Chapter 256: Knowledge Overwhelm

~7 min read 1,245 words

"Who are you talking about? Of course it's you!" Ye Cunxin really wouldn't back down, staring directly into Liu Xiaotian's eyes as she said.

Qin Yuxi quickly stepped forward to stand between them, facing Ye Cunxin and speaking in a solemn voice:

"Ye Cunxin, this matter is actually just a misunderstanding; I already asked and cleared it up just now."

But Ye Cunxin wouldn't have any of it.

"I saw exactly what you two just did—how come? Spring's already over, yet you're still like this? Is it that our physiologies differ, so our experience and feeling of the seasons differ? Or are you two genetically different, merely looking alike?"

To be honest, Ye Cunxin's few sentences were indeed a bit over the top.

As a top student, she's actually quite capable—except when facing Liu Xiaotian.

But compared to Liu Xiaotian—more precisely, compared to the original Liu Xiaotian—she's far behind by more than a hundred thousand miles.

Liu Xiaotian believes that in this world, no one can solve it.

In one, one look`nothing, one wrong version%!'

"Don't waste time, one problem each; if we both solve each other's problem, that also counts as you winning." "Hubbub..." the onlookers erupted in an uproar.

Besides them, all the personnel left behind by the Thunder Strike Team also came, including the cooks from the mess hall.

This time, Qin Yuxi's expression also changed: "Ye Cunxin, speaking like that will make you, a top graduate of Tsinghua, look very lowly."

Ye Cunxin stood there with head high and chest out, indeed full of presence and brimming with confidence.

Before Liu Xiaotian could speak, she spoke first:

Moreover, I can responsibly tell you: the bit of knowledge you think you're so good at is nothing in front of me.

"You!" Qin Yuxi's face flushed with anger, she was about to retort, but Liu Xiaotian stopped her.

"If you don't believe me, you can try."

Moreover, she probably hasn't read any military strategy; she doesn't even understand the simple principle of "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

However, the standard should be a high school math problem, just very difficult; many college graduates and even those with higher degrees, top students, can't solve it.

The problem she gave Liu Xiaotian is a math problem.

After a full half minute, she finally turned her pale face away from the paper, then looked at the sheet where Liu Xiaotian had already written his answer; her body swayed, and she almost fell over.

Qin Yuxi wanted to step forward to smooth things over, but Liu Xiaotian raised his hand to stop her, took two steps to Ye Cunxin's face, and said word by word: "How about it? Can't solve it?"

They don't really understand Liu Xiaotian, but they do have some understanding of Ye Cunxin.

Because, he also can't solve this problem.

Although Liu Xiaotian hasn't yet fully absorbed the "massive" knowledge data left by this body, her few sentences just now aren't even high-end sarcasm—even high schoolers can hear it, let alone Liu Xiaotian and Qin Yuxi, who were likewise specially recruited.

When Liu Xiaotian spoke, everyone overlooked the slight tremor in his voice.

Being blindly confident without knowing the opponent often ends in a miserable death! Fifteen minutes later, all members of the women's special forces gathered under the old locust tree; Liu Xiaotian had specially brought a table, on which lay several sheets of paper.

After they exchanged problem sheets, Liu Xiaotian merely glanced at it, then scribbled the answer on the paper with a swish-swish-swish, and it was very detailed.

After she finished writing, Liu Xiaotian merely gave it a casual glance, then picked up another pen on the table.

"With this level, how dare you challenge me?"

Especially the remaining seven female soldiers of the women's special forces.

"In a moment, I'll give Instructor Liu three problems; if he can solve two of them, he wins."

At least, in his original world, it was an unsolvable problem.

Regardless of truth, at least Liu Xiaotian's aura instantly overwhelmed Ye Cunxin; and coincidentally, this contempt is something Ye Cunxin, who considers herself lofty, cannot accept.

"Ye Cunxin, top student, right? You can't even speak a proper sentence? All those years of study went into livestock's bellies? Wipe that punch‑worthy look off your face before I decide to beat you."

Because if he loses after saying that, he'll only embarrass himself further.

Facing Liu Xiaotian's vulgar taunts, Ye Cunxin, furious, let out a cold laugh and said:

"Fine, then don't just limit it to us three; call everyone out to serve as witnesses."

"Probably without nine years of compulsory education, he could barely write his own name, right? But what shocked everyone except Qin Yuxi was that Liu Xiaotian outright rejected Ye Cunxin's suggestion, bluntly saying:"

"I've always wondered who filled your head with the idea that you're so great."

Ye Cunxin didn't care, stuck out her neck and replied:

"Instructor Liu wants to compete with me, of course, in terms of knowledge."

At this moment, Liu Xiaotian's face held no anger, only contempt.

And the problem Liu Xiaotian gave her is an argumentation problem, and moreover, an unsolvable one.

That's why he wanted to "seize the initiative," making Ye Cunxin overlook whether he, as the problem setter, could solve the answer.

She was thinking of making Liu Xiaotian lose face in front of everyone; too bad she didn't check the almanac before leaving—today's date was just wrong.

And Ye Cunxin, holding that paper, was stunned.

It looks more like a test of thinking ability; on the face of it, it even seems somewhat colloquial.

Just such a simple sentence, yet it has no solution.

Moreover, from the problem's appearance, it's clearly several levels higher than Ye Cunxin's problem.

"It doesn't need to be too advanced, otherwise I, as a creature not yet fully free of reproductive instinct, couldn't understand you two."

"With six points, each pair connected by either black or red, must there necessarily exist a monochromatic triangle?"

After hearing Liu Xiaotian's words, Ye Cunxin's face showed a hint of solemnity for the first time.

"Please everyone come, I'm doing this to serve as a witness."

"A Tsinghua graduate top student, counted as a specially recruited soldier, is absolutely talent."

"Just now I also searched my mind, but up to now I still have no answer."

The onlooking crowd immediately began to whisper.

"Damn, the problem I once looked up out of boredom on Baidu was itself unsolvable, so he naturally won't be able to solve it."

"Given her intelligence, she naturally wouldn't think Liu Xiaotian's doing this is just a slight regain of face before a crushing defeat."

After a moment's thought, Ye Cunxin walked to the desk, picked up pen and paper, and wrote down her topic with a swish swish swish.

Ye Cunxin was still a bit overconfident.

And Liu Xiaotian… at a glance you could tell he wasn't the scholarly type.

Of course, the effect was very obvious.

Ye Cunxin, who for the first time began to doubt herself, completely ignored whether Liu Xiaotian knew the answer, and even had no reaction to his sarcasm.

If Qin Yuxi hadn't timely stopped Liu Xiaotian and helped Ye Cunxin back to the dormitory, it's uncertain whether Ye Cunxin would have vomited blood on the spot.

And the result was, Liu Xiaotian won, and moreover, it was a complete victory!
