Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1301: The Tree Desires Stillness but the Wind Will Not Cease

Lu Xiaobu glanced at the problem and felt a headache coming on.

Actually, it’s not that he couldn’t solve it, it’s just that he had genuinely forgotten some of the formulas and such.

If he had just graduated from high school a few years ago, he might still remember some of it. But he had come from Earth, and it was unknown how long it had been since he graduated, not to mention he had been on Water Blue Star for several years.

He really couldn’t remember those formulas.

The people around were also discussing.

”Do you guys think Young Master Lu can solve it?!”

”Who knows! I just calculated 6, and the stall owner said I was wrong!”

”I got 12, and the stall owner said I was wrong too!”

”Could it be that this problem doesn’t have a correct answer at all?!”

”Probably not, he wouldn’t go that far. This problem is probably designed with many traps!”

”Let’s see if Young Master Lu can solve it!”

”...”

At that moment, Xiao Zhi suddenly spoke up: ”The answer is 7.5.”

He didn’t think much about it, he just sensed that Lu Xiaobu was having a hard time, so he helped out a little.

The onlookers were stunned when they heard it.

The problem Little Pepper picked wasn’t an easy one. Even if they knew how to do it, it would still take some calculations. At least all those numbers would be impossible to do entirely in your head.

But it was just a few seconds, and this kid already announced the answer?!

”Could it be a wild guess.”

”Yeah, that was way too fast.”

”Stall owner, is it correct? Is that the answer?”

”Yes, yes, is it 7.5?”

”...”

The stall owner dumbfoundedly took out the answer: ”It’s 7.5, that’s right!”

He was scared stiff, really!

Others might just think the problem was very complex, but he knew in his heart that he had carefully selected this problem. It had five traps, and as long as you fell into any one of them, the problem would be unsolvable.

He chose such a difficult problem to prevent anyone from answering it.

After all, according to the rules, if someone answered, he would have to give them something!

But this boy actually managed to solve it, evading all the traps, in such a short time?!

Oh my god, a prodigy!

Of course, he had no intention of backing out. The person across was Lu Xiaobu; backing out?! He still wanted to have a future!

”Here, this is your prize!” The stall owner handed over the huge stuffed toy he had bought at a steep price to Xiao Zhi with a bitter smile.

Well, today was a loss!

The surrounding spectators, upon hearing the stall owner’s confirmation, immediately exclaimed one after another.

”Oh my god, he actually got it right?!”

”That fast?!”

”Such a difficult problem, and he solved it so quickly?! Prodigy!”

”Prodigy my ass! He’s in his twenties, can’t call that a prodigy! Call him a genius!”

”6666!”

”...”

”Not bad,” Lu Xiaobu laughed and said, ”Little Pepper, dumbfounded, huh.”

”Hmph!” Little Pepper snorted, showing displeasure.

Xiao Zhi felt a great burst of happiness from receiving Lu Xiaobu’s praise.

Like all kids, when praised for doing something, they instinctively begin to repeat that action, hoping for more compliments!

So, Xiao Zhi’s rampage began!

Ice cream stand.

Xiao Zhi: ”The answer is 19!”

Got a huge ice cream.

...

Cotton candy stand.

Xiao Zhi: ”The answer is 1/2!”

Got a giant cotton candy.

...

Toy stand.

Xiao Zhi: ”The answer is 79.27!”

Got a drone.

...

Just like that, Xiao Zhi swept the entire plaza with an invincible stance.

All the stall owners reluctantly handed over their carefully prepared prizes to Xiao Zhi, twitching at the corners of their mouths.

Their hearts were bleeding.

These prizes, they really had no intention of giving them away!

Some of the grand prizes from many stalls were just rentals, meant to serve as displays to attract customers.

In the end, he came, gave you the answer in no more than five seconds, and walked away with the grand prize?!

Oh my god! Help!

Why isn’t this genius going to the core competitions instead of bullying us here?!

All the stall owners were on the verge of tears.

But those who were following Lu Xiaobu were having a blast!

Because Lu Xiaobu and his group didn’t care about these prizes at all, so if Xiao Zhi didn’t want them, they just handed them over to the onlookers!

”Got it right again! Oh my god! Really a genius!”

”Awesome! Haha, this is mine! Mine! Thank you! Thank you, Young Master Bu!”

”Everyone around Young Master Bu is so talented! Oh my god!”

”666! So fast?! I hadn’t even finished reading the problem!”

”Amazing, my bro!”

”...”

Xiao Zhi was also very happy, these problems were really simple for him. While a normal person might be confused by the various traps, he wouldn’t be.

He could clearly remember every detail!

Finally, the last barbecue stand was conquered by Xiao Zhi too.

While grilling skewers for Xiao Zhi, the barbecue stall owner said with a bitter smile, ”You’re so amazing, why don’t you go in there and participate in the competition?”

”Competition?” Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Oh, right in the center of the plaza, there are a lot of elite students from Qinghua University, and quite a few foreigners too.” The barbecue stall owner chatted fluently.

”We’re just taking this opportunity to ride the waves and make some money.”

”And there are foreigners? A lot?” Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow.

”Quite a few, I heard, like, there are some old guys too. Not sure what they’re doing.” The barbecue stall owner seemed quite talkative.

”Sister Lan, did you get notified?” Lu Xiaobu turned and asked.

This is Shimen. Regardless of what competition or meeting you hold, you should notify Lu Xiaobu’s side for the sake of courtesy and logic.

Especially with so many foreigners coming in.

”Yes, we were notified, and an invitation was sent out too, but I didn’t think it was interesting, so I declined it!” Liang Lan nodded.

Mathematics, being such a rigorous subject, is not something Young Master likes, so we declined.

”Okay, then let’s go.” Lu Xiaobu nodded, as long as they were notified, it’s fine.

He really wasn’t interested in going in to see those things. The only reason he came over earlier was just for fun.

However, things don’t always go as planned.

Out from the center of the plaza came a large group of people, both old and young, from the Heavenly Dynasty and foreigners, and some who looked familiar to Lu Xiaobu.

”Young Master Lu, what brings you here?” The person in charge saw Lu Xiaobu, quickly came forward with a smile, and said, ”I am Song Hui, the person in charge of the event—a professor from the Department of Mathematics at Qinghua University.”

”Oh, it’s nothing, I just brought the family out for some fun. Saw it was lively here so thought to check it out. You carry on.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand, not intending to get involved.

However, a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes stepped forward, staring at Xiao Zhi: ”Was it you who solved the problem I set?”

His tone was aggressive, showing a lot of displeasure!
