Chapter 47 – Still that artificial intelligence idiot
Qin Yu noticed that Know-it-all's expression was as if he was constipated, so he tactfully changed the subject.
"Senior, stop making things up. If you don't want to say it, then don't!"
Know-it-all: "..."
"Since there's nothing else, I'll go in and look for the Xuantian Tokens!"
"Hold on!" Know-it-all hurriedly blocked Qin Yu's path, "I haven't told you about the loophole I found!"
"You haven't said it yet?" Qin Yu urged, "Then hurry up and tell me!"
"Watch your tone when speaking to the elders of the Xuantian Sect. Even the Sect Master wouldn't dare talk to me like that!"
Qin Yu: "If you don't say it, I'm going in!"
"Alright, alright, I give up. I'll tell you!"
Know-it-all conjured a bottle of water and placed it on his head.
"Didn't you say that if you put a bottle of water on your head and take deep breaths, it proves that people can breathe underwater, right?"
Qin Yu nodded. He had indeed tricked Know-it-all like that before.
"Well, now I can seriously tell you, you're wrong!"
Qin Yu internally complained: ‘Why so much talking? Hurry up already! The ocean is just full of water!’
Know-it-all pointed at the bottle on his head and said, "You're not breathing underwater; you're breathing under the bottle!"
"So, your theory was wrong from the start!"
Qin Yu was dumbfounded.
‘Seriously? You spent two months thinking about this and came up with this?’
Qin Yu had anticipated every answer but never guessed that Know-it-all would focus on the water bottle.
‘This is the epitome of artificial stupidity!’
If it weren't for the fact that Book Spirits don't age, Qin Yu would have thought this guy had dementia.
Seeing Qin Yu's stunned expression, Know-it-all was overjoyed.
"How about it? Convinced?"
Qin Yu forced a laugh, "Senior, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
"I bet I can still prove you're wrong."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Know-it-all confidently said, "A bet it is!"
"Alright!" Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Qin Yu laid out the terms: "Senior, if you lose, you have to tell me where the Xuantian Tokens are hidden."
"No way, no way!" Know-it-all shook his head, "I'm an upright Book Spirit; how can I help you cheat!"
"Alright then!" Qin Yu sighed and turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go!" Know-it-all quickly flashed in front of Qin Yu again, "You haven't told me how you'll prove I'm wrong."
Qin Yu shrugged, "Senior, you're right, I'm wrong, okay?"
Knowing Qin Yu had something up his sleeve, Know-it-all couldn't bear to let him go.
‘Though I'm an upright Book Spirit, sacrifices must be made in the pursuit of truth.’
‘Yes, all sacrifices for truth are worth it, including my upright soul!’
After convincing himself in a few seconds, Know-it-all said to Qin Yu:
"I can't tell you exactly where the Xuantian Tokens are hidden, but I can give you a general location."
"That works too!"
"Alright!" Know-it-all said, "If you win, I'll tell you the general location, but if you lose?"
Qin Yu said, "Anything, as long as it doesn't involve selling my body or soul, I'll do whatever you want!"
"Great!" Know-it-all was very pleased.
"I need you to write on a huge banner: 'The Pavilion Master of the Scripture Pavilion, Senior Know-it-all, is the most knowledgeable person in the world, knowing everything and understanding everything!'"
"Then, during the Spring Festival, you have to carry this banner through the busiest places in the Xuantian Sect, shouting the words on the banner."
"Is that okay?"
Qin Yu: "Uh..."
‘That's so embarrassing!’
"Senior Know-it-all, everyone in the Xuantian Sect already knows you're all-knowing. I don't think there's any need to advertise it!"
Know-it-all: "No, this has been my wish for over a hundred years. Every year, I offer 100 Contribution Points for this task, but no one takes it."
‘100 Contribution Points to buy someone's dignity for the rest of their life? No wonder no one takes it!’
‘Carrying that thing around is like streaking in public, maybe even more humiliating!’
If Qin Yu had even the slightest chance of losing, he would never make this bet.
"Alright, I agree!"
"Let's cut the chatter. I'll demonstrate how humans can breathe underwater."
Qin Yu poured the water out of the bottle and used his mental power to hold it above his head.
His current mental power could easily extend outward and lift objects weighing about ten pounds.
Once the water was suspended above Qin Yu's head, he took a deep breath of fresh air.
Qin Yu looked at Know-it-all: "Alright, Senior, I've proven it. This time it's not under the bottle, but underwater, right?"
"Senior, where are you going?"
Seeing Know-it-all trying to slip away, Qin Yu quickly said:
"A bet is a bet, Senior. Aren't you an upright Book Spirit? What about your morals? Your integrity?"
"I don't care, you're cheating. I'm going into seclusion now. When I come out, I'll thoroughly prove you're wrong!" Know-it-all left these words and disappeared completely.
Qin Yu sighed and said softly:
"Senior, you can rest assured in seclusion. During the Spring Festival, I'll definitely carry the banner through the crowded places."
"Just that the content on the banner needs some changes."
"Let me think about what to change it to. How about 'The Pavilion Master of the Scripture Pavilion, Know-it-all, deceives juniors and lacks integrity!'"
"Or I could publicize the 'breathing underwater' thing, so everyone knows Senior Know-it-all might not be all-knowing..."
Know-it-all reappeared in front of Qin Yu.
Qin Yu feigned surprise and said, "Oh! Senior, you're out of seclusion so soon?"
‘Trying to play tricks with Yu Ge, and you can't even handle a little artificial stupidity?’
Know-it-all gritted his teeth and said, "Before going into seclusion, I suddenly remembered I hadn't fulfilled my bet with you!"
Qin Yu sarcastically said, "Senior has such a good memory, remembering something from so long ago."
A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.
Know-it-all glanced at Qin Yu and whispered:
"The Xuantian Tokens are hidden on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, but don't tell anyone I told you."
