Day of Imprisonment

Dou Dou was right.

This is indeed a balance scale.

Because after the two of them continued to walk to the end of the suspension bridge, which was also climbing to the middle position of the balance scale, they found a sign here.

The sign was in the most conspicuous position, and anyone who arrived here could easily see it.

"Welcome to the Weight Game. You need to precisely adjust the weight on both sides of the balance scale to open the mysterious entrance to Fairytale Town. The following are detailed game tips and rule explanations. Please read carefully:"

"Game Objective"

"Restore Balance to the Scale: The scale is currently unbalanced due to excessive 'weight' on one side. Your task is to stand in the game area of the scale and use the copper, silver, and gold coins you have to restore balance to the scale."

"Game Rules"

"Scale Balance Judgment: When the scale is balanced, the entrance to Fairytale Town will be triggered."

"If the scale is still not balanced after five throws, the game fails."

"Consequences of Game Failure: After the game fails, the glass platform you are standing on will shatter."

"You will fall into the abyss."

This was a very standard game prompt.

After seeing this game prompt, Dou Dou only had one thought: they should have brought more of the three types of coins. She was thinking that the amount they had now might not be enough.

She wanted to go back to get more, but found that the way they came, which was the other end of the suspension bridge, was already closed.

There was no way back.

At this time, Luo Xi walked to the heavy side of the balance scale and looked into the weighing pan, which looked like a huge bowl.

Inside, there were all kinds of coins.

There were copper, silver, and gold coins.

It looked like there were thousands of them.

Then Luo Xi walked to the other side, the 'light' side, and looked over, and found that there were also many coins in the weighing pan on that side. If you just looked at it, you couldn't tell which side had more and which side had less.

Dou Dou also looked back and forth.

"I can't tell. I feel like they are about the same. Why are the coins in the right weighing pan heavier than those on the left? And they only let us throw five times. How is that enough? And what if we throw in all the coins we brought and it's still not enough?"

Dou Dou obviously put herself in the role of a 'player', and as a result, she found that the difficulty of this 'Weight Game' was very high.

In her opinion, the number of coins thrown in the first time must not be small.

Because this was a test, and the weight of the coins thrown in must shake the balance scale, that is, the balance scale must change; otherwise, it would be equivalent to being ineffective, wasting a throwing opportunity.

But you can't throw in too much either.

Because once the original 'lighter' weighing pan suddenly exceeds the weight of the other end due to the excessive weight of the coins thrown in, it will be troublesome.

It is best to move, but not exceed the other end, so that the weight difference between the two sides of the scale can be judged from the weight of the coins thrown in.

"One more thing, the glass platform we will be standing on is more than four meters away from the weighing pans on both sides. Although it is not far, there is a possibility that we will not be able to throw in, which is equivalent to wasting an opportunity. Therefore, let me do the throwing later. I can throw it in 100% of the time." Dou Dou actually volunteered at this time.

She has an enhanced physique. This enhancement is not only reflected in strength and physical strength, but also in the five senses, including body coordination. Whether the throw is accurate or not is closely related to this physical quality.

Luo Xi had no objection to this.

In terms of control of power and accuracy, Dou Dou's enhanced physique obviously had an advantage. There was nothing to argue about.

The two of them then stood on the glass platform.

As soon as they went up, the suspension bridge that they had come from suddenly broke and then fell down. It disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, there was no way back.

"The game should have started as soon as we stepped on this glass platform. So, you decide how many coins to throw over for the first time." Dou Dou moved her arms and fingers.

Obviously, the division of labor was clear.

She was only responsible for throwing the coins accurately into the corresponding weighing pan. As for how much to throw, she didn't care.

In fact, she had no idea about this Weight Game at all now.

Five chances to balance an unbalanced scale, and they don't know how much weight is on each side. In addition, they may not have brought enough of the three types of silver coins.

It can be said that the current situation is quite tricky.

She was completely at a loss.

And in fact, in her heart, she didn't think Luo Xi could crack this game.

If they could throw unlimitedly, and the premise was that they brought enough coins, it might be possible to pass this game, but with only five chances, it was simply impossible.

"Actually, this game is very simple!" Luo Xi suddenly said at this time.

"Simple? Heh, okay, okay, tell me how it's simple." Dou Dou thought he was bragging.

"The word 'weight' in this game is itself a kind of misleading and trap. Of course, this factor has already been hinted at before. The most obvious is the three dogs. No matter how big their eyes are, their weight is the same. It is not as heavy as imagined at all."

"What do you mean? And what does whether the dog is heavy or not have to do with the current balance scale and weight game? Now we are weighing coins, not dogs."

Dou Dou didn't understand at all.

"But the dog is sitting on boxes of three kinds of coins, and its eyes are of different sizes. This in itself is the most obvious hint. Also, if you have carefully observed the three kinds of coins, you will know that whether they are copper coins, silver coins, or gold coins, their weights are the same."

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"I did notice that," Dou Dou nodded. She carries all three kinds of coins, so she couldn't possibly ignore the detail that each coin weighs the same.

"In that case, if silver coins of the same weight are used, the effect will be the same no matter what coins are put into the scales. But the three coin boxes before were clearly different. The size of the dog's eyes, the value of copper, silver, and gold. If you had observed carefully just now, you would have noticed that the number of coins in the two scales is actually almost the same, but one side is obviously much 'heavier' than the other, which is obviously unreasonable."

Dou Dou seemed to realize something. She took out the three kinds of coins, held them in her hand, looked at them, and raised her head, saying, "Do you mean that the 'weight' here is not referring to actual weight, but value?"

"That's very likely," Luo Xi was clearly not 100% sure about this.

But based on the current series of observations, it is indeed very likely.

Dou Dou's eyes also lit up.

"This is in line with the design principles of the level scene, because this is the so-called optimization design of the scene on the basis of not violating the principles of fairness and justice, using value to replace 'weight'. Because the logic is very simple, one silver coin can be exchanged for more copper coins. In terms of value, it is a one-to-many relationship, and gold coins are naturally the most valuable. So, in that seemingly heavy scale, there seem to be more gold coins."

She now looks like she has discovered a new continent.

"Yes, it must be like this. This idea is so clever. How did you think of it?" Dou Dou looked at Luo Xi, and the latter just smiled: "I heard that the company's physical enhancement for administrators is divided into several levels. Ordinary people are ordinary people, and those who exceed ordinary people are elite-level. The elite-level starts from C-level upwards. You should be elite B-level. As long as you reach the elite-level, it is a qualitative leap relative to ordinary people. Except that thinking ability and reasoning ability will not be enhanced, all other aspects will be improved. Not to mention physical strength, strength, reflexes, agility, and coordination, your eyesight and hearing will also be improved. So, can you help me see how many gold coins are in each of the two scales?"

After Luo Xi finished speaking, Dou Dou shook her head: "I can't see it."

Before she finished speaking, Luo Xi squatted down and patted her shoulder.

Dou Dou understood instantly.

She immediately stepped on Luo Xi's shoulders with both feet, and the latter stood up. She also stood up straight. This increased the height, and the field of vision was naturally better, so she could see the situation in the two scales on both ends of the balance.

And the three kinds of coins are different in appearance, and the reflected light is also different.

Dou Dou checked them separately and quickly calculated the number.

"Only count the gold coins? I can actually count the silver coins and copper coins as well."

"That's meaningless!" Luo Xi shook his head: "You can only see the situation of the coins on the surface layer. You can't see the types of coins hidden underneath."

"According to you, I can't see the gold coins hidden underneath either," Dou Dou retorted.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there are no gold coins underneath," Luo Xi explained: "You yourself said that the design of any level scene game must adhere to the principles of fairness and justice. That is, the way to clear the level must exist and be traceable. If the people who designed this place hide the most important gold coins underneath, then no one will be able to clear the level even with five coin-tossing opportunities. Therefore, if the game rules are so harsh, the scene design can only be lenient. That is, design a very obvious 'clue'."

Dou Dou thought carefully and had to admit that Luo Xi was very correct.

The seemingly absurd reasoning is actually traceable. The reason why it feels absurd is not because the reasoning process is absurd, but because the result is abnormal. But the result is not designed by the player, but by the scene designer.

So, it is the scene designer who is absurd, not Luo Xi as a player.

"I've finished counting. If you only look at the number of gold coins that can be seen in the two scales, the heavier scale on the right has 37 gold coins, and the lighter scale on the left has only 19 gold coins."

"That is to say, there is a difference of 18 gold coins. One gold coin can be exchanged for 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin can be exchanged for 100 copper coins. Then this is equivalent to 190,000 more copper coins or 1,900 silver coins!" Luo Xi muttered to himself.

Dou Dou was stunned: "Did you guess this exchange rate, or did you find some clues?"

"There are clues. The walls in the three rooms are engraved with the exchange rates of the three kinds of coins."

"How come I didn't notice it? Wait a minute, I remember that the walls of those three rooms are covered with messy text, which doesn't look like English."

"That's Danish. The author of The Tinderbox, Hans Christian Andersen, was Danish, didn't you know?" Luo Xi asked with a surprised look.
