Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

69 The Champion Gets The Prize!



Li Bai: What a good first half! That's just too difficult for me! I surrender!

Tao Yuanming: Nine crooked exquisite… Damn. I can't get the next half as well!

Tang Bohu: I really know the answer for this couplet! Please give me another chance!

Monkey King: You have already been disqualified! Please, don't embarrass yourself in front of so everyone!

Tang Bohu: (Three crying emojis).

Du Fu: *Cough!* What? Is there no one who can answer to my couplet? Brother Bai, care to try?

Bai Juyi: Erm… Couplets that come from the Lord of poetry himself is too damn difficult for me. I surrender as well.

Du Fu: Hahaha… Then, I think I'm the champion of this couplet competition! (Three acting cool emojis). If that's the case, I shall announce the answer!

Chen: Wait! Let me try!

Nezha: Wow! God Chen is online!

Du Fu: Alright! Please try.

"Hehe… The couplet is from one the classic scene of the movie; "Flirting Scholar". I have the exact answer for this couplet. My dear Tang Bohu, please do not be angry at me for plagiarizing your line. Wahahahaha…" Chen thought.

Chen grinned and started to type the answer,

"Four pairs of eyes are feasting on the flower,

the moon, and Qiuxiang!

- Hold on… People in the group do not know who Qiuxiang is. I need to modify my answer.

Then, Chen thought,

"Ten thoughts to be missed,

Missing your king,

Missing your hometown,

Missing your country.

A feast for four pairs of eyes,

Feasting on the flowers,

Feasting on the moon,

Feasting on Chang'er."

Du Fu: Nice one! Such wisdom! Your answer is even better than the answer I had in mind!

Li Bai: What a good answer! Your answer completes the couplet. It is definitely a pleasure to our ears and minds! You are such a talented romanticist!

Bai Juyi: From today onwards, you are the smartest person in this Red Envelope group! I think that everyone would agree with me!

Tao Yuanming: I agree! Let me give 320 likes!

Tang Bohu: That was my line….. (Three crying emojis)

Monkey King: This is God Chen's line. Go away! It's none of your business!

Chang'e: God Chen, I really admire your wisdom and talent. Can I add you as my friend? (Three flirtatious emojis).

Liu Li: Wow! Sister Chang'e has never added a single male as a friend before! Today she just added her very first male friend!

Tang Bohu: (Countless crying emojis)

Zhu Bajia: (Countless + 1 crying emojis)

Chen: Of course. Let me add you as a friend. Chen almost kissed his phone in joy. He had simply plagiarized someone's work, and he's now the smartest guy in the Red Envelope group. Also, the goddesses have started to pay attention to him as well.

Du Fu: Hold on. According to the rules, God Chen needs to come up with another couplet. You will become the champion if no one can answer your couplet!

Chen: What is the advantage of being a champion?

Wen Quxing: I'm the one who organized this couplet competition. The champion will receive a reward from me."

Chen: Damn! That's nice of you! Let me think!

Chen was all over the place because luck had just struck him without him realizing it.

"I have to think of something that no one can answer!" Without a second thought, Chen quickly Googled for couplets.

Three minutes later, he found the right couplet. He put on an evil smile on his face.

Chen:

Dice,

Mahjong,

Pai Gow,

Losing Gambler.

….

…..

…..

The whole fell into silence when Chen announce his first half of couplet. Ten of thousands of members were stunned. None of them had an answer to Chen's couplet. There was not even a person give it a try.

After three long minutes.

Du Fu: God Chen, please tell us the answer…We have no answer to your couplet.

Chen: Okay. Please read it. The first half is;

Dice,

Mahjong,

Pai Gow.

Losing Gambler.

And, the second half is;

Lonely old street,

chilling wind,

exhausted horse.

People mourn for you."

After a few seconds of silence, the group got all excited again.

Du Fu: Brilliant! The structure of your couplet is well written. Also, it carries a great meaning as well! Thumbs up!

Li Bai: You are definitely the smartest man in this room right now! I yield!

Bai Juyi: I agree!

Tang Bohu: I have no answer to your couplet as well! You are the real deal here!

Tao Yuanming: Another 32 likes for you!

Wen Quxing: Alright! I'm going to announce that the champion of the very first couplet competition in the Three Kingdom Red Envelope group is…God Chen!

Right after the announcement being made, several congratulatory messages flooded Chen's cellphone's screen. Chen was completely overwhelmed by it.

Wen Quxing: Alright! Be silent, please! I'm going to give out the reward to God Chen right now; The Holy Pill of Qu Xing!

Ding!

A Red Envelope appeared on the screen.

"Holy Pill of Qu Xing sounds damn powerful! Wahahahaha…" Chen tapped the screen to snatch the Red Envelope.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have snatched Wen Quxing's Red Envelope. You have received a Holy Pill of Qu Xing. It has been stored inside your treasure chest.]

Chen dug into his treasure chest impatiently.

Ding!

[Holy Pill of Qu Xing; handcrafted by Wen Quxing, top grade holy pill. Your learning ability will be boosted to the maximum after consuming the pill. Do you want to withdraw it?]

"Er…" After reading the description, Chen was disappointed. He had been skipping class every day. What learning was there for him?

"I'll just take it anyway" Without a second thought, Chen tapped on the retrieve button. A pill glowing with divine appeared in Chen's hand.

Chen swallowed it immediately. Shortly afterward, Chen felt that a flow of crystal clear, divine neurons opening up new pathways inside his head. The flow was non-stop. It was a pretty fantastic feeling. At that moment, Chen felt like his brain was like a bottomless sea, one without limits, capable of taking in everything the world has to offer.

"Siiii… This feels so good!" Chen took a deep breath. He felt so refreshed and energetic. When he took another glance at the cellphone again, something magical happened. Initially, he was getting dizzy, looking at all those overwhelming messages that had flooded his cellphone screen. Now, he could read between the lines clearly. Also, he had an eidetic memory now. He could remember every single line from the chat group, down to every single punctuation and emoji!

"Damn! This is f*cking insane!" Chen was completely shocked. He never expected the Holy Pill of Qu Xing to have such a powerful effect. Scientifically speaking, Chen's brain had been fully unlocked. His cognitive functions were beyond Godlike. Chen quickly picked up an advanced mathematics book and flicked through it.

The most magical thing had just happened right in front of his eyes. The complicated mathematical formulae had become as easy as one, two, three. Advanced mathematics was notorious for its high rate of failure. Now, it was child's play for Chen. He felt like a Ph.D. student now. Who said that the Hold Pill of Qu Xing was useless? It was a cheat code in life! Suddenly, Chen's cellphone vibrated.

Ding!

[Congratulation on receiving Chang'e Red Envelope!]
