Although Headquarters looked like a human, he was not an Earthling after all.
Therefore, when he took something out of his throat, Feng Bujue was not surprised.
"Hehe … Poker Man." Headquarters took out a wooden object that was about the size of a medicine ball. He looked at Feng Bujue and smiled. "Do you know what this is?"
Feng Bujue glanced at the object and replied, "A dodecahedral Rubik's Cube made of wood?"
His description was still quite accurate ….
Indeed, the object that Headquarters took out was basically a dodecahedral Rubik's Cube in terms of structure, and its material did not seem to be any different from wood.
"Hmph … On the surface, it seems so." Headquarters continued, "But in reality …" As he spoke, he held the wooden Rubik's Cube with both of his hands and exerted force.
In an instant, there was a strange creaking sound coming from his palms, and his arms trembled from the exertion of force.
It was obvious that Headquarters used a lot of force, at least enough to crush a lump of metal. However, the "wood" in his hands, the Rubik's Cube that was embedded with rotating grooves, did not show any signs of damage.
"Oh …" Feng Bujue looked at it for a few seconds and replied, "On the surface, it looks like a tool used to train intelligence, but in reality, you used it to train your grip strength, right?" He nodded. "Okay, I think I know why you slept in the park. Do you have anything else?"
Brother Jue just wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible so that he could find a high-level danger zone to farm for equipment and skills.
"Hey, Poker Man, you misunderstood." However, Headquarters did not notice the impatience and sarcasm in his words and continued, "This is not a tool used for training … It is my family heirloom."
"Let me guess …" Feng Bujue took the opportunity to continue, "Did your ancestors leave behind a rule that if a descendant's IQ is not enough to restore this Rubik's Cube, he will not be allowed to inherit the family business and be kicked out to sleep in the park?"
"Pfft …" His joke was quite funny. Even Flea Man, who was more composed, could not help but laugh.
"No, no." However, Headquarters still did not realize that this was a joke. He replied very seriously, "The words left behind by my ancestor are — this is the 'Heavenly Spirit Earthly Fiend Box' given by the 'Great Immortal of the Unorthodox School'. Whoever opens this box will be able to obtain unparalleled martial arts, travel unhindered in the universe, and …"
"Let me see." When he heard the term 'shaman', Feng Bujue's expression shifted slightly. Before the headquarter finished, he reached out his hand and said that. "That's what I'm going to say."
When Brother Jue said "take a look", he didn't just mean "take a look". He wanted the headquarters to hand over the Rubik's Cube to him and then take a look.
This request … the headquarters would not easily agree to it.
After all, this was the family heirloom. It was fine to show it to others, but "handing it over to others for them to see" was another matter altogether.
"What? Are you afraid that I won't return it? " Feng Bujue saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance. He continued, "This is the headquarters of the Yu-Chao Alliance, and there is a very experienced planetary hero standing next to you. Even if I wanted to steal something from you, I wouldn't choose this time and place, right?"
"Uh …" After hearing what he said, Headquarters felt that he was right.
Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, the War God in the park handed his family heirloom to Feng Bujue.
"Oh … I see …" After Feng Bujue took the Rubik's Cube, he looked at it carefully for a moment and said, "Then … where is the martial arts in the box now? Have you learned it? "
"Huh?" Headquarters was taken aback by his question. He replied hesitantly, "Uh … that … this box has never been opened."
"You can't solve it?" Feng Bujue asked straightforwardly.
"Haha …" Headquarters laughed again. "Mr. Poker Man, you might be oversimplifying things. The solution to this box is much more complicated than the usual dodecahedral Rubik's Cube. As you can see … the colors of the twelve sides of the box are all the same. In other words, this is not a device that relies on color like the Rubik's Cube. Instead, it needs to be based on the words carved on the 132 puzzle pieces …"
"Since you haven't solved it, why are you showing it to me?" Feng Bujue did not wait for Headquarters to finish and interrupted, "You want me to help you solve it?"
"Heh … No … No …" Headquarters put on an unfathomable expression and said, "In fact … after generations of research in our family, we've discovered that it doesn't matter even if we don't open the Big Dipper Earthly Fiend Box because the 'outer layer' also contains the principles of martial arts. As long as the words on the surface of the box are combined into a certain combination and move according to the shape and meaning, we can comprehend the corresponding moves from it. And the moves that can be combined like this are almost endless … "He continued in a rather proud tone," To tell you the truth, many of the 'sure-kill moves' in my 'Surreal Style' were comprehended through this box. "
"Oh …" Feng Bujue replied absent-mindedly as he used his nimble fingers to spin the Rubik's Cube in his hand at high speed. "So … you want to study this with me?"
"Haha … that's right," Headquarters said. "I've heard that you're an earthling from a parallel universe, right?" He did not wait for Brother Jue's reply and continued, "I've always heard about the earthlings' achievements in the field of combat, or rather in the field of 'martial arts.' Since the earthlings' combat power is very weak, they have developed countless combat techniques and schools.
"However, it's impossible for me to exchange pointers with the earthlings' martial arts masters. When the difference in strength, speed, and reaction is too great, it's impossible to infer whether the opponent's moves are brilliant or not.
"And the 'martial arts' that is only based on the theoretical level … has limited meaning. It won't improve the actual level by much.
"Fortunately, I've met you now … Mr. Poker Man, from your performance on Planet Park, it's obvious that you're a master. Moreover, you have a physical ability that far surpasses that of the average earthling. You're an ideal martial arts friend."
When Headquarters said this, Feng Bujue's hand suddenly stopped.
Then, with a buzzing sound, the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Box in Brother Jue's hand floated up on its own, and the rotating groove on the box glowed faintly.
"It's done," Feng Bujue said in a very normal tone. "It's unlocked."
His words left Headquarters and Flea Man dumbfounded. They couldn't react for a long time.
Just as the two of them were in a daze, the box unfolded from the inside like a flower …
However, the treasure floated in midair and slowly turned into a flat plane. The 132 pieces of the puzzle moved side by side, causing the entire plane to deform and recombine … In the end, the "Heavenly Dipper Earthly Fiend Box" turned into a pentagonal tablet, and the words on the tablet also gathered into a single piece.
"Uh … What happened?" It was only when Brother Jue handed the tablet back to Headquarters that the latter came back to his senses and asked.
"Didn't I say that I've unlocked the box?" Feng Bujue repeated calmly.
"How … How did you do it?" Headquarters stuttered, and his eyes were full of shock.
"It's not that difficult …" Feng Bujue replied casually, and then explained, "The real difficulty of unlocking your Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Box is not that every piece on the surface has a unique pattern, but … How to find the 'only correct' original arrangement."
He paused for a moment, and then said, "I just confirmed that the names of the thirty-six Heavenly Spirits, the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, and the twenty-four Solar Terms are engraved on the surface of the one hundred and thirty-two small surfaces. Considering that the box is a dodecahedron, and the number of these three types of puzzles is not equal to each other, my first way of restoring it is naturally to distribute these three types of things equally on each surface … In this way, there are three Heavenly Spirits, six Earthly Fiends, and two Solar Terms on each surface, which is exactly eleven pieces.
"Also, during my inspection, I also discovered that … the most central piece of the jigsaw puzzle is a Heavenly Constellation. Apart from the twelve pieces, the remaining twenty-four Heavenly Constellations are all 'corner pieces'. This also gave me greater confidence in the 'equal distribution' conjecture.
"So, with this as my goal, I began to try …"
"The part about the Rubik's Cube is the easiest because I already know how to solve the five-sided Rubik's Cube. In fact, a Rubik's Cube where every piece has a unique pattern is easier to solve than a Rubik's Cube that is classified by color.
"So …"
At this point, Brother Jue had already handed the unlocked Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends Box to HQ. He shrugged and showed a noncommittal expression.
"The riddle that has troubled my family for over a hundred centuries has finally been solved!" Two seconds later, HQ, who did not fully understand Brother Jue's explanation, simply threw those words to the back of his mind. He immediately raised the pentagonal board and roared to the sky.
"What are you yelling for …" At this moment, Feng Bujue was standing less than a meter away from him. The two of them were only separated by a door frame, so Brother Jue's face was covered in saliva. "If you want to yell, yell further away … Don't yell at my door … Hey!"
Before he could finish his sentence, HQ raised his hand and grabbed his shoulder tightly. He said with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Poker Man! I, Tai San, will repay this kindness with my life! "
…
An hour later, at the Yu-Chao Alliance Headquarters, Sweet Wine Park.
At this time, two people were sitting on a bench in the park.
Among them, the one whose whole body was shining was the Tin Foil Man, Kotas Nito.
Of course, he was glowing not because he used any special ability, but because the light in the park was very good …
On the other hand, the man sitting next to the tinfoil paper man had a gloomy expression on his face. His entire person looked gloomy.
Even the tone of his voice was gloomy, "The matter … is more or less like this."
"Haha …" After listening to Feng Bujue's description, the Tin Foil Man immediately laughed, "So … HQ went to participate in the hero level test?"
"Yes." Feng Bujue replied, "He said he wanted to be my assistant, and he looked forward to becoming my partner one day."
"What do you think?" the Tin Foil Man asked again.
"I rejected him on the spot," Feng Bujue replied.
"What did you say to him?"
"F * ck off."
"What I'm asking is … What kind of 'euphemism' did you use to express the meaning of 'f * ck off'?"
"F * ck off."
"Hmm …" The Tin Foil Man decided to bypass this question and said, "Actually, I think this is a good thing. This person from HQ … does have the strength of a planet-level hero. Other than his abnormal obsession with fighting skills, there is nothing unstable about him. If he really wants to be a hero, we, the Yushun Alliance, will definitely welcome him."
"I don't care if he wants to join," Feng Bujue said, "I just don't need any assistant."
"Don't worry about that." The Tin Foil Man replied, "The establishment of a hero's assistant and hero's partner requires both parties to submit an application and pass the review."
"That sounds like a wedding …" Feng Bujue heard that, and the first thing that came out of his mouth was an insult.
"Haha … Yes, almost." The Tin Foil Man laughed, "In fact, many hero's partners eventually developed into a couple."
"Is that so …" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I can't let HQ succeed."
"That's your freedom," the Tin Foil Man said. The Tin Foil Man said, "But … if it were me, I wouldn't discourage him like this." He said in a very amiable tone, "As for me … I would first accept HQ's offer to become my assistant, then guide him on his own path to becoming a hero. When he truly becomes a 'hero,' I would find the right time to remove him from his assistant position. At that time, he would naturally understand my good intentions. "
"Oh, I see …" Feng Bujue heard this and rolled his eyes. "Then, are there any beautiful female heroes in the Alliance who have the same awareness as you … You know, the type who is very beautiful, wears skin-tight clothes that expose their breasts and legs, and has a super hot body … If there is, make a list for me. I have a strong feeling that I need their guidance."
"Hahahaha …" The Tin Foil Man was immediately amused by Brother Jue. "Okay, Brother Poker Man …" He paused, "Jokes aside … To be honest, you and Toad Man are very similar … Even though you will team up with others, you will always attach great importance to your personal space … Because, you both have too many secrets."
The Tin Foil Man's words obviously had a hidden meaning.
Feng Bujue also caught this point very keenly, "I don't understand what you are talking about." He chose to deny it with a cold attitude and threw out a suggestion of a trade, "But … I think I can still accept taking this' newcomer 'from HQ to do a few missions or something."
