dark fire

() What appeared in front of Li Huo this time was still a large hall.

However, the hall this time is different from the last one. This time the hall is wider and more solemn, and the atmosphere in the entire hall is quite dignified at this time.

Li Huo was wearing a weird official uniform, standing in the hall.

It turns out that this time, Li Huo is now an official of a virtual empire. This empire is very powerful. It conquered all over the world and destroyed many surrounding countries that were unwilling to surrender.

There was a lord of a small country who had surrendered, and was unwilling to do so, so he asked a wise man in his own country how to embarrass this emperor who liked to invade others.

The wise man gave him an idea, so the envoy of this small country, in the name of paying tribute, came to present the so-called treasures of their country.

The treasures sent by the envoys were three identical statues of gods made of gold.

The deity represented by this idol happened to be the deity that the emperor believed in.

His Majesty the Emperor was very happy now, he couldn't put it down looking at the three golden statues, and he was going to invite the statues into the inner courtyard of the palace for riri worship.

At this time, the envoy spoke. He said that the three golden statues looked exactly the same, but in fact, there were differences in the three golden statues. Among them, there was one statue that was the most valuable. In their small country, the king asked Many wise men have found out the most valuable statue, but they don't know that there are capable people in the empire who can find out which statue is the most valuable.

When the emperor heard it, you are a mere small country, and the empire only needs to send an army at will to destroy it. Even you all know that in a country as big as mine, it is impossible that no one knows which statue is the most valuable.

So, His Majesty asked the officials to try to find the most valuable statue.

The officials thought of many ways, and invited a jeweler to check, weigh and see that the workmanship was exactly the same.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor likes these three statues very much and cannot destroy them. On this basis, how can we distinguish which statue is the most valuable?

The envoy saw the impatient and frowning faces of these imperial officials, knowing that the method of the wise man in his country was about to take effect, and he was extremely proud.

"Great country, you guys who usually have five people and six people and show off your power, don't you even understand this little thing?"

His Majesty the Emperor saw these officials who boasted of their abilities to the sky on weekdays, but they couldn't be used at critical moments, he was annoyed and asked loudly.

However, no or no, almost all the officials lowered their proud heads and kept silent in the face of the emperor's questioning.

At the critical moment, Li Huo naturally needs to appear on the stage. This is the test of the trial. Rather than saying that a small country makes things difficult for a big country, it is better to say that it is the world rules that make things difficult for the tester.

Fortunately, Li Huo seemed to have seen this question before.

"Your Majesty, I am sure that I can tell which statue is the most valuable."

He stood up from the last row of officials and said loudly.

The whole hall was suddenly in an uproar.

All the officials turned their heads to look at Li Huo who had spoken, and then whispered to each other.

"Hey, Mr. xx, do you know this little official?"

"I don't know him. Judging by the logo on his clothes, he seems to be the lowest-ranking official. What does he do to be able to participate in the morning court?"

"Well, it seems that this person was summoned by His Majesty, so he can come to attend this morning court."

"He said he has a way, is it true? There are so many big figures here who are far above him in official positions, and they don't know how to distinguish them. Is he talking big?"

"Hehe, that's fine too, as long as he can't tell the difference, we just shirk all the responsibilities on him and let His Majesty's anger vent on him, and we just take the opportunity to get out of the shell, which is wonderful."

"Hey, boy, are you sure? This is not a fun thing to talk about. If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."

An elderly minister standing next to Li Huo grabbed Li Huo's sleeve and reminded him in a low and serious voice.

"Thank you for the reminder, old man, I have certainty."

Li Huo looked gratefully at the virtual old man. He was actually not sure, but he had to rush the ducks to the shelves. This is the test of the rules of the world. If he shrinks back and does not do it, he may also end in failure. .

"Your Majesty, I have a way to distinguish which statue is the most valuable."

Li Huo patted his sleeves alternately, walked out of the line, saluted, and said respectfully.

"Well, tell me your method."

The emperor took a deep look at Li Huo, and agreed to let Li Huo experiment.

Li Huo recalled the story he had seen, and asked the emperor to bestow three copper wires that were not thick but could be seen clearly.

Li Huo randomly took out one of the three copper wires and inserted it into the ear of the first idol. After the copper wire was inserted, it came out from the other ear.

Then Li Huo took another copper wire and inserted it into the ear of the second god statue. This time, the copper wire fell out of the god statue's mouth directly.

After the last copper wire was inserted into the ear of the third statue, the copper wire fell directly into the belly of the statue without any sound.

Li Huo said confidently: "Obviously, the third statue is the most valuable!"

The whole hall was extremely noisy, chaotic like a vegetable market, and various voices came and went, endlessly.

"Quiet!"

His Majesty the Emperor gave a loud shout, then turned his head to look at the envoy, and asked with his eyes if the envoy was correct.

The envoy's face was ashen and gloomy, everything was self-evident.

But he still wanted to struggle to the death.

"This lord is the most capable person in this country?"

His dry and hoarse voice made people feel sympathetic and sad.

"You are wrong. I am only an official with the lowest position in this country. Among all officials of the same level, my ability can only be regarded as one of the bottom, if not the last. In this country, more than My excellent people are really countless. The road is endless.”

Li Huo has no sympathy, he just wants to complete the task, and he doesn't have any pressure to do things that add salt to the wound.

"Congratulations to the testers, you have passed the third round of testing, and now we will enter the fourth round of testing."

The sound of the metal light ball sounded in due course.

After a flash of white light, Li Huo appeared in a new place again.

This time, Li Huo appeared in a strange place.

There are countless people here, and these people surround a large pool. The pool is not parallel to the people, but lower than the surrounding crowd by about one person's height.

The pond was filled with broth, and the rich meaty aroma emanated out, making the gluttons in Li Huo's stomach twitch.

However, each of these people was very haggard, with yellow and thin faces. One could tell at a glance that they hadn't eaten food for a long time, and their bodies were unhealthy due to hunger, so their complexions turned yellow and their bodies were thin.

Li Huo felt strange, there was such delicious food, but none of these people ate it, what was going on?Is there something wrong with these foods and cannot be eaten?

It wasn't until Li Huo questioned a young man who was moaning that he understood the truth of the matter.

This broth is edible, but the reason why these people don't eat it is because they can't reach the broth at all, there are no tools here, and the distance between the water surface of the pool and people is as high as a whole person , even if the crowd leaned in with their whole bodies, they were still a little short of reaching the outermost layer of broth.

Li Huo was amused in his heart, knowing that this is actually the setting of the rules of the world. Not to mention that there is no such thing in reality, normal people are not so stupid.

Unless these people have been selfish to an extreme degree, otherwise this problem is very easy to solve.

Everyone just needs to know how to help each other, and everyone can eat delicious broth.

Li Huo greeted the young man who had just asked, and the young man walked up to Li Huo suspiciously and asked him what he wanted.

"Go, I'll take you to eat these broths."

Li Huo grabbed the young man's arm and dragged him towards the broth pool.

The young man was very strange. How could this man say that I could eat these broths? No one could do anything about it. What could he think of?

However, since he hadn't eaten for a long time, his body was weak, and he had no strength to resist Li Huo's pulling, so he followed Li Huo to the side of the broth pool with some reluctance.

"Wait, don't panic, don't struggle wildly, I promise you will get food, don't you believe it?"

Li Huo said to the young man, wanting him to believe in him.

"Let me trust you, then you have to say what you're going to do."

How could young people somehow believe what a stranger said, even if the stranger was actually full of good intentions.

"Actually, the method is very simple, as long as I grab your legs and put you down upside down, won't you be able to reach the broth? When you are full, you will pull my legs , let me go down and eat the broth. Everyone can have the broth as long as they help each other."

When the young man heard it, he suddenly realized, and nodded again and again, expressing his belief in what Li Huo said.

So, the two helped each other and easily took turns to eat the delicious broth, and the people around them saw Li Huo's method and imitated them one after another. In the end, everyone ate the food happily.

Naturally, Li Huo, who had solved this test, also passed this round of trials.

"Congratulations to the testers for passing the fourth round of trials. Now we will enter the final round of trials. Please prepare for the testers."

The sound of the metal light ball made Li Huo feel inexplicably excited. Although the trialists did not spend too much time in reality because of the adjustment of the time ratio by the world rules, they did not spend too much time in this series of trials. In the middle, they really spent such a long time.

Now that he finally saw the last checkpoint, this trial was finally coming to an end, how could Li Huo not be excited.
