Tokyo Sound

"Exactly."

"Sorry, I didn't expect that you were born... so, uh, Meng Lang, so I didn't connect the dots." Shan Liusheng Qinghua looked the man up and down.

"Top students who have good grades and can speak foreign languages ​​fluently are not necessarily introverted and honest people wearing glasses. This is just wishful thinking of you ordinary people." The man folded his arms elegantly.

Silence permeated the desk.

"I can't believe it." said the girl who exuded coldness.

"But this is the fact..." the man said aggrievedly.

"Let your strength speak for itself." The study committee member took out a thick book from somewhere, and his expression changed significantly for the first time. It was a strong fighting spirit. "If it's too monotonous, we can make a bet. If I lose..."

"There's no need for prizes. Why should such healthy competition be so tacky?" The dean intervened rudely, interrupting his granddaughter.

Chapter 124: Complete Defeat

"Digital calculation, spatial imagination, logical reasoning ability, cognitive ability, thinking ability, language ability, observation ability, calculation ability, rhythmic ability... You can choose any one as the theme of the competition. Or you can discuss fixed propositions, such as the concept and nature of time, the mystery under the gate of quarks, the source of cosmic energy, whether the speed of light can be broken, whether spiritual technology can surpass material technology..."

Shan Liusheng Qinghua seemed to be full of confidence. The thick book that could kill people was slammed on the table with a dull sound. The title on the cover was "God's Domain: 30,000 Solutions to Wisdom". The study committee member exuded an extremely strong aura of self-confidence and oppression, which was the temperament cultivated by long-term victories. Behind her, even three heads and six arms appeared vaguely, and their faces were lifelike. They were Lao Ai with a sticking tongue, Lao Niu with curly hair, and Lao Pu with glasses.

I don’t know how powerful it is!

As the saying goes, if you lose the battle, you lose the people first. The man, who is essentially a college student, couldn't help but feel guilty and unsure when seeing this.

"Who exactly is this granddaughter of yours?" Yin Ze asked quietly in a low voice.

"She always compares herself to Murasaki Shikibu [Note: a Japanese female writer in the Heian period, one of the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry, whose main work is The Tale of Genji] and Sei Shonagon [Note: a Japanese female writer in the Heian period, one of the Thirty-six Immortals of Poetry, who is known as one of the three great women of the Heian period together with Murasaki Shikibu and Izumi Shikibu. She served as a lady-in-waiting to Empress Fujiwara no Sadako of Emperor Ichijo. Her main work is The Pillow Book]. Her talent is immeasurable." Yamayagiri Nobuobu said while shaking his head proudly while talking about his granddaughter.

"Although I am not very talented, I have read history. These two girls are role models of female poets and have made great contributions to the Japanese literary world. How could your granddaughter compare herself to them?" Yin Ze frowned in shock.

"Don't listen to your grandfather's nonsense. I'm not that arrogant." Shan Liusheng Qinghua said lightly.

"In fact, in my opinion, they should not be compared with these two. I want to recommend two others." The dean of studies murmured to himself.

"Which two?" Yin Ze asked quickly.

"Izanagi, who created the island 70,000 years ago during the last ice age, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who ended the Warring States period and ruled the world until today!" The dean's words were fierce and the content was exaggerated.

"Oh my God!" Yin Ze exclaimed with a pale face.

"It's a pity that there is no shielding function in real life. Since he's my grandfather, it's not easy to block him physically." The study committee member tried her best to endure their disconnection. Her snowflake-like temperament was shaky. She took a few deep breaths and continued, "I'm just an ordinary girl with a wide range of interests and a love of reading. Getting admitted to Tokyo University has been my first stage goal in life since elementary school. My lifelong pursuit is to contribute to the human race's exit from the Milky Way. Due to my age, I have achieved very little so far. For example, I founded the campus English corner, worked at the radio station for a long time to read classics and ancient Chinese texts, and won the first prize in the national essay competition and the gold medal in the 27th 'Tianxing Cup' Mathematical Olympiad..."

"How diligent! Compared with you, the grandfather next to you with hair loss is like a jackdaw compared to a phoenix, and the glow of rotten grass compared to the bright moon in the sky." Yin Ze was moved. "I am also a commoner, living in a small house, making a living in society with a salary, and not seeking fame and fortune. My achievements are also not bad. I have won the top eight of the Chinatown Online Mahjong Tournament, the third place in the 1A group of Tokyo rd District Yo-Yo, and the Xinghai Community's 'Iron Window Cup' doubles encouragement award... [Note: This paragraph is adapted from Zhuge Liang's "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital"]"

"You guys are so awesome. I've also been recognized as an outstanding neighbor by the street for volunteering in the community, and I even received 300 likes during the audition stage for an online homemade food event." Uchida Maaya felt inferior to me.

"Ah, I heard that, each of you has unique skills." The dean of studies agreed.

"Okay, after saying so much, are we going to compete or not?" Shan Liusheng Qinghua asked again.

"I don't care. It's all fine. As long as you're happy." Yin Ze sighed.

"The old three, Chinese, math and English." Shan Liusheng Qinghua thought for a few seconds, "Let's take the Chinese test first. It takes too much time to write an essay on the spot. How about this, we'll see who has the richest knowledge. Based on the high school textbook, we'll pick out an ancient article to recite, and the one who is proficient in it will win. Who's in favor, who's against?"

"I don't care. Anything is fine. As long as you are happy." Yin Ze was delighted when he heard that.

"I object!" The dean thought to himself, what's the point of this competition? He immediately stretched out his hand to dissuade them, saying loudly, "What kind of hero is it to memorize by rote!"

"Your grandfather was a history teacher, yet he still said such things." Shan Liusheng Qinghua was dissatisfied, "History is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations. Those classics that have been passed down through the ages can be read and recited as many times as necessary! It's decided, let's compare it to this."

"Okay, okay. As for the prize..." Yin Ze wanted to earn some game coins happily, but he felt the vigilance and vicious gaze of a Mediterranean old man, so he had to shut up.

"How about Natsume-sensei's 'I Am a Cat'?" suggested Kiyomi Yamayagiri.

"Yes." The man said reservedly.

"It's not convenient for you to be each other's contestants. So, let me mark out the recitation areas." Shan Liu Shengxin suddenly said.

"Alright." Shan Liusheng Qinghua nodded, "Then I'll go first."

The dean of studies took out his cell phone. As an intellectual, he must have stored Natsume Soseki's works. He quickly opened the book search function and pondered over the original text for a while. "Then, granddaughter, memorize the first paragraph of the first section."

"Is it so easy to get started?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"What do you know? The confrontation should be from easy to difficult, only then there will be excitement and rhythm." The old man snorted.

"I see. You are worthy of being the director. You even thought of the show effects." Yin Ze admired him.

"I'm a cat. I don't have a name yet." Shan Liusheng Qinghua finished this short sentence smoothly.

"Okay, it's your turn." The dean looked at someone seriously.

"Come on." Yin Ze was quite confident.

The dean glanced at him, pretended to be confused and hummed for a few seconds, and then said something shocking, "Please tell me, what is the second punctuation mark at the beginning of the fifth paragraph of the third section?"

The man almost vomited blood, extremely shocked, "No, can you still smoke like this?!"

"I've already explained it to you. Start from the difficult and then move on to the easy." The dean of studies feigned surprise and exclaimed.

"But isn't this a huge jump?!"

"Instead of questioning the fairness of the referee, it is better to answer the question immediately and stop hesitating, which will distract everyone's attention. I'll give you three seconds, and I'll add two more seconds because we're familiar with each other. Also, the extra two seconds have passed while I'm saying these words, so 3, 2..." The dean spoke as fast as a bullet.

"Period! It's a period!" Yin Ze said loudly.

"Well, even if it was a guess, the attitude was still very good and the competitive spirit is worthy of praise." The dean of studies smiled, looked down at his phone, and then the smile gradually disappeared.

A few seconds later, the Mediterranean old man raised his head and continued as if nothing had happened, "Granddaughter, you recite the first sentence of the second paragraph of the first section."

"Hey, wait, why did the difficulty drop again?" Yin Ze was puzzled.

"Have you ever ridden a roller coaster in an amusement park?" Shan Liu Shengxin asked deeply.

“I sat with a friend.”

"Have you ever encountered bugs caused by numerical inflation when playing games?" Shan Liu Shengxin asked again.

"Naturally there is."

"That's right. Have you ever seen a roller coaster that goes straight up without falling? Wouldn't that lead to the moon? It's the same with games. If you keep increasing the difficulty, it will eventually collapse. So we also have to follow the principle of ups and downs. I believe that with your IQ you can understand my painstaking efforts." Shan Liushengxin said gently.

It's hard to say how well-intentioned they were, I only saw complete bias.

"Where was he born? I have no idea at all! I just vaguely remember that he seemed to be shouting in a damp place." Shan Liusheng Qinghua frowned at the referee, but still spoke.

"Okay, it's your turn again. Don't worry, this time I'm definitely not asking about punctuation marks as a joke. After all, we are master and apprentice, and our relationship is deep." The dean was very warm and gentle. "Come on, please tell me how many 'we' appear in the first five paragraphs of the ninth section? Don't worry, you can think about it slowly, 3, 2..."

"One." Yin Ze said in a deep voice.

"So many paragraphs, just one? It's impossible to think about it. Well, I will allow you one chance to change your answer."

"One, only one." Yin Ze was not deceived at all and said firmly.

The dean's expression suddenly changed into Sichuan Opera style. The warmth disappeared and was replaced by regret for not being able to deceive people. After a few seconds of silence, he turned to his granddaughter and prepared to ask the third question.

"No need, I lost." Yamayagyu Kiyoka admitted defeat directly. She ignored her despicable grandfather who was winking at her and said softly, "I didn't expect that someone could study Mr. Natsume's article to such an extent. The effort and sweat that must have been put in is unimaginable. At least I definitely can't do it, so I lost."

"It was a narrow win, a narrow win." Yin Ze wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was speaking the truth. After all, considering the dire situation... the third question from the selfless mentor was how many strokes there were in a certain sentence.

"But there are still two subjects left, and the final outcome is still unknown. Come on." Shan Liusheng Qinghua said firmly, with fighting spirit burning.

Half an hour passed.

All the maids had finished packing and put down their burdens to enjoy the joy of the school festival.

In the classroom, the four-person study group was left with only the study committee member and an absolutely fair referee and righteous question setter.

The girl stared at the empty opposite side in a daze.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military, don't take it too seriously." Shan Liushengxin comforted him, "That guy has always had problems with his brain. He is not normal, you know? Don't dwell on it. Today's activities have ended successfully. You did a great job. What do you want to eat today? Grandpa will treat you."

The girl remained silent and did not respond.

Three competitions.

The Chinese language was crushed in the first round.

The girl only won the math competition, but it was the other party who surrendered. The other person gave up without even reading the question, as if he wanted to repay the favor he had done in the previous competition.

Finally, foreign languages ​​were discussed, with both parties choosing the language they were best at.

The opponent's Chinese proficiency has reached such a high level that he can translate extremely difficult classical Chinese without any reference materials. He even showed off his proficiency in the southwestern dialect and was proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Without more than ten years of hard work, it is impossible to achieve this level of success.

By comparison, my best French sounded like the crude babbling of a toddler.

In all three games, neither the IQ nor the EQ was up to par.

Completely defeated.

The girl, who rarely gets defeated like this, couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Chapter 125 That thief

Helping the maid cafe graduate at lightspeed was just an ordinary episode, and the lively school festival had not yet ended. Just like the magic cast by the fairy on Cinderella would not fail before midnight, as long as this dreamy festival was not over, the miracle of youth psychology medicine that turned men into boys would not disappear.

We talked and laughed about gossip and trivial matters, and had no contact with the uncle who had no agent. The sunshine once again watered the dry soul.

As the saying goes, people feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and take naps in summer. Walking in the green campus, the bright orange sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting spots of light. The man can't help but be infected by this simple and ordinary feeling, as if he had drunk red wine. Thinking of it, all the best sleeps in this life were given here.

After all, the desk in the classroom is where my dream began.

"Do you want to eat octopus balls?" the girl who was traveling with him asked, pulling his sleeve from behind.

"Generally speaking." The boy answered cautiously.

"What do you mean by just thinking about it?" The girl was dissatisfied with the man's perfunctory response.

"I saw it, smelled it, and wanted to try it a little, but I didn't really need it, and it didn't matter if I didn't eat it. Similarly, sometimes I would suddenly want to drink an ice-cold Coke, but when I really bought it and eagerly took the first three sips, the desire to drink it all would gradually disappear like melting snow," the boy explained.

"You are so pretentious." The girl traveling with her was speechless.

"Just being pretentious," the boy answered cautiously.

In the end, the girl forced him to buy two.

The high school student chef who opened the shop is well versed in marketing. When making meatballs and adding sauces, he always makes various exaggerated poses and shouts like a new-age Kamen Rider transforming and changing forms, such as "Infinite hot pepper sauce!" "Trinity salad dressing!" "End time pepper!" "SuperStar cheese!" and so on, so that customers can entertain themselves while waiting for their dishes.

Uchida Maaya ate one first, but the freshly made octopus balls were very hot, causing her to hiss constantly and stomp her feet. Unfortunately, good-looking people are cute even when they look embarrassed. This scene was more like a person who was pranked and was throwing a tantrum. If it were an ordinary person, he would have puffed up his mouth and swung his cheeks, with a hideous look.

"Do you want it?" After suffering, the girl quickly turned around, poked one hanging in the air with a toothpick, and gestured to someone.

"No!" The boy said without hesitation when he saw her smacking her lips. His reason was also very reasonable, "It's hot!"

But the girl refused to give in. She just snorted slightly and raised the meatball to her mouth.

Yin Ze moved flexibly, but he couldn't avoid it no matter how he dodged left and right. He was very helpless, so he had to lift his defense, opened his mouth wide, and blew a few times to cool down the octopus balls before they invaded.

So that's what people are like. After they are hurt, they keep trying to drag others down with them so that they can get what they want. It's really despicable.

"How does it taste?" Uchida Maaya smiled happily.

"It's average," Yin Ze answered, accepting the feedback from his taste buds. After all, it was made by students, so it certainly couldn't compare to the genuine goods in the store, but the ingredients were good, so it wasn't too bad.

"You are such a..." Uchida Maaya immediately stuffed the box of octopus balls into her hands in annoyance. She always felt that this guy was absent-minded.

The theme cafe closed, and the maid naturally changed back into casual clothes. Perhaps she had the same idea as someone else. Uchida Maaya is now wearing the commemorative school uniform, a Western jacket and a plaid skirt, a classic combination, and it doesn't look out of place at all, like a well-educated senior high school student.

The two graduates were shameless and tacitly teamed up to deceive themselves.

I walked and stopped along the way. When I saw a small shop selling interesting items, I would stop to look but not buy anything. When I passed by a stall selling freshly made cotton candy, I couldn't help but spend a little money. When visiting a festival, I always had to have something in my hands and something in my mouth to feel the atmosphere and participate.

There were so many things bought that someone had to take them all. After Yin Ze had carried the weight in both hands, lost his mind and soul, and followed the girl step by step for more than 20 minutes, he finally realized that something was wrong.

How did I become a shopping cart!

"Have you ever participated in this kind of activity when you were in school?" Uchida Maaya's hair was tied into a ponytail with a strong student vibe, and it swayed slightly with her steps.

"No, there was a sports meet." Yin Ze thought about it.

"Hmm? Have you participated in any projects?" Uchida Maaya asked curiously.

"...I fell into a conspiracy and was signed up for the 5,000-meter race." Yin Ze looked sad. "The athletes all finished, leaving me and a few other runners. When the referee saw that we were still three or four laps away from the finish, he waved his hand and pardoned everyone, saying let's end the race and move on to the next one."

"How did you choose? What place did you get? Even though your body couldn't bear the strain, you still relied on your tenacious will to run to the finish line and successfully completed the race? Did you receive applause from everyone?" Uchida Maaya looked forward to it.

"No, after the referee said that, we left and went to take a break and drink some water." Yin Ze scratched his head.

"You're so unambitious!" Uchida Maaya was disappointed.

"No, this is stop loss." Yin Ze said deeply.
