Chapter 45: Guessing Contest
Approaching 12 noon, Yuxin and the others finally gathered 50 puzzle notes to solve, and then they were shortlisted. When the staff ushered them into the lounge, they were shocked: it turned out that there were already several groups of finalists sitting in the lounge.
The first thing that catches your eye is the elderly group. One by one, they talked and laughed, and when they were holding the chance to win, they didn't feel ashamed at all because they bullied the small, and they were slandered.
But the most eye-catching thing is the pair of young girls. A vibrant, all-female college student. A few people formed a circle, laughing and playing, singing and singing, so lively.
No, the obscene foot-picking uncle next to him,* has been staring at them, looking disrespectful to the old man. However, there seems to be no one around him, could it be that he was shortlisted on his own? This guess immediately amazed them.
The last group, it seems, is a pair of lovers. When they entered, the two were holding their phones and giggling and playing online games.
Seeing that the staff brought a few people in, everyone looked curiously for a while, and then went their separate ways.
Yuxin and the others found a corner where no one sat down, and they couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts. I didn't expect that it was just a square in City C, and there were so many masters. It seems that this reward is not so easy to get.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the staff saw that no one was shortlisted, so they urged them to hurry up and get in the car and prepare to go to the competition venue.
After the bus started, Yuxin and the others found that there were many cars following behind, and the long line was like a big snake winding forward. It seems that the enthusiasm of the citizens of City C for the guessing contest is really unprecedentedly high!
The car was driving on the busy street, Yuxin patted Duo Duo beside her, and then Duo Duo turned her head and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Duoduo! Are you nervous? Yu Xin asked softly.
"What about you?" Duoduo asked without answering.
"Of course! I'm so nervous that my palms are sweating! Yu Xin said as she took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Why are you nervous if you don't participate in the competition?" Duoduo scoffed at his nose.
"I'm nervous for them!" Yu Xin said, pointing at Su Mu and Xu Mubai, only to find that they were also tense faces, without their former calmness.
Yuxin and Duoduo shouted bad at the same time! Su Mu and Xu Mubai are the main players participating in today's competition! If they are too nervous and play abnormally, then today's game is over!
No way! This must not be allowed to happen! Otherwise, I'm going to have to rub shoulders with my TVMA veneer guitar.
Duoduo thought so, and gave Yuxin and Xiaoya a look respectively, and then the three sisters worked together, cheering for their main general along the way. The chirping was crooked and endless, and Su Mu and Xu Mubai almost had a nervous breakdown before they entered the arena......
Victory Square in the center of the city is the largest square in City C, covering an area of about 20,000 square meters and can accommodate thousands of people at one time.
When the bus arrived at the scene, the Victory Square of Nuoda was already crowded with people. There is a huge video wall at each end of the square, and it looks like the game is going to be broadcast live.
Under the leadership of the staff, Yuxin finally passed through the crowded wall and came to the door of the competition site. Everyone looked at the dense crowd behind them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as Su Mu and Xu Mubai thought that the nightmare was over, Duoduo's advice as if chanting a scripture began to babble again. As soon as Yuxin and Xiaoya heard that Duoduo was so attentive, they joined the battle group without saying a word, and they were ...... righteous It's just a thin cloud of righteousness!
The three of them chattered for a long time, but there was no repetition of a word, and they had bitter faces when they heard it, one head with two big heads. I couldn't stand it anymore, so Su Mu yelled at them: "Don't say it, okay?" If we continue to nag, we may not be able to guess a single puzzle. ”
"Ahh Is it that serious? The three girls were suddenly frightened and stupid, and they all made a cute look, how cute they wanted to be, how cute they were, and they couldn't laugh or cry.
Xu Mubai had to tighten his face, couldn't help but smile, pretended to be serious, and nodded: "Yes!" We need to be quiet! Very, very needed! ”
Seeing that he was so cautious, Duoduo stuck out his tongue and said stupidly: "Let's not speak!" But you've got to get me an award! ”
"Okay, okay! Mission completion guaranteed! Su Mu and the others nodded busily. In that way, it seems that as long as they are willing to agree, they are willing to do anything.
A few people followed the flow of people into the competition site, and casually glanced at it, only to find that there were so many finalists this year! After a rough estimate, there are probably no less than 30 groups!
"Sumu! Xu Mubai! You must come on! Duoduo shouted, and then walked towards the audience. Su Mu and Xu Mubai smiled bitterly, and then walked to the player's seat not far away and sat down.
After everything was ready for the game, the host took the microphone and appeared on the stage. I played at one point that I said I was good, and the result was ...... An opening ceremony dragged on for half an hour, either to thank this or that, and to insert some small advertisements in the middle. Hearing that everyone was about to doze off, she began to announce the rules of the game unhurriedly.
The rules of the competition are as follows:
1. This competition can be participated in as an individual or as a group. (Group group limited to 2 people)
2. The competition is divided into three rounds, each of which lasts half an hour, plus a five-minute break in between, for a total of 100 minutes.
3. In this competition, each puzzle is limited to 20 seconds, that is, 3 questions per minute. The duration of the game is 90 minutes, i.e. there are 270 puzzles.
4. This competition is a points competition, that is, one point is awarded for answering a question, and no points are added for incorrect answers, with a total score of 270 points.
5. The competition is in Internet mode, and the tablets of all groups are synchronized with the host. Contestants only need to write their answers on the tablet on the desktop within 20 seconds.
(Serious reminder: no favoritism, no help from the outside of the venue, otherwise you will be disqualified from the competition.) )
After all the rules of the competition were read out, the host began to announce the official start of the competition. All the players are staring at the tablet on the table, waiting for the battle. The crowd of onlookers in the audience was so nervous that they didn't dare to come out.
Yuxin and the others looked at Su Mu and Xu Mubai on the players' bench, and then looked at the score table on the TV wall, secretly praying that they could fight for good results.
As the countdown to 321 on the video wall ended, a puzzle suddenly flashed. In the lower right corner, the 20-second countdown also begins to pass second by second.
As soon as Yuxin looked at the puzzles on the TV wall, she felt that its difficulty was at least a notch higher than that in the square. She couldn't understand it, so she could only hope that Su Mu and them could pass all the way.
The clock ticked by, and every 20 seconds, the video wall's score gauge was changing. The players and the audience stared at each puzzle with bated breath, and the scene of the competition was so quiet that it was audible.
Maybe they were too nervous, at the beginning of the first round of the competition, Su Mu and they made several mistakes in a row, and they made one or two mistakes from time to time in the middle, and the result was ...... After one round, their results are all ranked in the middle and lower reaches.
The strange thing is that among the teams that came with them, the results of the senior group and the molested uncle were among the best. That group of lovers is comparable to them. And that group of girls is even worse! It's almost at the bottom.
At the end of the round, there is a 5-minute half-time break. Yuxin and the others saw Su Mu and Xu Mubai's tired looks, and their hearts were pinched.
Duoduo took out a piece of white paper and wrote with an ink pen: "Su Mu! Xu Mubai! Come on! We believe in you! and put it on a cheering sign. Then while waving the sign, he shouted at the players' seat: "Su Mu! Xu Mubai! Come on! ……”。 Yuxin and Xiaoya saw it and shouted with her.
When Su Mu and Xu Mubai heard the shout, they immediately turned their heads to look over here. As soon as the two of them saw their shouting and cheering figures, their hearts couldn't help but heat up, and a nervous heart suddenly calmed down a lot.
"Dude! It's time to put on a show of real technology! Xu Mubai stretched out his hand and said half-jokingly.
"Hmm!" Su Mu also stretched out his hand and shook it with him, but his tone was unusually firm.
After the start of the second round, Su Mu and his team were unusually stable and behaved unusually steadily. If you are right, you will not let go of any of them; No, I racked my brains. At the end of this round, their results were in the top 10 all of a sudden.
There is a 5-minute break before the final round begins. I don't know what medicine they took this round, and they played at a super level throughout the whole process. Looking at their straight up results, the audience couldn't help but cast curious eyes.
"When! ……”
When the last point prompt sounded, Su Mu's score just stopped at sixth, and the difference between them and seventh place was only one point, which was really dangerous!
When Yuxin and the others saw this achievement, they were immediately overjoyed and hugged each other, jumping and jumping,......
At the end of the game, when the prizes were awarded, the host asked Duoduo, who ran up to receive the award, and said, "Little sister!" What do you think? ”
Duoduo tilted his head and thought for a while, grinning: "Actually, after the first round, I don't have much hope. It's just that I didn't expect my teammates to be so powerful in the back and really get me an award. I'm really happy! Very happy! ……”
The host also laughed, and she asked tentatively: "It's rare to be so happy, why don't you give us a show?" ”
"Hmmm! Yes! Duoduo is also a cheerful girl, adjusted the TVMS veneer guitar she just got, and played it by herself, humming Deng Ziqi's song "Like You" while playing
Drizzle with wind and damp streets at dusk
Wipe away the rain and look up for no reason
Look at the lonely evening light
It's that sad memory......
……
With the melodious sound of the guitar and the crisp and beautiful singing, like the wind chimes fluttering in the afternoon, gently spread across the audience......
When Yuxin inadvertently turned her head, she saw Xu Mubai's shining eyes, reflecting ...... It's all beautiful figures......
