Lin Chaoxi felt that Zhang Liang had a lot of problems with his thinking, but there was indeed a trend of intellectualism in that era, and various intelligence development classes emerged one after another. There were even qigong masters who could develop children's brains, and each course of treatment cost 30,000 yuan. And seeing Zhang Liang's arrogant mother, it was not surprising that Zhang Liang had such thoughts.

If someone declared war on her, she would always fight back. After thinking for a while, Lin Zhaoxi responded to Zhang Liang with three words: "You are looking for death."

When she said these words, she did not have the same hostility as Zhang Liang; she was just speaking casually.

"You are so arrogant!" Huajuan classmate exclaimed beside him.

"No, he was the one who told me 'you're looking for death' before."

"Then wouldn't that make you even more arrogant!" Huajuan exclaimed even louder.

Lin Chaoxi looked at Zhang Liang. Although he was arrogant, was he really sure of defeating Zhang Liang?

Actually, no.

After all, when she came, elementary school students could become kings, so elementary school students in this era should not be too bad.

So she took the initiative to ask shamelessly: "Do you want to make a set of Wechsler intelligence tests for children to see who has a higher IQ? Otherwise, the Raven's Reasoning Test will also be fine." She had previously made questions for intelligence competitions and had specifically read content on this subject, in other words, she had read the answers.

Zhang Liang obviously hadn't heard of this; he just squatted on the ground in silence and started picking up stones.

A gravel belt just happened to meander at the entrance of the playground, and it creaked when you stepped on it. Zhang Liang picked up some, handed them to other children, and then continued.

Lin Chaoxi didn't understand what he was up to, but since it was Zhang Liang who suggested playing this game, she could only wait for the other party to make his move.

Huajuan poked her and whispered, "You're going to be tricked."

"ah?"

“He’s really good at this.”

"What and what?"

As he spoke, Zhang Liang picked up another handful of pebbles and repeated this three times. He and his companions carried the pebbles and walked silently to the rest area of ​​the park playground.

There are several stone tables and benches under the camphor tree. Some parents are taking a break with their children and eating snacks. One of the tables is empty.

Zhang Liang held the stone and walked over and sat down beside the empty stone table.

The wind blew, and he seemed to be ready to play chess with her, with a strong posture.

Lin Chaoxi frowned, not knowing what this kid was up to, but he could only follow Zhang Liang and sit opposite him. Looking up, for a moment, Zhang Liang's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were proud, as if he had won.

His eyes flashed, and inexplicably, Lin Chaoxi felt a little unwell.

After they sat down, both groups of people gathered around them and stood behind them respectively, filling the stone table and forming two semicircles, which was perfect for a group fight.

The children gathered together and started quarreling again.

"I've crossed the line with you guys, I'm going to your side." Huajuan shouted.

"You were the one who left." said Zhang Liang's classmate.

"Do you want to play chess?" Lin Chaoxi asked.

Some of the students in Zhang Liang's team had already shown their eyes of watching the show, well, of course, they also looked at her as a country bumpkin, as if she didn't know that this game was inappropriate. Damn, Lin Chaoxi wanted to travel back in time and slap the King of Pesticides in front of them.

"The rules are as follows." At this time, Zhang Liang spoke, drowning out the noisy voices around him.

All around was suddenly quiet.

Zhang Liang raised his hand, took out 17 stones from the pile on the right, and placed them on the table in order.

"There are 17 stones. You take turns to pick them. Each person can only pick 1 to 3 stones. You are not allowed to leave anything out. The one who gets the last stone wins."

Next to them was a small tree, which blocked the sunlight. The tabletop was covered with the shadows of branches, with only small stones standing out.

Lin Chaoxi understood the game instantly. The problem of choosing a child is often tested in elementary school Olympiad mathematics. The problem Zhang Liang posed seemed too simple, as it was part of the content of the third grade Olympiad mathematics.

Lin Chaoxi did not take it lightly. The problem of picking pieces seemed simple, but if she remembered correctly, "taking turns to pick items from a pile of m items in total, and only taking n numbers each time", this is the content of Bash game.

Bash game is not complicated, there is a winning strategy. Considering what Huajuan said before, Zhang Liang must have learned this content and mastered the winning strategy to have the confidence to beat others.

Lin Chaoxi licked her lips and looked at the stones on the table. To be honest, she had forgotten the specific content of the Bash game, but it was similar to a two-player game, and the advantage was definitely related to the order in which the pieces were taken.

"Who goes first?" she asked Zhang Liang.

"Toss a coin?"

Lin Zhaoxi smiled: "Let's take turns. I'll go first in the first round."

The calculation of 17 stones is very simple. You can only take 1-3 stones at a time. If there are 4 stones left at the end, the next player will lose. And so on. The player who grabs the winning points and leaves 4, 8, 12, or 16 stones for the opponent wins.

Zhang Liang didn't say anything, just nodded, very magnanimous and like a great general.

She raised her hand and took off one stone, leaving 16 stones on the platform.

Just this one move, she was certain of victory. She looked up at Zhang Liang again. Zhang Liang, who was sitting opposite her, raised his wrist slowly and pretentiously, just like playing Go, and took away one, two, and three pieces, leaving 13 pieces on the table.

Lin Chaoxi took 1, leaving 12.

Zhang Liang took 3, leaving 9.

Lin Zhaoxi takes 1, leaving 8

Zhang Liang took 3, leaving 5.

Lin Chaoxi took 1, leaving 4 on the table, and Zhang Liang was doomed to lose.

Lin Chaoxi did not take it again, but put his hand down and looked at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang also said nothing and stopped at the same time as her. Although she had not taken all the pieces, even a kid who was not good at math could see that she had won.

After a brief pause, Lu Zhihao shouted loudly: "1 to 0!"

"Damn it, damn it, you win!" Classmate Huajuan stretched out his hand from somewhere and gave her shoulders two heavy pats.

The children from the Red Star Primary School behind her were excited and shouted with joy.

Someone who was particularly nosy took out a red brick from somewhere and wrote the words 1:0 in large letters on the cement floor. The characters were crooked and quite ironic.

The students behind Zhang Liang all lowered their heads and kept silent, looking a little embarrassed by being yelled at.

The contrast was too stark, as it was hot on one side and cold as an ice cellar on the other. Many passersby nearby cast curious glances at them, first looking, then walking towards them.

Unlike others, although she won, Lin Chaoxi did not feel any joy of victory, because opposite her, classmate Zhang Liang was still very calm, with a sense of calculation that he was sure of victory.

She knew very well that with Zhang Liang's math ability that even teachers from the neighboring school would brag about, he knew he was going to lose this round, but he wasn't angry or upset. This was not normal.

The sound of high heels was heard, and Zhang Liang's mother walked up from behind with a proud look on her face. She quickly opened her parasol, and a pink halo enveloped them.

Zhang Liang slowly raised his head, grinned, and smiled at her, his smile showing his pride: "Then the warm-up is over, and the main competition begins."

The next second, Zhang Liang opened his five fingers and pushed towards the hill of stones on the right. Instantly, the stones rolled away, some on the table, some had fallen off, and were completely spread out on the table. "You can only take 1 to 5 each time. The one who gets the last one wins. Let's start!"

Lin Chaoxi suddenly looked towards the stage, where there were about a hundred stones of various sizes, densely packed like stars.

"Damn you, you are shameless. Who knows how many stones you picked up?" Huajuan also felt that something was wrong and shouted.

"Accurately estimating the total is a basic skill. I didn't count. If you don't believe me, you can pick up some stones and put them up." Zhang Liang spoke quickly. He didn't even look at Huajuan, and was very disdainful.

Zhang Liang was right, this was a real fight, and he already knew the winning rules, so there was no need to be smart.

Now, she couldn't retreat any more, she nodded, picked up three of them and threw them on the ground.

The moment she nodded, Huajuan ran away like the wind, probably to pick up stones. Sporadic complaints from classmates could be heard behind her, and some people started to say that Zhang Liang was shameless and a bully.

Zhang Liang would not condescend to pay attention to those complaints. He just raised his chin and said, "Change the rules. You can only take 4 at a time. The winning conditions remain unchanged." After he finished speaking, he quickly picked up one and threw it away. He then said, "In the next round, you can also change the rules. The maximum number of balls you can take is no more than 5." He added four words, "For fairness."

The last four words were full of condescending sarcasm. Lin Chaoxi was panicked for a moment. Everything she had planned was messed up again. She forced herself to be calm and let her brain work quickly. She calculated the winning points while counting the stones and changing the rules to disrupt the opponent's rhythm. This was no longer a simple intelligence test, but an unreasonable competition.

She calmed down and said to Zhang Liang, "No, no matter who gets the winning point, the next round will be interrupted. It's meaningless."

"You actually knew that?" Zhang Liang was very surprised and asked her like an adult.

"Of course I know." Lin Chaoxi felt that this child was really annoying in every way.

"Pass the Flower." Zhang Liang pointed to the distance and said, "When you stop, stop changing the rules."

The wind carried the sound of Alice in Wonderland, a piano version. Lin Chaoxi turned around in the direction of his finger and saw a candy-colored merry-go-round. Pink, blue, and white, the little merry-go-round rose and fell with the music, bringing the laughter of the children.

Lin Zhaoxi was distracted for a moment. Beside the wooden horse, she saw the curly-haired friend she had just met, and also saw Pei Zhi at the same time.

Huajuan was pulling Pei Zhi over and talking about something, and at that moment, Pei Zhi also looked over here.
