“Wow, this is really amazing!”
In order to verify whether the little prodigy of Taoyuan Village was just an empty title or not, some tourists went to the youth guide desk to rent a book.
Renting a book was neither expensive nor cheap. It was 5 RMB, and they could rent the dictionary for as long as they wanted. The 5 RMB would go directly to Xiao Letong.
The visitors held the dictionary and named a list of words for Xiao Letong. Then, they wanted him to continue the rest of the list according to the dictionary.
However…
Xiao Letong said, “Little brother, you don’t have to list out the words for me. You only need to tell me which page you want me to recite. Or you can ask for a specific word on a specific page.”
Everyone, “…” Isn’t this challenge a bit too big?
The little brother casually flipped through the dictionary and said, “Page 108…”
Xiao Letong immediately began to recite it.
The surrounding people were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. They were really shocked.
“Page 332, paragraph 3!”
“Page 668, starting from the second paragraph and the fifth word…”
Then, Xiao Letong easily passed all of the tests.
Everyone, “…” What else could they say?
At first, there was only one dictionary. Many people surrounded the little brother. However, they couldn’t see the content of the dictionary. If they couldn’t do that, they had no idea how exciting things were. Therefore, they decided to rent the dictionaries themselves.
In an instant, the 20 dictionaries on the youth guide desk were rented out.
Xiao Letong suddenly received over 100 RMB. He was getting more and more pocket money!
“Damn. I’m the one holding the dictionary, but he’s more familiar with the content than I am.”
The visitors tried to test Xiao Letong by having him recite the words backward, but he passed that test easily too. Xiao Letong recited the dictionary from the last word to the first word. He passed the high difficulty challenge with ease.
When Xiao Letong was reciting the dictionary, Old Master Gong was shocked too. Then, he was filled with pride.
His Brat was smart. However, compared to his great-grandson’s intelligence, his Brat was as dumb as a rock.
In short, ever since he had his great-grandson, Gong Tianhao was being sidelined and became fully unimportant. If Gong Tianhao knew about this, he would probably shake his head.
Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang were so shocked that their mouths were wide open. One could fit a duck egg into their mouths.
Little Young Master was really too amazing! This was a whole dictionary.
Their little young master was able to memorize the whole book, and he could recite it at will.
“He’s really a child prodigy. In the past, I didn’t believe that a one-year-old child could memorize an entire dictionary, but now I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”
“Indeed. He’s a real child prodigy!”
“That’s really amazing. He can even memorize an entire dictionary. No wonder he can speak so fluently at his age.”
“Haha. I can’t even read through a whole dictionary, much less memorize it…”
Someone asked curiously, “Little friend, how did you become so good at memorizing such a thick book?”
Xiao Letong said proudly with his head held high, “I told you I’m very smart. I have a photographic memory. As long as I read the book once, I can recite it fluently! I only spent a day memorizing this dictionary.”
“Only one day?!” It was too shocking.
“Yes. I could have moved faster, but my hands were too small, and the book was too thick. It took me a whole day to slowly flip through the pages.”
Everyone, “…”
Oh my God! They thought the child prodigy needed a day to memorize the dictionary but actually, most of the time was spent flipping through the pages. This was too shocking.
Of course, some people didn’t quite believe it.
After all, no matter how talented Xiao Letong was, he was still so young. Perhaps he had been memorizing the dictionary page by page slowly.
Therefore, some of them wanted to test Xiao Letong further.
Someone took out a book from his bag and asked with a smile, “Little friend, you said you know how to read, right?”
“Yes, Miss!” Xiao Letong was a smart person. When he saw her take out a book from her bag, he knew that she wanted to test his reading skill.
The young miss smiled and said, “Well, I have a book here. See if you can memorize it after reading it once. Let us all see how powerful you are.” After saying that, she handed the book to Xiao Letong.
Xiao Letong casually flipped through the book, and his small face wrinkled into a small bun.
When everyone saw his expression, they thought that he was actually lying and he couldn’t really read. They suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Xiao Letong looked at young miss with a puzzled expression and said, “Little Sister, this is a romance novel. There are some adult scenes here. Are you sure you want me to recite them?”
The expression of the people around Xiao Letong changed. Old Master Gong’s face turned ugly.
He immediately took the book from the child’s hands and flipped through it. Then, he looked sharply at the little girl and said in a weathered voice, “Little girl, I have no objections if you want to test my grandson’s abilities. But you can’t show my grandson a book that is inappropriate for a child his age! Are you trying to corrupt him?”
The little girl’s face turned red from being reprimanded by Old Master Gong. She lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. I wasn’t paying attention when I took out the book!”
For people like them who were traveling, many of them would take books with them to pass the time in the car.
Earlier, she was too shocked by Xiao Letong’s photographic memory. She remembered that there was a book in her bag, so she took it out directly.
She did not consider that the other party was only a two or three-year-old child. Her book was not suitable for him at all.
The crowd looked at the girl strangely. When they heard Old Master Gong, their expressions changed again. The girl could be brought to the police station for what she had done. Whether it was intentional or not, this made them uncomfortable.
When Old Master Gong saw the little girl’s flushed face, he knew that she didn’t do it on purpose. As an elder, he didn’t want to dwell on this point.
Old Master Gong asked, “Tong Tong, did you read the whole book?”
Xiao Letong immediately shook his head and said, “No. I only read the first few chapters. I realized there was something wrong, so I quickly stopped.”
Actually, to him, there was no difference whether he read it or not.
He was a cultivator who had lived for thousands of years. Would he not know about the things described in the book? This was simply impossible.
Old Master Gong relaxed when he heard that.
The girl opposite him apologized in shame, “I’m sorry, Little Friend. I… I didn’t mean it. I really forgot that you’re a child and you’re not suitable to read these books.”
Xiao Letong nodded obediently and said, “Little Miss, it’s alright. I know you didn’t mean it.” If she did it on purpose, he would definitely seek reparation.
Then, Xiao Letong looked around and asked, “Are there any other books that I can read?”
Then, a young man took out a book from his bag and said, “I have one here. This is a fantasy novel.”
Everyone, “…” At least it was better than romance novels.
Then, they were given a chance to witness how a child prodigy memorizes a book. Xiao Letong casually flipped through the book and returned the book to the young man.
Then, he began to recite it. Of course, Xiao Letong only picked specific chapters to recite. If he had to recite the whole novel, his throat would go dry first. The book had more than a million words.
