To be honest, Chen Zhou imagined countless possibilities before solving the puzzle.
He thought the cube might contain a piece of gum, a condom, a button cell battery, or a high-quality counterfeit Yuan Shikai coin.
He also considered that it might hold precious medicines like an amoxicillin capsule, a quick-acting heart-saving pill, or Angong Niuhuang pills.
He imagined it might contain several seeds, a block of precious metal, or gemstones.
He even considered it might hold a magical capsule that could enhance strength and speed or extend life.

But upon seeing "Permission to cheat using space-time slicing," Chen Zhou felt a chill crawling up his spine and tingling on his scalp, making his hair stand on end.
