My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

It's really just a gimmick. With this level of difficulty and these rules, it's impossible for anyone to pass the level within the allotted time.

At most, I'll pass the test smoothly.

Just as Qi Chuyao said before we came in, this event was just a gimmick.

Just as Lin Mo was pondering, he saw An Youyu quickly scan the surroundings and then come to the stone gate alone. She picked up one inscription after another from the stone platform next to her and put them into the grooves on the stone gate.

The whole process was very fast; there was no hesitation on her face. In just three breaths, the eight grooves on the stone door were filled.

Right side: [By the mandate of Heaven]

Left side: 【May you live a long and prosperous life】

With a 'click', the stone door slowly opened.

For a moment, Lin Mo stood there, stunned.

what's the situation?

From the moment I entered the room until the stone door opened, less than twenty seconds had passed.

Is this over?

He couldn't help but swallow hard. "Little Fish, how...how did you find a way to pass the level?"

“This is very simple.”

An Youyu turned around and came to Lin Mo's side, pulling his arm as they continued walking forward. As they walked, she explained, "There are many famous quotes and poems by ancient emperors engraved on the wooden pillars in the four corners. Since they were emperors, they must have had the Imperial Seal of the State."

Lin Mo was dumbfounded by such a casual answer. "But the inscriptions on those wooden pillars were all individual characters. Where were the famous quotes or poems?"

An Youyu tilted her head. "Can't it be arranged by itself?"

"..."

Lin Mo was completely bewildered.

Self-arranged?

It's possible, but how can it be done so quickly?

Before Lin Mo could process all of this, he heard another 'click' sound. Looking up, he saw that the second stone door had opened again.

This……

evildoer!

This little girl is a prodigy!

Next, Lin Mo went from surprise to shock, and after passing seven levels in a row, his expression became numb.

I raised my wrist to check the time; less than three minutes had passed since I came in.

Is this girl really going to beat the game in five minutes?

Given the current situation, it is highly likely!

Not only was Lin Mo numb, but Qi Chuyao was the same outside. After sending the two into the secret room, she returned to the front desk and turned on the corresponding surveillance camera.

Having witnessed An Youyu's incredible speed in clearing the level, her mouth was agape enough to fit an egg.

impossible!

This is an illusion, it's all an illusion!

"Lord Laozi, may this decree be swiftly issued! May all demons, monsters, evil spirits, and spirits retreat!"

After reading it aloud, Qi Chuyao rubbed her eyes hard, and then... noticed that An Youyu and Lin Mo had reached the final stage in the surveillance footage.

Instantly, I felt completely awful...

in the secret room.

An Youyu stopped in her tracks. The space she was in was the same as before, but this time the layout of the room was a little different.

In the center stands a huge wooden pillar, so large that it would be difficult for two people to hug it.

The wooden pillars are engraved with various ancient characters, profound and obscure.

There are obvious gaps around the engraving, so it's clear that you can press down on it.

It wasn't surrounded entirely by stone walls, and there was no stone door.

The moment Lin Mo saw the wooden pillar, his eyes lit up; he had finally found something he knew how to do.

While An Youyu was deep in thought, he stepped forward and asked, "Little Yu'er, do you need...?"

Before she could finish speaking, An Youyu's hands moved, circling the wooden pillar and pressing down one ancient character after another, quickly and decisively.

"Click——"

"Click——"

"Click——"

...

As An Youyu pressed the ninth character, an electronic 'ding' sound rang out.

"Congratulations on passing the level. Time taken: 4 minutes and 8 seconds."

The stone wall directly in front of you slowly slides from left to right, leading to the front hall where you first entered.

At the front desk, Qi Chuyao stared blankly at everything, beginning to question the meaning of life.

An Youyu jumped up excitedly, her fair cheeks flushed with excitement, and she held Lin Mo's right hand tightly with both hands.

"Success, I succeeded!"

Lin Mo opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

This kind of escape room experience is completely boring.

There's always this feeling of my intelligence being completely humiliated...

Qi Chuyao arrived at the two of them, her face filled with disbelief. "How...how did you do that?"

Lin Mo pointed to the girl next to him, "Don't ask me, ask her; didn't you realize I was just standing around the whole time?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Chuyao's gaze locked onto An Youyu, and she strode forward to hug her, "Little sister, how exactly did you pass the level?"

Before An Youyu could answer, Lin Mo's voice rang out again, his tone clearly displeased, "I told you to ask, not to hug her. Let go of her!"

"Why are you like this?"

Qi Chuyao retorted, unconvinced, "We're both girls, what's wrong with a hug? Besides, even her sister didn't say anything, so even if you're her brother, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"I'll say it again, let go of my hand!"

Lin Mo was too lazy to argue with Qi Chuyao and coldly repeated what he had just said.

Seeing this, An Youyu subtly freed herself from Qi Chuyao's hands and whispered, "What did you ask me just now, sister?"

Qi Chuyao noticed the girl's action and looked annoyed: "How were you able to pass the test so quickly?"

"The difficulty of the levels increases progressively, but you're clearing them faster and faster. Even cheating wouldn't be this outrageous!"

"It's not as exaggerated as my sister said."

An Youyu answered honestly, "When you encounter a problem, you solve it; that's how you get through it."

Qi Chuyao: "..."

When you encounter a problem, how do you solve it?

Is this answer for real?

"that……"

An Youyu asked, "Sister, if I complete the game within five minutes, will I get a reward of five thousand yuan?"

"of course."

Qi Chuyao took a deep breath, returned to the front desk, and handed over five thousand yuan along with the previous deposit to An Youyu.

"Since I'm in business, I'm not going to renege on my debts. Let alone five thousand yuan, even if you can successfully complete the hellish difficulty of mode B and mode C, I'll still give you the money in full."

An Youyu blinked her big, watery eyes. "Is it okay?"

"What can?"

Qi Chuyao looked stunned and didn't quite react.

Lin Mo suppressed a laugh and lazily reminded her, "Does my sister mean that she can continue to challenge the hellish difficulty of Mode B and Mode C?"

"what?"

Qi Chuyao stared at An Youyu incredulously, "You still want to continue the challenge?"

An Youyu pursed her lips. "Is it okay?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Qi Chuyao swallowed hard.

For some reason, she felt a little guilty at that moment.

"Thank you sister."

An Youyu's eyes gleamed as she handed the deposit back to Qi Chuyao, then gave Lin Mo the five thousand yuan incentive she had just earned. "Let's start now."

The way they rubbed their hands together, eager to get started, was especially adorable.

Lin Mo couldn't suppress his laughter and turned his head away, chuckling softly. In fact, from the moment he cleared the level, he had guessed that the girl would continue to challenge him.

This little girl is great in every way, except she's too greedy for money.

However, this is also directly related to her previous upbringing.

Thinking of this, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by heartache and pity.

"Click——"

The stone gate closed.

Qi Chuyao looked down at the deposit in her hand, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

After a long while, her thoughts gradually returned to reality. "I refuse to believe this is bad luck. It must be just good fortune..."
