Chapter 23: Knowledge Contest
"Xue Ying, are you uncomfortable, why is your face so pale?" Lin Tianlan put her hand on Xia Xueying's head uneasily, there was no fever.
Xia Xueying shook her head: "I feel a little tired." Just get some sleep. β
"I see, you're feeling sorry for Qiu Shanshan, right?" Lin Tianlan patted her, "You're always so soft-hearted." Actually, I have some sympathy for her, but there must be something hateful about poor people, and we are not responsible for all this. Don't think about it, be happy, huh?"
That's what I did...... Xia Xueying nodded slowly and stopped talking.
Such a big event happened, and the program team didn't want everyone to be disturbed by the outside world, and they were afraid that someone would make any sensitive remarks, so they took back the students' mobile phones.
Xia Xueying returned her phone expressionlessly and went to bed early.
On the top bunk, she faced the wall, wrapped herself in a quilt, and closed her eyes tightly, trying to sleep.
She didn't want to think about Qiu Shanshan, so she counted the sheep and told herself seriously to go to sleep.
Counting and counting, she felt the pillow a little damp, and reached out blankly to touch her face. It turned out that before she knew it, she had already burst into tears. Tears trickled down her neck and slid into her neck with a slight tingling and coolness.
"Today's incident has nothing to do with you. Why are you crying?" asked her in the back of her mind, a mechanical voice puzzled.
"Doesn't it have anything to do with me?" Xia Xueying's eyebrows tightened, "'I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me', have you heard this allusion?
There was no response.
Xia Xueying laughed self-deprecatingly: "I actually told a system about this. How do you understand. β
"I'm sorry, I was distracted. The system replied, "Speaking of Beren, he was my host, and I have not only heard it, but also experienced the allusions you said. β
"Really, it's not bragging, right?" Xia Xueying was surprised.
The mechanical voice was a little annoyed: "I never brag! I have existed since human civilization began!"
"Then, have you seen Xiang Yu?"
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, is a historical hero that Xia Xueying likes and fascination very much.
"Yes, we've been together for a while. The mechanical voice said triumphantly.
Xia Xueying was shocked: "Your host is Yu Ji?"
"Uh...... Not really. At that time, the host was Han Xin, who had stayed under Xiang Yu for a while. Han Shin, you know, right?"
"Hey, I graduated from the history department of F University in my previous life, and of course I know Han Xin. After thinking about it, Xia Xueying suddenly became angry, "Wouldn't it be you who ordered Han Xin to leave Xiang Yu and defect to Liu Bang?
ββ¦β¦ Of course not, Han Shin's affair is a secret. The machine replied in a slurred voice.
"What's the secret?"
"It's a secret, but it's been so long, and you're in a bad mood today. I'll tell you. Obviously, after some struggle, the mechanical voice said mysteriously, "You can go to see Qian Lifang's "Providence", the truth is all in it." β
Teacher Qian Lifang's "Providence", Xia Xueying has long read it, it is about a mysterious force that controls the change of dynasties, and even wants to destroy human civilization.
The story that once moved her deeply turned out to be true! Xia Xueying only felt that her chest was full of anger, and she continued to worship.
Under the wheels of rolling history and the huge waves of the years, his joys, angers, gains and losses at this moment are really too small to mention.
Xia Xueying asked a bunch of Xiang Yu's gossip again, and then threw out many historical puzzles that had plagued her for a long time, such as whether Wu Zetian really strangled his own daughter in order to ascend to the throne? Did Zhao Guangyi really kill Zhao Kuangyin to seize the throne? What was the real cause of Shunzhi's death?
β¦β¦
Most of the problems, the system said that they didn't know, and Xia Xueying was very disappointed.
"Hey, I'm just a system that follows the host, neither an omnipotent and ubiquitous master, nor is I hiding under someone's bed, so naturally I don't know everything. The chattering system protested dissatisfiedly.
Xia Xueying smiled: "Thank you." β
"Huh, why do you want to thank me?"
"You've been talking to me for so long today, you want to comfort me. Now I feel much better, so thank you. β
"Oops, you've found out. The system was a little shy and said, "Okay, go to sleep." Good night. β
"Good night. Xia Xueying gently closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

After Qiu Shanshan's incident, the image of the "Super Idol Girl Group" program was somewhat damaged. After the program team researched, it was temporarily decided to add an assessment of a knowledge competition. Designed to show the public, the program is full of healthy, positive, and uplifting content.
Perhaps, it can not only reduce the hostility of the show's black fans, but also make them turn black fans. It's a way to buck the trend.
The 59 students were divided into four groups by lottery, and each group sent three players to participate in the competition.
For the group that wins the first place, the individual votes of all members can be increased by 5%.
Xia Xueying and Lin Tianlan were both drawn to the fourth group, and they, together with Zeng Xiaoxi, were selected as players in this group.
Today's Xia Xueying is firmly in the first place, about 30% more votes than Xu Yin, who is in second place, so this reward is not very attractive to her.
But this is a team competition, and the rewards are related to the interests of more than a dozen team members. So she didn't slack off at all.
The topics of the knowledge contest cover all aspects of economics, sports, entertainment, politics, social sciences and humanities, etc., which can be described as all-encompassing.
There are two types of questions: multiple-choice questions and short-answer questions, and the answer form is always exciting and full of gunpowder.
Host Yin Ran: "First question, what does the marathon originally refer to? A sport, B person's name, C place name. Pleaseβ"
Wang Sina in the first group had a fast hand, snapped the button, and grabbed the opportunity to answer the question: "I choose the name of Person B." β
"The answer is incorrect. 10 points will be deducted. β
On the answering seat, her teammates Xu Yin and Song Keren covered their faces and sighed.
The students of the first group in the audience also regretted the unfavorable start this time.
"Question 2, which movie won the most Oscars in 2008?A Benjamin Button, B Batman prequel, C Slumdog Millionaire. Pleaseβ"
Lin Tianlan quickly slapped the button: "C, the millionaire in the slums." β
Yin Ran: "The answer is correct, add ten points." β
The fourth group cheered.
The competition continued, Xia Xueying thought that she would be invincible as a top student, and she answered fluently, but gradually she was depressed and found that more than half of the questions were entertainment questions. She didn't know any of this.
So when the other contestants were dancing and snapping the shot, she could only sit still.
And when everyone didn't move, she would calmly raise her hand and clap the button.
Because at this time, I usually ask some tricky topics in social sciences, humanities, politics and economy.
Soon, the competition came to an end, with the scores of the first and fourth groups quite close, and the fourth group was 20 points behind the first group when there was still one last short-answer question.
Yin Ran: "The last question, the score is 30 points." Historically, there have been different opinions about whether Yongzheng's throne was passed on by Kangxi or tampered with the edict. What do you think is the truth? β
The players looked at each other.
Wang Sina's funny and outspoken character has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so she simply said boldly and bluntly: "Since there are different opinions, where does the truth come from? β
Her words also attracted a lot of echoes.
Lin Tianlan didn't mean to answer, she studied economics and didn't have a deep understanding of historical issues. She pulled the corner of Xia Xueying's clothes and motioned for her to make a quick move.
Xia Xueying calmly stretched out her hand again and clicked the button.
