Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Qin Shang nodded and said in a deep voice.

"'Men Can't Make Me Feel Good' is a trick used in this way. Although there are "gates of life" and "gates of death" in the regular pentagonal [maze], the correct answer is not "gate of life" but "gate of death". You can imagine the shape of the regular pentagon now."

"A regular pentagon is a very special shape. If you connect each of its vertices together, you can form a regular five-pointed star inside the regular pentagon. Then something magical happens: a small regular pentagon will appear in the center of the regular five-pointed star, and each small triangle formed by connecting them will become a golden triangle."

"It forms the golden ratio, 1:0.618. Not only that, any line from the outside to the inside can form the golden ratio, including the waist of the triangle and the side length ratio of the small pentagon inside, which also satisfies 1:0.618."

"For example, a regular pentagon has five vertices, ABCDE. Connect AC, AD, connect BD, BE, connect CE, CA. Line segments AC and BE will have an intersection point inside the pentagon."

"Let the intersection points be F1, F2, F3, F4, F5. There are five similar intersection points."

“The distance from A to the intersection F1 and the distance from F1 to C can also form the golden ratio, 1:0.618.”

"So all we need to do is find numbers that appear in the golden ratio, such as 6, 18..."

"So how do we determine which of 6 and 18 is the gate of life and which is the gate of death? Haha, in fact, 6 and 18 are both "gates of death", but the remaining house numbers are gates of life, that is, gates where you will die if you enter. This is the hint of the regular pentagon 0.618 from the "combination of numbers and shapes"."

"As for why the last time a man messed with my heart, I knew there was a difference between the gate of life and the gate of death, it's because..."

Qin Shang paused.

He left the conversation halfway through and watched everyone stare at him with wide eyes and bewildered expressions.

He then explained with a sneer.

“Points, lines, surfaces, volumes, and time, these dimensions, constitute the five-dimensional space we live in.”

"If we reach the sixth dimension, we should actually add another space, but humans are indeed three-dimensional creatures, because we have neither the ability to control time to go back or forward, nor the ability to create or destroy space!"

"So humans are three-dimensional creatures. The English word for three-dimensional is Three-Dimemsinonal, which can also be abbreviated as three-D. In other words, as long as we determine where the three-dimensional door is, we can clearly know where the "birth gate" is. Because we are three-dimensional creatures, the "birth gate" for us must be the "body" among the five dimensions of point, line, surface, body, and time!"

"But don't worry, that's not actually the case. The English word for death is dead, which starts with a D."

"But obviously, there is no room number starting with 4 here, so the hint given by this information is not understood in this way. Instead, D corresponds to the word three-dimensional, three-D, which means that the door corresponding to the "body" is actually the "death door."

"This is where the previous speculation diverges..."

"Humans are three-dimensional creatures, and three-dimensional creatures should go through the door of the "body", so the door of the "body" should be the "door of life". Why is the door of the "body" the door of death? In fact, the game prompts in the [Maze] tell you from the beginning that if you choose the wrong door, you will be "punished by God", which corresponds to "death."

"In other words, the "life gate" of the "body" three-D will lead to the ending of death."

"Death, dead, corresponds to the door represented by the "body", so the door that will lead to your "death" is actually the "life door", which is the three-D."

"That makes sense. Let me guess that your five room numbers were 3,6,9,13, 18, , , and ..."

"The gate corresponding to the so-called "body" in three dimensions is easy to understand."

"Just find 3. 3 squared, or a house number with 3 in it, is the 'gate of life'. Gate 3 probably represents a 'line'. Three lines can form a 'surface', but twice the 'surfaces' cannot form a 'body'. To form a 'body', you need at least three 'surfaces', so the next 'gate of life' must be 3 squared, not a multiple of 3."

“So, 3 and 9 are both “life gates”. As for why 13 is the “life gate”, I guess it’s because the fourth dimension of “time” is most commonly represented by a “clock” or “watch” in reality, and there is no time pointer 13 in traditional mechanical watches, and one cycle is every twelve hours.”

“When you think of time, it’s easy to think of watches, right? So 13 is used to represent the dimension of “time”!”

"Also, Teacher Ye just said that everyone has three chances to challenge the [Seven Day Game]. There is still a 3 here. Then, something even more interesting happened. Teacher Ye's room number happens to be 18, and the room number of the man who messed with my heart happens to be 6. 0.618, the number in the golden ratio has appeared."

Qin Shang became more and more excited as he spoke, his speech speed unconsciously increased a few points, and he licked his lips subconsciously;

"In the last "reincarnation" mentioned by Teacher Ye, the reporter did not become an "observer". In other words, only you and 'Man Disturbing My Heart' became creatures that can record time and even accompany time to "refresh". This also means that you do not belong to the third dimension, so you cannot go through the "life gate" of three-dimensional creatures. Then, since the "life gate" is 3,9,13, 6, and 18, you can only go through the two "death gates" and to pass the level. This can also be a way of thinking..."

"Anyway, when I was in school, my teacher always said that points move to form lines, lines move to form surfaces, and surfaces move to form bodies. So, 9 represents the "body". As for 6 and 18, they are neither the square of 3 nor the numbers containing 3, but multiples of 3."

"By understanding from these two different perspectives, we don't even need to comprehend the golden ratio to find the correct "death gate". So as long as we judge that the "life gate" is not a life gate but a "death" road, and the "death gate" is not a death gate but a "life" road, we can find that 6 and 18 are the correct answers to pass the [maze]."

Teacher Ye;???

Shen Xiuxiu;???

reporter;???

Man in windbreaker; Ababa...

Several people opened their mouths wide, especially Teacher Ye, who was a professional "Teacher" player. Teacher Ye actually caught some of Qin Shang's mental activities just now. For example, the young man cursed in his heart, "Fuck these two Shenlu, "Combination of numbers and shapes" is a useless hint, I have graduated from high school for many years, and I am still doing "Combination of numbers and shapes"?

At that time, Teacher Ye's heart tightened, thinking that something was wrong. Who knew that this kid could not only deduce the hexagonal [maze], but even reverse the logic of the last pentagonal [maze]!

No, we all received nine years of compulsory education, why do you think your brain is so good! ?

This is Qin Qiuhe's son! ?

After saying this, Qin Shang spoke lightly under the stunned gaze of everyone.

"Of course, it's not that complicated. 'Men Make Me Crazy' only needs to figure out the hint, and 'Number and Shape Combination' requires you to figure out the golden ratio of the regular pentagon, and then take you out from under house numbers 6 and 18. But she left you a big trap, which is that 6 and 18 are actually 'death gates' instead of 'life gates'. "

[Countdown; 1 minute]

There is still plenty of time.

Qin Shang pointed expressionlessly at house number 9.

However, the reporter and Teacher Ye did not move. They both seemed to be waiting for Qin Shang's move. He did not let them down. He chuckled and turned to walk towards the number 9 house. Then he grasped the door handle and twisted it gently.

Qin Shang curled the corners of his lips and nodded slightly towards Shen Xiuxiu;

"Let's go, it's time to start the last part of my reasoning as a (detective)..."

The next moment, he took a step forward.

In fact, he already knew where he would be teleported to next...

……

There were clinking glasses, and the lights were on in the magnificent villa, which seemed to be hosting a dinner party.

Hundreds of people gathered there and it was quite lively.

Some people were cutting the cake, some were carrying plates, and some were standing there in a daze like Qin Shang at this moment.

He frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed.

This should be the year 2017, the day of Zhang Xiaofen’s graduation banquet…

In the center of the hall, there was a huge banner hanging.

"Congratulations to Miss Zhang Xiaofen, the top scorer in the provincial and district exams. She got her ideal results. The district government came to congratulate her. Miss Zhang Xiaofen's graduation banquet"

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Qin Shang’s guess.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to Qin Shang stood in the center of the stage, holding a wine glass with an excited look on his face.

"wish!"

"Everything went well for Xiaofang's further studies!"

He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine and his face was flushed.

As these words fell, all the guests raised their glasses and smiled kindly, seemingly not caring much about the ugly appearance of the middle-aged man.

After all, if you put yourself in their shoes, we are all parents, and it is indeed something to celebrate if our children are admitted to a good university.

Under this kind of education model in China, it has always been not just the students who have to bear the pressure, but the parents are also under great pressure.

The child has finally finished the college entrance examination, and the parents can finally let go of the tension in their hearts and feel relieved.

There were mostly friendly people in the room, but there were also many people showing a teasing and playful look.

For example, from Qin Shang's perspective, he could see that several people in the front row did not give him any face at all and did not touch the wine glasses.

They just talked and laughed in each other's ears.

But among these people, Qin Shang quickly caught sight of a familiar figure, or rather a figure he had just seen not long ago in real life.

This guy's appearance is really unique, which made Qin Shang unforgettable at first sight.

So it was easy to catch a glimpse of this gloomy-looking young man in the first row of people dressed in gorgeous clothes. His face was so pale that it looked like he was suffering from kidney deficiency. However, compared to the time when he saw this guy in reality during the day, the age of this young man in the picture displayed by the divine road at this moment was also a little younger than when he saw him in the morning...

It's him! The guy who cheated on Xu Mingyang?

Qin Shang had just bumped into this guy when he accompanied Xu Mingyang upstairs in the morning. He had never expected that he had also attended Zhang Xiaofen's graduation banquet in 17! ?

"Chen Boxu!?"

The next moment, Qin Shang frowned and glanced at the other person's badge, his eyes slightly fixed.

His eyes turned to the figure next to Chen Boxu.

Chen is not a common surname in China, but it is not an unpopular surname either.

In particular, Qin Shang has never forgotten that he has an enemy named Chen Ge Lao.

Another point……

In this background board, Lord Chen was also present at the graduation banquet that influenced Zhang Xiaofen’s life!

This guy named Chen Boxu is definitely not Chen Ge Lao, he is too young.

Moreover, as one of the five elders of the cabinet, Chen Ge Lao holds a high position and great power.

Even if he had any connection with overseas organizations like Yuanhang, he would not expose it in the open, and he would not go out in person to find Wanyan Xiaowen in the morning!

So Chen Boxu is definitely not Chen Ge Lao.

But Qin Shang's sixth sense told him that this guy should have some relationship with Chen Ge Lao...

The first thing he looked at was the figure next to Chen Boxu.

Sitting next to Chen Boxu was a middle-aged man with a square face. The man seemed to be only in his early forties, but in fact, if you look closely, you can find that his hair on the temples has actually turned completely gray.

It's just that it was deliberately trimmed very short, so it's not that obvious.

In addition, he was well-dressed and paid attention to details, so he looked a little younger. However, there was one very special point: this man was not using a smartphone.

You should know that around 2011, with the complete rollout of 3G networks, smartphones have gradually become popular in China.

Not to mention well-off families, even some working-class families can easily afford a smartphone that costs around a thousand yuan.

Those who could sit at the front row at this graduation banquet were either leaders in the county government or reporters from the news media, or at least Zhang Xiaofen’s mentor at the school. These people were considered to have a certain social status.

It is easy to buy a smart phone, but the middle-aged man next to Chen Boxu is using Nokia's PHS.

He looked at the man's badge;

"Secretary Chen..."
