Chapter 435 The Literary Master Dorothy
Chapter 435 The Literary Master Dorothy
With Dorothy's encouragement, Dorothy gradually calmed down and mustered the courage to face the景区 staff.
Still slightly bowing his head,
Dorothy carefully observed the male NPC's expression.
She asked softly, "What are the small gifts? Do I get one just for answering one poem correctly, or do I have to get all ten right? If I answer all ten poems correctly, will I get more gifts?"
Before accepting a poem challenge, Dorothy had to understand the rules. She didn't want to end up empty-handed, as it would be very embarrassing if she couldn't answer.
If the rules require all ten lines of classical poetry to be correct...
The corresponding small gifts should also be more valuable.
Dorothy's large eyes sparkled with exceptional intelligence.
The male NPC hadn't expected the bespectacled little beast in front of him to be so clever as to haggle. He was momentarily stunned, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he nodded.
"Can."
"The small gift is a keychain; you get one for every correct answer."
"If you answer all ten lines correctly, you can combine nine keychains to create a commemorative album of ancient poems. How about that?"
Take out the sample key pendant and hand it to Doraemon, telling him not to be polite and to accept it.
Dorothy just now successfully composed a line of poetry and deserves a reward.
The male NPC cleverly handed the keychain to Dorothy, making it impossible for her to refuse the ensuing poetry recitation, since the other two companions would not receive the keychain.
Little guy with glasses, can you bear to let your two friends not get a souvenir?
The male NPC used a trick to lure Dorothy into accepting the poetry challenge.
Realizing there was no way out, Dorothy sighed softly and gestured for the other person to start asking questions.
hum~
Annoying guy.
How dare you use such a cunning scheme against me, Prime Minister Doro?
Watch me drain your entire stock of small gifts!
Dorothy crossed her arms and pondered for a moment, then twitched her ears to listen to the poetry.
"Spring slumber is so sweet that one doesn't notice the dawn."
The male NPC presents the second question, deliberately making it easier to ensure Dorothy can answer it correctly.
Dorothy reads a lot, and since last summer she has been memorizing an average of one poem per week. Her knowledge of poetry has long surpassed that of lower elementary school students.
"Spring Dawn," the most classic Tang poem, how could Dorothy not know it?
Feeling slighted, Dorothy gave a snort and reluctantly began to speak.
But before it could answer the question,
Pina, who was standing next to me, suddenly raised her hand and answered, "I can recite it! It's 'Everywhere I hear birds singing, the wind and rain come at night, how many flowers have fallen?' I answered this question, and you'll give me a pendant, thank you."
Having memorized the last three lines of the Tang poem, Pina proudly faced the female NPC's phone camera, hoping she could take a clear picture of her.
Since meeting Pina, Doro has never seen it read a book, so how could it possibly recite Tang poems?
and,
Although Pina was more literate,
However, it is still far from being fluent enough for reading.
Skipping the literacy stage and going straight to memorizing ancient poems was truly unexpected.
"Pina, you're really amazing! Have you been secretly studying lately?" Doro didn't hold back his praise, his dark, clear pupils reflecting Pina's face, his eyes filled with admiration.
Hearing her companion praise her, Pina quickly suppressed her pride and said modestly, "It was pure luck! Last summer in Bincheng, it was raining once, and I took shelter under the eaves. There happened to be humans inside teaching children to recite poetry."
"well……"
"That kid is so stupid."
"I spent an hour trying to memorize those four lines of ancient poetry and still couldn't get them right."
"I was so tired of hearing it that my ears were practically calloused."
With a helpless shrug, Pina recalled the experience and still felt extremely upset.
It won't laugh at anyone for being stupid.
But that human cub was incredibly stupid.
I can't remember "Spring Dawn" even after repeating it hundreds of times.
I've listened to it hundreds of times, and I've even memorized Pina's lines. To this day, I can recite it fluently.
After explaining why she could recite "Spring Dawn," Pina approached the female NPC and asked for a keychain from her.
"I like this style."
"Can I have it?"
"grateful!"
Pina bowed politely and unceremoniously spread out her small hands, waiting for the female NPC to give her the pendant she had chosen.
First Dorothy received a small gift, then Pina, while Dorothy and Donas received nothing.
Doro glanced at Donas;
Donas glanced at Doraemon.
The two little ones scratched their heads and looked at each other with happy smiles.
Duoluo has limited literacy skills. Although he studies diligently, he is not yet able to recite ancient poems.
Donas, on the other hand, is indifferent to studying and doesn't care whether she gets a small gift or not; as long as she has fun, that's enough for her.
hiss……
Getting a keychain would be nice too.
Without a small gift, I always feel like something's missing, something's off.
Donas pondered silently, watching Dorothy continue answering the questions.
Then the male NPC posed the second question, followed by the third, the fourth, and so on...
Question: "Departing from Baidi City amidst colorful clouds at dawn."
Answer: "I can return to Jiangling in a single day, a thousand miles away."
Question: "I urge you to drink another cup of wine."
Answer: "No old friends remain west of Yangguan Pass."
As the difficulty of the poems gradually increased, Dorothy was always able to answer fluently, without even having to think.
Dorothy had memorized all the poems and verses required in the nine-year compulsory education system perfectly, except for the poems and verses that were not required to be memorized, which she had not yet learned on her own.
For a high school student, Dorothy's level is only average.
If we look at the general public, Dorothy is definitely an intellectual, let alone a little beast called Doro from the world of anime.
Having successfully passed all ten classical poetry questions, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, bowing her head and slouching her shoulders.
fortunately……
The poetry questions weren't too difficult.
The ancient poetry commemorative album is mine!
Dorothy looked up and stared at the souvenir in the male NPC's hand, hoping he would keep his promise and give it to her soon.
The male NPC didn't hesitate and readily handed the ancient poetry commemorative book to Dorothy, while also posing questions to Dorothy and Donas.
"The other two little ones, you haven't received your gifts yet."
"You don't seem to know anything about poetry, that's alright, I can give you two easy questions."
"Let's play a couplet game. I'll give you the first line, and you'll give me the second line."
After finishing his explanation, the male NPC frowned slightly and tried to think of a problem with zero difficulty.
"The kitten is licking its paws."
The male NPC was preparing to give keychains to Doraemon and Donas as he spoke.
The question was so simple it was like asking for water... no, for the ocean. Even Donas immediately knew how to answer it, while Doro was a beat slower than Donas.
Before Doraemon opened his mouth,
Donas replied directly, "Big dog wagging its tail! Your question is so pointless! Are you looking down on Marshal Doro, or on our King Doro?"
"Increase the difficulty!"
Donas put her hands on her hips, shouted at the top of her lungs, and excitedly took the keychain.
Since the little guy requested a more difficult challenge, the male NPC complied, turning to Doraemon and asking, "The three lights: sun, moon, and stars."
The three luminaries: the sun, the moon, and the stars.
A renowned abbot in Chinese history
For hundreds of years, no one could solve it.
Asking Doraemon to answer this question is no less difficult than asking a child to solve calculus.
Stumped by the question, Duo Luo ran back to Huang Musong's side, embarrassed, and asked for his help.
"Human~"
She whined in a childish voice, stuck out her tongue, and giggled.
He didn't say it directly.
Doro wasn't sure if people could answer this question.
What if no one knows either and he can't help? Wouldn't that be awkward?
So, Doraemon just smiled and didn't say anything, leaving the decision of whether to help to others.
Huang Musong bent down, picked up Duoluo, affectionately rubbed its cheeks, and walked towards the male NPC.
According to historical records, the second line of "Three Lights Sun Moon Star" already has two pairs, namely "Four Poems Elegance and Ode" and "Four Virtues of Prosperity and Fortune".
Huang Musong knew the correct answer.
but,
He had two other answers.
They are... (Answers can be found in the reader group). (End of this chapter)
