Chapter 455: Chapter 427: No Peeking_2

Beifeng circled the teeterboard to ensure there were no issues before calling Jiang Zhe over.

"Do you see the direction indicator needle in the middle?" Jiang Zhe said, "The pointer is at the reset position. It seems like if it starts to move, the direction it points to should be the direction of our final destination."

"But how do we get it to indicate the direction?" Xiaobao didn’t understand.

"This type of balancing teeterboard, you just need both sides to be perfectly balanced to come to a stop. Once it remains balanced for fifteen seconds, it will indicate a position,"

Jiang Zhe explained.

"So if we sit on it, won’t we be able to maintain the balance?" As soon as Xiaobao said that, Fatty sat down with him.

However, one was too skinny while the other was fat; their weights were disproportionate and it was impossible to achieve balance.

In a stroke of quick thinking, Xiaobao picked up his bag.

But it was either too heavy or too light; achieving balance was difficult.

Fatty said, "Achieving perfect balance is impossible, unless we know how much weight each side needs. Otherwise, how could we maintain perfect balance for fifteen seconds?"

"Master and Idol’s weights are closer to ours, you two should give it a try," Xiaobao suggested.

Jiang Zhe found it quite amusing.

Before even sitting down, just the thought of Beifeng’s long legs, which he couldn’t settle, already painted a picture in his mind.

"Idol, what are you laughing at?" Xiaobao asked curiously.

"No need for Beifeng," Jiang Zhe said.

Beifeng was just about to take action, but Jiang Zhe’s words made him pause.

He asked, "You don’t need me?"

"That’s right, not needed. Although two people sitting at both ends can maintain balance through skill, the difference in weight is too great; the skill would be very difficult to master," Jiang Zhe said. "I’ll try by myself."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Beifeng’s eyes, but he did not stop Jiang Zhe from trying.

Jiang Zhe walked over and with a graceful jump, landed in the very center of the balance beam teeterboard.

The teeterboard, which had been wobbling up and down and could not maintain balance, gradually stabilized under her feet’s adjustments, slowly coming to a complete halt, with both sides forming a perfect straight line.

"That’s it!" Jiang Zhe declared, "It’s indicating the southeast direction. So we should head towards the northwest direction."

"If it’s pointing southeast, why should we walk in the opposite direction?" Xiaobao was puzzled.

Jiang Zhe couldn’t be bothered to explain and walked forward.

Beifeng spoke up, "First, the challenge given by the school wouldn’t be this simple; second, if Jiang Zhe says it is, then it definitely is; third, if Jiang Zhe says it isn’t, then it isn’t."

"Master, that’s as good as not saying anything at all," Xiaobao said, spreading his hands.

Beifeng did not provide a deeper explanation, yet he understood Jiang Zhe’s reasoning.

This was the Beicheng Continent’s Secret Realm Island, part of which overlapped with other countries, making the borders very complex.

Heading southeast could lead one to accidentally cross the border.

The southwest direction was where they came from, the northeast direction was a cliff, leaving only the northwest direction available.

Only someone who understood the particularities of the Secret Realm Island could make such a deduction.

With many local students and instructors all being locals for this military training, the correct judgment could almost be made based on the existing information.

In the end, it was a form of unfairness towards the students from other places.

Xiaobao followed Jiang Zhe and asked, "But why are we still heading southeast now?"

Fatty explained on behalf of Jiang Zhe, "We still need to go wash up first, right?"

Xiaobao smacked his head, "What a memory I have."

Upon reaching the water source, a conspicuous pool of clear water looked very tempting.

Xiaobao and Fatty ran over to wash their hands, feet, and faces.

As they washed, they hopped around from the cold: "Oh my, the water is even cooler than before. Way too cold."

The sky was darkening, the sun setting, and the temperature dropping.

The water, already cooler than the air, was now unbearably cold.

Xiaobao reminded Jiang Zhe, "Idol, it looks like we can’t take a bath, just make do with washing our hands and feet."

Jiang Zhe, covered in blood, felt very uncomfortable all over and frowned as she looked at them.

Beifeng scanned the surroundings and headed to a spot not far away. A little later, he returned and said, "You can wash."

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was puzzled.

"Just give me a moment," Beifeng said, moving to the side and tinkering with something. Soon after, he redirected the flow of water to another spot.

Water that had just been icy now gradually began to emit steam.

Xiaobao touched it and exclaimed, "It’s warm, it’s really nice!"

"Jiang Zhe!" Beifeng called to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe walked over and felt the water, finding the temperature just right.
