"Here's the problem: There are several chickens and rabbits. Together, they have eighty-eight heads and two hundred forty-four feet. How many chickens and rabbits are there?"
As soon as he finished reading the question, Ashan immediately said, "Buzz in!"
Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping exchanged a glance, seeing the despair in each other's eyes. Then they both turned in unison toward Feng Yu'er, who was bent over her desk, writing furiously.
In less than a minute, Feng Yu'er finished calculating and answered crisply, "Teacher Yue Ying, there are fifty-four chickens and thirty-four rabbits."
Ashan nodded and said with satisfaction, "Correct answer. Feng Yu'er is awarded one Question Point!"
Then, with a dark expression, he looked at Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping. "What is wrong with you two? With this kind of attitude toward learning, how are you supposed to become qualified Researchers within a hundred years? Hm? Your homework is doubled today!"
The two wilted like roses, their petals falling one by one.
Only after truly entering a state of study did Feng Cheng and Yun Qingping understand just how vast the gap between themselves and Feng Yu'er was!
Then they looked again at Teacher Yue Ying, who appeared to be no more than fourteen years old. After a year, they had discovered that this unimpressive-looking person was the truly terrifying one.
It was as though he had been born knowing everything. No matter what problem he encountered, he could explain it with perfect clarity, leaving no room for rebuttal. And there was no need to rebut him anyway—they all understood that whatever Yue Ying said was correct.
The key was that they had never heard anyone else mention any of the things Yue Ying taught!
Things like "Arabic Numerals," "Vertical Arithmetic," "Multiplication Table," "Distributive Associative Commutative Laws," "Angle Measurement,"
