Chapter 38
The Nobel Prize winner is me, Lu Li!
Ouija board scratching its head.jpg
Although Lu Li couldn't see the spirit's appearance, he imagined it scratching its head right now.
Snapping his fingers, Lu Li beckoned, "Looks like the Ouija board won't be able to answer for the time being. Let's not sit idly by, let's quickly set up the Ouija board and chopsticks spirits too!"
He said this to Pan Shuai.
Xingtian?
He only glanced at it.
Lu Li didn't want to kill Xing Tian; in fact, he needed Xing Tian's help.
Mr. Lu felt that the most useful items inside the ring were talismans and weapons, but he didn't know how to use the talismans and he couldn't wield the weapons.
We'll have to ask Xing Tian for help to solve this.
After all, these days, after-sales service is also important when buying things.
Although he didn't pay any money.
Xing Tian's face turned even paler.
He knew in his heart that he couldn't get past this hurdle.
As expected, Lu Li, that monster, came for him.
He understood when Lu Li glanced at him just now.
That was Lu Li instructing him to send a few of his companions up to play the game!
He must have discovered the use of the Jade Spirit Gold!
Done!
Xingtian is faced with a difficult choice.
Is it disobeying Lu Li's orders... or betraying one's teammates?
In less than a second, Xing Tian made his decision.
Sell out your teammates decisively!
Teammates may die, but new ones will come; however, if you disobey Lu Li...
Xing Tian shivered.
The images of his five companions, who had died under mysterious circumstances, resurfaced in his mind.
So he said in a heavy tone, "You three go and have fun too."
The other three teammates were taken aback for a moment, then went up without a care.
They understood what the captain meant.
What should I say?
As expected of a powerful expert from the Envy Heaven who was able to return alive from a "top three" level world!
They would just wait passively, while the experts from Xiantian would take the initiative to attack!
They believed that following Xing Tian was the right thing to do!
I've learned something! The key to conquering dungeons is to turn the tables and take the initiative!
As long as they participate in the game, they can take the initiative regardless of whether Lu Li is alive or dead.
If Lu Li were alive, then those of them participating in the game would immediately be able to build a closer relationship with the important NPC, Pan Shuai.
If Lu Li dies, then they, as the next targets of the urban legend, will become especially important!
They might even gain some say in the Los Angeles branch of the Super Spirit Bureau!
This greatly helps them in tackling the dungeons.
They exclaimed once again: As expected of the powerful Xiantian who was able to return alive from a top-tier world!
Unfortunately, they didn't see the look of sympathy on Xing Tian's face after they sat down.
Lu Li smiled slightly and asked Pan Shuai to bring the Ouija board and chopsticks game tools that had been prepared beforehand, and then they started playing.
Speaking of games like Ouija, Spirit Tablet, and Chopstick Spirit, they all seem pretty much the same.
The Ouija board is a device where the hand shakes while holding the pen.
The Ouija board game involves placing a piece of paper with the answer written on it underneath, and then everyone presses their fingers on an upside-down plate and waits for their hands to shake.
The "Chopstick Fairy" game involves filling a bowl with water, placing chopsticks upright in the water, asking questions, and pointing the chopsticks in different directions. Of course, there are also many answers prepared in advance around the bowl of water.
Well, the main difficulty lies in how to stand the chopsticks upright and in the wind direction.
Soon enough, the spirits of the Ouija board and chopsticks were also summoned.
Although they couldn't see it, everyone felt a sense of oppression and coldness in their hearts.
It's clear they really have arrived.
So Lu Li raised his chin, pointed to the paper filled with math and physics questions, and asked the same question.
"Two sages, could you please resolve all the problems listed on this paper?"
The cold seemed to have disappeared.
The atmosphere became slightly tense.
Ten minutes passed like this.
Apart from the deliberately hushed breathing of the crowd and the ticking of the clock on the wall, there was no other sound.
Five more minutes passed.
Lu Li released his hands under the horrified gazes of Pan Shuai and the others.
Then he scratched his itchy face.
The pen used by the Ouija board was still standing there straight.
The Chopstick Spirit and the Ouija Board Spirit remained motionless.
Lu Li rested his chin on his hand, even yawning. "No way! You guys call yourselves immortals, but you can't even solve a few math and physics problems? No way, no way?"
Simple foul mouth can often bring the ultimate enjoyment.
The Ouija board was clearly losing its composure; it began to tremble violently.
Just as Lu Li appeared relaxed but was inwardly on edge, preparing to be on guard, it moved!
This pen... actually started writing formulas on the paper!
Pan Shuai's trio and Xing Tian's five-man group, who had been on high alert, were completely dumbfounded.
what?
Has the divination stick actually started providing answers?
Lu Li's eyes lit up, and he looked at the Ouija board and the chopsticks spirit, stirring things up, "It seems that the Ouija board is still the strongest. Are you two just imitating it? No wonder the rituals and functions are so similar."
Then he suddenly realized, "I understand, because it's an urban legend. You're just ordinary Ouija board spirits and chopstick spirits, so your levels are not even in the same dimension."
"That's alright then, you can go back now. It's really not shameful to not be able to answer. Besides, the Ouija board is the most famous among you, so there's nothing shameful about losing to it."
The plate and the chopsticks stuck in the bowl of water began to tremble violently.
The pen actually wrote faster and faster.
Some of the people present even sensed a sense of pride emanating from a single pen!
Then the Ouija board spirit and the chopstick spirit seemed to be angered.
The plate began to spin at high speed—drawing geometric shapes on the paper.
The chopsticks flew out of the bowl and began writing formulas on the paper with flowing strokes, even occasionally returning to the bowl to dip in water...
Seeing this, he wrote the formulas even faster with that pen.
Seeing that it was moving faster, the plate and chopsticks also started to speed up.
Then the pen sped up again.
Finally, even afterimages were written...
Even a master like Xing Tian and a superhuman like Pan Shuai couldn't clearly see the afterimage...
If these three were to commit murder, none of them would be able to escape.
As a result, they were used to compete to see who could calculate the proof faster...
Lu Li couldn't help but sigh, "Even urban legends are getting fiercely competitive these days..."
Pan Shuai, Xing Tian, and their group had gone from shocked to numb.
What the hell is this?!
Despite the tense and terrifying moment, they only felt it was absurd and funny.
After about forty minutes, the pen, plate, and chopsticks lay motionless on the coffee table, as if they had collapsed from exhaustion.
Then three sheets of paper filled with various formulas and geometric figures floated to Lu Li's side.
Lu Li picked up the three pieces of paper and looked at them. The more he looked, the happier he became, and finally, he even beamed with joy.
"Great! I'm sure Lu Li will win the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Fields Medal next year!"
Pan Shuai was even more shocked than he knew that Ouija boards, spirit boards, and chopsticks spirits could solve such currently unsolvable problems. "Old Lu! You can understand them?"
"I don't understand it." Lu Li said matter-of-factly, "It's only because I, a college graduate, can't understand it at all that it shows how profound these solutions are."
He then looked at the three corpses of the "spirits," and said, "and I believe in them."
The three "masters" were so tired that they didn't want to move.
But Lu Li had no intention of letting them go.
"Then, the second question." Lu Li smiled slightly, and the three "great immortals" shuddered.
"Among the three of you... who is the strongest?"
