Chapter 37 Revealed
Lin Xinmeng was at a loss. She looked at Lu Yang and asked, “How did you know about side missions 2 and 3?”
Side mission 2 was discovered by her and Zhou Moli, while Qin Yitan and Wen Jian found side mission 3.
“We didn’t tell anyone else, so how did Lu Yang know about side missions 2 and 3?” she wondered.
Lu Yang smiled. “The system is interconnected. Everyone else’s watch will receive the same notification if you unlock a clue.”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
“No wonder Lu Yang would look at her watch every time the notification sounds. She was looking at the clues!”
“The new program team is very technological. The first season’s setup was totally undermined.”
“The first season of wilderness was a chronicle of degradation in humanity. The second season depicts the development of technology over time.”
Zhou Moli’s gaze shifted from the pearl in Lu Mingyu’s hand to Lu Yang’s bright and beautiful face.
“Where’s the wooden box?” he asked.
Lu Yang’s eyes flickered, and her voice was clear and sweet. “The chemical fertilizer and pesticide residues in side mission 3 indicate dangerous chemicals. There are runic alphabets written on the cloth. In addition, the skull and criss-crossed bone form are used as symbols for deadly compounds, including poisonous gases.”
She raised her eyebrows and smiled. “With the intersection of the bones as the node, we will know where the item for mission 7 is.”
“Huh?” Lin Xinmeng was confused. “Where’s the criss-cross? ”
“These stones have obviously been moved.” Lu Yang pointed at the huge rocks around her.
The aerial camera slowly moved up, and the live broadcast scene could be clearly seen. The shape of the original block of big stones was the same as the symbol of poisonous gas.
“What the hell, it really is a criss-cross bone!”
Lin Xinmeng’s face cracked, and she wondered, “How did Lu Yang know something that the system couldn’t? If she wasn’t reincarnated, could it be that she had a system that was even more advanced than the probability system?”
Listening to their conversation, Wen Jian was puzzled. “How do you know which rock it is?”
Lu Yang answered, “Mission 2 is to look for heavy metals. Metals with an atomic weight greater than 55 are known to be heavy metals. The first five numbers stand for east, west, south, north, and center, respectively. The connections between the five elements and the five numbers must be used to identify the other five. The numbers 5 and 0 in the Book of Eight Trigrams both stand for the earth.”
“So, the wooden box for mission 7 is hidden under the soil in the center?”
“How do we rule out the east, west, south, and north?” Zhou Moli, who was pondering carefully, inquired in a low voice.
Lu Yang’s eyes lit up. “The program team was worried that we wouldn’t be able to find the wooden box. They were very considerate and buried it at the center of the intersection.”
Everyone thought hard for a while and finally came to a realization.
Mission 7 gave them side missions 1, 2, and 3, and side missions 1, 2, and 3 gave them mission 7.
Mission 7 was a cloth strip. Whoever solved it first would get points.
The main mission of mission 7 was the pearl. Whoever found the pearl would have completed the mission. The side mission was just a smokescreen to confuse everyone.
“Could the person who designed this clue be a chemistry student? They’re all chemical elements, but if there’s any mistake, I can’t find the wooden box.”
“From Taoism Classics to the Book of Eight Trigrams, is this a metaphysical variety show? Please believe in science and don’t make things too mysterious.”
“I’ve been subduing demons for many years, but I never expected to be defeated by chemistry!”
“Eye-catching guests and a brain-burning variety show. Indeed, we can’t have both the intellect and looks.”
The director, who had been dozing off, now sat still and straight. He felt as though the corners of Lu Yang’s eyes were burning with a keen light that disclosed the truth as he gazed upon her, who appeared gorgeous under the sun.
She had deciphered the clues and mission that they had painstakingly planned.
The director glanced at the person beside him. “Did you deliberately lower the difficulty? ”
The staff in charge of mission 7 was speechless. “Yes...”
When he first designed it, he did consider how to do it in the five directions of east, west, south, north, and central, but...
No matter how hard the staff thought, he couldn’t figure out how to deduce the angles of east, west, north, and south based on the three segments, so he might as well put it in the middle.
Besides, the staff would be thankful if anyone could unlock side mission 1.
Lu Yang unlocked the main mission and found the wooden box, which was completely out of his expectations.
After all, Lu Yang was so young, but she knew so much about the Book of Eight Trigrams. Who could have guessed that?
The director’s question was like asking him, “Did you deliberately not get into Acadia University?”
He could only lie with a smile, “Yes... that’s totally right.”

“How do you know so much? How did you understand the mission given the ambiguous clues?” Qin Yitan questioned and looked at Lu Yang. He was shocked, and his pupils were slightly dilated.
The troll army that had been manning the screen appeared to have received the order as soon as he asked the question and immediately began to strike madly.
“It’s definitely the program team’s shady business! Did Lu Yang sponsor the program team? Is this variety show specially used to promote Lu Yang?”
“Are the siblings out of money and want to come to the entertainment industry to make money?”
“I remember Lu Mingyu saying that if he doesn’t work in the entertainment industry, he’ll have to go back and inherit his family’s fortune. The sponsor behind this show is definitely the Lu family!”
“It’s not just the Lu family. I’ve also heard that Lu Mingyu has a few old and rich women behind him.”
“Qin Yitan is pure, while Lu Mingyu is disgusting.”
Lu Mingyu was furious, and his tone was cold. “Yangyang has always been smart since young. She doesn’t have a foul mouth like you.”
Qin Yitan raised his voice and denied, “Who has a foul mouth?!”
“Whoever responded.”
“You-”
“Mingyu.” Lu Yang called out, and Lu Mingyu restrained himself.
...
However, Qin Yitan was unable to express his displeasure. His breathing was strained, and he could only hold it in his chest.
After gathering her thoughts, Lin Xinmeng apologized and grinned. Lu Yang, what else is in the box beside this card?
Zhou Moli’s gaze shifted as the query was asked.
“A pearl,” Lu Mingyu answered.
A pearl shone brightly and translucently when he extended his palm to the light. The pearl’s inside was ocean blue, and it bent light into ripples as it passed through it. It resembled the endless, wide ocean exactly.
“This pearl is so beautiful. Does anyone know where I can buy them? I want to buy a few!”
“Mission 7 is a pearl. Don’t tell me the other missions are also to find the pearl. Is the program team trying to gather all seven dragon pearls to summon the dragon god?”
Lin Xinmeng peeked at Zhou Moli’s reaction, but she could not see the expression in his eyes. Then, her gaze fell on the pearl in Lu Mingyu’s hand.
Wen Jian’s eyes lit up, and she held back her hand that was about to touch the pearl. “What’s the use of this blue pearl?”
“I don’t know yet,” Lu Yang replied honestly.
“You don’t know?” Qin Yitan mumbled, “Or you don’t want to tell us?”
...
Lu Yang turned her head and looked at him with her dark eyes. “Do you want it?”
Qin Yitan did not expect her to notice him. He was confused. “What?”
Lu Yang’s voice was gentle as she asked again, “Do you want the pearl?”
Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli understood what Lu Yang meant.
He recalled that Lu Yang had given Qin Yitan and Wen Jian the trash-picking mission of side mission 1.
“Is she going to give me something again?” he thought.
