Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!
Chapter 368 Mermaid Restaurant: The Scales of Justice
"Well... this matter is a bit complicated, so I'll keep it short."
I have an ex-boyfriend—who was also my first love.
We had a very good relationship, and he left me with many wonderful memories. I still can't forget him.
But then he had an accident, and our relationship was forced to end.
Then I met Gu Ji, who is now my boyfriend. Of course, we have a very good relationship.
However, Gu Ji felt that I was constantly looking for traces of my ex in him. Because I always took him to do things that I used to do with my ex, to go to places, and even to wear clothes.
After he found out I was doing this, he started getting angry with me. If anything goes even slightly wrong, he'll act like this now—ignoring me completely.
"Oh, men, a little temper is actually kind of cute. But women can't handle it all the time, can they?"
After Tao Rong finished speaking, the three of them turned to look at Xu Tai'an, who was about to give his opinion:
After listening, Xu Tai'an felt a little dizzy. To ensure he could offer practical advice later, Xu Tai'an politely followed up with another question:
"...Um, Ms. Tao, have you kept in touch with your first love since then? Do you visit him regularly?"
"Well... cough cough," Tao Rong cleared her throat, turned her head away, and said, "Actually, I really want to go find him, but..."
"Holy crap... so you're basically two-timing me?"
Before Tao Rong could finish speaking, An Xiaoyou interrupted her, blurting out her inner thoughts:
"You're two-timing me, fine, but at least you should have hidden it better!"
Tao Rong, however, felt completely innocent: "But if I kept it from him, wouldn't that make me seem very dishonest?"
An Xiaoyou: "Isn't it a bit necessary to be so frank?!"
Don't let your wife find out about your ex! Even if your wife does find out about your ex, don't let her discover that you're actually a substitute for him!
Are you afraid that you haven't stirred up the water in your house enough?!
Xu Tai'an couldn't think of any advice for Tao Rong after a long pause. After careful consideration, he finally straightened his tone and said sincerely:
"Actually, I think it's understandable that your boyfriend is upset (of course, isn't that obvious)... You'd better apologize to him, change your ways, and treat him as a new, independent person, right?"
"I......"
Tao Rong opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. But she was interrupted by the shouts of Lu Yan and the other two in front of her after uttering only one word:
"Hey—! Look quick, there's something ahead. The acupoints disappear here, and it seems like there's a more open space ahead!"
Relationship counseling is on hold; important business comes first.
The four of them ran over as soon as they heard the call. A cool breeze rushed towards them. Before they could even take out their lamps to illuminate the room, the pale blue root-like object at the top lit up automatically—quite strange, just like a voice-activated light.
It was indeed a huge space. Song Yuan measured the height of the space with her eyes—it was about three stories high, and the area was enormous, almost the size of a football field. However, despite its size, only the outer small ring was a platform where one could stand.
Because in the middle, there is a deep pit about ten meters in diameter. Song Yuan could not measure the depth of this pit with his eyes, and in this deep pit, there stands a sturdy small round platform.
The small round platform is made of a completely different material from the rocks on the island; its surface is beige and very smooth. Above the platform sits a giant balance scale made of the same material, with a pan on each side. The left pan is very small, just big enough for one person to stand on. The right pan is much larger, easily large enough to hold dozens of people.
Logically, with such a large difference in weight between the two discs, the balance should tip to the right.
However, the scales remained perfectly balanced, standing perfectly in the middle. There wasn't even the slightest tilt.
[Ding~ Dear player, you have triggered a special scene: The Goddess's Scales.]
In this scenario, players must discover the rules on their own. Upon completing the game in this scenario, players will receive a key item. Use your ingenuity to figure out the inventor's intention!
The system's announcement rang in everyone's minds simultaneously. Whenever a competitive situation arose, the relationship between the two sides would become somewhat tense. Song Yuan looked at Tao Rong—coincidentally, Tao Rong was also looking at her.
She blinked and suggested to Song Yuan:
"How about this, you two go to the small disc, and we'll go to the big disc. Let's see if we can find any clues, okay?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Song Yuan agreed. So the two groups separated and came to the small disc: there were no words on the disc, only a simple figure drawn on it.
After examining it, Xu Tai'an asked curiously, "Does this disc mean that 'a person's weight needs to be placed here'?"
"Possibly," Song Yuan said, after examining the pattern on the scales. She then cupped her hand to her mouth and asked Tao Rong and the others opposite her, "Our scale has a human figure drawn on it. What pattern does your scale have?"
Hearing the sound, Tao Rong stood up and gestured to Song Yuan to wait a moment. After waiting for about five minutes, Tao Rong responded:
"Ours are just like yours, with human figures drawn on them too. But there are a whole hundred of them!"
According to Xu Tai'an's logic, wouldn't they need to find a hundred people to stand on the other side?
Where are they going to find so many people!
"How about we take turns standing on it and try it out?" Zhao Xufeng suggested. "Even if there aren't a hundred people, we can still manage one. Anyway, the distance between the disc and the shore isn't far. If we sense anything is wrong, we can just jump back up in time."
