Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 394 Beidou 7 Stars

The basement below is not large, just a room of about twenty square meters.

Because she fell from above, there were no windows or doors around, but the ventilation was obviously good. She had been down for about five minutes and didn't feel stuffy.

What surprised her, besides the dozen or so luminous pearls embedded in the wall, was a large box about one meter square in the middle of the room. But that wasn't the main thing. The main thing was that the box was made of pure gold and inlaid with all sorts of pearls and gemstones.

The light from the luminous pearl could blind a person.

Yunyi swallowed hard. Without even looking at the contents of the box, she knew this was another chance to make a fortune. The box alone must weigh dozens of kilograms, containing dozens of kilograms of gold and dozens of pearls and gemstones. What did that mean? It meant she was on the verge of getting rich.

Fortunately, some things had been distributed to the people of Beicheng beforehand, and there was still room in the small villa, more than enough to fit this golden box.

However, to Yunyi's surprise, she was unable to put the box into her spatial storage.

This shouldn't be the case. Anything that passes through her hands can be stored in her spatial storage. She's stored dozens of shipping containers in her spatial storage before.

However, the golden box remained completely still, as if it had grown onto the ground.

Yunyi circled the box once. She understood, after all, something so valuable would be inexcusable if it weren't for some kind of mechanism. But since she had been let in, shouldn't she at least be given some hints?

Where is this mechanism located?

"Boss, look at that wall over there, isn't there something there? Didn't you do a math problem when you rescued Mo Li last time? Maybe we need something here too."

Upon hearing Sixteen's reminder, Yunyi hurriedly went over and discovered that there was indeed a pattern on the wall, but it was no longer a math problem; instead, it was seven grooves connected by lines.

Isn't this shape just like the Big Dipper?

[Sixteen, you're actually still somewhat useful at a time like this.]

Sixteen felt a shiver run down her spine, realizing that her boss's ability to insult people—no, to insult the system—had increased again. If she weren't curious about how to crack it, she would have preferred to shut herself off.

Yunyi ignored Sixteen's lament and instead frowned at the seven grooves: "They're making me fill in the blanks, aren't they?"

[There are so many luminous pearls on the wall, why don't you give it a try?]

Yunyi scoffed: "What if we fail and release poison gas?"

This is the basement your mother built, with traps set up; it shouldn't harm you.

Yunyi's eyes lit up. This seemed to make sense. Let's give it a try.

There are ten luminous pearls embedded in the wall. He needs to select seven to place in the positions of the Big Dipper. However, he can't just place them randomly. There must be requirements. What are the requirements?

I started searching my mind for all the information about the Big Dipper, but none of it seemed to be right. In the end, I could only start with the simplest aspect.

Of the seven stars, Yuheng is the brightest. So, we searched for the brightest one in the luminous pearl. It was easy to find. We took it out and put it into the groove of Yuheng.

Then, a ding sound was heard, and the luminous pearl rotated in the groove. Then, the light seemed to become brighter. To Yunyi's surprise, the line extending from the left and right sides of the groove also seemed to light up.

"Hey boss, that's right!" Sixteen exclaimed excitedly. "You're so smart! It's based on brightness!"

Yunyi smiled, then went over and took the darkest one, inserting it into the groove of Tianquan Star.

The ding sounded again, and then the connection lit up.

Because Yuheng and Tianquan are adjacent, the line connecting the two stars lit up completely.

[If you don't have some astronomical knowledge, or a bad memory, you simply can't complete this task.] Yun Yi couldn't help but complain. [Even if the original owner of this body came, she probably wouldn't have been able to finish it.]

Yeah, this is pretty ridiculous, it feels like it was designed just for you.

Yunyi was taken aback. Sixteen's words made her heart skip a beat. It seemed that this was indeed the case, but why? Did Qi Miao'er know that her daughter would have her soul replaced?

That would be incredible.

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it for now. Go back and pick up the brightest of the remaining luminous pearls and put it into the groove of Yao Guang, then Tian Shu, Kai Yang...

After all seven beads were inserted and the box made seven clinking sounds, the entire wall seemed to light up. Then, a clicking sound was heard from under the golden box, as if something had been opened.

Yunyi pushed it and found that the gold box wobbled slightly, no longer as still as before.

"Boss, let's open it and see what's inside." Sixteen was quite excited.

Yunyi thought it was fine, but then she noticed that there was no lock on the box, only two grooves on the lid, one round and the other with a small fish-shaped groove in the middle.

"Hey boss, hurry up and find the key! It must be in this basement!" Sixteen yelled.

Yunyi didn't look for them. Instead, she stared at the two grooves for a while before taking out the black bracelet and jade pendant that the original owner had been carrying from her spatial storage.

After being placed into the two grooves, they fit perfectly.

Then there was a click, and the lid of the golden box opened automatically.

Yunyi lifted the lid, and to her surprise, the gold box did not contain gold and silver jewelry, but a brown paper package with an envelope on top of it.

Pick up the envelope; it reads "To Yunyi".

This really was prepared for her.

He picked up the envelope, opened it, and took out the letter inside. It was a letter Qi Miao'er left for her daughter, or rather, for her. After glancing at it, he felt very complicated because the letter was too long. So, he decided to go back and read it carefully right away.

[Boss, what does the letter say?] Sixteen was extremely curious. In the past, she could know anything that her boss memorized, but now she no longer had that ability. She could only know if her boss told her to.

Yunyi hesitated for a moment, then released Sixteen's senses.

"My God!" Sixteen exclaimed. "This is unbelievable!"

Yunyi put the box into her spatial storage, and she didn't even spare the luminous pearls on the wall, prying them all off.

The moment the light went completely dark, a soft click came from above, and the floor tiles that had been closed opened again.

Yunyi leaped out of the basement, then returned to her original state. She didn't bother to go anywhere else to grab anything and left the Earl's Mansion directly, returning to Datong Hutong.

(Fun fact: The Big Dipper, from brightest to dimmest, is arranged as follows: Alioth, Alkaid, Dubhe, Mizar, Merak, Phecda, Megrez)
