Chapter 100 The Secret of the Treasure 26
After Qin Shiyu asked how to get down, the others expressed doubts. Jian Cang leaned against the balcony railing and looked down, "This symbolizes the exit. There is no place to leave here."
Ye Yuanyu didn't agree with his thought, "According to the program team’s habit, we are to leave from here since they led us here. Maybe there is some mechanism?"
Shu Hua glanced downstairs and shuddered, "They won't make us jump from here, right"
Jiang Yu had the same idea as Ye Yuanyu, so she carefully observed the things around her. Then she noticed a one-meter-high iron cabinet placed in the middle of the balcony. Of course, what caught her attention wasn't the cabinet itself, but the red button on the side of the cabinet. Xiang Chen noticed the button. He squatted down like Jiang Yu and read the words next to the button: "Don't press it if there’s nothing."
As soon as he finished studying, Jiang Yu stretched out her finger and pressed it.
Xiang Chen:......
【Hahaha, here comes the rebellious Jiang Yu who does whatever she isn't allowed to do. 】
【How does she do bad things with such a well behaved face? 】
After pressing the button, the iron cabinet suddenly started to move. Everyone was startled. They took a few steps back and discovered the mystery of the cabinet. This wasn't a cabinet at all. A part of the mechanism slowly rose to the balcony fence. Then like a trebuchet, it popped out. A long white cloth bag unfolded and dropped from the balcony on the fourth floor to the ground. A one-meter-square exit appeared in front of them.
The non-rising part of the iron cabinet became a simple step.
It was obvious that this was the passage to leave.
Everyone was knowledgeable. Ye Yuanyu said, "High-altitude vertical escape slide."
Xiang Chen raised his hand and touched the device, "It should be very safe."
Curious, Jian Cang stepped on the simple stairs to go up two steps, looked down and then quickly stepped back, "Understanding the theory is one matter, putting it in practice is another matter. This is more than ten meters. I am afraid."
Shu Hua held Jiang Yu's arm, "Bigshot, are you afraid?"
Jiang Yu nodded, "A little bit."
Then the group discussed who should go first. Qin Shiyu wanted to go first. For him who liked extreme sports, this was child's play. Everyone stopped him.
Shu Hua said, "We will feel less safe if you go down, so you go down last."
Qin Shiyu glanced at Jiang Yu, who nodded. She couldn't deny that even if Qin Shiyu was dawdling around, his presence made people feel at ease.
A twinkle appeared in Qin Shiyu's eyes. He calmly stepped aside and waited for them to get off first.
However, these people didn't let Qin Shiyu get off first nor did they dare to be the first one. As they were mutually giving way to each other, they heard the director downstairs holding a loudspeaker and saying, "The first person to come down can get 7 points. The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh place will respectively receive 6 points, 5 points... 1 point. Points will be deducted for those who fail to come down after five minutes."
As soon as these words came out, the situation on the balcony immediately changed drastically. Everyone rushed forward.
The audience couldn’t stop laughing:
【Hahahahaha, when it comes to scoring, math top students are omnipotent. 】
【Elder Sister Yu is too hilarious. The others are listening to the director while she hears the words "first person to come down" and rushes over. 】
【At the sound of points, Elder Sister Yu is like a hungry wolf smells blood amd gets up in the morning for the exam. 】
Xiang Chen, who was closest to the entrance of the slide, looked at Jiang Yu who suddenly appeared and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Aren't you scared?"
Jiang Yu carefully stepped on the steps and held the entrance to the passage, "Poverty is even more frightening."
Before Xiang Chen caught on to what she meant, others had already begun to fight for the order to go on. Jian Cang jumped in front of him and asked in perplexion, "It’s nearly over, why are we collecting points?"
Shu Hua, who was trying to squeeze in, was equally confused, "Yes, why do you need to earn points?"
The barrage was full of hahaha:
【You guys started fighting without even knowing the reason? 】
【It’s a common sickness among top students. No matter what the reason is, hearing about the competition for points and fighting is the right way. 】
Jiang Yu sat down at the entrance of the slide according to the instructions on the side, "The director of the last episode said that the ace investigators will be selected based on the number of points."
Only then did everyone remember that this happened, Jian Cang wailed, "I thought the points were useless, like completely no use."
Xiang Chen was stunned for a moment before speaking with a smile, "Me too."
As he said that, he moved Shu Hua, who was cooing and squeezing in next to him, behind him.
Jiang Yu was already ready and smiled sweetly at them. "Ace investigator, the salary and performance will be doubled."
After saying that, she jumped down.
Everyone:...
Xiang Chen stepped forward and shouted directly at the entrance of the passage, "Don't run so fast if you have the ability!"
The audience saw the lump in the white cloth bag being a little slow at first and then speeding up.
【Hahahahaha, Elder Sister Yu, the crisis in the Shura field has been resolved and you’re being mischief starts again. 】
【How can she be so cute. 】
【Speaking of which, I have long forgotten the content of the last episode. It has been more than a week. Who can remember it. 】
【Didn’t Jiang Yu remember it? 】
【That's right! My Elder Sister Yu isn't only a foodie, but also a money addict. 】
The high-altitude vertical slide was indeed not that scary. Jiang Yu felt like she was being wrapped up and falling steadily, which was quite fun. After landing, she felt someone starting to slide down from above. She immediately ran to the director's side.
Encouraged by the points and Jiang Yu's aggravation, the others quickly came down.
Jiang Yu stood there obediently and smilingly looked at them, making people speechless. However, Ye Yuanyu had a new question, "The last episode said that the person with the most points can become the ace investigator. This time it is said whoever finds the secret of the treasure can become the ace of the investigation. So which one is right?"
The director responded, "Whoever finds the secret of the treasure can get fifty points. This isn't contradictory."
He then asked, "So, what is the secret of the treasure?"
Shu Hua answered at once, "We must unite as one to get the treasure!"
The director shook his head, "No."
Ye Yuanyu said, "Unity is the real treasure."
The director shook his head, "More than that."
Jiang Yu pondered, "Endless learning, perseverance, courage. unity?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone heard the vampire's voice coming from behind them, "Yes, people who have these qualities are the ones who can become more and more powerful. These are the real treasures of Divine Treasure Island! "
Everyone was startled and turned around to see a tall figure walking over. When he took off his mask and cloak, everyone showed surprised expressions. Jian Cang was shocked, "Shop owner."
The shop owner looked at them with a smile.
Shu Hua was confused, "How did you become a vampire?"
The shop owner said, "There are no vampires in this world."
He explained the origin of this treasure, "This so-called treasure is actually designed by a Western rich man in the early years to test his sons. The original intention was to unite his sons so that he could leave the family management to them. Unexpectedly, it end up with internal strife. The rich man was filled with disappointment, so he announced the so-called treasure to the world to attract countless treasure hunters. He wanted to know if anyone could pass this test."
"But unforeseen countless people would die for this."
Jian Cang was horrified when he heard this, "The person who came to hunt for treasure in the past really died?"
The shop owner smiled bitterly, "They all died like Wang Yi, Li Er, and Zhang San. They killed each other because they heard that only one person can get the treasure. Of course, they can't open the entrance if there is only one person left, let alone touching the edges.”
"This is why I found you. In fact, there were people who had successfully found the entrance, but were basically wiped out by suspicion. No one has successfully obtained the wish coin yet."
"However, after letting them go, those people probably got caught in the rain themselves and wanted to see others suffer. The rumors of the treasure on Divine Treasure Island became more and more popular and more and more people died because of it. Seeing that it was getting out of control, I accepted the request entrusted by the descendants of the rich. I stay here to deal with the murders that occur from time to time, while waiting for the person who can successfully solve the mystery to appear."
"Fortunately, you All Rounder Investigation Team lives up to its reputation." The shop owner smiled, "From now on, there will be no more treasures on Divine Treasure Island."
"So, this is the true secret of the treasure on Divine Treasure Island?" Ye Yuanyu said, "The ending of "Approaching Science"."
Everyone couldn’t resist laughing when they heard this.
【Hahaha, this description is very appropriate. All supernatural things were ultimately science. 】
Jiang Yu suddenly took out the gold coins in her bag, "Can this be exchanged?"
The shop owner paused and pretended not to hear, "Looking for the key in the first level is testing her wisdom, courage and resilience. In the second level, you have gained the most precious friendship. Now, you have the priceless treasure in this world.”
Xiang Chen said, "I thought that direction was drawing a cake. Unexpectedly, it is drawing a cake in the end."
【My Elder Sister Yu is so disappointed. She found five hundred gold coins at that time and even specially found a few more to carry out. Hahaha, she never anticipated that it would be useless. 】
The director announced, "You have successfully completed the challenge together and found the secret of the treasure of Divine Treasure Island. Each of you will get fifty points!"
"Now, the person with the most points can get the badge of 'Ace Investigator'. The future performance bonus will be doubled!"
Everyone immediately became energetic. This was the real deal. They immediately started counting their points.
Of course, the one gathered the most was Jiang Yu and Ye Yuanyu. Everyone had the fifty points they just earned. There was no need to calculate this. What they had saved in the past was the main thing. During the key-finding task stage, Xiang Chen, Jian Cang, Shu Hua and Zhou Feifei spent all their points. All they got were the few points for coming down from the fourth floor.
Ye Yuanyu had a lot of points at the beginning. He wasted a dozen on the haunted house with Shu Hua and spent a dozen on forming an alliance with Xiang Chen. Now there were only sixteen left. Plus the three for coming down from upstairs, it was a total of nineteen;
Jiang Yu had more points than him. Although she kept paying points for Shu Hua and Jian Cang later on, they weren't wasted. The remaining twenty plus the seven when coming down first, there were twenty-seven in total.
But... Jiang Yu looked at another thick stack of points in her small bag and looked up at Qin Shiyu.
This person seemed not to care about anything and didn't fight for anything. In fact he made a lot of money. During the task stage, he completed two tasks and got two fragments. After that, no one cooperated with him again. In other words, the total cost of bringing the bicycle with him during the key-finding stage was only fifteen points.
So even if he was the last one to come down, he had twenty-eight points in total.
Just one more than her.
Jiang Yu:……
Qin Shiyu took in her expression, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yu silently took out Qin Shiyu's points from her bag, pulled her bag open and stuffed it directly. She expressionlessly stated, "Twenty-eight. Congratulations, ace investigator. Your salary and performance has been doubled."
【Hahaha, she emphasized that the salary and performance has been doubled. She felt so resentful. 】
【LOL, what’s the difference between this and robbing money from a money lover? 】
Qin Shiyu chuckled, reached out, and took out a handful of the points she had put in. He asked, "How many do you have?"
Jiang Yu said depressedly, "Twenty-seven."
Qin Shiyu smiled, "Reach out your hand."
Jiang Yu vaguely grasped what he meant and couldn't help but be surprised.
Seeing Qin Shiyu looking like he was going to give Jiang Yu points, Zhou Feifei couldn't help but ask, "Why give it to her?"
Qin Shiyu said, "She helped me carry the points for two episodes and gas been helping me with manage the accounts. I don't even know how many points I have. So shouldn't I give some hard-earned money?"
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up. If he put it this way, then this was indeed what she deserved. She immediately stretched out her hand obediently, "Just one."
Anyway, as long as there was one, she would win.
Qin Shiyu directly put all the gold coins he found into her palm, then lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, "Form alliance and share one-third of the salary and performance in the future."
The audience howled in sweetness:
【Are you forming an alliance? More like getting married? 】
【En, is it the kind where the wife gives you private money after getting the salary? 】
【Ahhhhhh ah! ! ! When will you two get married? 】
