Chapter 132: The Extra Race
After Lai Dingtian left, Mr. Wen came to my cubicle and said to me, "Eleven, you have staged a shocking reversal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the fourth round, I thought you were going to be eliminated. I didn't expect you to play so well in the back and catch up. ”
Naturally, I also wanted to know the process of the competition, so I asked, "Teacher Wen, how is that Lai Dingtian?" ”
Teacher Wen said, "You're talking about the No. 1 player, right?" He's been consistent in his game, with eight points at all, except for six points in the fifth round. If you hadn't played so well later, I'm afraid this number one would have been his. ”
"Teacher Wen, that Lai Dingtian proposed to memorize Chinese characters in Gasai, and I agreed." I said.
Mr. Wen seemed to know for a long time, so he said: "This is not unusual, you don't know, I just heard that the family of the No. 1 contestant is also very rich in Singapore, and the hotel chain that held the competition is their family, and it is also the main sponsor of this memory competition." There was still some weight in what he said. ”
I was a little surprised, but Lai Dingtian did look at it with a sense of noble son. "I'm a little curious, I don't know why she asked for the Chinese characters to be added, which seems to be in our favor. ”
Teacher Wen said disapprerovingly: "Don't be a rival, since he took the initiative to ask for it, I'm afraid he wouldn't ask for it if he wasn't completely sure." Well, don't think too much about it, play well. This time you are sitting in the Asian Championship, this is the best result since our junior competition, come on! ”
I knew Mr. Wen was going to talk, but when I wanted to smoke the most. I smiled and said, "Teacher Wen, I want to go to the toilet." It's going to be a game later. ”
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wen smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go to the toilet and smoke a cigarette." ”
… Half an hour later, the venue had been rearranged. Only two of the original ten glass compartments remained. The position has also changed, and it is placed in the middle. Lai Dingtian and I stood on the stage with the host, who spoke fluent English. Roughly speaking, it means to introduce the play-off program this time. Then, the host introduced: "Leolai", and the audience burst into applause, mixed with the screams of many women. Lai Dingtian smiled slightly and nodded politely.
I knew I was going to introduce myself next, so I took a deep breath and straightened up. The next moment, the host read: "elevenchuan". There was a burst of laughter in my heart, and the host was not wrong to translate it like this. It's just that I always sound a little weird. Thinking of the applause, I had to smile and nod my head.
Lai Dingtian said to me: "Zhang Shiyi, I hope you can play well, I look forward to your performance." ”
To be honest, Lai Dingtian is a little arrogant, but I don't know why, but I don't hate it. I don't know if it's because he's always smiling, or because he's really handsome. I smiled and said, "I'll try." I hope you behave well too. ”
Entering the glass compartment again, my ears suddenly calmed down, but I was a little uncomfortable. After putting on the headphones, the voice rang out: "Congratulations on making the extra round." This time, the Chinese character memory project was added. There are a total of 1,000 Chinese characters memorized this time, and the memory time is 15 minutes, and the contestants need to write the specified Chinese characters accurately within 30 seconds. This competition adopts the golden one-hit system, one player answers incorrectly, and the other player answers correctly will automatically win, players please prepare. ”
A thousand words, fifteen minutes, that is, each word has less than a second to remember. The training of the Chinese character memory project is only a passing pass, because although this project is in the catalog of the competition, it rarely appears. Mainly because most of the contestants don't know Chinese characters. This project is naturally a bit unfair to the contestants from countries that do not use Chinese characters. Conversely, the use of the English alphabet is more common. The next moment, a notice board with a length and width of two meters appeared in front of me, and many Chinese characters were densely written on it, from the simplest character to the many strokes. At this time, I really understood where Lai Dingtian's confidence came from. If you suddenly see so many unrelated Chinese characters without knowing it, you will really be a little caught off guard.
As soon as I was distracted, more than ten seconds passed. I bit my lip, and I began to memorize it seriously.
… Finally, before the memory time was over, I finished memorizing. I wiped the sweat from my forehead. Quietly waiting for the question. The next moment, a voice sounded in the earphones: "The third line, the seventeenth word." ”
"The third line, the seventeenth word?" My mind was racing, and the title was the word "Ji". I wrote on a clipboard. Then hold up the clipboard.
The next moment I heard only the words: "Fifth line, twenty-three words." ”
Ten rounds later, the game continues. My palms started to sweat, this kind of kanji memory contest is a test of short-term memory, and the longer it takes, the higher the possibility of making mistakes. Clearly, though, the club is aware of the problem and is intent on making it more difficult. In the eleventh round, the question was: "The sixth word in the seventeenth line, and the thirty-third word in the ninth line." ”
This time it's two words, and two words that can't form words: "Zhan Wei." ”
After another five rounds, the difficulty increased again, this time with three words. I felt like my brain was reaching its limit, and my heart was beating faster unconsciously. In the silent glass cubicle, the sound of the heartbeat is infinitely amplified. The voice in the earphones still didn't have any emotion, and he read lightly: "The tenth word in the third line, the third word in the tenth line, the thirteenth word in the thirteenth line, and the thirty words in the thirtieth line." After listening to the question, I gasped, the difficulty was increased to four words, and the question was very confusing. It looks like the game will be played for real. I wrote: "Win and book can." ”
The next moment, a voice suddenly came from inside the headset and said, "The game is over." Congratulations on winning the championship. ”
I was a little surprised, I took off my headphones, and as soon as I opened the door, Mr. Wen hugged me and said, "Great, Eleven, you won the championship!" ”
Lai Dingtian on the side smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "You are really amazing, congratulations." ”
I stretched out my hand to shake hands with Lai Dingtian and said, "I'm just lucky." ”
Lai Dingtian shook his head and said: "You are humble, luck is also part of strength, I am very happy to meet you." ”
… After the award ceremony, Mr. Wen went back to the room early, and I knew that he was going to write a report. This time I took the first place, and his task can be said to be overfulfilled. A man in his forties with a scruffy beard hugged me and kissed me several times, and if I hadn't known him for a while, I would have wondered if Mr. Wen was a pedophile.
