The Fabled Magnetic Cube Mechanics - II
Mizhi has gone missing, and someone has tampered with the Mechanics. Qingshu, Mizhi's senior, is very worried.
Quest List
Mizhi:
This is it.
Mizhi:
Solve the puzzles, and that block will disappear. Then I'll be able to enter.
Mizhi:
You see that suspended Magnetic Cube? Just move it into the right places.
Mizhi:
Simple, isn't it? You can do this. Give it a try.
Mizhi:
Impressive! Your technique and efficiency are just like those of an engineer who studies these mechanics for a living!
Mizhi:
If you can keep on solving them like this, the remaining two won't take much time.
Mizhi:
Puzzles solved faster than 99% of existing attempts... Rover, you're indeed the chosen!
Mizhi:
Oh, this puzzle records the challengers' ID. I just checked up from the backend.
Mizhi:
And I saw the playback of your actions. They were just... brilliant!
Mizhi:
If I wasn't so dying to enter the pit, I should sit right here and have a session with you about the design and solving of Magnetic Cube Mechanics.
Mizhi:
Anyway, thank you for the help. I'll send you the reward. Take some rest.
Mizhi:
When I find the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics, I'll call you in for the treasure.
Mizhi:
Just a little patience is all you need.
Mizhi:
Woah, you're are fast learner.
Mizhi:
Only one left. Let's get it done!
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
Magnetic Cube frequency... proton radius... spin quantum number... suspension dynamics...
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
I'm in the pursue of the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics... it's just I'm met with some bottleneck.
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
The ultimate Mechanics is calling me from inside the pit. It's so close, yet so unreachable...
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
Ha, can't you see I'm obstructed?
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
You see the block here? Someone locked the entrace with a puzzle.
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
Is this how far I, the great Mi'zhi can go?
Mizhi:
No, I will not stagnate on the path to the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics! And you, your presence here must be the turning point!
Mizhi:
Yes, you! The destined tide-turner!
Mizhi:
Why hesitate?
Mizhi:
If you can help me overcome this, you will be rewarded the access to treasure!
Mizhi:
Shiny, sparkly, authentic treasure!
Mizhi:
As you know, treasure means nothing to me. What only interests me is Magnetic Cube Mechanics.
Mizhi:
Refreshingly answered!
Mizhi:
All right that's the deal. Let's go, we'll see the puzzle.
Unknown Contact:
Hello, is this Rover?
Unknown Contact:
Hello, I'm Qingshu, an engineer on Magnetic Cube puzzles.
Qingshu:
Have you seen an unfathomable engineer recently?
Qingshu:
Yes yes. Mi'zhi indeed.
Qingshu:
He was due this morning, but I didn't meet him. And I went to the field only to find the puzzles cracked, and he was neither there.
Qingshu:
I ran down the challenge record of the puzzle and found your ID, so I called to ask. Hope I didn't bother you.
Qingshu:
What?! Can you be so kind as to come here yourself?
Qingshu:
I'm sorry for this sudden request, but I have no other choices.
Qingshu:
Thank you so much! You will have your proper compensation. I promise.
Qingshu:
Mi'zhi is gone... the puzzles are altered... what now, what now...
Qingshu:
Excuse me, you are Rover, right? You just said that Mi'zhi went into the pit?
Qingshu:
No way. That is an abandoned pit, and it's precisely because there was an accident.
Qingshu:
Since it's so dangerous in the pit, the authority had those blocks set up at the entrance. Those controlled by the puzzles that you saw.
Qingshu:
Originally, it was Mi'zhi and I who were responsible for the updates and maintenance of the puzzles. However, Mi'zhi developed a strange addction to the puzzles.
Qingshu:
He spent all his days studying the possibilities of the combination of puzzles and went through all our books and all the mechanisms.
Qingshu:
And all of a sudden, he started to talk about going down the pit, saying some ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics was there.
Qingshu:
I knew he would do anything for Magnetic Cube Mechanics, so I updated the puzzles with the ID recording function.
Qingshu:
My intention was that I would be alarmed as soon as he puts his hands on the puzzles, but I didn't know he would ask another person, that is you, to solve the puzzles. What a shame!
Qingshu:
Sigh, we should go to the pit right away to look for him, but the puzzles...
Qingshu:
Yes I did, and I did set up the puzzles for yesterday, but the puzzles were somehow updated today.
Qingshu:
And no records were left at the backend. How mysterious...
Qingshu:
Though it is just a combination of old mechanisms, it became so difficult...
Qingshu:
Actually, I saw the record you left yesterday, and I have to say your efficiency was really better than most engineers.
Qingshu:
So, could you please solve the puzzles for me? Now you are the only one I can turn to to find Mi'zhi.
Qingshu:
If you're unaware of some settings about the puzzles, I'll try and tell you as far as I know.
Qingshu:
Though I've seen this in the record, it still amazes me to see this in reality.
Qingshu:
I'm kind of shocked, really.
Qingshu:
Solving progress: 30%. There should be another 2 puzzles. Thank you.
Qingshu:
The difficulty of it... I wonder what got into the designer's mind.
Qingshu:
It was simply designed to embarrass! You handled it perfectly, though.
Qingshu:
The progress reached 60%! We should be finishing this soon.
Qingshu:
You solved such a difficult puzzle in such a short time?!
Qingshu:
That was awe-inspiring...
Qingshu:
The access is open, I should get going.
Qingshu:
Thank you. It would be a lie if I say I'm not afraid to go down this abandoned pit.
Qingshu:
It's just... there might be unknown dangers in here and I don't want to drag you in...
Qingshu:
Thank... thank you so much. It's so very kind of you...
Qingshu:
If you were to be held accountable, I will make sure the blame is all on me.
Qingshu:
Yes. Going down the abandoned pit without proper procedures is a punishable conduct. It could result in as serious as dismissal.
Qingshu:
Though you're not one of us, and you shouldn't be implicated, we can't know for sure, right?
Qingshu:
After all it's my matter. I can't get you in trouble.
Qingshu:
Anyway, I should give more thoughts about how to protect down in the pit...
Qingshu:
... Because the blame is something we talk about when we get out!
Qingshu:
Mi'zhi is gone... the puzzles are altered... what now, what now...
Qingshu:
So freezing... and a Ice Chrysalises?
Qingshu:
It looks strange... Isn't it quivering?
Qingshu:
Sorry, maybe I'm just too anxious and mistook something.
Qingshu:
Let's just break it and look inside.
Qingshu:
Mi'zhi, Mi'zhi!
Qingshu:
We have to take him to the infirmary now. I can't take him on my own. Give me a hand.
Qingshu:
Phew... we're finally here.
Qingshu:
Thank you so much for today. I just don't know how I could have handled this without you.
Qingshu:
It's been a long day. You should take some rest. I'll send you the reward.
Qingshu:
And I myself will wait here for Mi'zhi to wake up.
Mizhi:
Rover… Rover…
Qingshu:
Rover, Mi'zhi is awake now, and he's looking for you.
Mizhi:
Rover!
Mizhi:
I don't know how I could repay you. You solved the puzzles with ID recorded for me, and you saved from the pit...
Mizhi:
... And most importantly, you helped me find the ultimate Automatic Mechanics!
Mizhi:
Yes, you! Don't look around, it's just you.
Mizhi:
I went down the pit for the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics, but I was just almost frozen to death.
Mizhi:
The moment I entered it, the freezing air overwhelmed me, and a voice kept saying in my head that the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics was just hidden in the cold and that I should touch the air.
Mizhi:
And as soon as I touch the air, yowls started to crowd my mind... They sounded just like the hopeless wails human would make before dying.
Mizhi:
I saw those engineers before me in a trance... They were struggling desperately... and finally consumed by the cold.
Mizhi:
Looking back now, the voice calling me was maybe just a bait. Sigh... there wasn't any "ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics" down there.
Mizhi:
But when I was there and caught up in the moment, I found my retreat blocked. The Ice Chrysalises swarmed the exit.
Mizhi:
And when I lost conscious due to the frost, it was you, Rover, that crossed my mind.
Qingshu:
I read that the near-death experience could stimulate human's most instinctive desire.
Mizhi:
Cough. I've been desiring the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics all the time... ... But when I think of it now, it is just by my side!
Mizhi:
It's you, Rover! Whenever I think of your marvellous techniques, inspirations about Magnetic Cube Mechanics will spring out in my head.
Mizhi:
May I see that techniques again?
Mizhi:
Yes, now. I can't keep lying whenever I think of those techniques.
Qingshu:
Don't take this amiss, Rover. He's just the kind of person who couldn't even lie down and rest when there's something about Magnetic Cube Mechanics.
Mizhi:
Yes. I just thought of a few new mechanic combinations when I was resting. They are meant for you.
Mizhi:
Only your puzzle-solving brings me the most inspirations.
Mizhi:
Well done. Seems like you can use some more…
Mizhi:
The way you solved it... It amazed me still though I've watched this before.
Mizhi:
Oh... more inspiration...
Mizhi:
Perfect, so perfect...
Mizhi:
The timeing, the steps. You made that exact and fitted. A textbook solving.
Mizhi:
Right, why don't we just write that into a textbook? My Magnetic Cube Mechanics and your techniques.
Mizhi:
Only now Magnetic Cube Mechanics reached the ultimate.
Mizhi:
Only the Magnetic Cube Mechanics developed step by step by myself is so fulfilling.
Mizhi:
It's all thanks to you that I could have reached the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics.
Mizhi:
When that was discovered, all my pain was gone and all my worries fade away. I was so relieved it felt like I'm no longer sick. Thank you so much!
Mizhi:
Oh yes, I should thank Qingshu. If it weren't her who was always updating the puzzles and trying to stop me from entering the pit, I wouldn't have studied it so hard and progressed so dramatically.
Mizhi:
Yes, you're right...
Mizhi:
Yes... Got to thank Miss Qingshu.
Mizhi:
I've been in my head too much and thinking about Magnetic Cube Mechanics. My messing around has caused Miss Qingshu and Rover trouble.
Mizhi:
Now that I have developed such great Magnetic Cube Mechanics, I should stay put and refrain from causing trouble.
Mizhi:
I have saved some money privately, originally for the purpose of Magnetic Cube Mechanics studying, but now that Rover has helped me find the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics, you should have the money.
Mizhi:
That's the treasure I talked about. I'll send you the coordinates. Don't forget to collect it.
Mizhi:
And Miss Qingshu... What would you like? I don't know your favorites yet.
Qingshu:
I don't need anything. Your health means more than anything.
Mizhi:
……
Mizhi:
Then, I'll make up for it when we work together later.
Qingshu:
Rover, long time no see.
Mizhi:
Yes, we're both responsible for Magnetic Cube puzzles now.
Mizhi:
Miss Qingshu always does things carefully, and her techniques are also great. Working beside her I feel I'm even more lively.
Mizhi:
Why didn't I find these spotlights of hers before?
Mizhi:
Hee hee, you're right. To be honest, this is thanks to you too. Not only did you help me find the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics, but you made me discover that I had long lost sight of.
Mizhi:
Life is made of everything around you, not just work.
Mizhi:
Maybe it's because I have found the ultimate Magnetic Cube Mechanics and my life now is easy now that I say things that sound not so ambitious.
Mizhi:
Didn't know that I could be a person to say such things... Anyway, thank you.
Qingshu:
Thank you, Rover.
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
What is the impact of the Refining Tower shutdown on the frequency of the Magnetic Cube?
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
What is the principle behind it...?
He seems to be immersed in thought, so it's better not to disturb him for now.
He seems to be angry, so it's better not to talk to him for now.
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
It's so cold... being frozen will definitely affect the protons…
Rambling and Wandering Engineer:
I really don't know when these annoying things will end. Can the environment be normal so that I can study the Magnetic Cube Mechanics properly?
Mizhi:
Strike those Unordered Magnetic Cube not in place to move them to the next base on the direction of your strike.
Mizhi:
Take care of the obstacles, which can prevent Magnetic Cube from moving. You'll have to remove them first before trying to move the Magnetic Cube.
Mizhi:
A controller down there can move the obstacles. Use of them wisely.
Mizhi:
You see, some unstable obstacles can be destroyed.
Mizhi:
Identify them to progress even more!
Qingshu:
Some bases can be transported between two locations. The available locations are marked with holographic projection.
Qingshu:
Use that switch here to control the transport.
Qingshu:
Oh, please be noted that bases won't be transported when Magnetic Cube are on them because of magnetic force.
Mizhi:
See those halos on the bases? That's the lastest teleport system I developed!
Mizhi:
Whenever a Magnetic Cube is moved to the halos, it will be teleported to the marked locations.
Mizhi:
Take note, the marks are made with unique colors.
Qingshu:
Mi'zhi, you're lucky to be alive thanks to Rover. Never take such risks again.
Qingshu:
You made me afraid...
Mizhi:
Miss Qingshu, I promise I won't do that again.
Mizhi:
Because in my heart, there is something more important that Mechanics now...
Qingshu:
When did you learn that...
Mizhi:
I only knew what was truly meant for me after I nearly lost my life.
Mizhi:
The pursue for Magnetic Cube Mechanics is endless, but I shouldn't lose sight of the people beside me for that.
Mizhi:
You by my side, Miss Qingshu, and all these seemingly bland days. These are the real precious things. I learned that after I almost lost them.
Actor No. 2:

The ground is covered with broken rocks and gravel. The traces of digging spread across the broken rock wall, accompanying by trails of aged brown bloodstains. Faint glimmers cast their eyes through the crevices, throwing specks of light onto the saddened ground. Placing your hand on the rock wall, you exert a gentle force. With a thunderous roar, the rock wall gives way, releasing a gust of fresh air that rushes in, breathing new life into the train carriage once more.
