“Is there something inside that you feel you really need!?”
Everyone’s reaction was quite strong.
They didn’t expect to find any incredible treasures inside; rather, they feared a greater crisis.
After all, they had just experienced the incident at the zoo.
Hill couldn’t help but pout.
Her lips were pursed, puffed out like a soft, plump bun, looking particularly cute.
But she didn’t say much more.
After a period of thought, Yuan Qingqing spoke up.
“The danger of the Rubik’s Cube House should be far less than that of the zoo.”
Just then, Duan Chen suddenly spoke.
“I might have some ideas.”
His voice drew everyone’s attention.
Duan Chen stroked his chin and said.
“If we must classify, it can be divided into three levels.”
“Keter, Euclid, and Safe.”
His words introduced a completely new concept to others, and everyone listened intently as Duan Chen continued.
Duan Chen felt increasingly that what he was saying was fitting for the current situation.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“According to my concept, the zoo we just visited belongs to the Keter level, and the Rubik’s Cube House we are at now belongs to the Euclid level.”
“Euclid… can think or act independently, its behavior is often unpredictable, with multifaceted tendencies, but it is not a spontaneously aggressive anomalous entity that poses a significant threat to humans.”
“Safe, as the name suggests, is safe. It is similar to the spatial ring I have, as well as your spatial rings and other defensive items. It is an anomalous entity that can provide a certain degree of positive effect to humans.”
“As for Keter, it is clearly an entity that threatens humans, an extremely aggressive anomalous entity. This classification includes sea monsters and so on.”
Jun Ci’s eyes lit up.
He slapped his palm loudly.
“If you put it that way, the classification is indeed very detailed!”
Qin Nanyuan nodded in strong agreement.
However, she still felt some lingering worry about the Rubik’s Cube House before them.
“But right now, all of this is based on our speculation. Is the Rubik’s Cube House really Euclid level?”
This, of course, required more experimentation to prove.
Duan Chen reluctantly realized that their group had become guinea pigs.
But as things stood, there seemed to be no other choice.
They couldn’t just wait in the secret realm until more people gathered, and then go together when the secret realm opened, wasting so much time doing nothing inside, only to face malice from others outside.
Such a snail-like, ostrich-like approach was not Duan Chen’s style.
A look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Duan Chen said.
“I have my own thoughts about the Rubik’s Cube House being at the Euclid level.”
“Its presence and threat level are far less potent than what the zoo made me feel…”
“My sixth sense has always been very accurate.”
This could not convince everyone, but at least it provided them with some reassurance at this moment.
As things were, there was truly no other way.
Exchanging glances, Yuan Qingqing proactively said.
“This matter was my idea, so if that’s the case, why don’t I be the first to go in and explore…”
However, her words were immediately interrupted.
“No need.”
Duan Chen said directly, cutting off Yuan Qingqing’s idea.
“Since we came together, let’s go in together. That way, we won’t get separated, as the Rubik’s Cube House can move.”
Both the separation in the zoo and the separation in the secret realm had been extremely dangerous.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Qingqing abandoned her initial thought.
She nodded heavily, “I was wrong just now. Sorry, Captain, for making you worry.”
Of course, it was nothing.
Duan Chen shook his head, indicating he didn’t mind, and as the captain, he stepped forward, leading the way towards the Rubik’s Cube House, which stood silently not far from them.
The Rubik’s Cube House didn’t feel particularly out of place.
Its exterior resembled a Rubik’s Cube.
Its dimensions were approximately 2000 cubic feet.
On one side of the cube, an iron door seemed to have been forcefully embedded.
It was through this iron door that they could move between the interior and exterior of the cube.
The iron door looked rusty, completely different from the cyberpunk-style surface of the cube.
Duan Chen didn’t feel any significant threat from it. Even when he reached out, he felt no discomfort. He tentatively grasped the iron door of the Rubik’s Cube House.
Nothing happened.
He pulled the door open.
Still, nothing happened.
Duan Chen went in first, followed closely by the others. Nothing happened, as if they were truly being welcomed inside.
However, upon entering, it was not quite as they had imagined.
“This is the interior of the Rubik’s Cube House!?”
Yuan Qingqing had heard rumors before, but this was her first time here.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and she lost some of her composure, even exclaiming in disbelief.
“Why does it look so… rudimentary?”
Yes, it was simple and ugly in its simplicity.
The interior looked like a low-income housing unit, and not even a furnished one.
The decorations inside…
Duan Chen focused some attention on the decorations of the room.
Inside, there was a very simple-looking bed, approximately 1.5 meters by 1.8 meters.
It was a single bed.
Beside the bed was a rug, which looked like cashmere but of inferior quality.
There were two lamps, but neither was turned on, so the brightness of the light was unknown.
A television, a radio, and a beanbag chair… were casually placed. However, the television was not the latest flat-screen model, but a bulky device resembling a black and white television.
There was a very simple bookshelf hanging on the wall.
On the bookshelf were three books.
For safety, Duan Chen did not reach out to pick up the books, but simply by looking at the covers of the three books, which were placed haphazardly, he realized he could not recognize the characters on them.
On the floor carpet, a few children’s toys were scattered randomly. There were only five toys, and their appearances and styles were quite different, as if bought by five different people.
In the corner of the room was a very small potted plant, sitting alone in the corner, looking somewhat pathetic.
