88: Chapter 88 is not enough.

Saku Kenichi's weights fell.

One, two... five, six... ten, eleven...

Each weight was a challenge to Chen Aoyun, a challenge to chinese characters!

"Do chinese characters have as many users as english in the Old Era?"

Apparently not.

At their peak, chinese characters had 1.4 to 1.5 billion users.

At its peak, english was used by 1.6 to 1.7 billion people globally.

In terms of numbers, they cannot compare to english.

Then why should the coefficient of chinese characters be higher than that of english?

"Is the scope of use of chinese characters in the Old Era wider than english?"

Not really.

chinese characters were mainly used in the Dragon Country; even if some countries borrowed and adopted parts of chinese characters, they still could not compare in terms of global coverage.

"Are they as rigorous as german?"

Chen Aoyun had something to say about this; in terms of rigor, chinese characters and german should be on par.

But the problem is that the coefficient for the rigorous german is only 8.5, while yours, chinese characters, is 10!

Why should chinese characters be so much higher than german with the same level of rigor?

"Are they as ancient as cuneiform?"

Oracle bone script matured during the Shang Dynasty, while cuneiform matured in the Mesopotamia region in 3200 BC.

It seems they are not as early as the other.

...

Weights slammed down one by one, giving Chen Aoyun a headache.

But Chen Aoyun was not unable to fight back at all.

"Yes, that's right, every weight you place is a step ahead of chinese characters in terms of data or degree.

But this is the combined advantage of multiple languages.

chinese characters cannot compare to german in rigor, but they surpass english.

There is a gap in antiquity compared to cuneiform, but they are thousands of years ahead of the formation time of your german or english!

The same goes for the number of users and official language status.

With 1.5 billion users, chinese characters are firmly in second place.

Not to mention official language status; among the Five Good People of Blue Planet, the Dragon Country is one of them, and it is also an official language of the United Nations!"

Chen Aoyun's words were pearls of wisdom.

In some aspects, chinese characters are indeed not the extreme, but they are absolutely a hexagonal warrior!

The massive The Scales were recovering balance bit by bit.

As Chen Aoyun spoke each monologue about chinese characters, not only was he staring fixedly at The Scales, but Saku Kenichi was also staring at The Scales with a nervous expression.

A bit heavier.

A bit heavier again.

The uniqueness of chinese characters was unimaginable to Saku Kenichi.

The Scales were recovering balance bit by bit!

This was using the advantages of all known languages from the Old Era to besiege chinese characters, a single language!

Not only did The Scales not completely tip toward Saku Kenichi, but there was even a trend of returning to equilibrium!

Saku Kenichi widened his eyes in disbelief.

The commentators in the broadcast room were also shocked as they watched the screen.

The audience worldwide was so shocked that they forgot to post comments for a moment.

Everything Chen Aoyun said was not nonsense!

Every detail he gave about chinese characters being a coefficient 10 language, every monologue, was recognized by The Scales and turned into weights!

The weights were leveling The Scales bit by bit.

But in the end, it stopped before reaching complete balance.

Two reasons:

The first point is the logic of judging the power of the humanities of the Old Era carried by the language; the logic is unfavorable to chinese characters.

If every logic in the evaluation of language characteristics had a separate score, the gap between the first and second place scores would be too large!

english is the most used language, and chinese characters are the second most used, but english in first place gets an extremely high score, while chinese characters in second place can only settle for the second tier; although it is a bit higher than other languages, it is not by much!

Being a hexagonal warrior is useless.

You need to be far ahead in one extreme feature to get a high score!

Besides this reason for The Scales not being completely balanced, there is a more important point:

That is, the coefficient for chinese characters is '10'!

The comprehensive characteristics of chinese characters that Chen Aoyun has already provided might have already brought chinese characters to the same level as english.

But chinese characters are not '9' like english; it is the only language in the world with a coefficient of '10'!

Therefore, what Chen Aoyun needs to prove and answer is not that chinese characters do not lose to other languages.

It is to prove that chinese characters are better!

Time passed bit by bit.

The Scales were still in a state of tipping toward Saku Kenichi's side.

Five minutes; Chen Aoyun had less than five minutes to find a new point of view. Without a new point of view or new logic, this Judgment would end!

Looking at it from a more quantitative perspective.

Now Chen Aoyun had argued chinese characters up to '9', and was still missing a '1'.

"【The writings of Li and Du remain, their brilliance shining for ten thousand zhang】

Not a single word can be missing; missing one word would cause the logic to collapse and be completely ruined.

Where is the characteristic or advantage that other languages do not have...?

I must make up for this last '1'!"

The less time there was, the calmer Chen Aoyun became.

The original coefficient of chinese characters is '10'.

Chen Aoyun did not think it was because chinese characters had never been subjected to Judgment.

Chen Aoyun felt that if chinese characters had this coefficient from the beginning, then it must be worthy of this coefficient!

"But how should I argue it?"

Chen Aoyun frowned to the extreme.

Thinking, he was thinking...

Suddenly, Chen Aoyun thought of a point, so he spoke decisively,

"Pictographic characters!

chinese characters are the only pictographic characters from the Old Era that are still in use!"

As his voice fell, it turned into a weight, and The Scales recovered some balance toward the Dragon Country again.

"Not enough?

Is this feature not enough to fill in that last '1'?"

chinese characters are the only characters still in use.

It sounds like a great feature.

But its restrictive modifier also implicitly lowered the score.

It is not the only pictographic character; there are many pictographic characters, it is just that chinese characters are the pictographic characters that have been continuously used.

It is a very good bonus point for chinese characters, but the coefficient of '9' is already extremely high, and it is very difficult to increase it further.

It did 'add points' to chinese characters.

Chen Aoyun could feel that because 'the only pictographic characters still in use' was proposed, the coefficient of chinese characters recognized by the will of national destiny was raised from '9' to '9.5'.

But it just didn't reach '10'!

【The writings of Li and Du remain, their brilliance shining for ten thousand zhang】.

Being off by half a word won't do!

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

It wasn't just Chen Aoyun who was sweating.

Chen Aoyun's act of placing another weight also gave Saku Kenichi, the Strategist of Sakura Country, a big fright.

- "Almost, just missing this '0.5', and Sakura Country would have lost the Judgment to the Dragon Country again.

Fortunately, fortunately.

I was really afraid that if we lost this time, Sakura Country would have psychological trauma regarding the Divine Judgment, especially initiating the Divine Judgment against the Dragon Country.

As expected, chinese characters are still not worthy of a coefficient of 10."

- "It's already awesome, okay!

Before, I thought the coefficient of chinese characters was 10 only because no one paid attention to it, no one judged it, so it was 10.

Now it seems that's not the case!

chinese characters themselves are very awesome, a coefficient of 9.5!

A 9.5 coefficient recognized by The Scales and the will of national destiny.

Just ask, besides chinese characters, who else has such a high coefficient?

It's 0.5 higher than the recognized most awesome english, it's simply outrageous!"

- "Saying all this is useless, missing 0.5 means missing it, Dragon Country still has to lose this Judgment."

- "So what if they lose?

Just like [Yuan Lao], the appearance of this situation itself has a meaning even greater than the meaning of winning the Judgment!

If you are jealous, just say it; the audience worldwide is not stupid, blindly criticizing cannot change the awesomeness of chinese characters!"

A war of words had already broken out in the live broadcast room because of this Judgment.

The audience from most countries stood with the chinese characters of the Dragon Country, the officially recognized 9.5!

Doesn't this prove the point?

It proves the point, but it's not enough!

At least Chen Aoyun felt it wasn't enough!

He came to win the Game of National Destiny and was striving for first place.

It's fine to prove that chinese characters are awesome along the way, but giving up first place and only getting others' shock at chinese characters is not enough, absolutely not enough!

"So, what other features do chinese characters have that other languages do not?

It must be special, meaningful, and make up for that remaining 0.5..."

Because the time for the new move was reset to five minutes, Chen Aoyun needed a new answer...
