Chapter 69 is a bit difficult

  A simple yet challenging graphics question that tests observation, analytical and computational skills to a high degree. Stanic furrowed his brow in recollection, when was the last time he did such a question?

  The intelligence games within Mensa are diverse, with varying levels of difficulty. Members voluntarily organize and participate in these activities, freely combining their skills. The Vatican has many members in Mensa, and the clergy and followers often create their own questions. Compared to standard test questions, the difficulty level is naturally uneven. Some famous individuals often intentionally create difficult problems to increase the fun, but overall, it's rare to see such high levels of difficulty.

  What's going on?

  He looked around, unsure whether he should stop the exam.

  Or perhaps it's not as difficult as imagined?

  Stannick and Chen Yi now both doubted their own intelligence had been challenged.

  Someone gently pushed open the door behind him. The foreign handsome guy didn't even bother to look back, he didn't care about that much, his interest was piqued, and he wholeheartedly focused on doing exercises with Chen Yi.

  It's Kim Duna who came in.

  She stood still for a moment, found a corner and observed Chen Yi.

  Han Jie saw it, her eyelids twitched slightly, but she didn't say a word.

  The 20 minutes passed quickly.

  Chen Yi rushed as fast as he could, but still couldn't finish all 30 questions within the time limit. When there were only 30 seconds left, Professor Lang had to say: "Chen Yi, it's time to hand in your paper."

  "Alright." Chen Yi, drenched in sweat, glanced at the last four questions and didn't randomly fill in options, but instead handed them in as is.

  He is not the kind of person who makes money by cheating others.

  Having finished 26 questions with some confidence, achieving the goal of 23 questions was difficult but ultimately accomplished.

  Kim Duna quietly walked up and secretly remembered the answer.

  The professor, still seated and sipping his tea, chuckled and said, "Are you feeling a bit tense? Actually, with your abilities, the Mensa test questions should be quite easy."

  The foreign handsome guy coughed lightly, his face looked a bit pale, and the golden hair hidden underneath was full of sweat.

  He may have an IQ of 154, but there are seven or eight questions that he is completely unsure about, and his head hurts from thinking.

  The professor turned around and asked Stanik programmatically: "What do you think?"

  The foreign handsome guy hesitated for a moment, then smiled dryly and just nodded.

  For various reasons, he did not raise obvious doubts.

  "So let's wait for the headquarters' response. Our work is done, and we'll give you a list of everyone's contact information later. You can join in on activities when you have time, or organize your own." Professor Lang smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

  Others thought it was a matter of course. Yes, having passed the last test, passing this one is even more normal, so they all congratulated Chen Yi.

  The latter thought it was just due to tension and soon threw the problem out of his mind.

  He has taken more IQ tests than he had months of schooling.

  Unlike others, Stanic knew how difficult those questions were and he himself did not have the confidence to get 23 correct.

  This feeling made him particularly uncomfortable.

  Smart people are puzzled, only Jindona knows what question she changed, and Chen Yi's eyes are also the most fiery.

  While doing the questions just now, she secretly remembered Chen Yi's choices, which was equivalent to knowing the results in advance.

  There were many people on the scene, so Jindouna took out a note and gently stuffed it into Chen Yi's hand.

  The latter was stunned for a moment, then saw Kim Duna quietly leave the office.

  "Meet me tonight".

  Chen Yi smiled slightly.

  This approach is indeed more charming than speaking directly.

  Walking into the first floor hall, Jindona took a long deep breath and jumped up excitedly, shouting in an suppressed voice that couldn't be heard: Jindona, you're so awesome!

  A young teacher walked by, saw the limbs stretching in the air, heard the sweet and tender Korean language, and suddenly tensed up, forming two intersecting straight lines.

  Kim Duna stuck out her tongue at the teacher and beckoned him with her hand, then quickly ran out of the corridor.

  Just leaving the teaching building, I heard Chen Rongxi's cheering voice from the third floor behind me, apparently the Mensa UK headquarters gave a passing response.

  No one knows what kind of confusion and self-doubt Stanik was trapped in at this time.

  If his identity wasn't so sensitive, if his pride wasn't so reserved, as long as he raised the question, then through Professor Lang and Mensa headquarters, it would be possible to find the bribed insider, although it's hard to investigate Liu Xinyu and others, but enough to solve the mystery.

  However, Stanick was destined to hide his doubts, destined to investigate the issue himself, and destined to continue doubting himself.

  Chen Yi obtained the list of Mensa Club members in China, and surprisingly, there were only over 300 people, mostly employees of multinational companies, except for some faculty members working in colleges and universities.

  In this case, it's probably not an IQ problem, but a cognitive one.

  Think about it, whether in China or abroad, if a government official joins Mensa, doesn't that mean he's telling his colleagues: Be careful with me, I'm a person with an IQ of 148.

  Wherever there is intense competition, it is not suitable for the survival of middle-to-high IQ groups - that is the playground for top IQ and low IQ warriors.

  Looking at his thoughtful expression, Professor Lang burst out laughing and said: "Don't look at the small number of people, if it weren't for my words, this list of Chinese district might only be one sheet of paper. It's not like other countries, they can only send emails."

  He himself is indeed very fond of various intellectual games, just like the founder of Mensa in those years, so he has been vigorously promoting Mensa and inviting more people to play together.

  "It seems that the 100,000 Club members worldwide still have a long way to go before they can be caught in one net." Chen Yi smiled for a while and then said: "Professor, you mentioned that friend who has many fossils hidden away, which one is he here?"

  "I knew you'd ask." Professor Lang pointed to a name at the top of the paper, indicating that he was an early member. "Lao Ying, old friend. He used to travel frequently on business trips, running to Xinjiang, not even bringing dried grapes, but buying dinosaur fossils, 2 cents per kilogram, buying dozens of yuan worth at a time, and then asking me to help him move them."

  "A piece of fossil weighing a few kilograms is now worth at least several thousand yuan, right?" Lu Fan asked loudly, being very casual in front of the professor.

  "Ah, you young scamp." Professor Lang chuckled and said, "He picked it out himself back then, so of course he has one. People at that time only knew how to buy a dinosaur egg or something to take home as a decoration, they wouldn't even recognize a trilobite. Laoying was an authentic French exchange student, however, he liked collecting but not parting with things. You all go ahead and chat for now."

  Chen Yi was prepared. In the early days, people who collected things mostly did so because they liked them. As they grew older and their lives became more worry-free, they often turned into a mythical creature that only accumulated wealth but never spent it. However, he still had an ace up his sleeve - he could always find those who collected with an investor's eye, so he wasn't worried. Smiling, he said: "Professor Lao, what do you like?"

  "He's got everything he wants, except for one thing." Professor Lang pointed out, "He spent over 10 years in France and married a mixed-blood wife. He was the mayor of Jiangning back then, and personally went to bring him back to be the dean of the biology college. Now, you can say that he lacks nothing, except for this one hobby."

  "Is he studying in France and perhaps fond of red wine?"

  Professor Lang shook his head and smiled: "Everyone will guess so, but actually it's a cigar."

  Chen Yi rubbed his nose and said, "Cigars are easy to handle. What Cuban goods are sold in Jiangning. Professor, let's put it this way, you have to help me get two pieces of slate first."

  "Good." The professor agreed with a single word, then whispered a few sentences to Lu Fan.

  The foreign handsome guy looked at Chen Yi with suspicion, this was already the second time he had heard about fossils from his mouth.

  Although some hobbies are quite normal... However, Stanik shook his head and thought to himself that he should first find a breakthrough from the test paper.

  With a preoccupation, Han Jie was by his side, and his enthusiastic attitude also faded a bit, only tentatively inviting: "We have a swimming party on the weekend, is Miss Han interested?"

  "Does Father also have a swimming party?" Hu Fang was surprised when he heard the introduction and knew that he was a priest.

  Stanik smiled awkwardly and said, "To keep up with the times is the best way to spread God's blessings."

  "You're Catholic, right?" Hu Fang asked persistently: "Isn't a swimming party supposed to be naked? And drinking too?"

  Stanik didn't want to bother with him anymore, pretending he didn't understand Chinese, and asked Chen Yi: "What do you think of the difficulty of the topic?"

  "It's a bit difficult." Chen Yi replied sincerely.

  I barely passed with a 4th place scroll, it's really shameful.

  Stannik tried to find a shadow of falsehood on his face, but failed.

  His own face turned green with rage.

  Hu Fang asked there: "Is the swimming pool outdoor or indoor?"

  It was Lu Fan who quietly squeezed over and pulled Chen Yi, "Younger brother, do you still remember the email you sent me that day?"

  Chen Yi's face revealed a mysterious smile as he said, "Remember what?"

  Description:

  I noticed that some readers in the book review section have doubts about the existence of the Vatican, so I'd like to supplement this issue: The Vatican has indeed not been allowed to enter China and will not have a delegation sent to China, but precisely because of this, it can choose to appear as a religious role, I believe everyone can understand.
