NovelEnglishThe room’s ceiling, like the previous two rooms, was a black void with matters floating around that resembled both particles and waves. However, in front of them was not water or an iron plate, but a massive canvas blocking the path to the exit.
On the left side of the canvas, there were seven solid squares of red, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and white, each of the same size. In the middle of the canvas, there was a tray seemingly connected to a series of complex mechanics below. The entire painting resembled a design diagram of some mechanical combination, constructed entirely from lines. dONJmu
Above the canvas, a line of text read: “Place the heaviest color block on the tray to clear the level. Placing it incorrectly will result in elimination.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“How can we know which color block is the heaviest?” He Tang asked anxiously, as the countdown on the interface mercilessly displayed the passing seconds. “They all look the same size to me! And they’re flat, how can they have weight?”
“Don’t panic,” Ke Xun reassured, patting her shoulder. “Imagine this, this is just a flat image. The comics we read are also flat images, right? Yet, we can mentally visualize them as three-dimensional. Similarly, with this image, if you imagine them as three-dimensional, they’ll all have weight.”
He Tang bit her lip, concentrating on distinguishing which of the seven colored blocks might appear larger. Meanwhile, Wei Dong reached out and tapped the black block. The color block was like an icon on a phone’s touchscreen, ready to be moved once selected. oHt4NE
“Between a black and white block of the same size, the black one appears to be 1.8 times heavier than the white one,” Wei Dong explained. “That’s why safes are usually dark-colored. It adds a psychological weight and has certain anti-theft effects.”
Wei Dong was about to release his finger from the selected block when Ke Xun stopped him: “Don’t rush it. Drag out the time a bit more.”
Wei Dong understood and kept an eye on the countdown. He prepared to release it when the countdown reached the last five seconds.
“Thankfully you are here. Why did this crazy painting suddenly throw in a color-related challenge?” Ke Xun said. dDOY7c
“What’s the big deal? In the previous two challenges, one was related to history, and the other was about physical health – it was so thrilling,” Wei Dong replied.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh?” Ke Xun raised an eyebrow, then turned to He Tang and asked, “What about the challenge you just passed?”
He Tang was pondering how these two were so easygoing in such a situation and still had time to chat. Hearing Ke Xun’s question, she responded, “In the last challenge, we dealt with a music-related challenge. Fortunately, it was within my professional expertise, so we didn’t encounter many obstacles.”
Ke Xun gave her a thumbs up. This girl probably played a significant role in getting through the last challenge. mRJBZt
Encouraged, He Tang’s mood stabilized considerably.
Ke Xun turned to Wei Dong and said, “I understand now. All the challenges here are based on school subjects. The first major section was Chinese, and within this section, we had physics, chemistry, and physical health, and also history, music, and now art. Cheng Shi blended all the subjects his son studied at school into this painting.”
“That’s a lot of resentment.” As Wei Dong spoke, the countdown had entered the final five seconds. He took a deep breath and released his finger.
The black block fell onto the tray as if carrying immense weight. The entire canvas in front plummeted down, revealing a section of the pathway. It was only about ten or so meters long. At the far end, there was another upright canvas blocking the path. L9wRd1
