion, accumulating rewards was the best option.
Since she was going to challenge Mini Treasure Tower, it would be an insult to her reputation as an adventurer if she only cleared one level.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Jehanne chose to accumulate rewards.
After confirming her choice, a new stream of data appeared in Jeanne's mind.
[You have entered reward accumulation mode. ]
[You have two choices: Leave temporarily or continue the challenge. (Leaving temporarily will not reduce your challenge chances. However, the challenger will be "ready for battle" and cannot leave Silver Coral Island.)]
Jeanne was already prepared to continue the challenge.
She did not expect that the Mini Treasure Tower could be stopped temporarily.
This was a good thing for Jeanne.
Continuous challenges would lead to fatigue. She was not tired yet, but a little rest was good enough.
More importantly, she already heard Angor's voice in her ears. "Choose to leave temporarily."
She was curious as to how Angor knew the information in her head, but she did not ask. She nodded and left as Angor instructed.
After confirming her choice, the door opened, revealing a glowing exit.
Jeanne stepped forward and returned to the outside world.
She also saw Mei Ji, who was looking at her with a smile.
"Congratulations, you passed the trial of Mini Treasure Tower," Mei Ji spoke to Jeanne with a smile.
Jeanne lowered her head in embarrassment. "It's only the first level. And I tested the last combination one by one."
Mei Ji grinned. "The process is not important as long as you can pass."
Jeanne scratched her ears. "You're right. By the way, Miss Mei Ji, have you been outside? Waiting for me to come out? "
Mei Ji nodded. "Yes. As the first challenger to enter Mini Treasure Tower, and a kind girl at that, I've decided to give you a special reward."
"A special reward?" Jeanne looked at Mei Ji in surprise.
