"A huge trap? He dug it by himself? How did he even do that!" Village Chief Meng Bai felt that things were becoming increasingly mysterious. Recalling what he recently thought of Fang Zhengzhi, his wrinkled face instantly flushed red.

"It's really Fang Zhengzhi's doing?"

When the villagers heard Ding Qingshan and Village Chief Meng Bai's conversation, one after another their jaws began to drop in shock. This kind of news indeed had too much of an impact on them.

"That can't be? This child Zhengzhi is so strong that he can actually rob the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad? Ha ha ha…"

"What I saw was true, previously at the parade square I had already realised how impressive Zhengzhi was, he definitely had huge potential. This incident has exacted revenge for the Southern Mountain Village!"

"Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog, this is really an amazing feat!"

Even though the villagers were making fun of Fang Zhengzhi not too long ago, but, when the truth was confirmed, their attitudes changed instantly and their faces not even the slightest bit reddened from their previous laughter.

No matter what, Fang Zhengzhi did exact revenge for the Southern Mountain Village this time.

When Village Chief Meng Bai heard Ding Qingshan's reply, he had also accepted the truth.

"Good… good boy! Quick, carry all the animals to the village square!’ Village Chief Meng Bai fished out his cigar, took a deep breath, then began to give orders for the villagers to move the animals to the village square.

…

There was indeed strength in numbers. A short moment later, all of the prey had been neatly placed in the middle of the village square. The Metal-Toothed Thorn Hog on the other hand was hung up high.

The festive air of the Southern Mountain Village was similar to that of during the new year. The only person whose face was black as night was Mrs Li. Gazing at the animals on the village square, she refused to believe her eyes.

"Zhengzhi, come over quick!" After all the animals had been placed neatly, Village Chief Meng Bai waved to Fang Zhengzhi, who was currently being surrounded by a group of people.

"Village Chief." Fang Zhengzhi walked over to Village Chief Meng Bai's side.

"Tell everybody, what method did you use to rob the Northern Mountain Village hunting squad?" Village Chief Meng Bai still found it rather unbelievable.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi had only just turned seven.

Hearing Village Chief Meng Bai's words, they also quieted down, one by one stopped chattering. They all waited expectantly for Fang Zhengzhi to share his robbery experience.

Qin Xuelian had already finished inspecting Fang Zhengzhi's body a long time ago, and was assured that Fang Zhengzhi's body was indeed free from injuries, hence she also stood smiling among the crowd and looked on.

Even Fang Houde was supported by a few people to the village square, something that didn't happen very often. Still disabled, he was sitting on a chair at this moment, holding a walking stick in his hands. However, the smile on his face couldn't be missed.

"Good boy, you finally realised your potential. You have even surpassed your own dad!"

Gazing at the expectant faces of the villagers, he knew it was time for him stay "low profile".

Feeling around in his pockets, he took out the illustration he prepared. The source of the "Rock Formation Illustration" posed as a problem. Naturally, he definitely could not claim that he was the one who came up with it. Indeed, if he admitted that he had studied the Eight Diagrams Tactics before, that would be a little too shocking.

Hence…

After some pondering, Fang Zhengzhi could only pin the source of these ideas on, and credit it entirely to, Lolita.

"Did you say… after you had previously seen the question the Missus from the Divine Constabulary asked Lihuer… you then thought of this drawing based on that?" After Fang Zhengzhi explained, Village Chief Meng Bai looked at the drawing on his hands and was absolutely shocked.

Genius! What is a genius?

Having the memory of an elephant… no, this was called being able to deducing multiple things from just one event!

"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi replied confidently.

"Good boy, what a good boy…" Village Chief Meng Bai welled up with emotions. He was almost unable to speak, and could only mutter incessantly.

The other villagers were also completely stunned. After seeing that one question, he was able to think of and apply methods inspired from the question to deploy traps. This was really too extreme.

"Zhengzhi is amazing, he was actually able to draw something like this just by taking a look at the question. This is really too smart!"

"Yes, Mrs Fang had given birth to a great son!"

"Houde, you are going to live such a comfortable life now. I bet even if you were dreaming you would have smiled yourself awake!"

The villagers showered praises without any form of holding back. A few women quickly surrounded Qin Xuelian, and profusely offered to marry off their daughters to Fang Zhengzhi to become his wife.

Among them, there were even women who scrambled over trying to curry favor with Mrs Li the previous time in the village square to marry off their daughters to Li Huer. In a blink of an eye, these people began to say the same thing to Qin Xuelian.

Mrs Li’s expression instantly turned even uglier.

Fang Zhengzhi, listening to these spirited discussions from the side, felt that these matters had to be considered at length. After all, these so-called "daughters" were really too small.

Most of them were two or three years of old, and among them there was even one who was only given birth to two months!

How could he possibly know what they would look like in the future?

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t really someone who judged based on people’s looks, but, if he really had to marry a fat woman like Mrs Li… that was definitely going to be quite brutal.

Nobody came over to ask Fang Zhengzhi’s opinion, these made him somewhat gloomy.

As the women argued intensely about how good their daughter was, the men were still in deep shock.

Even though Fang Zhengzhi attributed his thinking to Lolita, it still stirred up a rather large commotion. To be able to imprint in memory and copy out the illustration just by taking one look at it was already an amazing feat, yet he was still able to alter it further.

Wang Anhua, who was among the crowd, looked at the trap formation Fang Zhengzhi drew and his eyes instantly lit up brightly. Taking a few steps out of the crowd, Village Chief took over the illustration from Village Chief Meng Bai and studied it carefully.

Then, his initial shock grew bigger and bigger. Even though he didn’t completely understand what was illustrated on it, but looking at the formation, it seemed contain some incredibly amazing patterns.

Could it have originated from the Eight Diagrams Tactics?

That was an extremely profound knowledge found within the Law of Dao, even those great people who accessed Dao might not be able to comprehend this. A seven year old child, really could reach such a level just from reading?

"Sir, what do you think?" Village Chief Meng Bai looked at Wang Anhua expectantly. In this Southern Mountain Village, Wang Anhua represented knowledge and learning.

"I can’t really understand…" Wang Anhua answered honestly.

"Can’t understand?! Do your words refer to…" Village Chief Meng Bai wasn’t quite able to understand what Wang Anhua said.

"Do you think it would be possible to let me bring this back and study it in more detail over the night? I’ll get back to you after a few days!" Wang Anhua didn’t speak further. He had thought of Lolita’s instructions for him.

"Zhengzhi, what do you think?" Village Chief Meng Bai turned over his head and seeked Fang Zhengzhi’s opinion.

At this time, in Village Chief Meng Bai’s heart, he had already treated Fang Zhengzhi as a member of the hunting squad, this was the due respect he had to show to an "adult".

"Alright! But, I have a request." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
