Chapter 90 Luo Li: Let Me Test You
Seeing that everyone was becoming more and more certain that Imhotep was one of the key figures, Luo Li quickly explained what she meant by what she had just said.

“Stop, that’s not what I meant. I meant I remembered that we were initially discussing whether Imhotep was useless now that he was locked up, and whether we should get rid of him first.”

However, Chu Xuan said, "Everyone's understanding is not wrong, because Imhotep could indeed be one of the fulcrums."

"Ah." Luo Li didn't expect things to turn out so well by accident. After a moment, she said, "Then let's give it a try. Let's send Imhotep back to the Underworld first."

As for who would carry out the mission, because of the Sun Bible's recognition of the Lord, it was Zhan Lan who had to send Imhotep off on his way.

So the members of the Middle Continent team went to the place where Imhotep was imprisoned and watched as Zhan Lan opened the Sun Bible, recited the spell, and sent Imhotep away.

Afterwards, Zhan Lan put away the Sun Bible and said to the others, "I received a D-level side quest and 2000 reward points. Apart from the notification of the reward distribution, the Main God didn't say anything else."

Now, the Central Continent team was in a dilemma. Without any notification from the Supreme God, who knew whether Imhotep was actually one of the pivots?

In response to this situation, Luo Li decided to adopt the safest, but also the most troublesome, method.

"Let's list out all the targets that could become our fulcrum, and then find and eliminate them all!"

Xiao Honglu, pulling at his hair, revealed the most likely target: "The Scorpion Emperor Massayus must be one of our targets. We must find a way to obtain the Spear of Judgment."

Recalling what he had seen and heard during the battle with the Indian team in Cairo, Li Shuaixi followed behind Xiao Honglu and said, "I remember the Indian team took the Bible of the Dead. Could the little monk who got the mark of death on his body because he used the Bible of the Dead also be one of the key figures?"

Everyone looked at Zhan Lan, who had a sun mark on her forehead, and silently nodded in agreement that it was possible. At this moment, Zheng Zha suddenly said, as if possessed, "Could the last one be the wearer of the Death Bracelet?"

Then, Zheng Zha realized that everyone was looking at him with surprise. Luo Li even pointed at him and shouted, "With Zheng Zha's intelligence, there's absolutely no way he could have thought of this! Who are you! Show your true form at once!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's face instantly darkened. "I'm just too lazy to use my brain! It's not that I'm brainless! If I wanted to, I could be quite smart! Apologize to me right now!"

"I won't admit it unless you show me an elementary school math problem!"

Faced with Luo Li's questioning, Zheng Zha thought to himself, "Who do you think you are? You can easily solve a simple elementary school math problem." He immediately asked Luo Li to give him a problem.

So, Luo Li, hands on her hips, presented Zheng Zha with a classic "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" problem.

"Ahem, let me ask you this: if chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, and there are eight heads from the top and twenty-six legs from the bottom, how many chickens and rabbits are there?"

After hearing the question, Zheng Zha felt the pressure immediately. He muttered to himself, "A chicken has two legs. A rabbit has four legs. A chicken has two legs. Twenty-six minus two and then divided by four equals six. Six rabbits and one chicken don't have eight heads."
That rabbit has four legs, which is 26. Subtract four from the total number of legs, then divide by two, which equals 11 and 12 heads.
As time passed, sweat began to bead on Zheng Zha's forehead. Three chickens have six legs. Twenty-six minus six equals twenty. Rabbits have four legs. Twenty divided by four equals five. Five plus three equals eight. Eight heads!
"I've figured it out! It's three chickens and five rabbits!"

Zheng Zha was happy to have found the answer, but when he looked up, he saw everyone looking at him with pity. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought he had made a mistake.

So he quickly recalculated it, and only after confirming that he was right did Zheng Zha boldly straighten his back. "Luo Li, I figured it out! Apologize to me now!" "I apologize, I was wrong." Hearing Luo Li's apology, Zheng Zha felt exceptionally relieved, thinking that he had finally shown his intelligence, and now let's see who dares to call him a gorilla.

However, just as Zheng Zha was feeling smug, Luo Li continued, "I shouldn't have tested you with the elementary school 'chicken and rabbit in the same cage' problem. I should have asked you what 1+1 equals."

Zheng Zha realized that Luo Li was implying that elementary school math problems like the chicken-and-rabbit problem were too difficult for him, and only kindergarten-level 1+1 problems were suitable for his intelligence. He immediately got angry, "Huh?! Luo Li, what do you mean? I clearly answered it correctly!"

"Hey~, don't worry, we have a primary school student in our team, let him solve this chicken and rabbit problem for you."

Xiao Honglu never expected that this matter would eventually involve him, and judging from Zheng Zha's expression, it was clear that he had no choice but to answer this question.

"First, let's assume the cage is full of chickens, which is eight times two, or sixteen feet. Then, subtract the sixteen chicken feet from the actual twenty-six feet, leaving ten feet."

Since rabbits have exactly two more legs than chickens, the extra ten legs must belong to rabbits. So we divide ten by two, which equals five. Therefore, there are five rabbits.

Finally, subtracting five from eight, we find that there are three chickens.

After listening to Xiao Honglu's solution, Zheng Zha fell silent. Although the two arrived at the same answer, if the numbers in the problem were changed, and the solution was obtained using Xiao Honglu's method, the answer could still be obtained quickly.

As for the elimination method he had used, Zheng Zha stopped thinking about it, looked up at Luo Li and said, "I was right, apologize to me."

No matter what Luo Li said, Zheng Zha kept repeating the same sentence: "I was right, apologize to me."

Looking at Zheng Zha, who was completely withdrawn and could only repeat "Apologize to me," Luo Li suddenly felt like she was not human at all. She knew this guy's brain couldn't think straight, yet she deliberately teased him like this. How despicable!

So, with a repentant heart, Luo Li solemnly apologized to Zheng Zha. "I apologize. I shouldn't have questioned your intelligence. I admit you are very smart."

Zheng Zha, now that he had his wish fulfilled, stopped repeating his studies and immediately returned to his sunny and cheerful self: "The Death Bracelet is a key item for resurrecting the Scorpion Emperor Masayas, so it's reasonable that the person wearing it is one of the fulcrums, right?"

Zheng Zha's sudden mention of the person wearing the Death Bracelet as a fulcrum for Seth's descent to the human world left the other members of the Central Continent Team stunned, thinking, "Dude, you jumped the topic way too fast!"

Luo Li, Zhan Lan, and Chu Xuan, who were the first to react, quickly chimed in, "That makes sense! That makes three fulcrums, which matches what Lord Horus said."

At this point, the others realized what was happening and began praising Zheng Zha's intelligence, fearing that he would fall back into his previous withdrawn state.
