Let's Do Some Questions - Chapter 13

After mentally pinning the blame on Song Qinglan, Song Man felt a bit better.

She had originally planned to come home and do practice problems to calm down, but with Chu Fengqiu involved, she couldn’t vent her frustration happily anymore.

“I’ll go to my room to get the practice books. Wait for me.”

Chu Fengqiu stopped in the hallway, brushed past Song Man, and walked into the room next to Song Man’s.

“Suit yourself. I won’t lock the door, just come in when you’re ready.”

Song Man shrugged, turned on the air conditioning, closed the door, and took her phone into the bathroom.

The bathroom truly was a sacred place for using one’s phone.

Song Man sat on the toilet lid and opened the Question Bank app.

Choosing an English test, Song Man began to clear her mind and focus on the problems.

In this state of concentration, Song Man felt a sense of lightness.

It was a feeling of joy emanating from the depths of her soul, incredibly stress-relieving.

When Chu Fengqiu entered, the room was empty.

The cold air from the air conditioner blew, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and the sheets were wrinkle-free.

This was likely not Song Man’s doing, but rather the result of the housekeeper’s cleaning.

“Song Man?”

“Hey, I’m in the bathroom. You can start your homework first.”

Song Man replied from the bathroom, her fingers continuously tapping options on the screen.

After quickly finishing four reading comprehension passages, Song Man let out a long sigh of relief, feeling somewhat satisfied.

Just as Song Man was about to exit the app, a PK invitation popped up.

The ID looked familiar. Song Man raised an eyebrow and readily accepted.

As a well-known user, Song Man’s PKs or livestreams were always featured on the homepage and announced via dynamic updates. As soon as the PK started, many people joined.

【Let me see which brave soul is feeling so challenging!】

【I was just doing problems, and as soon as the notification sound went off, I came.】

【Wow, is Nan Shen back?!】

【Did Nan Shen come back just to solo Man Shen?】

【Seeing Nan Shen again, I actually feel quite emotional.】

【New baldies asking for guidance, is Nan Shen very famous?】

【Back in the day, Nan Shen was one of the legendary figures on the Question Bank.】

Chu Fengqiu’s phone on the desk started vibrating wildly. She picked it up and saw that Liu Bai was sending her messages.

Liu Bai was her friend, whom she met on the Question Bank. They had participated in a competition together and had a pretty good relationship.

【Liu Bai】: Qiuqiu, hurry! Lingnan is back!!

【Liu Bai】: He’s PK-ing with A Man

【Liu Bai】: Come watch quickly, don’t miss it!

【Liu Bai】: Maybe after they finish, you can have a match with Lingnan and avenge your past defeat!

Chu Fengqiu sent a quick ‘Coming right away’ and opened the Question Bank app.

As soon as she entered, she saw the bullet comments providing context.

When Chu Fengqiu first joined the app, Lingnan was already very famous.

He was a master in the PK section and the most popular user on the Question Bank.

Chu Fengqiu had competed against him but lost.

She was quite busy during that time and didn’t have time for a rematch. By the time she did, Lingnan was offline.

Later, A Man joined the Question Bank, challenged Lingnan one-on-one, was faster than Lingnan, defeated the undefeated legend of the time, and became famous overnight.

After that loss, Lingnan never appeared again.

Everyone discussed it for a while, and until now, no one had brought it up. But with Lingnan’s return and direct challenge to A Man, it was bound to cause excitement.

【Placing bets, placing bets! No more changes once placed!】

【Betting on A Man! A Man is my faith! Super super super amazing!】

【Betting on Lingnan. I started using the Question Bank in middle school, and Lingnan was already there. He was practically a legend. Although he lost once and disappeared, he must have spent ten years honing his skills to come back now!】

【I can already smell the gunpowder!】

【I’m so excited ahhhhh! Will Nan Shen avenge his past defeat and reclaim the title of PK King, or will A Man continue to reign? So looking forward to it!】

【Ten years of honing a sword, its frosty edge untried. Today I show it to you, who has an injustice to right!】

【Who has an injustice to right! Go, Nan Shen!】

【A Man, A Man, A Man, A Man!】

Song Man paid no attention to the bullet comments. She sent a message asking Lingnan what subject they would compete in.

Song Man was confident and not flustered at all, even though she knew the other party must have come prepared this time, with the intention of defeating her.

He was just a defeated opponent.

If Song Man could beat him once, she could beat him a second time.

【Lingnan】: Physics.

【Song Man】: Okay.

【Song Man】: But why haven’t you shown up for so long? You weren’t so fragile that you gave up just because I beat you once, were you?

【Lingnan】: I wasn’t feeling well back then.

【Song Man】: And now?

【Lingnan】: Still the same.

【Song Man】: I don’t want to bully a sick person.

【Lingnan】: Giving it your all is the best respect we can show each other.

This wasn’t a show. Putting aside all external factors, the only thing that mattered was skill.

The subject for the speed PK was set, and the page began the countdown.

【Phy-phy-physics?】

【Liberal arts students are dumbfounded.】

【Science students are excited!】

【That battle where Lingnan disappeared! It was a physics competition!】

【Nan Shen, you must do your best! I don’t believe Nan Shen disappeared without a word just because he lost one PK. There must have been other reasons. It’s good that he’s back now!】

【Go, A Man! The first person I watched after joining the Question Bank was A Man. I was completely captivated by this way of thinking! A Man won’t lose!】

【Is history repeating itself? Lucky to witness the second match.】

【I’m dying, I can’t understand physics at all, but I’m so freaking excited!】

【Gods are fighting!】

The moment it started, Song Man moved.

Her brain spun rapidly, various formulas floating in her mind.

Point mass, motion, uniformly accelerated, heat, resistance RθR0(1α), speed, kinetic energy…

Song Man sketched calculations in the air with her finger, muttering results and formulas under her breath, and wrote on the screen.

【I know I’m not the only one who can’t understand this right now.】

【Liberal arts student level baldness.】

【I haven’t even finished reading the question…】

【I suspect I’m a fake science student.】

【I followed along for half the calculation. Compared to math, Man Shen’s physics steps don’t feel as obscure.】

【Lingnan seems to have improved a lot. He’s calm and not rushed.】

【Speaking of which, Lingnan and Q-Shen’s problem-solving styles are quite similar.】

【Lingnan and Man Shen are PK-ing, let’s not bring up Q-Shen.】

【What’s wrong with discussing problem-solving styles? Many people have similar styles, otherwise, how else would they do it?】

【I bet Q-Shen is lurking in the livestream right now, watching.】

Chu Fengqiu was indeed watching.

It was hard not to feel a surge of excitement watching masters compete.

Chu Fengqiu was a science student and quite interested in physics.

Her main focus was on A Man. This person was as simple and direct as ever, with no irrelevant or unnecessary steps, getting straight to the point.

Lingnan’s style was also not much different from before, steady while maintaining speed. His writing felt grand and powerful.

As Chu Fengqiu watched, she noticed something.

Song Man was still in the bathroom and hadn’t come out, and there wasn’t a sound.

“Song Man, are you okay?”

Chu Fengqiu knocked on the bathroom door.

Song Man was completely absorbed in the problems and had forgotten she was in the bathroom, which startled her and made her body tremble.

But she was still in the PK, so Song Man couldn’t worry about the outside and continued to write the answers on the screen.

Chu Fengqiu didn’t get a response and was a little worried that something might have happened to Song Man.

“Song…”

“Constipation, do not disturb!”

Song Man yelled without thinking, her fingers still sliding across the screen.

The speed competition they chose this time wasn’t a whole test, but ten questions.

After finishing all the answers, Song Man tapped submit, her hand almost cramping.

It was only then that she remembered what she had just said.

Constipation my foot!

Now she really had no image left.

Forget it, she was already a Black Magic Fairy, what did constipation matter?

Even fairies get diarrhea!

Song Man looked at her phone screen, forcing a smile.

The results came out. Song Man glanced at them, put her phone in her pocket, and prepared to walk out.

After thinking about it, she came back and pressed the flush button for show, and even washed her hands.

Chu Fengqiu was sitting at the desk waiting for her. Seeing her come out, she immediately looked up.

“Are you alright?”

Song Man nodded expressionlessly.

I am fine, thank you.
