Chapter 137: Only you are holding an umbrella!

"The gong of Lady Ya's villa has been struck?"

"Damn, someone is going to break through again?"

"Go and see, since Young Master Mo of Mingsheng Academy failed a year ago, no one has broken through again!"

"Young Master Mo is one of the four great talents of Mingsheng Academy. A year ago, he was only two breaths away from answering the third question, which is a pity!"

"Who exactly will break through this time? Could it be the head of the four great talents of Mingsheng Academy—Young Master Zhao?"

"Very likely, after all, Princess Yan Yang might come to the banquet today, and it is said that the four great talents of Mingsheng Academy will gather here today!"

"Wow, this is a rare big scene!"

"Hurry up and see..."

Around Daming Lake, countless students were alarmed, looking up one after another, their eyes gathered at the entrance of the villa!

For students who like to write and paint, witnessing a great talent break through a question level is more exciting than watching a battle between experts.

And at this time, because Xu Que was startled by the sudden gong sound, he was staring at the bookboy who struck the gong.

The bookboy was stared at inexplicably, always feeling a chill in his back, and hurriedly turned and ran into the villa.

Tang Liufeng felt the eyes gathering from all around, his body shrank, a little timid!

He felt that he had boarded a pirate ship today. He originally just wanted to line up, take the golden invitation, go in, find a corner to sit down and eat something casually, and wait until the banquet ended to complete the task assigned by the master.

After all, the reputation of their Dongcheng Academy was not very good, so they should be as low-key as possible.

Now it's good, the gong sounded, even if he wanted to hide, there was nowhere to hide.

Tang Liufeng stood there, his resentful eyes aimed at Xu Que, his heart simply wanting to cry without tears: 'I was so happy today, why did you say such things? Suddenly said you want to break through, blue thin, mushroom here...'

Xu Que was completely unaware, standing at the entrance of the villa, welcoming the eyes of all, occasionally posing as an expert, looking up at the sky deeply.

The system notification sounds in his mind rang out one after another, and the pretentiousness points continued to rise!

"Young master, please start!" At this time, the female bookboy said.

"Good!"

Xu Que nodded, his face froze, walking with dragon steps and tiger strides, with a majestic aura, walking toward the wooden plaque covered with red cloth.

At the same time, he also summoned the system, preparing to cheat!

Everyone present saw Xu Que go on stage and was instantly stunned.

"Eh? Why is it that white-clothed young master breaking through the question level?"

"This person is so unfamiliar, he doesn't look like someone from our Imperial City?"

"Look, he is actually with people from Dongcheng Academy!"

"Damn, no way, could it be a student of Dongcheng Academy? Just relying on them, also have the guts to come and break through Lady Ya's villa question level?"

"Truly ignorant, what qualifications does Dongcheng Academy have?"

"Could it be because their Dongcheng Academy didn't receive Lady Ya's golden invitation, so they ran over to break through?"

"Hahaha, this is extremely likely!"

Many people were stunned, then burst into laughter one after another, thinking this was a farce, a nameless junior running out to attract attention and attract eyeballs.

Someone sighed with disappointment, shook his head and said: "It's a pity, originally thought it was some great talent preparing to break through the question level."

"Difficult, even Young Master Mo, one of the four great talents, failed. I'm afraid no one in the Imperial City will easily come to break through this question level!"

"Indeed, after all, it's thankless, and if you don't break through, you will be laughed at!"

"Not necessarily, for example, this white-clothed young master, knowing he can't break through, yet still goes forward despite the difficulties, we should learn from him, hahahaha..."

At the end of the speech, another burst of laughter rang out on the side of Daming Lake!

Tang Liufeng's head was buried lower, wishing he could jump into Daming Lake, he felt he had lost a lot of face today.

Xu Que held his head high, walking with confidence, style, and pretentiousness in every step!

Striding across to the wooden plaque, he grabbed the red cloth with his hand and pulled it!

"Swish!"

The red cloth was instantly lifted by him, flew toward the high sky, and fell slowly.

The whole action was smooth and flowing, without any hesitation!

And as the red cloth was lifted, everyone present also stopped laughing, their eyes cast toward the wooden plaque, on which several lines of golden regular script were written!

Xu Que scanned ten lines at a glance, finished scanning the whole question, and before he had time to ask the system, he was happy himself!

Damn, this question, is it too simple?

"If one person eats one bowl of rice, it takes a quarter of an hour. Then, how much time does it take for eight people to eat eight bowls of rice?"

Isn't this just a brain teaser? Want to stump me with this kind of question? What kind of ghost joke are you playing?

Xu Que glanced at the question and knew the answer directly.

However, in the eyes of everyone, the difficulty of this kind of question level is not the question itself, but the reaction ability.

From the moment the red cloth is lifted to seeing the whole question clearly, it takes two breaths of time, and the answer must be completed within ten breaths, otherwise the difficulty is greatly increased, testing reaction ability and wit!

"Eh, this question... I know!"

"Haha, I know too! One bowl of rice takes a quarter of an hour, so eight bowls of rice is eight quarters of an hour, clearly it wants to test our addition and subtraction ability in arithmetic!"

"Too simple, if I had known, I would have gone to break through!"

"No, you are all wrong, this question is a trap. Eight quarters of an hour is indeed correct, but you all neglected that eight quarters of an hour is equal to one hour, so if you fill in eight quarters of an hour, I'm afraid it's wrong, you have to fill in one hour."

"Damn, it turns out to be like this!"

"Lady Ya's questions are really not simple."

Everyone finished reading the question and got the answer within a few breaths, one hour!

"Young master, ten breaths are almost up, please write the answer on the wooden plaque as soon as possible, otherwise it will be considered a failure!" At this time, the female bookboy reminded Xu Que.

Xu Que raised the corners of his mouth, walked up unhurriedly, condensed a wisp of True Essence power with his two fingers, and wrote the answer directly under the wooden plaque!

A quarter of an hour!

The whole scene was silent, followed by a burst of laughter!

"Haha, this guy wrote it wrong!"

"It's one hour, not a quarter of an hour, you idiot!"

"I'm speechless, with this IQ, where does the confidence come from to break through the question level?"

"Dongcheng Academy's people are indeed losers!"

"Hahaha..."

A series of teasing mocks resounded through Daming Lake!

Tang Liufeng's face turned pale, wishing he could jump into Daming Lake, he felt he had lost a lot of face today.

"Brother Li, this... this answer is wrong!" He looked at Xu Que, saying with hatred for iron not becoming steel.

Xu Que shook his head, cast his gaze toward everyone around, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, you group of mentally retarded things, who just said the answer was eight quarters of an hour?"

This roar made everyone present startled.

Following that, a student said angrily: "It was me, so what? Eight quarters of an hour, at least it's closer to the correct answer than you!"

"Did your mother raise the placenta before giving birth to such a mentally retarded thing as you? Oh no, compared to those behind, you are barely half a mentally retarded thing! I just want to ask, who said the answer was one hour?" Xu Que mocked and asked everyone.

This made many people angry.

A student stood out and sneered: "It was me! This question is not difficult, one hour, it's easy to guess!"

Xu Que sighed: "Sure enough, God sprinkled wisdom all over the world..."

The student heard this and showed a proud smile.

However, Xu Que continued: "So much wisdom sprinkled all over the world, only you, held an umbrella!"

The student was startled, and everyone was also stunned.

Wisdom sprinkled all over the world? Only you held an umbrella? Doesn't this mean blocking all the wisdom?

The student reacted and was instantly furious.

But before he could open his mouth, Xu Que continued to look at everyone impolitely: "And that group of people who think one hour is the correct answer, you are all brain-damaged, even worse than the half-mentally retarded thing just now!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole scene was instantly furious.

"Unreasonable, you actually dare to insult us."

"Simply insulting to the refined!"

"Got the question wrong, and still dare not face it."

"Clearly it's anger from embarrassment, this person is definitely not promising!"

Many people were furious and accused one after another.

Xu Que shrugged his shoulders indifferently, looked at the female bookboy and said: "Little sister, tell them the correct answer!"

The female bookboy smiled bitterly and said: "Congratulations, young master, the answer to this question—is exactly a quarter of an hour!" ===== CHAPTER 138 =====

The young female bookboy gave a bitter smile and said, "Congratulations, Young Master. The answer to this question—is exactly one quarter of an hour!"
