Chapter 32

Li Jiawei was so angry that she almost stomped her foot. It turned out that after all the time she had spent talking to him, he hadn’t listened at all, and now he was even seeking his own death!

However, it was too late for any words. Ning Yi had already reached out and grabbed one of the paper balls, and slowly unfolded it in front of the many onlookers.

“What is it?” Li Jiawei couldn’t help but ask, almost involuntarily.

Ning Yi glanced at her, his face sour. Without saying a word, he handed the paper to her.

Li Jiawei took it and was immediately stunned!

She rolled up her white, delicate hand and subconsciously prepared to tear the paper ball to pieces.

Beside her, Du Wen’s two followers, seeing Li Jiawei’s expression, immediately picked up the other two paper balls that had fallen to the ground and unfolded them.

One read, “English!”

The other read, “Martial Arts!”

Needless to say, what Ning Yi had in his hand was Math.

There was a moment of silence, and then the onlookers couldn’t help but burst into laughter!

What a joke, the person who ranked last in the school’s math exam was challenging someone who had won a math competition in the district? Compared to this, the people around would rather believe that Ning Yi might have a chance in a martial arts contest.

Li Jiawei, holding the paper in her hand, looked at Ning Yi with a gloomy expression, while the latter shrugged, looking bewildered...

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked to the window, looked down, and cursed. Even though it was only the second floor, because it was a library, the height was quite considerable, estimated to be over six meters, and the ground below was marble.

For an ordinary person, jumping from such a height would easily result in a serious injury.

“Ha ha, that waste of space, now he’s scared, isn’t he?” Zhou Cui, forgetting the pain of his face being slapped by Ning Yi and Du Ze, called out gleefully.

The others around him also chuckled silently, some even laughing heartily. Those who enjoy watching the show never fear the spectacle being too big, especially since several of them had deep grudges against Ning Yi.

If Ning Yi, that waste of space, fell, oh, it would be too tragic!

Ning Yi ignored them and said with a puzzled look, “Well... at this height, wouldn’t it be too easy if I used battle qi?”

Du Wen was stunned, thinking he was crazy. What did he mean? Did he think he could defeat him?

Then he smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, if I lose, I won’t use battle qi. Of course, you can use it. Whether you roll or jump, you can choose freely.”

He had already observed Ning Yi, and this guy’s inner energy reaction was extremely weak, meaning he couldn’t even condense battle qi, or if he did, it would be just a tiny bit. From a height of six meters, whether he fell or jumped, it would definitely hurt him.

“Since you say that, I’m reassured... By the way, you said you’d let me set the question?” Ning Yi said with a smile.

“No,” Du Wen replied with a smile, “I’ll set a question for you, and you set one for me... Of course, to avoid others saying I’m bullying you, we’ll both set questions that don’t exceed the high school level.”

“Unfair...” Li Jiawei said coldly, “Everyone knows your math is good, but Ning Yi’s math...”

“Vivi, that’s not right. First, I gave him the choice, and he chose math himself; second, I’ve already said the questions can’t exceed the high school level. You can ask everyone to judge, where is the unfairness?” Du Wen said with a slight smile.

“Class President, even though this guy talks big, he’s right this time,” Ning Yi said with a smile, stepping forward and pulling Li Jiawei’s small hand... her skin was white, fine, and icy smooth, feeling really good.

Li Jiawei clearly felt it, her face turning red. Ning Yi then lowered his voice and said, “Don’t worry, from that height of about six meters, you shouldn’t die from falling.”

Li Jiawei frowned and glared at Ning Yi. If it weren’t for the crowd, she might have strangled him on the spot.

“Hey, that white bird, let’s start setting the questions. But you brought a tablet, are you going to ask Aunt Du on the internet later?” Ning Yi asked, frowning.

Indeed, there was a powerful search engine here, but it was called Aunt Du...

Du Wen sneered, reached out, and handed the tablet to Ning Yi, “It’s not for me, it’s for you. You can look things up.”

The onlookers were stunned. This Du Wen was too arrogant, clearly determined to take advantage of Ning Yi.

But upon careful thought, while Du Wen seemed generous on the surface, math was not like Chinese or English. Even if you could look things up, you could only find formulas. How to solve the problem was not something you could get from Aunt Du, unless you were lucky and the exact problem was on the internet.

Ning Yi looked at the tablet and shook his head, “Set the question. If you want to give it to me, I’ll take it.”

“If you win, this tablet is yours,” Du Wen said with a faint smile.

“You said it.” Ning Yi grabbed the tablet again.

Li Jiawei shook her head, exclaiming, “What the heck! Is there any decency left!” She glared at him with a white eye.

Ning Yi, completely unaware, urged Du Wen, “Hurry up and set the question.”

Du Wen was speechless, thinking no one would be so quick to set themselves up for failure. But he still had someone bring paper and a pen, then sat down and quickly wrote a question on the paper.

In less than two minutes, he handed the question to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi looked at it, and Li Jiawei, who was concerned, immediately leaned over.

At this moment, she was a bit anxious and subconsciously pressed herself against Ning Yi from behind, so Ning Yi suddenly felt two full, firm peaks tightly pressing against his back.

The feeling was firm yet soft, simply wonderful. Well, this was far more effective than Du Wen’s martial arts!

Du Wen, watching from the side, was furious, but with everyone watching, he couldn’t do anything, so he could only urge, “If you can’t solve it, don’t dawdle!”

“Calculus... and a composite problem...” Li Jiawei’s face changed, her fists clenching, unaware that her peaks were still pressed against Ning Yi’s back.

Du Wen’s question was a calculus problem. Calculus in high school here was only a basic introduction, not deeply studied, so it was difficult for high school students to solve more complex problems.

But calculus was indeed within the high school curriculum, just that Du Wen had made the problem more complex.

For a liberal arts student, seeing such a long string of symbols would probably make them give up immediately, let alone solve the problem.

Li Jiawei, a top student, saw Du Wen’s question and immediately frowned. Her math wasn’t bad, but seeing this problem made her palms sweat. She couldn’t solve it, but she could see that it was indeed within the high school curriculum.

If Ning Yi could solve a problem she couldn’t, she... might as well jump off the building.

While Ning Yi’s English seemed to have improved, English could be memorized, but math, even if you memorized it, you might not be able to use it, depending on your understanding.

“So simple, I thought you’d come up with a harder problem.” But just as everyone thought Ning Yi would give up after taking the paper, he casually scanned the question and said, “Can I borrow a pen?”

Calculus was difficult, but for Ning Yi, who could almost score full marks in advanced math in college, high school calculus was a piece of cake.

High school calculus was just a foundation; the real calculus was studied in college.

“Blowing hot air!” Hearing Ning Yi’s words, someone immediately mocked him, a girl.

Ning Yi smiled, “Why don’t we make a bet? Twenty minutes, I’ll solve this problem, one-to-one odds, let’s start betting.”

“Twenty minutes, damn, you’re so confident, I’ll bet with you.” Zhou Cui, hearing this, immediately slapped down two hundred yuan on the table.

“Idiot, do you think he’s the kind of person who can put up two hundred yuan?” Du Ze sneered from the side.

Ning Yi shrugged, “Don’t worry, see the beautiful class president next to me? I don’t have money, but she does. If you don’t trust me, you can trust her.”

Li Jiawei was alarmed, this lunatic, why was he dragging her into this? More importantly, this bet was a death sentence, and she would have to take the blame?

Sure enough, when others heard this, they believed it and immediately started putting money on the table, “Damn, I’ll bet with you, you lunatic!”

In just a few minutes, Ning Yi saw that there was at least ten thousand yuan on the table, especially Du Wen, who put down two thousand yuan at once.

Damn, they were all rich!
