Chapter 398: Digesting the Question

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Outside the Divine Gate, an innumerable number of people were watching as Chong Daqing scribbled her answer in.

A palm-sized green insect was holding a ballpoint pen that was even larger than it is and attempting to solve the questions, that image alone was extra funny to many people.

However, no one was paying attention to that. Everyone’s gaze was focused on the scroll given by the frog.

To them, this was something very important.

Increasing the experience scaling the Stairway to Heaven was secondary to guessing what the Will of the Heavens wanted…

Everyone knew the importance of understanding what it was supposed to mean.

The Nature used to see everything as equal. To guess the Will of the Heavens was essentially exploring the pattern of the Nature.

There were no shortcuts to speak of. The nations in lead had all paid their dues.

Now that the Heavenly Axiom had appeared in the world, to guess the Will of the Heavens not only involved seeking the patterns of the Nature, it also called for understanding the preference and approach of nature’s administrator…

Compared to the past, it would have been much more complicated and dangerous.

It had been said that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger, the might of the emperor was like the might of the Heavens. Now that the real Heavenly might had appeared, how could normal emperors compare?

Of course, the pros and cons were just two faces of a coin. The surfacing of the Heavenly Axiom signified a change in the Will of the Heavens, and it also meant that a shortcut had appeared.

If anyone could gain the favor of the Heavenly Axiom and become the protagonist of some feel-good webnovel, it might just happen.

As for being a protagonist of some feel-bad novel, it could be experienced anywhere in reality, so they need not ask for it from the Heavens.

The question Daqing was currently answering could reflect the person who asked it.

There were many powerhouses congregated inside and outside of the Divine Gate, and there was no shortage of people with good eyesight.

Among the ones closest to the question, Vigilante A’s follower, Sky Eagle, was able to quickly see the question with its piercing eyes. Soon, it began selling the question with its wife, the golden eagle, Jin Sui.

The sale was surprisingly good. After all, people believe in the eyes of an eagle. The question given out was immediately spread out.

“Advanced Calculus: You plan to build a cylindrical container with the volume of V, a hemispherical top and a cylindrical bottom. Determine the container’s bottom radius r and height h that will minimize the amount of material used in its construction.”

“Can you solve this?” Fang Ning asked the System curiously.

“Nope, but I can search.” The System answered.

“Heh, I can do the same.” Fang Ning responded combatively.

Great minds think alike, no one among those who had bought the question were solving it. Those who can afford to search online were already doing it.

They were at Pacific Ocean’s airspace without access to wifi, but they can access the internet through the satellite. The speed was not fast, but it still could handle loading a few pages…

Even though they were facing a cataclysm in near future, things had yet to descend into total chaos thanks to Vigilante A, and communication facilities were maintained pretty well…

It was unknown why, but those who dared to target communication facilities were always prioritized by the righteous bodies.

Rumors were flying around as most people guessed that Vigilante A wanted to guarantee the communication was upheld so villains and antagonists could be exposed in time before they were taken care of.

Usually, places with minimal communication services would suffer the most once evil had their grasps on it.

If it were not for Vigilante A, satellite internet was almost impossible. They might not be able to reach the satellites themselves, but the receptor devices on Earth would have been destroyed.

In times like this, the public could see the benefits of a smooth communication. The answer almost jumped out immediately as soon as they searched for it.

The steps and the answer on the internet were not the most complicated, but among those who attended, not many could answer it correctly as it required the knowledge of calculus.

Fang Ning had gotten full marks in his advanced calculus before.

However, not even he could solve it in time, let alone these other powerhouses who did not even graduate high school…

In that, Fang Ning was head and shoulders above of the rest…

Seeing the answer, as well as the question about pi Vigilante A had answered, many powerhouses were confused.

‘What’s the matter with this Heavenly Axiom?’

‘Why is it giving math problems about a circle?’

They ruminated deeply, thinking there must be a connection somehow.

As the people outside the Divine Gate had found the answer to the math problem because of the internet, and began to think really hard, Chong Daqing was doing the same thing as it bit the pencil.

‘I can’t solve it…

‘I’ve never learned it. Who would worry about this in the Upper Realm?

‘We only need to cultivate. These questions are the domain of scholars and have nothing to do with us cultivators.

‘We only need to keep cultivating so we can manage these scholars…

The green frog said smugly, “How was it, dear little insect? Just say you don’t know the answer. You can’t even understand Frogspeech! Your inability to complete this question was within my expectation. However, you’ve already passed two stages, so the Spiritual Insect Clans shall be prioritized for plenty of cultivation materials next season. However, your personal rewards are nullified. Now scram and don’t waste my time.”

“Dammit, I will eat this question up!”

The green insect chucked the pencil aside furiously. It opened its mouth and swallowed the entire sheet of paper!

Immediately, it stood stunned in the same spot…

“Ah, ah, ah! You, you ate the heavenly question?” The frog stuttered in shock as it had never seen anyone done that.

With the Heavenly Axiom around, everyone was behaving cautiously. All the people, no matter if they were stuck inside the Divine Gate or waiting outside, were deliberating their moves.

‘This kid actually ate the whole heavenly question?!”

Chong Daqing was spaced out.

After a long, awkward silence, it opened its mouth again.

“I’ve already digested the question and I know how to answer it now,” the great green insect said to the frog, “quick, gimme another sheet of paper.”

“Hmph, there’s no more. You have broken the rules to the examination as well as destroyed a heavenly item. You have lost your chance to conquer the third stage,” said the frog smugly.

“Give it to me, you wicked green-skinned imp!” Chong Daqing lunged at the frog with the intention of grabbing the test question from its smooth body.

“Are you kidding? I’m a frog!” It leaped nonchalantly and evaded.

“Uh,” Daqing was slightly taken aback before its eyes brightened with an idea. It extended its front leg and retrieved a Dragon Clan Honey-flavored Pill that it had just gotten from the black dog…

“Do you want this?” Chong Daqing brandished the light-red-colored pill that emanated a sweet scent which caught the frog’s gaze.

The frogs gaze kept following the pill as it continuously swallowed its saliva. “I feel like there’s a familiar scent on the pill. My injury would probably heal after consuming it… If you would give me the pill, I will allow you to take another question.”

“Okay, but first, the paper,” said the green insect satisfactorily.

“Whatever,” said the frog as a new piece of examination sheet appeared on the step.

Chong Daqing threw the pill toward the frog and immediately picked up its ballpoint pen and began to write on the paper again.

The green frog swallowed the pill whole. Before long, it closed its eyes enjoyably, digesting the energy that the pill released.

Soon, Chong Daqing came back with a sheet with the answer on it.

“Green-skinned imp, look at this, is my answer correct?”

The green frog looked at it and was shocked.

“You’re right, kiddo. After eating the question, you were able to answer it perfectly,” said the frog in surprise. “Fine, I’ll consider your first task complete. I want you to write a current events essay now. For that pill you gave me, I will give you a hint. Use the topic of?Hemispherical Dome Cosmology.?¹?”

“What current event is this? When did something like this happen? I’ve not read a lot of books, you shouldn’t lie to me.” Chong Daqing said in surprise.

“Heh heh, this is the biggest current event, you don’t need to know more than that,” said the green frog unexcitedly.

“Hmph, that’s easy.” Daqing carried the pen that was longer than it and wrote the four characters on the examination sheet.

“Hemispherical Dome Cosmology.”

It sniggered and immediately began to stuff the examination sheet into its mouth!

“You, are you trying to digest the question again?” The green frog was helpless at the situation.

It thought, ‘The insect probably has some sort of superpower related to eating and could understand the things that it ate.

‘The ability is pretty mysterious, I don’t know how it works. I should ask the Heavenly Axiom.’

“That’s right. After I finish digesting the question, I will give you the answer.” Chong Daqing said confidently.
