Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 238: 165, Apart from Team D, teams A, B, and C were completely wiped out.

Shen Qinghan clamped her legs tightly, bringing her mouth close to Lin Zichen’s ear and whispered almost inaudibly.

She had already been shocked to the point of her consciousness blurring, gradually losing control of her body.

She felt she could no longer control the water inside her body.

It was about to come out.

To avoid wetting her pants in front of everyone, she had no choice but to seek help from Lin Zichen, asking him to finish the level.

“I understand,”

Lin Zichen said and then put Shen Qinghan down.

Afterward, he swiftly moved to the window and took down a piece of glass.

Then, before the countdown ended, he returned in front of the display screen and positioned the glass toward the virtual character on the display.

The aim was to make the virtual character play rock-paper-scissors with its reflection in the mirror, causing a continuous stalemate.

As for whether it would work, Lin Zichen wasn’t sure.

In any case, he would try and see.

If it didn’t work, he would try other methods of cracking it.

Like hacking into the display screen to modify the program.

If that still didn’t work, then he would break through the door by force.

Behind him,

Shen Qinghan and others all widened their eyes, staring closely at the display screen, praying in their hearts that Lin Zichen’s method would surely work.

[New round of rock-paper-scissors begins]

After the countdown ended,

the virtual character on the display raised its hand for rock-paper-scissors against the glass, choosing scissors.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan and the others felt very anxious.

Everyone’s nerves were tense.

They braced themselves for the potential shock.

Soon, a text prompt popped up on the display screen.

[Not bad, it’s a tie]

Simultaneously, the tightly closed iron door automatically moved up by 1 centimeter.

Zhao Yuanzhong: “Did it really work?”

Zhang Kai: “Man, it’s that simple to beat the level? We got shocked for nothing!”

Shangguan Yueying: “Lin Zichen is so smart…”

Shen Qinghan didn’t speak, just slightly furrowed her pretty brows, feeling very annoyed.

If only my observational skills could have been a little better.

Then no one would have had to be shocked so many times just now.

My thinking is still not flexible enough…

Thinking this, Shen Qinghan felt filled with loss.

She realized something, that her difference with Lin Zichen was comprehensive.

Not only was there a gap in combat power, but also in intellect.

The gap was so large she couldn’t see any possibility of catching up.

Lin Zichen noticed Shen Qinghan’s unusual behavior and said soothingly, “Let me do it, the first thing I would have thought of would also be to find a pattern.”

“No one can be sure which method is correct,”

“We can only try one by one.”

After finishing, Lin Zichen added, “Without your attempts, I couldn’t have found the right method to clear the level so quickly.”

“Indeed,”

Shen Qinghan’s face revealed a hint of a smile.

However, this smile seemed somewhat forced, with an appearance of feigning happiness.

She wasn’t foolish; she knew Lin Zichen was comforting her.

The premise of being able to try one by one was having multiple methods to clear the level.

But she, from beginning to end, had only thought of one method to find a pattern, without even the opportunity to try and fail.

[Not bad, it’s a tie]

[…]

[Not bad, it’s a tie]

[…]

[Not bad, it’s a tie]

As these text prompts flashed across the screen, the initially sealed iron door had now opened a gap over 30 centimeters wide.

Lin Zichen and the others seeing this, squeezed through one after the other, successfully breaking through the second level.

They quickly walked up the stairs.

They arrived at the third floor.

Just like when they went up to the second floor, as soon as they entered, they saw a display screen on the wall.

It showed the progress of each team in clearing the levels.

Lin Zichen stepped forward to check and found that teams A, B, and C hadn’t cleared it yet and were still tackling the third challenge.

The other four also crowded around to look.

Among them, Zhao Yuanzhong was quite surprised, “They still haven’t cleared it?”

Shangguan Yueying frowned, “I remember when we just entered the second challenge, they were already fighting the third one. It’s been so long now, and they still haven’t cleared it. Is the third challenge that difficult?”

Zhang Kai’s face was somber, “Our team’s strength was already on the weaker side, and we expended so much energy just to overcome the second challenge. We’re even weaker now. It seems difficult to clear the third challenge.”

Shen Qinghan didn’t speak, silently massaging her body on the side to speed up her blood circulation and recover as quickly as possible.

With Lin Zichen there, she didn’t need to worry about clearing the levels.

Her only concern was whether she could perform exceptionally well and play a significant role.

Instead of needing Lin Zichen to come to the rescue every time they faced difficulties.

“Everyone has spent a lot of energy. How about we sit down and rest for a while?”

Lin Zichen suggested.

Zhang Kai was the first to agree, “Indeed, we should rest. Many electronic parts on my body are malfunctioning. I need to check them thoroughly. I’ll fix as much as I can to recover as much fighting strength as possible.”

Zhao Yuanzhong nodded and, as the team captain, said, “Then everyone should rest up. Once our fighting strength has somewhat recovered, we’ll go in and challenge the third level.”

So, the five of them stopped in front of the entrance to the third challenge and took a short break.

Lin Zichen walked up to Shen Qinghan, his voice gentle, “Han Han, come sit here with me. I’ll massage your muscles to speed up the recovery.”

“Okay.”

Shen Qinghan responded and obediently went over to sit down with Lin Zichen.

Then, she skillfully stretched her legs out on Lin Zichen’s thighs for him to massage.

Lin Zichen began massaging her promptly.

His technique was even more skilled than a professional masseur.

If offered on the market, it would cost at least 1000 yuan per hour.

“It’s really nice to have a boyfriend help massage,” Shangguan Yueying said with a face full of envy.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhong immediately stepped forward and offered cheerfully, “If you don’t mind, I can give you a massage. I often help people relax their muscles, and my technique is very skilled.”

Shangguan Yueying smiled and declined, “Thank you for your kindness, but let’s not. It’s not quite appropriate.”

Zhao Yuanzhong laughed, “That’s true, the proprieties of men and women should not be overlooked. I was too enthusiastic.”

Zhang Kai, who was checking his mechanical parts, chuckled upon hearing, “You’re wishful thinking. It’s just that she doesn’t want you to massage her. If Zi Chen offered to help her, she would have surely agreed.”

Zhao Yuanzhong was quite embarrassed and even felt like hitting Zhang Kai.

Shangguan Yueying also gave Zhang Kai a cold look, quite dissatisfied, “I wouldn’t, so don’t talk nonsense!”

Although what Zhang Kai said was the truth, saying it so bluntly was deliberately disgusting to hear.

Zhao Yuanzhong couldn’t stand Zhang Kai’s behavior and was about to retort.

However, before he could speak, his words suddenly got stuck in his throat and he couldn’t say a word.

He witnessed an unbelievable scene!

On the display screen ahead, Team C was shown to have failed their challenge!

What was going on?!

On the other side.

Shen Qinghan also noticed the progress on the display screen and saw Team C had failed their challenge.

She felt surprised and immediately told Lin Zichen, her voice carrying a hint of astonishment, “Xiao Chen, look at the display, Team C has failed their challenge!”

Hearing this, Lin Zichen looked up at the display screen on the wall and saw that Team C indeed had failed.

Zhang Kai and Shangguan Yueying, upon hearing, also looked at the screen.

Seeing Team C’s failure, both of them at first thought they had seen incorrectly.

Was this entrance examination so difficult?

Could a team actually fail a challenge?

That’s impossible, right?

While everyone was still shocked by the news of Team C’s failure, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded.

The display showed Team B and Team A, in just a short span of two seconds, successively failing their challenges and being eliminated.

Everyone was stunned, thinking they were hallucinating.

After a moment of realization, they all exclaimed in confusion.

Zhao Yuanzhong, “How come Teams A, B, and C were suddenly wiped out all at once?”

Zhang Kai, “Forget about resting now. Even Teams A, B, and C have been taken down. We, being even weaker, have no chance of clearing it.”

Shangguan Yueying, “What’s the deal with this third challenge? How can there be a group wipe out just like that?”

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan remained silent.

Among them, Lin Zichen’s thoughts flickered, and he immediately spread his perception to see what was going on inside the third challenge.
