Chapter 409 Beauty Is Stunned

Soldier’s request immediately furrowed Beauty's brow. "Are you trying to play tricks? How on earthcan a hen do math?" she questioned.

"If this hen truly listens to this country boy, it means it can be domesticated. Monkeys in the circuscan do math, so this hen should be able to as well. If it can't, then it proves the country kid can’tcontrol it. Then he’s lost, and he has to kneel and call me 'grandpa!'" Soldier’s logic was clearly adesperate grasp, but Beauty decided not to interject and turned to Daniel instead.

"What do you make of his challenge?" she asked, replaceing the whole spectacle increasingly amusing.

"Math problems?" Daniel nodded thoughtfully. "Alright! Since Soldier here has made the request, I'lloblige. You set the math questions, and I'll have the hen answer."

"Remember, country kid, you agreed to this. Don't back out when you lose."

"Whoever chickens out, is a chicken!" Daniel chuckled.

Beauty couldn’t resist joining in, jokingly prodding Daniel, "That means you’re a chicken."

"Beauty, you like puppies?" Daniel shot back, playing along.

"Puppies are adorable, of course, I like them."

"You like the cuteness of puppies, right? Or is it because puppies lick you?"

"Get out of here!" Beauty shot Daniel a look and retorted, "You’re so inappropriate!"

"But you like it when I’m inappropriate. If I were all prim and proper, it wouldn’t be as fun, right?"

The two engaged in their own world of playful banter, becoming increasingly risqué. Soldier felt likean outsider, and worse, a forgotten one.

Beauty was his goddess!

The goddess he dreamed of, whose image made him drool in his sleep!

But now, his goddess was openly flirting with a country kid in front of him. It was more painful thanbeing scammed.

"Ahem!" Soldier coughed to break up the flirtation, then snapped off a twig and announced,"Prepare to kneel, country kid! I won't be too harsh; I'll even go easy on the chicken. Let's keep itsimple with addition and subtraction within ten."

After scratching out the problem on the ground with the twig: 3+2=?

Daniel looked down and instructed the hen, "There’s your question laid out by Soldier. Get to it.Sure, you're just a hen, but I bet your IQ can crush this guy."

"Cluck, cluck, cluck..." The hen clucked proudly a few times, then used its claw to scratch out thenumber "5" after the equals sign.

Witnessing this, Beauty was shocked. "Can this hen really solve math problems? Is it still just achicken?"

"It's been trained by me, after all. Naturally, it's extraordinary and not just any ordinary chicken,"Daniel boasted with a grin.

Soldier was gobsmacked, shaking his head in disbelief. "Impossible! It can't be possible! It's just ahen—how could it do math? It's a coincidence! It must be a random scratch from the chicken's clawthat just happened to land on the number '5.'"

Convincing himself it was just a fluke, Soldier quickly came up with another problem. This time, heincreased the difficulty several fold. 3+(2−1)=?
