Chapter 1020: Almost Drove Another One Crazy

Genta lowered his head and continued to play with the Nine Linked Rings, taking the first three rings apart again. He discovered that the fourth ring indeed still needed the third ring to be on the Handle Frame, so he reassembled the first three rings.

Irritability +1!
Irritability +1!

Enduring it, Genta reassembled the first three rings, but suddenly realized that he was back to square one and had to disassemble them again.
Irritability +1!
Irritability +1!

Aside, Doctor Agasa saw Genta lowering his head with a sullen face, and felt a sweat in his heart, "Genta..."

"Doctorate, Don't Worry About Me," Genta said with a serious and gloomy expression, staring down at the Nine Linked Rings in his hand as if he wanted to chew it up and swallow it. "I can do it."

Disassembling it again, he would observe again, he refused to believe...
Irritability +1!
Irritability +1!

Conan also sweated a bit and decided to secretly give Genta a little help. He turned his head to ask Chi Feichei, "Brother Chi said just now that Genta's rule was correct, and that to disassemble the fourth ring, the third ring must be on the Handle Frame, right?"

Chi Feichei understood that Conan wanted to use the old routine to give a 'Hint'. He still lowered his eyes, staring at the Liquor in his Wine Glass, and said without raising his head, "Yes, to disassemble the fourth ring, the third ring must be on the Handle Frame, and all the rings in front of the third ring must not be on the Handle Frame. The fifth ring requires the fourth ring to be on the Handle Frame, and the first, second, and third rings are not on the Handle Frame, and so on."

Conan breathed a sigh of relief in his Heart. Now Genta should know that the rule he had grasped was only the First Half. It was not enough for the third ring to be on the Handle Frame; he also needed to put the first two rings down before he could put the fourth ring down.

Genta pricked up his ears and heard, Understood, and reassembled the rings.

He took the first and second rings off the Handle Frame, leaving the third ring on, letting the fourth ring pass through the third ring, and put down the fourth ring. Looking at the third ring left on the Handle Frame, thinking about Doctor Agasa's steps to disassemble the third ring, he reassembled the first and second rings, put down the first ring, used the second ring to remove the third ring, then reassembled the first ring, used the first ring to remove the second ring, and then took the first ring off as well...

The first four rings on the Handle Frame were all taken off.

"You succeeded, Genta!" Ayumi said with a smile. Kiriko Shirane clapped her hands, "Very impressive!"

Genta breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little mentally tired, but still wanted to continue trying.

To disassemble the fifth ring, the fourth ring must be on the Handle Frame, and the first three rings must not be...

Then he would have to put down the first three rings, leaving the fourth ring to disassemble the fifth ring, then reassemble the first three rings, disassemble the first and second rings, use the third ring to disassemble the fourth ring, and then reassemble...

Doctor Agasa saw that Genta had found the Pattern, so he let Genta play and talked to Chi Feichei, who was drinking Liquor, "The Pattern is very strong. After finding the Pattern, the steps are just a bit tedious. Moreover, disassembling and assembling are a pair of reverse processes, and there is also a set of Patterns for assembling, right, Hissashi?"

Chi Feichei took a sip of Liquor, put down his Wine Glass, and nodded, "It's the same principle as the Gray Code of a Computer..."

Aside, Ida Yan and Jin Gu Fengren, who were drinking together, leaned closer to listen, and fell silent.

Gray Code? Why did they have a bad feeling?

Chi Feichei: "If we use 1 to represent a ring on the Handle Frame and 0 to represent a ring under the Handle Frame, the leftmost ring can be moved up and down arbitrarily. The rightmost digit in the output Data is 1, and redundant 0s on the right can be omitted. Then it would be 1, 11, 01, 011, 111, 101, 001, 0011..."

Ida Yan: "..." (ー△ー;) Who am I? Where am I? What are these people talking about?

Jin Gu Fengren: "..." (ー△ー;) Can anyone understand this stuff?

Haibara Ai nodded and said, "I understand. Convert it to Binary and find its Gray Code..."

Ida Yan and Jin Gu Fengren: "..." They were wrong. They shouldn't have eavesdropped. They should have watched that Fat Person Disguise disassemble the Nine Linked Rings. At least they could understand a little bit of that...

Over there, Genta had already disassembled five rings and continued amidst cheers.

Conan watched Genta struggling with the Nine Linked Rings, sweating profusely. Although Genta was disassembling them fairly smoothly at the moment, he was still worried, "Brother Chi, the more rings you get to, the more steps there are, right? Then disassembling the sixth ring requires..."

"The first and second rings can be disassembled at the same time, which is 31 steps," Chi Feichei paused, "Actually, if you want to disassemble all nine rings, you have to disassemble the ninth ring first."

"In Other Words, the eighth ring and the ninth ring to be disassembled are left on the Handle Frame, and the first seven rings are all taken off. The steps to disassemble the seventh ring..." Conan's Mind froze for a moment, and he couldn't help but look at Genta with worry.

Over there, Genta lowered his head and tried to disassemble the sixth ring. At some point, his Mind froze and he became Stunned, and things got messed up.
Irritability +1!
Irritability +1!
Irritability +1!

The others watched Genta mess around, and their Approaches also became a mess, with mosquito coils swirling in their Eyes.

The more chaotic Genta's Approach became, the more irritable he got. The more irritable he got, the less he could find his Approach. The more chaotic his Approach became, the more... Then, the disassembled rings got knotted.

Hissashi looked at the chaotic mess of Nine Linked Rings, Thoughtful. These knots... it could understand how to untie them.

"Ahhh!" Genta shouted irritably and slammed the Nine Linked Rings onto the Table, startling the others.

"Ge-Genta..." Ayumi was Stunned.

Genta put down the Nine Linked Rings, and with a thud, he fell forward, his Profile pressed against the Desktop, lying face down, looking dejected and listless, "I'm not playing anymore, I'm not playing anymore... I won't play anymore in the future..."

Conan was stunned again and again. This... Did this Chi Feichei guy almost drive another one crazy by giving a Gift?

"Alright, alright," Doctor Agasa quickly comforted Genta, whose Mentality had exploded and collapsed, "The Nine Linked Rings are inherently difficult to disassemble, and the steps are quite tedious. As a first-grade Elementary School Student, being able to disassemble five rings is already very impressive!"

"Yes," Kiriko Shirane also nodded in agreement, "It's really impressive. I was already dizzy just watching."

"Really..." Genta straightened up, half-believing and half-doubting.

"It will be much Better once you are familiar with it." Chi Feichei followed up to soothe Genta's Emotion. He Don't Want To drive the Child to develop any Problem.

Genta Looked at the Nine Linked Rings on the Table, feeling that the messy rings were swaying and shaking in front of his Eyes again, and immediately shifted his Line of Sight, "Then I won't play either!"

"Genta, you should Rest for a while," Mitsuhiko said with a smile, "If we had known to look at the Instruction Manual, it wouldn't have been so Hard!"

Genta: "..." He forgot there was also an Instruction Manual...

Conan picked up the Instruction Manual that had been thrown Aside, lowered his head and Looked at it, then Looked Towards Chi Feichei, "Even if you disassemble it according to the Instruction Manual, it will take a long Time, right, Brother Chi? What is the fastest Challenge record?"

"Three minutes and fifty-odd seconds." Chi Feichei picked up the Nine Linked Rings and Decided to try it himself.

Those who Challenge the Nine Linked Rings record are all Chinese. He remembered that in his previous life in 2012, someone broke the record with a Score of 161 seconds, and they even disassembled it with their Eyes closed. Before that, the fastest record was just over three minutes and fifty seconds in 2003, and the fastest record in this World is still just over three minutes and fifty seconds.

The others saw that Chi Feichei Intention to try, and gathered around Chi Feichei again.

"Then how long will it take Brother Chi to disassemble all the Nine Linked Rings?" Conan asked Curiously.

"I can't break the record." Chi Feichei sorted out the Nine Linked Rings that Genta had messed up, and quickly assembled them, the Speed was so Dazzling that the others were amazed. Not being modest.

Conan: "..." He just asked about the Time, but his Little Friend actually considered breaking the record... But looking at Chi Feichei's Hand Speed and proficiency, he felt that it was indeed worth considering.

Chi Feichei held the Handle Frame in his Left Hand, sorted out his thoughts, and his Right Hand fingers kept moving between the Iron Rings. One by one, the Iron Rings were constantly being taken off and put on.

Disassemble the ninth ring first, which is disassemble 1, disassemble 3, assemble 1, disassemble 1 and 2, disassemble 5, assemble 1 and 2, disassemble 1, assemble 3... disassemble 7, assemble 1 and 2, disassemble 1, assemble 3... After the ninth ring is put down, only the eighth ring is circled on the Handle Frame. Rings one to seven and ring nine are all detached from the Handle Frame, but the eighth ring cannot be taken off like this. You have to reassemble 2, assemble 3 to remove 2 and 1, assemble 4 to disassemble 3, 2, and 1... until only the seventh and eighth rings are left on the Handle Frame, then the eighth ring can be taken off. After that, you have to disassemble the seventh ring...

"Clang clang clang..." The Sound of Iron Rings and Grill Rack colliding was continuous.

The others watched silently, without mosquito coils swirling in their Eyes. Because... they couldn't see the Iron Rings at all.

Chi Feichei focused on disassembling the rings and found that he occasionally touched the wrong ring or his thoughts would pause for a moment. He knew that he really couldn't break the record unless he could disassemble all the rings without any pauses. Pity, he had no Interest in breaking records, and playing it occasionally as a Pastime was enough.

The 'clang clang clang' Sound paused occasionally, ringing in the ears of the others for more than three minutes.

Genta sat Aside, secretly glanced at it, and immediately felt full of Sigh and relief. It's not even disassembled yet, what a terrifying Toy, it's a good thing he gave up early!

"Clang clang clang..." The Sound rang for a while longer before Chi Feichei stopped. The Handle Frame in his Left Hand and the ring frame in his Right Hand were completely separated.

Doctor Agasa came back to his senses and quickly turned his Head to ask Ai, "Ai, how long has it been?"

"I only remembered to start timing five or six seconds after Brother Hichiji started," Haibara Ai Looked at the Watch on her Wrist and estimated, "It's probably a little over four minutes, less than four minutes and ten seconds."

"What a Pity," Mitsuhiko said with Regret, "Just a little bit more..."

"Sometimes this little bit is also a difficult gap to cross," Doctor Agasa corrected seriously, "Even athletes are the same. In order to make that little bit of breakthrough, they need to spend a lot of Time and Sweat practicing!"

Kiriko Shirane smiled helplessly, "It would probably take me a long Time to even disassemble the sixth ring."

"Alright," Ida Yan chuckled, "It's getting late. Let's hurry up and Wash Up and Rest. I'm going to bed after I finish this Wine Glass."

Hissashi saw that Chi Feichei was Preparation to assemble the Nine Linked Rings, and quickly climbed forward, "Master, Master, I'll assemble them! I want to try!"

Chi Feichei put the separated Nine Linked Rings on the Table, got Up, and Discuss with Doctor Agasa about taking the Children to Wash Up in batches.

Hissashi wrapped its Body around the Ring Handle and Handle Frame, and then used the tip of its Tail to poke the rings into the frame little by little.

Doctor Agasa saw that Hissashi was playing intently, so he didn't stop it, and went with Chi Feichei to take the Child to Wash Up.

When A Group of People came back to pick up Hissashi, Jin Gu Fengren and Ida Yan were just Preparation to leave, but Hissashi had actually assembled most of the Nine Linked Rings. Seeing Chi Feichei enter the Door, it put down the Nine Linked Rings.

"So, so impressive..." Ayumi ran to the Table, Looked at the two rings that Hissashi had assembled, and exclaimed, "As expected of Hissashi!" Mitsuhiko also nodded, "Hissashi is indeed very impressive!"

Conan Step Forward and Looked at it, and found that the assembled Portion of rings were not assembled incorrectly. He felt unbelievable and turned his Head to look at Hissashi, who was darting towards Chi Feichei.

The Nine Linked Rings, which many Adults may not be able to master, were actually assembled for the most part by a Snake without a single mistake. If it was a coincidence, it shouldn't have assembled so many correctly, right?

Originally, Hissashi could play Video Game, so he Speculation that Hissashi's Intelligence was no less than that of a six or seven-year-old Child. Now, Once Seeing this, it was more than just no less than a six or seven-year-old Child; it should have exceeded a Portion of Adults! But how was that Possibility? Unless Hissashi became a spirit... That was even more impossible. They had to believe in Science.

Hissashi darted into Chi Feichei's arms, found a comfortable Posture and wrapped itself around Chi Feichei's Neck, sighed, "Master, it's too inconvenient to play this with a Snake Body. This way, I can't break the record at all. Playing Video Game is Better..."

Chi Feichei Looked at the Nine Linked Rings and Choice Silence. Hissashi really had Talent in 'playing', whether it was ordinary Entertainment Toy or educational Toy. However, as a Snake, actually thinking about breaking the Nine Linked Rings record was a bit arrogant.

Conan still couldn't Understand, frowned and pondered. When he was Packing Up the Instruction Manual that had been thrown on the Table, he suddenly understood.

Hissashi is good at playing Game because it should have a Talent similar to humans in terms of graphics. Then, looking at the Pattern on the Instruction Manual and assembling the Nine Linked Rings also makes sense. Maybe Hissashi doesn't Understand what this Means, or even doesn't Know what this Thing is. It just looked at the Pattern as interesting, and when playing with the Iron Rings and Handle Frame that were the Same as the Pattern, it just followed the Pattern, just like learning to play Game from Chi Feichei... This explanation is reasonable.
