Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Lin Wei's deduction caused a small stir in the community and spread rapidly.

"Holy crap! The big boss has made his move!"

"Anshan! The steel capital! That makes sense!"

"A triangle? Radar? I'll go find it!"

"Anshan Iron and Steel Museum! Mengtai Park! Victory Square!"

"Brothers, charge!"

Many are locals from Liaoning.

In particular, fans of the Kingdom of Light in Anshan began to take action, conducting targeted searches based on Lin Wei's tips.

Countdown: 2:14:33.

Anshan, Mengtai Park.

The park features a famous "Montay Statue," symbolizing the dedication of the older generation of working class.

It is also one of the landmarks of the Anshan spirit.

Several local fans are carefully examining the base of the statue.

Meanwhile, Lin Wei's classmates and several other volunteers, based on keywords such as radar, triangulation, and steel symbols, turned their attention to another location in Anshan City.

Near Victory Square, there is a group of modern metal sculptures themed on the rise of the steel city.

One of the sculptures is abstract in shape, resembling rising flames and steel veins.

The base is a stable triangle.

Viewed from a certain angle, its outline vaguely resembles an abstract Dragon Ball radar interface!

This discovery excited everyone present.

They searched carefully around the sculpture, examining every slab of stone and every crevice of the base.

But still nothing was found.

"No……"

"Could it be not here?"

"Wait, look at the outline of this sculpture, doesn't it have three sharp corners?"

"Yes, a triangular base with three sharp corners."

"Three...three stars? Tianji is the third star of the Big Dipper, could the corresponding Dragon Ball be a three-star ball?"

"That makes sense! But where are the Dragon Balls?"

Lin Wei observed the scene via video link, her brows furrowed.

A triangular base, that's right.

Radar outline, that's right.

A steel symbol of wealth and opportunity, that's right.

But what about Dragon Ball?

She stared at the string of numbers again.

040028.

If it is an old encoding, is there any place in Anshan that is still using or displaying this encoding?

As part of historical commemoration?

She immediately said in the video:

"Look around for any old municipal or factory facilities! Manhole covers, electrical boxes, signs! They might have similar numbers printed on them!"

The group immediately dispersed.

"Found it!"

A young boy at the scene suddenly shouted.

He found a line of blurry raised inscription on the edge of an old cast iron manhole cover not far behind the "Rise of the Steel City" sculpture.

After careful identification and wiping, it was clearly "Liaoning-040028-76"!

"These are the serial numbers for older municipal or factory facilities!"

Lin Wei shouted in the video.

"040028 does indeed have a corresponding entity locally! 76 might be the batch number or year."

"Quick, look around this manhole cover. Is there anything special about it? Or is the manhole cover itself a key?"

Several people tried to pry open the manhole cover.

But it was very heavy and didn't move at all.

"etc!"

A girl squatted down and carefully examined the surface of the manhole cover.

"This anti-slip texture... is not the common concentric circles or grid pattern."

"It consists of three sets of rotationally symmetrical patterns, like three fan blades."

"It consists of three sets of rotationally symmetrical patterns, like three fan blades."

"The center is a small dot."

Three fan blades.

Three sharp corners.

Three...

"three?!"

Lin Wei's mind exploded with inspiration once again!

Tianji is the third star of the Big Dipper! The corresponding Dragon Ball is a three-star ball!

Does the central pattern on this manhole cover suggest that some kind of operation involving the number three is required?

"Let's try! Is it possible to apply pressure to the center of this manhole cover simultaneously using three fulcrums?"

Several people tried pressing it with their hands.

Step on it with your foot.

Smash it with a stone.

No response.

Only 00:53:21 remains.

Just when I was about to give up, a father with his child said something by chance.

"This design looks a bit like those puzzle boxes we played with as kids, where you had to press three points with three fingers at the same time to open them..."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener!

Lin Wei immediately ordered, "Find three objects of roughly the same weight and volume, and simultaneously place them on the tips of the three fan-blade patterns!"

"Or, three people can stomp on it simultaneously!"

There were three mineral water bottles on site.

They quickly filled the bottle with the same amount of water.

Then, three people simultaneously align the bottom of the bottle with the tips of the three fan-shaped patterns.

Click.

A slight click of a mechanism was heard.

The small dot in the center of the manhole cover was sunken by half a centimeter.

Then a small, round cover, no bigger than a fist, pops open!

Inside was a recessed area lined with foam, where an orange Dragon Ball lay quietly.

Inside the sphere, three bright red five-pointed stars gleamed!

Three-star!

"Found it—!!!"

The crowd erupted in wild cheers!

Lin Wei on the other end of the video also clenched her fists in excitement.

She quickly had her classmates take photos and videos from multiple angles, and then took out the Dragon Ball and the verification card below it.

Countdown: 00:47:15.

The official Weibo account of the Land of Light updates instantly:

[Verification signal for the third Dragon Ball (3-Star Ball) detected! Congratulations to the finder! Challenge successful!]

[The Kingdom of Light fulfills its promise: A brand new game is in production!]

[Game Title: Honkai Impact 3rd]

[Concept teaser PV, released simultaneously!]

Immediately afterwards, a brand new video link was pinned to the top.

The city is distorted in the scene.

The building is broken.

The streets were deserted.

Then, several tense shots flash by quickly.

The figure of a girl in combat gear leaps among the broken walls and ruins.

A ferocious-looking Honkai Beast roars and pounces.

A weapon appeared in the girl's hand, unleashing dazzling and powerful attack effects.

A woman's voice, filled with despair and a sense of destruction, murmured.

"The Honkai... has arrived..."

The final image freezes on a white-haired girl holding two guns.

The title appears—"Honkai Impact 3rd".

The style is dark, gorgeous, and full of post-apocalyptic aesthetics and action tension.

It is completely different from the bright and adventurous Pokémon and Ultraman Fighting Evolution series that came before the Land of Light.

The comments section exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! This is the style of the new game?! That's so cool!"

"Apocalyptic theme? Action game? Cute girls fighting monsters? Too many elements!"

"This art style is amazing! That fragmented yet gorgeous feel!"

"The concept of 'Honkai' sounds so exciting! Everbright is truly constantly pushing the boundaries!"

"So, does the Dragon Ball 3-Star Ball correspond to some kind of setting in the game? The Three Great Generals? Three stages?"

"Who is the great god who found the Dragon Balls? Come out and receive our worship!"

"It seems to have been found in Anshan! The code 040028 turns out to be an old administrative division code! It points to Anshan Iron and Steel! This puzzle design is brilliant!"

"Anshan! The steel capital! Awesome!"

Lin Wei's Weibo ID [Vivi_Lin] was quickly discovered, and her number of followers began to surge.

She posted a short status:

"Just luck. Thanks to my friends in Anshan, the three-star globe is beautiful. [Image]"

The accompanying image is a close-up of the Samsung sphere under nighttime lighting.

The old-fashioned manhole cover is faintly visible in the background.

Humble, mysterious.

He instantly gained countless fans.

Liu Feng and Li Mubai also quickly sent their congratulations.

Li Mubai even privately messaged Lin Wei to discuss the puzzle design ideas that combined digital coding with city symbols.

There was a sense of mutual appreciation between them.

The Anshan Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism is overjoyed.

The publicity campaign was launched overnight.

The area where the "Rise of the Steel City" sculpture and the old manhole cover are located will be transformed into the "Dragon Ball Treasure Hunt Wealth Coordinates".

Launching a themed cultural tourism route: "How the Steel Was Tempered: Searching for the Dragon Ball".

"Anshan, the steel capital, the starting point of wealth."

Come to Anshan and find your own three-star globe.

The slogan immediately went viral online.

Other cities, especially those with a history of heavy industry, distinctive industries, or unique coding culture.

They all held meetings overnight.

Re-examine your symbols of wealth opportunity.

They're all geared up, ready to compete for the next Dragon Ball.

Office of the Land of Light.

Yang Qian sat in the chair, watching the screen review Lin Wei's puzzle-solving process.

Look up the administrative division code from the data terminal.

Lenovo's steel industry is a symbol of wealth.

The triangular clues that combine with the Dragon Ball radar.

The solution to the manhole cover mechanism.

Every step was quite beautiful.

"Director Yang, this puzzle is so cleverly designed."

"Old administrative division code, manhole cover mechanism, triangular pressure trigger..."

"Most people would never think of that."

Yang Qian smiled.

"The point is to make it something that those who wouldn't think of it wouldn't expect."

"Give those who want something room to do it."

He paused.

"and"

He looked at the map of Anshan on the screen.

"Revitalize Northeast China and help transform heavy industrial cities."

"This is also what the higher-ups want to see."

Su Xiaoran suddenly realized.

"So you chose Anshan not just because the riddle was suitable?"

"right."

Yang Qian picked up her teacup.

"The leaders in Anshan have been in contact with us for some time now."

"They've shown a lot of sincerity."

"This favor was well worth doing."

Su Xiaoran nodded.

"Then the next Dragon Ball..."

"No rush."

Yang Qian put down her teacup.

"Let the bullets fly for a while."
