I Made Scientific Magic Chapter 63

  Chapter 63 Lynn's Bankruptcy Game (two in one, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

   "Everyone, good morning, I am the new Olympiad professor of Iyeta Academy of Magic, you can call me Lynn..."

  Under the surprised or skeptical eyes of the students, Lin En stood on the podium, using his hand as a pen and pure magic power as ink, he wrote his name in the void.

   Then the quiet classroom immediately became noisy.

   "Professor Lynn, I heard that you came from the other side of the sea of ​​mist, can you tell us what it's like outside?"

   "Professor Philip said that you think this continent is spherical, so why don't the people below fall?"

   Probably Lynn looked too young, about the same age as them, so the wizard apprentices were not as stiff as they were facing the rest of the professors, chattering and asking various questions.

  For example, how he crossed the sea of ​​mist, defeated the maelstrom, and what kind of magic he used to destroy half of the harbor city, and even mentioned his free-fall experiment.

Obviously, in just one and a half days, his deeds had already spread. These wizard apprentices who came to attend the class did not mean that they were looking forward to this course, but purely for this new professor from the Overseas Mist. Feeling extremely curious.

  Faced with this series of questions, Lynn didn't know which one to answer first. At this moment, Jonny who was sitting by the side suddenly asked.

   "Professor Lynn, what is Mathematical Olympiad?"

  Lin En breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained.

"Good question, Mathematical Olympiad is a subject that studies complex concepts such as quantity, structure, change, and space. You can use it to measure the circumference of the planet under your feet, explore the laws of the stars, and analyze the constants of the universe... Mathematical Olympiad almost includes Everything you see is the most important tool to gain insight into the truth and understand the world!"

   While speaking, Lynn used the principle of sound wave transmission to increase his volume, which made everyone's eardrums buzz, and successfully quieted down the noisy classroom again.

  Every apprentice present could not help but feel fascinated by those extremely high-end nouns that came out of Lin En's mouth, and many of them realized that they were taking a very special magic class.

  However, Lynn, who finished drawing the big pie, changed his words and continued to speak. "Of course, these advanced knowledge of the Olympiad is still too far away from you. Now you must start learning from the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division..."

   "Isn't that just counting?" The apprentice leaning against the front row couldn't help but interrupted. "We have already learned these in basic courses."

The prerequisites for learning magic are literacy and understanding of the most basic calculation principles. Therefore, Iyeta Academy usually supplements the basic knowledge for a period of time for those children born in poor families, teaching them literacy, counting, and identifying the basics. Magic symbols or something.

   "Having learned multiplication and division, can we master some powerful magic?" Another wizard apprentice asked curiously.

   "No." Lynn shook his head.

   Seeing his denial, the expressions on the faces of the students suddenly became very disappointed. Some even suspected that Lynn was just fooling them into taking this class by saying that the Olympiad was so magical.

"Isn't this Mathematical Olympiad class the same as the basic class? It's not difficult to count. It only took me more than a month to master it all..." A teenager who looked about fifteen years old and had freckles on his face asked proudly.

   "Oh? Really? Are you sure?" Lynn asked back with a smile, then clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

Although he can release [Magic-Barrage] to show these people the powerful combination of magic and Mathematical Olympiad, Lynn knows that if he wants to continue the Mathematical Olympiad class, he must let these people know that even pure mathematics is still the same. Has unimaginable power!

"In this case, let's make a bet!" Lin En put a smile on his mouth, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and under the action of the [Mage's Hand], the four desks in front of him floated up. Then spliced ​​into a larger square table.

   Immediately afterwards, the quill placed on the desk was automatically stained with ink, dividing the large square table into six rows horizontally and vertically, a total of thirty-six squares.

"The rules are very simple. Put one copper coin in the first square, two in the second, four in the third, eight in the fourth, and so on..." Lynn looked around Looking at every apprentice in the classroom, he spoke in a very seductive tone.

"If someone can fill these squares with the corresponding coins, I will immediately write an application, explaining to the Wizard Council that he has completed the study of Olympiads with full marks, and will give him another bottle of [Magic Power] source of】…"

   "Professor, is this true? Are you joking?" Another tall and thin apprentice, Pierce, in his twenties, suddenly stood up and asked excitedly.

  What is [the source of magic power]?

   That is the most important thing for a wizard apprentice to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard. It is worth hundreds...even hundreds of magic gold coins, and it is not something that can be bought with money!

  For a scumbag like him in his twenties who hasn't completed any of his subjects, Lynn's two promises are particularly important.

   "Of course, with my personality as a guarantee!" Lynn nodded and said without hesitation.

   Hearing Lynn's decisiveness, Pierce hesitated for a moment. His life experience told him that such a cheap thing is impossible in the world. Either the professor in front of him is fooling himself, or there is something wrong with it.

  Pierce roughly calculated in his head, but soon he couldn't go on. He could only roughly estimate that it would take 63 copper coins to fill the first six grids in the first row, which didn't seem like a lot.

   "Anyone want to give it a try? There is only one place!" Lynn said temptingly again.

   "I'm ready!" The boy with freckles on his face who interrupted his words earlier stood up impatiently,

  Pierce looked at Alok who stood up, and suddenly felt regretful. He shouldn't hesitate. He didn't even have the courage to fight. No wonder he couldn't be promoted to an official wizard.

   "What's your name?" Lynn asked curiously.

   "I'm Arlok, Professor!" the wizard said loudly.

  It turns out that your kid is called Ai Luoke...

  Lin En nodded. He happened to accept a favor from the other party's father yesterday, asking him to take care of this kid.

   Isn't this opportunity coming?

"Ai Luke, right, I must first remind you that this gamble cannot be given up. Since you have played, you must fill up the entire square, and the money you put in will be used as a research object for this subject. Funding, this is your price in exchange for my promise and [source of magic power]!" Lynn kindly reminded.

   "Of course no problem!" Eloque said, patting his chest. Although he couldn't figure out how many copper coins would be needed to fill these squares, he was very clear about the value of a copper coin and a bottle of [Source of Magic Power].

  This is a gap of a million times!

   Millions of copper coins can fill the thirty-six squares no matter what. No, maybe only 20,000 to 30,000 copper coins are enough.

   And [The Source of Magic Power] is something that cannot be bought with money!

   "Then please!" Lynn pointed to the square table, with a signature smile on his face, indicating that Eloque can start his performance.

  Ellok was not stage fright at all, he took out his money bag directly, and put the first copper coin on the first square.

   Followed by two, four, eight, sixteen... thirty-two...

  By the time it was placed on the sixth square, the copper coins in his hand had been used up, and the seventh square needed sixty-four copper coins...

  Ai Luoke held a silver coin in his hand, hesitated for a while and did not put it down directly, but turned his head to look at the students who were watching the play, and said very proudly. "Can anyone lend me some copper coins? When I fill up this square, I will pay you back double tomorrow!"

Encouraged by Ai Luoke, the wizard apprentices present gave generously, and took out their purses without worrying that the other party would not be able to pay back. Pierce, who was still regretting, even took out all his savings—six Gold coins!

   Soon the borrowed coins were piled up all over the table, and only Jonny watched from the side and didn't mean to take the money.

   "Jonny, aren't you going to make some money?" Lynn asked curiously. "Or have you already figured out the result?"

The silver-gray-haired girl gave him a blank look. Although she couldn't figure out how many copper coins would be needed to fill up the thirty-six squares, she knew that Lin En's brain must be fine, and she couldn't take out a bottle of [The Source of Magic Power]. .

  Ai Luoke on the side seemed full of confidence. The funds of all the apprentices were pooled together. There were already more than 20 gold coins and more than 200 copper and silver coins. No matter what, they could fill in these squares!

  Thinking like this, Eloque grabbed a handful of coins and filled in the second row of squares.

  After spending a total of forty silver and ninety-five copper, one-third of the grid on the square table has been filled.

   Easy, so easy.

  Most of the apprentices have already begun to worry about why they were not the first to stand up. Even Jonny, who has great confidence in Lynn, began to waver. Could this square table really be filled?

Eloque was even more energetic, and piled forty silver coins and ninety-six copper coins into the thirteenth square, but when he continued to fill in, he vaguely noticed something wrong, because the last one in the third line Square grid, you need to put down a whole thirteen gold coins!

  It's probably...seems...seems...isn't it a bit much?

  Ai Luoke's expression became hesitant, and the money in his hand was no longer enough to fill in another box.

   "You can write the amount directly with a pen, and then we will calculate it together!" Lin En reminded indifferently, and did not mean to embarrass the other party.

   Eloque looked at the remaining half of the grid, gritted his teeth, took the quill pen aside, and filled in line by line.

  Two hundred...no...three hundred...as long as the total amount he spends is less than three hundred magic gold coins, his father should be able to forgive him, after all [source of magic power] cannot be bought with money.

  However, with this idea in mind, Eloque only filled in four boxes, and found that his budget had been exhausted, and he had to post a lot.

  Under Lynn's "friendly" gaze, Eloque's hand writing the numbers kept shaking. The numbers were so huge that he had to use pen and paper for auxiliary calculations when he filled in the third line.

   But Eloke would rather not be able to figure it out by himself, and his heart tightened for every number he wrote down. When he wrote the fifth line, he was about to cry.

  Eloque had already silently counted the assets of the family in his heart, and then discovered something that frightened him.

   Their family seems to be bankrupt...

   No, this is not a problem that bankruptcy can solve.

  Because it takes a total of fifty-three thousand six hundred and eighty-seven magic gold coins to fill the last one in the fifth row!

  Ai Luoke's mind was stunned, and he passed out directly. Even if he became an official wizard in the future, he would not be able to earn so much money by working around the clock for hundreds of years!

   And there is still a whole row on that square table that is not filled!

   "Eloque...Eloque!"

  Ai Luoke who fell to the ground suddenly shocked everyone present, and Lynn was no exception. He didn't want to scare people to death for the first time in class.

  After checking with his shallow medical knowledge, Lynn quickly found that the other party was fine. He immediately made an ice cube and pressed it on his forehead, which quickly woke him up.

  Ai Luoke was in a trance. He seemed to have a dream just now. He dreamed that he played a game with the professor, and then owed a debt that could never be replaced in his lifetime...

  After he opened his eyes, he discovered a fact that he didn't want to face—this didn't seem to be a dream, but real...

   "Since you're awake, let's fill in the last box as agreed!" Lynn patted Eylock on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

Ai Luoke had an expression uglier than crying, but he had to sit on the seat. In the end, he could only make a mess, comforting himself in his heart. He couldn't afford 50,000 magic gold coins, so it was increased to two. What is the difference between one hundred thousand and five hundred thousand?

   Really makes a difference!

   A long string of numbers written by Arlok's brain collapsed.

   After filling in the last square, Eloque had to count the units one by one with his fingers.

   One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, one hundred million... Eloque couldn't bear to count down, but Lin En directly revealed the answer.

   "It's 34.359738368 copper coins!"

  Hearing this terrifying number, the students present were dizzy for a while. Looking at the long square table in front of them, it was hard to imagine that 33.3 billion copper coins could be accommodated in this small square!

  Jonny also had an unbelievable expression on her face. Although she could imagine that there must be a lot of copper coins to fill the grid, she never expected it to be so terrifying.

   Don't say it's Eloquen's money, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it up if I sell the entire Iyeta Harbor directly!

  Just a game of squares, instantly made all apprentice wizards appreciate the horror called exponential growth!

  Lin En looked at the silent students who were still immersed in the huge numbers, and said solemnly.

   "This is the power of the Olympiad! If someone can convert the power of the Olympiad into magic, it will be powerful enough to destroy this planet and even the entire universe!"

   This is no joke!

  Theoretically, after folding a piece of paper in half 103 times, its theoretical thickness exceeds the diameter of the observable universe.

  As long as any thing can keep it growing exponentially by 2, it will soon be able to squeeze the entire universe!
