Everyone who was making their way toward the entrance of the palace turned to look at Fitch with incredulity in their eyes. As Erma's favorite disciple, Fitch had always been groomed by Erma as his successor.
With the support of Erma, the number one arithmetical prodigy in the Roth Empire, Fitch's future was limitless. He was going to be the brightest star in the academic world, and he was going to have the support of countless others.
However, such an enviable young man was now going to learn the decimal system from Meg?
Meg and his daughter had just given the conservative faction a resounding slap to the face, yet Fitch was going to join them in the blink of an eye?
This was no different from destroying one's own future. In the world of arithmetic in the Roth Empire, anyone who offended Erma and the others would never be able to rise again as there would be countless pairs of feet waiting to trample on them.
Aside from surprise, the conservative faction was also enraged. Fitch's actions were tantamount to betrayal, and they were unable to accept this.
Even the revolutionaries were looking at Fitch with perplexed expressions.
The revolutionaries had won some ground due to Meg and his daughter, but the hexadecimal system had been prevalent in the human race for several decades, so the decimal system was definitely going to take some time to popularize. Was Fitch really going to give up on his bright future?
Erma, who had just reached the entrance of the palace, harrumphed coldly before exiting without even looking back.
"His academic career is over."
The conservative faction looked at Fitch with wistful expressions before also exiting the palace. Some of them were even gloating over his misfortune.
Meg looked at Fitch for a while before shaking his head, and saying, "I'm sorry, but I don't accept students. If you want to learn arithmetic, you can look for Master Byron. He's more professional than I am; I'm just a chef who doesn't know arithmetic."
Fitch shook his head with a firm expression as he said, "No, I just want to learn from you. I want to learn the method she used to calculate a two-digit multiplication in less than half a minute. I don't care what my master does or who he is. Knowledge doesn't change because of people. What feels different is the human heart. "
Meg looked at Fitch's determined expression and pure eyes, and was silent for a while before shaking his head. "I'm not taking any disciples. I'm going back to Chaos City tomorrow. If you really want to learn the decimal system and multiplication, you can join the revolutionaries. If you have any questions, you can write to me."
"Deal!" Fitch's eyes lit up as he bowed deeply towards Meg.
A smile appeared on Mag's face as he nodded. "It's a deal."
Fitch turned around and walked towards Byron, humbly conversing with him. He could tell that Byron was in a good mood.
"Father, didn't Amy do a great job?" Amy raised her little head, her little face full of praise.
Meg smiled and nodded. "Yes, Xiao Mi did very well. Her arithmetic is already better than those old grandpas."
"That's right. Little Amy beat the best arithmetic prodigy in Rodu today! You did very well!" Luna made her way over to Amy, and gave her a thumbs-up.
"Heehee."
Amy was elated to be praised by both Meg and Luna. She swung Meg's arm from side to side, and whispered into his ear, "Father, put me down. I'm going to play hide and seek with Ugly Duckling over there. I won't disturb your conversation with Teacher Luna."
Meg didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he put Amy down onto the ground. He didn't know what she was thinking.
Luna took a glance at Fitch before turning to Meg with a smile, and said, "Fitch is an extremely talented person. Aren't you going to consider taking him as your disciple?"
Meg shook his head with a smile, and said, "I'm a chef, not a teacher. If he's a cooking prodigy, perhaps I'll consider it."
Luna couldn't help but chuckle, and said, "It's a good thing you didn't say that in front of them. Otherwise, there would definitely be a lot of people who would want to beat you up."
Meg's sharp words had slightly upended his gentle and kind image in her heart, but that didn't make her feel uncomfortable in the slightest. Instead, she felt as if she was getting to know him better. A man like that made her feel more secure.
Meg chatted with Luna for a while longer about promoting the decimal system, and he turned around to discover that Amy had disappeared. He hurriedly apologized to Luna before quickly making his way toward the place where Amy had been playing.
After circling around the stone pillars, Meg was still unable to find Amy, and he was starting to get a little panicked.
"There's a door here. Could Amy have gone out through here?" Luna was also looking around anxiously when she suddenly discovered a small door that was slightly ajar on the side of the hall. She turned to Meg with a question.
"I'll go take a look." Meg quickly made his way over to the small door, which was just wide enough for Amy and Ugly Duckling to pass through. She couldn't be found anywhere in the hall, so it was most likely that she had chased Ugly Duckling out through this small door.
After exiting the hall through the side door, they were greeted by the sight of a cluster of domed buildings. Evergreen trees littered the halls, and there was not a single person in sight.
"Amy! Amy! "
Meg yelled as he looked around. There were simply too many buildings and trees here, and if Amy were to get lost, she would definitely panic. Furthermore, if something were to happen to her, he wouldn't be able to get there immediately, and that made him feel very uneasy.
"Don't worry, Mr. Meg. The church's priests are all kind and gentle people, and little Amy is so smart. She'll be fine." Luna followed him out of the hall. She looked at the nervous Meg, and consoled him, "Let's look around first. If we still can't find her, I'll ask Grandfather to negotiate with the church and ask them to help us find her."
"Alright." Meg nodded. He walked in a direction and scanned his surroundings with a sharp gaze. At the same time, he said in his mind, "System, locate Amy for me."
"My apologies, Host. The system doesn't provide personal location services." The system's old-fashioned voice sounded, but it quickly turned into a playful one. "However, the system can provide you with a location watch service. Worried that your child will get lost? Worried that you won't be able to find your child? Don't worry! Little Genius Phone Watch will solve all your problems!
"No matter where you are, I can find you immediately with just a phone call. Hello! I can find you with just a phone call, I can find you with just a phone call … "
"Scram!" Meg's brows were tightly knitted together as he listened to the repeated advertisements in his mind.
After looking around for more than ten minutes and going through several halls, Meg still couldn't find Amy, and his expression became even more serious.
"Why don't …"
Luna also looked a little anxious, and she walked up to him and was about to say something.
"Meow ~"
Just then, a soft meow of a cat came from the side.
"It's Ugly Duckling!"
Meg's gaze immediately turned to the majestic hall on his right. The thick wooden door, which was five or six meters tall, was tightly shut, but he was sure that the meow of the cat had come from there.
Meg quickly walked up and pushed open the two thick doors. He looked inside and was stunned.
