Seeing Lin Xiaoyue arrive, Liu Wuji did not delay any further.

After letting everyone take their seats, he began to teach.

“This morning, I’m mainly going to tell you the rules of tomorrow’s compet.i.tion and the background of Chu Jin’s envoy.”

Everyone kept quiet and looked at Liu Wuji seriously.

Liu Wuji continued.

“The rules of the compet.i.tion are very simple.”

“There will be two rounds, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.”

“From morning to noon and from noon to afternoon. It will last for four hours.”

“The Great Yan will start first. You will come forward and answer the arithmetic questions raised by Chu Jin’s envoy and vice versa in the second half.”

“There are a total of ten questions.”

“You get one point for every question you answer correctly. At the same time, you can only see the next question if you answer the previous question correctly or if you give up on the question.”

“Note that there will be no points for the questions you give up, and you cannot answer them again.”

Lin Xiaoyue and the others looked at each other with solemn expressions.

Four hours to answer ten questions.

On average, each question would take 24 minutes to answer.

However, there were definitely difficult and easy questions. Some of the questions would probably take more than 24 minutes to solve.

It was not good enough to strictly follow this time to decide whether to pa.s.s or not.

Liu Wuji looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“My suggestion is to use fifteen minutes as the limit. After fifteen minutes, if you find that you have no idea how to solve the problem, you can choose to pa.s.s.”

“Of course, after 15 minutes, if you think there’s still hope, you can extend the time to 25 minutes.”

“However, if you still haven’t figured out the answer after 25 minutes, you’ll not be able to find the answer. No matter what, you have to give up to avoid affecting the time for answering the questions later.”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

The others nodded in agreement.

It was necessary to set such a rule in advance to avoid any problems.

“This is the first half of the match,” Liu Wuji continued.

“After the compet.i.tion ends, no matter what happens, the Emperor and the important ministers of the Great Yan will invite Chu Jin and you to a banquet.” “No matter what the outcome of the compet.i.tion is, you must all calm down.” Liu Wuji said. “Actually, there’s nothing else you can do at that point.” Lin Xiaoyue and the others were confused.

“Because in the second half of the game, you basically don’t have to do anything. All you need to do is to help show the questions that the Great Yan has given to the Chu Jin envoy.”

“Ever since the three kingdoms made peace, Chu Jin added the requirements for this Arithmetic Compet.i.tion. The emperor has already started making arrangements.”

“Therefore, in the second half, the Great Yan will be the defending team. You don’t need to worry about the questions that will be given.”

“What you have to do this afternoon is to choose ten questions from hundreds of questions as the examination questions.”

Everyone was surprised, but then they felt that everything was within reason.

Then, they felt much more relaxed.

They didn’t need to come up with the questions, so the pressure was reduced by half.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Liu Wuji smiled.

“Next, let me introduce the envoy that Chu Jin sent over this time…”

Then, Liu Wuji told everyone about Chu Jin’s envoy.

It turned out that Chu and Jin had also sent three people to compete with them.

Among them, there was one person from Chu and two from Jin.

The two representatives from Jin were not stronger than Chu’s, but they were master and disciple. The one who was the master was not inferior to Liu Wuji. “Xu Yan has always been arrogant. Previously, despite the repeated invitations from the Jin royal family, he never agreed.”

“But this time…I am also a little surprised that he agreed to come to the Great Yan.” Liu Wuji frowned.

When he was young, he had followed his master to visit Xu Yan’s master. He had spent some time with Xu Yan.

At that time, Xu Yan displayed extremely strong talent.

Be it in terms of literary talent or martial strategy, they were both extremely strong. In fact, they were even on par with him.

After so many years, he was busy with other things and did not study much about arithmetic. However, he heard that Xu Yan had been studying it with great concentration.

Therefore, even if Chu Jin didn’t forbid him from partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, he actually didn’t have the confidence to defeat Xu Yan.

As for his granddaughter…

For some reason, he felt that she might be able to create a miracle.

Lin Xiaoyue was a little puzzled when she heard Liu Wuji praise Xu Yan so much.

As for Liang Chengcai and the others, their faces were already dyed with panic..
