In fact, even for him, it was impossible to remember a hundred questions in a minute. It would be very good if he could remember one-third of them.
But in order to make the goddess look at him differently, he had a brainwave and boldly put forward the suggestion of increasing the difficulty.
Although he could only remember more than 30 questions, he felt that it was enough. Anyway, he was not going to break the Guinness World Record. It was enough to trample that annoying guy under his feet.
"This … Isn't the difficulty a little too high?"
Xue Nakui was also surprised. Although he had confidence in Zhou Haoqian, he was afraid that Zhou Haoqian would shoot himself in the foot. So, he still looked embarrassed and reminded him tactfully.
After all, this game was not like playing the piano. He could pester endlessly with the excuse that he did not understand music, and finally judge the two sides as a tie.
This was a mental arithmetic competition in public. The result would be very clear in front of everyone. If he lost, even if he was thick-skinned, he would not dare to distort the truth in public.
"This … I don't know how to call you? What do you think of this competition? If you think it is too difficult, I can reluctantly reduce the difficulty. "
Zhou Haoqian ignored him, looked at Ding Ning, and said hypocritically, but his eyes flashed with complacency.
Whether Ding Ning agreed or not, he had achieved the expected goal. If he agreed, the opponent would lose very badly; if he didn't agree, he would win and slap the opponent in the face. Who asked him to be so arrogant and say that he would accept any challenge?
Ding Ning held an unlit cigarette in his mouth and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He did not answer immediately, but frowned and thought there, seeming to be weighing the pros and cons.
"Indeed, this kind of competition is very difficult. It is a great test of memory. If you think you can't do it …"
Zhou Haoqian became more complacent and talked incessantly. The meaning of his words was nothing more than to elevate himself and belittle Ding Ning.
"What is my name? You are not qualified to know."
Ding Ning suddenly stretched his eyebrows and interrupted him rudely. He directly ignored his livid face and turned to look at Xue Nakui. "Since he can give suggestions, can I also give suggestions?"
"Of course!"
Xue Nakui subconsciously glanced at Zhou Haoqian. After a little hesitation, he answered straightforwardly. He wanted to refuse, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, he could not be too obvious in his favoritism.
However, he was prepared. If Ding Ning's suggestion was detrimental to Zhou Haoqian, he would not agree.
Zhou Haoqian secretly glanced at Ding Qianlie, whose face was full of worry, and his face darkened. Thinking that she was worried about that guy, he felt even more jealous.
But on second thought, since that brat had raised an objection to the method of the competition, it meant that he admitted that he was inferior to her. She couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on her face. She decided to wait for him to raise a suggestion to reduce the difficulty, then she would properly ridicule him and make him embarrass himself in front of everyone.
"A hundred questions is too little. At least two hundred questions. The time taken to memorize the questions is too long. How can it take a minute? Half a minute will do."
Ding Ning's words were earth-shattering, making the noisy scene fall into a dead silence. Some people rubbed their ears in disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Nani?
Two hundred questions? The reading time was reduced to half a minute? What kind of joke was this?
It should be noted that the lowest number of each question in the question bank would not be less than fifteen digits. It was a problem whether one could finish reading the questions, let alone memorizing two hundred questions in half a minute.
"Hehe, I knew it … Uh!"
Zhou Haoqian was about to ridicule him, but the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat like a duck being strangled by its neck. His face turned red, as if he had seen a ghost.
What did this guy mean? Not only did he not ask to reduce the difficulty, but he even took the initiative to increase the difficulty? Did he have enough confidence, or did he have other ideas?
Zhou Haoqian felt that he was about to go crazy. He looked at Ding Ning, who looked calm and composed, in surprise and doubt, and secretly guessed his intentions.
Zhou Junxiong stood on the second floor, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Ding Ning condescendingly, trying to figure out his intentions.
"Humph, I didn't expect that this guy is really cunning."
His wife, Jia Min, suddenly curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Junxiong looked at his wife in confusion, not knowing why she said that.
Zhou Haokun and Jenica also looked curiously at her, waiting for her answer.
Jia Min had a knowing sneer on her face as she said decisively, "We all know Qian 'er's mental calculation ability. Even if that guy doesn't know, he definitely knows that he is no match for Qian' er. So, since he is going to lose, he might as well throw caution to the wind and increase the difficulty to the highest. This way, even if he will definitely lose, he will not lose too badly. After all, the difficulty is too high. Also, if he is lucky and Qian 'er loses his composure because of the increased difficulty, once he makes a mistake, maybe he can take advantage of the situation and win this competition by luck."
Hearing this, Zhou Junxiong revealed a look of understanding and nodded his head in deep thought, "It is still Madam who is wise to see through his little thoughts with one look. Haha, this little fellow has miscalculated. How would Gan 'er be someone who would mess up his own plans."
Zhou Haokun and Jenica looked at each other. Did that guy really want to take advantage of the situation like Mother said? They had reservations about this.
After all, Ding Ning's performance was too calm, so calm that it was as if he was filled with confidence that he would definitely win. He did not look like he wanted to take advantage of the situation at all.
However, the one competing with him was their elder brother. This was a matter of position. Even if they had different opinions, they did not dare to easily express it or else they would definitely be scolded.
They did not notice the thick disdain that flashed through the eyes of the black-clothed bodyguards behind them.
It was only two hundred questions in half a minute. Not to mention the Marshal, even they could easily remember all of them.
What a joke. They were all experts who had opened up their Palace of Knowledge. Photographic memory was only the most basic use of the Divine Sense. As long as they wanted to remember something, they would never forget it.
Even if Zhou Haoqian was a martial artist, he was only a weakling in the Earth Martial Arts Realm. In their eyes, he was no different from a normal person. In any case, he was an existence that could be killed with one slap.
So, these bodyguards who had been sold by Ding Ning for money were full of schadenfreude, waiting to see Zhou Haoqian make a fool of himself.
Although the Zhou Family respected them very much, served them well, and never treated them as servants, the Marshal was their belief. Whoever dared to insult the Marshal was their enemy.
If Ding Ning had not asked them not to act rashly for the sake of the reputation of Qingyun Security Company, they would have directly destroyed the Zhou Family. They dared to plot against the First Young Mistress. If it was not courting death, then what was it?
In fact, the Zhou Family was also used to being arrogant. After Ding Ning appeared, he directly slapped the Zhou Family in the face and destroyed their plan to annex Shengtang Medical Company, making them so angry that they disdained to investigate his identity. Otherwise, if they knew that he was the Little Miracle-working Doctor, they would not have such an attitude.
It had to be said that people who were not from the same family would not enter the same door. After Jia Min saw through Ding Ning's "little trick", Zhou Haoqian also thought the same as her and firmly believed that this was the truth.
So, Zhou Haoqian smiled, and his smile was full of playfulness.
Real gold was not afraid of fire. He was full of confidence in his mental arithmetic ability. Even if the difficulty increased, he still firmly believed that he would definitely win in the end.
"No problem. Since you want to increase the difficulty, I will accompany you to the end."
Zhou Haoqian saw the hesitation on Xue Nakui's face and knew that he was hesitating, so he immediately waved his hand and said in a heroic manner.
"Since both sides have no objection, the competition officially starts. Now, let's randomly choose the questions."
Seeing that Zhou Haoqian had expressed his position, Xue Nakui immediately picked up the microphone and announced loudly.
The staff of the club immediately moved the mouse and began to randomly choose the questions.
After a dazzling flash of numbers on the big screen, a compressed package was finally opened, showing that it was question group 29.
An imperceptible joy flashed in Zhou Haoqian's eyes. His luck was really good. It seemed that God was helping him.
Number 29 was the group he chose when he took the test two days ago. If it had been a long time, he might have forgotten it. But now, hehe, he still remembered at least eight of the questions.
This meant that he didn't need to look at the eight questions in half a minute of memorizing the questions, which was equivalent to saving the time of memorizing the eight questions.
At this time, the staff of the club brought paper and pens and distributed them to Ding Ning and Zhou Haoqian respectively. Later, they only needed to write down the number of the questions and the answers in order on the paper.
"Are you ready?"
Xue Nakui found a stopwatch out of nowhere and asked with a kind face.
Of course, the person he asked was Zhou Haoqian. He hoped that Ding Ning was not ready.
"Yes!"
Zhou Haoqian nodded, indicating that he was ready.
"One, two, three, please look at the questions. The time starts."
Xue Nakui counted the seconds in a serious manner and pressed the stopwatch on time. He really looked like a host.
The big screen flickered, and a large number of questions appeared.
Even a lion would try its best to catch a rabbit. Although Zhou Haoqian had the confidence to win, he still stared at the big screen nervously and concentrated on memorizing the questions.
On the other hand, Ding Ning was completely different. He still looked lazy, with a cigarette in his mouth. He just casually glanced at the big screen and no longer paid attention to it. The pen in his hand spun on his fingers, and he was almost playing with it.
"Did that guy give up? He just glanced at it and then stopped looking at the questions. "
"Ah, of course. Mental arithmetic was proposed by Childe Zhou. It must be his strength. Although this young man plays the piano very well, it is impossible that he is also good at mental arithmetic."
"That's true. This kind of competition is unfair. The young man deliberately increased the difficulty to make trouble for Childe Zhou. In fact, I'm afraid he has already planned to give up."
"That's for sure. Ah, it's a pity. It should have been a tie, but because … Ahem, now the young man will lose a game first."
"The weak can't beat the strong. This can't be helped. Let's just watch the fun. Don't get into trouble."
"This is the reality. It's a pity that the young man plays the piano really well."
"What's the use of playing the piano well? At most, he is just a pianist. It sounds very prestigious, but it is nothing in the eyes of the Zhou family. "
"Not to mention the Zhou family, even in our eyes, a pianist is nothing."
"That's true. Some time ago, my old man celebrated his birthday. My unfilial son specially invited the recently popular pianist to play the piano to liven things up. Damn, I didn't expect that guy to put on airs and refuse to come. My son directly slapped a five million check on his face, and the guy immediately ran over like a grandson."
"That's because you are too low-key. If he knew your net worth, I can guarantee that he would take the initiative to celebrate the old man's birthday even if he didn't want a penny."
"Haha, Mr. Qian really thinks too highly of me. As a person, I think it's better to be low-key …"
