Start from Fulilian

"Hey, hey, why is the difficulty increased?!"

Aura protested, "This rule wasn't announced before. I think this behavior is a foul!"

"It's not a foul, but a supplement to the rules. And I didn't say it officially started. Of course, you can quit now. I won't punish you in any way. At most, I'll just look down on you a little."

"Well……"

Aura's expression suddenly became twisted. She took Ivan's academic test originally to make that guy pay more attention to her and understand what it meant to be treated with new eyes after three days of absence.

It would be better not to play in the first place than to give up now.

"I chose to continue participating. The three young girls watching are not even a fraction of my age combined. How could I be afraid of them?"

"Okay, let's officially begin now. Everyone has two chances to answer the questions."

"..."

Falin in the audience has never been a top student. She is somewhat similar to Yubel in that they both rely on their talent for intuition.

Asking Falin to think logically was too much of a stretch for her, so after a long pause, she simply said, "Can't we divide 100 gold coins equally among the five pirates? It's divisible, so each person gets 24 gold coins."

Her idea was simple: once the money was divided, they could continue to rob. If the team's spirit was broken, the entire pirate den would be truly broken up.

Ivan shook his head. "100 divided by 5 equals 24? Falin, your math teacher will cry. Besides, my question requires maximizing Pirate Number One's profit, so that's not possible."

"If we want to maximize profits, we can just let Pirate Number One take the 100 gold coins... but that probably won't pass a vote, right?"

"Yes, so think about it again."

Although Falin's answer was wrong, it also brought a lot of inspiration to Aura.

"What a bunch of greedy pirates! How about dividing it up like this: number one gets 96 gold coins, number two gets 1 gold coin, number three gets 1 gold coin, number four gets 1 gold coin, and number five gets 0 gold coins?"

"No, Pirate No. 1 can get more." Ivan looked at Yubel again. After thinking for a while, she began to play with her hair with her fingers out of boredom.

"Yubel, do you know the answer?"

“Greek milk~”

The green-haired girl kept smiling, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking. "I'm not good at playing games like this that require a lot of thinking. I prefer intuition, so I'll just watch quietly from the side."

Falin immediately cast a curious look at him, and felt an urge to get to know him.

She's the same type of magician.

Aura was ecstatic. If she reduced her opponent by one, she would have no opponent left. After all, Linie was on her side and she definitely couldn't be a traitor.

Unfortunately, there is only one last chance to answer.

"Aura, how long do you need to think about this? Do you need a pen and paper to draft it?"

"Right away, right away..."

Seeing that time was running out, Aula quickened his thinking again, and suddenly an idea came to him!

"I know the answer! Hahaha!"

Aura laughed wildly, "The answer is number one is 98, number two is 1, number three is 1, and numbers four and five are both zero."

Ivan waved his hand, "Unfortunately, no, answer the question Qingling, Linie, do you want to answer the question?"

"No, I don't know how to divide it."

"Okay, now let's reveal the correct answer: Number 1's plan of (97,0,1,2,0, 97,0,1,0,2, , , ) or (, , , , ) will earn him the most gold coins, and his plan will be accepted."

"Huh? Why?! Could it be that you..."

"Of course it can't be the result of a casual remark."

Ivan anticipated her words and began to explain, "Working backwards from number 5: If number 5 is the only one left, he will get 100 gold coins.

Let’s look at No. 4 and No. 5: If only No. 4 and No. 5 are left, no matter what plan No. 4 proposes, No. 5 will oppose it, so No. 4 will be thrown into the sea, and No. 5 will get the gold coin alone.

So in order to avoid this situation, No. 4 will definitely support No. 3 when No. 3 proposes a plan..."

Yubel's eyes lit up at this moment. She didn't expect that this was a question of reverse thinking. She had just secretly checked it on the magic network with her mobile phone, and this kind of question had never appeared before.

So he naturally thought it was Ivan's original work, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him immediately changed a little.

Damn, it seems he looks pretty handsome too!

And Aula just didn't find the right direction just now. After knowing the idea, he continued to push forward smoothly.

No. 3 knows that if he is thrown into the sea, No. 4 will be in danger. So even if No. 3 proposes a distribution plan of (100,0,0), No. 4 will definitely support No. 3 to save his life. Together with No. 3 himself, the majority will exceed half, and the plan will be passed.

Number 2 knows that number 3 will take all the gold coins. If he is thrown into the sea, number 4 and number 5 will not get any gold coins. So number 2 proposes a distribution plan (98,0,1,1). Numbers 4 and 5 think this plan is better than number 3's and support number 2. Together with number 2 himself, the plan will exceed half of the votes, and it will be passed.

Number 1 knows number 2's plan and what would happen if he were thrown into the sea. Number 1 will propose a distribution plan of (97,0,1,2,0, 97,0,1,0,2, , , ) or (, , , , ).

For No. 3, No. 1's plan is better than No. 2's plan, so he will support No. 1; for No. 4 or No. 5, No. 1's plan is also better than No. 2's plan, so one person will support No. 1, and together with No. 1 himself, the majority will exceed half, and the plan will be passed.

"To sum up, No. 1's proposal of (97,0,1,2,0) or (97,0,1,0,2) can earn him the most gold coins, and the proposal is approved!"

“Pa pa pa pa…”

Falin immediately applauded. Although she was a little confused by the whole process, she still thought it was very impressive.

When Aula saw Farin's actions, the frustration in her heart disappeared a lot. She thought that this squinty-eyed and silly woman seemed to be able to get along.

"Okay, Ivan, you win the first round. Let's move on to the next question!"

"There's no next one." Ivan said with a smile, "The academic record check is complete, and it's determined to be an innocent college student. You lose, Aura."

"Hey hey hey—wait, you're cheating! You clearly said it was the first question!! I want a rematch—"

"The only and the first."

"I don't care, I don't care, do it again!"

“…” When Zanze arrived at the hotel, he saw Aura constantly pulling Ivan’s pants, with three onlookers standing beside him.

How should I put it, it's quite lively.

No, nonsense would be a better description.

"Dad, Mom wants you to come over."

"Yeah, I'll go right away." This gave Ivan a reason to get rid of Aura's entanglement, and he couldn't wait to follow her.

Aura was left alone, puffing up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

◇

When he arrived at Celia's palace, Ivan found that in addition to Celia, Fulilian, and Malusil, even Philen and Volame were there.

Everyone took out their own staff.

Among them, Malushil gave Ivan the biggest contrast. She looked silly and cute in the maze, but now in a slightly formal occasion, her spirit and energy were different.

Perhaps this is because this is the true reason.

You're not planning to kill yourself, are you?

Ivan asked, "What's going on today? Are you celebrating someone's birthday?"

"Your birthday? It's pretty close," Celie explained. "The demon winged lion I brought back from the labyrinth has completed the last element needed to remove your seal. We can break the seal tonight."

Rebirth is also life!

The faint light of a magic circle began to appear on the ground. The place where each of them stood was the center of the circle. With Zanze's return, the magic circle became more and more complete.

Ivan, who had turned into a stone statue, also appeared in the center of the magic circle... Well, he was still in that slightly funny posture.

"Put your hand on the heart of the statue."

"it is good."

Ivan did as Celia instructed. The moment his hand touched the object, his vision went dark. He was once again in a state of being unable to hear, see, smell or speak, completely disconnected from the outside world.

The world fell silent.

Then he felt the light within the seal.

In the outside world, the light from the six people's staffs gathered together to form a gorgeous and complex circle, suspended in mid-air, emitting a mysterious and powerful force.

In the circle, the shadow of the demonic winged lion began to roar.

"You lowly humans! How dare you! How dare you..."

It can sense whether the immortal origin bestowed upon it by the evil god is being extracted, or whether it can act on another seal related to the evil god's power to offset it.

"God...will not let you go..."

The shadow of the winged lion gradually disappeared, and the light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter. Ivan could feel that the power of the seal began to gradually weaken, as if the countless layers of shackles that bound him were being gradually opened.

Finally, a dazzling golden light burst out, and all the restraints were completely loosened. The outermost layer of stones turned into ashes, revealing healthy skin, and long black hair fluttered wildly in the air.

After more than a thousand years, Ivan came to this world again in his prime.

"free--"

The baby was completely without clothes, and looked like a newborn, which made Malushiel and Philen shyly turn their heads away.

Although Zanze blushed slightly, it was unclear whether it was due to psychological reasons or due to the direct gaze.

Seeing this, Celie narrowed her eyes and said, "Folamei will stay, the rest of you can go first."

I have to discuss a multi-billion dollar project with Ivan tonight.

Fulilian (Modern): 103 Please, I'm willing to do anything!

The wonderful summer vacation is over and it is time to go back to school. After changing into the uniforms of the Central Academy of Magic, everyone immediately went to report to school.

"Why should I be a college student? With my abilities, there's no need to go to school."

Aura complained softly, her delicate face and purple eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and reluctance.

The uniform of the Central Academy of Magic is a black and white suit. It is convenient for movement and has a very good aesthetic. Various details are well done. Even the cuffs are embroidered with mysterious silver runes, which flicker faintly in the sun.

The lower body of the men's version is trousers, while the women's version is a knee-length skirt with delicate purple piping. After Aura hid her horns through magic, she looked no different from the other human freshmen around her when she wore them.

Ivan, who was standing next to him, felt the freshmen's vibrant energy and responded with a smile, "That's pretty good, isn't it? In anime and novels, this is like the protagonist Long Aotian going about his school life, showing off and getting slapped in the face all the way."

"What's the point of that?"

Aura was very puzzled.

In her opinion, it is really worthless if you can't eat, drink or improve your strength.

Ivan replied, "It's meaningless, but it's plenty entertaining. Many people just enjoy this kind of plot where one chapter is looked down upon, and the next shocks everyone. This is perfectly normal. After all, showing off one's own extraordinary qualities is something humans all want to pursue after basic survival is achieved. It's a kind of spiritual nourishment. As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown in wealth and glory, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes. That's exactly what it is."

"Vanity?"

"That's wrong. Pretending to be powerful without real ability is called vanity. It's just false boasting after all. Having real ability is called glory. Enjoying the admiration of the crowd is what you deserve."

Fight back and slap someone in the face, and show off your power in front of others.

It's extremely vulgar, but also extremely refreshing.

Aura nodded. "Now that you put it that way, I understand a little bit. Did you also come to college with this idea in mind?"

“…I kind of want to, but I don’t think it’s possible.”

Ivan is now under the influence of a suggestion spell. Those with lower magic power than Celie cannot tell that he is the emperor from a thousand years ago. Moreover, he himself is not a magic genius. Naturally, he just came to the university to experience the atmosphere.

While the two were talking, the cute-looking Linie was entangled by the enthusiastic seniors.

"Little sister, how old are you? You've already been admitted to university. Are you a genius girl?"

"Do you need me to show you the way, Senior? By the way, do you need a new SIM card? Empire Connect is offering a special campus card discount for new students. For only 50 silver coins per month, you can enjoy 300 minutes of free calls and 40GB of data..."

"The connectivity plan is ridiculously expensive, and the signal is terrible. Why not check out Empire Yidong? Not only do we have cheaper plans, but right now, you get 100 off when you spend 100. This offer will be gone after the new student season!"

"Yiding and Liantong are rubbish. It's better to get a Dianxin card. The signal is stable and there are no drops. It also comes with a free broadband. Although the price is a bit higher, you get what you pay for. It's definitely worth it..."

Not only Linie, who was young and seemed easier to deceive, but also Farin, who seemed to be a good person, was surrounded by salespeople.

"Beautiful lady, check out the swimming and fitness center. Sign up for a membership now and you'll get a small gift."

"Beautiful lady, there's a 20% discount for new drivers' licenses right now. And if you can bring another person along, we can give you both another 20% discount on top of the 20% discount. Isn't that a great deal? And if you don't take the driver's license test in college, you won't have time to get it once you enter the workforce."

"Beautiful lady, if you feel like you don't have enough money, we have low-interest loans here. New school expenses are huge, and it's normal for many people to have trouble making ends meet. This is a benefit we offer to freshmen..."

Facing a group of salespeople with bright smiles on their faces, who seemed to be really thinking about them, Farin, who was treated so enthusiastically for the first time, was a little overwhelmed. As for Linie, although she still had a blank expression on her face, it seemed that she was ready to use force to clear the way.

Ivan naturally wouldn't let a good start to school turn into a fight, so he quickly pushed through the crowd and pulled them out.

If the salesmen continue to pester you, you will have to call security.
