Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 144
"The soul absorbed by it can only be released by using my soul as the key."

"That's the only possibility."

"Even if it's my will, I can't change the rules of "Knowledge". "

"So."

Adam smiled expectantly: "Are you willing to accept the challenge?"

Naranja clenched his fist tightly, almost subconsciously, he wanted to answer "challenge accepted".

"Calm down!" Bugarati grabbed Naranja's arm and said, "This is a trap."

"I know"

Naranja held his head in pain:

"I didn't have the brains to fail even Fugo, there's no way I could have won him."

"But I'm not reconciled to letting me just give up like this!"

In the darkest hour of his life, it was Fugo who rescued him from that life of homelessness.

Now that Fugo's soul has been imprisoned and reduced to a collection, Nalanja can't bear anything, and it's even more difficult to calm down.

"Haha."

Appreciating such entanglement and pain, Adam reminded very "kindly":
"You still don't come to die."

"A person who can't even calculate elementary school math problems is not qualified to be my opponent."

"you?!"

Naranja was furious at first, but then he lowered his fist weakly.

He knew that the other party's ridicule was actually right. He was not good at knowledge competition, and he simply didn't have the strength to compete with Adam.

"How to do?"

Everyone fell into entanglement and helplessness, and the air was extremely silent.

"I see." Apache became the bad guy, and said the cruelest but rational choice: "It's better to kill this bastard directly."

"Continuing to challenge will only make more companions fall into the trap."

"Get out in time." He paused a little unbearably: "The loss can be minimized."
Surviving with broken arms is the ancestral skill of stand-in messengers, but what needs to be broken now is not an arm, but a human life.

However, in the face of such a cruel proposal, even Bugarati and Naranga, who had the deepest affection for Fugo, did not react for a while.

Reality is not a hot-blooded cartoon, and those objective gaps cannot be made up by will and blood.

What is up for grabs now is knowledge
And Naranja, primary school education; Mista, junior high school education; Apache, high school education; Giorno, junior high school student; Bugarati, junior high school dropout;

Fu Ge, who dropped out of college, is already the most educated existence among them. Even Fu Ge failed in the challenge, how could others succeed?

After all, they suffered from being uneducated.

"Let me come!"

In this desperate atmosphere, the only one in the team, a college student who had received higher education, stood up.

Li Qing walked up to Adam and sat down with a serious expression: "Let me be your opponent!"

"Li Qing?!"

Giorno frowned, and said in a solemn tone, "Are you sure? If even you fall into it"

"Don't worry, I've observed it."

"If there are no accidents, I should be [-]% sure."

Li Qing replied so calmly.

For the first time, he didn't turn on the data mode in the battle, but stared at the enemy with his naked eyes:

"Listen up, Adam, I, Li Qing, now officially accept your question-and-answer challenge!"

"it is good!"

There was a look of eagerness in Adam's eyes.

He looked at Li Qing's hairstyle, which was very popular among high-level intellectuals, and faintly sensed a breath of wisdom.

This soul, which seems to contain a huge amount of knowledge, is exactly the spoils he is looking forward to:
"Very well, since that's the case"

"Then let's bet our souls and start this challenge!"

As soon as the words fell, the book that had just devoured Fuge's soul soared into the air again.

It opened the pages of the book, and a strange halo bloomed.

The chain of light penetrated into the brains of Adam and Li Qing, and then a projected light screen appeared in the air:
"first round."

"Lee Qing, please ask questions, the time limit is 1 minute."

"You first."

Adam explained the rules again to Li Qing in an impatient tone:
"As long as you can ask the questions I can't answer, and then answer the questions I asked, you will win the challenge."

"Of course, the question must be within the scope of knowledge in the narrow sense."

"The test is the knowledge that can be memorized. It is a foul to embarrass others with some personal problems. Mathematical problems that require a lot of time to calculate on the spot are also not acceptable."

"I hope you don't play tricks and kill yourself like that kid just now."

"clear."

Li Qing laughed preparedly:
"This macroeconomic issue should be formal enough, right?"

"Then, take my question—"

Thoughts were conveyed through the chain of light, and then a question emerged on the projected light screen:
"Question: 20 years from now, which country will be the world's second economy?"

"Adam Cheever please answer, time limit is 1 minute."

"what?!"

Adam's complexion suddenly changed:
"20 years later? Isn't this to predict the world economic trend in 20 years' time?"

"It is difficult for top economists to give an accurate answer to such a question. How can you have the correct answer? This is a foul and should be directly judged."

As he spoke, his voice suddenly choked.

Because, after Li Qing raised this question, the absolutely fair "truth machine" did not judge Li Qing to foul.

In other words, Li Qing knew the correct answer to this question.

"how is this possible?!"

Adam couldn't help but began to doubt life.

And Li Qing just sat there so old-fashioned, imitating Adam's previous appearance, mocking with a look of disdain:
"What? You only know how to memorize economic theories, but you can't predict economic trends?"

"You still say that your intelligence is superior to others. If you don't know how to use it, the knowledge memorized by rote is completely rubbish!"

"you?!"

Adam clenched his fist unconsciously, and the veins on the back of his hand squirmed violently like a swimming snake under the anger.

Li Qing's words inadvertently touched the void in his heart and made him recall his past:
He was a genius, a prodigy.

With a photographic memory, extensive knowledge, strong memorization, astronomy at the top, geography at the bottom, knowledge of things, knowledge of the past and the present. In Adam's view, these idioms from the ancient oriental country seem to be tailor-made eulogies for him.

He can remember all the books he has read, including the author's punctuation on every page and paragraph.

He can remember all the knowledge he has heard, including the tone of the teacher's lectures in every sentence of every lesson.

In Adam's view, since he already has the wisdom to stand at the peak of human beings, he should have a position above others.

"I'm in the United States, just got off the plane", he doesn't even bother to pay attention to this level of life.

Of course, this is just Adam's own fantasy.

In fact, this so-called genius, who had been admired by thousands of people with the aura of a prodigy since he was a child, was discouraged by his tutor when he was just a graduate student.

According to the professor:

"You only know about memory, but you don't know how to create and use it at all. You think you have a lot of knowledge, but you never know how to master it."

"Fragmented knowledge is completely unsystematic, and in the final analysis is a pile of garbage!"

"People like you shouldn't be wasting time in the laboratory, but should be doing 'acrobatics' on TV."

That stern professor mercilessly woke up Adam, who was living in fantasy.

But Adam didn't want to wake up, he went crazy in the humiliation of being kicked out.

In order to prove that his wisdom is superior to others, he began to indulge in a boring question-and-answer game—gradually, after awakening a strange power, this kind of question-and-answer game completely became the only meaning of Adam's existence.

He takes great satisfaction in winning after winning, flaunting his victory with the soul of his opponent.

And now.
When life was in full swing, Adam heard that ridicule again from Li Qing: "The knowledge you have is just rubbish."

"hateful!"

Adam shouted angrily:

"You will pay for what you say!"

"Isn't it just to predict the economic trend, I...wait"

He seemed to have reacted suddenly, and his mood became a little calmer:

"Almost fooled by you."

"If you think about it, it's actually not that difficult to predict the world's second largest economy in 20 years' time."

According to the theory of Pareto, an Italian economist, 20% of the people in society own 80% of the social wealth, which is the famous [-]th law.

This law is not only effective for a certain country, but it is also meaningful for the whole world: developed countries, which account for 20% of the human population, account for 80% of the world's wealth.

Classes have solidified, the poor will only get poorer, and the rich will only get richer.

The current economic power will only be stronger in 20 years.

The rest of the poor countries are all mud legs that are disdained by Westerners, and they are all leeks that have been harvested by the economic powers. Want to change their fate against the sky?

The Asian financial crisis two years ago has proved that it is simply wishful thinking!

"Ha ha."

"The high-end technology is in our hands, and the market cake that can be divided has already been divided up."

"Unless there is a third world war, the status quo of our old developed countries ruling the world will never change!"

Adam thought carefully for a while, and finally came up with an answer:
"20 years from now, the world's second largest economy will still be Japan!"

The voice just fell
A hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth.

The three-dimensional light screen flickered for a while, and then typed out the following subtitles:

"wrong answer."

"Correct answer: Kingdom of Dragons."

"what?!!"

Adam's complexion changed dramatically, his eyes stared like bulls:
He also thought that Wano Country, which is far ahead now, might be overtaken by Britain, France, Germany and Italy, but...killing him, he never thought that the number two player would be that country!
Now it is 1999, and according to the Western public opinion in this period of time, that country is simply a weak existence that will collapse the economy the next day.

Adam has read countless articles and books on economics, and none of them is bad-mouthing the Dragon Kingdom.

Now facing the correct answer given by the "truth machine", he had to doubt his life again:
How could this be?
It's about to collapse!
