Chapter 251: Do What You Are Good At

They would just take turns asking questions, and see if the other side could give a satisfactory answer.

Tan Mo shook her head and said, "This isn't an exchange... This is a placement test. Both sides take turn asking questions and answering questions as if it were a competition. How is this a discussion that will help us learn more? A discussion is where one side asks something that he doesn't know, then both sides discuss the question and propose their answers, and whether or not the answers are right, it may bring the question into a new direction. That is my understanding of an exchange and a discussion. A discussion is not like this, in which you attempt to ask obscure questions that the other side could not answer, and once they could not answer, you feel extremely proud that you are better... If the other side happens to answer your questions, you think that you've gotten slapped in the face...

"There's nothing to be proud of when you are asking someone what you know and what they don't know," Tan Mo continued as she looked at the Tsinghua students. "If that is how you want this competition to go... Not only '24 Histories', you can also ask me questions on other histories: 'Left History', 'Government Analysis', 'Important Events Since Jianyan', 'Record of Han', 'Record of Ming', 'Record of Gan Formalities', 'Economies of the Seventeen Shangs', 'How to Interpret History'...

"Or even informal history such as 'Strategy of Mingji in the South', 'Strategy of Mingji in the North', 'Guo Que', 'The Travels of Xiao Dian', you can ask me anything from these books as well, or more that I have not mentioned. You can ask me anything you know and attempt to test me with what you know. I can also give you some extra time to search for something obscure in the library or for you to bring a book here to read out a passage to me. If I can't answer, then I lose!"

They were not as good as they held themselves to be, so how could they look down on the Beijing University students.

She was irritated!

Professor Zhao felt some weakness in his knees.

He knew Tan Mo well. Tan Mo never exaggerated about what she knows. She has never done that before.

But what she just said, does she actually know all of it?

Professor Zhao coughed to hide his smile, he was extremely proud of her.

You see?

That's my student.

"So, is this how you all want to compete?" Professor Zhao asked.

The Tsinghua students hesitated.

"We don't believe that Tan Mo has actually memorized all of that," Yang Guangyuan said in a lowered tone. He was irritated.

"Before we also didn't believe her, but then Tan Mo slapped us back and proved that she actually did know what she said she did," Hao Yidan said. "Since Tan Mo said it...what if she actually knows it?"

Before, they were the ones who were eager to exchange with the history consultant of "Legend of Wei and Jin".

They had actually wanted to exchange, to discuss, and to learn something new.

But once they heard that the history consultant was Tan Mo, they no longer had the heart to do so.

Tan Mo was also a sophomore, but she was much younger than all of them, and most of all, she was not from the History Department. What could they have to learn from her?

They didn't want to lose face in front of that little girl.

After Hao Yidan said that, they all stood silent for a moment.
