Chapter 295 Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage
Wu Heyi walked steadily to the tower, which exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.
There is a transparent light curtain at the entrance on the first floor. The light curtain is like a crystal clear mirror, reflecting strange light.
Filled with curiosity and trepidation, Wu Heyi gently touched it, and in an instant, a gentle force enveloped his entire body, and he directly entered the first level of the Tower of Divine Examination.
Wu Heyi slowly opened his eyes, still slightly disoriented by the sudden shift in time and space.
He found himself in a vast space, so vast that he could see to the very end with his own eyes.
However, even so, this space is still larger than imagined; Wu Heyi estimated that it covers an area of at least one square kilometer.
He looked up and saw that the space above him was ridiculously high, so high that it seemed to reach straight into the clouds, inspiring awe and fear.
Despite being in such an environment, Wu Heyi did not feel any discomfort. He tried moving different parts of his body, and all his physical attributes were normal.
"From the outside, the tower only looks like it occupies about a hundred square meters, I never expected the interior space to be so big!"
Wu Heyi stood in the very center of the field, continuing to observe the changes around him. At this moment, the surroundings were so quiet that only his own breathing could be heard.
Suddenly, a solemn voice quietly appeared above Wu Heyi's head.
The sound seemed to pierce through layers of space, echoing throughout the vast expanse:
"The first test of the Nine Emperors' Divine Examination is divided into three stages. The first stage is intelligence!"
Wu Heyi immediately perked up, knowing that this test was no easy task.
Then the voice said, "Now in front of you is a giant cage, which looks enormous and incredibly sturdy."
Inside this cage, two races are engaged in a life-or-death duel. One of them is a giant dragon lizard, whose body is covered with hard scales, each scale as if it were made of metal, gleaming coldly and exuding a powerful and ferocious aura.
The other side consists of Soul Masters. Although they do not appear as strong as the giant dragon lizards, they possess a unique resilience.
The total number of lives in the cage is now known to be 1 million!
He paused, then slowly continued:
"From now on, every minute that passes in the cage is equivalent to a year. Every year, 50% of the Soul Masters will be eaten by the giant dragon lizards."
It's important to note that this eating process is extremely cruel and bloody; the giant dragon lizard will open its gaping maw and devour the Soul Masters one by one.
Given that the total number of legs of all living beings is 2200 million, how many Soul Masters are there at this time, and how many giant dragon lizards are there?
"The timer will start in one minute. You have one minute to prepare and ask me any questions related to the question but not the answer!"
After hearing this question, Wu Heyi felt speechless. He thought to himself that although the number seemed large, it was actually just a chicken-and-rabbit problem. However, the question was not rigorous enough.
He figured he had to make sure he got all the details right in that minute of preparation time, otherwise he might fall into a trap.
Therefore, Wu Heyi planned to use this minute of questioning time to solidify this imprecise question.
Q: Are there any Soul Masters who are under six years old?
Wu Heyi asked with a serious expression and a clear voice.
Because he knew that if there were children among them, even if he solved the problem within a minute, he might still be judged as having answered incorrectly due to this variable.
After all, children under the age of 6 have not yet awakened their martial souls, and their situation is different from that of soul masters who have already awakened their martial souls.
Answer: No!
Wu Heyi was delighted to hear this answer, as it eliminated one of the uncertainties.
He didn't stop for a moment.
Q: Will Soul Masters produce the next generation over time?
Wu Heyi's mind was very quick, and he continued to ask questions. If this factor is not clear, it will have a great impact on the result. If the number of Soul Masters increases over time, then this problem will basically be unsolvable.
A: The number of Soul Masters will only decrease, not increase, over time.
Wu Heyi almost chuckled aloud after hearing this; another variable had been resolved.
He knew that if he didn't ask this question, there would ultimately be no correct answer, because the number of Soul Masters was constantly changing, and if this change wasn't clear, the entire problem-solving approach would fall into chaos.
Q: When calculating the number of Soul Masters, is the settlement time calculated in seconds or minutes?
Wu Heyi raised another crucial question. In this situation, different settlement times will directly affect the outcome.
A: The calculation is done by the minute. The number of Soul Masters remains unchanged until the time enters the next minute interval!
Upon hearing this answer, Wu Heyi was basically relieved. This confirmation provided crucial information for his subsequent problem-solving.
Q: Is it possible for humans to kill giant lizards?
Wu Heyi looked at the countdown above his head, which showed only ten seconds left. Although he thought the question sounded a bit silly, he felt he should still confirm it to avoid any unexpected changes.
"Answer: The giant dragon lizard can never be defeated by a Soul Master!" Upon hearing this answer, Wu Heyi could no longer suppress the smile on his face!
Within that minute, he eliminated all uncertainties through this series of questions, and now he was full of confidence to face the challenge of solving the problem.
"One minute preparation time is over, start the timer!"
The time above your head is first reset to zero, and then it starts counting down in seconds.
"My answer is: 100 million giant dragon lizards and 900 million Soul Masters!"
At this moment, the timer above Wu Heyi's head had only reached 00:08.
He confidently stated the answer, which was the result of his careful consideration and calculation.
After the timer stopped, a voice fell.
"The answer is absolutely correct!"
After the sound faded, the giant cage in front of them and the timer above their heads all disappeared.
"You are the smartest human I have ever met. You gave the correct answer in less than 10 seconds!"
A defiant voice rang out, causing Wu Heyi to nervously look around frantically.
"Can you tell me how you calculated the answer so quickly?" A small dragon-man figure, entirely red, slowly approached from a distance.
However, the opponent's speed was incredibly fast. Originally, they were seven or eight hundred meters away, but in just a few dozen steps, they were right in front of Wu Heyi.
As soon as the sound faded, the giant cage that had entered Wu He's field of vision and the ticking timer above his head vanished as if they had never existed.
"You are the smartest human I have ever met. You gave the correct answer in less than 10 seconds!"
The voice rang out again, and Wu Heyi was startled involuntarily. Who was speaking?
The voice carried an air of arrogance, as if possessing an invisible intimidating force, instantly making Wu Heyi tense.
He couldn't help but look around, searching for the source of the sound, his eyes filled with vigilance.
"Can you tell me how you calculated the answer so quickly?"
Just as Wu Heyi was searching around, a small dragon-man figure with a crimson body appeared in the distance and then slowly walked over.
Wu Heyi's gaze was instantly drawn to it. He saw that the scales on the little dragon-man's body shimmered with a red light under the light, like burning flames. Although it looked somewhat similar to humans, it also had unique dragon characteristics, such as the dragon tail that was faintly visible on its back and the small dragon horns on its head, all of which highlighted its unique identity.
However, his speed was undeniably fast. What seemed like a distance of seven or eight hundred meters was actually quite a distance.
But it only took a few dozen steps and walked right up to Wu Heyi as if no one else was there.
Wu Heyi could clearly hear his own heart pounding. He stared silently at the little dragon that had suddenly appeared before him, wondering what would happen next.
