A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.

According to the map, she and Lan Xiangyuan had already overcome the two traps at the beginning of the tomb passage. As for Weiweiwei, according to his confession, he entered through a hole dug from the side, thus avoiding the first two traps, but he could not avoid the third trap no matter what.

The third level is an underground river that separates the inside from the outside.

The remaining tombs are hidden deep underwater, and one cannot approach them without crossing the river.

Standing by the gurgling river, wearing the water suit given to her by Nie Wan, Lan Xiangyuan couldn't help but speak after tentatively stretching her feet down.

"Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang used mercury to build a river for his mausoleum. Is this river similar?"

She felt that something was wrong with the river water. It was light blue when it was right in front of them, but it turned dark black two meters away. It didn't look normal at all.

Weiweiwei nodded: "I think so too."

After saying that, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, afraid that Nie Wan would blame him for talking too much.

Nie Wan did indeed glance at him.

"Don't play dumb, tell me honestly, how did you trigger the mechanism just now?"

In her past life, she had heard a word from Weiweiwei.

Underwater cliff.

The change in water density due to altitude changes causes a sudden increase in buoyancy, pulling the object directly to the bottom.

He had never encountered a tomb with such a mechanism in real life, but he had encountered such a situation several times in the game.

In his past life, Weiwei Kui knew so much, and in this life, Nie Wan had just witnessed him being chased by the river. Nie Wan simply couldn't believe that he knew nothing about the river.

"W-what? What did you say, master? How could a newbie like me understand these things... I know, I know!"

Nie Wan flicked her silver needle, which grazed his temple, causing a -300 damage. Wei Weiwei quickly raised his hands and told the truth.

"There's a huge Bagua formation-like thing underwater. You have to step on the correct mechanisms to cross the underwater cliff. If you step on the wrong one three times, you'll be swept away by the water and suffocate! That's all!"

"The Eight Trigrams Formation?"

After her initial curiosity, Lan Xiangyuan revealed an eager expression.

“I studied the I Ching with my dad for a while, maybe it will be helpful.”

Nie Wan said, "Then wait a moment, we'll be counting on you in a bit."

As he spoke, he summoned the armored golem, handed it the luminous pearl, and sent it into the water to check the situation in the shallows.

The armored golem suddenly appeared, standing right in front of Weiwei Kui.

Looking up at the armored puppet, which was one meter wide and two meters tall, with shoulders like double-door refrigerators, Weiweiwei was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Is this the pet of a gaming master?

Before she could even get a good look at it, the armored puppet, under Nie Wan's control, jumped into the water with a splash, soaking Wei Weiwei.

Nie Wan, who shared vision with the armored golem, immediately saw that beneath the rippling water was a chessboard-like stone platform, with horizontal and vertical lines intersecting to cut out thousands of small squares.

Indeed, many hexagrams are scattered throughout these grids.

In the row closest to the riverbank, from left to right, are scattered hexagrams such as "Ji Ji", "Gui Mei", "Tong Ren", "Sui", and "Shi He". Some hexagrams are separated by only one grid, while others are separated by several grids, making it impossible to discern any pattern or order.

Looking ahead, the situation in the grid is no different.

Nie Wan took in the entire stone platform, then turned to Lan Xiangyuan and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to use the I Ching you've learned."

"how?"

"Although it is represented by hexagrams, whether viewed as a whole or in parts, it is nothing more than a... Sudoku game."

"what?"

Lan Xiangyuan and Wei Weiwei spoke at the same time.

Weiweiwei followed up with, "What is Sudoku?"

Lan Xiangyuan immediately stared at him with wide eyes.

"Are you serious? Dude, what kind of environment did you grow up in?"

Weiweiwei smiled politely: "I'm sorry, I've been following my grandfather around tomb raiding since I was a child, so I haven't seen much of the stuff in big cities."

"Ah this."

Why is Sudoku considered something only found in big cities?

Lan Xiangyuan was speechless for a moment, her mouth full of words, but she didn't know which sentence to say first.

Nie Wan interrupted their conversation, saying, "64 rows and 64 columns, the largest number scattered inside is 64. I think it's a Sudoku puzzle. Follow my solution. Anyway, even if I fail, I have a way to get out of this."

After saying that, he grabbed the two men's arms and jumped down.

Lan Xiangyuan didn't even have time to express her opinion before she was dragged into the water.

She struggled to open her eyes in the water and, by the light of the luminous pearl in the armored golem's hand, saw the stone platform clearly. Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that it was indeed a Sudoku puzzle!

What a terrible game! They've laid out all 64 hexagrams, just to play a Sudoku puzzle with the players?

She complained as she swam downstream, eventually landing in the leftmost square closest to the riverbank, just as Nie Wan had landed.

Weiwei Kui was still a little nervous and didn't dare to follow the two closely. He kept his eyes fixed on their footsteps, ready to turn around and run away as soon as the trap was triggered.

The two of them landed steadily on the squares, and nothing happened. He breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw that Nie Wan seemed about to turn around again, he quickly followed and stomped heavily on the square to his left to show that he absolutely trusted Lord You Yuehan's judgment.

Lan Xiangyuan took in his actions, rolled her eyes, and secretly messaged Nie Wan: "This little brother is a bit of a fence-sitter, shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"

"His son will naturally learn his lesson in time."

Nie Wan gave a perfunctory reply.

At this moment, most of her attention was focused on the armored golem. From the golem's view, which was high above the water, she could see all the numbers in the sixty-four rows.

Sudoku itself isn't difficult, but navigating the sometimes fast and sometimes slow currents without stepping on the wrong squares that are only big enough for two feet is quite challenging.

Nie Wan told the two people to follow her closely, and she continued to walk forward while making calculations. Soon she reached the bottom of the cliff, but the cliff was still quiet, and there was no sign of the steps leading to the inner tomb that Weiweiwei had mentioned.

Nie Wan peered down into the water and saw many upright corpses reflected in the water.

According to the established setting, these should be the bodies of tomb raiders who attempted to enter the lake over the past few decades but were swept away by the current and drowned.

After years of being submerged in deep water, these corpses have decomposed and changed, and now only scattered skeletons remain. Even the clothes on their bodies have slowly turned into strips of cloth in the water.

Lan Xiangyuan glanced at it too, immediately frowned, and complained to Nie Wan, "Does this count as soaking in corpse water?"

"It's just game data, don't take it seriously."
