Chapter 395 Easter Egg

“Oh, you people are playing this game…”

The checked baggage from first-class were the first to come rolling out on the conveyor belt, which was why Ponytail returned to them reasonably quickly . He saw Zhang Heng holding the game console in his hand and smiled . “This is a traditional game of 01 . What is our highest score again?” he asked .

“697216 points,” Little Boy spelled out the numbers sternly, “Philip won it . This is not fair . He’s a piano player, and his fingers can surely move faster than ordinary people . My best score is very close to him, though . ” “I can’t do it anymore . I keep comin in last . The speed of my fingers and eyesight are not my forte,” Ponytail said, “My best record is only 200,000 points, but fortunately, I have Semiprime with me . Luke has played piano before as well . He might be able to challenge Philip’s score . ”

Little Boy did not say anything to bring Zhang Heng down this time, afraid that the mysterious knife would find itself under her neck again . Judging by her less-than-satisfied expression, she obviously disagreed with that statement .

To kill time, Zhang Heng had also played Tetris before when he was a kid . During the first round, Zhang Heng lost really fast . Lasting less than ten seconds, he only got himself 100 points .

However, with the help of this losing round, he started to familiarize himself with the buttons and rules . He performed much better in the second round-although lasting only 20 seconds, he got a total of 3,000 points . The score had Little Boy raising her eyebrows . Even though she didn’t like Zhang Heng, she had to admit that his results were impressive for a newcomer .

The members of 01 were good enough to compete with each other, and most of them could achieve a high score in the game . When they first started playing it, they were also confused by the game’s mechanics .

However, Zhang Heng was not satisfied with this result . His hand-eye coordination was not recognized as a skill by the system—the reason why it was not displayed on the skill panel — but it was thoroughly put through its paces and had improved greatly during the LEGO quest .

During that perioid, his speed of assembling bricks had reached an astonishing level . He now knew all the LEGO parts by feel, and could assemble simple objects with his eyes closed . The Tetris blocks, on the other hand, began to drop faster as the level increasedsimilar to LEGO, once familiar with the game, mastering it wouldn’t be too difficult . So just ten minutes later, Zhang Heng, who had only played only six games of Tetris, had a score tied to Ponytail . Zhang Heng used the most common method employed by Tetris masters

-he first stacked the blocks high enough, before clearing them all in one go . With that, he would be able to garner the highest score possible . This method greatly tested one’s speed, eyesight, and mental state .

To make matters worse, Zhang Heng’s ears were continually bombarded by system prompts as he was playing .

(Achieved 600,000 points on Tetris’s highest difficulty: +20 game points . Visit your character panel to learn more…]

Zhang Heng did not expect to earn a whopping 143 game points in 20 minutes . It would have taken him at least a year in a quest to earn that many .

The reason why he borrowed the game console from the Little Boy was that his dexterity had reached an impasse when he practiced assembling LEGO . After observing the methods employed by other builders, he wanted to try it to see if it worked . Unexpectedly, he found a hidden Easter egg .

It would be hard for someone to believe that such a huge reward was hidden within a rudimentary Tetris game . This seemed to have once again confirmed the system’s peculiar reward system, something that was way beyond what an ordinary person would guess .

Zhang Heng stopped playing as the car arrived . According to his previous points, if he wanted to achieve a new high score, he had to play until he got 8 million points . It wasn’t a good time for him to do so, and he still had a lot of time for breaking records . Zhang Heng intended to practice a little bit more, challenging the highest score with 999999 points to see what kind of reward the winner would receive .

Little Boy took the game console back, but had no idea what to say about it .

After everyone got in the car, she could hold back no more . “You…how did you do it?” she asked softly .

“I practiced with LEGO,” replied Zhang Heng, having no intention to hide the method he used .

Little Boy raised her eyebrows . It was no secret that Zhang Heng carried LEGO bricks with him all the time; hence the answer made perfect sense .

Later, Zhang Heng gave her an impressive demonstration of how to assemble a panda in one minute . Of course, he didn’t use his Infinite Building Block . Little Boy was greatly moved by Zhang Heng’s demonstration, and judging by her fascinated looks; she planned to go to a LEGO store to get her own set of bricks .

“Let’s get to the hotel first, and then I will assign tasks to everyone . We need to choose a good time to execute the plan, and we will also evacuate immediately once we got what we came for . When that happens, I will book an air ticket for Leah . We also have to travel on the highway . Lastly, the team funds are now being managed by Semiprime . You can all ask him for the equipment and tools you need . ”

After that, Ponytail turned to look at Zhang Heng, “Do you need anything else?” .

“I can handle myself,” Zhang Heng said .

His Infinite Building Block was enough to deal with most situations . Hence, to prevent others from suspecting him, he chose to do the remainder of the preparations by himself .

Ponytail nodded in reply .

As soon as they were done talking, everyone saw a red Ford overtaking them before abruptly slowing down with malicious intent . Semiprime, who was at the wheel, gasped in shock . Subconsciously, he tried to change lanes, only to find the steering being firmly held by someone’s hand .

As if that wasn’t enough, Semiprime realized a Citroen pulling up to their side at high-speed, drawing very close to their car . If he had changed lanes just now, his Renault would have collided with it .

The sly Ford ahead of them abruptly braked again, its rear lamps lighting up for a split second before it accelerated once more . “What is going on? Are these people from Black Nest? They have found us… how is this possible?!” Philip groaned in horror and distress .

“It’s possible that they are Black Nest, but they are not targeting us,” said Zhang Heng as he returned control of the steering wheel to Semiprime . While he spoke, the Citroen continued to speed up, chasing the red Ford .

A thrilling pursuit on the highway had begun, courtesy of the two cars .

“It seems that we are not the only ones who are eyeing Leah,” Zhang Heng said . He was mentally prepared for a situation like this, playing competitive single-player mode after all . It was about time he ran into other players .
