1722 Sister Nian: Yes, I Actually Need Something
Nie Mi also saw the items being sent over one by one and was quite puzzled. He raised his head and asked the person opposite him, “Master Cheng, do you know what they’re doing?”
It was Master Cheng’s first time attending the Ji family’s banquet. He shook his head and looked as puzzled as him. “I don’t know. Let’s wait and see.”
Soon, the waiter brought the items to their table.
The same stack of draft paper and a pen, along with a tablet, were placed on their table.
After that person put the things down, he walked away without saying a word.
Nie Mi was stunned. “What do they mean?”
Qiao Nian picked up the tablet and played with it. She realized that these tablets were all connected to the same main computer. Her eyes darkened, and the corners of her upturned eyes restrained her arrogance.
Tsk, interesting!
Soon, all the tables were given the same things.
Immediately after, a complicated question similar to calculus and physics was projected on the main table. Many of the symbols were rarely used in advanced mathematics.
A man’s deep and dignified voice faintly sounded. “In the past, everyone who participated in the banquet wanted to take part in an auction. This time, I’ll change the gameplay. We distributed draft paper and pens to every table and a tablet with a link projector. Everyone can participate in this game. The rules of the game are very simple. Whoever can solve this question the fastest can make a request of me. Any request is fine.”
The banquet hall exploded as soon as he finished speaking.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a request of the Ji family!
Everyone started discussing the question on the projector.
However, not everyone understood these things. Many people needed help understanding what the topic was about.
“This is a formula for calculating black gunpowder,” Qiao Nian said in a low voice before Nie Mi could speak. Her tone was quite impatient, and she was a little surprised.
She did not expect the Ji family to use the formula for black gunpowder as a joke. Previously, she had planned to contact them through the auction and then check if Ji Qing was one of them.
Still…
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes and pulled down her cap. Then, she took the draft paper and pen. The pen moved quickly as she started calculating.
Black gunpowder involved calculus, physics, and chemistry knowledge. Novices couldn’t even understand it!
This question seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult.
It was as difficult as a competition problem statement.
However, no matter which subject it was, the international competition would not test the manufacturing of black gunpowder. This was probably the unique and bold style of the Independent Continent’s Ji family.
Nie Mi found it strange upon seeing that she was interested in participating. “Nian Nian, you want to participate?”
Qiao Nian had already deduced the first step. The handwriting on the A4 draft paper was strong. She stopped writing and lowered her dark eyelashes. She could still answer Nie Mi by multitasking. “Yes, I happen to want something from them.”
…
“Black gunpowder.” At the second table in the front row, someone also calmly explained the contents of the test.
The others at the table looked at her in admiration.
“I almost forgot that Miss Ji was here.”
“…Our table depends on Miss Ji.”
Everyone knew that the most outstanding person in the Ji family’s new generation was Ji Ziyin. Ji Ziyin’s talent in this area was legendary.
With Ji Ziyin around, there was basically no suspense about the outcome!
“I’m just trying.”
Ji Ziyin smiled calmly. Then, she picked up the paper and pen on the table. Her gaze landed on the question on the projector as she slowly calculated…
