What?! The Gamemaster And The Top Player Are Dating?! - Chapter 213

Liang Feng’s frown seemed to deepen as he heard this, “How many numbers are needed for the passcode?”

“Six,” It was Zhihao who spoke up this time as he answered the man.

Liang Feng seemed to be thinking deeply about it as he constantly looked at the lock with his mind lost in thoughts.

“What if we have already been given the hint?” Li Ying suddenly asked.

“What do you mean?” Wang GuiYing questioned as he looked at the girl.

“As in what if it’s something we already know. There are six digits so I’m sure the system doesn’t expect us to suddenly guess it right within ten minutes. For the system to create a game that can’t be cleared is even harder to believe. So that means the system already expects us to know the answer.”

“What’s your guess?” It was Zhihao who asked as he suddenly thought that the girl made sense.. If the system had already given them a hint then it would definitely make things a bit easier for them.

Li Ying shrugged her shoulders as she answered, “I have no idea what it might be but I can still give you some guesses. Maybe it has something to do with the number of floors or the number of players. Something that involves calculation.”

Wang GuiYing’s eyes twitched as he heard the girl, “For it to be that complicated… It sounds ridiculous.”

Li Ying, “It’s worth a try.”

Zhihao seemed to have been convinced as he spoke up, “There are eleven floors according to the map on our phones and ten floors according to the map posted on the emergency staircase. There are eleven players as well… Wait a second.”

“What is it?” It was Zhou Xinyi who asked this time and it was probably the first time the man had said anything today.

“There are eleven floors and there are eleven players as well,” Zhihao suddenly commented as his eyes slowly widened in realization, “The system never said that all the yellow tickets were in one place. It only said that the yellow tickets are hidden inside this building. The number eleven is common so I’m guessing that there is one yellow ticket on each floor.”

“Wait! I get it!” Li Ying suddenly exclaimed, “Brother Zhihao is probably right. Although this may be a competition, the system never forbade us from working together. If we choose one floor and stick to it, we might all find a ticket.”

“Then that leaves us a problem,” Tian Xifeng informed.

“What problem?” Li Ying looked at the woman curiously.

“The rest four are missing. We have no idea which floor they chose and we don’t even know if they have found the ticket or not.”

Li Ying’s eyebrows furrowed together in worry as she heard this and after a minute of contemplation, she responded, “They probably figured this out sooner than us.”

Tian Xifeng frowned, “Are you sure about that?”

Li Ying nodded as she walked over to a window on the side. her lips curled up in a small smile as she saw a car driving out of the building, “I told you didn’t I? They figured it out sooner.”

What?!” Tian Xifeng cried out in disbelief as she walked over and looked outside the window, “That dumb kid actually managed to find it?!”

Li Ying chuckled as she looked at Tian Xifeng, “He’s not a dumb kid.”

Tian Xifeng rolled her eyes but said nothing against that.

“Then if we know which floors they took, we can choose the rest of the floors?” Wang GuiYing asked.

Li Ying bit her bottom lip as she thought about it carefully and responded, “I might have an idea.”

“What is it?” Zhihao asked enthusiastically.

“The ground floor, The first floor, the second floor, and the third floor.” Li Ying looked to be determined as she added, “Those are probably the ones they chose. So let’s check out the other floors.”

“Eh? Why would you say that?” Tian Xifeng questioned in confusion.

“That makes sense,” Zhihao spoke up as he looked at Li Ying, “If there is a ticket on each floor then they would probably not bother coming all the way up here. We were standing on the first underground parking lot so they probably started checking the above floors one by one. It’s our best bet.”

“Then that leaves us The fourth floor, the fifth floor, the sixth floor, the seventh floor, the eighth floor, the underground parking, and the secret floor below that?” Tian Xifeng spoke up as she counted on her hands.

Zhihao nodded as a response, “Let’s divide up and search.”

“Wait…” Tian Xifeng exclaimed, “Then that means someone would have to go down to the underground parking again!”

Zhihao pursed his lips together as he suddenly felt the need to give this girl a smack on her head. He sighed as he reassured her, “Don’t worry about it. You can take this floor.”

“Oh, I can?” Tian Xifeng suddenly broke out into a warm smile as she heard Zhihao, “I knew it! Gege is the best! You always treat me the best!”

Li Ying rolled her eyes as she heard this and Zhihao simply smiled awkwardly without saying anything in turn.

Tian Xifeng, “Then I’ll start searching now.”

Zhihao nodded.

Li Ying, “I’ll take the floor below this one.”

Wang GuiYing, “In that case, I’ll take the sixth floor and Xinyi would take the fifth floor.”

Zhihao nodded once again as he agreed, “Then that leaves the fourth floor, the underground floor, and the secret floor.”

Li Ling suddenly stopped as he sighed and slammed his hand on the door, “This is useless! I can’t guess the passcode.”

Everyone immediately looked at the man with a bit of shock as they realized how frustrated he must have felt for being the only one that was trying to break this lock.

They could divide up the floors but they would still have to break this lock or one of them would have to be left behind and nobody was willing to let that happen.

“I have a question,” Liang Feng spoke up as his pupils contracted.

“What is it?” Li Ying asked as she turned to face the man.

“Why don’t you just break down the door?”

“…”

Shockingly enough, in the state of panic and overthinking, none of them had actually considered this seemingly easy solution.

“Brother Liang Feng… You’re a genius,” Li Ying suddenly praised him.

She gulped and looked around before her eyes lay on the fire extinguisher. She immediately grabbed it and brought it back as she lightly kicked her brother, “Move it.”

Li Ling frowned as he gave the girl some space and the girl lifted the fire extinguisher before banging it loudly on the door lock.

The first hit made a loud sound but it did nothing much, however, she didn’t look to be dejected as she lifted it again and hit the door with double the force which she had used in the previous hit. This time, the lock seemed to have been loosened and she smiled in victory before throwing the fire extinguisher aside and warning out, “Step aside!”

She lifted her leg and with all the force that she could muster up, she kicked the door and the door immediately broke down as it fell into the room.

“Hmm… Well, that was easy,” Li Ling muttered as he looked at the broken door in disbelief.

He had been trying to figure out the passcode for the last five minutes and all it took was just a kick?

Zhihao turned on his phone screen and looked at the timer as he announced, “Less than 2 minutes remaining. Get moving.”

Zhihao grabbed Li Ling’s hand and pulled him up as he exclaimed, “I’ll take the parking and Li Ling would take the fourth floor. Brother Liang Feng, I hope you have no problem with that…?”

Liang Feng shook his head as he responded, “Don’t worry about it.”

Zhihao nodded as he pulled Li Ling along and headed back down the stairs.

Wang GuiYing and Zhou Xinyi also ran after them and Li Ying was the final person to leave as she stayed behind to give Liang Feng a nod.

As soon as everyone left, Tian Xifeng who was busy searching for the yellow ticket till now suddenly exclaimed, “I got it!”

“Eh?” Liang Feng looked at the woman.

Tian Xifeng waved the yellow ticket in front of her as she showed it off to Liang Feng, “I got it.”

“…”

“So now you get moving too. You stayed behind and waited for me so I’ll also wait for you downstairs. Make sure to come fast,” Tian Xifeng spoke up as she coughed and tried to hide her embarrassment.

Liang Feng couldn’t help but chuckle softly as he heard this. He nodded his head as he responded, “I’ll make sure to be quick.”

Tian Xifeng pursed her lips as she nodded and headed down the stairs.

Liang Feng also didn’t waste any more time as he headed inside the room and found the entrance to the secret floor.

“Oh… Wow…” Liang Feng muttered as he looked at the entrance.
