The Unstoppable Sixth Prince

Chapter 15: Half a Cup of Tea Time Is Enough

Is this a primitive version of a Rubik's cube?

However, it's only the most basic three-by-three cube.

And it's made of jade.

Looking at the object in Ban Bu's hand, everyone was puzzled.

Apart from Yun Zheng, no one in the Great Dry had seen such an item before.

Ban Bu looked around arrogantly, "I've heard that the Great Dry is renowned for its flourishing culture and scholars of great learning."

"Today, I shall use this object to test all of you, to see if anyone in the Great Dry can solve it!"

"If the Great Dry lacks both brave warriors and learned scholars, why should I bow?"

Hearing Ban Bu's words, everyone was puzzled.

"This old man will do it!"

Xiao Wan Chou stepped forward first, sneering with disdain, "Just this broken thing, I can crush it in one hand!"

"..."

Yun Zheng's face twitched slightly, speechlessly looking at the old man.

Others want you to solve it!

Not to break it!

"Old General Xiao, I think you didn't understand my meaning."

Ban Bu mocked, "I want you to solve this, not break it!"

"Solve it?" Xiao Wan Chou was confused, "How do you solve it?"

"Simple!"

Ban Bu smiled sinisterly, "This object has six sides, each with a different color. Within half an hour, without damaging it, you must arrange the same-colored cubes on the same side."

"Just that?"

Xiao Wan Chou sneered, "This is a child's play. I don't need half an hour; I can solve it in a blink of an eye!"

Saying this, Xiao Wan Chou grabbed the cube from Ban Bu and started fiddling with it.

Ban Bu looked at Xiao Wan Chou with amusement, waiting for him to fail.

Xiao Wan Chou tried hard, but even after a while, he couldn't align one side, let alone all six.

The more frustrated Xiao Wan Chou got, the more he wanted to break the cube and reassemble it.

Seeing this, Ban Bu couldn't help but sneer, "General Xiao, as a military man, you're not suited for solving this. Perhaps someone more intellectually agile in your court should try!"

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Wan Chou refused to admit defeat, stubbornly saying, "I just haven't figured it out yet. Give me a moment to understand it!"

Saying this, Xiao Wan Chou continued to fiddle with the cube.

But the cube seemed to have a life of its own; whenever he managed to align one side, the other sides would become disordered.

Xiao Wan Chou kept fumbling but couldn't solve even one side.

"Marquis of Yu, let me try!"

Yun Li walked forward with a chuckle.

Xiao Wan Chou couldn't solve it and, seeing Yun Li step forward, gladly handed the cube over.

Yun Li took the cube and pretended to study it for a bit, then looked at Ban Bu with a smile, "To solve this, one needs skill, right?"

"Right!"

Ban Bu nodded.

"Let me show you that the Great Dry has learned scholars!"
