Xu Wen did not participate in this new game.

He just watched from the sidelines throughout the whole process, listening attentively to the questions raised by the middle-aged man and calmly assessing them.

To be honest, he was a little surprised.

The questions raised by this middle-aged man were not prepared in advance, but were improvised by him and asked on the fly.

The first question of chickens and rabbits in the same cage is indeed the original question of Sun Tzu's algorithm - this is what Yan Jiangguan told him after he finished this question a few days ago. And the following questions, each of which he came up with on the spot, covered everything from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to unary equations to the Pythagorean theorem, which happened to be what Xu Wen had taught them recently.

Of course, Xu Wen didn't teach out of thin air, he used the basic textbook, which was the set that Yan Jiangguan showed him at the beginning.

The middle-aged man's question fits this set perfectly, one indicates that he knows very well what it is, and is likely to be a deep participant in it, and on the other hand, it also shows that he has expertise in this area.

According to the syllabus, the paper is examined, and it is also a matter of hard work.

It is certainly not a coincidence that in such a place, such a person happens to be encountered. What's more, Yan Jiangguan should have been the one he wanted to visit at the beginning.

In an instant, Xu Wen thought of the Three Hundred People Plan of the Western Desert, the Dragon Temple, Lin Xie, and even the Yun Niang in Lin Xie's mouth.

Lin Xie came with this middle-aged man, and he seemed to be a "relational household". That "Yun Niang" intended to let him learn this, and stuffed him into the team to follow him, was he optimistic about the development of this area, and wanted to find a way out for him?

Is this a one-sided judgment of a deep boudoir woman, or a far-sighted and sincere plan?

Through this one-sided information, Xu Wen seems to see a wider world.

Xu Wen had already thought of going 108,000 miles away, and Lin Xie next to him didn't notice it, still staring at Jiang Wangfeng and answering their questions, very focused.

Jiang Wangfeng planned at the beginning that whoever answered the question correctly would be out, but it turned out to be crooked from the second round, and the game completely became a rush to answer, and the competition was who answered quickly and accurately.

Jiang Wangfeng, Tian Jifeng, Sun Si, Chen Wannian and all the young craftsmen of the Western Desert team all performed very actively, and the same was true for those whose strength was obviously weaker and could not grab the first place.

And it's clear that none of them came for the money bag in the middle-aged man's hand - they kept an eye on the middle-aged man's mouth, not his hand.

They just like to see the hunting heart, and like the process of answering questions like this!

"Really...... Is it so interesting?" Lin Xie muttered to himself, confused.

"Yes. Xu Wen suddenly came back to his senses and nodded, "Truth or something, different positions have different speeches, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable." But the math ...... There is only one answer, and it is the only one. ”

"The only one. Lin Xie repeated, as if he understood something, but also as if he was still confused.

The performance of the young craftsmen of the West Desert team was very good, and the problems of the middle-aged people could not really stump them. Even if the last two questions were a little difficult, they calculated for a while, but in the end they succeeded in coming up with the correct answer and got the middle-aged man's two ten copper plates.

Among the more than 20 people, Jiang Wangfeng and Tian Jifeng answered the most questions correctly, and theoretically the two of them should also get the most money.

But the two of them didn't care about this, threw all the money to Xu San for safekeeping, and announced in public: "We'll have a treat when we go back in a while, and invite everyone to have a good meal!"

More than 100 copper plates and more than 20 people were actually not enough to eat anything good, but everyone still cheered and was happy and lively.

"It's a good feeling. Lin Xie said softly, feeling a little envious.

"The poor are poor, the poor are happy. Xu Wen smiled.

The middle-aged man was also looking at them, thoughtful. After a while, he turned around and said a few words to another middle-aged man with a mustache next to him and Yan Jiangguan, who showed a surprised expression and nodded.

"Looks like you won't be able to leave tomorrow. Lin Xie looked over there and said to Xu Wen.

"What?" Xu Wen looked at him puzzled, and suddenly felt that this person seemed to be a different person compared to when they first met.

Lin Xie didn't explain, waved his hand at him, and took the initiative to walk to the middle-aged man's side.

The middle-aged man and the mustache bowed very inconspicuously, and Xu Wen noticed it and raised his eyebrows.

Yan Jiangguan said a few more words to the two and walked over to them.

"Good performance. He praised them in a very good mood, and nodded to Xu Wen, "Thanks to you." ”

very simply recognized Xu Wen's credit in this matter, which is a rare thing. Xu Wen's heart moved slightly, and he returned to pay a greeting.

"Congratulations to all of you for earning an opportunity with your performance. We don't have to go on the road right away tomorrow, Master Fan asked us to stay here for one more day and do some work with them. Yan Craftsman announced to them angrily.

"You guys are very lucky, this job should have been counted in the service errand, but Lord Fan is kind and lets you go to the West Desert to officially serve again, this time even if he invites you. Tomorrow's work will be counted according to the work, and the work will not be counted in the total score, but will be converted into money for you. Don't you have no money to buy anything for the winter? You can take this opportunity to earn a few copper plates and buy something. Craftsman Yan said with a smile and looked around at all of them.

Someone asked them to do the work, and there was money?

The young craftsmen were overjoyed, and many of them burst out laughing.

Xu Wen thought about it and raised his hand.

Craftsman Yan looked at him and nodded at him, signaling that he could speak.

"I have a couple of questions. First, will it be these people who are here now, or all of us, who will come to work tomorrow?" he asked.

"All. Yan Jiangguan said without hesitation.

Three hundred people together is a big job.

"What are we going to do in advance, what tools are we going to bring tomorrow?" asked Xu again.

"I'll gather everyone tonight and let you know. Craftsman Yan waved his hand and told them to go back first, then turned around and went back to the Dragon Temple.

"What do you say now, go back and wait for news?" Jiang Wangfeng and the others gathered around Xu Wen and waited for him to decide, looking at him with great trust.

"Hmm......" Xu Wen looked at the sky, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still early before it got dark.

"It's still early, you have something else to do first. If not, I suggest you stay and see this dragon temple more. I guess tomorrow's work will have something to do with it. Xu asked.

"Could that have something to do with what we've learned during this time?" Jiang Wangfeng's eyes lit up and he asked.

"I think it will. Xu Wen nodded at him.

Then, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Do you really think your team can win?"

At the same time, in the backyard of the Dragon God Palace, Fan Zhenggao asked Yan Jiangguan with a serious expression.

"When Niangniang first decided to build this team, no one was optimistic about our group of mud legs. Now, it's only been ten days on the road. Yan Jiangguan said slowly.

Fan Zhenggao was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

On the other side of the Dragon God Palace, a middle-aged craftsman shook his hand, his brows twisted almost into knots.

"What? Let's bet on winning or losing with a bunch of newly graduated little hairy heads?!"

"There are also experienced old people, just a little less. The man who came to report added.

"The little guys who just passed by Jincheng and are going to serve in the Western Desert......" This prime-aged craftsman straightened up, his bearing was dignified, and he naturally showed a grandmaster style.

"I remember, that new apprentice you took in was also in there?" After a moment, he turned around and asked.

The man was holding a bowl of tea and drinking it slowly, the rough big leaf tea was not a good product, but he drank it very seriously, squinting his eyes as if he was enjoying it a little. Half of his body was hidden in the shadow of the eaves, and only a faint silhouette could be seen.

"Well, do you want to raise again? If you lose, give me what I want." The man lifted his eyelids and said nonchalantly.

"You can even see that thing...... No, you asked for it for your apprentice?" the middle-aged craftsman narrowed his eyes, and suddenly understood.

The man was silent.

“...... I don't dare bet with you, don't you dare bet with your apprentice?! Okay, if he wins tomorrow, I'll give him that thing. If he loses, you will give me the scroll of the true carpentry!" said the young craftsman.

"I told you that thing is no longer in my possession. But......," the man smiled, "well, I'll bet on you." ”
