187: The most handsome male in the City of Beasts
"Little friend, why don't you come up on stage?"
Nan Zhisui walked to the front of the stage.
"Little Male, these three items have different weights, and the stone is the heaviest. How could they possibly land at the same time?"
"How can such a heavy stone compare with the wood and beast skin next to it?"
Hou Lu also said, "That's right, the stone will definitely land first!"
Nan Zhisui said resolutely, "As long as the beast skin isn't spread out and is wrapped into a ball, its resistance can be ignored, and then they will definitely land at the same time!"
Because of Nan Zhisui's unconventional answer, the beastmen began to discuss it animatedly.
"Sage Tuo Yu and Sage Hou Ting both said the stone would land first. How dare such a Little Male challenge the Sages?"
"Does anyone know her? This must be a Little Male who just arrived in Myriad Beast City."
"She looks so small, she doesn't even seem to be an adult yet."
High Priest Long Yi, wearing a plain black beast skin skirt, appeared in the crowd with a Little Priest beside him.
The Little Priest whispered to Long Yi, "High Priest, the three Sages, Yuan Feng, Tuo Yu, and Hou Lu, are discussing a new problem.
Now, a Little Male from who knows where has appeared and is refuting the answers of Sage Tuo Yu and Sage Hou Lu.
He is actually deliberately giving a wrong answer to get attention; he really is a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
Long Yi's pitch-black eyes locked onto this inconspicuous Little Male on the stage, revealing a hint of interest.
Yuan Feng asked, "Little Male, my name is Yuan Feng. The Sage on your left is named Tuo Yu, and the Sage on your right is named Hou Lu. What about you? What is your name?"
Nan Zhisui replied respectfully, "My name is Zhi Nan. I also possess wisdom, so I count as a Sage."
Tuo Yu was a bit annoyed with her. "How arrogant. You wouldn't happen to be trying to gain everyone's attention with an unconventional viewpoint, would you?"
Nan Zhisui retorted, "Is this an unconventional viewpoint? Isn't this just a fact?"
Sage Hou Lu said, "It must be the stone that lands first; there is no other possibility!"
The crowd began to chatter noisily.
"It must be the stone that lands first."
"That's right, it's impossible for them to land at the same time."
"Between the stone, the wood, and the beast skin, of course the big, heavy stone lands first. What's there to think about?"
There were nearly a hundred beastmen on and off the stage, but except for Nan Zhisui, whose answer was that they would land at the same time, all the other beastmen answered that the stone would land first.
Facing the collective skepticism of so many people, Nan Zhisui stood firmly on the stage. She turned to face everyone and held out a hand.
"Everyone, there's no need to argue. This problem is very easy to verify. Just try it and you'll know!"
A beastman asked, "How do we try it?"
"Of course, by finding a beastman to drop these three items in the air at the exact same time, and we observe the time they land.
To prevent various errors, this experiment must be repeated at least three times to draw a conclusion! However, do not spread out the beast skin; bundle it up."
Yuan Feng looked at Nan Zhisui with satisfaction, then asked, "Is there a Bird Beastmen here?"
A Bird Beastmen stepped forward voluntarily. He happily took the three items, found a place without any beastmen, and released them at the same time.
The beastmen held their breath as they watched, and to their surprise, the three items actually landed at the same time with a thud.
Tuo Yu stood up abruptly, exclaiming in astonishment, "Why is this? This is impossible!!!!"
Hou Lu was also very confused. "Why didn't the stone land first? I don't believe it, let's try it a few more times!"
The beastmen present shouted one after another, "Try it a few more times, yes, try it a few more times!"
The Bird Beastmen didn't dare to delay and tried it two more times; each time they landed at the same time.
The Bird Beastmen was very embarrassed. "This... why is this?"
The beastmen were also astonished. "Why? Why did they land at the same time?"
"The stone is clearly heavier."
"That's right, the wood and the beast skin are definitely lighter than the stone."
Nan Zhisui stepped out slowly and said, "Of course they land at the same time."
"In the case of free fall, the speed at which an object falls has nothing to do with its mass. Therefore, in a situation where air resistance can be ignored, of course they land together."
She had asked them to tie up the beast skin precisely to reduce air resistance.
In a situation where air resistance can be ignored, different objects should land at the same time.
Tuo Yu gasped, rushed in front of Nan Zhisui, and asked excitedly, "What is free fall?"
Nan Zhisui was startled and leaned back slightly in nervousness.
Hou Lu also ran over and asked excitedly, "What is gravity? What is resistance?"
The gazes of the surrounding beastmen changed; they looked at her excitedly.
This really was a Sage. It seemed she was a more formidable Sage than Tuo Yu and Hou Lu!! Everything she said was things they didn't understand.
This... was she going to give everyone a physics lesson?
Yuan Feng said, "Don't scare Sage Zhi Nan."
Everyone gave Nan Zhisui a little space, and Yuan Feng asked, "Sage Zhi Nan, I haven't seen you before. Are you new to Myriad Beast City?"
Nan Zhisui nodded. "Yes."
Yuan Feng: "May I discuss this free fall you mentioned with you further?"
Nan Zhisui said, "Sure. Let's talk as we go."
Nan Zhisui explained while drawing diagrams. When she finally finished a lesson on free fall, the way Tuo Yu and Hou Lu looked at her had changed.
From initial disdain, it had turned into worship!
Heavens, she seemed to know so much. Things like gravitational acceleration—even if they didn't understand it, it felt profound and impressive!
Nan Zhisui rubbed her hands together and asked excitedly, "Does this mean that since I answered your question, I can go on a date with the most beautiful Male in Myriad Beast City?"
The three Sages smiled, and Yuan Feng said, "Yes."
The most beautiful Male in Myriad Beast City right now was a beastman from their Ape Tribe. He arranged for him to communicate well with this smart Sage and become friends.
Nan Zhisui headed to the agreed-upon place to find him.
Under a large willow tree in Myriad Beast City, the large willow tree, the large willow tree.
Wow!!! What a beautiful beauty!
He had a tall and upright figure, sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, and a clean, smooth jawline. His eyes, like cold stars, carried a hint of imperceptible sharpness.
Such a handsome Male, tall and imposing, with long, jet-black hair like hers, well-groomed, and a beast skin skirt that was well-tailored and attractive, showcasing the owner's excellent taste.
Nan Zhisui's eyes lit up.
He was worthy of being the Male she had only gotten a one-day chance to interact with after defeating the Sages!!
Nan Zhisui trotted up and said, "Hello, are you the best-looking Male in Myriad Beast City? I am Zhi Nan, the Sage who was on the stage just now. What is your name?"
The Male's dark, deep eyes turned toward her. After staring down at her for a good while, his red lips parted slightly, "Yi."
