No one expected that Sui Li would say such a thing.

His expression was very calm, it didn't look like a temporary slip of the tongue or a dazed head, nor did he seem to have done something sympathetic and compassionate, his expression was as flat as if nothing had happened.

Tu Hua thought he heard it wrong, and looked at him in surprise, but Sui Li didn't explain much, turned around and left.

His two teammates followed behind him, and Li Tao also followed in disbelief, his tone frantic: "Sui Li, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!"

Sui Li didn't answer him, turned his head and glanced at Mr. X indifferently, and left the checkpoint.

There are five people left who were inexplicably spared by their opponents.

Wang Boyu looked confused: "What does he mean? Is this... to shake hands with us?"

Tu Hua didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but it was absolutely impossible to shake hands and make peace.Even though Sui Li let them live, he still saw hatred and provocation in Sui Li's eyes.Sui Li is obviously different from Li Tao. Li Tao is the kind of person who looks happy. To put it bluntly, he has a very low EQ, and his personality is obviously mean and despicable. The kind of person who has no brains.

But Sui Li was not like that.Although Tu Hua hadn't had much contact with Sui Li, when he met him for the first time, he was like a street gangster, advocating violence to solve everything, and he would do whatever it takes to benefit.But after Mr. X punished them, he obviously restrained a lot.

But he didn't seem to be afraid, but instead seemed to be plotting something.

Tu Hua turned his head to look at Mr. X. In today's level, Sui Li focused all his attention on Mr. X.It sounds like it is a confrontation with Tu Hua's team, but it obviously feels like it is for Mr. X to see.

He must be trying to get Mr. X's attention.

Tu Hua looked at Mr. X standing beside him with downcast eyes, and suddenly felt uneasy.He is an NPC that exists in the game, and is distributed to challengers by the system as a reward, which proves that he is not the only one that belongs to him.

Mr. X's favorability is just a prop, and Mr. X is just an NPC performing tasks. He will follow the system's requirements to accompany anyone and treat everyone well.Tu Hua felt that he seemed to be used to Mr. X by his side, and took Mr. X's kindness for granted. Could it be that one day, Mr. X met someone with a higher degree of affection...and left him?

Tu Hua was taken aback by his own thought, and unknowingly grabbed Mr. X's wrist and squeezed it tightly.

Mr. X looked at him sideways: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." He let go of his hand quickly.

He seems to have become dependent on Mr. X.Because he was afraid that one day, he would feel worried and sad even thinking that Mr. X would leave him. He didn't want to leave this person.

So what to do?Do you keep refreshing more favorability?

Tu Hua pretended to be casual and asked Mr. X: "That favorability... how do I get it?"

Mr. X froze for a moment, then smiled: "You don't need it anymore."

"why?"

Mr. X did not answer him.In the level of the zodiac, the entity is shown again, which is not something that conforms to the system.He re-pixelated his body, returning to the state that only Tu Hua could see before, and began to think about the problems he encountered recently.

The NPC went crazy, and the passers with a low probability of winning got rewards... Everything is too unusual.

As soon as Sui Licong left the checkpoint, Li Tao kept muttering beside him, saying that it was a hard-won opportunity to catch Tu Hua and the others all at once, so that their future competition would be even smaller.Sui Li's ears were almost callused, and finally he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed his collar and threatened: "If you don't shut up, believe it or not, I will kill you?"

Li Tao was discouraged now, and asked cautiously: "Then why did you let them go?"

Sui Li snorted coldly, and looked into the distance ambitiously: "The reason I let them go is because I have a longer-term plan. What are mere mediocrity and meditation? I'm interested in the person behind him, that judge." our people."

Li Tao frowned and said: "I heard that NPC is called Mr. X, and it is a prop obtained by Tu Hua. He will always be by his side to protect him. What are you interested in? Look at his power that day! If we If you go to trouble with them, you will definitely die a miserable death!"

Sui Li glanced at him and scoffed, "It's because of his great power that I'm interested in him."

"And... I just found out that the Mr. X I've been looking for is actually him."

After finishing speaking, Sui Li stretched out his hand and swiped in the air twice, a red system screen jumped out in front of him, which looked different from other people's systems, most of the red screens were garbled programs.

Sui Li pulled out the keyboard and typed a few lines of code: "This is a plug-in program that I drew for more than 80 yuan before entering this game."

"Although Sugechi's game system is very meticulous, any system has loopholes." The red font on the screen flickered and jumped, and Sui Li's eyes became excited, "Although this plug-in program cannot be cracked [-]% The level system, but at least it is helpful. For example, today's zodiac level, I got the information from here, and I know that the reward is in the Taurus Palace."

Sui Li clicked on the running results of the plug-in program: "Of course, what excites me the most is not this one, but this one."

Li Tao looked in the direction of the screen, and saw that the system gave a clearance instruction for all levels:

[Even if you pass all the checkpoints in the end, you may not be able to get a guaranteed quota.When the number of people clearing the customs is more than one person, the system will choose the best, and the processing standard is the favorability of Mr. X. 】

Li Tao's eyes widened in shock: "It means...it means that Mr. X's favorability is actually the secret key to pass the level?!"

Sui Li put away the plug-in program, nodded and said: "I have discovered this instruction a long time ago, but I never knew who Mr. X is. It was not until I met Tu Hua and the others... that I realized how powerful this Mr. X is."

"So I let Tu Hua and them live temporarily. I have to study how to get the favorability of this Mr. X. If Mr. X is a prop issued by the system, then I have to find a way to snatch him away from Tu Hua. come over."

……

Although Tu Hua and the others were lucky enough to survive, their morale was still very low.Tang Bo opened the system panel and said with some frustration: "We didn't get fragments in the last level, so we only have one chance next. It's a big gamble, with only a 20% chance."

But the numbers displayed on the system interface left him dumbfounded.

【Current level: Trigonometric function level】

[Main Quest: The Lost String Table of Hippajos]

[Team challengers: Tu Hua, Wang Boyu, Sun Wei, Tang Bo, Shen Siyi]

[Obtain string table fragments: 6/6]

【Remaining time: 18:12:32】

"Six...six yuan?" Tang Bo leaned closer to check again, "When did we collect it all?"

Tu Hua silently took out a fragment from his trouser pocket and handed it to Tang Bo: "Maybe...it's me."

Everyone was surprised and delighted, looking at Tu Hua in disbelief: "Where did you get it?!"

Things have to start with the Gemini in 【Zodiac Signs】.

The Birdman brother in the twin wombs likes to shed hair very much, and shed a lot of feathers during the contact with Tuhua, and some of them stuck to Tuhua's clothes.It was originally intended to be thrown away when it was painted and sorted, but a piece of feather grew delicately and neatly, and it didn't look like it fell from the birdman at all.

Tu Hua suddenly thought of what he had experienced in the previous levels.From Captain Jack, he accidentally took a playing card prop. After leaving the checkpoint, the playing card turned into fragments of string watches. Obtained fragments by accident.

He had guessed before that although the acquisition of string table fragments was related to the probability given by Mr. X, besides the rewards of fragments through the system, would there be other ways to obtain them?Taking away props that do not belong to the challenger in the level is likely to be another way.

So Tu Hua put away the feather.Of course, he also has the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, after all, these are just his guesses.Who knew that the feather brought out by him would really be turned into fragments as a reward.

Everyone was overjoyed and praised Tu Hua for his shit luck.

Having collected all six fragments, they were able to piece together Hippahos's lost string table. Tang Bo operated the system, and soon, the scene in front of the five people changed dramatically.

They returned to the island where the trig level was originally opened.

Rhodes in ancient Greece.

This time it was night on the island.The sea breeze is slightly salty, the waves are rolling on the beach, and the whole night sky looks beautiful and peaceful.A man in a white robe is standing on the shore looking out at the stars.

He turned his head, saw the five people standing behind him, and smiled gratifiedly: "You are back."

His eyes are deep, and his eyes are like stars. At this moment, he seems to be integrated with the vast universe, unpredictable, wise and serious. "Thank you." Hippahos smiled and stretched out his hand to the five, "Please give me the string watch."

Tang Bo took out the string watch from the system backpack. The string watch, which was pieced together from fragments with cracks, suddenly became flat and complete, and then flew into the air. The outline shone with golden light. The assumption and induction of trigonometric functions.

That is the original appearance of the trigonometric function, which is an important step in the progress of human mathematics. It flies into the air with the brilliance of mathematics, and complements the vast starry sky.

The starry sky thousands of years ago was much brighter than the modern one. The deep night sky was covered with sparkling stars, and the numbers of trigonometric functions flew down from the string table, like a precision measuring instrument, dividing the starry sky into several parts.

Hippahos pointed to the constellation of sheep's head and said, "This is Aries."

"In another month, the stars of Taurus will rise there." Hippajos pointed in another direction, "The rising time of each star is different, and they are the best of time and years. witness."

The historical Hippahos once wrote a book called "The Rise of the Zodiac", which was expressed numerically using the method of chord tables and solving spherical triangles.So he is not only a great astronomer in history, but also an unprecedented mathematician.

Tu Hua stared at the starry sky obsessively, he had never seen such a beautiful scene.Compared with these vast stars, the earth seems to have become smaller, and human beings have also become smaller.But human beings have never underestimated themselves, full of curiosity and confidence, and bravely explored everything in the universe.

The universe is great, and so is mathematics.

"This is the power of mathematics." Mr. X looked at the starry sky, and the dots of stars cast reflections in his pupils. "Feeling the world with your heart and measuring the world with mathematics will give you a different sense of beauty."

Tu Hua stared blankly at Mr. X's side face, involuntarily wanting to get closer to him.It was at this moment that Tu Hua finally understood what Mr. X had always attracted him to.

It's not his handsome face, nor his straight figure, but his wise thoughts radiating from the inside out, and his love and tolerance for mathematics and the world.

Such a person... how could he be just an NPC?

At the moment when Tu Hua was stunned, Hippahos who was standing beside him suddenly turned around, a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if his mind was being controlled by someone, he rushed towards him.

Tu Hua seemed to see the nervous and anxious face of Mr. X, and vaguely heard the hoarse calls of his partners. He only felt a pain in his chest, as if a sharp knife had pierced his heart, and blood stained his clothes.

The next moment, his consciousness fell into deep darkness.
