Chapter 844: Legendary Pentathlon Challenge
There were even some poor gamblers who started to borrow money to raise the registration fee of 200 gold coins!
Matthew looked deeply at the gem.
At this moment, Sif shook his arm. Matthew turned around and found that she was looking at him with a fascinated gaze.
“What a beautiful gem, Matthew!
“Are we really not going to try?
“What I mean is, since the registration fee is only 200 gold coins, I can pay for it…”
Were women really not immune to gemstones?
Matthew laughed in his heart.
However, he nodded.
“Then let’s participate and have some fun.”
Very quickly.
The two of them came to the registration passage at the side.
200 gold coins was a huge registration fee.
Although many people were tempted.
It was still rare to see someone take direct action like Matthew.
Therefore, they quickly arrived at the front of the queue.
“All five challenges?
“Then it’ll be 1000 gold coins!
“I suggest you sign up for four first. If you can clear the first four, you can sign up for the fifth one. This is a kind suggestion. Of course, I won’t stop you if you insist on giving money to my boss.”
Under the suggestion of the young man in charge of registration and collection.
Matthew finally paid 800 gold coins and received four pink coupons to prove his identity.
“Take this coupon and go straight to the east gate of the theater. You two can participate in the challenge.
” I wish you all a happy competition. But remember, the competition comes second, and relationships come first!”
The young man said cheerfully.
Sif asked curiously,
“Why do you say that?”
The young man explained,
” Because the legendary five challenges often test the tacit understanding and trust of both parties, it’s best for brothers to participate together.
” I’ve seen a lot of couples join hands to participate in the challenge, but they break up after that. This is really miserable for most men. After all, they paid a sum of money to save their lives and then lost their girlfriend.
“In short, if your boyfriend doesn’t perform well in the competition, please be more understanding. After all, from the way you two dress, you shouldn’t be serious adventurers, right?
“I’m guessing that you’re young ladies and young masters from rich families who are here to experience life, so as long as you remember that happiness is the most important!”
Sif didn’t seem to have heard the details of the young man’s explanation, but when she heard ” your boyfriend,” her eyes narrowed into a line, and her eyes were full of smiles.
Matthew didn’t want to pour cold water on her.
The two of them quickly left the registration desk.
They walked half a circle around the theatre and came to the east side. When they passed a small door, they met a few idle staff members.
Matthew showed them the pink coupon in his hand.
One of the fat men came up and asked meticulously,
” You are the first group to participate in today’s Legendary 5 Challenge. According to the usual practice, you are qualified to choose the order of the first four rounds. Which round do you plan to start from?”
Matthew said calmly,
“Just follow the normal order.”
Fatty clapped his hands.
“Then let’s unlock it.”
As he spoke, he brought the two of them into a room that looked like a secret chamber.
The walls of the secret chamber were painted black.
There were more than ten candles inside.
It was neither bright nor dark, but it gave off a rather oppressive feeling.
In the middle of the secret room was a transparent and sealed glass tank.
There was a small box at the bottom of the tank.
There was a six-digit password lock on the box.
There were two water pipes hanging at both ends of the glass tank, and there were still some water stains at the bottom of the tank that had not been cleaned up.
” The content of ‘Water Unlocking’ is very simple. One of you must choose to enter the tank at the beginning of the game. Remember, the soundproofing effect inside and outside the tank is very good. No matter how loud you shout, you won’t be able to hear each other.
“At the beginning of the challenge, these two water pipes will fill the tank with water. Only by opening the password lock at the bottom of the tank can the person in the tank successfully escape and clear the level.
” Of course, because you are not allowed to use lockpicking tools or scrolls during this process, and to reduce the difficulty, we will directly tell the answer to the password lock to the person standing outside.
” You can use hand gestures or lip reading to convey the answer. This process is bound to be a little torturous, but if you believe in the tacit understanding between the two sides, you can probably pass the level smoothly.
“So, who do the two of you choose to enter?”
Fatty asked as he rubbed his hands.
Matthew said frankly,
“I’ll go in.”
Fatty nodded.
“I’ll get someone to bring you a ladder.”
Three minutes later.
Matthew climbed up the ladder to the tall and enclosed glass tank.
Sif stood outside nervously.
Matthew gave her a reassuring look.
“The challenge begins!”
Fatty gave Matthew an exaggerated gesture.
At that moment.
The water above the water tank sizzled down.
In the blink of an eye, it had reached Matthew’s ankle.
He lowered his head to take a look.
Although the passcode lock had a 6-digit number, the content on it was not a number at all, but a strange pattern!
Outside the vat.
Sif was led to the side by Fatty, who showed her a piece of parchment with six complicated patterns engraved on it.
Sif took a closer look and frowned.
But on the parchment, there were six things drawn in order:
Hedgehog.
Fork.
Hydrangea.
Knight.
Bear.
The moon.
” You only have two minutes at most to remember the picture and tell your boyfriend the contents. Otherwise, you will have failed the challenge.”
