School flower's personal master

Chapter 12820

At this point, Cao Mang finally realized: "Holy crap! There's such a way to do it!"

Zhang Baiyu continued, "Look at this alchemy competition, it's not about alchemy itself, but whoever shuts off the furnace first loses."

The analysis of each subsequent match confirmed this.

In particular, Cao Luoshen's match wasn't about the quality of the poems at all; it was simply that he put down his pen first, while Lingren Wang kept it in his hand the whole time, and as a result, he was judged to have lost.

"Holy crap, you can play like this?!"

Cao Mang was immediately amused and exasperated.

He had previously felt that his son had lost unfairly, but now, after this analysis, he realized that it was more than just an unfair loss; his son had been made a fool of!
Zhang Baiyu turned to look at Lin Yi and said with sincere admiration, "Your observation is truly remarkable, sir."

His intelligence is beyond doubt, but this kind of thing is too tricky, it's a complete brain teaser, and has nothing to do with intelligence.

If you can think of it, you can think of it; if you can't, you'll never think of it.

Lin Yi touched his nose: "It has nothing to do with being observant; it's just that I've seen similar things before."

There was a Go tournament in the secular world that was exactly the same as this one, and it caused quite a stir at the time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of this.

"That kid Lingren Wang is damn shrewd!"

Cao Mang laughed angrily, "He specifically named these experts from various fields, just to create a pretext and secretly pull this stunt?"

He paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Yi and said, "Since this trick has worked so well for him time and time again, he will definitely use the same trick again in the race against you, sir, in three days!"

Lin Yi pondered: "On the surface, they design a set of rules, but in reality, they compete on trivial details. Now that we know this set of rules, it won't be so easy for him to succeed."

Even if he hadn't discovered these things, it wouldn't have been so easy for Lingrenwang to use this method to scheme against him.

Ultimately, the key to Ling Renwang's repeated successes lies in this information asymmetry.

Only he knew the true rules of the race, while his opponents did not.

Once exposed, it has no value whatsoever.

The problem is that Lin Yi also has the authority, and he can even go beyond the surface-level authority and directly access the underlying code of the track.

In his presence, such a basic information gap was utterly useless.

Zhang Baiyu cautioned, "If it were just Ling Renwang alone, it wouldn't be a problem. But now that the Authority has gotten involved, things might not be so simple."

Lin Yi nodded slightly: "Let's deal with whatever comes our way and see how it goes."

Meanwhile, in a secluded, secret place.

Lingren Wang was reclining in a luxurious mansion, enjoying himself immensely.

Given his status and family background, he wouldn't even have the right to enter such a superior secret realm, let alone own it.

This is something he won back from those famous athletes through track battles.

"After I kill Lin Yi in three days, the entire Tianjun will be mine! What a load of bullshit, the Lord of Tianjun, he's just a joke in front of me!"

Lingren Wang was full of vigor and high spirits.

Suddenly, two figures appeared out of thin air.

Lingren Wang was startled: "Who goes there? How dare you trespass into my secret realm?"

Hua Chengying and Song Zang exchanged a glance and smiled as they said, "Don't be nervous. We are not your enemies, we are your friends."

"friend?"

Lingren Wang frowned, sizing up the two with disdain, and said, "You lowly races dare to call yourselves my friends? You really think highly of yourselves. Get out of here before I lose my temper, or you won't even know how you died once my secret realm's formation is activated!"

"If your secret realm's magic array were truly effective, would the two of us have been able to get in?"

Song Zang looked at him like he was an idiot.

"..."

Lingren Wang was momentarily speechless. He subconsciously tried to activate the magic array, but there was no response. Now he finally became nervous.

Lingren Wang looked at the two men warily: "Who exactly are you? What do you want with me?"

"Don't be nervous, we're here to help you deal with Lin Yi."

Hua Chengying smiled slightly: "As for who we are, have you ever heard of the Authority?"

Ling Renwang frowned: "Access Control?"

Before he could ask another question, a mysterious fluctuation emanated from Hua Chengying.

Ling Renwang's eyelids twitched immediately.

He was all too familiar with this fluctuation; it was the unique fluctuation that occurred when track access was activated!

"Are you also an authorized user?"

Lingren Wang stared at Hua Chengying in shock.

His arrogance and conceit stem from his status as an authority figure, which allows him to completely crush others.

When he suddenly encountered another person with authority, his arrogance vanished instantly.

Song Zang snorted coldly: "Everyone in the Authority Council is an Authority Holder. You're not so naive as to think that you're the only Authority Holder in the world, are you?"

"..."

Ling Renwang's expression changed, and he finally restrained himself somewhat.

Hua Chengying then said, "We've come here to tell you something: Lin Yi is also an authority holder."

Lingren Wang was even more shocked: "Him too? What makes him worthy of being one?"

Hua Chengying and Song Zang exchanged a helpless glance.

If someone like you can be an authority holder, why can't the dignified Lord of Tianjun be an authority holder?
Hua Chengying patiently said, "The same tactics you use on others won't work on Lin Yi. If you want to beat him, you need to improve your approach."

Lingren Wang frowned: "How can we improve it?"

Given his arrogance, if these two weren't both people with unknown levels of authority, he would have absolutely scoffed at them and wouldn't have bothered to listen to a single word.

"Don't you like playing the information gap game?"

Hua Chengying advised, "Let's just stick to this approach and not hold back. Just slap him in the face. Even if he sees through it, it won't matter."

Lingren Wang immediately became interested: "Tell me in detail."

Hua Chengying immediately handed over a jade slip: "The specific details are all in here, take a look for yourself."

"Why make it so complicated?"

Ling Renwang frowned, took the document, glanced at it, and his eyes immediately lit up: "It's alright, it does have some substance, but it's still not as good as my methods."

He said that, but he seemed quite enthusiastic.

Hua Chengying and Song Zang exchanged a glance, smiled, and said, "As long as you execute the plan properly, defeating Lin Yi shouldn't be difficult."

"Wait a moment."

Ling Renwang was unusually cautious: "You guys say Lin Yi also has track access, so with his access, wouldn't he also be able to see through my trump card?"

Hua Chengying smiled calmly: "His specific level of authority is unknown, but he has never taken the initiative to initiate a track duel. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't know. So his level of authority should not be higher than yours."

Ling Renwang felt relieved: "So that means that this so-called authority holder is no different from an ordinary person in front of me?"

"There's a slight difference, but not a big one."

Hua Chengying nodded.

Song Zang spoke up from the side: "If you can take care of Lin Yi this time, I can represent the Authority to recruit you, and you'll be one of us from now on."
