“Alright.” Lin Xiaoyue agreed readily.
She quickly accepted the mission.
Then, she flipped through the questions and started to answer them.
In the end, it only took her less than 35 minutes to solve all 20 difficult questions.
After solving the questions, Lin Xiaoyue checked the answers.
When she found that all the answers were correct, a smile appeared on her face.
Then, she chose the five questions that she thought were the most difficult and handed them to Liu Wuji.
Liu Wuji was surprised that Lin Xiaoyue had completed the task so quickly.
“You answered all of them?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.
“Yes.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
Liu Wuji was stunned for a moment, then he flipped through the questions that Lin Xiaoyue had given him.
Liu Wuji only nodded and put down the question after reading it for about 15 minutes.
“Although these questions are difficult, I’m afraid that only this question can barely make it in.” As he spoke, Liu Wuji chose one from the five.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the question on the paper and realized that it was the most difficult question she had ever done.
Actually, it was not that the questions were difficult, but that the calculation process was more complicated.
After all, the number was relatively large, and it was more difficult to calculate.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart skipped a beat.
“Make all the numbers bigger in the selected questions to increase the difficulty.”
Liu Wuji looked up at Lin Xiaoyue and smiled.
“No.”
“The competition is not a test of the speed of calculation, but the way of solving the problem.”
“It’s possible to increase the numbers appropriately. If it’s purely to increase the difficulty of the calculation, it won’t work.”
Otherwise, he could perform some extremely complicated calculations and let the opponent calculate for a month. Wouldn’t that force them to admit defeat?
“Of course.” Liu Wuji continued when he saw Lin Xiaoyue’s disappointed expression. “It’s possible to increase the number appropriately.”
“For example, the question you gave the Sixth Princess previously.” Liu Wuji’s eyes lit up.
“We can use them for the competition questions after changing the numbers.”
Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.
Only then did she remember the question she had given the Sixth Princess.
“Is that okay?” Then, she asked Liu Wuji unconfidently.
The Sixth Princess and Liang Chengcai were indeed unable to solve her problem, but the Chu Jin envoys were very famous…
Liu Wuji smiled.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Mo Fei, who was busy.
Then, he took out a paper from the exam papers on the table and walked towards Mo Fei.
“Try this question and see if you can solve it.” Then, he handed the test paper to Mo Fei and said,
Mo Fei quickly agreed.
Then, he put away the previous questions and looked at the new question.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Wuji in confusion.
Liu Wuji didn’t give any explanation. Instead, he smiled and walked back.
“The question you gave him was the one you gave the Sixth Princess,” he said after he sat down.
“If Mo Fei can’t answer it, we add it to the list.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
She didn’t think highly of Liang Chengcai and the Sixth Princess’s mathematical abilities, but she approved of Mo Fei.
After all, in the first round of assessment, this person’s score was only two points lower than hers, which meant that he only got one question wrong.
Besides, Mo Fei was older.
Lin Xiaoyue thought that she would have to wait with the Imperial Advisor for a while.
Unexpectedly, Mo Fei came back with the test question in a short while.
“I know the answer to this question.” Then, Mo Fei said to Liu Wuji with a complicated expression.
Liu Wuji and Lin Xiaoyue were surprised.
“After lunch, the Sixth Princess and Mr. Liang told me about this question,” Mo Fei continued.
As he spoke, Mo Fei looked at Lin Xiaoyue with admiration.
“I’m ashamed to say this,” he said to Liu Wuji. “I’ve tried to solve the problem by myself for a while, but 1 couldn’t find the answer.”
“In the end, it was the Sixth Princess who told me the answer.”
“This question is exquisite. Madam Li is highly talented. This old man admires her!” As Mo Fei spoke, he actually bowed towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue hurriedly asked Mo Fei to get up.
“I wanted to mention this earlier. The Sixth Princess, Mr. Liang, and 1 all agree that this question can be selected for tomorrow’s test.”
This question was much more difficult than the other questions they had seen.
Liu Wuji smiled and then looked at Lin Xiaoyue with some pride. He had an expression that said, “wasn’t I right?”
Lin Xiaoyue felt a little awkward..
