Chapter 239: Shrimp Heart, Pig Liver
Chapter 239: Shrimp Heart, Pig Liver
At the Phoenix Nest Training Ground.
After several hours of gaming, Lu Wu finally grew tired.
Reluctantly, he set down the game controller and laid on the sofa, while Dudu affectionately massaged his head.
On the other side.
Ancient Town Tian was initially brimming with confidence, claiming, 'I modified the questions, and you won't be able to answer even one.' But now, his earlier confidence had vanished, replaced by a face and body drenched in sweat.
From the initial three hours given, to the additional three hours Lu Wu spent answering the other seven contestants' questions, a total of six hours had passed, and Ancient Town Tian still hadn't presented his questions.
By now, anyone could see Ancient Town Tian's predicament.
The image of Ancient Town Tian, always composed and invincible, had crumbled.
Meanwhile, Lu Wu had established himself as a gaming overlord.
Not only did he effortlessly dominate the gaming arena, effortlessly taming seven contestants, but he also made Ancient Town Tian hesitant to even present his questions.
Lu Wu's prowess was evident.
Moreover, Lu Wu was incredibly kind.
Seeing Ancient Town Tian's sweaty state, Lu Wu assured him, "Take your time. I can even take a nap and wait for you for three hours!"
Such a broad-minded and comforting statement.
Many emotionally sensitive girls in the audience couldn't help but shed tears.
However, some found it hard to accept, especially Ancient Town Tian.
His face turned even paler upon hearing Lu Wu's words, filled with humiliation and resentment.
Having just listened to Lu Wu's explanations for over three hours, his mind was now blank.
He, more than anyone, understood Lu Wu's prowess and knew that even with three more hours, let alone three days, it would be challenging to modify 12 questions, no, even one question, that could stump Lu Wu.
At this moment, Ancient Town Tian's face displayed a mix of defeat and despair, expressions that should never have appeared on his face.
This scene was unacceptable to many.
Ancient Town Tian's admirers couldn't bear it, and neither could his father, Old Gu.
Ancient Town Tian had always been Old Gu's greatest pride.
Old Gu had always believed his son to be the strongest and the best, so how could he accept what was happening before his eyes?
Something was amiss! Old Gu felt there was definitely a problem with this situation!
And soon, he identified the issue.
"I understand now. I know where the problem lies. It's with these questions.
The 12 stone tablets in front of us contain questions created by Lu Wu himself."
"The so-called question modification is pointless.
No matter how you modify these questions, as long as they remain within the same framework, it's impossible for anyone to create questions that can stump him!
This is cheating!
We must change to different questions!"
Old Gu's words startled Ancient Town Tian and the entire audience.
All eyes turned to Lu Wu, seeking confirmation.
Lu Wu, however, didn't deny it.
"Oh, you've figured it out, and indeed, that's the case.
The 144 questions you see here were prepared by me yesterday, and it took me more than an hour, quite an effort."
Lu Wu's response caused the ordinary spectators at the Phoenix Nest Training Ground to perceive a significant decrease in his aura as the gaming overlord.
Especially for Ancient Town Tian's admirers, this revelation provided an explanation for Lu Wu's prowess and Ancient Town Tian's failure.
It wasn't that Ancient Town Tian was incapable; it was that Lu Wu had been cheating from the start.
With the answers in hand from the beginning, it was no wonder Lu Wu performed so remarkably.
Of course, this was the perspective of the ordinary audience.
The same event, viewed through different eyes, took on entirely different meanings.
While the ordinary spectators believed Lu Wu was cheating, the contestants sitting beside Lu Wu and the big shots in the audience had a different reaction.
You should know that the 144 questions above vary in difficulty and scope.
Creating such a diverse set of questions is far more challenging than solving them.
Typically, it would take a professional team several months to design such a comprehensive set, yet Lu Wu managed to do it in just an hour, or at most, a single evening.
This alone showcases the depth of Lu Wu's knowledge and his terrifying level of mastery.
Therefore, when Gu Tian exposed this fact, it not only failed to diminish Lu Wu's prestige but also inadvertently elevated his status among the cultivators.
Gu Tian's suggestion to change the questions is utterly absurd.
Whoever sets the questions is irrelevant; it's preposterous to demand a change simply because the question setter is also the judge.
Gu Tian is merely stirring up trouble.
He's acting like a fool in the 6-9-1-9 version of the book!
Even Gu Tian himself is aware of this.
However, he has no choice but to persist, as he must help his son escape Lu Wu's trap.
Only by breaking free from Lu Wu's constraints can his son, Gu Zhen Tian, have a chance to defeat Lu Wu or, at the very least, escape his overwhelming dominance.
Gu Tian has already realized that Lu Wu has suppressed his son, and the once-invincible and confident Gu Zhen Tian is now crumbling, falling into self-doubt.
This is the last thing Gu Tian wants to see, so he must help Gu Zhen Tian maintain his confidence.
Hence, Gu Tian takes a strong stance, "Since you set these questions, they must be changed!"
Of course, his assertiveness is just for show, as he doesn't genuinely expect Lu Wu to change the questions.
As long as Lu Wu says no, Gu Tian will seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and lead Gu Zhen Tian to withdraw from the competition, preserving his son's last shred of confidence.
If they don't compete, they can't lose!
This is a form of self-deception, as Gu Tian is not only deceiving Gu Zhen Tian but also himself.
However, he doesn't anticipate Lu Wu's unconventional response.
"Change the questions? Sure!"
Lu Wu stands up with a mischievous smile and slowly approaches Gu Zhen Tian.
"If you're not confident in modifying these questions to a level I can't answer, we can change them, or even switch to a different gameplay style."
"How about this? You set the questions, I'll modify them, and then you answer them. If you can answer even one of my modified questions correctly, I'll consider you the winner!"
Lu Wu's tone is calm and reasonable, but every word is like a soft blade piercing Gu Zhen Tian's heart.
The most effective way to defeat someone is not through physical harm but by striking at their spirit.
'So, you think you're so great, Gu Zhen Tian? You were so proud, and your son has the talent of a Master, right?
Well, let's see. I, Lu Wu, will stand here and play by my rules, and if you're still not satisfied, I can turn the tables and play by your son's rules.'
'I'll play until he's crushed!'
Gu Tian sees Lu Wu's sinister intentions, his face turning ashen, and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Lu Wu, how dare you!"
Lu Wu doesn't even bother to acknowledge Gu Tian, let alone fear him, even if Gu Tian were unharmed. Lu Wu is not intimidated, as he has bodyguards.
Lu Wu came here today with only one goal: to crush Gu Zhen Tian.
It's just that Lu Wu's heart is always so magnanimous.
"Well? I've already given you such a huge concession, are you still afraid?
If you're truly too scared, then I guess we can't do anything about it. Let's just call it off."
At this moment, Gu Zhen Tian clenches his fists but soon relaxes, speaking calmly, "I, Gu, am not one to shy away from a challenge. The competition is over, but since Master Lu wants to play, I'll play along!"
"However, I have one condition..."
