It's dark in front. Only the light from the elevator behind can barely illuminate the distance of less than two meters in front. In this environment, it's obviously unscientific to rush into the darkness where you can't see your fingers to explore clues. The efficiency is very low, and it's easy to encounter danger.
Therefore, it means that there must be hints nearby.
As a result, as soon as Ann turned around, she found three things on the trash can on the left of the elevator door, which should be the clue to this puzzle.
They are a black marker, a flashlight and a miniature physics sword that looks like a crowbar but is only the size of a wrench.
In addition to the role of the marker pen and crowbar, the role of the flashlight has been very clear. Players rely on it to move in a dark environment. Moreover, an Yizhi opened the item attributes and found that the attribute column of the flashlight clearly reads "available for 20 minutes".
Lighting has a time limit. How players use this time has become a shackle, so that players don't have enough time to think.
As for other things, an Yi pointed to rely on the light of the elevator that had not been closed, looked carefully aside, and found nothing strange.
With a snap, he pushed the button of the flashlight up, and a beam of light shone on the floor tile to form an elliptical spot. At the same time, an Yi pointed to the elevator door behind him and closed quietly.
It is estimated that the elevator door has not been closed, which is to make the player aware of the existence of flashlight nearby. Since the player has found the flashlight, the basic lighting provided by the elevator door is naturally unnecessary.
Due to the problem of light emission angle, the spot of flashlight falls a grid away from the floor tile illuminated by the elevator door.
"Hmm? There are words?"
An Yizhi, who was about to lift his feet and turn around, saw that there seemed to be a mark pen. The floor tile with words was just outside the bright range of the elevator door. An Yizhi also saw it after turning on the flashlight.
"The way out of life is at your feet, but please note that you only have one choice, and if you choose wrong, you will fall into an endless abyss."
This is the text written on black bricks in the floor tiles, and Mark can't help but make complaints about it.
"But I'm already in the abyss..."
Then he turned around and walked close to the wall where the elevator door was located. He didn't use his right hand to hit a flashlight and walked along the wall.
The text I saw before is a prompt, and there should be more such prompts.
An Yi pointed to a secret way in his heart. First of all, he should roughly understand how big the dark room is.
He used to measure his stride at leisure, about 60 ~ 65 cm. By calculating the number of steps, he can get how far he has gone.
However, this time we can't use this accurate calculation method, because an Yizhi estimated the side length of the floor tiles under his feet and found that all the floor tiles are square with a side length of one meter. It's just a matter of counting how many floor tiles he has passed.
When he walked along the wall and counted to 25, he couldn't go on, because in front was the wall and the load-bearing column at the right angle between the two walls.
Then he turned right and continued to walk along the wall. This time he counted to 50 and also saw the bearing column at the angle between the two walls, but this time there was also a mark on the floor tile next to the bearing column, with '1' written on it.
Obviously, this is also a hint, but I don't know what's the use for the time being.
Silently keep the number of floor tiles and this hint in mind. An Yizhi continued to turn right and walk forward against the wall.
When he counted to 10, he happened to see that the number '10' was also marked on the tenth floor tile.
Moving on, he saw 20.30.40. And 50 written on the floor tile close to the wall against the left side of the load-bearing column.
And this time, he found a '1' again on the floor tile on the right side of the load-bearing column.
"If you go further, will you see 10.20.30 until 50?"
As expected, I walked to the end. I saw those numbers again on the road. I continued to walk along the wall and returned to the elevator.
Now he has a general grasp of the dark environment.
There was nothing in the room except darkness and floor tiles.
In addition, if the area occupied by the row of floor tiles and load-bearing walls marked with numbers is not counted, assuming that each floor tile is 1 square meter, the room is just 50x50250 square meters.
And those marked numbers, an Yizhi also guessed the use roughly.
X-axis and y-axis.
To put it vividly, the whole room is like a spreadsheet. The place marked with numbers is the basis for determining the x-axis and y-axis, which is a very obvious hint.
Since there are x-axis and y-axis, I think of the previous sentence "the way to escape from heaven is at your feet, but please note that you only have one chance to choose, and if you choose wrong, you will fall into an endless abyss". It is obvious that an Yizhi also needs an accurate digital coordinate.
With this in mind, an Yi pointed out that he no longer relied on the wall, but stepped into the interior of the "spreadsheet" and observed line by line. There were clues there.
If you're right, you'll soon be prompted about numbers.
Sure enough, not far away, he saw a floor tile that said '321 + 536 = 20'.
This is obviously a wrong formula, but since it is written on the floor tile as a hint, there may be other purposes.
Keep the formula in mind. An Yizhi continued to walk forward and finished this line of floor tiles. Not counting the formula he saw first, he also found the following.
143+321=18
536+143=8
321-536+143=?
536-143+321=?
Obviously, the final result represented by the question mark is the XY axis coordinates required by an Yi, and it is also very clear that the numbers in these formulas are synonyms, and the only certainty is the result.
"Isn't this a pupil level equation? Claiming to be God, the puzzle is only pupil level?"
ANN could not help but loudly make complaints about it. Unfortunately, no one in the empty room answered him.
After a little thought, Ann pointed out the answer of the formula.
In fact, it's very easy. It's really a problem at the primary school level.
For example, the first formula, '321 + 536 = 20'.
As long as you are not mentally retarded, you can see that the formula is definitely wrong, but in fact, as long as you contact other formulas and look at it from another angle, you can easily get the result.
321 is assumed to be a, 536 is assumed to be B, and 143 is assumed to be c.
You'll get it eventually.
A+B=20
A+C=18
B+C=8
Finally, it is concluded that a = 15, B = 5, C = 3.
(more specific process please make complaints about yourself, feeling that the simple arithmetic process is written, and will be tucking together.)
Then bring the obtained numbers into the following two formulas with question marks, and finally get 13 and 17.
The whole room found before can be regarded as a reminder of a spreadsheet. These two numbers are the coordinates required by an Yi.
"Isn't it too simple? The field of wisdom is just fooling children."
Ann pointed out the intersection point of 13 and 17 along the wall figures, which should make complaints about the "escape from the sky".
But on the way, he found something else, which was also a formula.
223+536=7
189+143=32
In addition, there are two formulas with a question mark at the end.
189-321+223=?
223+189-536=?
According to the methods and figures obtained from the previous formula, it is also easy to guess that the results of the last two formulas are 16 and 26 respectively.
That's a little interesting.
So he continued to search the whole room. After confirming that he didn't find any more tips, he began to think about the meaning of these numbers.
Of course, the flashlight was turned off by him. There are no possible dangerous tips and clues here. Therefore, he doesn't have to worry about being attacked in the dark. Moreover, he feels that the flashlight is not only useful on this floor. It's not long or short for 20 minutes. It's a tragedy if there is no electricity when the flashlight needs to be used at the next level.
Now an Yizhi has four numbers, 13, 17, 16 and 26.
The previous idea of inferring two numbers as one coordinate obviously doesn't hold up after seeing other formulas. There are only two XY axes in total, and there are four coordinates, which must be wrong.
Calm down and think about it. Order is also a big problem.
Even if the latter two numbers are not included, an Yizhi did not find any sequence prompt for the coordinates of the first two numbers. He did not know who is the X axis and who is the Y axis. There are two floor tiles marked with only two numbers as coordinates, not to mention four.
There are 24 kinds of arrangement of four numbers!
You know, there are only 50 floor tiles in the room, which is almost half!
Do you want to mark all the positions that may be arranged in coordinates? Maybe you can see the difference?
This is indeed an idea, but we should also consider some other things.
For example, time, more specifically, is the power of flashlight.
It took less than 10 minutes for an Yizhi to wander around the room. If the positions of the digital intersections were marked out, even if an Yizhi was smart, it could not be simulated only with his brain. Therefore, he had to do it himself. Lighting is naturally necessary.
But in this way, it will consume a large amount of electricity from the flashlight, which is a gamble.
Although there is a marker as a hint to facilitate the player to write something, it is not said that if you do so, you can certainly see the clue, and there is no guarantee. Combined with the routines of many puzzle solving games, the power of the flashlight is likely to continue to be used in the next level. At that time, even if he passes the first level, his eyes will be black in the second level.
It doesn't matter if the combat effectiveness is not limited. Anyway, he has three lighting spells: Dance light, light and magic light. The role of flashlight is optional.
But obviously, there is no if.
In addition, in terms of efficiency, marking all intersections is not reliable.
An Yizhi's exploration speed is already fast, the purpose is very clear, and it doesn't take much time to solve the problem. Even so, it takes less than 10 minutes to mark the floor tiles, and the flashlight time is obviously not enough.
The four figures kept turning around in his mind, and seemed to be confusing his brain. He just had to make complaints about the puzzles, and at this point he had to brow his eyebrows and think hard.
