The most intelligent general in the world

Chapter 292 Intelligence Test

"Zexi, it's your turn to ask questions." Mr. Kuimu said loudly.

"Coming, coming, right here." As soon as the words fell, a man in a casual suit appeared in front of Zhang Liang. He was Zexi.

Zexi is tall and slightly thin, looking petite compared to the tall entrepreneur, with slender and powerful fingers, sharp eyes and neatly trimmed short hair.

His whole body exudes a capable aura, his exquisite tie is faintly visible at the collar, his lips are thin and sharp, his short beard is slightly elegant, and the low-key pinky ring is easily overlooked.

Zexi looked at Zhang Liang again, trying to find out what was special about him. However, after observing for a long time, he still found nothing. But if he had no special qualities, Yuebai would not be so disappointed. Yuebai was usually arrogant and self-respecting, and the person who could make him lower his posture must have special qualities.

Zexi realized that he had to ask a question, which meant that Zhang Liang had passed the first two levels and could no longer ask simple questions. However, Yunfan's question had almost no effect.

Zexi hesitated between difficult questions and easy questions, and finally decided to go with the right amount. Mr. Kuimu reminded Zexi that it was time to ask questions. He felt a little tired of having to remind the participants every time.

"Hehe, I get it. Then, I'll start asking questions." Zexi stroked his chin gently and looked at Zhang Liang.

"Well, let's start." Zhang Liang responded.

Zexi stopped thinking and started to ask questions seriously.

“How about we play a word game?”

"Can."

"I'm not asking you, I'm just telling you. Please keep quiet while I'm speaking." Zexi was a little dissatisfied, unhappy that Zhang Liang interrupted him.

Zhang Liang felt a little embarrassed, so he nodded and said nothing more, so as not to upset Ze Xi again.

Zexi looked at Zhang Liang and chuckled. In fact, he was just joking. He didn't expect Zhang Liang to be so obedient. It seemed that he was an easy person to get along with.

"Okay, I'll continue. One day, a parrot went to work. Because there was not much food at home, he asked his fellow villager to take a letter and some food to his wife. The fellow villager secretly opened the letter and found that there was no words on the letter, only a picture."

“Guess what it is?”

"have no idea."

"I knew you couldn't guess. I told you, there is a tree in the painting, and there are eight starlings and four turtledoves on the tree. The fellow villager thought that since the letter didn't say how much food there was, it wouldn't hurt to take some."

"But when he met the parrot's wife, she read the letter and said, how can a person be dishonest. It clearly said to take 100 worms, but now there are only 50 left. The fellow villagers were very confused. Do you know why?"

Zhang Liang sorted out the problem and grasped the key point - the eight starlings and four turtledoves on the tree.

Zexi thought this question was enough to stump Zhang Liang.

Kuimu had been waiting for Zhang Liang to answer Zexi's question. However, seeing that Zhang Liang was indifferent, could it be that he could not handle the third question?

Kuimu almost believed that Zhang Liang could save the city, but now Zhang Liang's silence seemed to mean that he had no answer.

Zhang Liang’s silence was like a bolt from the blue to Kuimu. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Kuimu should have had lower expectations of Zhang Liang earlier, so he wouldn't be so disappointed now.

At this moment, Zhang Liang had no idea of ​​Kuimu’s complicated thoughts.

Just when Zexi and Kuimu were about to declare Zhang Liang a failure, Zhang Liang finally spoke.

"I understand." he said softly.

Zexi and Kuimu didn't hear clearly, so they asked together: "What did you say?"

"I know the reason." Zhang Liang looked up and looked directly at Zexi and responded.

"Okay, tell me about it." Zexi continued.

“八只八哥代表8x8，等于64；四只斑鸠代表4x9，等于36。两者相加，总共100。所以鹦鹉的妻子知道同乡人一定拿走了粮食。“张良肯定地回答。

After listening to it, Zexi nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are right, congratulations on your correct answer."

Kuimu was delighted when he heard Zhang Liang's answer. He said to Zhang Liang, "Haha, young man, I knew I was right about you. You can definitely help our city change everything."

As Kuimu said these words, he completely forgot his previous disappointment and also forgot that he had ever blamed himself for having too high expectations of Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was not aware of Kuimu's previous doubts, but only felt that their confidence in him had increased. He smiled at Kuimu to show his gratitude.

Zhang Liang saw that the intelligence test had already gone through three questions. Although the first question did not require any technical skills, it was still part of the test.

"How long will the intelligence test take to end? We have already finished three questions. How many questions are there in total?" Zhang Liang asked Kuimu.

Kuimu looked at Zhang Liang's anxious look and felt a little worried. If Zhang Liang lacked patience, all the tests would fail.

"It's almost done. There are only one or two more questions left. Don't be impatient, young man. How can you achieve great things if you are impatient?" Kuimu said earnestly.

After hearing this, Zhang Liang said no more.

While Zhang Liang was talking to Kuimu, Zexi was still standing aside. After they finished talking, he looked at Zhang Liang carefully again.

I never expected that this ordinary person would have such talent. I will definitely ask him for advice when I have the chance in the future.

Zhang Liang looked at Zexi who was staring at him, nodding and shaking his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Liang did not disturb Zexi who was deep in thought, but waited patiently for him to finish his thoughts.

After waiting for a long time, Zexi still didn't speak, and the fourth questioner didn't show up.

Just when Zhang Liang was about to communicate with Zexi, Zexi spoke first.

"Oh, I have to admit that you are very smart!" Zexi said with a smile.

"Not bad." Faced with the praise, Zhang Liang was at a loss and could only respond indifferently.

"Our city has placed its hopes on you. You can't let us down." Zexi whispered in the cafe, bringing some pressure to Zhang Liang who was sitting opposite him.

"Well, I will do my best." Zhang Liang answered frankly.

"Then I wish you can pass this challenge quickly, and thank you for your willingness to help us." Ze Xi looked at Zhang Liang and felt that he was more and more unfathomable. After saying this, he leaned forward slightly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, I will definitely solve this messy problem. Please wait patiently for my good news." Zhang Liang was deeply grateful for Zexi's blessing.

"Okay, we will take your words seriously." Zexi responded to Zhang Liang with a smile.

"Okay, now that the third level has been passed, let's quickly invite the person who sets the questions for the fourth level to appear." Kuimu said on the side, thinking that it was time to speed up the progress.

After listening to this, Zexi pursed his lips, stood up and left.

Then, the person who set the fourth level came over. He was a young man wearing a deerskin jacket with a six-petal flower pattern tattooed on his back, which made him look particularly unique.

There are all kinds of people in this city, from all walks of life.

The young man's attire is very strange. He doesn't quite look like a deer. Only the patterns on his horns and tail are unique.

His face resembles a horse but is not, his hooves resemble those of a cow but are not, his tail resembles that of a donkey but is different, and the antler-like decoration on his head is also unique. It is a typical mix-and-match style.

Zhang Liang really couldn't describe his appearance accurately.

The young man came to Zhang Liang with a slightly funny smile.

Zhang Liang smiled back politely.

"Hello, sir. My name is Mu Chen. These are the questions for the fourth level, and I will be the one setting the questions." The young man introduced himself politely. Well, let's just call him Young Man for now.

"Okay, you ask the questions." Zhang Liang admired Mu Chen, who was serious and responsible.

"Please listen to the question. There is a vendor setting up a stall in a busy city, selling two kinds of secrets: one is a must-have for family financial management, and the other is a way to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. The secrets are very mysterious, and they are always packed in thick envelopes and placed in front of the stall for three hundred yuan. A customer bought one home and opened it. There were only four words on the paper, which made him laugh and cry. He said he was cheated. Can you guess what the four words are?" Mu Chen finished speaking in one breath, took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing.

"Let me think about it." Zhang Liang couldn't help but find it funny as he watched Mu Chen say so much in one breath.

"Okay, take your time to think about it." Mu Chen also slowed down his breathing.

When Kuimu heard this question, he found it quite difficult. He himself could not think of an answer and wondered whether Zhang Liang could solve it.

Kuimu cast a sharp gaze at Zhang Liang, with both worry and expectation. If Zhang Liang could not answer, then the hope of this city would have to look to someone else.

While Mu Chen was still gasping for breath, Zhang Liang had already thought of the answer.

"The first two words are diligence and thrift, and the second two words are early release," Zhang Liang replied.

Zhang Liang's answer left Kuimu confused, and he asked Zhang Liang blankly why he did so.

Zhang Liang explained: "If you want to get rich, you must be frugal first, so that you can accumulate wealth faster. As for ending the party early, if you want to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, then end the party early and you won't get drunk."

Mu Chen nodded with satisfaction, and Zhang Liang's answer also made the other animals understand the meaning.

"Zhang Liang, not bad, not bad, you have passed the intelligence test." Kuimu nodded with satisfaction, turned to the other onlookers and the questioner, and asked, "What do you think?"

"Agree, agree." The animals responded in unison. Some wanted to challenge Zhang Liang with another question, but they couldn't think of a more difficult one, so they took the step back and gave up.

"It's finally over." Zhang Liang said to himself.

"Kuimu, can I leave now?" Zhang Liang asked.

Although using such questions to test intelligence is somewhat useful, in real life, these word traps or brain teasers are not of much value.

It was just for fun, he hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time. But those little animals were really cute, out of this affection, Zhang Liang insisted on completing this boring game.

"Of course, I can recommend a tour guide to show you around here." Kuimu smiled cunningly.

"No need, I'll just stroll around by myself." Zhang Liang declined.

"Mr. Zhang Liang, there is no need to refuse. It is our honor to show you around here. All the animals will welcome you with the greatest enthusiasm." Kuimu continued.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to be alone." Zhang Liang still refused and left.

Not long after Zhang Liang left, a red and green parrot flew to Kuimu and whispered to him.

"What should we do? He won't let our tour guide lead the way. How should we proceed with our next plan?" the parrot asked in a low voice.

"It's okay. Go to the Ruoshui River right now and inform the two sisters to carry out the next plan." Kuimu looked in the direction where Zhang Liang left and said slowly.

"Yes."

After the parrot finished speaking, it flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing into the distance.

"Zhang Liang, I saw everything. Congratulations, you have passed the intelligence test we prepared for you." The little tree spirit jumped out from somewhere, landed in front of Zhang Liang, and said with a smile.

"There's nothing to congratulate. I think nine out of ten people can answer this kind of question, right? Have you underestimated me, or are you the only ones who can come up with questions of this level?" Zhang Liang pointed at the little tree elf and shrugged helplessly.

"My great benefactor, don't say that. Everything in the world is reincarnated, and the end of the most difficult thing is the simplest. It's about simplifying the complex." The little tree spirit answered seriously.

"You have such a good head for coming up with twisted ideas." Zhang Liang gently poked the tree spirit's long nose.

"This is what Grandpa Tree taught me. How can it be considered as fallacy!" The little tree spirit shook off Zhang Liang's hand, his hair standing on end, and retorted with a pout.

Grandpa Tree was the person he respected the most, so how could he tolerate Zhang Liang questioning the principles taught by Grandpa Tree?
