The sun rises in the east.

Beneath the pearl.

If "below the pearl" doesn't mean directly beneath the pearl...

Rather, it refers to—

What is the reflection of the pearl when the sun rises?

Liu Feng's heart began to pound wildly.

He quickly opened his phone and searched for the sunrise time on May Day.

Shanghai, May 1st, sunrise time: 5:12 AM.

He then opened an astronomical calculation app.

Enter the date, time, and coordinates.

Calculate the solar altitude angle and azimuth angle.

Then, based on the height of the spire.

Calculate the projection position.

The numbers are jumping on the screen.

Liu Feng's breathing became increasingly rapid.

Finally, a coordinate point appears on the screen.

It's right there!

"Walk!"

He turned and left.

Wu Yu was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Giving up the search?"

"I'm not looking anymore."

Liu Feng lowered his voice.

"Go back and rest."

Wu Yu looked at him.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

He didn't ask any further questions.

I just followed silently.

Half an hour later.

One o'clock in the morning.

About 300 meters northeast of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

An unassuming street garden.

Liu Feng stood in the center of the garden, looking at the ground beneath his feet.

right here.

According to calculations, at sunrise, the shadow of the tower's spire will fall exactly on this point.

And now—

He squatted down and parted the grass with his hands.

The soil is soft.

His fingers touched a hard object.

My heart skipped a beat.

Keep digging.

Below, in a shallow pit, a transparent, waterproof, sealed box is clearly visible!

Inside the box lay a quiet orange crystal ball, with two bright red five-pointed stars inside.

It's the two-star planet from the Dragon Ball anime!

There was also a card with the Kingdom of Light logo and a unique verification code printed on it, pressed under the sphere.

"Found it... really found it!!!"

Liu Feng suppressed a low gasp, his hands trembling slightly.

Wu Yu was so excited that his face turned red, and he immediately took photos and videos from multiple angles to collect evidence.

"How did you know?!"

Liu Feng did not answer.

He just stared at the Dragon Ball in his hand.

Then, I took out my phone.

Take pictures.

Open Weibo.

edit.

[Liu San San San]:

"@Land of Light Animation Studio - Hikaru reports! The first Dragon Ball has been successfully found! Thank you Land of Light for bringing us such a wonderful adventure! [Image][Image]"

send.

Three minutes later.

Office of the Land of Light.

Yang Qian is looking through the script for the sequel to "Dragon Ball".

My phone suddenly vibrated.

He clicked on it.

It's that Weibo post.

He raised an eyebrow.

So fast?

It's only been five hours.

He clicked on the picture.

A golden dragon ball gleamed under the streetlight.

Two-star planet.

It was indeed the one they released.

Yang Qian smiled.

Forward.

[Light Country Animation Studio - Hikaru]:

"Congratulations. The Dragon Balls are genuine! Looking forward to your next adventure. [Retweet]"

Weibo exploded again late at night.

Holy crap!!! Someone actually found them!!!

"Five hours! Just five hours!"

"How did this guy find it? Need a guide!"

"The sun rises in the east, beneath the bright pearl—he must have solved the mystery!"

"So the answer isn't what's under the pearl, but the projection at sunrise?!"

"Who the hell could have predicted this?!"

"Guangda, are you a devil?!"

Congratulations to @LiuSanSanSan! A shining example of Huangpu!

Just minutes later, Liu Feng's Weibo followers began to surge.

From hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands.

The comments section was filled with envy and congratulations.

"Bro, you're awesome!"

"Huangpu residents are proud!"

"You've done it—restored the glory of Huangpu!"

Liu Feng looked at the comments.

His mouth stretched from ear to ear.

He looked down at the dragon ball in his hand.

Then I looked up at the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance.

The lights were dazzling.

The night was gentle.

He smiled.

He laughed like a child.

however.

Liu Feng's revelry was just the beginning.

At this moment, in the offices of cultural and tourism bureaus across the country.

The telephone rang incessantly.

Culture and Tourism Bureau of a certain province.

The bureau chief was woken up by a phone call.

"Feed?"

"Boss! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it?"

"The Dragon Balls of the Land of Light! The first one has been found! In Shanghai!"

"Shanghai? What does that have to do with us?"

"Six more! Still haven't found them!"

The bureau chief's sleepiness vanished instantly.

"you mean……"

"Boss, the Land of Light has released seven Dragon Balls! If even one of them is in our province, it will attract tourists from all over the country to search for it!"

"this……"

"GDP, boss! Pure GDP!"

The bureau chief sat up abruptly.

"Contact the Land of Light immediately! At all costs, obtain the remaining Dragon Balls!"

"yes!"

Culture and Tourism Bureau of a certain city.

The same scene.

"Boss! The Dragon Ball event in the Land of Light! Shanghai has already secured one!"

"And what about us?"

There's no news yet...

"Check immediately! Find out if there are any landmark buildings in our city that match the puzzle's characteristics!"

"I've already checked! But there's no definite information..."

"Then go ask! Go contact the Land of Light! Go and fight for it!"

"yes!"

Culture and Tourism Bureau of a certain county.

It's a small county town, and it doesn't usually have much of a presence.

But at that moment, the bureau chief was also on the phone.

"Feed? Is this the Land of Light? I'm from the Culture and Tourism Bureau of XX County! Our county has an ancient pagoda that's a thousand years old! At its tip is a luminous pearl! It perfectly matches your riddle!"

"..."

"What? You haven't even released a riddle yet? Could you please give priority to our county?"

"..."

"Our county may be small, but it boasts beautiful scenery and friendly people! Visitors are guaranteed to be satisfied!"

hang up the phone.

The bureau chief looked out the window.

"Dragon Ball..."

He muttered to himself.

"We must win this."

That night.

Officials from cultural and tourism bureaus across the country were woken up from their sleep.

Phone calls, WeChat messages, and emails all point to the same goal—

The Dragon Balls of the Land of Light.

The remaining six.

Each one is a celebration for the city.

Every single one represents pure GDP.

The Land of Light is in City A, there's nothing we can do about it.

City A has already made a fortune thanks to the Land of Light.

But we must take over the treasure trove of the Dragon Balls!

Office of the Land of Light.

Yang Qian's phone started vibrating incessantly.

WeChat messages kept coming in.

[Provincial Culture and Tourism Bureau]: Director Yang, could you consider our province for the remaining Dragon Balls? Our province has mountains and rivers, and the scenery is absolutely stunning!

[City Culture and Tourism Bureau]: Director Yang, our city has an ancient pagoda with a history of over a thousand years, which is particularly suitable as a treasure trove for dragon pearls! Please consider it!

[A county's Culture and Tourism Bureau]: Director Yang, although our county is small, our sincerity is boundless! As long as the Dragon Ball is located in our county, all tourists will receive free admission!

……

Yang Qian looked at the messages.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Su Xiaoran pushed the door open and came in.

"Director Yang, what about the Culture and Tourism Bureau...?"

"I saw it."

Yang Qian waved her phone.

"Everyone's grabbing it."

Su Xiaoran smiled.

"Director Yang, that was a brilliant move."

"Seven Dragon Balls, seven cities, seven carnivals."

"And the Land of Light doesn't have to spend a single penny."

Yang Qian shook her head.

"It's not that you don't have to pay."

He said.

"To do the most with the least cost."

He stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the night was deepening.

But in some corner of the city, Liu Feng was still holding the Dragon Ball and grinning foolishly.

Meanwhile, cultural and tourism bureaus across the country are holding meetings overnight.

"The remaining six..."

He said softly.

"Where will it land?"
