[The mystery story in this chapter is based on a childhood story: Scrooge's Safe.] 】

After a burst of dazzling white light, Brother Hao stood on the boundary of the ninth layer - this place seemed to be a borderless borderless land, and Brother Hao found that except for the black and white lattice floor under his feet that extended infinitely to all sides, there was a vast white forest that could not be seen from the front and back, left and right, including the top of his head.

Xenodimensional? Or extradimensional murder?

Looking at the strange environment around him, revealing a high-quality sci-fi style, Brother Hao was a little speechless, yes, the program team is getting better and better at playing......

"Hello."

He was rushing Brother Hao to look left and right, when he suddenly heard someone greeting him behind him, and he was really startled by the coldness, and he hurriedly looked back.

- Holy? Jian Hao?

"Hello...... No, who are you? Six-eared macaques?! ”

The person who suddenly spoke behind him was Brother Hao himself-Jian Hao. However, although this one is almost exactly the same as himself, he is ...... in terms of overall outlook (mental outlook, clothing and behavior It seems that they are much more comfortable than the confused "original Brother Hao".

What the heck? Mirror male guests? Missing the body? Clones? Dead ghost Nampovan?

On weekdays, if you see "yourself" standing in front of you alive, it is estimated that everyone will be scared to the crotch of their pants, but for Brother Hao...... The unusually narcissistic guy is a different story.

Where did you come from, so handsome and handsome...... Yes! No, such a handsome man can only be the only one in this world, so who the hell are you bastard!

"I'm a rich man." [Jian Hao] said calmly, "The kind that is rich and rivals the country." ”

Oh, I love to hear that! But...... Just ignore and skip my question...... Therefore, the program team also thinks that I am very rich in Yushu Linfeng, right......

"So what?" Rich is amazing, huh? Handsome and rich, amazing?

"But I never tell people how much money I have in my pocket."

“…… So, so what? This tsundere's little tone...... couldn't even cut into the point of complaining, Brother Hao was stunned, and could only passively follow "himself" to follow the plot.

"But I can tell you." [Jian Hao] smiled slightly, bowed, spread his hands and said to Brother Hao.

…… Why don't I want to know at all...... "Uh, you say." ”

"Now in my pocket, there are 34 + 23 = 48 gold coins."

What?

This calf didn't learn math in elementary school? This is obvious......

No, Brother Hao was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that this was not an arithmetic problem in the conventional sense...... It's a set of passwords.

"That's right, my friend, this is a set of passwords that increase or decrease the same number according to a certain pattern, and the answer is 25 + 14 = 39 gold coins."

Directly report the answer again? …… Are you fooling me?

"So...... Now listen to the question. [Jian Hao] smiled slightly, moved the tie on his chest very gentlemanly, and said to Brother Hao with a faint look in his eyes.

"This time I have no lies, I do have 51 + 55 = 97 gold coins in my pocket now."

Ding dong!

[Tower of Trials Floor 9 quest has been generated.] 】

[Mission Name: The Secret of the Plutocrat.] 】

[Task requirements: Reasonably calculate the number of gold coins in Jane's pocket.] 】

[Time limit: 5 minutes.] 】

[Quest Tips: Quests at this level can use props such as slip of mouth remedial orders.] 】

[Consequences of failure: Becoming Jian Hao's private property. 】

[The timer begins.] 】

…… What kind of mess is this? Why does the consequences of the failure of this mission sound so useless?

Brother Hao blinked his eyes, glanced at the "self" in the suit and leather shoes in front of him, and didn't take it too seriously, anyway, the program team is so perverted, anyway, the light and shadow are not unusual, this hand is nothing more than a trick to disturb himself, what's wrong? Is it possible to replace me and take over my life?

Look at the formula.

After pondering for 30 seconds, Brother Hao focused his attention on the two sets of number formulas given by "himself", the first group, the original formula was [34+23=48], and the corresponding solution was [25+14=39]......

Brother Hao's first thought was to verify whether the answer conditions given by "himself" were true and whether they were traps, but he verified it according to his own method, and there was indeed nothing wrong, this is indeed a set of passwords that increase or decrease the same number according to a certain law, and "myself" will not deceive me.

Wouldn't this layer be as simple as a fart???

Send a sub-question? Or is it a farmer and a snake-like trap?

Regarding the answer to this layer, according to the conditions given, it is not difficult to solve, the second group of formulas is [51+55=97], then combined with the law of the first group -

Starting from the known conditions, it is deduced from 34+23=48 that it is 25+14=39, that is, the subtraction, the subtraction, and the difference are all subtracted by 9...... Therefore, 51 + 55 = 97 is calculated according to this method...... So no matter how you look at it, the answer should be [42+46=88].

But...... As a level on the ninth floor...... Is it really that simple?

Brother Hao kept the answer in his heart, but his eyes were staring at [Jian Hao] in front of him, and the two men who looked like twins were silent, silently staring at each other.

"Tick, tick, tick......" [Jian Hao] in a suit and leather shoes was silent for a long time, suddenly blinked his eyes, smiled slightly, and reminded Brother Hao.

"I know...... "Brother Hao has an evil fire in his belly...... But he really can't lose his temper with "himself".

Is there only a minute left...... All right......

"The answer is 88."

Brother Hao shrugged his shoulders and answered truthfully. Eh, I really can't see any flaws in my eyes, and the surrounding environment has nothing to help at all, so what if there are really some traps...... Planted in the hands of "yourself...... In fact, it's not a loss, who made "himself" so handsome + smart to cover the sky......

"Uh-huh...... [Jian Hao] clapped his hands elegantly when he heard this, "The answer is correct." ”

No way! It's really a sub-question! So the real puzzle in this layer is actually [Do you believe in yourself]!

Ding dong!

[Congratulations to the guests for completing the Tower of Trials - Broken Truth 9th Layer Challenge.] 】

[Reward settlement for this layer: 100 points for silver pottery, 10 experience points for refining body.] 】

[The entrance to the 10th floor is open, please wait for ......]

Entrance? Don't have to teleport?

"Please go this way, Your Excellency—" [Jian Hao], who was in a suit and leather shoes, put on a very formal professional guide to welcome guests in the hotel, leading Brother Hao's gaze to a short distance behind him. It was a door that appeared out of nowhere, and by this time it was wide open, and a dark staircase with no end in sight swirled and disappeared into the infinite darkness.

"Your lover is waiting for you." This was the last sentence that [Jian Hao] said, after the words, he didn't wait for Brother Hao to react, he "pedaled" all the way up the ladder, and disappeared on the ninth floor in the blink of an eye.

So, what the hell is my lover? You people have always spoken like this, are you? Are you tired......

After spitting for a while, Brother Hao had nothing to do, so he sighed, and carefully walked into the door of the ladder, looking at the steps that gradually disappeared into the darkness, he didn't know what expression to make.

Well...... Is it the last layer of the first challenge......
