While the two were talking, the others in Poker also brought up Lin Yi’s matter.
"Song, you’ve had more interactions with him. What do you think?" Ace of Spades asked.
"My opinion doesn’t represent yours. You should evaluate for yourselves."
Song Jinmin said nonchalantly as he ate.
In this godforsaken place, not even being able to smoke, eating has no flavor.
"I think discussing this is aningless. Even if one day the boss is gone, he doesn’t have the ability to take over," Plant K said, "
S-Class isn’t sothing you achieve just by talking."
"Strength is one aspect, but there are other standards," Diamond Q said, "
But discussing this now might be a bit redundant. Who knows, the boss might have other plans."
"That’s possible," Red Heart King said, "
But at this point, let’s think about sothing useful. If the Stone Gate can’t be opened, this discovery will be aningless."
"We’ve been studying this for many days, and it’s not easy to co up with a solution in a short ti," Queen of Hearts said, "
We’ll have to see if the boss’s son can think of a way. I’ve heard he’s a very smart person."
"Don’t pin your hopes on a young man. Be prepared for disappointnt."
The Poker team discussed widely, while Song Jinmin quietly ate his food.
For him, such discussions weren’t beneficial for Poker.
For explorers, thinking about such miscellaneous things can affect their mobility.
"He’s back!"
The people from Fla Dragon exclaid, drawing the attention of both teams.
They saw Lin Yi and Moon walking towards them.
"How was it? Did you encounter any danger along the way?"
No matter how adventurous Lin Jingzhan is, seeing his son, he would feel a strange emotion.
"With her here, even if there was danger, it wouldn’t affect ," Lin Yi said, looking at Moon.
Lin Jingzhan nodded, "Rest up. We’ll move in an hour. Any issues?"
"No need. Let’s start now. No need to waste ti," Lin Yi said, "
I’ll change into my protective suit first."
Lin Jingzhan nodded, and everyone got up without needing a call, beginning to organize their gear.
"Ace of Spades, have your people stand guard on the periter."
"Yes!"
Under Lin Jingzhan’s command, the Poker team was geared up, ready to re-enter the ruins.
On the other side, under Jiang Zhengnan’s orders, the Fla Dragon team likewise prepared.
About half an hour later, both groups were ready, and Lin Yi stepped forward first.
At this very mont, the Land of White Bones in the photos was tangibly before them.
This real sight was more overwhelming than imagined.
For a mont, images flashed in Lin Yi’s mind.
Countless creatures, drawn by so force, ca here.
But what they didn’t know was that it was truly a land of death.
Stepping down, the weathered bones crumbled to powder underfoot.
Step by step, like a celestial pathway coronating an emperor.
The road of bones wasn’t long, just over twenty ters.
Once inside the cave, the white bones gradually disappeared, and the path smoothed out.
About half an hour later, the massive Stone Gate erged before Lin Yi under the searchlight.
Though seen before in photos, in person it was more awe-inspiring.
The engravings and symbols seed to possess a certain magic, capturing one’s gaze, causing vertigo.
"We’ve thought for days without a clue. It’s all on you now," Jiang Zhengnan said.
"I’ll give it a try."
Lin Yi didn’t rush but stepped forward toward the Stone Gate.
Though the gate was large, Lin Yi had seen bigger, grander gates in daily life.
Standing there now, he felt unusually small.
Like a grain of sand in the desert, a drop of water in the ocean.
In the endless years, like dust.
Gently, Lin Yi reached out to touch the Stone Gate.
A faint, indiscernible chill ca through.
It was precisely at this touch that Lin Yi felt a magical sense of dreaming through millennia.
A figure seed to wave to him from the endless river of ti.
Montarily at a loss, Lin Yi was sowhat disoriented.
This seed unlike an ordinary stone gate, as if connecting two worlds.
Glimpsing part to understand the whole.
Lin Yi had a bizarre premonition; opening this Stone Gate might reveal the true life of Tilia Island’s natives.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
"Does anyone have a marker?"
Hmm?
Lin Yi’s words felt abrupt to everyone.
Sowhat out of place.
"A marker?"
"Anything works as long as it can make marks."
"I have face paint. We can try that."
Jiang Zhengnan then took out face paint from his bag, used for camouflage in jungle warfare.
"Brother Nan, have soone mark the stones in order."
No one questioned why; Jiang Zhengnan handed the face paint to others, who began marking numbers as instructed by Lin Yi.
The gate stood over three ters tall; reaching the top stones ant one person standing on another’s shoulders.
"You got an idea, or just hoping to get lucky?" Song Jinmin asked.
"I have a theory, but it’s unverified. Need to try it."
Song Jinmin stroked his chin.
He was a bit surprised, not what he expected.
A few minutes later, all 99 stones were marked with numbers.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Lin Yi, waiting for his next instructions.
Lin Yi stood silently.
Previously, through countless comparisons, he found the designs on the stones sowhat resembled his first Professional Badge.
Now it was ti to test his hypothesis.
"Move block 36 to the position of block 1."
Song Jinmin gestured to his subordinates, who followed Lin Yi’s direction to shift block 36 to block 1.
During the move, Lin Yi noticed the reality matched his expectations.
It was just like a jigsaw puzzle.
Lin Yi inwardly sighed, unsure what to say.
For today’s ga developers, such a ga would take only a few lines of code, an hour or two to complete.
Yet, eons ago, the natives of Tilia Island devised these.
The awe it inspired rivaled seeing computers in the age of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
If soone wasn’t moved by this, sothing was wrong with their mind.
