[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show
Chapter 205: Extreme Speed
The two planes arrived in Japan almost one after the other.
Jenna and the others, who were supposed to be in the lead, almost missed the flight from Bangkok to Japan. To make matters worse, when they flew to Kansai International Airport, there were some problems with the airport's runway arrangement, so the plane had to stay in the sky for a long time until 4 o'clock. It landed smoothly in the middle of the day, and at that time, another flight was almost there.
Listening to the notification of the successful landing on the radio, Jenna had the illusion of finally escaping from the sky, and leaned on her friend's shoulder very tiredly—this flight was too tortuous!From departure to arrival it has not been smooth!
"...Let's go." Elena patted her friend's shoulder and comforted her.
At least, they were not behind, and they should have arrived a little earlier than the other flight.
"Yeah." Jenna patted her cheek, and then regained her composure.
The two and the father-daughter team got off the plane one after another, and after exchanging yen at the airport, they hurried to the city.
Ten minutes later, five other teams also arrived in Japan.
An hour later, the seven teams met at Tosaya.
"Hello, let's do the task." The five teams saw two teams busy on the side of the road at a glance.
"Okay, come here." The middle-aged store owner came out, nodded to them, and signaled the contestants to stand by the wooden platform outside the store—there are these foreigners working for him, and this store It is also a good publicity for him, he will not let them work in the house, of course, let the neighbors and passers-by come and see.
"In this way, you need to stir it from time to time, add some water, and beat it very soft." The owner asked two helpers to demonstrate how to make rice cakes for the players, and let the players look at the demonstration finished product in the wooden basin next to him, "Finally, Do this."
"Okay, we understand." The owner's English is not very good, but the contestants also understand their task this time - this is a completely physical work!
The black brothers looked at each other and grinned at each other.
This task is too beneficial to them!
They love tasks like this!
"Let's start." Yili and Xie Cheng also put down their backpacks, each holding a long mallet, and stood by the wooden platform.
Washed glutinous rice has already been placed in the not-deep wooden platform, and they just need to beat hard to get the natural stickiness of the glutinous rice, so that the glutinous rice can be turned into a whole ball of rice cake embryos.
"Okay." Xie Cheng shook the gavel in his hand, looked for the feel, and then nodded to Yi Li.
The two immediately worked hard like everyone else.
Making rice cakes is a very mechanical job.
Perhaps for these masters who are engaged in the traditional pastry industry, they can spend a few years or more than ten years learning how to use skillful strength to make the rice cakes soft and waxy with the smallest effort—of course, the smallest effort is also You have to work hard, not really just being lazy and slippery, but just learning how to use every ounce of strength in place.
But for the players, this is real work!It doesn't take a lot of effort to break even the glutinous rice, let alone the soft and tough rice cakes.
"Elena, how do you think we're doing?" Seeing the other five teams rushing over, Jenna couldn't help but feel anxious, especially, she also understood that for players with strong physiques, this task must be more important. easy.Jenna didn't want to lose their precious advantage, and wished that the glutinous rice would spontaneously turn into a white and soft ball of rice cakes in the next second.
"Maybe... not so good?" Elena signaled Jenna to stop first, bent down to look at the rice cake balls in the wooden platform, and shook her head at Jenna - the finished rice cake in the wooden basin was smooth and delicate, But their rice cakes were just taking shape, and the large pieces of half-broken glutinous rice were still wrapped in the rice cake balls, which didn't have that delicate feeling at all.
"Hasn't this already turned into a ball?" Jenna didn't understand the charm of the rice cake, anyway, wouldn't it look like it?Maybe, the boss also thinks that it's enough for them to hit this level!She and Elena are not real helpers, so they don't need to be serious. As long as the boss says it's okay, she doesn't want to beat it any more-God knows, after only ten minutes of beating, her hands are already sore. Like myself!
"Then, why don't we ask?" Elena also hesitated, let alone Jenna, even she was too tired.However, Jenna has one advantage, that is, no matter how proud her personality is, and no matter how unreasonable she is, she will never shirk when it is time to work hard and push everything to others.This is why Elena is willing to compete with Jenna.
Seriously, if this level of rice cakes can pass, but they continue to work, isn't it a waste of effort?At that time, other teams have passed the test with such finished products, but they have worked stupidly for a long time, and that will be a disadvantage.Who knows how much effort they will have to exert in the following tasks?Thinking of this, Elena also felt that it would be good to ask more.
With Elena's consent, Jenna quickly raised her hand to signal, "Shopkeeper, we are ready, is this okay?"
Like everyone else, the shopkeeper who was watching these foreigners work immediately came over. When he saw the rough rice cake embryos on the wooden platform of the two people, he didn't squat down to take a closer look, and shook his head directly at the two people, "No , this one can’t, that one can.”
The shopkeeper showed them the finished rice cake balls in the wooden basin, and let the two of them see the difference between what they made and what was qualified.
"Okay, thank you, we will do it again." Jenna and Elena couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they were denied by the store's main board, they could only bow their heads and continue to rework.
For a while, the whole small shop street was filled with the sound of cracking rice cakes alternately.
"I'll turn over the rice cakes." Xie Cheng signaled Yili to stop.
"Yeah." Yili quickly moved the mallet away to avoid hitting Xie Cheng. At the same time, she also took the opportunity to rub her arms that were a little stiff from excessive force - she kept beating the rice cake vigorously. For ordinary people, it is definitely a heavy burden.
"Are you tired?" Xie Cheng was pouring some water on the rice cake balls that were gradually forming, and when he looked up, he saw Yili rubbing her arms and wrists, and immediately thought, with Yili's physical strength, it is really too hard to persist until now So he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to take a break?" This task was done by two people together, so he can bear a little more.
"I'm fine." Yili immediately smiled when she heard this, and let go of her wrist, "Let's continue."
"Okay." Xie Cheng sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't convince the other party, so he decided to put in more effort to complete the two tasks as soon as possible.
At this time, it was only 5:[-] in the morning, many shops were not open, and there were very few passers-by.
Occasionally, some people stop to watch, but they leave quickly. Only the residents on this street will curiously poke their heads out of the upstairs windows, or sit in their own shops with their own breakfast to watch, or their personalities Only those who are more cheerful will come over.
The whole street is filled with the unique sense of tranquility in the early morning, and the occasional whispers of onlookers cannot break this tranquility.
The players repeat this kind of mechanical labor. Their bodies have not recovered from the stiffness of flying for a long time, and their minds are not sober because of the unsteady sleep on the plane. They are yawning and distracted from their work. ...
"Aw!" It was a man's scream that broke the tranquility.
"Phil?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Claire, who was a little dazed, immediately woke up and looked at her husband.
"Hiss—" Mr. Dunphy jumped up holding his red fingers, gasping for air uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with you? Phil!" Claire quickly put down the gavel, rushing to her husband anxiously.
"You..." Mr. Dunphy looked at his wife tearfully, "Your hammer hit me..."
He just wanted to flip through the rice cake balls, but even though he told Claire to stop for a while, Claire gave him a hammer without mercy... Why is he always the one who gets hurt? ! !Mr. Dunphy was very wronged.
--hahahahahahahaha!
——Phil is so pitiful, but I really think it's so funny hahahaha!
——Is this a natural sense of joy?The Dunphys contracted the laughing points of this episode of my show, hahahaha!
— I also think it's funny, but I hope Dunphy is okay, otherwise that hammer was not a joke.
The audience, who were nervously watching the players work, couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Phil, I didn't hear you!" Claire quickly apologized, "Is it important? Is it painful? Did I use a lot of force? Do you want the medical staff to take a look?" Claire fired like a cannonball ask a question.
"Hiss, it's okay." Mr. Dunphy stretched his fingers and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no serious pain—however, this also shows that Claire didn't use any strength at all, but was just lazy, right?Thinking of this, Mr. Dunphy couldn't help but glanced at his wife with a little reproach.
"Cough, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine." Claire also felt a little guilty, "Then you take a break, and I will continue?"
"It's okay, we can come together." Mr. Deng Fei didn't intend to be lazy, anyway, he was only injured a little bit, not serious, and he also wanted to finish this mission quickly.
So, after a short rest, the two returned to work.
On the side, other people were also secretly vigilant, reminding themselves that they must not repeat the same mistakes.
"Boss, can we do this?" Soon, the black brother finally spoke up.
"Hmm..." The owner walked over, carefully inspected the finished products of the two, and nodded with satisfaction. The rice cakes produced by the two big and small guys are also sticky and tough. "Top grade!" The boss said to The two gave thumbs up.
"Thank you!" Although they didn't understand what Shangpin meant, the two of them still understood this common gesture in most countries. They couldn't help showing surprise, and hugged their brother heavily.
"Here." The shopkeeper was not stingy, and quickly handed out the first clue card.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The two brothers smiled happily, and happily took the clue card from each other.
At this time, the surrounding residents also applauded loudly for them—the Japanese have always been very involved in this aspect, and even the onlookers were more serious than the crowds of other countries, and it was even a bit exaggerated.The black boys grinned so much that their white teeth came out. While waving to them, they took their backpacks and walked out of the crowd that made way for them.
Seeing that some teams had already completed the task, the other teams couldn't help feeling anxious, and the beating movements that had been a little tired became powerful again. Everyone's foreheads were sweating, and their arms became more and more sore, but no one complained.
"Mr. Shopkeeper!" Jenna raised her hand again to signal. They came earlier, even though they were not as vigorous as the black brothers, but they never slacked off or complained. They have been working diligently until now, so they should pass!
"Hmm..." The shopkeeper walked over and carefully inspected their finished products. Under Jenna's expectant eyes, he finally nodded, "This is what rice cakes should look like! Here it is!"
"Thank you!" Jenna couldn't understand the unfamiliar language at all, but she still understood the last English word, and immediately hugged Elena with joy—they finally didn't have to suffer this kind of trouble again! ! !
"Let's go!" Elena put her bag on her back and handed Jenna's bag to her, urging.
"Yeah!" Jenna lost her complacent mood, and nodded immediately - the black brothers have already taken the lead in front, and the other teams are also watching behind them, and they can't delay for a second!
"Shopkeeper, we are ready!"
"No, this won't work..."
"Shopkeeper, here!"
"Well, yes."
Other players also raised their hands one after another, but some teams passed the shopkeeper's inspection, while others were sent back.
"Detour mission: doll or costume?" Yi Li and Xie Cheng, who finally completed the mission, opened the clue card and read.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, "Of course it's a Chinese dress."
"Dolls are an important part of Japanese folk culture, with lively and flexible shapes, complicated and exquisite clothing, accessories, and hair accessories. This time, the contestants will walk to the Miyamoto doll workshop. The team that chose the Chinese costume Under the guidance of the puppet designer, a set of Japanese traditional doll costumes will be completed, and after the designer’s approval, the clue card for the next stage will be obtained.” The team that chooses the puppet will have to do it by itself a puppet.
"Let's go, go to Miyamoto Doll Workshop." After hearing Yili's words, a deep smile appeared on Xie Cheng's face.
"Yeah." Yili and Xie Cheng looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing—their chance has come!
The two were a bit behind in the task of making rice cakes. The black brothers, blonde sisters, and Sean all left one step ahead of them, and the other three teams seemed to be catching up soon.The two must hurry up and complete this task as quickly as possible before they can catch up with the team in front, and maybe they can get some opportunities for them.
"Hi, may I ask how to get to Miyamoto Doll Studio?" Yili asked a young girl next to her—if she was young, she should be better at English.Above all, they need each other to show them the way.
"Miya Hinata Workshop?" The black-haired girl with two cute low ponytails confirmed to the two of them, and after seeing them nodding, she immediately said in unproficient Japanese English, "Go out from this street and turn left , walk across a street, turn right at the first traffic light, and after a few steps, you will see the store. In the glass window at their door, there are many human figures, which are cute dolls, easy to recognize. "The girl explained to the two very seriously.
"Okay, thank you!" Yili and Xie Cheng memorized it, found that it was not complicated, and immediately thanked the girl.
Yili can actually understand Japanese, it doesn't matter how complicated the girl's speech is.
However, Yili did not fill in this point in the information submitted to the program team. Otherwise, it would be an exaggeration. If there are players who can speak seven languages, it would be too unfair to other teams-although, the language itself is What others have learned through hard work is not an advantage for nothing, but this gap is always a bit big. Considering the balance of the team, the program team may instead screen out these overly strong players.
Of course, this may also be Yili's unfounded worry, but in order to avoid losing the audition, Yili and Xie Cheng still decided to reserve this point-in fact, it is not only about language, Other aspects have not been fully disclosed.However, for this reason, these advantages cannot be exposed now.But when asking for directions, it is always better to understand more, just like having multiple hole cards always makes people feel more at ease.
"Are you in a hurry? Do you want me to lead the way for you?" Yuzi asked kindly. She saw that these two people seemed to be in a hurry, but it was still early and it was not time for school to start. She just happened to be able to take them. Take a trip.
"Thank you, but the rules forbid us to find someone to lead the way, but thank you very much." Yili shook her head and said with a smile.
"Then, this is for you." Yuzi vaguely understood that it was not allowed, so she was very understanding, and took out a box of fruit from the store and handed it to the two of them, "I wish you good luck, this is my family's dessert, very delicious Delicious." The girl is the owner's daughter.
"Then, thank you." Yili originally wanted to decline, but saw the shopkeeper not far away nodded to them, and then accepted.
After saying goodbye to the girl briefly, Yili and Xie Cheng didn't have extra time to greet each other, and quickly ran to the direction the girl said.
Making rice cakes had consumed a lot of energy for the two of them, and then they ran all the way. When the two of them saw the shop with dolls in the window that the girl said, they were slightly or heavily out of breath.
"Hello, let's do the mission, the Chinese clothing mission."
As soon as they walked into the store, they saw a young woman in traditional clothes, and the two immediately talked.
"Okay, please follow me." The woman nodded with a smile, motioning for the two to follow.
After bypassing the wall, the real workshop is behind.
Along the way, there are large and small glass cabinets inlaid in the walls. The cabinets are full of dolls with vivid facial features and exquisite clothes. The dolls are placed at special angles, as if they are watching passers-by. Yili and Xie Cheng Somewhat uncomfortable.
"Teacher Inoue, these two are also here to do a task." The young woman led them to the studio where doll clothes were designed, and bowed to the woman who was sitting alone in the room.
"Okay, thank you, Mari." The younger woman who was called a teacher stood up and replied with a smile.
"Hello." Seeing the young woman getting up to leave, Yi Li and Xie Cheng greeted each other.
"Hello." The female designer nodded to the two, opened a glass cabinet, and put two small and exquisite ethnic costumes in the center of the workbench, "This is the clothes you want to make, and this is the finished product for your reference , but you can’t disassemble it, you can only observe it. Here are the fabrics you will use, and the tools are on the table, and you can call me when you’re done.”
"Okay, we understand." The female designer's English is very fluent. Although she has an accent, it does not affect the understanding of the two.
Yi Li and Xie Cheng put down their backpacks and sat down by the workbench.
Among all the players, I am afraid that there is no one who is more familiar with this work than them.
Even if the corresponding talents have disappeared after the game, the skills they have practiced by themselves will not be so forgotten. Although, when they first came into contact with these tools, both of them were somewhat unfamiliar.
"Do one piece for each person?" Xie Cheng suggested.
"Okay, I'll make this light red one." Yili nodded.
"Okay, then I'll make this dark blue one." Xie Cheng didn't object.
These two sets of clothes are only the size of a palm, but they are exquisite and complicated but not inferior to real clothes.
Every border, every color inlay is so exquisite that not even a trace of extra thread can be seen.
Yili and Xie Cheng respectively measured the size of the clothes, and cut them directly on the fabric—that is, they both had the confidence to draw lines on the fabric and cut them without drawing a paper pattern.However, this is also because this is a part of the competition, not a real design and tailoring competition, so the two can skip that step.
The scissors were flying, and the fabrics of various colors were cut into predetermined shapes and arranged on the workbench one by one.
The sewing machine made a low sound of work, and the sleeves, neckline, and front and back plackets were all stitched together one by one.
From small sleeves to scarlet hakamas, from belts to handbags, the structure of clothing accessories is taking shape.
The needles are threaded, the edges are inlaid with colors, and each piece of delicate clothing is gradually formed.
The female designer's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe that someone could do it so fast and so skillfully, as if they were not newbies making humanoid clothes for the first time, but the most skilled masters of tailoring—somehow , the designer also got the truth, at least, the former Yili and Xie Cheng can indeed be called young masters.
--So fast!
——No, it’s almost flying! ! !
The audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
——Did the program team speed up in the later stage?These two also look too skilled!
——No, there should be no acceleration, these two people are simply... fast.
There are always professionals among the audience, who refute rumors and popularize science from time to time.
——Wait, so these two people are handmade emperors? !
——Watching them draw lines and move scissors without hesitation!It's so easy to come by!
——I would say, did I think I saw the accelerated teaching videos of the online masters? !
——Based on the finished product, this is definitely a true master! ! !
As a result, the audience unconsciously became aware of the truth.
At this moment, two more teams walked in almost at the same time.
"Lilian, Chester." Brianna put down her backpack, took a breath, and then greeted the two of them.
"Brianna, you're here." Yili raised her head and greeted Brianna with a smile. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sean and Dexter walking in after the father and daughter. "You guys?" Are you lost? How did you get there?" Yi Li couldn't help asking, if she remembered correctly, these two people should have completed the task of making rice cakes before she and Xie Cheng.
"Uh, we did another task first." It was also the first time Sean spoke to Yi Li, and he was taken aback before replying.
"The other task was too difficult, and we wanted to try this." Dexter added - it is too difficult to polish and carve on the half-finished clay embryo to make a humanoid doll that is exactly the same as the sample!Instead of wasting time there, it's better to change to a simpler task!After all, giving up in time is also a game strategy!
After the three teams greeted each other, they sat down and concentrated on completing their tasks.
Sean and Dexter were also a little uneasy at first. After all, they gave up the progress on the other side and could only start from scratch here. Who knows whether this task is easier or more difficult than the other?However, after seeing the two finished products that were almost completed in front of Lilian and Chester, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—from this point of view, the task here shouldn't be difficult, right?
Hearing the post-interview of the two people's mental journey interspersed on TV, the audience couldn't bear to see the end of the two people!
— Wake up!Who gave you the illusion that the task here is not difficult? !
——The task is not difficult and it is divided into people, okay?Not hard for the two of them, but not necessarily good for you? !
——I have only one thing to say: Recognize your own identity, the handicapped and the handmade emperor are different!
——That's right, don't judge yourself by the process of the handicraft emperor!He will die miserably! ! !
The audience simply broke their hearts for the two.
Hey, who isn't?Who didn't look at the handmade emperor videos on Youtube when they were young and wanted to do something with great interest?In the end, the reality taught them a hard lesson—the gods are different from ordinary people, okay?Seeing that the great master easily and methodically makes each piece of finished product that makes people drool, but if you change yourself, it means that your hands are not your own!
My hand, why are you so disabled? !
This is the cry that everyone has had.
At this moment, watching Xiao En and the two of them take a look at the finished product of the couple group, and sat down confidently, the audience could only shake their heads helplessly.Occasionally someone would say: Maybe these two people are also good at this task, isn't it too early to say anything?But this kind of statement was quickly refuted by more people: If you are better at this task, why not choose it from the beginning?Obviously cornered, okay? !
"Hi, we're done." Yili and Xie Cheng gestured to the designer.
"Hmm..." The designer has been paying attention to the working conditions of the contestants, so he naturally knows the progress of the two. Seeing that everything in front of him is exquisite, like the perfect finished product made by the most experienced master, it is almost the same as the sample , the designer has nothing to be picky about, so the two of them passed the level as a matter of course, "Here are your clue cards, congratulations."
"Thank you!" Yili and Xie Cheng quickly took it and thanked each other.
"Roadblock mission: who is better at deciphering?" Yili read out the content on the new clue card.
Xie Cheng paused, then shrugged helplessly at Yili.
"Okay, it's me." Yili also laughed, turned over and continued to read, "An ancient princess was trapped in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the contestants have to take the Shinkansen to Kyoto to unlock the ancient mechanism door of the Imperial Inner Court, that is, You can rescue the princess and get the princess' token, which is the clue card for the next stage."
The two carried their backpacks, ran out of the workshop under the envious eyes of the other two teams, and took a taxi to Shin-Osaka Station.
While waiting for the bus after buying the ticket, the two met Alicia and Connor who hurried to catch up.
The four of them greeted each other briefly, and boarded the Shinkansen that happened to be coming.
"You chose the puppet mission?" In the car, Xie Cheng and Connor chatted casually.
"Yes." Connor nodded.
"I heard that the puppet task is difficult?" Xie Cheng asked again, this is what Xiao En and the others said.
"It's okay." Connor smiled and did not refute - this task is certainly not easy, but for a surgeon who is good at performing precision surgery with a scalpel, it is also easy to change tools and do some simple carving and polishing work. It's not that hard is it?
"Are you the first to complete it?" Xie Cheng finally asked the question he really wanted to ask.
"No, Ario and the others are the first, and Jenna and the others are the second. We went a little late." Connor shook his head. Even though he was indeed better at this task than those two teams, he got there after all. It's a little late.Even if those two teams failed once or twice, they were still a little faster than him.Being able to catch this bus is already an extraordinary performance of his.
"It seems that they are the only two teams ahead of us." Xie Cheng didn't hold back his news, this sentence was equivalent to telling Connor that he and Yili were the first team to complete another detour.
"Then we might still have a chance." Connor clenched his fist, this is the time he is most likely to catch up with the vanguard, and if he is lucky, he might even be able to fight for the first place, "Wish us good luck. "Connor said to Xie Cheng.
"No, I wish you and Lilian good luck." Xie Cheng smiled and spread his hands.
"Huh?" Connor reacted immediately, and smiled at Yili, "Then wish us luck."
"Wish us good luck." Yili also smiled and nodded to Connor.
A quarter of an hour later, the two teams arrived in Kyoto.
The taxi quickly brought them to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. The two teams bought their tickets, asked the staff, and ran to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace.
Maybe it was the special arrangement of the program group, or maybe it was the retro arrangement in the imperial palace. The two teams saw many guards wearing traditional samurai uniforms and various armors along the way.
In front of the gate of the imperial court, they finally saw the two teams that arrived one step ahead of them.
Ario and Jenna were anxiously standing a little far away, while Bruno and Elena were sitting on the ground regardless of their image. They each held a wooden product similar to a Rubik's cube in their hands, and they were racking their brains to turn it over and over again.
"Hello." Yili and Connor immediately ran in front of the general wearing a red and yellow cloak—seeing the color of the cloak, they knew that this was the person involved in the checkpoint set by the program group.
"Please." The other party was sitting behind a long table, and compared the many wooden blocks on the long table with regret, signaling the two to take it by themselves.
and many more……
When Yili saw these familiar wooden blocks at close range, she couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't until Connor took one casually first that she came back to her senses, followed by another, and slowly rubbed it in her palm. .
"The key to the gate of the imperial court is hidden in Zhuge Kongming's wooden lock." The general said one last sentence, and then motioned for the two to go to Bruno and Elena, and try to open the wooden lock by himself—of course, by smashing it hard. Obviously not allowed.
"What is this……"
Connor frowned and walked over while trying to turn the wooden block, but obviously, the so-called wooden lock with many edges and corners made him a little bit at a loss.
--What exactly is this?Orient's Rubik's Cube?
—Maybe it’s a special-shaped Rubik’s cube?It looks so difficult, can these contestants really solve it?
——That’s right, even if you give them a Rubik’s Cube and ask them to put together the colors, not everyone can spell it out, let alone this seemingly mysterious wooden block.
The audience was as confused as the contestants. It can be said that many people have never seen this kind of device in their life.
——It is estimated that many teams will be stuck here...
The audience said very presciently.
In the camera, most of the contestants are frowning.
The contestants who are trying to unlock the wooden lock have no idea at all. They don’t know how the show crew hid the key in the lock. A contestant like Bruno, who is a little short-tempered, can’t wait to have a hammer in hand to crack this wooden thing violently. up!
The teammates who were watching from a little distance away were also very anxious, watching the teams rushing over, but the unlocking task of their own teammates did not make any progress. In fact, what kind of wood was used in the hands of most people, what is it like now... …
"Bruno, man, you must hurry up!" Ario had already muttered to the side.
"Elena, Elena, Elena..." Jenna was also a little anxious at this time, and kept praying with her fingers on her lips.
"Connor must be fine! He must be the first to unlock that wooden lock!" Alicia has full confidence in Connor, which is not surprising. After all, if it weren't for Connor's ability to turn the tide, she and Connor would have was eliminated!Before, Connor could!This time, Connor is absolutely fine!Whether it's Connor's performance along the way, or his education and life experience, Alicia has full confidence in Connor's IQ!
"Hmph, Elena was the first to unlock the wooden lock!" Jenna snorted disdainfully when she heard Alicia's silly speech - Connor is smart, but Elena isn't?Education is not everything, okay?
"No, it's Connor!" Alicia turned around, looked straight at Jenna, and said unconvinced.
"It's Elena!" Perhaps it was because of the failure of this mission that Jenna inevitably became agitated, and actually had an argument with Alicia over such a stupid question.
"you!"
Seeing the raging anger in the eyes of the two girls, Ario couldn't help but sighed, "I don't know who is smarter, Connor or Elena, I just know that if you look at the progress, they are not the smartest now. Either of the two."
"Who is that?!" Jenna and Alicia immediately spoke together, squinting at Ario, as if Ario had said Bruno's words, and they were about to join hands to mock Ario.
"See for yourself." Ario shrugged, not bothering to argue with them.
——The real winner in life is not either of you two, but the one who has been standing next to them without saying a word, okay? !
Jenna and Alicia hurriedly looked into the field when they heard the words.
Bruno——was struggling, the piece of wood was about to be split in two by him.
Elena—it's about the same, wood is still wood, she is still her.
Connor - came in the shortest time, and the wood in his hand was still intact.
Lillian--
and many more? !
When did Lillian's piece of wood open? !
Elena and Alicia didn't bother arguing anymore, and watched as Yili slightly changed the shape of the wooden block in a few turns, and then pulled out the wooden sticks that made up the wooden block neatly!
In the blink of an eye, a small brass key appeared in the opponent's palm.
—Wait, how did this happen? !
——It felt like a wrong eye, and the Oriental Rubik's Cube was opened!
——Even if it is the first time to spell the Rubik's Cube, it is impossible to fight so fast!
——This is IQ suppression!Proper IQ suppression!Nothing to say! ! !
The audience stared dumbfounded at Yili, the wooden lock that turned around in the hands of Bruno and Elena without turning anything out, just turned into a pile of wooden sticks in the other party's hands so simply and easily up? !
This is too incredible! ! !
Eli sighed softly.
Kong Mingsuo, also known as Lubansuo, like Jiulianhuan, is a memory of Chinese students.
There is always a time when this kind of fun gadget is all the rage in middle and high school classes.
If there are parents who are committed to early education, then many children have played with these ancient and magical toys when they were young.
And the one in their hands now is by no means the most difficult one.
So, these contestants were abused not by the program crew, but by the ancient Chinese 2000 years ago...
Yili sighed, and then secretly sighed with emotion for the glory of the motherland, and then, under the envious eyes of others, used the small brass key
Jenna and the others, who were supposed to be in the lead, almost missed the flight from Bangkok to Japan. To make matters worse, when they flew to Kansai International Airport, there were some problems with the airport's runway arrangement, so the plane had to stay in the sky for a long time until 4 o'clock. It landed smoothly in the middle of the day, and at that time, another flight was almost there.
Listening to the notification of the successful landing on the radio, Jenna had the illusion of finally escaping from the sky, and leaned on her friend's shoulder very tiredly—this flight was too tortuous!From departure to arrival it has not been smooth!
"...Let's go." Elena patted her friend's shoulder and comforted her.
At least, they were not behind, and they should have arrived a little earlier than the other flight.
"Yeah." Jenna patted her cheek, and then regained her composure.
The two and the father-daughter team got off the plane one after another, and after exchanging yen at the airport, they hurried to the city.
Ten minutes later, five other teams also arrived in Japan.
An hour later, the seven teams met at Tosaya.
"Hello, let's do the task." The five teams saw two teams busy on the side of the road at a glance.
"Okay, come here." The middle-aged store owner came out, nodded to them, and signaled the contestants to stand by the wooden platform outside the store—there are these foreigners working for him, and this store It is also a good publicity for him, he will not let them work in the house, of course, let the neighbors and passers-by come and see.
"In this way, you need to stir it from time to time, add some water, and beat it very soft." The owner asked two helpers to demonstrate how to make rice cakes for the players, and let the players look at the demonstration finished product in the wooden basin next to him, "Finally, Do this."
"Okay, we understand." The owner's English is not very good, but the contestants also understand their task this time - this is a completely physical work!
The black brothers looked at each other and grinned at each other.
This task is too beneficial to them!
They love tasks like this!
"Let's start." Yili and Xie Cheng also put down their backpacks, each holding a long mallet, and stood by the wooden platform.
Washed glutinous rice has already been placed in the not-deep wooden platform, and they just need to beat hard to get the natural stickiness of the glutinous rice, so that the glutinous rice can be turned into a whole ball of rice cake embryos.
"Okay." Xie Cheng shook the gavel in his hand, looked for the feel, and then nodded to Yi Li.
The two immediately worked hard like everyone else.
Making rice cakes is a very mechanical job.
Perhaps for these masters who are engaged in the traditional pastry industry, they can spend a few years or more than ten years learning how to use skillful strength to make the rice cakes soft and waxy with the smallest effort—of course, the smallest effort is also You have to work hard, not really just being lazy and slippery, but just learning how to use every ounce of strength in place.
But for the players, this is real work!It doesn't take a lot of effort to break even the glutinous rice, let alone the soft and tough rice cakes.
"Elena, how do you think we're doing?" Seeing the other five teams rushing over, Jenna couldn't help but feel anxious, especially, she also understood that for players with strong physiques, this task must be more important. easy.Jenna didn't want to lose their precious advantage, and wished that the glutinous rice would spontaneously turn into a white and soft ball of rice cakes in the next second.
"Maybe... not so good?" Elena signaled Jenna to stop first, bent down to look at the rice cake balls in the wooden platform, and shook her head at Jenna - the finished rice cake in the wooden basin was smooth and delicate, But their rice cakes were just taking shape, and the large pieces of half-broken glutinous rice were still wrapped in the rice cake balls, which didn't have that delicate feeling at all.
"Hasn't this already turned into a ball?" Jenna didn't understand the charm of the rice cake, anyway, wouldn't it look like it?Maybe, the boss also thinks that it's enough for them to hit this level!She and Elena are not real helpers, so they don't need to be serious. As long as the boss says it's okay, she doesn't want to beat it any more-God knows, after only ten minutes of beating, her hands are already sore. Like myself!
"Then, why don't we ask?" Elena also hesitated, let alone Jenna, even she was too tired.However, Jenna has one advantage, that is, no matter how proud her personality is, and no matter how unreasonable she is, she will never shirk when it is time to work hard and push everything to others.This is why Elena is willing to compete with Jenna.
Seriously, if this level of rice cakes can pass, but they continue to work, isn't it a waste of effort?At that time, other teams have passed the test with such finished products, but they have worked stupidly for a long time, and that will be a disadvantage.Who knows how much effort they will have to exert in the following tasks?Thinking of this, Elena also felt that it would be good to ask more.
With Elena's consent, Jenna quickly raised her hand to signal, "Shopkeeper, we are ready, is this okay?"
Like everyone else, the shopkeeper who was watching these foreigners work immediately came over. When he saw the rough rice cake embryos on the wooden platform of the two people, he didn't squat down to take a closer look, and shook his head directly at the two people, "No , this one can’t, that one can.”
The shopkeeper showed them the finished rice cake balls in the wooden basin, and let the two of them see the difference between what they made and what was qualified.
"Okay, thank you, we will do it again." Jenna and Elena couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they were denied by the store's main board, they could only bow their heads and continue to rework.
For a while, the whole small shop street was filled with the sound of cracking rice cakes alternately.
"I'll turn over the rice cakes." Xie Cheng signaled Yili to stop.
"Yeah." Yili quickly moved the mallet away to avoid hitting Xie Cheng. At the same time, she also took the opportunity to rub her arms that were a little stiff from excessive force - she kept beating the rice cake vigorously. For ordinary people, it is definitely a heavy burden.
"Are you tired?" Xie Cheng was pouring some water on the rice cake balls that were gradually forming, and when he looked up, he saw Yili rubbing her arms and wrists, and immediately thought, with Yili's physical strength, it is really too hard to persist until now So he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to take a break?" This task was done by two people together, so he can bear a little more.
"I'm fine." Yili immediately smiled when she heard this, and let go of her wrist, "Let's continue."
"Okay." Xie Cheng sighed lightly, knowing that he couldn't convince the other party, so he decided to put in more effort to complete the two tasks as soon as possible.
At this time, it was only 5:[-] in the morning, many shops were not open, and there were very few passers-by.
Occasionally, some people stop to watch, but they leave quickly. Only the residents on this street will curiously poke their heads out of the upstairs windows, or sit in their own shops with their own breakfast to watch, or their personalities Only those who are more cheerful will come over.
The whole street is filled with the unique sense of tranquility in the early morning, and the occasional whispers of onlookers cannot break this tranquility.
The players repeat this kind of mechanical labor. Their bodies have not recovered from the stiffness of flying for a long time, and their minds are not sober because of the unsteady sleep on the plane. They are yawning and distracted from their work. ...
"Aw!" It was a man's scream that broke the tranquility.
"Phil?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Claire, who was a little dazed, immediately woke up and looked at her husband.
"Hiss—" Mr. Dunphy jumped up holding his red fingers, gasping for air uncontrollably.
"What's wrong with you? Phil!" Claire quickly put down the gavel, rushing to her husband anxiously.
"You..." Mr. Dunphy looked at his wife tearfully, "Your hammer hit me..."
He just wanted to flip through the rice cake balls, but even though he told Claire to stop for a while, Claire gave him a hammer without mercy... Why is he always the one who gets hurt? ! !Mr. Dunphy was very wronged.
--hahahahahahahaha!
——Phil is so pitiful, but I really think it's so funny hahahaha!
——Is this a natural sense of joy?The Dunphys contracted the laughing points of this episode of my show, hahahaha!
— I also think it's funny, but I hope Dunphy is okay, otherwise that hammer was not a joke.
The audience, who were nervously watching the players work, couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Phil, I didn't hear you!" Claire quickly apologized, "Is it important? Is it painful? Did I use a lot of force? Do you want the medical staff to take a look?" Claire fired like a cannonball ask a question.
"Hiss, it's okay." Mr. Dunphy stretched his fingers and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no serious pain—however, this also shows that Claire didn't use any strength at all, but was just lazy, right?Thinking of this, Mr. Dunphy couldn't help but glanced at his wife with a little reproach.
"Cough, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine." Claire also felt a little guilty, "Then you take a break, and I will continue?"
"It's okay, we can come together." Mr. Deng Fei didn't intend to be lazy, anyway, he was only injured a little bit, not serious, and he also wanted to finish this mission quickly.
So, after a short rest, the two returned to work.
On the side, other people were also secretly vigilant, reminding themselves that they must not repeat the same mistakes.
"Boss, can we do this?" Soon, the black brother finally spoke up.
"Hmm..." The owner walked over, carefully inspected the finished products of the two, and nodded with satisfaction. The rice cakes produced by the two big and small guys are also sticky and tough. "Top grade!" The boss said to The two gave thumbs up.
"Thank you!" Although they didn't understand what Shangpin meant, the two of them still understood this common gesture in most countries. They couldn't help showing surprise, and hugged their brother heavily.
"Here." The shopkeeper was not stingy, and quickly handed out the first clue card.
"Thank you! Thank you!" The two brothers smiled happily, and happily took the clue card from each other.
At this time, the surrounding residents also applauded loudly for them—the Japanese have always been very involved in this aspect, and even the onlookers were more serious than the crowds of other countries, and it was even a bit exaggerated.The black boys grinned so much that their white teeth came out. While waving to them, they took their backpacks and walked out of the crowd that made way for them.
Seeing that some teams had already completed the task, the other teams couldn't help feeling anxious, and the beating movements that had been a little tired became powerful again. Everyone's foreheads were sweating, and their arms became more and more sore, but no one complained.
"Mr. Shopkeeper!" Jenna raised her hand again to signal. They came earlier, even though they were not as vigorous as the black brothers, but they never slacked off or complained. They have been working diligently until now, so they should pass!
"Hmm..." The shopkeeper walked over and carefully inspected their finished products. Under Jenna's expectant eyes, he finally nodded, "This is what rice cakes should look like! Here it is!"
"Thank you!" Jenna couldn't understand the unfamiliar language at all, but she still understood the last English word, and immediately hugged Elena with joy—they finally didn't have to suffer this kind of trouble again! ! !
"Let's go!" Elena put her bag on her back and handed Jenna's bag to her, urging.
"Yeah!" Jenna lost her complacent mood, and nodded immediately - the black brothers have already taken the lead in front, and the other teams are also watching behind them, and they can't delay for a second!
"Shopkeeper, we are ready!"
"No, this won't work..."
"Shopkeeper, here!"
"Well, yes."
Other players also raised their hands one after another, but some teams passed the shopkeeper's inspection, while others were sent back.
"Detour mission: doll or costume?" Yi Li and Xie Cheng, who finally completed the mission, opened the clue card and read.
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, "Of course it's a Chinese dress."
"Dolls are an important part of Japanese folk culture, with lively and flexible shapes, complicated and exquisite clothing, accessories, and hair accessories. This time, the contestants will walk to the Miyamoto doll workshop. The team that chose the Chinese costume Under the guidance of the puppet designer, a set of Japanese traditional doll costumes will be completed, and after the designer’s approval, the clue card for the next stage will be obtained.” The team that chooses the puppet will have to do it by itself a puppet.
"Let's go, go to Miyamoto Doll Workshop." After hearing Yili's words, a deep smile appeared on Xie Cheng's face.
"Yeah." Yili and Xie Cheng looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing—their chance has come!
The two were a bit behind in the task of making rice cakes. The black brothers, blonde sisters, and Sean all left one step ahead of them, and the other three teams seemed to be catching up soon.The two must hurry up and complete this task as quickly as possible before they can catch up with the team in front, and maybe they can get some opportunities for them.
"Hi, may I ask how to get to Miyamoto Doll Studio?" Yili asked a young girl next to her—if she was young, she should be better at English.Above all, they need each other to show them the way.
"Miya Hinata Workshop?" The black-haired girl with two cute low ponytails confirmed to the two of them, and after seeing them nodding, she immediately said in unproficient Japanese English, "Go out from this street and turn left , walk across a street, turn right at the first traffic light, and after a few steps, you will see the store. In the glass window at their door, there are many human figures, which are cute dolls, easy to recognize. "The girl explained to the two very seriously.
"Okay, thank you!" Yili and Xie Cheng memorized it, found that it was not complicated, and immediately thanked the girl.
Yili can actually understand Japanese, it doesn't matter how complicated the girl's speech is.
However, Yili did not fill in this point in the information submitted to the program team. Otherwise, it would be an exaggeration. If there are players who can speak seven languages, it would be too unfair to other teams-although, the language itself is What others have learned through hard work is not an advantage for nothing, but this gap is always a bit big. Considering the balance of the team, the program team may instead screen out these overly strong players.
Of course, this may also be Yili's unfounded worry, but in order to avoid losing the audition, Yili and Xie Cheng still decided to reserve this point-in fact, it is not only about language, Other aspects have not been fully disclosed.However, for this reason, these advantages cannot be exposed now.But when asking for directions, it is always better to understand more, just like having multiple hole cards always makes people feel more at ease.
"Are you in a hurry? Do you want me to lead the way for you?" Yuzi asked kindly. She saw that these two people seemed to be in a hurry, but it was still early and it was not time for school to start. She just happened to be able to take them. Take a trip.
"Thank you, but the rules forbid us to find someone to lead the way, but thank you very much." Yili shook her head and said with a smile.
"Then, this is for you." Yuzi vaguely understood that it was not allowed, so she was very understanding, and took out a box of fruit from the store and handed it to the two of them, "I wish you good luck, this is my family's dessert, very delicious Delicious." The girl is the owner's daughter.
"Then, thank you." Yili originally wanted to decline, but saw the shopkeeper not far away nodded to them, and then accepted.
After saying goodbye to the girl briefly, Yili and Xie Cheng didn't have extra time to greet each other, and quickly ran to the direction the girl said.
Making rice cakes had consumed a lot of energy for the two of them, and then they ran all the way. When the two of them saw the shop with dolls in the window that the girl said, they were slightly or heavily out of breath.
"Hello, let's do the mission, the Chinese clothing mission."
As soon as they walked into the store, they saw a young woman in traditional clothes, and the two immediately talked.
"Okay, please follow me." The woman nodded with a smile, motioning for the two to follow.
After bypassing the wall, the real workshop is behind.
Along the way, there are large and small glass cabinets inlaid in the walls. The cabinets are full of dolls with vivid facial features and exquisite clothes. The dolls are placed at special angles, as if they are watching passers-by. Yili and Xie Cheng Somewhat uncomfortable.
"Teacher Inoue, these two are also here to do a task." The young woman led them to the studio where doll clothes were designed, and bowed to the woman who was sitting alone in the room.
"Okay, thank you, Mari." The younger woman who was called a teacher stood up and replied with a smile.
"Hello." Seeing the young woman getting up to leave, Yi Li and Xie Cheng greeted each other.
"Hello." The female designer nodded to the two, opened a glass cabinet, and put two small and exquisite ethnic costumes in the center of the workbench, "This is the clothes you want to make, and this is the finished product for your reference , but you can’t disassemble it, you can only observe it. Here are the fabrics you will use, and the tools are on the table, and you can call me when you’re done.”
"Okay, we understand." The female designer's English is very fluent. Although she has an accent, it does not affect the understanding of the two.
Yi Li and Xie Cheng put down their backpacks and sat down by the workbench.
Among all the players, I am afraid that there is no one who is more familiar with this work than them.
Even if the corresponding talents have disappeared after the game, the skills they have practiced by themselves will not be so forgotten. Although, when they first came into contact with these tools, both of them were somewhat unfamiliar.
"Do one piece for each person?" Xie Cheng suggested.
"Okay, I'll make this light red one." Yili nodded.
"Okay, then I'll make this dark blue one." Xie Cheng didn't object.
These two sets of clothes are only the size of a palm, but they are exquisite and complicated but not inferior to real clothes.
Every border, every color inlay is so exquisite that not even a trace of extra thread can be seen.
Yili and Xie Cheng respectively measured the size of the clothes, and cut them directly on the fabric—that is, they both had the confidence to draw lines on the fabric and cut them without drawing a paper pattern.However, this is also because this is a part of the competition, not a real design and tailoring competition, so the two can skip that step.
The scissors were flying, and the fabrics of various colors were cut into predetermined shapes and arranged on the workbench one by one.
The sewing machine made a low sound of work, and the sleeves, neckline, and front and back plackets were all stitched together one by one.
From small sleeves to scarlet hakamas, from belts to handbags, the structure of clothing accessories is taking shape.
The needles are threaded, the edges are inlaid with colors, and each piece of delicate clothing is gradually formed.
The female designer's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't believe that someone could do it so fast and so skillfully, as if they were not newbies making humanoid clothes for the first time, but the most skilled masters of tailoring—somehow , the designer also got the truth, at least, the former Yili and Xie Cheng can indeed be called young masters.
--So fast!
——No, it’s almost flying! ! !
The audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
——Did the program team speed up in the later stage?These two also look too skilled!
——No, there should be no acceleration, these two people are simply... fast.
There are always professionals among the audience, who refute rumors and popularize science from time to time.
——Wait, so these two people are handmade emperors? !
——Watching them draw lines and move scissors without hesitation!It's so easy to come by!
——I would say, did I think I saw the accelerated teaching videos of the online masters? !
——Based on the finished product, this is definitely a true master! ! !
As a result, the audience unconsciously became aware of the truth.
At this moment, two more teams walked in almost at the same time.
"Lilian, Chester." Brianna put down her backpack, took a breath, and then greeted the two of them.
"Brianna, you're here." Yili raised her head and greeted Brianna with a smile. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Sean and Dexter walking in after the father and daughter. "You guys?" Are you lost? How did you get there?" Yi Li couldn't help asking, if she remembered correctly, these two people should have completed the task of making rice cakes before she and Xie Cheng.
"Uh, we did another task first." It was also the first time Sean spoke to Yi Li, and he was taken aback before replying.
"The other task was too difficult, and we wanted to try this." Dexter added - it is too difficult to polish and carve on the half-finished clay embryo to make a humanoid doll that is exactly the same as the sample!Instead of wasting time there, it's better to change to a simpler task!After all, giving up in time is also a game strategy!
After the three teams greeted each other, they sat down and concentrated on completing their tasks.
Sean and Dexter were also a little uneasy at first. After all, they gave up the progress on the other side and could only start from scratch here. Who knows whether this task is easier or more difficult than the other?However, after seeing the two finished products that were almost completed in front of Lilian and Chester, the two of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—from this point of view, the task here shouldn't be difficult, right?
Hearing the post-interview of the two people's mental journey interspersed on TV, the audience couldn't bear to see the end of the two people!
— Wake up!Who gave you the illusion that the task here is not difficult? !
——The task is not difficult and it is divided into people, okay?Not hard for the two of them, but not necessarily good for you? !
——I have only one thing to say: Recognize your own identity, the handicapped and the handmade emperor are different!
——That's right, don't judge yourself by the process of the handicraft emperor!He will die miserably! ! !
The audience simply broke their hearts for the two.
Hey, who isn't?Who didn't look at the handmade emperor videos on Youtube when they were young and wanted to do something with great interest?In the end, the reality taught them a hard lesson—the gods are different from ordinary people, okay?Seeing that the great master easily and methodically makes each piece of finished product that makes people drool, but if you change yourself, it means that your hands are not your own!
My hand, why are you so disabled? !
This is the cry that everyone has had.
At this moment, watching Xiao En and the two of them take a look at the finished product of the couple group, and sat down confidently, the audience could only shake their heads helplessly.Occasionally someone would say: Maybe these two people are also good at this task, isn't it too early to say anything?But this kind of statement was quickly refuted by more people: If you are better at this task, why not choose it from the beginning?Obviously cornered, okay? !
"Hi, we're done." Yili and Xie Cheng gestured to the designer.
"Hmm..." The designer has been paying attention to the working conditions of the contestants, so he naturally knows the progress of the two. Seeing that everything in front of him is exquisite, like the perfect finished product made by the most experienced master, it is almost the same as the sample , the designer has nothing to be picky about, so the two of them passed the level as a matter of course, "Here are your clue cards, congratulations."
"Thank you!" Yili and Xie Cheng quickly took it and thanked each other.
"Roadblock mission: who is better at deciphering?" Yili read out the content on the new clue card.
Xie Cheng paused, then shrugged helplessly at Yili.
"Okay, it's me." Yili also laughed, turned over and continued to read, "An ancient princess was trapped in the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and the contestants have to take the Shinkansen to Kyoto to unlock the ancient mechanism door of the Imperial Inner Court, that is, You can rescue the princess and get the princess' token, which is the clue card for the next stage."
The two carried their backpacks, ran out of the workshop under the envious eyes of the other two teams, and took a taxi to Shin-Osaka Station.
While waiting for the bus after buying the ticket, the two met Alicia and Connor who hurried to catch up.
The four of them greeted each other briefly, and boarded the Shinkansen that happened to be coming.
"You chose the puppet mission?" In the car, Xie Cheng and Connor chatted casually.
"Yes." Connor nodded.
"I heard that the puppet task is difficult?" Xie Cheng asked again, this is what Xiao En and the others said.
"It's okay." Connor smiled and did not refute - this task is certainly not easy, but for a surgeon who is good at performing precision surgery with a scalpel, it is also easy to change tools and do some simple carving and polishing work. It's not that hard is it?
"Are you the first to complete it?" Xie Cheng finally asked the question he really wanted to ask.
"No, Ario and the others are the first, and Jenna and the others are the second. We went a little late." Connor shook his head. Even though he was indeed better at this task than those two teams, he got there after all. It's a little late.Even if those two teams failed once or twice, they were still a little faster than him.Being able to catch this bus is already an extraordinary performance of his.
"It seems that they are the only two teams ahead of us." Xie Cheng didn't hold back his news, this sentence was equivalent to telling Connor that he and Yili were the first team to complete another detour.
"Then we might still have a chance." Connor clenched his fist, this is the time he is most likely to catch up with the vanguard, and if he is lucky, he might even be able to fight for the first place, "Wish us good luck. "Connor said to Xie Cheng.
"No, I wish you and Lilian good luck." Xie Cheng smiled and spread his hands.
"Huh?" Connor reacted immediately, and smiled at Yili, "Then wish us luck."
"Wish us good luck." Yili also smiled and nodded to Connor.
A quarter of an hour later, the two teams arrived in Kyoto.
The taxi quickly brought them to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. The two teams bought their tickets, asked the staff, and ran to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace.
Maybe it was the special arrangement of the program group, or maybe it was the retro arrangement in the imperial palace. The two teams saw many guards wearing traditional samurai uniforms and various armors along the way.
In front of the gate of the imperial court, they finally saw the two teams that arrived one step ahead of them.
Ario and Jenna were anxiously standing a little far away, while Bruno and Elena were sitting on the ground regardless of their image. They each held a wooden product similar to a Rubik's cube in their hands, and they were racking their brains to turn it over and over again.
"Hello." Yili and Connor immediately ran in front of the general wearing a red and yellow cloak—seeing the color of the cloak, they knew that this was the person involved in the checkpoint set by the program group.
"Please." The other party was sitting behind a long table, and compared the many wooden blocks on the long table with regret, signaling the two to take it by themselves.
and many more……
When Yili saw these familiar wooden blocks at close range, she couldn't help being stunned. It wasn't until Connor took one casually first that she came back to her senses, followed by another, and slowly rubbed it in her palm. .
"The key to the gate of the imperial court is hidden in Zhuge Kongming's wooden lock." The general said one last sentence, and then motioned for the two to go to Bruno and Elena, and try to open the wooden lock by himself—of course, by smashing it hard. Obviously not allowed.
"What is this……"
Connor frowned and walked over while trying to turn the wooden block, but obviously, the so-called wooden lock with many edges and corners made him a little bit at a loss.
--What exactly is this?Orient's Rubik's Cube?
—Maybe it’s a special-shaped Rubik’s cube?It looks so difficult, can these contestants really solve it?
——That’s right, even if you give them a Rubik’s Cube and ask them to put together the colors, not everyone can spell it out, let alone this seemingly mysterious wooden block.
The audience was as confused as the contestants. It can be said that many people have never seen this kind of device in their life.
——It is estimated that many teams will be stuck here...
The audience said very presciently.
In the camera, most of the contestants are frowning.
The contestants who are trying to unlock the wooden lock have no idea at all. They don’t know how the show crew hid the key in the lock. A contestant like Bruno, who is a little short-tempered, can’t wait to have a hammer in hand to crack this wooden thing violently. up!
The teammates who were watching from a little distance away were also very anxious, watching the teams rushing over, but the unlocking task of their own teammates did not make any progress. In fact, what kind of wood was used in the hands of most people, what is it like now... …
"Bruno, man, you must hurry up!" Ario had already muttered to the side.
"Elena, Elena, Elena..." Jenna was also a little anxious at this time, and kept praying with her fingers on her lips.
"Connor must be fine! He must be the first to unlock that wooden lock!" Alicia has full confidence in Connor, which is not surprising. After all, if it weren't for Connor's ability to turn the tide, she and Connor would have was eliminated!Before, Connor could!This time, Connor is absolutely fine!Whether it's Connor's performance along the way, or his education and life experience, Alicia has full confidence in Connor's IQ!
"Hmph, Elena was the first to unlock the wooden lock!" Jenna snorted disdainfully when she heard Alicia's silly speech - Connor is smart, but Elena isn't?Education is not everything, okay?
"No, it's Connor!" Alicia turned around, looked straight at Jenna, and said unconvinced.
"It's Elena!" Perhaps it was because of the failure of this mission that Jenna inevitably became agitated, and actually had an argument with Alicia over such a stupid question.
"you!"
Seeing the raging anger in the eyes of the two girls, Ario couldn't help but sighed, "I don't know who is smarter, Connor or Elena, I just know that if you look at the progress, they are not the smartest now. Either of the two."
"Who is that?!" Jenna and Alicia immediately spoke together, squinting at Ario, as if Ario had said Bruno's words, and they were about to join hands to mock Ario.
"See for yourself." Ario shrugged, not bothering to argue with them.
——The real winner in life is not either of you two, but the one who has been standing next to them without saying a word, okay? !
Jenna and Alicia hurriedly looked into the field when they heard the words.
Bruno——was struggling, the piece of wood was about to be split in two by him.
Elena—it's about the same, wood is still wood, she is still her.
Connor - came in the shortest time, and the wood in his hand was still intact.
Lillian--
and many more? !
When did Lillian's piece of wood open? !
Elena and Alicia didn't bother arguing anymore, and watched as Yili slightly changed the shape of the wooden block in a few turns, and then pulled out the wooden sticks that made up the wooden block neatly!
In the blink of an eye, a small brass key appeared in the opponent's palm.
—Wait, how did this happen? !
——It felt like a wrong eye, and the Oriental Rubik's Cube was opened!
——Even if it is the first time to spell the Rubik's Cube, it is impossible to fight so fast!
——This is IQ suppression!Proper IQ suppression!Nothing to say! ! !
The audience stared dumbfounded at Yili, the wooden lock that turned around in the hands of Bruno and Elena without turning anything out, just turned into a pile of wooden sticks in the other party's hands so simply and easily up? !
This is too incredible! ! !
Eli sighed softly.
Kong Mingsuo, also known as Lubansuo, like Jiulianhuan, is a memory of Chinese students.
There is always a time when this kind of fun gadget is all the rage in middle and high school classes.
If there are parents who are committed to early education, then many children have played with these ancient and magical toys when they were young.
And the one in their hands now is by no means the most difficult one.
So, these contestants were abused not by the program crew, but by the ancient Chinese 2000 years ago...
Yili sighed, and then secretly sighed with emotion for the glory of the motherland, and then, under the envious eyes of others, used the small brass key
