"Just a little more... just a little more..." Sweat had already appeared on Uzumaki Chenhao's forehead. He stared at his fingers and thought anxiously.
After all, he was on the verge of success. The slightest mistake would mean failure, but no matter what, he would succeed. He was not that careless; even if there was only a tiny bit left, he would not let his guard down. Besides, his fingers had already begun to go numb.
"I really didn't expect this. I don't know what the punishment for failure is, but I'm incredibly nervous. Maybe it's precisely because I don't know what the punishment is that I'm this nervous. That's entirely possible. I'm afraid the punishment for failure is destroying what's inside. Then all of this would have been for nothing!" Uzumaki Chenhao thought silently as his fingers neared the final stretch.
"Just a little more. About three centimeters left. Be careful. I absolutely can't fail at the very last moment." Uzumaki Chenhao slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. As he spoke, his hand began moving again, slowly tracing its way toward the end.
Time passed bit by bit, and his fingers finally traced the entire pattern. He lowered his hand and looked at the markings, only to find that nothing had changed. But two seconds later, he saw the patterns suddenly take on a rich golden color.
"Just as I thought—I wasn't wrong. This pattern is the mechanism for unlocking this box! But why didn't I realize it right away? I kept looking for other mechanisms. What a waste of time. Still, it's finally unlocked. But it only changed color and nothing else happened. Do I need to do something more?" Uzumaki Chenhao said softly with a smile as he looked at the glowing golden patterns.
