Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy-Chapter 82: Whoo, Why do People need code words
Chapter 82
Shen Yichen saw Shen Jize become serious, so he let his secretary prepare the software and left.
Without the software's assistance, they might not be able to come up with problems difficult enough to stump the two geniuses.
Shen Jize and Ye Yin were undoubtedly mental calculation experts.
Moreover, their mental math was not like those of professional mental calculators who calculate just for the sake of calculating. Their mental calculations were to save time calculating formulas, making their mental math more practical and versatile.
Ordinary mental calculation competitions use addition and subtraction to increase difficulty by shortening time. But for Ye Yin and Shen Jize, they would encounter problems requiring more complex formulas.
Being able to quickly determine what content can be calculated mentally would help them get results faster.
Mental matrix calculations and calculus derivations were commonplace to them.
This kind of mental calculation ability could not be matched by mathematical techniques summarized by ordinary people. It required more mathematical comprehension talent.
Just as Shen Jize had said before, he saw all formulas differently from ordinary people. Ordinary people saw complex arithmetic symbols in formulas, layer upon layer, in a jumbled mess. But in his eyes, no matter how complex, all formulas were matrices.
Perhaps this was why Shen Jize had no interest in mathematics, only seeing it as an auxiliary tool to research other things faster.
Shen Jize had only told Shen Yichen these things, and had even beaten Shen Yichen in mental calculation tests. This was why Shen Yichen was very reassured.
His fourth brother would not lose if he did not want to.
Soon, Shen Yichen prepared the software and began calling Shen Yue in the class group to announce the competition time.
It was 7 pm now. Shen Yichen had originally wanted to set the time for 8 pm, but before he could open the class group chat, he was already blinded by the flooded messages scrolling up.
At a glance, it was rows and rows of messages constantly scrolling up, slanted every which way, all containing the words "when will it start".
Shen Yichen looked at Shen Yue who was still playing with onions and asked, "Can I use your phone to send a message in your class group?"
Shen Yue did not look up, focused on making herself tear up, "You can send a voice message."
Shen Yichen strangely understood Shen Yue's train of thought and pressed the voice message button to start recording.
First, Shen Yichen randomly chose a lucky classmate to be the proctor for the competition, then switched to the class group chat to start the voice message.
[I'm Shen Yue's brother. We're ready on our end and can start at any time.]
Shen Yichen had a nice voice.
Some girls in the class silently bookmarked it without saying anything. Who they were, you can guess.
After Shen Yichen sent the message, the flooded messages suddenly stopped, leaving only Shen Yichen's voice message at the very bottom.
Just as Shen Yichen was about to return the phone to Shen Yue, another message appeared under his voice message.
[I'm ready too.]
After this message, Ye Yin's side opened the video. Seeing this, Shen Yichen also opened the video and flipped it around to Shen Jize.
Shen Jize was startled to suddenly see his and Ye Yin's faces, and his eyes reddened as they welled up with tears.
Shen Yue had been playing with onions and hurriedly reached out to stop Shen Jize's tears.
But she forgot her hands still smelled like onions.
So...
"Sis... *sob*... your hands *sob* are making my eyes hurt *sob sob*..."
Shen Yue quickly pulled back her hands and ran to grab some clean napkins for Shen Jize.
Only after seeing him start wiping his tears did she softly apologize, "Sorry..."
Shen Jize cried while replying, "It's...*sob*...okay *sob*... don't rub...*sob*... your eyes *sob sob*..."
Shen Yue had wanted to rub her eyes to match her brother's crying, but her hand froze in place after hearing this.
She didn't know what psychology it was, but Shen Yue did not continue pursuing so-called pretty crying. Instead, she picked up napkins and started helping Shen Jize wipe his tears, "Don't cry, brother."
"*sob sob*, okay... *sob*."
Watching on the side, Shen Yichen suddenly spoke up, "When he starts crying, he won't stop for a while. Let him cry it out himself."
Shen Yue oh'd and began sitting to the side, continuously passing tissues to her brother.
Ye Yin, who had opened the video ready to start the cool challenge: ......
What was this situation? He hadn't even done anything yet and one of them was already crying.
"Son, you made someone else cry again?" A gentle female voice suddenly came from Ye Yin's side, making his expression slightly awkward.
Looking at the supposed Shen Yue's beautiful crying brother, he felt complicated, with a vague sense of powerlessness, "We haven't started yet."
Shen Yichen also appeared in the frame, and seeing no negative reaction from Ye Yin to this sudden situation, his impression of him improved a little. He also felt very emotional.
Her sister had finally started attracting some normal people.
"Ye Yin, if you don't mind, let's start now to avoid wasting everyone's time."
Shen Jize crying and Ye Yin quietly waiting on video, while on the chat interface the other classmates were extremely excited.
Human nature at its core - parrots, pigeons, gossips.
No one could resist gossip, not even geniuses.
And now they were not only gossiping about whether Ye Yin or Shen Yue's brother would win, but also gossiping about why the Shen family all seemed to cry so beautifully.
Without snot.
Hearing Shen Yichen's words, the tension in Ye Yin's heart suddenly calmed down as he entered a competitive state.
Expressionlessly he nodded, then adjusted the camera to show his empty desk, indicating there was nothing there.
Shen Yichen smiled and also adjusted Shen Jize's camera a bit, accidentally catching Shen Yue next to him handing tissues to Shen Jize.
Clearly, seeing Shen Yue, Ye Yin's expression froze for a moment.
Noticing this, Shen Yichen said to Shen Yue, "Shen Yue, sit to the side and don't disturb them."
Shen Yue oh'd, stuffed the tissues into Shen Jize's hands, and left the view of the video.
Ye Yin relaxed with a sigh, but also felt some loss.
And Shen Jize, holding the box Shen Yue had touched with onion hands, cried while wiping away tears.
Shen Yichen began announcing the rules, "It's best of 3 rounds for the mental math competition. Round 1 is adding up 10 4-digit numbers. I've prepared a software that will display the numbers given by the proctor at 0.5s intervals after they finish listing them all. You need to remember these numbers and calculate the final sum when they've all been shown once."
"Is everyone ready?"
Hearing Shen Yichen's question, Ye Yin's first reaction was not to reply he was ready, but to ask, "Shen Yue's brother, is it okay? He seems to still be crying."
Shen Yichen smiled at Ye Yin, "Thank you for your concern, he'll be fine like this."
