MASK EMPIRE Puzzle DAY 01.08

 Greetings esteemed participants of the Musk Empire game. For those seeking to claim their daily bonus, the rewards for completing missions vary for each player based on the level of their Empire. Today, I am pleased to reveal the encrypted message hidden within our latest puzzle of the Day. This rebus features two distinct items: a beach umbrella and a diamond ring. As we embark on this challenge, let us first focus on the beach umbrella, symbolizing a tranquil seaside retreat or perhaps even the entire resort itself. With summer in full swing, our dedicated admins are well-versed in the theme at hand. The key to solving this puzzle lies in deciphering the first word. While the umbrella may not hold the answer, could the beach be the missing piece? By removing the initial letter and substituting x for a, we unveil the word "exchange." Moving on to the second object, the ring, we can add a suffix and replace the first two letters with «ange» to reveal the word «exchange» once more. The solution has been unveiled, showcasing the importance of careful observation and deduction in our quest for success.

Answer 1.8: exchange
