"It's good to value boys more than girls."
Ding Qianlie smiled and touched her belly. She was pregnant with a boy.
Ding Ning, "…"
Siya, "…"
"Ahem, since everyone agrees with me, it's settled. Now, let's start the second round."
Xue Nakui directly kidnapped everyone with his words and announced directly without asking Ding Ning's opinion.
Some people couldn't stand it anymore and complained in a low voice to vent their inner dissatisfaction, but they just said it behind their backs. It was absolutely impossible for them to stand out and face the anger of the Zhou family.
Ding Ning looked at Zhou Haoqian calmly and said, "Go on, choose your best skill. Don't play tricks after losing. Remember, I can tolerate some things once, but don't do it again. Otherwise, you can't bear the consequences."
Zhou Haoqian's face turned red. Although he ignored his conscience and tacitly accepted the first round as a draw, he knew clearly who would win and who would lose.
But Ding Ning's threatening tone made him very unhappy. He felt that he had lost face in front of his goddess, so he immediately snorted and said, "I admit that I underestimated you before, but what if you play the piano well …"
"It seems that you chose the piano competition, didn't it? Now don't talk so much nonsense. Hurry up and tell me what to compete next. The sooner we compete, the sooner we finish. Don't waste my precious time. "
Ding Ning interrupted him impatiently.
"You …"
Zhou Haoqian had wanted to say something polite, but he was speechless after hearing Ding Ning's words. His face turned red, and after thinking for a long time, he snorted and said, "Next, let's compete in mental calculation."
"Mental calculation?"
Ding Ning frowned and looked a little absent-minded, because he remembered that his sister once said that his mother's mental calculation was unparalleled in the world, but he didn't seem to inherit her talent.
Seeing Ding Ning frown, Zhou Haoqian suddenly became spirited and found his lost confidence again. He said proudly, "What? Don't you dare? If you don't dare, you can ask for another one. I don't care. "
Ding Qianlie pulled the corner of Ding Ning's clothes and said eagerly, "How about I compete this round? My mother's mental calculation is unparalleled in the world. She taught me when I was a child. Although I can't compare with my mother, I should have no problem to beat him."
Ding Ning came to his senses and patted her hand. He shook his head with a smile and said, "I was distracted because I thought of my mother. Do you really think your man is impotent? Besides, this is a battle between men, why should women get involved? "
Ding Qianlie rolled her eyes coquettishly and pouted. "You value boys more than girls."
"Don't you like that I value boys more than girls?"
Ding Ning teased.
"I … hmph! I can't be bothered with you. "
Ding Qianlie had nothing to say, so she pretended to be angry and turned her head away.
Seeing that they were flirting with each other as if there was no one else around and ignoring him, Zhou Haoqian's eyes turned red with jealousy. He shouted with a black face, "If you don't dare to compete, just say it. I'll allow you to change the competition."
"There's no need. Since I've said it, I will make you sincerely convinced. No matter what you want to compete in today, I will accompany you to the end."
Ding Ning slowly took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. With a snap, Ding Qianlie and Siya, one on the left and one on the right, lit the cigarette for him at the same time.
There was no need to mention Ding Qianlie. She was peerlessly beautiful and was shrouded in the halo of the business goddess. Her strong queen's aura made ordinary people unable to have any improper thoughts.
Siya, who was next to him, was also a great beauty with picturesque eyebrows. Her light purple evening dress made her skin whiter than snow, and her figure was slender and graceful. Putting aside her identity and aura, in terms of appearance, she was not inferior to Ding Qianlie.
These two beauties, who could be called the most beautiful women in the world, rushed to light the cigarette for Ding Ning. How could others not be envious? They wished they could replace them and enjoy the two beauties' consideration and solicitude?
Zhou Haoqian's face was extremely ugly. Siya was beautiful but not to his taste, but Ding Qianlie was the goddess he yearned for day and night. As far as he knew, she usually did not smoke at all, but now she carried a lighter with her. It was self-evident that she must have specially prepared it for someone. How could he not be heartbroken?
Siya did not expect that Ding Qianlie would also take out a lighter. She withdrew her hand embarrassedly, and her heart was in a mess. As if her mind had been seen through, she avoided Ding Qianlie's eyes with her flickering eyes, and even her crystal clear ears turned pink with shame.
Ding Qianlie also did not expect that Siya would carry a lighter with her. She gave her a meaningful look and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
Now it was Ding Ning's turn to be embarrassed. He had intended to light the cigarette with the lighter, but both lighters had been withdrawn, which made him flinch a lot. He could only find a way out of the embarrassing situation and said with a hollow smile, "I just wanted to smell it and didn't intend to smoke it."
But he was slightly surprised in his heart. If he was right, the ZOPO lighter in Siya's hand was his. The reason why he was impressed was that this ZOPO was a little memorable.
It was when he first met Qiao Qiao in college. She was being harassed by a few hooligans, and he beat them away to save her. The Zopo was dropped by one of the hooligans, and Qiao Qiao picked it up and gave it to him.
Because of this memorable significance, he almost never left this ZOPO. Some time ago, he could not find it everywhere, and he thought it had fallen in the Kunpeng World. He did not expect that it was in Siya's hands.
He did not think that Siya stole it. Not to mention that no one could steal from him without being discovered by him, even if she could steal it, how could she be stupid enough to expose the stolen goods in front of him?
Then how did this lighter fall into Siya's hands and be carried by her? This was somewhat intriguing.
Ding Ning glanced at Siya with a deep meaning, looking at her shy look, he could not help but feel a burst of ripples in his heart.
Siya was one of the female slaves he had rescued from Nian Nu Jiao, but unlike the other female slaves, she was not from a weak race, nor was she from the Demon Clan of the Ten Thousand Demon Territory. Instead, she was a wild Demon Clan hunted by the Slave Hunters from the Great Wasteland.
As for what race she was, even she did not know. She only remembered that after eating a strange fruit by mistake, she transformed into a human form, thus giving birth to spiritual wisdom, and her strength directly skyrocketed to the peak of the Great Monster Race. Unexpectedly, as soon as she transformed into a human form, she was caught by the slave hunters and sent to Nian Nujiao, who was waiting for a good price, and was saved by Ding Ning.
After Ding Ning modified her genes, her cultivation directly broke through to the late stage of Monster King. Her potential and aptitude were absolutely second to none in the Monster Race.
"Then let's start."
Zhou Haoqian had never hated a person so much in his life. Ding Ning's attitude of not putting him in his eyes completely angered him. With a gloomy face, he ordered people to prepare the props for the mental arithmetic competition.
Soon, the staff of the club connected to the Internet and turned on the LCD screen that occupied an entire wall.
Xue Nakui acted as the host and judge. Holding the microphone, he pointed to the screen and said the rules of the competition, "Now, let's enter the second round of the competition. The rules of the mental arithmetic competition are very simple. We will randomly select 100 questions from the international mental arithmetic question bank. The time limit is five minutes. The one who can solve the most questions within five minutes with the highest correct rate will be the winner. Do you understand?"
"I have an opinion. I want to change the way of the competition!"
Zhou Haoqian raised his voice and said with a determined and confident look on his face.
At his age, he was able to manage most of the businesses of the Zhou Family and did it very well. He was praised as a rare business genius in a hundred years, which was inseparable from his natural sensitivity to numbers.
What few people knew was that he had participated in the International Speed Calculation Competition since he was 16 years old and had won the International Speed Calculation Celebrity Championship for three consecutive years. He was praised as a super mental arithmetic master.
It was not until his fourth year, when he was 19 years old, that he lost to the genius prodigy from France, Smail, who was known as the "Little Newton", by one question.
Since then, he had never participated in any mental arithmetic competition, which made many mental arithmetic enthusiasts sigh. They thought that he had lost his confidence to Smail and did not even dare to participate in the competition.
Facing all kinds of rumors and slanders, he was calm and did not defend himself. He just let people talk and speculate.
In fact, he refused to participate in the competition because he had started to gradually take over the family business and did not have time to participate in the competition.
Mental arithmetic was just a hobby for him. It was not as important as the family business.
However, this did not mean that he was convinced by Smail. It was just that he did not have time to participate in the competition and also felt that it was not worth it.
After all, he was a few years older than Smail. There was no glory in winning, and it would be more embarrassing if he lost.
However, although he had not participated in any mental arithmetic competition since then, he had never given up his interest in mental arithmetic. Whenever he had free time, he would take out questions from the international mental arithmetic question bank and test himself.
Just two days ago, he tested his mental arithmetic speed. He solved 62 questions in five minutes, and the correct answer rate reached an amazing 100%.
This result was undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to the 59 questions in five minutes when he was defeated by Smail. On average, he solved one question in eight seconds, which was basically the same as the Guinness World Record holder who solved eight questions in one minute.
He was confident that even if he faced Smail again, he might not be able to defeat him.
"Oh, do you have any suggestions, Childe Zhou?"
Xue Nakui was here to protect Zhou Haoqian, so he naturally would not ignore his suggestion. He asked with a smile.
"I suggest that we set a time limit for each of the 100 questions. Let's set it at one minute."
Zhou Haoqian looked at Ding Ning provocatively and said proudly.
"What? Time limit for reading questions? Isn't it too difficult? If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to remember a single question. "
"Oh my god, where does Childe Zhou get the confidence to make such a difficult suggestion? It seems that he is quite confident in his memory."
"Normal mental arithmetic competitions are all about looking at the questions and solving them. But with Childe Zhou's suggestion, the difficulty has increased exponentially."
"Yes, this kind of competition requires not only a strong mental arithmetic ability, but also a strong memory. Even if the lad's mental arithmetic level is not low, if he can't remember the questions, it will be a waste of time."
"It seems that the lad is bound to lose this round. Since Childe Zhou dares to make such a request, it shows that he is very confident in his memory."
"I originally thought that Childe Zhou was a spoiled brat who relied on his family background. Now it seems that he is the real dragon among men."
…
There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone was shocked, and their faces were flushed with excitement. They discussed and changed their impression of Zhou Haoqian from disdain to admiration and admiration.
After all, every number in the international mental arithmetic question bank was at least 15 digits. An ordinary person would be considered to have a good memory if they could remember one or two questions, let alone a hundred questions.
Listening to everyone's praise and admiration, Zhou Haoqian was full of pride. It seemed that his impromptu decision was right. He immediately reversed the situation and diluted the dissatisfaction caused by the unfairness of the first round.
