Another World: How to Practice Without Spiritual Energy

Chapter 372 The Green Family's Eyes

"128 also meets the requirements!"

“3 乘 42 加 2 是 128，5 乘 25 加 3 是 128，7 乘 18 加 2 还是 128。”

"So the answer, besides 23, could also be 128, or even a larger number."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear the crackling of the burning lanterns.

Everyone was stunned—no one had ever imagined that an arithmetic problem could have two answers!

Nikki clenched his fists even tighter, his knuckles turning white, staring intently at Chen Xian, his eyes seeming to want to devour him alive.

Taiwan, however, still wore a smile.

"Although this fox-person answered two questions correctly, he has already won."

"But I still want to write out this last question."

"Anyone who can answer correctly can become a servant in tomorrow's Taiwan."

The Taiwanese voice had just faded away.

The hall erupted in cheers.

"The grand prize tomorrow? Then can we answer the last question?"

"That's great! I thought I had no chance, the curator is so thoughtful!"

"Isn't this obviously giving young master Nicky a way out...? But it's worth it to try again!"

Amid the murmurs, many orcs secretly glanced at Niki.

Chen Xian just won two games in a row, and Nikki is almost losing face.

Taiwan's move was both considerate of the Green family and didn't disappoint others.

Nikki's face does look better now.

His fingers rubbed the hilt of the sword, no longer as taut as before.

Only Chen Xian was leaning against the table in the corner.

He held a glass of ale in his hand, his expression as indifferent as if he were watching a monkey show.

Yang Wu leaned closer and said to Chen Xian with a bitter face, "Sect Master, are you confident? Should I take action directly?"

"No hurries."

Chen Xian took a sip of wine and glanced around the room.

"Just watch the show."

Greenmore also came over, paused, and glanced at Nicky again: "The way the boss looked at you, he's definitely up to something."

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, the Taiwanese on the stage raised a piece of animal hide scroll.

"Everyone, the last question will be shown now. You can think about it first."

She unfurled the scroll, on which a line of words was written in beast blood:

"Beside the troll shaman's campfire, three things never burn out—one is the embers of firewood, another is the shaman's incantation marks, and what is the third?"

The question has just been read aloud.

Someone immediately shouted, "It's fire! A campfire can burn anywhere!"

A minotaur slammed his fist on the table: "No! It's magical energy! The shaman's campfire is imbued with magic!"

Even a few troll civilians joined in the commotion, saying all sorts of things.

Wanwan just smiled and gently shook her head.

A hint of cunning lurked in his amber eyes.

Nikki frowned.

He had just been thinking of "flames," but Taiwan denied it.

That's when it dawned on me—the problem wasn't so simple.

He subconsciously looked at Chen Xian.

I want to see if this "wild fox" who dares to oppose me is also clueless.

But upon closer inspection, I almost laughed in anger.

Chen Xianzheng was clinking glasses with Yang Wu and Greenmore, with a piece of roasted meat still between his fingers.

He didn't even glance at the scroll, let alone ponder the question.

It was as if the questions on the stage had absolutely nothing to do with him.

"Humph, pretending."

Nikki snorted and suddenly raised his voice.

"My fox-person friend! Weren't you quite capable of answering those two questions earlier? Why are you hesitant to answer now?"

"Could it be that he can only guess on two questions and then can't answer the third one?"

As soon as these words came out.

All eyes in the room immediately turned to Chen Xian.

Yang Wu quickly put down his wine glass and tugged at Chen Xian's sleeve.

"Sect Master, ignore him! He's just trying to provoke you!"

Greenmore whispered a word of advice: "Boss, he did it on purpose!"

Chen Xian put down his wine glass.

A frivolous smile played on his lips as he slowly stood up.

"Trying to provoke me? Fine."

“Then I’ll give you one – the third one is ‘the orc’s obsession’.”

The entire room fell silent instantly; you could hear someone breathing.

The orcs looked at each other, pondering these words.

The troll shaman's campfire was originally used to make wishes for the tribe.

Obsessions are indeed like an inextinguishable fire, always lingering in the heart.

"This...this answer is way too easy, isn't it?"

Someone whispered.

But upon closer reflection, it seems to fit perfectly.

Nikki's face froze instantly.

Why didn't he think of that?

It looks like Taiwan is about to speak out.

Nikki quickly interjected, "Hmph! I already thought of that answer!"

"I deliberately didn't say it, just to see if you had the brains!"

"You're lucky, you're thinking the same thing as me!"

As soon as these words came out.

Wanwan's brows immediately furrowed.

The surrounding orcs were in an uproar.

But this time it was a quiet expression of disdain:

"This is outrageous! They only started stealing after the other person told them!"

"He was clearly frowning just now; it was obvious he hadn't figured it out!"

"Young Master Green, how could you do this..."

Though the voice was soft, every word pierced Nikki's ears.

His face darkened, and he glared fiercely at the orcs who were discussing the matter.

The orcs immediately shut their mouths.

The Green family's power is undeniable; no one dares to truly offend them.

Nikki turned to Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, I've answered the third question now."

"According to custom, shouldn't you personally entertain me?"

Wanwan seemed particularly embarrassed, and hesitated before speaking: "Young Master Nikki, the Fox Manor is backed by the Troll Prince, the rules cannot be broken..."

"A prince?"

Nikki gave a cold laugh.

"A mere prince dares to oppose the future head of the Green family?"

"If you know what's good for you, you'll behave and do as I say, otherwise..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

"He has no ability, but he steals other people's answers and acts like a big shot."

Chen Xian suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but full of sarcasm:

"You have completely disgraced the Green family."

"you wanna die!"

Nicky was instantly enraged, and she slammed her hand on the hilt of her sword, ready to strike.

The surrounding orcs were so frightened that they quickly retreated.

Yang Wu immediately stepped in front of Chen Xian.

He instantly unleashed the aura of a legendary peak!

The oppressive aura made the entire hall eerily quiet.

Even Nicky's bodyguards couldn't help but tremble.

Nikki's face suddenly turned deathly pale.

He was all too familiar with that kind of aura!

Last time, his legendary bodyguard was overwhelmed by this aura.

Even the Black and White City Lord fought this person to a draw!

"You...you are the manager of that human caravan?"

Nikki's voice trembled.

"What are you doing here? And dressed as a fox spirit?"

Yang Wu didn't speak, he just stared at him coldly.

Nikki panicked instantly.

He knew he was no match for them.

If they really make a move, the other party might just kill him!

He quickly released his grip on the sword hilt and glared fiercely at Chen Xian.

"You guys are ruthless! I'll remember this!"

After saying that, he and his guards slunk out of the fox-man's mansion without even looking back.

Nikki left.

The hall immediately erupted in chatter:

"My God! That fox-man actually has a legendary peak-level subordinate?"

"That aura was terrifying! Even Young Master Nicky ran away!"

"Just who is he? How dare he disregard the Green family!"

Wanwan, carrying two glasses of wine, walked up to Chen Xian.

He handed him a glass and said, "Thank you for your help earlier, sir."

Her eyes were full of curiosity: "How did you come up with another answer to that question?"

Chen Xian took the wine glass and said casually, "It's very simple."

"Besides the 'orc's obsession,' there is also the 'concern for their people.'"

"Isn't the shaman's bonfire meant to protect his people? This bond will never be extinguished."

Yang Wu immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Boss, you're awesome! Your brain is amazing!"

Greenmore smiled and nodded, "The boss always thinks of things that others don't."

The surrounding orcs also showed expressions of admiration.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Chen Xian was full of awe.

No one treated him as a lowly fox-man anymore.

Taiwanese eyes became even more intense, as if starlight was shining in them.

She put down her wine glass and said softly to Chen Xian, "I admire your wisdom, sir."

"Why don't you come upstairs to my room? I'll treat you well."

He finished speaking without waiting for Chen Xian's reply.

She took his hand and led him upstairs.

The surrounding orcs all looked on with envy.

Yang Wu whispered to Greenmore, "The sect leader's charm is truly unmatched..."

Entered the room.

Wanwan immediately closed the door.

She pressed her body against Chen Xian, her voice alluring: "Sir, tonight..."

Chen Xian gently pushed her away.

He said calmly, "Taiwanese curator, stop pretending."

"You're officially the Troll Prince's man, but secretly you're a spy for the Green family, aren't you?"

Wanwan's body froze instantly.

The coquettish look on her face vanished without a trace.

She looked at Chen Xian in horror, her voice trembling: "How...how did you know?"
