What?
The correct answer was a quarter of an hour?
All the students around were stumped.
"How is that possible? How could it be a quarter of an hour? "
"That's impossible!"
"How did you calculate it?"
"Didn't you say eight bowls of rice for eight people? A bowl of rice requires a quarter of an hour. Why is the answer still a quarter of an hour?"
"Could there be something going on behind the scenes?"
Many people started shouting out in dissatisfaction. Some of them even claimed that there was something going on behind the scenes.
Tang Liu Feng was stumped as well as he looked at the answer on the wooden board. He then looked at the question once more as his eyebrows furrowed. At the next moment, he was enlightened as he shouted out, "So that's how it is. I understand now!"
Everyone paused as they looked at Tang Liu Feng.
"Understand? You're from Eastern College, what do you understand? There must be something going on behind the scenes! "Someone laughed out coldly.
Tang Liu Feng was enraged as he replied, "The answer to this question is a quarter of an hour. Brother Li didn't get it wrong. A bowl of rice … "
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing that Tang Liu Feng was about to reveal the answer, Xu Que interrupted him as he spoke out in a serious tone, "Brother Tang, let me be the one to act tough!"
"Act tough? What do you mean by act tough? "Tang Liu Feng was stumped.
Xu Que shook his head and didn't reply. He then looked at the crowd and mocked, "With your low intelligence, you dare to look down on Eastern College? One person needs a quarter of an hour to finish a bowl of rice. Eight people need to eat eight bowls of rice. Isn't that the same as one bowl per person? Why do you need to add more time? I think all of you are just a bunch of rice buckets! "
"..."
The entire crowd fell silent!
Everyone's expressions froze as they were frozen in place!
That's right! One person needs a quarter of an hour to finish a bowl of rice. Eight people need to finish a bowl of rice at the same time. That's also a quarter of an hour …
As they thought of this, many people's faces turned red as they lowered their heads in shame.
Just now, they were also the group of people who shouted the most fiercely. Among them, there were even a few who shouted that there was an inside story. At this moment, they were completely slapped in the face. Their faces were burning hot. This was really a crushing of their intelligence!
Furthermore, the question itself wasn't difficult. If they were given more time to think, they would be able to answer it.
However, it was only ten breaths' time. Moreover, Xu Que had ridiculed them in various ways. Many people were so angry that they dug their own horns and insisted that their answers were correct.
Now that Xu Que had analyzed the answer, they had nothing to say.
Ding! "Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 40 act tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 acting tough points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 70 acting tough points!"
The system notification continued to echo in Xu Que's mind.
At this time, the female attendant looked at Xu Que and said, "My lord, if you are ready, please open the wooden board and begin the second question!"
"Your question is too easy. It's not difficult at all. I'm very disappointed!" Xu Que sighed, but he still reached out to open the wooden board.
Hearing this, everyone's lips twitched.
But this time, no one dared to speak carelessly. They all glared at Xu Que, waiting for him to make a fool of himself before mocking him.
Unfortunately, they couldn't wait for such an opportunity!
As soon as the wooden plaque was lifted, the title on the second wooden plaque appeared before everyone's eyes.
"In a tightly monitored examination, two scholars handed in identical examination papers. After the chief examiner found out, he didn't think that they were cheating. What's the reason for that? "
After reading this question, everyone was shocked.
They handed in the exact same exam papers? But the examiner didn't think that they were cheating?
Was there even a need to think about it? The chief examiner must have been bribed!
Actually, it was not as if these scholars had never encountered such a situation before. When they were in the examination hall, they often saw similar phenomena.
There was no other way!
This was a Xianxia world. Wasn't it easy to cheat?
Of course, the examiners also had many ways to detect cheating, but they still couldn't avoid the endless cheating methods of the scholars. Therefore, in the examination hall, if two papers were found to be identical, they would be punished for cheating. If the chief examiner didn't find out, then according to common sense, he must have been bribed!
Therefore, in the minds of these ordinary scholars, the answer to this question was that the chief examiner had been bribed.
However, before they could open their mouths, Xu Que had already written the answer on the wooden board — "Because they handed in blank papers!"
"..."
Many scholars were about to shout out that the chief examiner had been bribed. But when they saw the answer, they immediately shut their mouths!
The few Xu Que's servants were taken aback. They looked at Xu Que and were a little shocked.
In fact, if one knew the answers to these two questions, they would feel that there was no difficulty at all. All they had to do was think in that direction! But this was where the difficulty of these questions lay. It was so difficult that almost no one could think in that direction in a short period of time.
As for the handsome white-robed youth in front of him, he looked unfamiliar and did not seem like a local. He even mingled with people from one of the worst academies in the Imperial City, the Eastern Academy. Yet, he did not expect his thinking and reflexes to be so outstanding, easily solving two questions.
"This person is not simple. Let's hurry and inform Lady Ya!" The two Xu Que's servants whispered and hurried into the courtyard!
Outside the door, the female servant looked at Xu Que in surprise. She nodded and said, "Congratulations, Young Master, you've answered the second question correctly!"
Xu Que shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, there's nothing to congratulate."
When the crowd heard this, they raised their eyebrows and were slightly stunned. Eh, what's wrong with this guy? Didn't he answer the questions correctly? Why did he suddenly look so down and say that there's nothing to congratulate? Could it be that he doesn't have the confidence to attempt the third question?
Tang Liu Feng was taken aback as well. He had never seen Xu Que look so down before. His heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly asked, "Brother Li, what's wrong? Are you worried about the third question? Don't be nervous. If you can't pass, we can come back to the banquet next time! "
The few servants beside him looked at him suspiciously as they spoke out softly, "Young Master, there's no need to be like this. Although the difficulty of the third question is rather high, with your talent, you might be able to pass it!"
"Ai!"
Xu Que sighed heavily as he placed his hands behind his back and looked up at a 45 degree angle. His entire body exuded an aura of loneliness.
His eyes were squinted as they revealed a sense of loneliness and vicissitudes of life. He then spoke out plainly, "I've roamed the world for many years in search of knowledge and truth. In my entire life, I've been searching for a worthy opponent and yet I've never found one.
I'm truly lonely and unbearable! "As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the crowd and spoke out emotionally," Tell me, why am I so handsome and so smart? Could it be that nobody in this world can stop me? "
…
At that moment, everyone was stumped!
Tang Liu Feng almost fell face first onto the ground!
So this kid wasn't worried about the third question. Instead, he was worried that he was undefeatable?
He's been searching for a worthy opponent and yet he can't find one? Besides being handsome, you're smart? Nobody in this world can stop you?
Fuck me!
Big brother, why don't you ascend to the heavens?
