With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 550 Inheritance (13)

Chapter 550 Inheritance (13)

The next morning, Lin Fan set off with the elders in search of the next trial.

The disciples were already having no problem going around outside the barrier for training and were even exploring for treasure now, so there was no need for them to worry about them.

The other elders were more than enough to take care of these disciples.

During this time, the strongest beasts that they had found were those in the Qi Gathering Realm, so it didn't seem like there would be a problem for them to protect the disciples.

Just in case, they also left one of the Golden Core Realm elders to hold the fort.

So without a need to worry about the disciples, they headed off to find the trial.

This time, they were heading west.

The disciples had already scouted out the area around the barrier with their training, so there wasn't much else for them to check here.

They just directly headed straight west.

It took them a while, but they eventually found another clearing just like the one from before.

In the center of this clearing was another pillar that was like the one that they had seen previously.

When they saw this, they all immediately knitted their brows as they turned to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at this pillar, but the same thing happened where he wasn't able to see a thing with his Appraisal Eyes.

It was as if there was something that was there around the pillar that was blocking him from appraising it.

But he wasn't surprised since it had also happened with the other pillar.

After a long period of silence, Lin Fan said, "Let me go and see what this trial will be."

Senior Brother Ying and the others had worried looks on their faces when they heard this, but not a single one of them stopped him.

It wasn't that they weren't worried about him, but rather because Lin Fan had already shown what he was capable of with the other pillar. He was the only one that had been able to do anything to that other pillar, even taking it out all on his own in the end.

So they knew that they wouldn't be able to help even if they went with him.

All they could do was stay away to make sure that they didn't implicate Lin Fan and make sure that he could do what he needed to do.

Lin Fan gave a nod to them and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful."

The elders nodded in response to this, but there were still the worried looks on their faces.

Lin Fan took a deep breath before walking into the clearing.

There was nothing that happened when he entered the clearing, so Lin Fan slowly moved towards the pillar.

He was ready to run away just in case anything happened.

But there was nothing that happened until he was just a few meters away from the pillar.

Just like before, there was a light that appeared around the pillar when Lin Fan came close to it.

That light went from spreading all around the pillar to gathering at the tip of the pillar before it was released like a beam of light.

This beam of light shot out in front of the pillar and took the form of a human figure.

When this human figure appeared, Lin Fan's expression relaxed a bit before becoming tense once more.

That was because this was a figure that he recognized.

It was Feng Yu who had appeared before.

This figure just stood there for a bit before saying the same thing as before.

It seemed like the first part was indeed a recorded message that would repeat over and over again.

The second part however was different.

"Your first trial will be a trial of intelligence. I will be asking you some questions and you will have to give the right answer to pass."

As he said this, there was a change that happened with the pillar.

Lin Fan raised his guard at first, but then he relaxed again when he saw what had changed with the pillar.

It was a panel that had appeared on the pillar that had something that seemed like a pen.

However, for Lin Fan who came from Earth, he was able to recognize that this was a stylus.

That meant that this panel was most likely some kind of display screen that he would write on with the stylus to give his answer.

But since it was a test of intelligence, that should mean that there would be no fighting.

So Lin Fan waved his hand at the elders for them to come over.

The elders were surprised to see this, but they still came over to Lin Fan's side where he quickly explained what this trial would be.

The elders all looked at Feng Yu who was prepared to give his first question.

He seemed to have been explaining something that wasn't that important, so they had been ignoring him this whole time. But now that he was giving the first question, all of them immediately focused on Feng Yu.

"The question is there are three doors, one with a prize behind it and two without anything. The host of the game show who knows where the prize is opens one of the doors to show that there is nothing behind it. Then the host offers you the chance to switch doors, should you switch doors?"

After saying this, Feng Yu walked over to the tablet and said, "Please write your answer down within five minutes. If you do not write an answer, it will be regarded as a null answer and you will fail this question."

Then Feng Yu just went silent and stood there staring into space, almost as if he didn't have a soul.

But then again, this was just a projection, so it wasn't as if it was a person controlling it. There was only a recorded message that it would play and nothing else.

After the question had been asked, all of the elders knitted their brows deep in thought.

It was only Lin Fan who had a strange look on his face.

That was because he was familiar with the question that Feng Yu had posed.

He should be the only person in this world who was familiar with this question since it was a question that didn't exist in this world.

This was a question that had been a famous riddle in his past life…this was the Monty Hall problem from Earth.

Now he couldn't help feeling more and more certain that Feng Yu was someone from Earth just like him.

He would have asked the system, but the system had already told him to wait since it still hadn't found anything yet.

While Lin Fan was lost in his thoughts, the elders slowly started to stir.

It seemed like they had finished thinking about the question and had come to an answer.

One of the elders slowly said, "You shouldn't change, right?"

The other elders slowly nodded in agreement to this.

"It doesn't matter if you change or not since it's a 50% chance that it's behind either door."

"That's right, since the host has already eliminated one of the wrong options, it just means that it's behind one of these two doors. It shouldn't be any different whether you switch or not."

"Isn't this question a bit too simple? It doesn't feel like a challenge at all."

The elders sounded like they were very certain about this, so they turned to Lin Fan to give him their answer.

It was Senior Brother Ying who came up to Lin Fan to say, "Sect master, the answer should be to not switch doors since it doesn't matter which one you choose."

Lin Fan had been pulled out of his thoughts when he heard this.

He looked at the elders with their confident expressions and he couldn't help giving a sigh as he slowly shook his head.

The elders couldn't help feeling that something was wrong when they saw him do this, but they still insisted on their answer.

Lin Fan just shook his head more before walking over to the panel.

He picked up the stylus and started to write.

It was one simple sentence that he wrote on the tablet, but the elders were all shocked by it.

"Sect master, you wrote the wrong answer. It should be to not switch."

"Sect master, quickly change the answer."

"Sect master, there's still time!"

But Lin Fan just put the stylus back down without a care.

They had let him answer since they had wanted him to receive the proof of passing this trial. Lin Fan had already received one of these, so they would naturally want him to collect them all.

But now it seemed like it was a bad choice…

It seemed that Lin Fan thought completely differently from them.

They wanted to go up to the tablet to do something, but they found that the words that were made of light left by the stylus had disappeared.

It was already too late.

Then all of a sudden, Feng Yu started moving once more.

He walked over to the tablet and then looked down at it as if he was reading something.

While he acted this way, he said, "It seems that you've put down an answer. Let's see what it is."

After looking at the tablet for a bit, he said, "Your answer is 'don't switch'."

The way that he said this almost sounded mechanical, like some kind of autofill for the answer.

The elders just waited for Feng Yu to continue with bitter smiles on their faces.

After a few seconds, Feng Yu continued by saying…

"That answer is…"
