Li Caijin, the former founder of Caijin Group.
He passed away several months ago, and the assets he left behind are countless, far more than what is on the surface. Let alone the Titanic where everyone is at the moment. If the organizer of this party didn't say it, who would know that this was once Li Caijin's private cruise ship
"This is just Li Caijin's personal property."
"This does not include the huge assets of Caijin Group itself. Apart from other things, the 55% of Caijin Group's shares held by Li Caijin himself is a priceless treasure. As far as I know, no one has obtained Li Caijin's shares yet."
Perhaps because he had a deep impression of Li Caijin himself, Gu Moli also paid close attention to Caijin Group afterwards. And because he still had some connection with the old butler beside Li Caijin, he knew a little bit about the inside story of the current Caijin Group.
"So I guess the so-called treasure should be the shares of Caijin Group."
"So according to what you mean, what we are looking for may be a certificate of equity transfer?"
“Yes and no.”
Gu Moli glanced at Ren Xuan and continued, "This is just a possibility. Didn't you hear the broadcast just now? He also has connections with the Hero Trial Headquarters, and Li Caijin was once a sponsor of the Hero Trial, so maybe the treasure is also related to the Hero Trial."
"all in all... .."
Having said that, Gu Moli finally turned his gaze away and looked at someone who had remained silent since the beginning of the broadcast and tried his best to eliminate his own presence.
The staff who had previously stopped Ren Xuan and others from entering the central hall.
"... ..I have said everything that needs to be said."
"Can we go in now?"
"sure."
The staff smiled helplessly, then immediately opened the door to the central hall, and soon a luxurious reception hall came into view for everyone.
"Dear guests, there is one thing I want to make clear first."
"What's up?"
"Once you enter this central hall, you can't come out."
"... .Why?"
This time it was Zhiji Nanxun who raised the question, and the staff spread their hands and said, "It was ordered by the higher-ups that once you enter the central hall, it's the same as giving up on finding the treasure, which means you've quit the game. If that's the case, of course you can't reconnect, and there's nothing we can do about it."
"It really feels like a script... Could the organizer be a player as well?"
Ren Xuan underestimated a few words, and beside him, Mo Lian was also thoughtful: "To be able to hold such a party on the Titanic, and to promise a large amount of rewards after the success, not limited to money, game props are also OK, to have such power... .Li Caijin's descendants?"
"That's not right. As far as I remember, Li Caijin has no descendants."
"Maybe a bastard?"
"Not a bastard."
Gu Moli interrupted Mo Lian and Ren Xuan's discussion and said firmly: "Apart from Li Caijin's offspring, I am more inclined to be Li Caijin's friend."
"friend?"
"... maybe a friend."
Gu Moli said something vaguely, and then he looked at his confidant Nanxun. Both of them saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
They are not that forgetful.
The organizer called himself...Mr. Wu!
These three words Gu Moli had almost never actually appeared since he joined the game Hero Trial. However, his traces were everywhere, the Lost Shambhala, the City of Heroism, and the Ouroboros mark. Gu Moli would never forget it.
(Ouroboros... No way, can he come to reality?)
(Just kidding....)
Although they had long speculated that the "gods" in the game were actually living beings, Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun both confirmed one thing, that is, these gods seemed to be limited to the game and had no way of actually appearing in reality, but now it seemed that there was an exception.
(Of course, it is possible that someone is impersonating someone else.)
(To be honest, you still have to meet in person to know.)
(That makes sense....)
Gu Moli and his confidant Nanxun looked into each other's eyes, with twinkling glances in each other's eyes. There was no need for further verbal communication, as the two naturally understood each other's thoughts.
Until the vision of both of them was blocked by a hand at the same time.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
“Stop looking!”
Gu Moli and Zhiji Nanxun came back to their senses at the same time, and found that they were both too immersed in thinking, which was probably the same as being in a daze in the eyes of outsiders. Then they turned their heads and saw Hua Qiong with an expression that said "I didn't do anything just now" and turned his face away silently.
However, Ren Xuan and Mo Lian seemed unaware.
Only Lin Kai, who had the lowest presence, was looking at Gu Moli and the other two with a weird expression, especially at Gu Moli, as if he was looking at God.
At this moment, the staff member who was left aside by the players who were being discussed continued to speak:
"Ahem, if you don't want to go in now, how about letting me tell you about the clues to the treasures hidden on this floor?"
"Oh sorry sorry."
"You say it."
Several players immediately refocused their attention on the staff, who heaved a sigh of relief and said, "This is the second floor of the Titanic. The master left only one clue, which is that the treasure is hidden in a non-existent room."
"The room that doesn't exist."
Good job.
Gu Moli raised his eyebrows. He was very impressed by Li Caijin. He was obviously proficient in business methods, but he also loved to write detective novels. However, his level was basically third-rate. The puzzles created by such a person should not be difficult in essence, but just empty tricks.
It is better to say that there is no unsolvable puzzle in the world.
The more unsolvable the puzzle is.
Once you find the trick, you will find it becomes easier.
And the more perfect.
The more loopholes there are.
"The room doesn't exist. Well, how many rooms are there on this floor?" Ren Xuan said after a while after hearing what the staff said.
"There are sixty-two rooms in total."
“So many.”
Ren Xuan smacked his lips, but quickly cheered up: "It's okay, there are only sixty-two rooms. I'm not bragging, I'm very good at similar treasure hunt games."
"Really?" Gu Moli glanced at him and said, "Let me ask you, what method do you usually use to play this kind of treasure hunting game?"
"Need I say more?" Ren Xuan waved his hand and said proudly, "Of course I will open them all and read them all!"
"Very good." Gu Moli nodded.
"You think this is a good idea too?"
"Of course it's good. You are worthy of being able to come up with this method, Extra A."
"Hello!"
Gu Moli shook his head. Since it was a puzzle set by Li Caijin, he should not think of it too complicatedly. Instead, he should think of it in a simple way.
For example... ..
"There are a total of sixty-two rooms on this floor, including our respective residences. But since the person who asked the question dared to claim that this room does not exist, it means that the thing is most likely not in these sixty-two rooms. In addition to these sixty-two rooms, are there other rooms?"
Ren Xuan quickly turned and looked at the staff.
The latter shook his head wildly.
"It's gone! You see, we still have to look for them one by one!"
Before Ren Xuan finished speaking, Hua Qiong, Mo Lian, and Lin Kai all cast their gazes at him, either with pity, surprise, helplessness, or headaches, which made Ren Xuan's scalp numb: "What, what's the matter? Did I say something wrong?"
"Who said there are no other rooms?"
"Of course."
“Isn’t that it?”
"Ah Xuan..."
Looking at this scene where everyone is awake but I am the only one drunk, Ren Xuan suddenly had the illusion that I am really just a supporting role.
However, at this moment, Gu Moli, who had been saying that he was a supporting actor, suddenly walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and then said very seriously: "I was wrong before. I really looked down on you by saying that you were supporting actor A. I'm sorry."
"Gu Moli..."
"You are actually the supporting role!"
“… ... ... .”
Ren Xuan's mentality collapsed.
"Okay, okay, don't be so autistic. Look back. The so-called non-existent room is right behind you."
"What behind... ah."
Even Ren Xuan reacted when it came to this.
The place that players are not allowed to enter unless they give up: the central hall. If you have to say that there is a non-existent room on this floor, the central hall is the most likely one.
"The thing might be hidden in the middle hall!"
“It’s just a possibility.”
Gu Moli shook his head: "According to my estimation, the possibility is about 40%. After all, this answer is a bit too simple."
"Forty percent, there are attempts... Wait."
"You thought of it?"
Gu Moli spread her hands and said, "Entering this central hall means losing your player qualification. The chance is 40%. If you don't get it, you will lose a lot."
"this... .."
Players who enter the central hall automatically give up their rights. If they find the treasure, everything will be fine. If they don't find it, wouldn't it be a waste of time to help others? If they lose their player qualifications, even if they find the treasure in the end, who knows whether the organizer will still include them in the reward.
Who is willing to do it
Who can do it
A choice other than the puzzle was placed in front of everyone. The players looked at each other, and finally Hua Qiong hesitated for a moment and decided to stand up.
The reason for standing up is not actually because of her noble character.
The reason is actually very pure.
She is not short of money.
But before that, another player took the initiative to stand up and said, "Why don't you let me come? Actually, I'm here just to accompany Xuan and the others."
It’s the extra male B.
It took Gu Moli five seconds to remember that his name seemed to be Lin Kai.
"Okay! It's you!" Facing Lin Kai's initiative, Ren Xuan nodded without hesitation: "Leave it to you! If you find the thing, you will be the first-class merit!"
"I'll give you an extra share of the prize!"
"Okay."
The words fully revealed the mutual trust among Ren Xuan's small group of players.
In contrast, someone likes to snatch other people's rings... Gu Moli glared at Hua Qiong fiercely, while the latter hid behind Zhiji Nanxun with a guilty conscience.
"Are you sure you want to go in, Mr. Lin?"
"Sure."
"That's fine."
The staff member nodded, then stepped forward and spread his hands towards Lin Kai. Lin Kai waved his hand in a very cool manner and strode in.
"Remember to look carefully! Don't miss it!"
"Don't worry!"
After ten minutes, Lin Kai finally came back with a strange look on his face. He looked embarrassed and said, "Well, what does the treasure look like?"
Everyone: “… ”
"Didn't I say it's a treasure?" Ren Xuan scratched his head: "It should be something that you can tell is very precious at a glance, something that makes people unable to look away."
“But…” Lin Kai looked embarrassed: “… Everything in this main hall looks like a treasure to me.”
"Is there no accurate description?"
"this... ."
Everyone's attention quickly shifted to the staff member, who spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I don't have any relevant clues."
"What the hell!" Ren Xuan couldn't help but raise his voice: "They just told us that the treasure is hidden in a non-existent room, but they didn't tell us what the treasure looks like? In this way, even if we enter the non-existent room and see the treasure, we won't be able to recognize it at all!"
“How should I know…” The staff was also very helpless.
However, unlike Ren Xuan, the others fell into deep thought after hearing the staff's words, especially Gu Moli, who felt that he might have guessed wrong before.
It is impossible for Li Caijin to leave an unsolved mystery.
And with his level, it is impossible for him to leave a very difficult puzzle.
In that case... ..
(It must be similar to the time when we saw the Twin Towers. It seems difficult, but it is actually very simple.)
(I just haven't figured out how to do it yet.)
(What’s the trick?)
There is only one clue: the treasure is hidden in a non-existent room.
It neither describes what the treasure looks like nor what type of treasure it is, so the focus is not on the treasure but on the non-existent room at the back.
In other words, as long as you find the non-existent room, you will naturally know what the treasure is.
If that's the case... ..
(The central hall seems unlikely.)
(Oops.)
(It would be embarrassing if I guessed wrong... .)
Looking at Lin Kai who was still running around in the central hall, trying to find the so-called treasure, Gu Moli rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "This is not a solution."
"What's wrong?"
"As the saying goes, a two-pronged approach is the best way. If we always focus on the central hall, we may overlook other valuable clues. How about this, we split up and let the extra man B stay in the central hall first, and then we each go to other places to look for it."
“His name is Lin Kai… ..”
"Okay, I'll remember this, supporting actor A."
"My name is Ren Xuan!"
"Pfft..." Seeing Ren Xuan looking mad, Mo Lian first covered her mouth and chuckled, then said, "I also think it's better to do this."
"That's settled then."
"Split up."
"Well, okay!"
After discussing the route and agreeing to meet at the entrance of the central hall in an hour, Gu Moli and the other two and Ren Xuan and Mo Lian decided to separate and go their separate ways.
And just at this moment.
"Oh, sorry, wait a moment."
The staff member suddenly called the five people, then ran into the central hall, took out a folded square paper, and handed it to Gu Moli.
"The Titanic is a private cruise ship after all, and it's quite large. Some places belong to the engine room. Although it's not forbidden to enter, you must be accompanied by a staff member when you enter. This is the map of this floor. Please pay attention to the markings on it and be careful not to mess around."
Looking at the map in his hand, Gu Moli frowned: "Only one?"
"Yes." The staff nodded and continued, "But this will not affect your separate investigations. Here, there is a QR code in the upper right corner of the map. Just download the Caijin Group's dating app and scan it with the app, and you can open the map directly on your phone."
"... ..was this also designed by Li Caijin?"
"It was indeed designed by the master."
Good job.
He is indeed a business genius.
