Chapter 188: Fighting arithmetic with wise men
Chapter 188: Competing with wise men in arithmetic
Si Yan was playing happily in the space. When she came out, she saw the snake orc sleeping beside her.
She stood up slowly, and the snake orc opened its eyes and hung on her body.
As soon as Si Yan opened the door, Yin Hong hurried up. His face turned red with excitement and said, "Si Yan, there are some orcs coming outside... They are... they are the parrot brothers from the City of Beasts!"
“Brother Parrot?” Si Yan asked curiously.
The snake beastman said: "The green-haired beastman I saw before is a green parrot beastman."
Si Yan: "..." It turns out to be a parrot, no wonder I feel a little irritated.
Yinhong explained excitedly: "The parrot brothers in Ten Thousand Beasts City, the elder brother is Gray Parrot, and the younger brother is Green Parrot. Gray Parrot is good at wisdom and is one of the famous wise men in Ten Thousand Beasts City. Green Parrot is good at martial arts and is one of the famous wise men in Ten Thousand Beasts City. One of the rare Golden Crystal Orcs. Their brothers are so awesome. I have often heard their stories since I was a kid!
It turns out that the golden crystal orc I saw this morning is actually a celebrity.
Si Yan went downstairs and saw the gray parrot and green parrot sitting in the tavern, as well as the already familiar female unicorn Baolin.
After Baolin saw Si Yan, he pointed at Si Yan and said, "Uncle Hui, that's her, that's Si Yan, that's her. She said she can do arithmetic! Hurry up and compare her with her!"
Baolin didn't know what was going on, but he felt disliked when he saw Si Yan, and even felt a faint feeling of fear and worry.
She always felt that she should know Si Yan, and it might not even be a friendly relationship, but she couldn't remember the specifics.
But there was a feeling that she couldn't let Si Yan ride on her head.
The gray parrot smiled at Baolin and said, "Don't worry, Miss."
After speaking, he took two steps towards Si Yan.
Si Yan went down to the first floor. Sheying and Shechuan put down their wine jars and walked over. Yinhong also followed behind her.
Gray parrot said: "Mr. Si Yan."
Si Yan also nodded politely: "Mr. Gray Parrot."
As a wise man, Gray Parrot has a humble demeanor: "I heard that Mr. Si Yan can do arithmetic?"
Si Yan: “I know a little bit.”
Gray Parrot: "I have an arithmetic problem. Can I ask Mr. Si Yan for help?"
Si Yan did not expect that the wise man invited by Baolin was quite polite. She said: "Please."
In the Void Tavern, originally all the males came to buy drinks, but after seeing the gray parrots and green parrots coming over, gradually, as a matter of fact, the orcs watching the show also gathered around.
“Look, it’s Mr. Gray Parrot.”
“Is it Mr. Wise?”
“Why is he here?”
“Didn’t you hear? He wants to ask that female for arithmetic lessons!”
“How is it possible? Mr. Gray Parrot asked a female for advice on arithmetic. Did you hear it wrong?”
“Don’t crowd, don’t crowd, I want to see it too, I want to see it too! Who is this female? She looks so good-looking!”
“More beautiful than the eldest lady of Ten Thousand Beasts City!”
“Yes, she is so beautiful!”
Baolin’s eyelids twitched. Are these orcs all a bunch of imbecile beauty-obsessed people?
What happened to the beauty? Is beauty useful? Do you have an identity? Do you have status?
Do you have a backer? Is there someone behind this?
Really, a bunch of superficial orcs!
After hearing that the gray parrot was going to compete with the female in front of him, some people quickly went home and asked their wise men to see if the wise men were willing to come and have a look.
“You guys stay here and I’ll go back and inform the gentleman.”
"OK."
“I’ve secured this position! I’ll go back and inform our wise men, who might come to see us!”
“Okay, okay!”
Gray Parrot and Si Yan sat down casually.
Yinhong knew that Si Yan was excellent. He had thought that Si Yan might be a wise man, but he never expected that one day she would be able to discuss face to face with a big boss like Gray Parrot.
It almost feels like I'm in a dream.
He stood behind Si Yan in a daze, feeling a sense of admiration for Si Yan rising again!
The gray parrot smiled and said: "I will ask the question first, and Mr. Si Yan will see if he can answer it."
Si Yan nodded: "Okay."
The gray parrot paused, making the surrounding orcs nervous, and everyone calmed down.
Ten orcs of varying fat and thin sizes appeared in front of Si Yan's eyes.
Gray Parrot said: "Mr. Si Yan, please listen to the question. There are ten orcs. The first orc holds one animal skin, the second orc holds two, the third orc holds three, and so on. The tenth orc has ten skins in his hand. How many skins do these ten orcs have in total? "
After saying this, the orcs shook the animal skins in their hands and took 1-10 animal skins in sequence according to the gray parrot's request.
Gray Parrot said: "This question may be a bit difficult. Mr. Si Yan can think about it slowly."
Si Yan looked at the posture, then looked at the gray parrot, and answered without a pause: "55 pictures."
Hearing Si Yan give the answer casually without saying anything, the orcs sneered.
Female is female. I didn’t even think about such a difficult question and reported the answer directly.
This is definitely a false report and it is definitely wrong.
It’s really a waste to come here. I thought I could watch a show, but ended up feeling lonely.
Baolin even laughed and said: "Si Yan, if you don't know how to do it, you won't do it. No one will laugh at you. It's wrong to talk nonsense!"
Si Yan looked at Baolin: "Am I talking nonsense?"
Si Yan said: "Miss, you can count. There are exactly ten orcs in front of us, and the orcs all have animal skins in their hands. Why don't you count and see if there are fifty-five animal skins?"
Baolin was stunned for a moment when he saw that she was confident.
Could it be that Si Yan really knew how to calculate and did it in one breath?
This is impossible!
Baolin said: "I will count them without you telling me!"
After saying that, it wasn’t just her, the orcs started counting them seriously one after another.
"one two three…"
However, before everyone could finish counting, Gray Parrot's peaceful expression cracked and he lost control, "Lord Si Yan! How did you count!"
The gray parrot’s chapped expression shocked everyone.
The orcs thought, no, it’s impossible, the number she mentioned casually can’t be right! !
However, the more everyone counted, the more frightened they became, and the more desperate they became.
“Fifty-three, fifty-four, fifty-five…”
“Fifty-five. Oh my god, it’s really fifty-five! How did she count?”
“Oh my god, can she really count? Is she a wise person??!”
“Impossible, she is a female!”
“Females have always been lazy and lazy, and they have never wanted to use their brains.”
“How can a wise man appear from a female?!”
“But she figured it out, she really figured it out!”
“Oh my god, how did she do that?!”
Baolin was stunned.
This Si Yan, it’s okay if she can do arithmetic, but she can calculate such a difficult question from Mr. Gray Parrot in an instant? ?
No, this is impossible!
Si Yan looked at these stunned orcs.
In her original world, these were just arithmetic problems for primary school students.
You can tell something is abnormal at a glance.
While everyone was shocked, a few wise men and wise men's apprentices not far away also rushed over.
They were all surprised after listening to the orcs who stayed here repeat the gray parrot's question and Si Yan's answer.
Si Yan said calmly: "Mr. Gray Parrot, this question is actually very simple. There are many methods. I will just talk about a popular method."
The gray parrot was particularly excited, and his hands began to tremble, "Mr. Si Yan, please speak."
Si Yan: "You can put the first orc and the ninth orc together, they will be ten animal skins, and put the second orc and the eighth orc together, they will also be ten animal skins. And so on, You can get five ten skins, and a single orc with five skins, which means a total of fifty-five skins.”
The gray parrot thought for a while and suddenly realized something. He said respectfully:
“I see, Mr. Si Yan is great.”
At this time, Si Yan directly threw the question back, "Mr. Gray Parrot, if we continue the analogy, there are a hundred orcs in total, and each orc holds one, two, three... until one hundred animal skins. Then. How many hides do these orcs have in total?”
The gray parrot was confused: “…”
Si Yan smiled slightly and took a sip of water.
Baolin looked at the proud Si Yan and became anxious.
She wanted to make Si Yan look embarrassed, not let her shine!
She shouted loudly: "Si Yan! I don't think you know it either! You are just asking a question that no one knows!"
