The Dragon Prince's Wife is a Translator

555 Chapter 555 “Other Options“

"Boy, so you only need 4 liters of water?" Long Ao Zhen knew this must be another intelligence test, but if there was another way to solve this boy’s problem, he didn’t need to play the ’solve this problem’ game, right??

"Yeah, I need it, but my father said it has to be exactly 4 liters. He needs it to make medicine." The boy wiped the tears off of his cheek as he explained it to Long Ao Zhen.

"Can’t we just buy another jar or bucket with a 4 liter measurement?" Shu Chen didn’t want to do another intelligence test either, since he felt useless. He was in this team to show Li Shi Ying about herbs and other treasures she might need.

If Li Shi Ying can get all the treasures by herself, she wouldn’t need him, right?? Won’t he be thrown away from this team? He had just found a big golden thigh to hug, how could he let go?

"We don’t have enough money to buy another jar or bucket. My father will sell the medicine he makes for our living...if he can’t make it because of me..." The boy began to cry again when he mentioned the mistake he did, making Long Ao Zhen have the urge to slap the boy to make him shut up.

Men shouldn’t cry easily!

"Borrowing from other villagers?" At this time, even Li Shi Ying also offered another suggestion. If she could, she also didn’t want to do another intelligence test, since it only reminded her of her family.

Her father, her sister, her other brothers...now she missed home...this is bad, she couldn’t get carried away in this homesick feeling. She didn’t even know if she could go back to her world!

Not to mention that she had found someone she loved here...she couldn’t leave Long Ao Zhen just like that, right?

"No other villagers have buckets with measurements of 4 liters. My father made it by himself, since usually villagers use the 5 or 3 liters buckets for their daily needs...my father made the jar because of that."

The boy looked really sad, as if he had destroyed something important which was made by his father. Of course, whether this was acting or not, no one knew besides the boy himself.

"Can’t your father just make another jar??" Long Ao Zhen almost lost his patience. He had suspicions that this kid here was sent by the staff from the tournament’s side.

How come this kid’s situation always ’force’ them to do something?? There would be no other way than to help this kid solve his problem only using the remaining bucket with 5 liters and 3 liters capacity.

This is clearly a test set up by the people from the tournament!!

"Father needs the water as soon as possible, otherwise the medicine he makes will fail...I..." Just like what Long Ao Zhen thought, the boy gave another reason why he couldn’t get another bucket or jar with 4 liters capacity.

"Just bring another bucket, filled it with half water from 5 liters bucket and half water from 3 liters bucket. 2.5 liters + 1.5 liters it’s 4 liters right" Shu Chen who was silent after giving his opinion before, suddenly spoke up again.

So he already gave up, and now was trying to solve this boy problem using the 5 and 3 liters bucket to take 4 liters of water.

"I told you big brother, it has to be exactly 4 liters! How can you know it’s exactly 2.5 liters and 1.5 liters?" The boy refuted Shu Chen’s answer with a cute glare as he went back to cry over his problem, sending headaches to Shu Chen.

Okay, okay, he wasn’t as smart as Li Shi Ying but he had try okay?! No need to glare!

"How about filling the 5 liters bucket with water but don’t fill it until it’s full? Maybe we can get 4 liters" Long Ao Zhen also tried to give his opinion for the boy even though what he just said, was more or less like what Shu Chen said.

"Ao Zhen, this boy needs exactly 4 liters. If you use that method you won’t know if it’s exactly 4 liters or not." Li Shi Ying placed her palm on her forehead hearing Long Ao Zhen’s answer.

It’s the same answer as Shu Chen answer!

"Then what can we do?? It’s impossible to get exactly 4 liters of water from buckets with 5 and 3 liter capacity!" Long Ao Zhen knew he wasn’t too good in counting and calculating things, since usually those weren’t his job.

Now this question...this question needed counting and calculating right? It was his subordinate’s job!

Li Shi Ying went silent as she recalled her memories from her previous world. This question was one of the hardest questions her father gave her back then. She needed 2 hours to solve it with her other siblings, so she knew how hard it was to solve this problem.

This is a math question after all, how could it be not hard? The tournament staff really didn’t give mercy to participants, ah! Thankfully, she had heard this question before and now just needed to recall the answer.

Now...what was the method?? 5 and 3 liters...could it be...
