Chapter 47: The Contest (1)
Just as we were wondering what the father-in-law was going to take, the eunuch came over with something the size of a round ball, which was covered with a red cloth and could not see what it was.
The prince brought the things over and put them on Emperor Xuanyuan's table, and Emperor Xuanyuan uncovered the red cloth, revealing a black ball, and he explained: " This is what I just got recently, the name is called the Thousand Heart Glass Ball, you should be able to associate it with the name, there are only two small holes on the outside of this glass ball, and there are thousands of passages inside, just like a complex labyrinth, but there is only one channel that can connect the two small holes on the outside, and the question of your game is to see who can put a thin wire through the small hole on this side in the fastest time, and come out from the other side. β
After Emperor Xuanyuan finished his introduction, all the ministers looked curiously around the glass ball, and some ministers picked up the glass ball and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't think that there was any way to complete this problem, Murong Fugui walked over and snatched the glass ball from the hands of those ministers, called Jia Ren to his side, and asked him to take the thin thread and start stringing it inside.
Looking at this glass ball, I suddenly remembered a story I had read on the earth before, there was also a small ball like this in it, maybe I could try it with the method inside, I was thinking about this, Senior Brother Yuwen suddenly patted me and reminded me: "Senior brother, why are you still standing here in a daze, why don't you hurry up and study how to complete the game, if you let Murong Fugui's kid study it first, you will lose." β
Yue'er also said anxiously: "Senior Brother Yuwen is right, let's hurry over and take a look, we can't let them take the lead." β
I shook my head and whispered: "Don't worry, this test is not so easy to complete, with Murong Fugui's IQ, it can't be completed, although Jia Ren next to him is a little smart, and he won't come up with a way so quickly." β
After finishing speaking, I took the lead in walking towards the place where there were few people, bending down to find something on the ground as I walked, Yue'er asked puzzledly: "Young master, don't you hurry up and find a way to complete the game, but you are bending over here to find something, is something important missing? Do you want me to help you find it?"
"Well, you guys hurry up and help me find an ant hole out. I said without looking up, and continued to look for the ant hole.
Senior Brother Yuwen was even more stunned, and asked even more suspiciously: "Senior Brother Tianyu, if you don't hurry up to finish the game, but you have to find an ant hole by yourself, I really don't understand what you think." β
"Oh, I don't have time to explain to you now, you can help me find it. β
The two of them didn't continue to ask, and they both began to help me find it, and the ministers over there saw that I was not only not in a hurry about the game, but also calmly bent over there to find something, and they began to talk about it.
"What is that kid from the Long family doing, Murong Gongzi is studying how to complete the game here, but he is so calm there. β
"Yes, I really don't know if this kid is really confident or big-hearted, isn't he afraid of losing the game?"
"Who knows, I think Bacheng feels that this game is too difficult, he has no way to complete the game, and he feels that Murong Gongzi definitely has no way to complete the game, so he is so calm and wandering around there. β
"Yes, yes, you have a point, it must be so. β
............
Hearing the minister's discussion, Jia Ren and Murong Fugui looked over to us, and Jia Ren reminded: "Childe, I don't know what the hell they are going to do over there, do you want me to find someone to go over and make trouble for them?"
"No need, you hurry up and find a way to finish me this game, I can't lose to that damn boy this time. Murong Fugui said viciously, and then continued to hold the glass ball with Jia Ren and try to string the thin thread.
Emperor Xuanyuan and Princess Xue'er also looked at us, and Emperor Xuanyuan whispered to the princess, "Daughter, do you think which of the two of them can win this game?"
"It should be Long Tianyu. The princess said lightly.
"Before I got married, I started talking to him, it's really a big girl. Emperor Xuanyuan joked.
Hearing Emperor Xuanyuan say this, the princess was a little unhappy and did not continue to speak. Emperor Xuanyuan felt a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and continued to look at Murong Fugui there studying how to complete the game.
Here Yue'er suddenly shouted: "Young master, come here, I found the ant hole." β
I immediately ran over, Senior Brother Yuwen also ran over, and sure enough, there was an ant hole next to Yue'er's feet, I took out a dagger from the space ring, and it took a lot of effort to dig out the entire ant hole, and found a particularly large ant, this should be the queen ant, and then grabbed a smaller male ant, and then put the entire ant hole back.
Holding the female ant and the male ant towards Murong Fugui's side, Yue'er and Senior Brother Yuwen followed behind, walked to Murong Fugui's side and said to him, "You've tried it for so long, shouldn't you let me try it once?"
Jia Ren hurriedly put the glass ball behind his back, looking like he wouldn't let me try, Yue'er said a little angrily: "This is a game presided over by His Majesty himself, you have been occupying the glass ball and not letting us see it, is it a bit too much." β
After Yue'er finished speaking, Murong Fugui said a little reluctantly: "Give them the glass ball, we have been studying for so long and have no clue, I don't believe they can find a way at once." β
Hearing Murong Fugui say this, Jia Ren took out the glass ball from behind and handed it to Yue'er, I asked Yue'er to put the glass ball on the table, and then asked her to bring a thin thread and tie it to the male ant, put the male ant into one hole of the glass ball, and then put the female ant next to the other hole of the glass ball, fixed it there, and didn't let it escape.
The ministers all came to watch, Emperor Xuanyuan and the princess also came over, and the ministers discussed.
"Are you going to ask ants to help string the thread?"
"It's so naΓ―ve, people can't think of a way to count on these two ants. β
"yes, I don't know what to think. β
............
I didn't have the energy to pay attention to the discussions of these ministers, staring at the glass ball intently, to be honest, I don't know if this method works or not, but I have seen this method before, and I have never experimented with it, I hope this method works, otherwise I will be embarrassed.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, when I was about to give up, I suddenly saw an ant head poking out of the hole where the female ant was staying, and then the ant with the red thread crawled out of the hole and kept circling around the female ant.
Seeing this scene, the ministers all fried the pot and talked about it.
"How is this possible, this ant actually succeeded. β
"yes, I really didn't expect it, is this ant a sperm?"
............
I untied the red thread from the male ant and asked Yue'er to put the male and female ants back into the ant's nest. Murong Fugui saw that I won the game with two ants, his whole face turned into pig liver, and he reprimanded Jia Ren and said: "You thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a way, you lost to two ants, what's the use of me raising you." β
I handed the thousand-heart glass ball with a thin line to Emperor Xuanyuan, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have successfully passed the thin line through the thousand-heart glass ball, is this game considered as my victory?"
Emperor Xuanyuan took the glass ball and looked at it for a long time and said: "That's right, you really won this game, I really opened my eyes today, I didn't expect ants to be so smart, tell me how you came up with this method." β
I went to it, and I had to explain how I thought of it if I won, did I say that it was a storyline that I saw on the earth before, they must have thought I was talking in a dream, I carefully recalled the storyline I had seen before, and then straightened out my thoughts and said:" In fact, this is not very difficult, the larger ant is the female ant, its status in the ant colony is equivalent to the emperor, all the ants have to revolve around it, just now I trapped it next to a hole, it will send a distress signal, this distress signal can only be received by ants, and then put a male ant tied with a thin line into another hole, although there are many channels inside the Qianxin glass ball, but only the correct channel can transmit the distress signal of the female ant, the male ant will crawl along the correct channel to save the female ant after receiving the distress signal, and it will smoothly help me pass the thin line through the Qianxin glass ballγ β
"So that's the case, Murong Fugui, you don't complain about losing this time, I don't even know about these things, by the way, where did you know this?" Emperor Xuanyuan asked curiously.
They don't necessarily know it, so they can only make it up casually, saying that they saw it from a book, and I can't remember the specific book, anyway, it is rumored that Long Tianyu has been staying at home to read books before, and they won't doubt it, and there are so many books in the Dragon Continent, and they can't read every book.
Murong Fugui and Jia Ren muttered quietly over there for a long time, and then Murong Fugui came over and said, "Your Majesty, I admit that I lost this game, but I don't accept Long Tianyu, I want to compete with him again, please allow Your Majesty." β
"I can't be the master of this, Long Tianyu, are you still willing to compete with Murong Fugui again?" Emperor Xuanyuan said and looked over to me.
I glanced at Murong Fugui and Jia Ren, and felt that the two of them couldn't toss anything, there was nothing to be afraid of, and replied: "Your Majesty, since Murong Fugui is not afraid of losing the game again and being embarrassed, I have nothing to fear. β
Hearing me say this, Murong Fugui said angrily: "Long Tianyu, don't be too rampant, don't you kid be too rampant, don't you just win a game, look at it and let you cry when you lose." β
