After drinking this cup of coffee, Feng Bujue realized that his Stamina Points had recovered significantly. It looked like part of the 'food' in the scenario had a hidden recovery function.
"Looks like … the snacks sold at the market are not purely to satisfy the players' appetite or to make them look cool." Feng Bujue looked at his status in the game menu and mumbled to himself, "But snacks don't have any description. Which kind of food has which kind of non-obvious property, I'll have to test it out myself in the scenario …"
As he said that, he took out a bag of beef jerky from his pocket. Feng Bujue had bought this bag of stuff together with the other tools at the convenience store near the testing area. When he was counting the items in the bathroom, he did not include this in his inventory.
At the time, he had bought this bag of snacks because he needed to act dumb. At the time, Brother Jue's true identity as a professional gamer had not been exposed. He did not want to tell his teammates that he had bought a bunch of useful tools, so he had bought a bag of snacks as a cover.
Perhaps it was a rule in the scenario, but even after the baptism of the waterfall, none of the items that he did not put in his inventory were lost. When Feng Bujue got out of the bathtub, all the items were still in his pocket.
"Will the bad luck cause me to choke to death while eating snacks?" After Feng Bujue opened the bag, he was reminded of this question. However, he did not dwell on it. He shrugged and put the beef jerky into his mouth.
As he munched on the snack, his mind was thinking about the content on pages 599 to 602. "This is my memory space. Other than the puzzles added by the system, everything here should be simulated from my memory. In other words … the words in this book, including the contents of the astronomy book that I was reading earlier, were originally things in my mind …"
Feng Bujue turned his gaze back to the bookshelf and thought to himself, My memory is not bad. Most of the things that I've seen will leave an impression on me, and in this space, even the information that only exists in my subconscious should be able to be reconstructed …
At this time, Feng Bujue had already gobbled up half a bag of beef jerky. He glanced at the game menu, and as expected, his Life Points had increased by 5%. Even though it was not much, it was an additional recovery. Including this period of adjustment, Feng Bujue's Stamina Points had reached forty-two percent, and he was basically out of danger.
Seeing this, he simply raised his head and swallowed the remaining beef jerky in one gulp. Then, he got up and walked to the kitchen.
He threw the bag into the trash can, washed his hands, and dried them with a towel.
Then, he went to the bookshelf and picked a book. It was a book about botany that he rarely read.
"Hmm … as expected." Feng Bujue flipped to the second half of the book, but the words that appeared in front of him were all blurry and indistinct.
He flipped the book to the front again. The table of contents was normal, and he could see everything clearly. But when he flipped to the official chapters, he could only see bits and pieces of information, and most of it was blurry.
"Things that I have completely forgotten or information that I have not read before cannot be reconstructed." Feng Bujue closed the book and turned back to look at The Complete Detective Sherlock Holmes that was placed on the coffee table. "I can remember the content of Sherlock Holmes, and it was very detailed, so the whole book can be reconstructed." He lowered his head and read, "Since it is information that I already know, then the game prompt for me to look at the words from 599 to 602 is not for me to read the content of the book, but …"
He returned to the sofa and flipped open the thick book again. "When I was searching the house, I treated my own home as an unfamiliar environment, and that was how I made the breakthrough. So now … I shouldn't treat this book as a detective novel that I've read before. Instead, I should treat it as a pure game clue. "
After changing his train of thought, Feng Bujue picked up the book. He picked up pages 599 to 600 and shone the flashlight on them. "Hmm … The words don't seem to have changed after the light shone on them." He tried to turn the book upside down and turn it to the side, but he could not see anything different.
"Soaking it in water or roasting it in fire is an irreversible test," he mumbled. "The paper is not that thick, so the chance of there being a hidden layer in the middle is not high."
Once a puzzle player reached a dead end, it was best to take a step back to see if there was any information that he had missed or to find a new path.
Therefore, Feng Bujue listed out the items that he had obtained after entering the scenario but had not used them. "The items that I obtained in the testing room and have not used are … a foldable knife, a lighter, a Nokia, and … a match?"
With that in mind, he took out the match and placed it before his eyes. "The combination of a Nokia and a knife can be used to start a fire. Using the phone's lithium battery can be used to start a fire … but on a superficial level, the two items that have the same function are undoubtedly the lighter and the match."
With that in mind, Feng Bujue picked up the lighter and tapped on its gear. A small flame sprang up. "Hmm … it's still working." That was within his expectations because he had taken the item out of his inventory in the bathroom. Even if it had malfunctioned due to being soaked in water earlier, there was no such problem now.
"In this room, there are many ways to start a fire. There is a gas stove and so many wires. I can use the food in the fridge to create a fire." Feng Bujue thought. "Since the lighter is here, it has lost its' uniqueness'. But … what about matches? "His eyes rested on the matches again." Apart from lighting a fire, it seems to have something to do with the 'match puzzle'... "The puzzle he was referring to was something like" moving a matchstick in a graph to make both sides of an equation hold ".
"Hmm … it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the puzzle before me." He was about to put down the match when he suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute … this is the match that the 'little match girl' had. Could it be …"
As we all know, in that fairy tale, whenever the little girl lit a match, she could combine it with the scenery around her and see a beautiful illusion … "
A new hypothesis sprouted in Feng Bujue's mind. He immediately got up and turned off the lights in the living room. He returned to the sofa and sat down. He opened the book to page 600 and opened it. He took a deep breath and held the match in his hand. "I hope it won't go to waste …"

Feng Bujue drew the match on the rough surface of the coffee table and lit the plot item.
The moment the fire lit up, a three-dimensional image immediately appeared on the opened page of the book. Feng Bujue, on the other hand, was like a spectator who was in the scene. In his ears, the sound of the waterfall echoed …
