I Am A Prodigy Chapter 425
Advertisement
After 10 questions, Ye Lingchen shook his head and was starting to feel bored. "No more questions. This is meaningless."
'How lonely is it to be unbeatable?'
Although Ye Lingchen could not answer that question, he truly felt lonely at that moment. Around the world, those that could be his match probably did not exceed the digits on his hands.
The occasional bullying of amateurs was fun, but to do that all the time was a little meaningless.
"Don't stop. One more question. One last question!"
"That's right. We've just discovered your pattern. Are you scared?"
"Just give us one last chance. This time we'll definitely get it right!"
Ye Lingchen was tired of playing, but the others were hooked to being bullied. They were urging him one by one, looking as though they were about to face the final battle.
"Alright. Last question!"
Ye Lingchen shrugged helplessly. "This is a freebie. If you can't answer this one as well, then don't blame me."
"Be quick about it. You can't lie to us. It must be a freebie." Zhao Liangying quickly replied joyfully.
"Hahaha, God Ye, you're letting it get to your head. If you really dare give us a freebie, I'll dare to get it right!" Huang Lei laughed along.
"Alright then. Listen up!"
Ye Lingchen nodded, then said calmly, "We all know that things dropping from a high altitude is dangerous. If a drop of water was dropped from a sufficient height, will it kill?"
'Hm?'
Everyone was caught off guard. That question did not sound like a brain teaser at all. Instead, it was a physics question.
"God Ye, you're sure this is a freebie?" He Jie frowned, questioning him.
"You're lying. This question needs a curve breaker to answer." Zhao Liangying pursed her lips as she stared at Ye Lingchen.
"From what I can tell, it will surely kill," said Huang Lei. "This question stated that if given sufficient height. Whatever object, given sufficient height, will accelerate to an extreme speed and kill someone right?"

"That's right. I think so too." Hu Yue'er nodded in agreement. "There's the saying that water can break rocks over time. That shows us that water is quite powerful too."
Ye Lingchen's question brought on a heated debate on the live stream as well. The viewers were similarly tortured by Ye Lingchen's questions earlier. At that moment, they wanted to avenge themselves.
[I think it will kill. Since he mentioned sufficient height, we can assume limitless height, all the way until it's sufficient to kill someone.]
[God Ye's question would not be that simple right? Where are the curve breakers?]
[God Ye said it himself that this question is a freebie. It shouldn't be complicated.]
[Curve breaker here. I'll analyze it for you guys. We'll assume that the water droplet's diameter as d, then the water droplet will be affected by gravity and…]
…
Finally, the group came up with a confirmed answer, then stared intently at Ye Lingchen. "Our answer is yes. It will kill!"
"Congratulations, you've got it wrong once again." Ye Lingchen shook his head.
"Damn it. Why is it wrong? Why?" The group was immediately defiant. "How can it not kill?"
Ye Lingchen shrugged, then looked at the group innocently. "Have you guys not experienced rain before?"
Silence!
Everyone's eyes popped wide open, remaining speechless.
"OMG! How can that be?!" Wei Daxun was not in the right mind.
"Oh my goodness. I feel so stupid. I can't do this. I'm too embarrassed to live on." Zhao Liangying was almost pushed to the point of tears from her own stupidity.
"You've woken me from my long slumber. I've been living a lie half my life!" Huang Lei and He Jia laughed bitterly.
That was right; they never saw someone killed by raindrops before!
[God Ye is a demon right? He's too f*cking amazing!]

[Damn it. Here I was calculating it with pen and paper, yet you tell me that's the answer?]
[God Ye is right. This is definitely a freebie. A very simple one at that.]
[Previous post please stop. It's this kind of easy question that hurts the most.]
[Hahaha, Baby Ying and Hu Yue'er are so cute. It feels like they're crying for their own stupidity.]
…
"Alright, since none of you were able to answer a single question, isn't it time for a performance?" Ye Lingchen looked at the stunned crowd.
They exchanged glances, then Hu Yue'er stood up slowly and walked toward Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen smiled and was getting ready to enjoy the show. However, just as Hu Yue'er reached his side, she grabbed at Ye Lingchen's arm and bit forcefully onto it while glaring at Ye Lingchen.
"F*ck! Are you a dog?" Ye Lingchen quickly relaxed his muscles, fearing that it might break Hu Yue'er's teeth.
"That's right. I would love to!" Hu Yue'er blurted, then looked at Ye Lingchen's arm and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Your skin is just too thick. How did my bite not leave any mark behind?"
That bite was not strong. Ye Lingchen actually felt nothing. However, it did leave behind some saliva on his arm.
Following that, Hu Yue'er raised her head and proudly walked onto the stage.
Her performance was a type of tribal dance. She was half Mongolian, giving her the natural talent of dancing and singing. The shows she took part in were also of her tribal dances. Paired with her beauty, it was quite a sight to behold.
As the dance ended, it was met with a round of applause from everyone.
The rain during that season was heavy, but it ended quickly as well. By then, the rain outside had toned down sufficiently. In just a while more, it would be over.
However, after the rain, the mountainous roads were muddy. None of them planned to go out. After the rain stopped, they went to the gazebo to enjoy the coolness.
At night, they had a simple meal. It was the authentic Zhajiangmian from Beijing. That was of course personally made by the head chef Huang Lei. Ye Lingchen, on the other hand, was slacking off whenever possible.
Beijing Zhajiangmian was a regional traditional Chinese noodle dish made with shredded vegetables and soybean paste mixed with noodles. At such a time, under the summer's night sky facing the wind, paired with a bowl of Zhajiangmian—that feeling was very comforting.
Of course, there was another reason. The cost to make Beijing Zhajiangmian was very low. Without any other dishes around, that was the best they could afford.
After dinner, the group enjoyed the breeze and chatted for a while more. A day passed just like that and everyone prepared to go back to bed.
For showers and the likes, the guys would be on the lower floor. The girls, on the other hand, would be upstairs. As the special guest, Ye Lingchen was allowed to go first.
Ye Lingchen went upstairs after he was done showering. Zhao Liangying was in her room. She could see Ye Lingchen through the crack of her door and immediately exclaimed, "You're done showering already?!"
"What's so complicated about a shower?" Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes. He still remembered that Hu Yue'er had asked the same question in the morning.
"Come in!" Zhao Liangying waved at Ye Lingchen. Seeing Ye Lingchen's hesitation, she quickly got out and pulled him into the room…

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
