Chapter 17 The answer is -112 leaves

"Huh?" The devil was stunned after hearing Li He's words. He blinked several times and couldn't react: "You...what did you say?"

"5050 leaves, isn't that the answer?" Li He said.

"This is indeed the answer." The devil nodded subconsciously, "But... but ten breaths haven't even passed. How could you be so fast... You guessed it, right?"

"Does it matter if you guessed it? Doesn't it matter if you answer it correctly? If the answer is correct, tell me your second question. You said before that you have extraordinary wisdom. I hope the next two questions can Reflected."

"I..." Devil looked at Li He, his expression became uncertain. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath, raised his tone, and said, "Okay, let's start the second question. This question is better than the first question. The questions are much more difficult, let me see if you can continue to guess correctly!"

"Just try and you will find out."

"Okay, listen! It's the same old kingdom, it's the garden in the king's palace. This time there are a thousand strange trees growing in it. The first tree has only one leaf, and the second tree has only one leaf. There are two leaves, the third tree has only three leaves...and so on, the thousandth tree has only a thousand leaves.

Let me ask you, how many leaves do these thousand trees have? I'll give you five hundred breaths... No, I'll give you one hundred breaths. Answer me. "

"Oh." Li He responded after hearing this, glanced at the devil in front of him, and said slowly, "500,500."

"You -" the devil's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of confusion, "How could you be? I was in the box, and it would take me five hundred breaths to calculate this problem at the fastest. How could you... be so fast? ? You can’t guess so fast, let alone guess correctly twice in a row..."

"How many breaths have been calculated? Is it a guess? It seems to have nothing to do with answering the question? Now I have given you the answer. If it is correct, it is your turn to ask the last question. What is it this time? There are ten thousand trees in the garden Tree?"

The devil's face turned pale, then red, and finally livid. Staring at Li He, he gritted his teeth and squeezed his voice out from between his teeth: "No, the problem this time is not 10,000 trees. Listen, listen to me.

In the ancient kingdom, in the palace of the kingdom, there was a huge garden with one hundred thousand trees growing in it. The first tree has only one leaf, the second tree has three leaves, the third tree has five leaves, and so on. Now tell me how many leaves there are in these 100,000 trees! "

"What about answer time?"

"Whatever you want! As long as you can answer it, as long as you can answer it correctly!"

"Is that so?" Li He nodded lightly, then looked at the devil and remained silent for a long time.

Now, he realized something. The self-proclaimed devil in front of him, regardless of his so-called immortal body and terrifying power, his extraordinary intelligence is currently in doubt.

After all, he had never seen a being with extraordinary intelligence test people with large numbers of additions. This is because you haven’t even mastered the arithmetic sequence in mathematics, right?

Li He was silent for a long time, but the devil twitched his eyebrows and gradually smiled: "What, now you can't answer it? So, you only know the questions in the original pattern, right? So, I just need to make some changes, and you You don’t understand, right? Haha, I knew it..."

"10000000000." Li He spoke out and said a long number, interrupting the noisy devil.

"Um?"

"10000000000." Li He answered again and couldn't help but ask, "You haven't learned the arithmetic sequence, have you? So, in your opinion, as long as you do enough additions, it is a difficult problem that tests your wisdom, right? ?”

"What arithmetic sequence? I don't understand what you mean."

"I don't expect you to understand, just like I don't expect what you just said to be correct." Li He held the modified rifle in his hand and looked at the devil with squinted eyes. "Just tell me my answer." Right?"

"This...I need this..."

"what do you need?"

"Need to do the math."

"how long?"

"One hundred breaths... no, five hundred breaths... no, it's quick anyway. Just wait." The devil turned around and squatted down with a gloomy face, using his fingers as a pen to write and draw on the ground. stand up.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

A long time passed, and after a while, the devil stood up with slightly trembling legs.

Turning his head and looking at Li He, there were beads of sweat on his face, his expression was a little aggrieved, and his eyes were a little confusing, but he still took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "You..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Congratulations, you made it right."

"Congratulations to you too. It took you so long and you got it right."

"..." The devil's eyes widened and he stared at Li He for a long time, "Are you mocking me?"

"I'm just telling a fact."

"Ha!" the devil laughed, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether you are mocking me or not. Now you just answered my question correctly, I haven't answered your question yet.

Tell me your question. Don't underestimate me. I have enough knowledge hidden in my mind. Even if I lose part of it after staying in the Pampas Box for too long, the rest is enough to cope with you! Our battle of wits is only halfway through.

Now tell me your problem, let me see your ability, let me see your wisdom! "

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

"real?"

"No nonsense!"

"Okay, as you wish." Li He nodded slightly and said, "Then my first question is... Well, let me borrow the background of the word question you just gave me. There are countless trees growing in the gardens of the ancient kingdom. , the first tree has one leaf, the second tree has two leaves, the third tree has three leaves..."

"Do you want to humiliate me? Ask me my question again?" The devil frowned after hearing this.

"No, there are changes below. Listen carefully. Among the trees in the garden, the 100th tree has 100 leaves, the 200th tree has 200 leaves, and so on, does the infinite tree have 100 leaves? Endless leaves. Assuming that trees really are infinite, how many leaves are there?"

"This..." The devil hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly sneered, "Ha, of course there are endless leaves! You don't think I'm stupid enough to add up each leaf, do you?

You underestimate me. Since it is an infinite tree, the leaves are naturally infinite. There is no need to calculate at all and we can directly draw the conclusion! "

"Oh, you are indeed smart. But..." Li He said.

"But what?"

"But the answer is wrong."

"Huh? How is that possible? What's the answer? Ten million leaves? Ten million leaves?"

"The answer is... minus one-twelfth of a leaf."
