“Just keep saving! You only kno to choose those old and small ame you want,” Lu Xiao suddenly shouted “The taller this pile becomes, the less stable it is Each book can only be chosen once You first placed all these small books on the bottom to use theher The ree books, which are easier to fall I’ht, aren’t I? But did you think I’d knock it over?
A large book was placed on top of the tower
“Continuing like this e” Boss Ma Que looked at the overall situation and said to the coreater than Master’s If this continues, Master will have difficulty lifting the books to the top” Huang Que and the others had all noticed this Only Bai Jiu hadn’t noticed She suddenly said, “Don’t worry”
Don’t tell me that she knows Master has so One Quartet all looked at Bai Jiu with the intention of listening to her wise opinion
“Ah? Eh…” Bai Jiu said, “Don’t worry, if he loses, all he has to do is pay”
The tower of books continued to grow taller At the sainally with a radius of 20 centi, like a pyramid

“<the five=”” court=”” factions:=”” fixed=”” collection=”” of=”” original=”” drawings=””>!”
The books that Lu Xiao chose had also become s Ming had been fighting a slow battle because he’d been trying to figure out Lu Xiao’s tricks, so he’d been using small books the whole ti his ability He continued to increase the height of the book tower firstly so that the overall value of the books would increase, and secondly so that he could display his strength at the critical moment!
Since he still won’tthe books taller Meng Ming could tell that there was practically no more room to place even more one book vertically on the top There was a book in his hand, but he felt that there was no need to drag it out any further Forget it, I’ll just beat him first…!
“<de tossed this book upwards, er thick <de’s=”” duty=””> stood up vertically on the top of the tower, and stably remained there!
Lu Xiao’s waiting for Meng Ming to actually start had finally paid off He knew that the book tower’s height had already surpassed Meng Ming’s height He ier-thick book and stood it on his hand He aimed at the correct position, about to place it upwards, but discovered that the weight on his fingertips had suddenly increased by a lot! He lowered his head to look…
“<newest advanced=”” oxford=”” english-chinese=”” dictionary=””>!! What…?” This heavy book had appeared on top of Lu Xiao’s hand for absolutely no reason at all!
Zhuge Style Cheating Technique—Secret Exchange! Meng Ming had taken advantage of when Lu Xiao was pondering how to place the se book It was completely impossible to place this book on the tower of books Moreover, there was a <de vertically in the middle that served as an obstruction! “How despicable!” The 15 seconds were pressing down Lu Xiao i it horizontally on top of <de’s=”” duty=””>!
“What…?!” Meng Ming, as well as all of the spectators, was stunned
This was definitely i’s=”” duty=””> could actually support the thick <oxford dictionary=””> without collapsing!
“Ha, let’s see what you do now,” Lu Xiao laughed “Let me make a prediction, no matter how you place the book, that dictionary will collapse”
It’ll collapse? It would be stranger if it didn’t… Meng Ming studied the strange scene Balanced? Not possible Even if it was, it’d still fall…or did he use some external force to support the <oxford dictionary=””>? If that’s really the case…
If that was the case, then Lu Xiao could cause this supporting force to disappear the instant Meng Ming placed his book down! This would cause the entire tower to fall apart
“Hurry up The 15 seconds aren’t going to wait for you” Lu Xiao urged At the inally chosen in his hand, the book he’d obtained froht the book up to look at it It was the sa’s=”” duty=””>
