You are a star, why do you have all the skills from the underworld?

When Xu Yi swam to the third lock, Yin Bowen and Alice were able to catch up.

This lock has a different structure from the previous two locks.

Although the exterior looks the same, the interior design is quite different.

But for Xu Yi, this little design was not a problem at all. Having mastered the magical skill of opening locks, he felt as if he had the Dugu Nine Swords in his hand. He could defeat the world's swordsmanship with just one sword-breaking move.

For a mere mechanical lock, if it takes more than three seconds, Xu Yi is considered new to the business.

The reason why he stopped was, firstly, to wait for Yin Bowen and Alice, and secondly, because he did not want to appear too perverted.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the black list organization, if their carefully designed level is broken by themselves in one second, the black list organizers may break the defense on the spot.

Xu Yi deliberately made his movements slower.

However, in the eyes of other players on the field, Xu Yi was still abnormal even if he slowed down.

So far, Xu Yi has spent a total of twenty-two seconds.

Twenty-two seconds!
Not to mention that there is a lock in the water, even if there is no lock, it might take an average person more than ten seconds to swim twenty meters, right?
Daisy said to herself resentfully:
"Oh, if I had known it, I would have gone with Alexandre Dumas."

Anyway, dragging one to two is also dragging, and dragging one to three is dragging. According to Xu Yi's progress, there is no need to go back for a breath, so bringing one more person is just a matter of extra pairs of chopsticks.

Luide smiled, comforted Daisy and said:
"There's no need to be so pessimistic."

"At least, we have a strong teammate in our team. This is a good thing for all of us, isn't it?"

Daisy smiled helplessly.

That’s all I can think of.

Thirty-five seconds later, Xu Yi was the first to surface.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Bowen and Alice also surfaced.

Although Alice has been tied to Xu Yi, Xu Yi clearly distinguishes between 'insiders' and 'outsiders', and does not show mercy to her, so he leaves Yin Bowen at the end.

The second level is like this, Yin Bowen goes up first.

The same goes for the third level.

Yin Bowen was behind Xu Yi, and Alice was behind Yin Bowen.

All three passed the test.

[The host holds his breath after clearing the level! 】

[IQ +0, current IQ is 168, rated excellent. 】

[Physical fitness +3, currently 126, rating of 100 kills (150~)]

[Acquire new skills: Water Breathing]

[I wish the host to become a qualified all-round craftsman soon. 】

Xu Yi dried himself off, changed clothes in the locker room, and returned to the team.

"Captain, fortunately you have lived up to your command."

"Very good!" Luide no longer regards Xu Yi as an ordinary teammate. This teammate is likely to be a key piece to whether his team can go further, and he must win over him. Just listen to Louise continue: "Mr. Alexandre Dumas, regarding the skills of unlocking, I don't know if I can..."

Everyone knows how to hold their breath.

But unlocking is a skill that has a threshold.

If you haven't practiced it, you may be blind.

Xu Yi thought about it for a while. In fact, there are video explanations of the general routines for the skill of unlocking. It doesn't matter if you teach a few tricks. So he enthusiastically communicated with Louise, Daisy, Little Tomato and others.

Of course, deeper things cannot be learned by simply saying a few words on the spot.

Ten minutes later, Louise realized something.

Little Tomato was overjoyed:
"That's it, that's it."

"Mr. Alexandre Dumas is indeed a genius. It is simpler and more effective than any lock-picking skills I have heard before. I think I can try it?"

Haha, I hope I don’t die trying.

Xu Yi encouraged:
"This matter wasn't that complicated originally."

"It's just that Heibang put the unlocking scene in the water, giving everyone an invisible pressure. In fact, as long as you stabilize your mentality, there will be no problem."

Little Tomato hummed and then said:

"Captain, I think I can give it a try."

"You and Daisy, do you want to come with me?"

Louise frowned.

If you follow Xu Yi, you are sure to win.

It is still unknown whether you, a locksmith who has become a monk on the way, can successfully open the iron lock on the black list. If we all follow you, if something goes wrong, all three of us may be drowned in the waterway.

Daisy was surprised and said:
"I can!"

"Mr. Tomato, are you sure you're OK?"

Little Tomato nodded fiercely, and then said: "To be honest, I used to work in a key-matching shop. I often matched people's keys and occasionally unlocked people. However, later on, because I would shout when I met people: Are you worthy? Your boss fired you."

Xu Yi: Damn, he turns out to be a fun person.

After hearing Little Tomato's words, Daisy finally no longer had any doubts and was sure:

"Then I'll be with you."

Louise was unmoved.

He never puts his destiny in other people's hands.

Just listen to Louise say:
"Okay, then you two need to be careful."

"I'll take another look at the situation. Don't worry, as the captain, I won't be eliminated so easily."

Little Tomato took Daisy to the third area.

Xu Yi didn't have the leisure to care about the passing situation of Little Tomato and others.

He led Yin Bowen directly to the fourth area.

Alice naturally follows wherever she goes.

The fourth area is called virtual reality.

A level with a very contemporary feel.

The entire space is built like a black box. Except for the place where you stand under your feet, the other five walls are circuit networks. It looks quite a bit like science fiction.

Xu Yi had basically zero skills in computers.

The skill rewards obtained in these levels, whether it is time slow movement, fighting skills, or water breathing, are all related to the computer.

Therefore, at this level, Xu Yi could only rely on Yin Bowen.

"What do you think?" Xu Yi pursed his lips towards Yin Bowen.

Yin Bowen's attention has always been on the fourth area.

For him, this is not only because this is his major, but also because he has come through the first three levels with soy sauce, and he also wants to prove himself.

In other words, he is also ranked 76th on the blacklist.

Xu Yi's ranking is 100th.

He had to help Xu Yi at least, otherwise he would be embarrassed even if he cleared all the levels.

Seeing Xu Yi asking about it now, Yin Bowen couldn't help but murmured:

"This thing is really well designed."

"The five-sided circuit network does not have any switches. There is a computer in the middle. It is not yet certain whether it is online. However, since the black list has placed a computer here, then we must borrow this computer to pass the test."

"Fortunately, as long as you have a computer, it won't be a big problem."

Xu Yi: "I absolutely believe you."

Alice disagreed. Didn't Xiao Dumas also follow Mr. Alexandre Dumas to make soy sauce?

What are you bragging about here?
She remained silent and listened to Xu Yi continue: "How about it, we want to go in and give it a try, right?"

"There's no rush." ​​Yin Bowen shook his head and said, "The black list only gives half an hour, but it usually takes a lot of time to break through a firewall. Therefore, I must be fully confident before going in."

"Then just keep observing, there's no rush anyway."

Xu Yi agreed with Yin Bowen's opinion.

At this moment, other players are still trying to find ways to pass the third level. The three of them are really not in a hurry.

This black box is absolutely invisible from the outside.

However, the Black List organization copied the overall situation of the fourth area into a small model and placed it in the fourth area for the players to observe.

Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to care much about the circuit network, Alice couldn't help but said:
"Mr. Alexandre Dumas, don't you look at this?"

Xu Yi said truthfully: "I can't understand."

Alice was shocked when she heard this:
"You...you don't understand these circuit networks?"

In Alice's view, Xu Yi is the contestant destined to reach the end. In this case, he should be familiar with everything, how could there be areas that he doesn't understand?

But Xu Yi didn't think so.

How fresh!

Why should I know so much?

The more you know, the more tiring you will be.

Xu Yi has long understood this truth.

Just listen to Xu Yi smile and say:
"Is Miss Alice proficient in this?"

Alice Jones quickly shook her head and denied, "I, I don't quite understand this either."

"That's it."

Xu Yi shrugged, spread his hands and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. When it comes to computer programs, it would be best to leave it to younger brother Dumas."

After hearing this, Alice looked at Yin Bowen:

Could it be that Xiao Dumas is also a talent?
But think about it.

Players who can be on the black list must have no connections that are pure soy sauce. Everyone should have their own unique skills to become famous. For example, Xu Yi has equal emphasis on strength and wisdom; for example, she herself is born with a pair of eyes that can see through illusions.

Since everyone has the unique ability to beat the bottom of the box, it is not surprising that Dumas has the ability in this area.

Alice smiled and said:
"It turns out that little Dumas is also hiding something secretly."

"That's right." Anyway, he was idle, so Xu Yi stopped talking and began to praise Yin Bowen: "To be honest, every time I secretly went to the river to swim after I was young, my brother Dumas would dismantle the computer at home. Play."

"He has a very powerful ability, which is to dismantle a computer to pieces and then reassemble it completely without any defects."

This kind of legend is usually added to celebrities later.

Yin Bowen was immersed in the fourth area and didn't pay much attention to the chat between Xu Yi and Alice.

However, Alice became very excited after hearing this:
"You have lived together since childhood?"

Xu Yi responded to Alice's doubts with a 'what if' look, and added:
"My name is Alexandre Dumas, and his name is Alexandre Dumas."

"Do you think we have lived together since childhood?"

Alice: "..."

Are these two names your real names, not temporary codenames you took on to participate in the challenge?
Alice can see through illusions and can naturally distinguish the most basic right from wrong.

"I see." Alice said with some envy. "It's really rare to have both of you in the same family at the same time. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a family of geniuses."

It’s passed, it’s been passed!

Who is the genius family?
Brother Yin and I both used our strength in the later stage.

It’s all the result of your own efforts.

Just listen to Xu Yi's perfunctory words:
"It's just so-so!"

"In our place, my brother Dumas and I are in this situation a lot."

"It's really nothing."

If there is a crouching dragon, there must be a phoenix chick.

There was nothing worth discussing in the first place.

How can there be crouching dragons everywhere in the world?

Someone has to play the role of Feng Chu, right?

Unfortunately, Yin Bowen's appearance has been relatively average since he was a child, and he is very inconspicuous among the boys.

It's even more different if you study programming in college.

In the past, he always followed the trend of piracy. After entering college, Yin Bowen became completely rooted in technology and was unscrupulous.

That's why his computer technology has been advancing rapidly.

When I was in college, I successfully cashed in millions by relying on the coding I wrote.

Such a person is certainly considered a genius.

Yin Bowen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the two talking nonsense.

Xu Yi's ability to lie is getting stronger and stronger, and he can basically do it at his fingertips without any hindrance.

Whatever words come into his mouth, he can describe the environment and style, so they sound very real.

Alice moved closer to Yin Bowen.

But I heard Yin Bowen say:

"Miss Alice, if you are not studying this black box, could you please stand further away?"

There's nothing wrong with straight men.

Xu Yi praised Yin Bowen in his heart.

This is people's cooking technique. What do you want to do when you look at it like this?
Stealing skills?

I have been in a relationship with Lao Yin for so many years, and I have never had such dirty thoughts. You, a young lady, actually want to get to know someone's secrets when we first meet?

Alice felt a little embarrassed and took three steps back.

Then he explained:
"I just want to see why the fourth area is called virtual reality."

“There doesn’t seem to be anything virtual about this, right?”

Virtual reality, also called VR. This technology was once so popular that almost every technology company had to brush it aside. However, after two or three years of glory, it has returned to dust.

Except for some wearable devices, everyone has not felt that VR has brought any changes to life.

But when Xu Yi heard this, his heart moved.

The black list organization will not do things without thinking or aimlessly.

Since this level is called virtual reality, whether it has anything to do with VR technology or not, it is at least related to the two keywords of virtuality and reality.

If you just stare at the circuit network in front of you, will you fall into a dead end?

While thinking this way, Xu Yi unconsciously cast an appraising gaze towards the fourth area.

He didn't speak.

Seeing this, Alice did not dare to speak casually for fear of interrupting Xu Yi's thinking.

In her opinion, regardless of whether Xu Yi knew computer technology or not, he definitely understood the matter of 'passing the test'. If she had to choose between Dumas and Dumas, Alice's choice would not change even if Dumas was a talent.

She will firmly choose Alexandre Dumas.

At the very least, big, right?
Just when Xu Yi was immersed in studying the fourth area, Yin Bowen finally saw a clue. He raised his head and said to Xu Yi excitedly:
"Brother, I know!"

"I know what's going on!" (End of Chapter)
