Chapter 46 There are no good people in this place

Wu Rui was also reading the rules and instructions carefully at this time.

"It seems that it is just as Wang Li said. The challenge of making mooncakes depends entirely on the taste and preference of the evil ghost. As long as we know this in advance, we can basically pass it 100% of the time."

She was a little excited.

She can also participate in this challenge. In fact, as long as she knows the evil ghost's taste in advance, it is basically a free [Memory] card.

"Luo Xi, how about I try it first, just in case there is any problem."

Wu Rui pulled Luo Xi and whispered.

"Wait a moment." Luo Xi winked at Wu Rui.

The latter immediately understood and kept silent.

At this time, Wang Li also came over and pulled the two of them and said, "You two, just trust me on this matter. It's correct. When you go to challenge it later, you can directly ask the evil ghost. The other party will say, 'Mooncakes on the 15th are the most delicious.' This refers to the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we have to eat mooncakes."

"And if you look closely, you will find that this evil ghost is extremely thin, which means that it is actually a 'hungry ghost'. A starving ghost naturally likes food with high oil and sugar content, preferably meat filling, after all, it cannot live without meat."

"But mooncakes with meat filling, aren't they a bit strange?" Luo Xi asked.

"Hehe, this is the key to this challenge. Think about it, most mooncakes are sweet. But if it were that simple, wouldn't anyone be able to succeed in this challenge? So, the real answer is salty mooncakes. Dried meat and salted egg yolks are a must. Also, green and red silk is not allowed. No one likes it."

"Really?"

"Don't worry, that's it. You two can go challenge together later. It will be more efficient this way."

Wu Rui said at this time: "Brother Wang, can you really not continue to challenge this project?"

"Didn't I just say that this project does not allow people who have successfully challenged the memory to challenge again? If you don't believe me, you can go ask the evil ghost. You should know that they can't lie about the rules."

Wang Li looked angry, as if he was met with suspicion for his sincerity.

Wu Rui actually went to ask.

The evil ghost's answer was the same as what Wang Li said.

"Those who have successfully completed the challenge cannot continue to challenge this project!"

The hungry ghost seemed exhausted.

I guess it's because I'm hungry.

"Then, can the one who has successfully challenged the Memory Retrieval tell other Memory Retrieval Venues what he knows?" Wu Rui asked another question.

"I can't control this." The hungry ghost's answer was also very direct.

Wu Rui glanced at Luo Xi at this time.

Obviously, everything Wang Li said so far seemed to be true. The other party had indeed challenged this project and knew some "inside information", and the hungry ghost had no way to interfere with whether the other party would tell other people about the project information.

"Forget it. If you don't believe me, don't challenge me. Damn, I am just being sentimental. I was wrong to give my true heart to someone else. It's hard to be a good person these days. Old Zhu, don't you think I would care about so many trivial matters if I knew earlier? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"

Wang Li seemed to have suffered a great injustice at this time. He cursed and was very angry, complaining to the dull Zhu Zifeng over there.

The latter could only smile awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

"Brother Wang, that's not what we meant. Don't think too much." Seeing that the other party was getting excited, Wu Rui could only say a few nice words, but she became more and more certain that there was something wrong.

the reason is simple.

Luo Xi just winked at her.

This was the most direct evidence for her. If Luo Xi thought that there was no problem with the other party, she would definitely not secretly wink at her.

"That's not what you meant? But you are clearly doubting me and thinking I have bad intentions. Forget it, if you don't want to challenge me, then forget it. I'll just assume I was blind to treat you as my friends." Wang Li's face turned red with anger.

Wu Rui was in a dilemma. She didn't know what to do now and looked at Luo Xi for help.

Luo Xi, who had remained silent since seeing the hungry ghost and the various materials and rules on the table, walked over and sat on the chair in front of the mooncake table.

"Little boy, what's your name?" Luo Xi asked.

This sentence not only stunned the starving ghost on the opposite side, but also Wu Rui, Wang Li and even Zhu Zifeng, who had never spoken much, were all surprised.

kid?
Which eye of yours could tell that the starving ghost was a child?
"My name is wrong. What you ask has nothing to do with the challenge. Then do you want to challenge my mooncake-making game?" The starving ghost reacted and asked angrily.

This made him look even more hideous and terrifying.

"Of course we have to challenge. Brother Wang has used so much effort to trick the two of us into coming here. If we don't give it a try, he will be very disappointed. Wu Rui, come on, let's do it together."

Luo Xi waved.

Wu Rui immediately walked over and sat on the small stool next to her.

"Well, let's start. The mooncakes on the 15th are the most delicious!" Sure enough, the other party said this, which was consistent with what Wang Li had just said.

Hearing this, Wang Li immediately asked, "Did you hear it? Is it the same as what I said? Did I lie?"

Luo Xi ignored the other party and pointed at the paper on the table and said, "Okay, now that we've started, let's get back to the point. This is not a question about making mooncakes, but a math problem, a number array problem."

"A math problem?" Wu Rui didn't react at first. Those were clearly the raw materials for making mooncakes, so how did it get to math problems?

"Filling some given numbers in a certain shape according to certain requirements or rules is called a number array diagram, sometimes referred to as a number array." Luo Xi pointed to the three-by-three grids on the paper: "Legend has it that four thousand years ago, the Luo River was flooded and Dayu went to control the flood. One day, a big turtle floated out of the river, carrying a book called "Luoshu". There was a strange pattern on the book. This picture is represented by the current numbers, that is, the nine numbers from 1 to 9, filled in nine grids, and the sum of the three numbers in each column, each row, and the two diagonals is 15. Mathematicians call it a "vertical and horizontal diagram" or "Nine Palace Diagram", and foreign countries call it a "magic cube" or "magic square"."

At this time, Luo Xi seemed to realize that what he said was a bit far-fetched.

So, he stopped immediately, coughed lightly, and continued, "Let's go back to the mooncake making. Look carefully. All the raw materials have been marked with numbers from 1 to 9. In other words, you have to choose 9 numbers. And coincidentally, the evil ghost said that he was very hungry and also said the key words 'mooncakes on the 15th are the most delicious', which seems to be related to the Mid-Autumn Festival on August th, but in fact, he said , that is, the number filled in the nine-square grid must conform to the rules of the number array."

"Fuck!" Wang Li's face over there was already extremely gloomy.

He reached out and touched his waist, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do anything.

Then he retreated without saying a word.

Zhu Zifeng looked at Luo Xi with interest, then left.

"Luo Xi, Wang Li and the others have left." Wu Rui had been keeping an eye on these two people.

"Are you not leaving? Are you going to stay and fight? His misleading plan has failed." After Luo Xi finished speaking, he took out nine kinds of materials at an extremely fast speed and arranged them. Among the nine materials, the green and red silk with the number 5 must be used.

The array of numbers is:

4 crushed peanuts -- 9 molds -- 2 milk powder
3 sesame oil --5 green and red silk --7 nuts
8 boiled water - 1 flour - 6 syrup
Wu Rui followed suit and set up one too.

The starving ghost sitting opposite now had an even more ferocious expression, but he looked like he was about to cry. No, he was already crying.

"Woo, woo, how could this happen? I lost again, what should I do now? I lost too many cards, I will be punished, maybe I will die today, ah, I don't want this!"

At this moment, the hungry ghost's tone really sounded like that of an elementary school student.

"Is he really a child?" Wu Rui was shocked.

"If you look closely, you'll find that this starving ghost likes to chew his nails, and he's wearing a phone watch on his wrist. Another thing is that his challenge game is so simple that only a child would come up with it!"

"what?"

Wu Rui didn't know how to respond for a moment.

This is too simple?

"Maybe it's because it's simple. As long as you understand the rules of the game, it is indeed equivalent to giving away cards. Therefore, Wang Li and the hungry ghost reached a cooperation, that is, he will solicit customers outside and mislead the rules at the same time." After Luo Xi finished speaking, the hungry ghost on the opposite side remained silent.

The other party obediently took out two [Memories] and handed them over reluctantly with an extremely painful expression.

But he still couldn't help asking, "How did you know? Did Wang Li tell you?"

Luo Xi did not answer the other party, which obviously made the starving ghost more anxious.

"I knew Wang Li was a liar. I wanted to kill him. I had to kill him."

Luo Xi didn't say anything, but continued making mooncakes.

He poured oil on the already cooked flour, kneaded the dough, then mixed the fillings, stuffed them in, pressed them with a mold, and then handed them to the starving ghost opposite.

"Eat it. Aren't you hungry?" Luo Xi looked at the other person and gently shook the mooncake he had just made in his hand.

The starving ghost was stunned for a long time before he poked his head out and opened his mouth. However, he seemed unable to get up and could only try his best to lean forward.

Luo Xi stuffed the mooncake into the other person's mouth.

The starving ghost started eating immediately, and then started crying again.

"It's delicious, so delicious. I haven't eaten anything like this for a long time."

Luo Xi watched the other person finish eating, then wiped his hands and stood up.

"Let's go."

"Oh!"

Wu Rui stood up quickly.

"My name is Yang Minghao!"

The voice of the starving ghost suddenly came from behind.
