Chapter 685

Li Teng was really blinded.

This heavy wooden box has a layer of wood on the outside. Through the gaps in the wood, you can see that the inner layer is a metal box.

After removing the outer wooden protective device, the true face of the box was revealed.

It's a big safe.

There are many words written on the wall of the metal box.

There are some words marked in red, which are obviously warnings.

"The mechanism of the box must be broken to open it correctly. If the box is forcibly opened, it will cause a violent explosion and the area within one kilometer will be razed to the ground!"

Seeing this warning, the proprietress Jin Manyu did not dare to forcefully unbox it.

The other seven actors were watching. Their mentality was the same as Li Teng's. The crew did not allow them to open the box, but they did not ask them to protect the box from others.

Then let the boss lady open up. In this way, they have not violated the rules and satisfied their curiosity.

But I didn't expect that the box actually had a mechanism and couldn't be opened casually.

The mechanism of the box is actually quite simple.

Just four lines of characters.

Each word is a button.

This means that if you press the correct button, you can unlock the safe.

There are seven characters in each line of these lines, four lines in total. The content is: When a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by a dog, he stops his car to sit and love the maple forest at night. He sleeps in the open air and returns home at night. What a mess!

According to the text description below, there is a word in each line of these four lines that is the correct button. Only when all four buttons are pressed correctly can the safe be opened.

But if you press the wrong button three times, the safe will explode, razing an area within a kilometer to the ground!

It seems that blind guessing is definitely not possible. You must find the correct answer.

The puzzles on the boxes turn the entire inn into a puzzle-solving scene.

Everyone was thinking hard and thinking hard, but they really couldn't find any clue.

It feels like four lines of poetry that have nothing to do with each other!

"Boss Wu, you know poetry best. Did you see anything?" No. 8 asked Li Teng, No. 5. No. 8 felt that if anyone could find the answer, it must be No. 5.

"I haven't noticed anything else yet. I only saw that the first, second, and fourth lines are all ancient poems, but the seven characters in the third line are not ancient poems. They seem to be made up casually." Li Teng opened.

mouth.

"The first line isn't an ancient poem, right? Only the second line is an ancient poem, and I don't quite understand whether the fourth line is an ancient poem. Anyway, I don't remember this line of poetry." No. 3 spoke.

No. 5 has been showing off his wealth of knowledge in front of the boss lady Jin Manyu. When No. 3 heard that there seemed to be a loophole in No. 5's words, he immediately pointed it out to him, damaging Li Teng's image in the minds of the boss lady Jin Manyu and the audience.

"Strictly speaking, the first line is not an ancient poem. The seven characters in the first line come from "Gu Jin Tan Gui", also known as "Ancient and Modern Laughter History", "Ancient and Modern Laughter" and "Talk Summary", written by Feng Menglong, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty.

A collection of notes written by a novelist.

"The first line of this poem comes from Volume 29: The proverb goes: 'A dragon swims in shallow water and is played by shrimps, and a tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs.'

"The fourth line is an ancient poem, from "The Song of the Qin Woman" by Wei Zhuang, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. May I ask where the girl came from? She frowned and swallowed her words first. She turned back to say goodbye to the passer-by. How could she be so desolate and wandering?

"Everyone should know the origin of the second line of the poem, right? Only the third line is not considered an ancient poem."

Li Teng had no choice but to explain it in detail to everyone.

After hearing Li Teng's explanation, everyone present couldn't help but praise him.

Especially the young literary girl Jin Manyu, who was looking at Li Teng like a girl obsessed with her. She was completely impressed by this man.

No. 3 was completely mute.

Who the hell is this person? He can even remember the source of such an unorthodox poem so clearly?

No. 3 wanted to take this opportunity to attack Li Teng, but in the end, he gave Li Teng a chance to show off and even got his own face swollen. It was really a waste of money.

No. 3 couldn't help but reflect: Is the value of his existence just to serve as a background for No. 5?

"You know the origin of these lines of poetry so well, can you guess why these lines of poetry appear on the box? Maybe this is the key to opening the box." No. 8 said a few words to No. 5.

The actors all have a feeling that this box in the second round may be a key prop to clear the level.

What's inside matters.

Now they can use the NPC's hand to open the box, but they are stuck by a puzzle.

I can only sigh.

The proprietress Jin Manyu said that for safety reasons, she asked the clerk to carry the box to her bedroom for temporary storage.

Return it to them when everyone leaves.

In fact, it was placed in a secret room under her bedroom.

Only she and Li Teng have the key to go down.

The other seven actors were a little unhappy about this, but no one raised any objections.

The boss lady Kim Manyu is an important plot NPC. Unlike the gangsters who are judged as 'monsters', they cannot attack such plot NPCs.

The plot does not require them to protect the box or prevent the boss lady from taking the box.

And it's not night yet. Li Teng doesn't know if he has slept with the landlady, but according to the rules, sleeping with the landlady at night is effective. They still have a chance now, so there is no need to stop the landlady at this time and leave a bad impression for the landlady.

impression.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they can't stop it.

Of course, if one of them can sleep with the proprietress Jin Manyu tonight and enter her bedroom, he can replace Li Teng as the owner of the box.

If you can't open the box, that's another story.

The afternoon was boring, and there were no beautiful women to accompany the others, so they could only imitate the waiters in the store, gather around the table, play dice, drink, and brag.

"Are you so willing to admit defeat? Let No. 5 sleep with the boss's wife tonight and secure a promotion spot?" No. 3 whispered to the others while drinking.

"Haha, what can we do? The boss lady has obviously been fascinated by No. 5. It will be very difficult to win over her love at this time. There is almost no chance." No. 7 spoke.

On this issue, No. 7 supports No. 3 and wants to overthrow No. 5, otherwise everyone will have to compete for the remaining two spots.

No. 7 feels that No. 8 and No. 2 are being hypocritical in this matter. Their own interests are involved, and they actually prevent others from bringing down No. 5. However, he cannot openly say that he supports No. 3, so he can only talk about it in No. 3.

Sometimes I make a few innuendoes.

No. 8 and No. 2 were silent at this time. They were just actors, and they would not be grateful to Li Teng just because Li Teng had 'rescued' them before.

The previous opposition to No. 3 was just to create their own persona.

Now that I have drunk some wine, I can pretend to be dizzy. If I don't speak at this time, it will be considered as support for No. 3.

"It's not until night, and the rice is not cooked yet. Even if No. 1 has slept with the landlady, we can't say that this matter is a done deal.

Chapter 686

"We still need to find an opportunity to tell the boss lady that No. 5 is a hypocrite and deceives her feelings. I can't say it alone. If all of us say this, the boss lady will most likely believe us and abandon No. 5."

Number Three continued to analyze the situation.

No one else said a word.

After all, there are big audience members watching!

No. 5 has not done anything that would make him look particularly hypocritical. If he framed him like this to the boss's wife, he would appear to be a very small person. He might make the big bosses in the audience have a bad impression of him, which is not worth the gain.

In this matter, everyone considers their own interests, analyzes the pros and cons, and has different positions in their hearts.

But there is one position that is relatively consistent.

They just don’t want one of the three promotion places to be locked up by a certain actor, causing them to have to fight for the remaining two promotion places.

No. 3's instigation had no effect.

The main reason is that they can't find a starting point to defeat No. 5 at the moment.

However, at this moment, an accident happened.

A situation arises that is enough for them to turn the situation around.

There was a rumbling sound outside the inn door.

Several desert warships appeared around the inn, and then dozens of soldiers surrounded a figure who looked like a general. They knocked on the door of the inn and entered the inn despite the wind and sand.

The general is more than two meters long, as strong as an ox, with a green helmet and green armor, and a heroic appearance. He also wears a green general's hat on his head.

The dozens of soldiers under his command are all two meters long, tall and strong, with murderous looks. They wear heavy helmets and armor, and hold heavy shields and machetes. At first glance, they look like veterans who have killed countless people.

After entering the door, everyone stood along the wall, standing in two rows.

"Ah! Husband, why are you back?" The proprietress Jin Manyu came to greet her, trying her best to hide the panic on her face and pretending to be a surprise expression.

"I have been stationed in the border town for more than half a year, and the war has relaxed a little now, so I came home to have a look! Hahahaha! My beauty is even more beautiful now!

"Hey! Why are there so many pretty boys in the store? You didn't do anything with them behind my back, did you?"
