C12 The Magic Cube Problem

Of course, Lu Chen was only guessing about the effects of the first level of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. If he wanted to know the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he would have to open the details page.

However, since he only had two energy points left, he could not afford to pay for the information page. Therefore, the details page was currently gray and could not be clicked.

As the saying goes, good food is not afraid of being late. Lu Chen did not force himself to do anything. He stretched his waist and laid down on the bed to sleep.

...

There was no such thing as a week in the Aetheria. After the year and the month, there would be a month and three days in a month.

According to the rules of the Ruby Empire, there would be two and a half days of holidays every month. From the seventh day of the month to the ninth day of the month.

The work of the servant disciples of the Azure Sect was on rotation. The servant disciples of each Spirit Peak would be divided into two groups. Each group would be responsible for one month and take turns.

Logically speaking, as a new servant disciple, even if he had just joined, he should immediately enter his work mode and familiarize himself with the daily work of the servant disciples.

However, Lu Chen was different. He was an exception who had been transferred into the Servants' Quarters through his relationship with the Principal of the Servants' Quarters, Wei Qianxian.

In addition, with Xue Xiaoling's ruckus yesterday, everyone became wary of Lu Chen.

Lee Qi was no exception. He was able to become the Supervisor of the Azure Peak because he naturally knew how to use his connections.

In any case, there was enough manpower in the Servants' Quarters at Azure Peak, so when Lu Chen went to the Servants' Quarters early in the morning to report and inquire about the specific duties of the Servants' Quarters.

Lee Qi immediately let him off the hook, and allowed Lu Chen to do whatever he wanted for the next few days, and then officially entered the workforce.

As for the work of the Servants' Quarters, Lee Qi also arranged for Lu Chen to be assigned the best job, and was transferred to the most relaxed Patrol Group, and was responsible for patrolling the entire Azure Peak.

Patroling the night, this job seemed to require him to stay up late, and it seemed to be very dangerous, but in reality, it was the most enviable job of the Servants' Quarters.

This was because the work of the Servants' Quarters was fixed, and after being assigned to the Patrol Group, the rest of the Servants' Quarters work during the day would have nothing to do with Lu Chen, and even during the working period, he could freely go to the various Spirit Peak's classrooms to listen to the lectures.

As for the danger, that was purely a worry.

The Azure Sect was one of the three great sects of Zriftol, and there would not be any thieves or thugs who would dare to come and cause trouble, and the Azure Peak was located at the center of the Azure Sect, and was considered the safest core zone, so it was very difficult for outsiders to enter.

Moreover, the so-called Patroling the Night of the Servants' Quarters was just a show.

If they really met an enemy who dared to invade, the sect would not expect a Servant to be able to take him down, at most, it would be a warning, and at that time, the sect's guard team of the arcane cultivators would naturally rush over to deal with him.

Since Lee Qi had already given him a leave of absence, Lu Chen naturally would not rush to work. He was not a hardworking person, so he could be lazy if he wanted to.

...

"Lu Chen, have you finished drawing the blueprint?"

Not long after he finished his breakfast, Xue Xiaoling came to find him. She lived on the peak of Azure Peak, which was very close to the Great Garden at the foot of the mountain.

Early in the morning, she found the house Lu Chen had left behind yesterday.

"Xue Xiaoling, you're here. Come in quickly. I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing the pretty girl in white standing outside the door, Lu Chen directly smiled and pulled her into the room, closing the door behind him.

In Lu Chen's opinion, this was nothing. Although Xue Xiaoling was very pretty, she was only fourteen years old. Lu Chen was not a person who liked eating green apples, so he had never thought of taking advantage of her.

However, when the servants in the courtyard saw this scene, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

This was the beloved daughter of the Sect Master. Lu Chen actually dared to pull her into his room. He was going to die!

Was he not afraid that if some bad rumors were to spread, the Sect Master would tear him into pieces?

Xue Xiaoling, who had been pulled into the room, felt a little uneasy. Although she was innocent and careless, she was still a girl. She knew that men and women were different.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she had entered a room with a man of the same age. Lu Chen had even closed the door, which made her subconsciously feel nervous.

The single room that the servant disciples lived in was very small. There was only a bed, a desk, a storage cabinet, and a stool in the room.

Being in the same room with a man of the same age that Lu Chen was not familiar with, Xue Xiaoling was a little nervous and curious.

After looking around, perhaps because Lu Chen had just moved in, the small room was not as messy as she had imagined. It was just that the lighting was not good. Even if it was daytime, the room was still a little dark when the door was closed.

However, this was not a problem, because there was a Lamp of Shadows in the room.

This was a small Shadow Artifact that was similar to an electric light. It was installed on the roof, and the energy source came from the special Rune Circle that was set up underground. It was connected through a specific frequency.

"Pa!"

Lu Chen also felt that it was a little dark, so he pressed the Lamp of Shadows on the door and turned on the Lamp of Shadows.

He did not notice Xue Xiaoling's restraint and nervousness. Instead, he excitedly took out the drawings he had drawn last night and handed them to her. He said mysteriously, "Look at them first. This is the ultimate problem that I thought of for you. It will definitely be difficult for your Yanyan."

"Really?"

When Xue Xiaoling heard this, she immediately smiled and revealed two cute dimples on her face. She took the drawings and quickly looked at them.

However, after looking at it for a while, she could not understand what was so difficult about this Rubik's cube. She could not help but ask, "Lu Chen, what is the purpose of this Rubik's cube?"

Lu Chen explained, "This is a kind of intelligence toy similar to the puzzle ring. It tests the ability of one's spatial thinking. Simply put, it tests how one can turn the center axis and disrupt the Rubik's cube. Then, one can think of a way to restore it."

"Oh..."

Xue Xiaoling looked like she had suddenly realized something. In fact, she did not understand at all. She was just confused.

Anyway, judging from Lu Chen's tone, this Rubik's cube must be a very difficult intelligence toy, even more difficult than the puzzle ring.

"That's great! Then, I'll go find someone to make the Rubik's cube now."

Xue Xiaoling wanted to leave excitedly. However, Lu Chen was quick to react. He reached out his hand and grabbed her ponytail, pulling her back. He said anxiously, "Ah, don't go yet! I'm not giving this thing to you for free."

"Aiya, Lu Chen, you messed up my hair."

Xue Xiaoling struggled away from Lu Chen's hand in embarrassment and anger. Then, she opened her big blue eyes and looked at him angrily. "What do you mean by giving it to you for free? Aren't we friends? Do you want me to take money from you?"

Lu Chen shook his head and looked into her eyes. He said in all seriousness, "I'm not asking you for money. I'm asking you to give me money!"

"Eh? You gave me money? What do you mean?"

Xue Xiaoling blinked her eyes, and her expression seemed to be even more confused. She could not understand what Lu Chen was talking about.

Lu Chen pulled Xue Xiaoling to sit beside his bed, and then began to explain his cooperation plan one by one.

After a long time, Xue Xiaoling finally understood and concluded, "You mean to say that we will order a thousand Magic Rubbles and then use Yanyan's fame to sell them to those admirers of hers at a high price?"

Lu Chen nodded like a chicken pecking on rice and said, "That's right. Think about it. If Yan Qingmeng is able to stop the Magic Cube, those admirers of hers will definitely do everything in their power to help their goddess solve the problem. However, if they want to research the method to restore the Magic Cube, they will first need a Magic Cube. At that time, we will sell it at a high price and earn a profit."

Lu Chen originally thought that this kind of explanation would definitely move this little girl, but unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoling rejected him.

"That won't do. There are many admirers of Yanyan. If the restoration method of the Magic Cube is really found out by them, wouldn't I not be able to get the Windweaving?"

Xue Xiaoling rejected Lu Chen's suggestion without hesitation. She added, "Besides, I don't lack money. Why should I do all this? If Yanyan finds out that I am earning money from her, she might even get angry at me!"

Lu Chen said with a dark face, "Of course you don't lack money, but I do! I have been working so hard to help you and earning some living expenses. Isn't that normal?"

Xue Xiaoling was still unwilling, "Then you can't use this method either. What if those people really figured out the way to play this Rubik's cube? That would be the last problem. "

"How about we forget about the matter of selling the Rubik's cube? As long as this question can stump Yanyan, I will give you 50 gold coins as your reward." Xue Xiaoling suggested generously.

50 gold coins? Hehe, are you trying to send a beggar away? If I buy this Rubik's cube well, I can earn at least a few hundred gold coins!

Lu Chen decisively shook his head and refused, "We are friends, how can I accept your money? Besides, your worries are completely unnecessary. Think about it, if this Rubik's cube can stump Yan Qingmeng, then it would naturally be easy for others to figure it out.

The way to play this Rubik's cube is not something that can be quickly solved with just a few people. In three days, to be honest, even if everyone in Zriftol came together to study it, they would still not be able to figure it out."

Xue Xiaoling looked at the blueprint in her hand and was a little surprised. She asked doubtfully, "Is this Rubik's cube really that difficult?"

"Don't worry. I definitely didn't lie to you. If the Magic Cube is difficult for Yan Qingmeng, you can come and find me for trouble. I will not say a word." In order to make Xue Xiaoling believe him, Lu Chen did not hesitate to make a military order.

Hearing this, Xue Xiaoling believed him to a great extent. In the end, she nodded and said, "Alright then! Just do as you say! What should we do now? Let's go to Forge Peak and find someone to order the Magic Cube?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "If I don't go to the Forge Peak, the Magic Cube will just be a toy. Any ordinary carpenter or blacksmith can make it, but the Forge Peak is full of arcane cultivators, so the production price is much higher than that of the town. So, I plan to order it from the town."
