"Qiqi, who will be my opponent tomorrow?"
By the Xijian Lake, Li Shiyin sat on the embankment with her two jade-like feet stretched into the lake, swaying gently in the clear water.
Long Qiqi was lying on the side with her little butt sticking up. She was holding a stack of papers and calculating quickly with a pen in her hand.
After hearing what Li Shiyin said, she shrank her buttocks, sat cross-legged on the lake embankment, picked up a piece of paper, and said to Li Shiyin:
"After today's assessment, I have fully grasped the numerical changes in the assessment. I have also calculated the opponents you will encounter later."
As she spoke, her little face was full of pride.
Tian Wenjin was holding a sword and watching the fish in the lake. When he heard what Long Qiqi said, he couldn't help but look over.
"So powerful?!" Li Shiyin said in surprise with eyes wide open.
"Do you want to know when you two will meet if everything goes well?" Long Qiqi asked mysteriously.
Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin looked at each other. Li Shiyin pulled her feet out of the water, then tiptoed barefoot along the lake embankment, walked carefully to Long Qiqi's side, and asked, "When?"
"If..." Long Qiqi looked at the calculation results on the paper in his hand and said, "If Shiyin can beat Yao Qingke, and Wenjin can beat Lu Junxing, then you will meet in the semi-finals."
"Is it true?" Although she knew that the information was collected by them together, and that the result was calculated by Long Qiqi based on the data, Li Shiyin still felt it was too incredible.
"Will I eventually meet Lu Jun?" Tian Wenjin frowned.
"Of course, there will be surprises..." Long Qiqi said, "For example, Yao Qingke and Lu Junxing were eliminated early; for another example, Shiyin, you and Wen Jin were eliminated early."
It can basically be ruled out that Yao Qingke and Lu Junxing will be eliminated early, but this is not necessarily the case for Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin.
"Especially you, Shiyin!" Long Qiqi's expression turned serious. She looked at the result of her calculation and said in a serious tone, "Wen Jin's opponents tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are not very strong. Only the outer disciple Xiao Bufan needs to be paid a little attention. But you, Shiyin, are different."
"Look..." She showed the form to Li Shiyin, "Tomorrow you will fight Yan Tianxing, the one who practices the Five Thunders Law at Qi Peak, and the day after tomorrow you will fight Dugu Wenxue, the one who practices the Devil Slaying Sword Intent at Jian Peak. Then you will fight Ye Qingxuan, and then Yao Qingke. If Wen Jin beats Lu Junxing, you will fight Wen Jin, and if Wen Jin cannot beat Lu Junxing, you will fight Lu Junxing. If you have beaten Wen Jin or Lu Junxing, then in the end you will either fight Liu Baiyun or Dong Zhongyuan."
In a nutshell, Li Shiyin's next opponents will all be well-known figures.
"Wow..." Li Shiyin felt excited just by listening to it. Her eyes sparkled and she asked, "Are they all so amazing?"
Then she realized something else. It seemed that most of the people Long Qiqi was talking about were from Qifeng. She smiled and said, "If I keep winning, can I beat up all the people from Qifeng?"
Long Qiqi nodded and replied: "In theory, it is like this. Counting the Song Ze you beat up before, if you beat Yan Tianxing, Ye Qingxuan and Yao Qingke, it means that you have beaten all the geniuses of Qifeng. This should be counted as you trampled them all under your feet."
“Haha!” Li Shiyin raised her fists, extremely excited. She felt full of strength and laughed like a villain. “After this fight, my grudge with Qi Feng will be wiped out!”
Long Qiqi looked at Li Shiyin and wanted to say that all the grudges and grievances were intertwined and could never be wiped out, but she did not say such a disappointing thing in the end.
"Qiqi, how did you calculate all this?" someone suddenly asked.
"I understand. It's actually very simple..." Long Qiqi answered. Suddenly, she felt that there was something wrong with the person who asked the question. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhuifeng's huge cat head, with a pair of inquisitive eyes blinking at her.
?
Zhuifeng!!! It was Zhuifeng who asked this question!!
Long Qiqi was shocked. She waved her hand to signal the cat to lower its head, and then she put her hand on Zhuifeng's forehead... Hmm... It was hot, and she didn't know if Zhuifeng had a fever. But in short, this Zhuifeng was not normal.
Even Li Shiyin noticed it, and she hurriedly asked Zhuifeng, "Zhuifeng, have you been possessed by someone?!"
"You are the one who has been possessed!" Zhuifeng snorted at Li Shiyin, then raised his head proudly and said, "I am not like some idiots. I love to study."
"Bah! You don't love studying at all!" Li Shiyin spat at Zhuifeng.
Long Qiqi looked at Zhuifeng doubtfully, but finally explained:
"In this assessment, Shiyin and the others' initial numbers should be random. And because half of the people will be eliminated in each round, the numbers in each round will be half of the number of people in that round, to ensure that there are always two people with the same number. Then the people with the same number will be the opponents of this round."
Zhuifeng thought about it, realized a problem, and asked, "What if it's an odd number?"
Long Qiqi nodded, and this stupid cat head finally started to think about the problem.
"If it's an odd number, then there will be a bye. One person will have no opponent this round and will go directly to the next round."
“Are byes random?” Zhuifeng asked.
"No..." Long Qiqi shook his head and said, "This leads to the next question, the change in numbers after each round."
She looked at Li Shiyin and Tian Wenjin, these two girls who had never learned a thing and were listening to her conversation with Zhuifeng with a confused look on their faces. She couldn't help but sigh maturely.
"After a round, some numbers will change, and some will not. The fundamental reason is that the number of people in the next round is only half of the number of people in this round. And the number of the next round is half of the number of people in the next round, so the number of people in this round will not match the number of people in the next round. So the numbers need to change with the number of people."
She talked eloquently, "How does it change? The smallest number in this round fights the largest number in this round, from the front to the back, in order."
As Long Qiqi spoke, she looked up and found that not only Tian Wenjin and Li Shiyin were confused, but even Zhuifeng was a little confused. She shook her head repeatedly, thought for a while, and said,
"Let me give you an example! At the beginning of the assessment, there were 494 people, and the numbers ranged from 1 to 247. After the first round, there were 247 people left. If the numbers of these 247 people did not change, the one with number 1 would beat the one with number 247, the one with number 2 would beat the one with number 246, and so on. But the numbers changed, and when the number reached 247, the numbers were only from 1 to 124, so in the first round, all numbers greater than 124 would become the numbers he was going to beat in that round. For example, 247 would become 1, 246 would become 2, and so on.
"Wen Jin's number in the first round was 171, which was greater than 124, so in the second round, Wen Jin's number became 77. Then today, Wen Jin's number became 47, and tomorrow it will be 15...
"Shiyin, your score in the first round was 67, which is less than 124, so the second round was still 67, but today the third round became 57, and then tomorrow it will become 5."
"Why?" Li Shiyin's big eyes were full of questions.
"ah!!"
Long Qiqi completely collapsed and jumped into the Sword Washing Lake.
