Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

"Oh my God!"

You never know until you look, and when you do, it's startling.

Wei Ziyi couldn't believe her eyes when she saw a string of numbers on her phone; she covered her cherry lips in shock, confirming that her speculation was correct.

Wang Zhe said with a look of disdain, "Ziyi, what's going on? This guy has already made a mistake. Why are you so surprised? Could there be something fishy here?"

"Something fishy? I don't think so! He has recited it wrong from start to finish; there couldn't possibly be anything fishy!"

"Yes, Young Master Wang, your script memorization skills are the strongest I've ever seen. Even if this kid is somewhat exceptional, he's not even a tenth as good as you!"

"I agree! Young Master Wang's memorization is terrifyingly strong; I am utterly convinced! This role is definitely Young Master Wang's for the taking!"

At this moment, many actors spoke out, none of them noticing anything unusual; they just thought Ye Fan was a bit simple-minded.

After all, even elementary school students know the first few digits of pi, yet Ye Fan couldn't even remember those, which would be simply laughable if word got out.

"6295141.3!"

Amid the contempt of the crowd, Ye Fan recited the first two hundred digits of pi without stopping.

After finishing, Ye Fan said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, but it appears I have a higher skill. Young Master Wang, you've lost!"

"What? I've lost?"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang Zhe nearly burst out laughing, and with his spirits high, said, "Kid, you must have something seriously wrong with your brain. You've been reciting it wrong from the beginning and now you're saying I lost? Are you joking with me on an international level?"

"Kid, everybody here can see clearly, you did recite it wrong; Young Master Wang is the winner!" A bunch of people chimed in.

Ye Fan said, looking puzzled, "Oh? I recited it wrong? Is that true?"

"Hahaha! Kid, there must be something seriously wrong with your brain. Go search it up and see if you recited it wrong for yourself!" Wang Zhe mocked him relentlessly.

Many shook their heads at Ye Fan; in their eyes, Ye Fan was boasting despite his mistake, which clearly showed he couldn't take a loss gracefully.

"Who says Brother Ye Fan has something wrong with his brain? Wang Zhe, I think it's you who has a major problem!"

Just as everyone thought Ye Fan had made a mistake, Wei Ziyi suddenly shouted at Wang Zhe in anger.

Director Liu Ce asked in astonishment, "Ziyi, what do you mean by that?"

"Ziyi, what nonsense are you talking about? How could my brain have a problem?" Wang Zhe asked, not convinced.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wei Ziyi raised her voice and exclaimed, "You all have underestimated Brother Ye Fan too much. Look carefully; Brother Ye Fan was reciting in reverse. Brother Ye Fan has been reciting flawlessly in reverse since the beginning; he didn't make a single mistake. He chose to recite backward, and he did so smoothly, which inherently increased the difficulty! Therefore, Brother Ye Fan is the true victor!"

What! Reciting flawlessly in reverse?

Reminded by Wei Ziyi, everyone's eyes twitched wildly. They instinctively looked at their phones and began to compare the numbers from the reverse direction.

Someone at the scene had just recorded it, and once they played back the recording and compared it, they were all shocked.

"That's right, the Little Queen is correct! The kid really did recite flawlessly in reverse!"

"Damn! It really was a reverse recitation. I was wondering, even elementary school kids know the first few digits of pi, so how could this young man get it wrong? Turns out he was doing it backward!"

"Crap! So we all failed to notice that the kid was reciting in reverse. If it was flawless reverse recitation, then he definitely has superior skill!"@@novelbin@@

Wow!

Suddenly, upon learning that Ye Fan was reciting flawlessly in reverse, the whole scene erupted into major commotion.

Clearly, they had not anticipated that Ye Fan was reciting in reverse—and doing so perfectly—effortlessly outshining Wang Zhe with his formidable ability.

Being able to recite in the usual order is not a big deal, but reciting flawlessly in reverse—that is a real talent.

"Reciting flawlessly in reverse? How… how could this be possible?"

Upon learning that Ye Fan was reciting in reverse, the smile froze on Wang Zhe's face, and he looked at Ye Fan as if he were seeing a monster, filled with shock and fear.

"Keep laughing! Go on, continue your laughter!" Ye Fan mocked mercilessly.

Wang Zhe suffered a huge blow, and he couldn't believe what he was hearing, "You can actually recite the first two hundred digits of pi backward in under a minute? Are you some kind of monster?"

"Sorry, but I've had a photographic memory since I was a kid, and it's not just two hundred digits—give me two thousand, and I can recite them backward just the same!" Ye Fan sneered.

"Reciting two thousand digits of pi backward?"

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, the crowd on-site couldn't help but draw a sharp breath of astonishment.

If it had been before, they would have scoffed at Ye Fan, but after witnessing Ye Fan's true capabilities, they were too shocked to argue.

Wang Zhe's face darkened as he said, "Two thousand digits recited backward? Keep blowing your own trumpet!"

"Whether I'm bluffing, everyone knows deep down! But you, what's the point of cheating?" Ye Fan chuckled disdainfully.

Wang Zhe's expression changed as he retorted, "Cheating? What do you mean by that? Are you saying I cheated? Kid, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say anything you want. Keep slandering me, and see if I don't punch you to death!"

"Slandering you?"

Staring at Wang Zhe, whose complexion had changed, Ye Fan mocked, "Young Master Wang, ask yourself, can you really memorize two hundred numbers in a minute?"

"Of course I can!" Wang Zhe said with towering arrogance.

Ye Fan chuckled, "Alright then! I'll give you one minute to recite the last two hundred digits of pi for me!"

"The last two hundred digits of pi?" Upon hearing this, Wang Zhe immediately fizzled out.

He only knew how to recite the first two hundred digits of pi. If he were asked to recite from two hundred and one to four hundred within one minute, he certainly couldn't do it.

Ye Fan continued to chuckle, "What's the matter? Can't do it, Young Master Wang? No worries, if one minute is not enough, I'll give you ten minutes; if ten minutes isn't enough, how about an hour? An hour should surely be enough to recite two hundred digits, right?"

"You little..."

Intentionally provoked by Ye Fan, Wang Zhe was so angry he was almost smoking at the nostrils.

Noticing Wang Zhe's frantic anger, Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "Now everyone sees, right? The first two hundred digits of pi were pre-memorized by Young Master Wang merely as a minor trick to show off! In this world, there are very few who can memorize the first two hundred digits of pi in a minute!"

"Wow, no way! Young Master Wang was actually fooling us? So he pre-memorized it all! If that's true, then Young Master Wang is utterly shameless!"

"Since when does Wang Zhe do anything less than shameless? In that minute earlier, Wang Zhe barely recited anything, then he just rattled it off all at once. I felt something was fishy right then, and now that Mr. Ye has pointed it out, it suddenly all makes sense!"

"Ugh, disgusting! To think I actually admired you just now! Turns out it was all pre-memorized!" Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

As the saying goes, 'success has many friends, but failure is an orphan.' Once the truth was revealed, everyone looked at Wang Zhe with a heavy contempt. In their eyes, Wang Zhe's behavior was nothing but dishonest and sly.

"Wang Zhe, your face is thicker than a city wall!" Wei Ziyi pointed a defiant middle finger directly at Wang Zhe.

Pft—

Scorned by the crowd, Wang Zhe was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had often succeeded with this trick, but Wang Zhe never dreamed that one day he would fall into Ye Fan's trap using the same move.

"Damn it! This is infuriating!" Wang Zhe roared inwardly.

Ye Fan couldn't be bothered to deal with a trivial schemer like Wang Zhe any longer. He turned to Director Liu and asked, "Director Liu, I won the competition, didn't I?"

"Yes, you've won!" Director Liu had to admit.

He'd lived for quite some time and could tell just from Wang Zhe's frustrated behavior that everything Ye Fan said was true; Wang Zhe had been cheating from the start.

At the same time, Director Liu was secretly astonished; he never expected that Ye Fan could actually recite the first two hundred digits of pi backward in just a minute. It was simply amazing.

He had seen many veteran actors with exceptional skills in memorizing scripts, but compared to Ye Fan, they were all amateurs. It was hardly a competition.

Ye Fan smiled, "So, can we start filming this scene now?"

"Naturally!" Director Liu nodded in agreement.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Director Liu was about to begin filming with Ye Fan, Wang Zhe, unable to accept his loss, shouted out once again.
