Chapter 782.2 - Calculations, Greatest Setback of My Life
Chapter 782.2 [Calculations, Greatest Setback of My Life]
“Let’s not compete in things that I’m good at in case you complain that I bully you later, let’s compete with something simple.” The old man suddenly gave an example: “1 times 9 plus 2 equals 11, 12 times 9 plus 3 equals 111…and so on, 123456789 times 9 plus how much equals 1,111,111,111? How about it my friend, I shall give you ten minutes, please calculate it out.”
“This is so simple.” Without batting an eyelid, Yue Yang immediately spelled out the answer, “Plus ten.”
“What?” The old man was stunned.
“Please come up with something harder, I’m sick to death of solving something so shallow like kindergarten level.” The old man was stunned by Yue Yang, whose tone was simply asking for a beating right now.
“How did you figure that out?” The old man did not understand, this was such a troublesome question with so much calculation, how could this kid be able to give the answer at once?
“No explanation.” Yue Yang struck a pose of gazing into the starry skies at a 45 degree angle like a superhero.
“Just now, you were just lucky and managed to guess the correct answer, even if you were a genius, it would be impossible for you to calculate the answer in one second,” the old man firmly believed in his heart, without knowing the correct answer beforehand and calculating by heart, it was impossible to come up with the answer immediately. He resolved to make a few more questions, and strike this arrogant kid in front of him down a few pegs, he pondered slightly in his mind, before tossing out another question, “1 times 1 equals 1, 11 times 11 equals 121, 111,111,111 times 111,111,111 equals how much, answer immediately, don’t spend time to think if you can…….”
“Equivalent to 12345678987654321. “Yue Yang said the answer immediately, without even spending a second to think.
“No way!” the old man was stunned.
“How much does it take to multiply 123456789 into 987654321?” The old man asked incredulously.
“Multiply by 8, then plus 9. “Yue Yang shrugged dashingly, indicating that this was too easy, senior, you can still come up with some more difficult questions, right?
“How do you know the answer? Fei Wen Li that little girl’s test was not at all like mine, these were my questions, how do you know the answer?” The old man was about to lose his mind, if Yue Yang had quickly calculated the answer, that would still be okay, but this kind of coming up with the answer without even thinking was really unacceptable for him.
Of course, the old man didn’t know that before Yue Yang had transmigrated over to this world, he had once read a book on fun math.
Inside there are various number arrangement riddles, as well as various mathematical calculation techniques.
The all-encompassing mathematical arrangement that the old man used to test Yue Yang were all relatively simple and not very complicated. In addition, even if Yue Yang had not read this book, with his current wisdom and mental arithmetic ability, it would not be difficult to calculate, especially with the aid of the two guiding conditions. If he were unable to calculate the answers to these questions, he would be too embarrassed to call himself a transmigrator.
The old man did not know the truth and was quite stunned in his heart, he had not received such a heavy mental blow in his life before.
If his strength was lacking, he could still forget it; but if his intelligence was lacking, then he would really be helpless…..
It took ‘half a day’ for him to recover.
Glancing at Yue Yang, he muttered, “You kid, what a monster, forget it, there’s no point in comparing this with you…you might as well go in and break through by yourself.”
When Yue Yang saw this, he felt a little bit overwhelmed in his heart, and reached out to pat the old man’s shoulder: “Don’t be too sad, for one as smart as me, there is only one in the Tong Tian Tower, you could even say that in the entire Heaven Realm there is only me, and I guess there won’t be a second one either.”
The old man almost fainted after hearing that. Was that supposed to be a consolation? It’s just giving him a bigger blow, right?
If there was a wall in front of him.
He would immediately smash his head in.
Because he was a disgrace to his predecessors.
He quickly opened the teleportation portal on top of the Rain Shelter Pavilion and told this little monster to leave the Rain Valley, the sooner the better, because the longer this monster stayed here, the more inferior he would feel.
“If these topics are the ones that are posed in the stages, then it’s not that hard. Do you know why there are two preconditions before each question? If you can figure this out, you will not be stuck in the seventh stage, unable to pass further,” Yue Yang kindly advised, but the old man was so ashamed. This brat, causing him to get lectured by a junior, although he knew that Yue Yang did not mean to goad him purposely and was actually advising him with a good heart, but he really did not know where to hide his face.
“I’m just a bag of old bones, what breaking stages, you youngsters go break them,” the old man saw that Yue Yang had left the Qilan wine behind and was even more ashamed, this kid looked really unpleasant on the surface, but could be quite touching at times.
“This Rain Shelter Pavilion is clearly subject to you, whether it’s the teleportation portal or the various spatial prohibitions, why did you let Wei Shu and the others go and catch some Lightning Rain Swallows?” Before Yue Yang left, he asked out of curiosity.
“Cough, I’ve stayed here for 20,000 years, how boring would it be if I don’t find some things to amuse myself with,” the old man started to cough without stopping, only this kid knew that the Lightning Rain Swallow was not a condition to break through this stage. For nearly ten thousand years, only this son questioned him about this, even the Prison Emperor many years ago, honestly went to capture a group of lightning rain swallows and led a group of men to pass this stage, not questioning him at all. As for Fei Wenli, that fierce girl, she simply did not listen to any conditions, and had directly pulled out her double blades, pressing them against his neck, forcing him to let her pass.
“I see, the older you get, the more perverted you are,” Yue Yang came to a conclusion.
“You’re the one who’s perverted, no one’s as perverted as you,” the old man raged, cursing in shame.
“Well, before I leave, I would like to know your name, it’s not really called ‘old pervert’ is it?” Yue Yang’s words could make a dead man jump up from his coffin.
“You…..forget it, I won’t lower myself to your level and argue with you…. My name is called ‘Rain Elder’.” The old man peeked at Yue Yang as he gave his name, seemingly wanting to see his shocked and surprised expression.
“Never heard of it.” Who would have expected, Yue Yang reply was one of nonchalance.
“Alas,” the old man had no strength left to be angry, in fact, he already had a feeling that the answer would be this.
“Is it true that if someone passes all ten stages, the sealed people like you can be freed?” Yue Yang finally asked again, but without waiting for the old man to answer, he had already crossed the teleportation portal and disappeared from the Rain Valley.
“With just your strength?” The old man grunted angrily.
But when he thought about it, he thought that there might be such a possibility. This was a monster, different from the others, and was even that little girl Fei Wen Li’s disciple, he might just be able to pass all the stages…..if he really managed to do that, then wouldn’t it mean…..It;s over, looks like misfortune would befall him soon, upon thinking of this, the old man felt a headache creeping up on him, almost wanting to just smash his head onto the stone table.
