Chapter 12 Hidden Rose

Xia Xiqing quickly calculated and understood immediately, but before he could speak, Zhou Ziheng, who was still looking at the computer page next to him, got there first.

“This is the number of four-leaf roses.”

Xia Xiqing crossed out the question mark on the draft with a pen and wrote a number at the end of the equal sign – 1634.

No, how did he do it?

“That’s right.” he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Ziheng with some surprise, “You knew it was the four-leaf rose number without even calculating it?” Didn’t he study physics and be so good at mental arithmetic?

Zhou Ziheng pointed at the computer, “Look at the roses on this page.”

Shang Sirui, who is naturally incompetent in calculations, has been following Zhou Ziheng to look at the computer page, and he also discovered the secret, “Oh! The roses here are all copied and pasted. They all have the same length and only have four leaves. I think it’s weird.” Soon, a puzzled expression appeared on he’s delicate face, “But… what is the four-leaf rose number?”

Xia Xiqing pointed to the formula on the draft paper, “This is written very clearly. You see, the four-digit number 1634, the 4th power of the number in each digit is added up to equal 1634 itself. This is the four-leaf rose number. In fact, it is the auto-exponentiation number of the four-digit number.”

Shang Sirui nodded as if he understood. Seeing that the two people already knew the type of number, he suddenly became happy, “Then the last two numbers are also four-leaf rose numbers, right? Can they be filled in now?”

This kid is too optimistic.Xia Xiqing felt a little headache. He subconsciously turned his pen and gave a straightforward negative answer, “I can’t.” After saying that, he stopped writing and looked at Zhou Ziheng, “Do you know which four-leaf rose numbers are among the four-digit numbers?”

Zhou Ziheng shook his head, “I only know there are three.”

He majored in physics, not mathematics.Probably only mathematicians who are too busy to study numbers every day know this.

Who has nothing to write down this? Xia Xiqing sighed. Whenever he encountered something like this that required patience, he became very restless, tapping the pen tip on the paper, “So what should we do now? Exhaust?”

“Will the exhaustion last until the end of this season?” Zhou Ziheng rudely laughed at himself, “The violent solution method will not work at this time.”

“What kind of exhaustive and violent solution?” Shang Sirui looked confused and rubbed his cheeks frantically, “What kind of fairy dialogue are you all having? Why can’t I understand a word of it even though it’s all in Chinese?”

Xia Xiqing laughed and tucked his long forehead behind his ears, “Anyway, it’s almost impossible to calculate this by hand, so it doesn’t matter whether you understand or not.”

“If I knew how much effort it would take to be on this show, my agent would have turned it down a long time ago, hahaha.” Shang Sirui has a very familiar personality. He put his hand on Xia Xiqing’s shoulder and smiled so hard that he didn’t have any idol baggage. “After all, I am a idiot.”

This kid is so funny. Xia Xiqing has always been gentle in love, and it has become a habit over time. He turned to look at Shang Sirui, smiled and corrected his definition of himself, “Correction. Even if she is, she is still a beauty.”

“Oh~~” Shang Sirui hooked his neck, and the two of them leaned as close as possible, “But I think you are prettier than me, hahaha…”

Seeing the two people holding hands, Zhou Ziheng felt numb all over. While he felt a deeper contempt for Xia Xiqing, he was also a little worried about Shang Sirui, a heartless fool.

Xia Xiqing’s expression and tone when he spoke to him just now, in Zhou Ziheng’s opinion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was flirting.Xia Xiqing is simply a poisonous person. When he talks, his eyes are filled with honey and his smile is full of smiles, no matter who he is talking to.

Could it be that he is attracted to Shang Sirui? This idea also scared he himself. Zhou Ziheng frowned and coughed, diverting everyone’s attention. “I think we must have missed some important clues. The program team will not embarrass the guests like this. It is basically impossible to do calculations by hand.”

Xia Xiqing nodded in agreement. The program team would not embarrass the guests, especially Shang Sirui, the original player of this room. This room is much less difficult than the previous room, so an important detail must have been missed to cause the clue to be disconnected.

But he doesn’t like things that require violent solutions, calculating one by one, and looping thousands of times. This kind of low-level work has long been completed by humans. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Hey, it would be great if my nephew was here. The four-leaf rose number and the daffodil number are classic examples for us to get started with programming. I have compiled them so many times, maybe I have memorized these numbers.”

“Wow, your nephew? How old is your nephew when he learns programming? Your family is all gods, right…” Shang Sirui still put his arm around Xia Xiqing, half of his body almost hanging on his body.

As soon as he said the casual words, Xia Xiqing woke up in an instant. He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Ziheng, and found that Zhou Ziheng, who was sitting on the chair, also raised his eyes to look at he. Some kind of strange tacit understanding began to develop between the two people.

Zhou Ziheng moved the mouse manually, closed the initial interface, and looked at the computer desktop and some folders.

Xia Xiqing said to himself, “You shouldn’t be able to find it if you look for it this way… there must be a written path…” Then he walked back to the wastebasket.

“Hey, hey, what are you going to do?”

“There may be a clue.”

He looked through the scraps of paper that he had sorted out one by one. Some had insignificant words written on them, and some were scraps of paper drawn by children, until he turned over a piece of paper with only one line of words written on it.

As he expected, it is a path in the computer.

“Under the D drive.” Xia Xiqing brought the piece of paper to Zhou Ziheng. Zhou Ziheng entered the path according to the line of words, and sure enough, he found an executable file named rose in a deeply hidden folder. After execution, three numbers were printed directly on the black screen.

[1634 8208 9474]

“Technology is the primary productive force.” Xia Xiqing sighed sincerely, and then copied the remaining two four-leaf rose numbers into the blanks of the question.

Zhou Ziheng leaned back on the chair, his overly long legs were so tight that he could only branch to both sides of the round table, with his hands in the pockets of his jacket, and his brows were concentrated on combing through the current clues.

Zhou Ziheng’s logic is very clear, “We now have two four-digit numbers. Judging from the previous room, there is a high probability that it will be a password for something. However, we have not found any items that need to be opened with a password, which means that a clue is broken here.”

Zhou Ziheng’s voice was deep and had beautiful resonance, which made Xia Xiqing unconsciously think of the bells of Giotto’s bell tower in Florence and the sunset at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

When he passed by there with the drawing board on his back, the heavy bells struck his heart valves time and time again, making his whole body numb, as if he was experiencing an electric shock.

“Huh?”

The other party asked, and Xia Xiqing finally recovered from the sunset in Florence. Seeing Zhou Ziheng looking at him in confusion, he asked again, “What do you think?”

Xia Xiqing nodded. Although he didn’t hear clearly what Zhou Ziheng said before, he could probably guess that it was related to the current chain of clues. “Yes, our goal now is to find the missing one.” He flipped through the clues that Shang Sirui had found before, and there was only a palm-sized memo that had not been checked. He flipped through it roughly.

Shang Sirui, who had been looking around, said next to him: “I just found this next to the pillow. I rummaged through it for a long time and couldn’t find anything useful. I just remembered some miscellaneous things, such as what time to attend the meeting and pick up the children. There are also words written by the children on this memo, which is messy.”

Words written by children?

Xia Xiqing noticed something was wrong, and he flipped through it again. Sure enough, the memo contained not only the handwriting of the room owner, but also the handwriting of the four-leaf rose math problem. However, the content was nothing more than some words written to his father, some of which hoped that he would take him to travel, and some of them were ideas such as attending parent-teacher meetings.

I flipped through it again, but there was still no information worth pondering.

What’s wrong?

Xia Xiqing put down the memo, put his hand on his forehead and lowered his head to think. Zhou Ziheng reached out and took the memo, flipped it over, and suddenly said, “Is there a page missing here?”

“Really?” Xia Xiqing raised his head, he really didn’t notice it.Zhou Ziheng peeled open a page of the memo, and sure enough, there were jagged edges left after it had been torn.

“So in the wastebasket just now…” Xia Xiqing suddenly remembered that there was indeed a piece of waste paper the same size as the memo, and it was the handwriting of that teenage boy!

He walked over, knelt down on one knee and found the piece of paper. Although Shang Sirui didn’t understand the situation yet, he also stepped forward, leaned next to Xia Xiqing and read out the information written on the torn memo.

“Dad, the pen you gave me fell under the bed, but I can’t reach it. Can you help me find it?”

Pen?

Zhou Ziheng came over, knelt on the ground and looked under the bed, but the bed seemed to be solid, with wooden cabinets on all sides, and there was no so-called space under the bed.

Xia Xiqing knocked on the wood.

Not solid.

The moment he stood up, he saw a camera placed at the foot of the bed, which confirmed what he was thinking, “We have to move this bed.”

“Really or not?” Shang Sirui was a little doubtful, “No, I thought, are there any other clues? It feels like a pen…and there is so much information in the memo…”

Zhou Ziheng shook his head and asked, “Is this piece of paper in the memo?”

Shang Sirui didn’t react, “No, wasn’t it torn off?”

Zhou Ziheng nodded, “So…if you were the owner of this memo, why would you tear up a page in it?”

After listening to he’s question, Shang Sirui crossed his arms and thought for a moment, “If you tear it up… there are many possibilities. For example, it will be useless, but I feel that the whole memo is useless… Or, for example, if you don’t want others to see it…?” He suddenly got what Zhou Ziheng meant, and pointed at him with a snap of his fingers, “He doesn’t want to be seen!”

Zhou Ziheng smiled as if he had finally figured it out.

Xia Xiqing was lifting one side of the bed by himself, and was about to ask for help, but found that this large bed was surprisingly light, and he could lift half of it by himself.

It is indeed a prop…

The three of them moved the bed away without much effort. There were no marbles under the bed, only a box.To be precise, it is a safe with two lines of password fields, and four numbers need to be placed in each column.

There is a rose on the box, with four tiny leaves on the branch.

“Wow, I feel like I was accidentally covered by two kings.” Shang Sirui picked up the box with excitement and entered the password according to the answer calculated by the computer. After two clicks, the safe opened.

Xia Xiqing smiled helplessly. Could it be that Bronze accidentally entered the king’s game?

Zhou Ziheng looked at him with a smile that seemed to be extremely doting on Shang Sirui. He must have really fallen in love with Sirui.

Complete misunderstanding.

“Key!” Shang Sirui was overly excited and took out the key at once, without caring about anything else. “I can finally get out of this room.”

Xia Xiqing found that there was another document bag in the box. He opened the document bag. Inside was a power of attorney for property transfer. His expression became cold and he put the document bag aside.

Zhou Ziheng leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, observing the expression on Xia Xiqing’s face. This was his favorite thing to do as an actor.He felt strange that Xia Xiqing didn’t hide his expression just now. He was obviously such a cautious person.

“Is there anything else inside?” Zhou Ziheng asked.

Actually there is.Xia Xiqing checked the password box. There was an empty shell of medical records inside. “It seems to be stuck in the box.” He tried hard but couldn’t get it off, so he had to give up. “It’s just an empty shell. There is no medical record in it, and there is no name or age.”

Shang Sirui glanced at it in confusion, not showing much interest. For him, walking out of this room was equivalent to completing the task. He took the key and inserted it directly into the lock on his door. “The key is correct and can be turned!”

“Be careful.” Zhou Ziheng said, “It doesn’t matter whether we are friends or foes outside the door.”

Xia Xiqing smiled lightly and glanced lazily at Zhou Ziheng. Their eyes met again.

It’s not necessarily the case inside the door, let alone outside the door.

The author has something to say: Popular science: [Number of four-leaf roses]

This number with a nice name is actually an “auto-exponential number”. As the name suggests, auto-exponentiation means that the nth power of each digit (ones, tens…) of this n-digit number adds up to the number itself.

For example, when n=3 (that is, the three-digit autoexponential number), 1x1x1 5x5x5 3x3x3=153, this 153 is the three-digit autoexponential number.However, the name of an autoexponential number sounds… too mathematical, so it has some cute aliases, the most famous of which is the three-digit autoexponential number – the daffodil number.

This is very interesting. You may be wondering, with so many flowers, why do you have to choose daffodils?This starts from an ancient Greek mythology story. The river god and the fairy gave birth to a peerless beautiful boy Narcissus. All the fairies will fall in love with him. The most beautiful one among them has a tragic fate because of him. In order to punish him, the moon god implemented a curse on him, so that he can only fall in love with himself.So one day he came to the river and saw his reflection, and the curse came true.he died beside the river, which was full of daffodils.

So daffodils represent narcissism.Three-digit exponentiation numbers are also called narcissus numbers.
