The math teacher was a tall, middle-aged woman wearing black glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn't look around to see if Chen Ran and the others were among the other students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew clearly that this should be a Rule-based Weird Tale Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Rule-based Weird Tale Instances, he still understood quite a bit. For players in Hell, this kind of Instance was child's play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the answers were basically hidden in the rules, saving the deception between players. Players only needed to deduce the answer by analyzing the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The essence of this kind of Instance was just one word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Rules!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, rules in a classroom might include not looking around, otherwise, violating the rule would result in being killed by an NPC.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't see any corresponding rules in front of him. Thus, suspecting the rules were in the textbooks, he flipped through a few pages. Finding no hidden compartments, he reached his hand into his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fang Han, come up and solve this problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Lin Xuan look over, seeing a student in the first row stand up. Lin Xuan's seat was on the far right of the fourth row, making it impossible to see the person's face clearly, but it probably wasn't a player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw that the teacher had already written the problem on the blackboard. The problem was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Prove that when n > 2, there are no integer solutions for a^n + b^n = c^n.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Who am I?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Where am I?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is this something a human can answer?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, this was the legendary Fermat's Last Theorem. If someone could prove it, he felt he could dig his own grave right then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Han walked up to the podium, shakily picked up a piece of chalk, and stared fixedly at the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the female teacher's eyes gradually turned scarlet. A saliva-covered tongue, about a meter long, slipped out of her mouth. Fang Han's body trembled like a sieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the female teacher's long tongue wrapped around Fang Han's neck. Opening her bloody maw, she bit off Fang Han's neck in one bite. His entire head was swallowed into her belly, his brains bursting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female teacher licked her lips, looking somewhat unsatisfied. She erased the problem on the blackboard and wrote again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Can every natural number be expressed as the sum of cubes of no more than three positive integers? If it cannot be expressed, please prove for no more than how many integer cubes the above problem holds true.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head to look at the students below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Ran! You come up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan noticed that the person who stood up was indeed Chen Ran, who had previously been sitting in the second row.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran walked very slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brain seemed to be turning, his eyes full of contemplation. It looked as if he was thinking about how to avoid solving the problem, and also as if he was thinking about how to solve the problem on the blackboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran walked up to the podium, picked up a piece of chalk, pondered for a moment, and started writing the solution:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Example: Natural number 4. If expressed as the sum of cubes of three positive integers, the value range for the three positive integers is: 1-3. When it is the cube of one positive integer, 1^3 = 1, which does not match; 2^3 = 8, which does not match; 3^3 = 27 also does not match. When expressed as the sum of cubes of two positive integers, the value range is only 1. Then 1^3 + 1^3 = 2, which also does not match. By the same logic, expressing it with three cubes also does not hold.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Example: Natural number 4. The above has already proven that it cannot be expressed with no more than three positive integers. Next, prove [whether it can be expressed as the sum of cubes of no more than four positive integers]. When the value is 1, 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 + 1^3 = 4, which holds true.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Natural number 5: 1^3 + 2^3 ≠ 5, which does not hold. Therefore, no more than four is incorrect.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Proving for no more than five cubes...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Natural number 7: 5(1^3) = 5, does not hold. 4(1^3) + 2^3 = 12, does not hold.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Assume it is no more than X.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Based on the above, we can conclude that when the natural number is less than X, the expression holds true. When the natural number is greater than X, there will always be one or more natural numbers that cannot be expressed with [the sum of cubes of no more than X positive integers].】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Conclusion: The positive integer proposition is false.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【When negative integers can be taken: When the natural number is less than X, positive integers can be taken, which holds true. When the natural number is greater than X, the natural number A can be selected as a reference, A > X. If -1 and 1 are taken, let the sum of cubes be Y. Since X*1 = X > Y, and X \u003C A, then Y \u003C A, which does not hold.】【When taking -2, 2, 1, -1, the sum of cubes is Y. The maximum value of Y: (X-1)(2^3) - 8, which is (X-1)8 - 8 = 8X - 16. The minimum value of Y: -8X.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Conclusion, when the range of A is: -8X ≤ A ≤ 8X - 16, it holds true.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【And so on.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Summary: When taking positive\u002Fnegative integers, some natural numbers can be expressed, but not all natural numbers can be expressed.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing writing, he returned to his seat. The female teacher looked at his back for a long time, and finally said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, the answer is correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was stunned. The female teacher had written two problems. The first one couldn't be proven, and the second one was a false proposition. So the question was, could the next one be proven?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female teacher wrote on the blackboard again. This time, Lin Xuan couldn't remain calm. Who the hell knew if he would be called up to solve the problem next time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he continued to feel around in his desk, wanting to find the rules of the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the touch, the item in the desk should be his backpack. Besides that, there was nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiu Yinong, you come and solve this problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan noticed that Qiu Yinong was indeed Qiu Yinong, but she...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was sitting in the third row!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The first problem called an NPC student in the first row, giving us time to react.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The NPC died, and it moved to the second row. The players' reaction time also ended here.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The second problem moved to the third row!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In other words, if there is a next problem, it will call the fourth row...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Me!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan hurriedly looked at the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Prove: For every positive integer, if it is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1; if it is even, divide it by 2. Repeating this cycle will eventually result in 1.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The 3n+1 conjecture!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This kind of problem again!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan completely lost hope, knowing that if he didn't think of a way, he would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wait, based on the typical behavior of Rule-based Weird Tale Instances, the rules are either in a conspicuous place near the door inside the room, or...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In a conspicuous place near the door outside.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since it's not inside, then it's outside.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong walked very slowly. When passing by Chen Ran's desk, she glanced at Chen Ran's desk, and then stopped delaying, walking straight up to the podium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Chen Ran wrote the answer for her!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But the problem is...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am on the far right. If the teacher calls me to solve a problem, I won't pass by Chen Ran's desk.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the headless corpse still spurting blood on the podium, Lin Xuan knew he couldn't wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skill was still in the banned state from Eternal Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And took out an antibiotic reagent from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Injecting antibiotics would cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, but at this moment, he couldn't care about that much anymore. Inside the desk, he injected himself with the antibiotics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yinong also wrote the answer, just without the process. The female teacher looked at her retreating back with a gloomy expression, picked up the chalk again, and heavily wrote a problem on the blackboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teacher, who was writing the next problem, suddenly heard some sound. Her eyes immediately flashed a bizarre red. She turned her head, and that long, saliva-covered tongue had already dropped to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze locked onto Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong with you?\" Seeming to notice Lin Xuan's abnormal state, she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My stomach... hurts so much.\" Lin Xuan was sweating profusely, clutching his stomach and collapsing into the aisle beside his desk. He didn't dare to shout [Teacher].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in Rule-based Weird Tales, there were often people who were not in the relevant profession disguised as people in that profession. If you called them wrong, it was easy to violate a rule and cause death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female teacher frowned and carefully scrutinized Lin Xuan for a long time before the scarlet color in her eyes faded. She turned her head and said to Chen Ran: \"You take Lin Xuan to the infirmary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan staggered up. Chen Ran used one hand to fake-support Lin Xuan's hand, and his other hand to fake-support Lin Xuan's body. In short, they acted very realistically, but the two didn't make any actual contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan took the opportunity to secretly glance at Chen Ran's waist. There indeed was a pure white handgun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'From Chen Ran answering the question just now, providing the answer to Qiu Yinong, to him not daring to touch my body, and that pure white Liar-Slayer at his waist, it's basically confirmed that he is the player Chen Ran.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the person who designed the Instance was Shu Renjun. He had to be extra, extra careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But there's a problem. Is that female teacher killing people a punishment mechanism, or...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have the Slayer's Sanctuary. Logically speaking, her tongue shouldn't be able to touch me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Perhaps, the female teacher herself is a kind of trap. If I violate her rules, it won't trigger the Liar-Slayer's protection mechanism.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a point he wasn't sure about. Otherwise, there was no need for Lin Xuan to put on such a show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in Rule-based Weird Tale Instances, it was basically NPCs killing people. There were no traps, only being killed for violating rules. Therefore, he leaned more towards the female teacher's tongue being able to touch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn't go out through the back door, but came out from the front door. The moment they came out, the two almost simultaneously turned their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the left side of the exterior wall, they sure enough saw a notice on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one glance, the two memorized the rules on the notice. Without any pause, they turned their heads and continued walking forward...\u003C\u002Fp>",1857,"2026-06-02T12:08:03.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c1dce00afa518f448b400e02a072466dd708cf5d95e0eb8a0b8c8539824dc0f","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-393","the-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-chapter-391",621,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-eighteen-levels-of-hell-lying-is-forbidden-h-cover.jpg"]
