1723 A Girl From Country Z
Half an hour passed. During this period, people submitted answers one after another. Unfortunately, they were all ridiculously wrong!
Some people were just trying their luck.
They didnât even manage to identify the relevance of the formula to black gunpowder.
Gradually, people began to speak.
âLooks like only people from the Ji family can solve this question.â
âOnly Ji Ziyin can answer it, right? I bet she can solve it in an hour.â
âJi Ziyin is the Ji familyâs genius of this generation. It might take less than an hour if she tries. Iâll bet forty minutes.â
Almost everyone was whispering about Ji Ziyin.
Compared to this question, the people who came to the banquet were more curious about the strength of the Ji familyâs new generation of black gunpowder geniuses.
âElder Zhong, how long do you think it will take Miss Ji to solve this question?â someone beside Zhong Yiliu asked him.
Zhong Yiliuâs eyes were cloudy and wise. He retracted his gaze indifferently and said, âIâm a potion researcher and donât know much about black gunpowder. Iâm not sure about this, either.â
âI heard that Ji Ziyinâs talent in black gunpowder is rarely seen in a hundred years. I think sheâs about to solve it.â The person casually asked and spoke to himself with interest.
Zhong Yiliu did not comment and began to look around.
He looked back. He had only taken a casual glance, but he was suddenly attracted by a table in the last corner.
That wasâ¦
âQ?â
Zhong Yiliu was a little surprised.
The person beside him did not hear him clearly. He only saw him looking at the tables behind him in shock. He also turned around and asked in confusion, âElder Zhong, what did you say just now? Q? What Q?â
Qâs name was not well-known.
Only the people from the Pharmacy Association knew who Q was.
Zhong Yiliu ignored him and looked in Qiao Nianâs direction without blinking. He watched as the girl put her hands together and started writing and drawing on the paper. He had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldnât put his finger on it. He only said, âYou said before that only Ji Ziyin will be able to solve this question?â
The person beside him was confused and scratched his head. âThatâs not what I meant. Itâs mainly because this question is too difficult. Ji Ziyin is also the most talented person in the Ji familyâs new generation. If she canât solve this question, I donât know who can.â
âSomeone can.â Zhong Yiliu was full of confidence.
The person beside him was stunned again. He looked at him curiously and asked, âElder Zhong, who are you talking about?â
Zhong Yiliu was still thinking about how to introduce Qiao Nian. After thinking about it, he could only think of one thing. âA girl from Country Z.â
What?
The people around him seemed to be listening to a prophecy.
A girl from Country Z?
What kind of introduction was this?
Elder Zhong didnât even mention her name, what kind of girl she was, how old she was, or what achievements she had in the field of black gunpowder.
There was only one sentence: A girl.
Thisâ¦
The man beside him scratched his head. Zhong Yiliu looked in the direction of the last table. Qiao Nian slowly put down her pen and picked up the tablet beside her.
Zhong Yiliuâs brightened as he said in a low voice, âShe did it.â
Who did it?
That girl from Country Z?

âNian Nian, you solved it so quickly?â
At the same time, Nie Mi saw Qiao Nian put down her pen and pick up the tablet to answer the question.
âYes.â The girl answered him while imputing her answer. âI did it casually. I shouldnât have done anything wrong.â
Nie Mi was speechless.
Youâve already done it casually, yet youâre still sure that you didnât do anything wrong.
However, he didnât ask further. He just watched as Qiao Nian imputed the answer.
