Early in the morning, Lin Juexiao heard Tees knocking on the door outside: "Lin Juexiao!

He got up sleepily, walked to the door barefoot, opened the door with one hand, rubbed his eyes with the other, and said, "What are you doing, I want to sleep." ”

"Sleep! it's half past five!" exclaimed Tess.

"So, it's only half past five......" Lin Juexiao seemed to have forgotten that he was in the adventure island world - last night he had a dream that he had received another literary award, and then he was invited to the Great Hall of the People to dine with the chairman.

"O trials in Mecca!" Theses grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him vigorously.

Lin Juexiao was confused at first: "Ah, who is Mecca-" After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Yes!" He suddenly realized, and finally remembered that this was the mushroom house hotel in Rainbow Village, and suddenly said energetically: "What are you still doing, Tes, hurry up and find Mecca, otherwise it will be too late!"

"We've all been waiting for you!" Teese was angry and amused.

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there. Lin Juexiao ran back to the house, put on his clothes, and pack his things.

"Is this an idiot?" said Tees, reluctantly, and walked outside. Lola was smiling with her mouth covered not far away, and Able didn't seem to notice it.

"Is Lin Juexiao awake?" Abel asked when he saw Tis approaching.

"He's coming—this guy is like he's having lost his memory, and he's saying something as ridiculous as 'Who is Mecca?' ”

"Hahaha. Able let out a hearty laugh.

After a while, the adventure party was already on their way to their accommodation in Mecca.

"I wonder what kind of trial it will be?" said Tees, looking at the white clouds in the sky.

"It could be a kind of competition. Lin Juexiao said seriously.

"What kind of game?" Tees asked. He knew that although Lin Juexiao usually likes to talk nonsense, he has insight beyond others at critical moments. Abel also looked at Lin Juexiao and wanted to hear his opinion.

"In our place, there is an international event called the 'Olympic Games'. Lin Juexiao paused, raised his right index finger and said, "I think it's likely to be one of the events - it's to see who can blink for a longer time." ”

Tees lost his mind for a moment, then cried out, "You're insane!" Able froze, and Lola was already laughing like crazy.

During the conversation, the group could already see the mushroom house in Mecca, as well as some adventurers around.

"It seems that we are not the only ones in this trial. Lin Juexiao looked at those adventurers and said.

"Of course, it's only a matter of time before anyone can do it. Teese said.

As she approached, she saw Mecca leaning against the wooden doorframe of her mushroom house with her hands on her chest, looking at the four adventurers.

"Take part in the trial?" Mecca asked, looking at them with those brown eyes.

"Yes. Tees busily said. He didn't dare to joke in front of Sister Mecca.

"Give me the rainbow-colored snail shell. Mecca had always spoken in an almost commanding tone, to which both she and the adventurers had become accustomed.

All four took the rainbow-colored snail shell out of their backpacks and handed it to Mecca. Mecca looked at the rainbow-colored snail shell, stretched out a hand, pointed to the place of the adventurers, and said, "Go and wait over there." ”

The party walked over to the stone next to the clearing and sat down. Immediately they were recognized, and a gray-haired young man exclaimed, "Hey, Tess!" and another bald man greeted Tess, who responded with a smile - it seemed that he had become acquainted with quite a few adventurers these days.

Mecca looked at the clock hanging on the wall in her room—it was about a quarter of an hour before six o'clock. This must be the people who participated in the trial, she thought to herself, looking at the seventeen adventurers.

Just then, a few more people came. Lin Juexiao took a look - but it was the four people he met in the snail forest a few days ago: Boris, Renee, Da Tao and Er Tao. They walked straight to Mecca, and after handing over the iridescent snail shells, they also walked to the adventurers to wait.

As soon as they sat down, the adventurers around them moved out of the way a little. Seeing this, Tis said curiously: "How can everyone see them as if they saw tigers?"

The gray-haired young man next to him whispered, "Don't you know? A few days ago, when they were collecting materials in the wild, they killed an adventurer because they robbed each other of monsters. It is said that he was beaten to death by the red-haired woman, which is really terrible. ”

"Oh, that's right. Tees said disapprovingly, feeling even more disgusted with the woman.

Soon, the hands were at six o'clock. Mecca's body left the door frame, went into the room to get a stack of paper and pens, walked a few steps towards the adventurers' positions, glanced at the adventurers, and said, "All right, the trial begins, listen to what I say, I will only say it once." ”

Everyone listened carefully. Mecca said: "On this rainbow island, there is a red snail king, which is about the size of this house. And your task is to hunt the Red Snail King, and then give me the rainbow-colored snail shell dropped by the Red Snail King for a day limit. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar: The red snail king with such a big house? Let's not talk about whether that kind of thing can be found, and even if it is found, how can it be killed? For a while, everyone turned their heads and ears like boiling water.

"Excuse me, where is the Red Snail King?" asked a girl with pink hair and a pair of small horns.

"I don't know. Mecca said directly, and the girl was immediately embarrassed.

"A rainbow-colored snail shell can pass a trial for five people, which means you can choose to form a small team of up to five people. Now, you have five minutes to team up freely. Mecca continued.

Most of the adventurers already have small teams themselves, but there are also a few who slowly accumulate materials on their own before participating in the trials in Mecca. These lone people, if they don't join a team at this time, may not be able to pass the trial. Some of the adventurers are busy starting to dock.

The gray-haired young man, who was also left alone, said to Tess, "Hey, Tess, you're four, aren't you?"

Tis understood what he meant, and said, "Yes." ”

"Can I join then? Don't worry, I won't be holding back. ”

Tees turned to his companions and asked, "This guy is a good man, and he can use vindictiveness, so how about taking him with you?" Everyone believed in Tees's judgment and nodded.

Tees smiled at the gray-haired youth, "Come on. ”

The young man said happily, "Thank you! My name is Wang Huarong." ”

"Welcome. Lin Juexiao said with a smile, thinking that there is such a name in this world, and it seems that the culture is really rich and diverse.

"Hey, thank you. Wang Huarong smiled humbly.

"All right, the time is up!" said Mecca, "and now, you, and you, come and send these blank pieces of paper and pens down, one for each person." Mecca pointed to the two adventurers who were close to her.

Those papers and pens were quickly distributed to everyone's hands, and Lin Juexiao looked at it, and there was nothing special. It's a pencil-like refill, but the refill inside doesn't look like lead—ah, maybe it's carbon!," Lin Juexiao thought. Thinking about this kind of question at such a time, I'm afraid that he is the only one here.

Just when everyone was curious about the usefulness of this washi paper, Mecca said, "Now listen, I have to come up with a problem, and the team can only go when someone in the team gives me the correct answer." I'll only say the question once, so don't ask me again if you can't remember it. ”

When the crowd listened, some of the more prescient ones beckoned their companions to write them down.

"Listen—there is a farm where there are four times as many chickens as ducks, but there are nine fewer ducks than pigs, and the number of ducks and pigs combined is sixty-seven.

"What?" the adventurers didn't remember clearly, and asked again.

Mecca said, "I said it, just once. The adventurers suddenly had black lines on their faces.

Lin Juexiao was stunned after listening to the question - what a wonderful and absurd coincidence is this elementary school application problem that will appear in front of his eyes again, and he still has to do it? Haha, it seems that there is no exam-oriented education in this world, and his heart is happy.

"There are four times as many chickens as ducks, and nine fewer ducks than pigs?" said Tees, writing a few numbers on a piece of paper, pondering.

Abel was not good at this kind of complex mental work. Lola pursed her lips and rubbed her hair in distress. The newcomer, Wang Huarong, held the pen and looked confused.

"Hey, Lin Juexiao, do you have anything you can do?" Tis asked, looking up - only to see Lin Juexiao stand up and walk towards Mecca.

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do, and then they saw him hand the paper to Mecca.

"Correct. Mecca looked at the answer on the paper and said.

When those adventurers heard this, they immediately exploded, and Tees and other companions were also stunned.

"How is that possible?!"

"He's cheating!"

"Instructor, he's cheating!"

Such shouts come and go, although everyone knows that it is impossible to cheat, but at this time, they can only vent their indignation one step behind, let alone some coaxing.

"No matter how noisy it is, it will be eliminated. Mecca said only one thing, and everyone fell silent.

Lin Juexiao smiled and beckoned his companions to go, and Tees and the others reacted and ran out of the crowd in ecstasy.

Tees slapped Lin Juexiao's shoulder: "What is the structure of your head?"

"Hahaha, hurry up, or they'll be stared at to death. Lin Juexiao smiled.

"Looks like it's right to follow you. Wang Huarong was surprised and delighted.

Neither Able nor Lola spoke, but their eyes flashed with surprise: this Lin Juexiao was perhaps the most incredible person they had ever seen.

The group gradually disappeared into the woods as they endured more than a dozen murderous glances behind their backs.

"Lin Juexiao...... Mecca looked at the door frame with interest, leaning against the door frame again, looking at the piece of paper that Lin Juexiao handed in in his hand - there were no calculations or marks on the paper, only a number representing the answer: 442.
