Chapter 25: Arithmetic Test

"What the shopkeeper said is wrong. Whether you are good at arithmetic depends on your age! Although older people have experience, younger people are not necessarily weak.

We need to compete to find out." Ye Xing looked calm and confident, and chuckled: "Why, there are so many accountants in your bank, no one dares to compete with you?"

"How outrageous! The accountants of our bank are all masters of magic, so how can they be afraid of your challenge?" The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank snorted coldly, looked at the accountants behind the counter, and said in a deep voice: "You guys

Who can come out and show this ignorant boy a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the accountants at the counter were immediately ready to move. In their opinion, what kind of arithmetic skills could a young man have? Teaching this young man a lesson and showing off his skills in front of the shopkeeper would help consolidate his position in the bank.

"I'll do it!" The cashier at the No. 2 counter quickly volunteered. In his opinion, this young man came from his No. 2 counter, so he had to deal with it naturally.

"Okay, let Mr. Li come forward." The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank said proudly to Ye Xing: "Boy, do you have anyone to propose the question?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter who sets the question. Shopkeeper, please do it yourself!" Ye Xing said with a smile.

"Okay, let me, the shopkeeper, come up with the question!" The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank waved his hand and said, "Come here, prepare a table, chairs and abacus!"

Immediately, a servant immediately brought tables, chairs and two abacus. Ye Xing and Mr. Li, the accountant at the second counter, sat face to face. The movement here naturally attracted many people in the bank to watch.

"Everything is ready. I'm going to start asking questions. The first question: How many gold coins are one hundred and twenty-five gold coins plus three hundred and ninety-six gold coins?" the manager of Jincai Bank said loudly, with a mocking look in his eyes.

He looked at Ye Xing.

The Wulin continent is still very backward in terms of arithmetic. There are no Arabic numerals, no multiplication and division, only addition and subtraction, and hundreds of digits are already quite difficult arithmetic. He deliberately made the first question difficult, so that

This ignorant boy made a fool of himself on the first question.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the bank finished speaking, Mr. Li, the accountant over there, had already begun to rattle the beads of the abacus with his fingers. Although this kind of arithmetic with hundreds of digits is quite difficult, for someone who is proficient in arithmetic and has been in the accountant for more than ten years,

For Mr. Li, it can be calculated as long as it takes some time.

"Uh, hundreds? This is too simple!" Ye Xing couldn't help but mutter in his heart. As early as when the shopkeeper of the bank had just finished reading the question, the answer had already appeared in Ye Xing's mind. This kind of answer had already appeared in his mind.

Hundred-digit arithmetic is simply too simple for a high-achieving student like Ye Xing, who has graduated from a genuine undergraduate university and can even master advanced calculus. He can calculate it just by speaking. But the purpose this time is to promote calculations.

calculator, so Ye Xing also pretended to press a few times on the calculator.

No one in the Wulin Continent has ever seen a high-tech product like a calculator. Many people looked at Ye Xing's fingers curiously as he pressed a strange boxy object there, and they all didn't realize how serious it was.

"Hey, what is he doing? What is he pressing there?"

"Why don't you use an abacus to do the math? He probably won't give up."

"Mr. Li has already started to forget about it, but he is still playing!"

"That's right. Hundred-digit arithmetic is indeed difficult. I estimate that it will take him a quarter of an hour to calculate it. The time is definitely not as fast as Mr. Li's, so he has to give up."

The people watching around were whispering and discussing.

"What? The first question is now difficult for you?" The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank looked at Ye Xing with even more disdain, and sneered: "Next time, remember not to brag. There is nothing wrong with learning at a young age."

"Five hundred and twenty-one!" Ye Xing said slowly.

"What? What five hundred and twenty-one?" The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank couldn't help but was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Ye Xing rolled his eyes, "One hundred and twenty-five gold coins plus three hundred and ninety-six gold coins equals five hundred and twenty-one gold coins!"

"Five hundred and twenty-one? Is it true? It's meaningless for you to randomly report the number of words, kid. I advise you to just admit defeat." The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank glanced at Mr. Li, the accountant who was making calculations, and then looked at it again.

Ye Xing, who had not even touched the abacus, was even more convinced that Ye Xing was confused.

"Crackling!" "Crackling!"

Mr. Li, the accountant, moves the abacus very quickly. He is worthy of being an old accountant who has been addicted to arithmetic for more than ten years. Mr. Li has been completely immersed in arithmetic. He has turned a deaf ear to outside comments and other things. He can be said to be a master of arithmetic when he concentrates on it.

Often wave.

After just a moment, the crackling sound stopped.

"I figured it out, the total is five hundred and twenty-one gold coins! Haha!" Mr. Li, the accountant, said happily. He was doing a lot of work today. The time was definitely much faster than usual. He was probably close to the accountant supervisor, Old Zhao.

When he thought of the shopkeeper's satisfied expression and the admiring looks of his colleagues, Mr. Li, the accountant, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Hey! What's going on?" Mr. Li, the accountant, soon realized something was wrong.

I saw that the shopkeeper's eyes were not satisfied, but very surprised and a little weird, as if he had accidentally eaten a piece of Rexiang, and his face was all red. Not only the shopkeeper of the bank, but also those around him

The faces of the crowd also looked extremely shocked, several mouths were opened wide, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

"The answer is actually five hundred and twenty-one gold coins! That's amazing!"

"Even if it comes out in such a short time, is it possible that he is deceived?"

Some people in the crowd were surprised, while others were skeptical.

"Yes, he must be blind!" The shopkeeper of Jincai Bank could only comfort himself in this way. He immediately cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Quiet! Quiet! Everyone calm down! Let's start the second question now.

——Nine hundred and sixteen silver coins plus seventeen gold coins, minus five hundred and eighty-three silver coins, equals how many silver coins?"

"This...why is this second question suddenly so difficult? What is the shopkeeper doing?" Mr. Li, the accountant, was dumbfounded. Ten thousand horses were racing in his heart. The difference between the first and second questions was

The difficulty has soared dozens of times, so how can he calculate it?

"Li Pengqing, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and do the math!" the shopkeeper of Jincai Bank said with great dissatisfaction. He was now eager to save his face, so naturally he had to make it more difficult.

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's start!" Mr. Li, the accountant, quickly started to move the beads on the abacus. Although the difficulty of this second question has increased sharply, there is still hope to solve it, but it will probably take several times more time.

Spend a lot of energy.

As the difficulty of the second question increased sharply, the crowd around them became extremely excited. They all stared at the two people in the center of the field. Even those who were depositing and withdrawing money in the bank couldn't help but swarm over.

Watch the fun.

"Crackling!" "Crackling!"

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

Mr. Li, the accountant, was sweating faintly on his forehead. His fingers were flicking the abacus and he was concentrating on arithmetic.

On the other side, Ye Xing held the calculator with his left hand and tapped the keys with his right hand.
Chapter completed!
