"Based on what I've gathered, it should be a large-scale anomaly."
Yuan Qingqing said this.
Ignoring the surprised gazes of others, she continued as if talking to herself, extending the topic.
"That's right, I couldn't possibly be mistaken. It's clearly a large-scale anomaly."
"Large-scale anomalies like this have essentially become anomaly fields in the outside world, but here, it maintains an exceptionally special form."
"It appears in the form of a house, yet it retains a part of its spirit within, even actively engaging in bartering."
The large-scale anomaly Yuan Qingqing mentioned piqued everyone's interest to some extent.
Could such anomalies exist?
The fact was, such anomalies did exist.
However, there was another problem.
"Setting aside the anomaly's stance, whether it's good or evil, if this place completely disorients our direction, how will we find it?" Qin Nanyuan posed a rather pointed question.
A good question.
But…
"Of course, there's a way to find it, because its existence is precisely for others to find it."
Yuan Qingqing stated with certainty.
"You mean…"
Jun Ci spoke up at this moment, looking at Yuan Qingqing with a hint of probing in his eyes.
Yuan Qingqing, however, paid it no mind, calmly nodding and directly affirming the guess Jun Ci had not yet voiced.
"That's right, it's the legend you know."
"As long as you chant 'Magic Cube House' three times aloud, you will know its location and reach it with the utmost speed."
It was a somewhat absurd method of navigation.
Yet, Yuan Qingqing's eyes conveyed unwavering conviction.
Duan Chen felt something was amiss.
He suddenly grasped a critical point: "Is it that we reach the Magic Cube House with the fastest speed, or does the Magic Cube House reach us with the fastest speed?"
This was a very good question.
However, Yuan Qingqing could not answer it.
She opened her mouth in astonishment, staring blankly at Duan Chen, clearly not expecting him to ask such a question, which left her momentarily speechless.
Jun Ci stroked his chin and chimed in.
"By inertia and logic, it should be the Magic Cube House reaching us with the fastest speed."
Duan Chen's heart sank slightly.
Was it an anomaly of the 'hear and it appears' kind?
They had already mentioned "Magic Cube House" so many times, yet it hadn't appeared. Was it because the prerequisite of saying it three times hadn't been met, or was it waiting in standby, ready to act the moment they finished the third utterance?
All these questions remained unknown.
It seemed they could only explore it themselves.
But…
Did they really have to enter the body of a large-scale anomaly?
…
"I finally understand what you humans mean by 'just out of the wolf's jaws and into the tiger's mouth.'"
The Outlined Monster sat leisurely in a chair, holding a cup of coffee. He appeared to be sipping it slowly, but his entire attention was focused on the projected television screen before him.
Wu Suowei held the game controller connected to the television, pressing the buttons with a clatter.
The Outlined Monster's face darkened slightly.
He reprimanded, "Can you stop playing games here? If you want to play, go outside!"
After all the trouble he went to get a projection television, Wu Suowei had directly projected his game, forcing him to watch Duan Chen and the others' progress in a small corner.
Wu Suowei merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned his gaze back, shaking his head dismissively.
"You think they've just escaped the wolves and entered the tiger's mouth, but have you considered the danger of what they are about to encounter? For them, perhaps there is no such thing as 'one' or 'two'!"
"How is that possible!?"
The Outlined Monster reflexively retorted. After the retort, his emotions became slightly agitated, and he quickly reined them in, looking at the god who only played games with a cold smile.
"I know you're trying to provoke me into anger with a psychological tactic, but I'm telling you, it's useless. No one understands the Magic Cube House better than I do."
A cruel, schadenfreude-filled curve appeared on his lips.
"I'd like to see what kind of cold reception this 'pawn' you think so highly of will receive before my Magic Cube House."
Wu Suowei continued to play his game indifferently.
He would only leave the divine hall when Duan Chen returned from the secret realm.
In the meantime, he had been accumulating his power, which was precisely why he now occupied about nine-tenths of the television screen, yet the Outlined Monster dared not show his anger.
Duan Chen had given him too many pleasant surprises, so he was willing to bet on him again and again.
This world-line's Duan Chen was the one he could see through the least, but also the one with the most unpredictable future, containing immense possibilities.
Thinking of those impossible possibilities, a flicker of darkness flashed in Wu Suowei's eyes.
…
Duan Chen, who carried such heavy expectations, was currently unaware.
Tentatively, he opened his mouth along with the others.
"Magic Cube House."
"Magic Cube House."
"Magic Cube House."
As the three voices fell, what appeared before them was a shape resembling a cube, standing squarely on the ground. It was a six-sided polyhedron with six different colored faces.
This cube was similar in shape and size to a human house, but it was outrageously large. Standing before this structure, they looked like tiny ants.
Duan Chen's breath hitched for a moment.
Even Yuan Qingqing had not expected the Magic Cube House to possess such a colossal volume.
But she was also excited by the confirmation of her inner thoughts.
Yuan Qingqing impatiently pointed to the building before them.
"This is what I told you about, the Magic Cube House! As long as we can find a way to make a trade inside the Magic Cube House, we can obtain items we truly desire, items we wholeheartedly want."
It sounded even more ominous.
Truly worthy of being an anomaly.
Just as Duan Chen was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Hill, beside him, was behaving strangely.
He immediately reached out and grabbed Hill's arm, who was about to rush in, and asked with a serious tone.
"What are you doing? How are you feeling?"
Hill exerted great effort to control himself, his breathing gradually calming as he told Duan Chen, his voice trembling with excitement.
"I feel it! Inside this Magic Cube House, there are things that interest me as much as the zoo!"
