221: So burning!

“Current location: Bakeshi - Royal Museum Underground Vault.”

“Current drop rate: Classified.”

“Current game end time: 16 minutes 42 seconds.”

“Hint: Please complete evacuation before time runs out!”

In the underground vault.

Zhang Yu carefully led Long Xiaopang here.

They had been searching the Museum for a long time, hiding whenever they heard movement, and along the way, they also found quite a few blue and purple quality supplies.

After safely searching the underground vault, Zhang Yu also led Long Xiaopang to the door of the key room.

“Yu ge, why are we here?”

Long Xiaopang asked, puzzled.

“We’ve searched pretty much everything, right? I feel like we can pull the switch and evacuate. How about we leave?”

“Spineless! The supplies we’ve found combined aren’t even 300,000, and you already want to leave?”

Zhang Yu immediately glanced at him with disdain, looking disappointed.

“Then we should go search for things in other places, right? Can you even open this key room?”

Long Xiaopang was a bit flustered by the rebuke, his face flushed with anger.

However, he didn’t expect Zhang Yu to just smile faintly.

He didn't speak, just lowered his head, placed his backpack on the ground, and then rummaged through it for the tools he needed.

Soon, he pulled out a pitch-black crowbar from his pocket, weighed it in his hand, feeling its quality.

And seeing this, Long Xiaopang was also a little surprised.

“Yu ge, are you… going to pry open the key room?”

“Let’s try it. Anyway, this crowbar costs thirty yuan a piece, and there’s no loss if it’s dropped in the restricted area.”

Zhang Yu smiled.

“Holy crap! Yu ge, it has to be you! I remember the key card for this underground vault costs forty or fifty thousand yuan a piece. If you pry it open with this thirty-yuan shovel, won’t you net forty thousand yuan?!”

“What shovel? This is a crowbar! You illiterate.”

Zhang Yu was a bit speechless. How could Long Xiaopang not even recognize such basic tools?

“But, can this password lock really be pried open? If it could, then someone should have tried it, and the price of the key card would have plummeted!”

“I don’t know if it will succeed, but let’s try our best.”

Zhang Yu sighed lightly.

Normally, a crowbar could easily pry open a wooden door like those in his rural hometown, but it would be a bit difficult with an iron door.

If he encountered a door made of anti-theft materials like titanium alloy, the difficulty would increase by another level.

Most of the doors in the restricted area, judging by their material, should be iron doors.

However, the steel in the restricted area was harder than in reality, so it probably wouldn't be so easy to pry open.

However…

The tools Zhang Yu prepared were not just this one crowbar.

“Hurry up, you come too.”

Saying that, Zhang Yu pulled another crowbar from his backpack and threw it to Long Xiaopang.

Then, without further ado, he inserted the crowbar into the door crack and began to exert force.

“Yi yi yi —!”

“Oh oh oh —!”

“Ah ah ah —!”

“Damn it, fatty, can you stop making such strange noises when you exert force?”

Listening to Long Xiaopang’s battle cry, Zhang Yu almost choked with laughter.

This little fatty was just prying a door, how could he make such a weird noise?

“Yu ge, the lock on this door is made of iron, right! The two of us can’t pry it open at all!”

“Nonsense, if it’s not made of iron, is it made of your head?!”

Zhang Yu was a bit speechless.

However, after the recent attempt, the door to this key room was indeed difficult for ordinary people to pry open.

However.

Although this attempt failed, when Zhang Yu forcefully pried the door, he noticed something was off.

The lock of this special door, which required a key card, seemed to have a powerful magnetic force, attracting the door from both front and back.

“Yu ge, why don’t we give up? Since this thing has a key card, it means it’s not that easy for you to open!”

“Don’t worry, your Yu ge still has a trick.”

Saying that, Zhang Yu smiled faintly and rummaged through his backpack again.

Then he pulled out a flamethrower and two huge magnets from inside.

“Yu ge, what is this?”

“These are mysterious wonderful tools.”

Zhang Yu smiled faintly, proudly displaying the tools in his hand.

Although he knew Long Xiaopang wouldn’t understand these, he probably looked very tall and mysterious in his eyes.

“Before coming to the restricted area, I specifically checked the information. The doors in the restricted area that open with a key card are most likely magnetic. At that time, I considered that if we couldn't pry it open with brute force, perhaps we could use other methods to demagnetize it, so I prepared these.”

“So, these are the tools needed for demagnetization?”

“That’s right!”

“Holy crap! Yu ge, you’re really a genius! You could even think of this!”

Long Xiaopang indeed immediately showed an expression of surprise and admiration.

He used to think Zhang Yu was smart, and his comprehension and operation skills when playing games were extraordinary.

Given a chance, he might even reach the level of playing professional games.

Therefore, Long Xiaopang often couldn't understand how Zhang Yu, such a smart person, ended up like this.

Playing games and eating instant noodles in internet cafes every day, especially before entering the restricted area, secretly working as an internet cafe attendant, this was pure game addiction!

“Yu ge, your grades must have been pretty good back then, right? Why did you choose to come out and spend every day in internet cafes, becoming an internet cafe master?”

“Nonsense, studying is not as fun as gaming.”

Zhang Yu smiled faintly, then without further explanation, he directly threw the two large magnets to Long Xiaopang.

“You go and try rubbing and banging these magnets on the door access, see if it can affect its magnetic force.”

“Understood!”

Long Xiaopang stood at attention, gave Zhang Yu a proper salute, and then began to operate.

During this time, Zhang Yu was not idle either.

He first added a fuel tank to the flamethrower, then lightly sprayed his arm to test the temperature.

Hiss — it’s really hot!

Looking at his arm, which was almost cooked, Zhang Yu endured the pain and quickly came to the key door.

Anyway, injuries sustained in the restricted area could be recovered after leaving, so this small burn wouldn't affect anything.

“How is it, any reaction?”

“I don’t know, it didn’t open, did it?”

“Try with the crowbar?”

“It seems to have loosened a bit!”

After rubbing and tapping with the magnets, Long Xiaopang reported with surprise.

The key room door, which had been unmoving before, could now be seen to pry open a few millimeters when a crowbar was used.

And seeing this, Zhang Yu was also very happy.

His previous idea actually worked!

“Move aside, I’ll burn it!”

“Ah? Yu ge, this is a restricted area, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
