Chapter 52: The Da Vinci Code
The two of them walked all the way to the mobile phone and computer specialty store without saying a word. When they were almost at the door, Wang Feifei regained her usual personality, but she didn't dare hold Qin Tian's arm again, afraid of repeating what had just happened.
Inside, it was found that an event is being held here, and today is the last day. As long as you spend more than 500 yuan shopping, you can participate in a challenge activity called "Da Vinci's Password". It gives you a string of irregular numbers, letters, and symbols, and gives you one minute to memorize them. Then you have to silently write them out again. If you get it right, you pass the level; if you make a mistake, you fail. The difficulty of each level increases in turn.
The rewards are very rich, and there are nine levels in total. Since it's the last day, the rewards for the first five levels have been taken away, leaving only the last four levels.
The reward for the sixth level is a 3000-yuan mobile phone, and the winner can choose to take the phone or exchange it for cash. It seems that the seller attaches great importance to this activity. The seventh level is a 5000-yuan laptop computer, and the eighth level is a 3000-yuan mobile phone plus a 5000-yuan computer.
The final round was even more terrifying, with anything worth less than 10,000 yuan up for grabs. If you didn't want the item, you could exchange it for cash, and on top of that, you'd receive an additional 100,000 yuan in cash, making the total reward worth 110,000 yuan. To be honest, Qin Tian's heart skipped a beat when he saw this reward - his computer configuration was a bit outdated, so this was a great opportunity to upgrade to a better one.
Wang Feifei also found this interesting, she had always been confident in her memory, so she didn't haggle with Qin Tian either. She casually picked up a cute-looking phone worth 1,000 yuan and went to the front desk to pay. This was already the cheapest phone here, but unexpectedly, Qin Tian paid for it before her. Seeing Qin Tian's smug face, Wang Feifei gave him a cold look and ignored him. At this point, Wang Feifei had no psychological burden about spending Qin Tian's money.
After all, if you've already had that kind of thought, would you still care about a thousand or so yuan? Between the two of them, there's no need to split it so meticulously either.
The service staff at the front desk, upon hearing that Wang Fei was going to take a challenge, led them to a small house next door. The walls of this small house were all made of transparent glass, allowing people to see the situation inside at a glance. Inside, there was only one computer placed in isolation.
The service staff said to Wang Feifei, "Since you spent 1,000 yuan, you can participate in two activities. You can also let this gentleman participate, but the first five rounds have no rewards. If you want to get a reward, it can only be from the last four rounds. Do you want to start?"
Wang Fei took a deep breath, gave herself a boost, and said: "Let's start."
The waiter had Wang Feifei go over to the computer and click on the "Start" button before retreating to one side.
At this time, 13 irregular numbers appeared on the computer screen, with the same length as the mobile phone number. The computer gave Wang Feifei one minute to respond, and a small hourglass was counting down in the corner next to the numbers, with a "Start Answering" button below.
Wang Feifei only looked at it for a dozen seconds, and she completely memorized it. She clicked the button to start answering, and that string of numbers disappeared, leaving only a blank input box.
Without thinking, 13 digits were quickly entered and lightly clicked Enter.
At this time, a line of large characters appeared on the screen, "Congratulations on passing the level" with two options below, "Continue" and "Exit".
Wang Fei clicked "Continue", her goal was that more than 3,000 yuan phone, how far is it now.
The second level was 20 irregular numbers, which Wang Feifei finished in just over ten seconds. The third level was 30 numbers, which Wang Feifei completed in just over twenty seconds. The first three levels did not cause too much difficulty for Wang Feifei, and she passed them easily.
By the time she reached the fourth level, 50 irregular numbers appeared, mixed with some letters. Wang Feifei was slightly serious this time, but it only took her thirty seconds to pass.
At this time, the service staff next to her looked at Wang Feifei with some surprise. She did not expect that the gentle and beautiful girl in front of her would have such a high IQ. The first three levels were known for being able to stump 90% of people in the world, but she had passed them easily. For a moment, she felt a little jealous, thinking that heaven was too good to her, giving her not only a beautiful appearance but also such a high IQ.
Just as the waiter was getting jealous, Wang Feifei had already passed the fifth level. This time, Wang Feifei felt a bit struggling, with 65 irregular numbers appearing at once, including not only some letters but also symbols. Wang Feifei didn't type those numbers until the time was almost up, and she could hardly remember the last few ones.
This appeared on the screen again, the words "level cleared", but this time Wang Feifei didn't immediately click start, she took a few deep breaths and relaxed her slightly fatigued brain before starting to clear the level.
At this time, the waiter had no time to be jealous, and was staring at Wang Feifei in surprise. The waiters outside also couldn't care about discipline, and were surrounding the glass window, curiously looking inside. Even the manager was shocked, and hurriedly came out of his office, wanting to see what kind of person could pass through the five passes.
The manager was a woman in her thirties, with a refined face. When she arrived, she found that Wang Feifei had already reached the sixth level and did not disturb her, quietly standing behind Wang Feifei, waiting for the result.
Wang Feifei hadn't noticed that there was an extra person in the room, her mind was completely focused on the string of characters, trying hard to memorize them. When the time was up, Wang Feifei didn't immediately input the numbers, instead she recalled them in her mind and found that several digits were already blurry. Wang Feifei slowly inputted those blurry digits, thinking for a while before hesitantly typing them out.
Finally pressed enter heavily and waited nervously for the computer's result, while the waiters around also held their breaths, expecting the final outcome to appear.
After a few seconds, the result finally came out. Seeing the bright red "Success" on the screen, Wang Feifei cheered and looked at Qin Tian with a proud face, waiting for his praise.
Qin Tian smiled and gave a thumbs up to Wang Feifei, who laughed even more brightly at the gesture.
"Hello, madam. I'm the manager here. You've won a 3,000 yuan mobile phone. Would you like to take the phone or the cash? By the way, are you going to continue with the challenge?"
At this time, the manager standing beside her spoke up, she also didn't think that Wang Feifei could actually pass the sixth level.
"Never mind, I'm not coming. I feel like I've reached my limit. If I go any further, I'll definitely lose. What about the new phone I just bought?"
Wang Fei said she would no longer continue, remembering that she already had a mobile phone, and immediately asked the manager.
"This is easy to handle, you can return this mobile phone and exchange it for a mobile phone worth over 4,000 yuan, or you can return your money. What do you want to do?" The manager was very good at speaking and immediately offered two options to Wang Feifei.
"Well, in that case, cash it is." Wang Feifei made her decision quickly.
