Interesting Performance is the unofficial name for one of Cellbit's Investigations. This page serves to register all the steps, events and clues related to the investigation in one place.
The message in the box[]
After attempting suicide during the final Elections debate, Cellbit found a mysterious black shulker box at the entrance of his castle. Inside it there was a signed book without a title or writer. On this book there was a message announcing that he would be contacted in the on Friday, 7th of July.
Once that day arrived, Cellbit found another mysterious box with a book and a navigation flag. This book suggested him to investigate the place where he once found it, The Boat. The navigation flag was one that translates to "You are running into danger".
With the help of Richarlyson, Cellbit found a secret room within the ship with a book and a large picture with a cryptic message coded with the international maritime signal flags. These flags could then be converted into the message:

Once fully translated with a Ceaser Cypher it read as:

Mission: Blue Bird[]
During the Can you hear it? event, Cellbit was tasked with gathering all of the information he could from the Laboratory Ruins. Before the event started, he met with Jaiden who would be executing her mission for Cucurucho. Before Cucurucho told her that her mission should be a secretive subject, Cellbit was able to get a book with more information on it.
Alongside Richarlyson, BadBoyHalo and Foolish they followed her to the marked location. In there he was able to find multiple books that he brought home to theorize alongside one lamed "Lugar" written by Richarlyson that reported on the details he could gather from observing the location.
After reading, organizing and discussing all of the books contents, Cellbit pondered if the Installations could have been the previous Federations offices and if the "A4" and "A5" spoken in the E-ENTRANCE books was in any way related to the floors or any other projects. Upon reviewing some of his past memories, he remembered in the day of Felps rescue he had seen something similar within a book called "PASSWORD".
He also believed the monthly books referred to the months prior to the Train arrival. That it told the story of a Federation project gone wrong, ending those months with the IMPORTANT NOTICE book that spoke of the Federation abandoning those installations for the new ones.
While initially he believed that the FEDERATION books might refer to The Host, he later questioned himself if they refereed to 8 employees who wrote it as a sort of liability exemption contract.
Cellbit then copied the book and handed over the originals to this mysterious person that contacted him. Transcriptions of the books and more details about this event can be found at event page.
Secret Mission 25[]
For the following days Cellbit joined BadBoyHalo, Baghera Jones and Fit on investigation missions of The Federation Headquarters and the Laboratory Ruins. It was in the Laboratory that he found a secret room hidden behind a system that required a emerald block to be powered. Inside this room there were some books, including one of Mysterious Diaries entitled "25".
While he had planned to visit it with BadBoyHalo once the two of them were live, after the two of them visited the place and cellbit was going to put the book away, he revealed having already been there and taken the original, leaving a copy behind.
The Lighthouse[]
After taking part on the Elections Dinner and observing the fight between ElQuackity and Maximus, Cellbit returned to his castle with Richarlyson in hopes to be able to investigate the recent Binary Entity attack. Surprisingly, he was met with a strange black shulker box that contained a book inside from this unknown correspondent.
Cellbit quickly put his things away and met with Roier who awaited him upstairs. The three of them decided to investigate the clue in this book and head to the coordinates shown in the book. Upon arriving they found a cobblestone structure with a picture hidden inside.
After discussing the clue with Richarlyson and Roier, Cellbit quickly realized it's connection with something strange that had been happening on the island. For the past few days, BadBoyHalo, Baghera and Forever had received mysterious books entitled "9" "1" and "2" respectively. Inside these books there were some sets of three numbers that Cellbit believed to result onto something.
He contacted Forever and asked for the codes. Upon merging them to gather in order, he was able to get the string "/missing_083747654". He noticed it's similarities to a URL code, so he jumped into his browser and typed in the Global QSMP website followed by the decoded message.
He was unsure of what this missing object was, but he was able to quickly point out that the next clue would be related to the "LAST SEEN AT: fg, fcic". Knowing there was likely a way to turn this into variables, Cellbit started trying to decipher it.
After analyzing it for a bit, he theorized that you could replace each letter for it's position in the alphabet, resulting in the coordinates "67, 6393". After deciding to visit this location, the group was met with a familiar lighthouse structure. While they pondered it could just be a normal dungeon, they noticed it was unusually lit up. They made their way inside and found a set of books. Most of them were empty with the exception of a book entitled "6".
At the top of the lighthouse they were able to find a chest containing a Sudoku sheet with some incorrect guesses. Before they could investigated it tho, from where they were, it was possible to see the village that Book 6 spoke off so they decided to pay it a visit. Everything seemed normal with the houses until Richarlyson pointed out that the floor of one of the houses had some strange stair blocks. He broke it of revealing a chest with a book titled "14" and a Emerald block.
After investigating further, they noticed the emerald block was connected to a power transmiter so they went on the search for the item that was interacting with it and while passing the Lighthouse, Cellbit noticed a opened latch created by a piston that lead to a locked chest. This lead to the realization that the wrong numbers of the Sudoku would reveal the code to opening the chest. Cellbit then spent the next half an hour solving the Sudoku.
After putting the correct numbers and opening the chest, Cellbit found a brown sharestone inside that lead him to a location named "." Upon traveling there he found a small house in ruins with ashes covering the ground, the broken windows and the walls. After investigating the house for a wall, they found a camouflaged Kitchen Drawer in the ground. Inside it there was a statue and an image of a children's book cover with a grid.
Cellbit and Richarlyson ran to a nearby tree that looked like the one in the picture. They tried to replicate the image seen on the book with the statue and this tree and a large red beam rose from the other side of the mountain. Inside it they found a Beacon and below it a chest with a book.
Tired from investigating and believing he had reached a dead end, Cellbit decided to leave so he could clear up his mind.
End of the Line[]
After investigating the house further, Cellbit noticed something weird about it's windows. They didn't seem to have been broken that way by accident. The patterns of the remaining windows showed what seemed to be a code written in braille. After viewing all of the windows they seemed to spell out "ENDO" "FTHE" "LINE" which resulted in the phrase "End of the line".
This lead Cellbit and Richarlyson to speculate that it might be somehow connected to the train tracks. While initially they though it would be somewhere around the nether portals, they realized the clues pointed them to the station as it would be where the train tracks would end. There, they found a trapdoor that lead them to a secret room with a large red button and the book from the puzzle of first day of the QSMP.
Cellbit was hesitant on pressing the button but eventually clicked it to a anti-climatic result. While initially seemed that nothing had happened, upon returning to the station they found out that all the pressure plated from the first day had reappeared and with the help of Baghera and Pomme they were able to solve the puzzle.
This prompted a video to play to them where the Duckling showed up. However this video seemed to be corrupted and glitch at the end, showing a part of the sea next to the station for a single frame. Cellbit thanks Baghera and Pomme for their helped and gathered with Richarlyson to go search for the location. Once there, they were able to locate a weirdly placed block of red sand that once broken, awarded them with an achievement.

Initially they though the solution was to collect as much mycelium as the equation asked for, but after that failed, they though that their best option was to go to the coordinates "5342 4752" which turned out to be the correct guess.

They figured that the "morning" mentioned in this clue spoke of the direction in which the sun rose in the morning and that the 200 paces referred to the distance in that direction they had to walk. The two of them then made their way 200 blocks to the east and got their next clue.

Similar to the previous one, this time they had to move 350 steps in the direction of the ice biome but sadly for them, this achievement wasn't marked as completed, leaving them confused on what the goal could have been. It was when Cellbit returned to the surface that he was able to accidentally step on the correct block to unlock the next step.

To finish his day off, Cellbit tried to solve the last riddle but everything seemed impossible. He tried to walk around and even head to the mirrored location on the map considering both it's origin and the wall and neither worked. He tried visiting his castle again but to no avail. As the day neared it's end Cellbit decided it was best to rest and try to come up with a solution the next day.
The Music Mansion and the Church[]
The day started with Cellbit theorizing a possible solution to the problem. While he had tried many things, one thing that was stuck on his mind was the most simple answer. He questioned himself if all he had to do was to craft a mirror and watch himself on it and so he decided to give that a shot. To his surprise, this was the answer that lead to the next riddle.

He though about this clue and imagined it might reefer to an event. Knowing that the Y,M,D clue might reefer to some coordinates, he immediately closed that the X would be around 2000, Y would have to be between 1 and 12 and the Z would be between 1 and 31. He decided to make his way to these coordinates and on the way he theorized that it might be the coordinated of the election day. Regardless, once at this location he started digging down and came across a gigantic QR code written on the ground.
Initially he though this QR code was incomplete and tried searching for more, but eventually realized he could just read that bit and get the result of "/rejected_158".
This, once again, allowed him to discover a new webpage within the QSMP Global website that spoke of a location called the "Music Mansion". In there, there were some clues to a possible location where it might be hidden.
After analyzing the line "TESTING LOCATION: ApSSAu -FAuMF" he realized that the pattern might be uncovered by replacing the letters with the corresponding month's number such as "Ap" stranding for "April" and representing a 4. This lead them the some new coordinates at "4998 -2832" with M possibly standing for either May or March.
At this location they found a abandoned building with a colorful ceiling, some pressure plates on the ground and many signs on the wall with random numbers written on it. While exploring the area, Richarlyson seemingly found a secret room that contained a chest with a book.
After some theorizing and with Roier's and Richarlyson's help, Cellbit was able to connect the many clues on the place. Above the pressure plates there seemed to be colored blocks that represented the color of that pressure plate while the numbers on the walls represented a color wavelength that was associated with that letter. The objective then would be to try and spell the Alphabet using the pressure plates.
While they initially were able to figure out why nothing was happening, it was when Richarlyson decided to give it a shot that Cellbit noticed it was playing a familiar tune. This tune was Wagner's Bridal Chorus a small melody often used during marriages. Knowing this, the group decided to investigate the QSMP Church as it would be their best best.
While inside the cathedral, the group ran to the lectern stand in hoped to find a book to no avail. While they had their morals down, Roier accidentally got too close to the stand and fell down a hole as the lectern stand was just a projection that covered up the secret entrance to a abandoned church.
In this abandoned church lectern a book could be found and below it there was a chest with a briefcase.
Cellbit ran around the place until he noticed a sign in one of the chairs that read "4". After looking at the chairs, Cellbit was able to quickly realize this number represented how many warped chairs were in each one of the rows. With this information in mind he was able to get the briefcase and type in the code "2014" and open it. Inside the brief there was a single book:
The Moon and the Sword[]
Cellbit had spent his last night wondering about the last riddle. All of the clues seemed to guide us towards the "Moon", but there was no way to travel there. Even though the voices on his head kept telling him to visit Antoine's Moon, he believed firmly that the answer lied within that room. Desperate he tried to place a book on the lectern with the word "Moon" written on it. While initially nothing seemed to have happened, Richarlyson noticed a small opening that lead to a narrow corridor.
Cellbit dropped down into it and at the end of this corridor lied a WaterFrame with a broken discord link to a video. The title of the video was incomplete and it seemed like the clues to find it nearby. Cellbit quickly noticed that there had to be a connection between the uneven ground of the corridor with the clue he was seeking.
Upon examining the ground and the possibilities of what it could be, he realized it was morse code where every upper floor represented break between lines or dots and every 4 upper blocks represented a space resulting in a code that read MN5.
After running back to the waterframe and completing the link a video with a picture of the moon and some noise was played.
After listening to the audio for a while, Cellbit noticed that something had to be hidden in it's spectrogram and decided to load it into a software so he could see the hidden message.
He noticed that the domino's shown in the spectrogram were split in the middle as if they represented two different coordinates. To get this coordinates he joined both sides of the domino into a number with the domino that summed up to 0 counting as a negative number, giving him the coordinates of -4714 5113.
After arriving there he noticed a familiar dungeon. Initially he though it was just a random dungeon that coincidentally happened to be there but after noticing the weird creatures that spawned there and finding a keycard, he knew he was in the right place. Knowing this could be dangerous for him and Richarlyson, he invited Etoiles to help.
The three started running through out the dungeon collecting keycards and defeating enemies and Cellbit asked Richarlyson to stay behind for his safety. As the two of them continued on their way through the rooms they found a strange looking Richarlyson that turned out to be an impostor Binary Entity. However, it was no match for them as they were able to fend of the waves of enemies it spawned and find the last key with the help of Roier who joined them at the end.
It was now time to use them in a strange layered labyrinth that they had come across with multiple keycard protected doors that were color coded for the different keycards they found.
As they made their way to the last door they found themselves in front of a large drop into a dark room. Once he dropped in there, Cellbit was met with a creeper that blew up the room he was in. However he was able to catch a glimpse of this room during that time. On the wall there was a picture of a broken sword and below it was a Briefcase protected by some bedrock and a reinforced glass block. Under it there was a Notice Board with a book that congratulated a colleague.
Some time later, the picture of the sword, and the two books that could be found here mysteriously appeared inside of his inventory.
It was here where Cellbit hit a roadblock, not sure how to progress he tried to find a solution to bypass the bedrock and the glass to get to the briefcase but to no avail. Soon, lava started flowing down the path they used to enter and they knew it was time to leave.
The Employee of the Month[]
On the day 136, 4th of August 2023, Cellbit was once again contacted by the mysterious entity regarding his investigation. The entity asked Cellbit to gather all the information he had obtained so far and take them to a designated location.
This came to Cellbit's dismay as he didn't had the time to go over all of the clues he had collected so far. He ran inside and decided the best option was to try and use his photographic memory on everything he had collected this far. While he revied the materials, he decided to go with Roier and Richarlyson one last time to the Sword Room that they found the day before just to realize that the briefcase hidden behind the glass had gone missing.
Cellbit finished his mental map with all the information, put everything onto a backpack and made his way to the coordinates. There he found a chest lying on top of a black concrete block with a single book inside.
Upon looking into his map, these coordinates pointed to a location besides his house. Shocked, Cellbit placed the clues inside the chest and created a waypoint to the location. Cellbit though about it and figured that the best option would be to take the clues with him but it was too late, the Backpack inside the chest had gone missing.
He decided to then teleport back to his castle and head to the location where he found an elevator on the ground. He crouched on it to a familiar room below. This room was his office during his time in The Federation. Sitting on his chair, Cucurucho waited for him. Cucurucho looked at him and said "Excellent performance. Thank you for your cooperation." and got up, leaving a present with a personal keycard behind for Cellbit.
Knowing he had been played all this time Cellbit didn't say a word for a long time, remaining in silence until he finally said "I guess this makes me the employee of the month". His grief continued and Richarlyson tried to cheer him up with a hug, but Cellbit felt like he needed some time, so he headed to bed.
