Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1470: Chapter 798: Multidimensional World No. 136 (Part 2)

”Are the Black and Asian people not coming?” Qing Chen asked.

”The Black and Asian people are busy making a living, they don’t have time for entertainment.”

Qing Chen asked, ”What’s the highest record for passing levels?”

FFF flipped through his notes: ”66 levels, then the rule is after 88 levels, for every level passed, you get extra progress points, 10 points, only the first time passing counts. Entirely completing it grants a power-up reward, all Multidimensional Worlds are the same.”

”Let’s go, have a look,” Qing Chen said.

At this time, Qing Chen felt the AI bringing him to the 136th Multidimensional World wasn’t with good intentions. His greatest advantage shown in the Superconductor World was actually combat ability.

But the other side suddenly told him about a Multidimensional World where combat abilities were useless and only brainpower could be used...

Wasn’t that obviously setting him up for failure?

However, a mischievous AI like this doesn’t seem to have bad intentions.

Those truly sinister types, they are the ones who smile on the surface but harbor malice beneath. They treat you exceptionally well at first, like their words are coated with honey, but secretly stab you behind your back.

The ones who openly set traps for you, letting you know they’re doing it, don’t seem so bad in comparison.

At most, they’re just a bit bad-tempered...

Qing Chen lined up with the others, each person using a key to enter the secluded country villa, and FFF whispered, ”Boss, should I follow in?”

”Follow and brush up on some points,” Qing Chen responded.

After opening the villa with the key, the layout inside changed completely, and the people who entered earlier were nowhere to be seen. It seemed they had been assigned to other levels; in the room with Qing Chen and FFF, only 8 people were left.

Aside from the two of them, there were three men and three women, indicating that this escape room was still a team collaboration instance.

Everyone looked around the room, spotting several bloody handprints on the walls and a sentence written in blood: ”15 minutes, if you can’t find a way out, your souls will be left here with me forever.”

The three timid girls shrank into their respective boyfriend’s arms.

Qing Chen thought to himself... no wonder these people brought their girlfriends to this instance, it indeed is a place to enhance relationships.

The boys whispered comforting words: ”It’s okay, I’m here, don’t be afraid!”

The three couples were all cozy, showing no intention of searching for clues.

Qing Chen walked around the room and found another door, which had a combination lock with four digits. It seemed they needed to find the hint for the combination to get out.

On the other side, while the boys were still comforting the girls in whispers, Qing Chen had already entered the combination into the lock: 6, 3, 1, 7.

Click, the door opened.

Qing Chen and FFF plunged into the next level without looking back...

Everyone else stood there in a daze...

FFF, shocked, followed Qing Chen closely: ”Boss, how did you know the password? This level seems not to be in the guides. It’s said that the 136th Multidimensional World consists of 333 levels randomly selected from 66,666 levels. The order in which each person passes through isn’t the same.”

”It’s simple,” Qing Chen calmly said: ”Upon entering, in a clockwise direction, the first thing related to numbers is the six pairs of shoes in the shoe cabinet, then three coats on the rack, a wash basin, and seven tulips. Actually, escape rooms aren’t that difficult; just summarize and organize all the information inside.”

FFF was stunned for a moment, thinking, is the escape room really this simple?

Qing Chen said: ”There are three principles for escape rooms. The first principle is to simplify your thinking, a 10-year-old child’s mindset is most suitable for solving escape rooms. The second principle is not to overlook any useful information. The third principle is to overturn past perceptions. You see a key on the table, traditionally a key is used to open doors, but in an escape room, it might very well be a tool to activate a mechanism. So, breaking traditional perception is the key.”

FFF was thoughtful, it seemed quite simple, maybe he could pass the levels too.

At the second level, they faced a square tin room with a floor made up of 81 tiles, the door was on the opposite side. It seemed like they had to step on the correct tiles to pass through safely.

If a wrong tile was stepped on, it would immediately fall away.

Above the door frame on the opposite side, there was also an electronic clock with a countdown of 30 seconds.

Next to the clock, there was a nine-digit addition and subtraction problem with 81 consecutive additions and subtractions, meaning they had to calculate it all in 30 seconds without tools, and the resulting number would correspond to the sequence of the tiles to step on.

FFF stood in a daze for a while, thinking this has nothing to do with clues!

A boy said, ”Why are we facing this already at the second level? Calculating a nine-digit number with 81 additions and subtractions in 30 seconds is impossible, so unlucky, it’s one of the hardest levels.”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qing Chen already said, ”Follow me and jump.”

The next moment, Qing Chen started leaping across the tiles in the room without hesitation, finally reaching the exit and unlocking the door...

Everyone was stunned, it had only been about 15 seconds, did he calculate it that quickly?!

Qing Chen said, ”236586314, jump in that order, quickly.”

FFF conceded and held onto Qing Chen’s leg tightly.

With such a powerful figure, why bother thinking, just follow through the levels!

...

An hour later.

Someone in the city casually browsing through the leaderboard scrolled back to the record for the 136th Multidimensional World.

”Huh,” he asked the person next to him: ”Is my memory power failing me, wasn’t it said that the 136th Multidimensional World record was 66 levels? How did it suddenly become 71 levels?”

”It is 66 levels, no mistake, I stopped at 20 levels myself,” the person beside him replied.

”Someone passed 71 levels now, and I see the time, it only took 62 minutes, the speedrun challenge timer is still counting, meaning they’re still there!” the man said excitedly. ”The record-holder... wow, seven people? Seven people reached 71 levels at the same time?!”

Bear in mind that the standard team size for the 136th Multidimensional World instance is 7 people, meaning they reached this level without losing anyone.

”The first place in passing is already starting to receive points rewards, let me see who it is... J? Why does that sound so familiar,” the man pondered.

”J? Isn’t that the newly-rising White Light Person who’s been so popular these days!” a girl said. ”Let me see... no doubt, the speedrun challenge team also has that FFF, this FFF is the one helping J sell autographs! Wow, J is back in action, challenging the 136th Multidimensional World!”

As they were speaking, the passing record leaped from 71 to 72!

Less than a minute on average to clear one level, this isn’t an escape room run, they’re just taking a stroll!

This news immediately spread online, with countless people opening their portable LCD panels, watching as the passing records were refreshed again and again.

Before 100 minutes had even passed, the record had already reached 121 levels.

Someone murmured: ”Wait, they’re not going to clear all 333 levels in one go today, are they?!”

Out of 365 Multidimensional Worlds, only about sixty of them have been cleared to date, showing that clearing one is an incredibly difficult feat.

No matter when, if a Multidimensional World is cleared by someone, it’s a remarkable phenomenon.

In the Superconductor World, nearly everyone idle started witnessing the event unfold.

Everyone watched quietly: ”Wait, it’s already 162 levels, and the speed hasn’t stopped... wait, J’s points have already entered the monthly top 10,000!”

In the Superconductor World, with tens of millions of people, entering the top 10,000 is enough to become famous, and if a new face appears on this list, it might even get media coverage.

Perhaps not even the AI expected that its casual remark would lead Qing Chen to discover a highway to racking up points!

Just then someone suddenly said: ”They’ve stopped, it’s been 10 minutes and the progress hasn’t changed! Did they hit a wall?”
