Good rain knows the season, It falls in spring when it's needed. Following the wind into the night, It moistens things silently.
In Liyao City, Chu Kingdom, at Xiaoxiang Academy.
After a full day of "Arithmetic class," Jiang Zichun, drenched in the misty rain, hurried back to her dormitory. After a quick wash, she immediately collapsed onto her long-neglected big bed.
She didn't want to move at all.
Recalling the "Arithmetic classes" she had been attending for the past few days, Jiang Zichun felt a wave of irritation.
To be honest, the textbooks for their "Arithmetic class" weren't bad. They were the classic Ten Books on Mathematical Art, namely Zhoubi Suanjing, Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art, Sea Island Mathematical Manual, Zhang Qiujian Suanjing, Xiahou Yang Suanjing, Five Classics of Arithmetic, Jigu Suanjing, Zhui Shu, Wucao Suanjing, and The Mathematical Classic of Sun Zi.
But for some reason, the more Jiang Zichun attended these classes, the more she felt her brain wasn't enough.
As a result, now, as soon as she closed her eyes, "Now there is a technique," "Shuai Fen Shu," "Tianyuan Technique," "Dayan Qiuyi Shu," "Zhengfu Kaifang Shu," "Gougu Shu," "Ying Busu," and so on appeared in her mind.
What was even more outrageous was that these problems would fight in her head, clashing back and forth.
Sometimes Jiang Zichun couldn't even tell what she was learning. She was getting confused.
Sigh!
Thinking that there were still three to four months before this Arithmetic class would end, Jiang Zichun felt that by then, she might not even know who she was.
"Sigh, I'll focus on learning 'Tianyuan Technique' first. As for the others, we'll see."
Actually, Jiang Zichun knew that these calculation methods had to be mastered thoroughly. Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe to venture out into the world in the future.
After all, there was already a Mind Stabilizing Supernatural Power related to the "Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage" problem. It was possible that a supernatural power derived from other "Arithmetic problems" might appear at any time, such as the typical "Hundred Chickens Problem," "Things Unknown Number," and so on.
As for whether they would appear?
At least Jiang Zichun had heard that people in her academy were already researching these things. Their appearance was only a matter of time.
Therefore, the teachers in the academy also advised their students to learn all the common problem-solving methods. Otherwise, when they left the academy and encountered new problems that they hadn't studied diligently, it would be too late to regret it.
Just then, a "ding" sound reached Jiang Zichun's mind, indicating that "Anonymous," whom she was following, had posted new news.
Upon receiving the message, Jiang Zichun immediately sat up.
For the past few days, Jiang Zichun had been the number one fan of "Master Anonymous" in the academy. She had naturally followed the person on the Heavenly Dao Virtual Net, determined not to miss any news from this master.
However, this Master Anonymous was rather unusual. It had been several days since they became famous, yet they hadn't revealed any other information besides the [Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage] Supernatural Power they had uploaded at the beginning. It was as if they were about to retire from the martial arts world.
This actually made Jiang Zichun very sad. If the other party didn't respond to her, then her status as the "number one fan" seemed useless.
At one point, Jiang Zichun wished she were that "Anonymous." With fame, she could find an opportunity to reveal herself and easily enjoy everyone's adoration.
Alas...
"Let this young lady see what new post there is?"
"Supplement to Supernatural Power? It's this? I thought it was a reply."
Jiang Zichun looked at the '[Mathematics: Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage] Supernatural Power Supplement' before her and muttered softly. She continued reading the explanation.
"Fifty thousand new problems? It seems they've adopted my suggestion."
Upon seeing the first explanation in the supplement, a bright smile appeared on Jiang Zichun's face. In her opinion, this was definitely 'Master Anonymous' seeing her suggestion, which led to this 'Supplement.' Therefore, she considered herself a participant, and how could this not make her, the number one fan, happy.
"Re-categorizing levels? This~, originally there were three levels, are there more now?"
"There's also a new function? What is this? It's so mysterious, they don't explain it clearly."
Although the new function wasn't explained above, Jiang Zichun's curiosity had been piqued. The next moment, she unhesitatingly purchased this newly appeared "Supernatural Power Supplement," costing a total of one Luck Point.
"So cheap? Master won't be losing money this time?"
In Jiang Zichun's mind, not to mention anything else, just these fifty thousand new problems would require a large amount of manpower and resources to solve, let alone organize and categorize them.
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore."
After a while, unable to figure it out, Jiang Zichun decided not to dwell on this troublesome issue. It was better to test this "Supernatural Power Supplement" thoroughly first, lest any mistakes occur when using it in the future, which would be terrible.
Subsequently, Jiang Zichun sank her consciousness into her Soul Space and guided the small point of light that had just appeared in her Soul Space to merge into the transparent phantom in the center of her Soul Space.
This transparent phantom was actually the initial version of the [Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage] Supernatural Power.
After the Supernatural Power Supplement merged, Jiang Zichun then used her mind to re-contact this merged Supernatural Power Phantom.
"There are actually fifty thousand problems, and they're all unique?
It seems memorizing answers is completely out. From now on, I'll have to calculate step by step. I won't be able to cheat anymore. From this perspective, this supernatural power should be even more powerful."
Seeing this, Jiang Zichun suddenly felt that her hard work over the past few days had not been in vain. In her heart, even the annoying "Arithmetic class" seemed to have become lovable.
Suddenly, Jiang Zichun shook her head vigorously. "What am I thinking? How could that detestable Arithmetic class become lovable? Something must be wrong."
"I'd better quickly check the next item."
"The levels have been re-categorized. From the original three levels, it has been changed to five levels now."
"Hmm~ This time it's divided by the number of digits for the number of beasts and birds. One digit, two digits, up to five digits. This is more reasonable."
Actually, Jiang Zichun herself felt that categorizing levels was difficult. If it were purely based on difficulty, it would indeed be troublesome and inaccurate. It was better to have a simple and direct method like this.
Moreover, the creator master also provided another method of division, or rather, a search method, to assist the supernatural power owner in managing these numerous problems.
For example, you can set the "number of digits for the number of beasts and birds" or select a "range for the number of beasts and birds."
Also, you can set whether the "number of heads" and "number of legs" for beasts and birds are fixed or random, or you can directly set a range for the numbers.
All of the above has only one purpose: to allow the owner of the supernatural power to more easily select suitable questions to achieve their goals.
This is actually like searching. After selecting the "Xianxia" major category, there are many subcategories, such as "Cultivation Civilization," "Fantasy Cultivation," "Modern Cultivation," "Mythological Cultivation," and "Classical Xianxia."
Then, by setting conditions such as word count and update time, you can more conveniently find what you want.
To be honest, just implementing these cost Lu Mingyuan tens of thousands of dollars.
Uh, actually, it was tens of thousands of Luck Points.
Although implementing these might be very simple for Lu Mingyuan, it's just a search system. But for Jiang Zichun, her mind was filled with endless confusion.
This function is useful, but how was it made? It seems like it has never appeared before?
Helplessly, Jiang Zichun's little head had too small a capacity to figure anything out, so she could only bow down and shout "666."
"Let's look at the next item!"
"Answers are not fixed? What does that mean? Answers can be unfixed?"
No way, Jiang Zichun had to choose a specific example to look at.
"Now there are beast Jia, with six heads and four legs; beast Yi, with four heads and two legs; beast Bing, with five heads and three legs. Currently, there are one hundred and nineteen heads and seventy-one legs in total. Question: How many beast Jia, beast Yi, and beast Bing are there?"
This...
It seems a bit difficult.
