Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 20: Wonderful, that's how it should be

Under normal circumstances, a question must be answered successfully within ten breaths.

However, the topology question in front of Chen Xu, which was said to contain the Taoist theory of yin and yang, actually gave him a full quarter of an hour to answer.

Chen Xu stood on the bright and clear Moon Lake, stunned for a moment.

Topology is a form of thinking that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Many people may have good grades in other fields of mathematics, but they may not necessarily understand topology.

Classic topological enlightenment, such as the Möbius strip.

With its wonderful, twisted continuous deformation and non-orientability, it has become a ring that can never have two boundaries at the same time.

Just like people outside the topology, they can never walk inside and see the scenery inside.

Chen Xu was also a layman in topology in his previous life!
He stood on the lake, telling himself to calm down. His mind began to race, and his powerful spirit caused his memories to resurface.

All the relevant knowledge he had learned in the past was now rumined in his mind.

Spirit, add a little more!
[Spirit: 27+]

Yes, Chen Xu still chose to add a little more spiritual power to help himself.

He didn't think that the time had come yet, but believed that he should first develop his abilities correctly.

But these are his own attribute points. When the time comes to add them, Chen Xu will not hesitate to add them.

As his spirit was strengthened, Chen Xu suddenly felt as if a sea of ​​stars had exploded in his mind in an instant.

The sky is full of bright stars, and every one of them could be his inspiration.

Chen Xu's mind was working at high speed, but he didn't notice that his face turned pale in an instant.

His brain was working at high speed, and at the same time, it was rapidly consuming his body's energy!
Cui Yunqi in the back noticed this, and he found himself feeling a moment of base joy.

But soon he secretly warned himself: Cui Yunqi, Cui Yunqi, if you want to win, you have to win with your own ability. What's the point of being complacent because of his temporary setback?
If the opponent is too weak, there will be no sense of accomplishment in winning.

For example, those students from Jichuan County outside the bamboo forest were all mediocre, and Cui Yunqi was too lazy to even look at them.

For example, the several friends who came to Jichuan with Cui Yunqi this time. Although they are friends, there is a clear gap between these people and Cui Yunqi in terms of academic level in all aspects.

Although Cui Yunqi interacts with many people, he sometimes feels quite lonely.

This is what it means when a piece of music is too high-brow and few people understand it.

Cui Yunqi answered the questions step by step and picked up one little moon after another.

Soon he answered twelve questions correctly in a row and was only one step away from Chen Xu.

These twelve questions are diverse and cover a wide range of topics.

It could be numerology, the interpretation of scriptures, couplets, or poetry.

There was even a rather difficult I Ching quiz, and Cui Yunqi answered all of them fluently.

He also became more and more confident, and the high-spirited attitude he had when he entered the bamboo forest earlier unknowingly returned to him again.

After completing twelve steps, Cui Yunqi was about to bend down to catch the moon to answer the thirteenth question.

Suddenly, a moonlight spirit like a jade plate jumped over and said, "Cui Yunqi, you don't need to pick up the thirteenth question. Your thirteenth question is the same as Chen Xu's."

Cui Yunqi was stunned, and asked in confusion, "The same question? You mean, I have to answer this one too? Then the time..."

"Of course, I'll give you a quarter of an hour, starting from now. Do you want to try? If you can answer this question correctly, you can go see the master."

Cui Yunqi was immediately delighted. He stopped talking nonsense and focused on the questions.

When he first glanced at the question, he thought: This seemingly endless test is finally coming to an end. Chen Xu, standing ahead of him, had pondered for a long time without answering, clearly finding it impossible for him to solve this problem. If Cui Yunqi, a latecomer, could come up with a solution before that humble scholar, wouldn't that just make Mr. Zhou see clearly the gap between people?
But Cui Yunqi's reverie only lasted for a breath. When he saw clearly what the title in front of him said -

No, Cui Yunqi just felt that he couldn’t see the question clearly at all!
Cui Yunqi knew every word of the lines like "In the past, there was a Taoist named Taixu who refined the Yin and Yang jades into a pendant. The Yang jade pendant was shaped like the Li Gua...", but when these words were put together, each one of them was distorted like a monster.

Cui Yunqi couldn't understand it.

He tried to read the question out loud in full to help him understand it better.

But as each word came out of his mouth, he felt as if the language he was uttering was not that of the human world.

How can this be a title?

This is clearly a false disaster sent from the sky, a ghost walking in the endless hell, and a vicious demon in the mortal world.

Cui Yunqi's teeth were chattering and sweat was pouring out.

The cool feeling he had felt when the pill entered his stomach seemed to have turned into molten lava from hell, rushing around in his body and raging wildly.

"No, no, I must see it clearly and understand it clearly!"

"I can't lose, I can't retreat."

"I am Cui Yunqi, the Cui family's Qilin son, Yunjiang's talented man, and a world-renowned talent."

"How could I not understand even one question?"

……

But he just couldn't understand.

Not only did he not understand, he also felt an indescribable earth-shaking sensation in a trance.

It seemed as if the whole world was about to collapse, and war broke out in an instant.

Soldiers and horses came from nowhere and neighed as they broke through Yunjiang City.

There was a ferocious general who looked like an Asura, surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses, laughing and roaring: "In the Yonghui year, the world is in chaos, heroes like us are needed... Hahaha! Kill——"

With a loud bang, the gate of the Cui family was easily broken open by the chaotic soldiers.

Cui Yunqi tried hard to warn himself: "No, that's not right, it's not, all of this is fake, fake, fake!"

The willpower he had cultivated over the years caused a sudden surge of clear energy to arise in his dantian. At the moment the clear energy rushed up, Cui Yunqi tried his best to get rid of the illusion before his eyes.

He widened his eyes, and was about to rejoice at having escaped the illusion, when he suddenly heard someone next to him say, "Student's answer..."

Chen Xu, it’s Chen Xu!

The poor scholar replied, "The Yang pendant has three holes, and the Yin pendant has five pivots. Use the second pivot of the Yin pendant to penetrate the eastern hole of the Yang pendant..."

What is he saying?
Cui Yunqi thought.

He must have answered randomly. He paused for so long and must not have understood the question at all.

Cui Yunqi seemed to have another illusion appearing before his eyes, and his ears were buzzing.

Just as he was struggling to resist the noise, a clear and gentle voice suddenly appeared, like moonlight, and with a smile, it slowly said, "Excellent! This is exactly the answer."

what?
Cui Yunqi didn't seem to react.

A moment later, the Moonlight Elf's clear voice said joyfully, "Ah, Chen Xu, you got it right. Then go forward quickly. The master is waiting for you."

Cui Yunqi could no longer control himself, and a fishy and sweet taste spurted out of his throat.
