Chapter 168: The New Rules

“After this, will our school's Chinese Language Department really get the top position in the university rankings?” someone asked excitedly.

“Alright, we'll talk about this next time.” It's not appropriate to talk about things that haven't happened, especially in front of outsiders. “However, we will come first this time.”

“The seniors are trying hard to arrange all the questions, you guys should perform well.” Senior Lin was even more conspicuous than Senior Zhang.

“Tsinghua University has won first place over the past few years. You can't break the record this year.”

“Do not worry.”

Everyone on the Tsinghua team chimed in. It seems that no one considers Beijing University a real competitor.

They have even added a child to their team. Does the Beijing University team even have hope?

At this time, staff members came to tell Tsinghua's team to begin preparing for their entrance.

Not long after, they heard the host announce, “Let's invite the defending champions, the team from Tsinghua University!”

Even before the Tsinghua University team came in, applause echoed throughout the stadium.

Team member Tsinghua smirked. Their faces were filled with an unquenchable pride as they stepped forward.

Ying Siyuan shouted out with all her might, “We will win!”

A member of Tsinghua's team turned to Senior Lin. “This year, the Beijing team should be under a lot of pressure. Does this affect their sense of rationality?”

The Beijing team heard this.

Teacher Lao's face was getting darker.

However, the team members standing behind him didn't seem to take the heart of those words.

They had learned this from Tan Mo.

Wolves wearing sheep clothes.

Please and underestimate us.

In a moment, we'll make you cry.

Ying Siyuan asked everyone innocently, “I told you the truth. Why don't they trust me?”

“Because they are stupid.” Tan Mo smiled with an innocent smile.

Each person: “...”

They could no longer look at Tan Mo in the same way.

They had discovered that this little girl was actually quite naughty.

Two or three more minutes passed. Then they heard the host announce, “Let's welcome Beijing University, the team that finished second last year.”

Shen Hongshan thought it was ridiculous. “They don't need to announce that we are second.”

He suspected that the host had deliberately said it like this.

Master Lao solemnly led everyone onto the stage.

The students from Tsinghua University were still quite polite.

The stands in the stadium were filled with people. The majority of the audience came from Tsinghua University, while the minority were students from Beijing University.

The remaining four universities are not located in B City. Therefore, none of their students managed to get here.

They all saw the event through the school's online live streaming platform.

After the remaining four teams entered, they lined up according to the results of the previous year's competition.

“This year's competition rules are slightly different from previous years,” the host announced.

“In previous years, the contestants could be replaced every round. Representatives sent forward can be selected by the.” team

The team from Shuang University stood next to the Beijing team.

They hear the team leader talking to his team members. “If that was the case, it would be a little more flexible. We've never really faced an all-round competitor before.”

Since there is so much to learn, everyone will definitely put more emphasis on a particular topic.

Even if they wanted to learn everything, they would not be able to achieve it.

There really isn't enough time.

So most of them will definitely focus on one topic.

“Therefore, we will measure the general direction to which the competition direction and choose the most appropriate representatives based on their skill level,” team leader from Shuang University explained.

“In this way, even if we face opponents who are experts in the topic at hand, our own team members will also have a chance to win.”

When the team leader of Shuang University said this, they heard the host say, “This year, the competition format will be changed to knock-out style."

“That means each team will send one member. During the round, the contestant with the highest points will advance to the next round, while the other teams will have to swap. Each round will continue in this way. Once the team has no more players left, and after the team has no more representatives to swap to the next round, they will be eliminated. They will not be able to get points in the next round,” explained the hosts.

Everyone, including the contestants, guests, and spectators, gasped.

“Format this competition is quite cruel.”

“Indeed. This time, there will definitely be at least one team member who needs to compete in a round they are not good at.”

“Why? If they lose in the first round, they can trade members who they know will probably benefit in the next round.”

“But what if they win the first round? The winning contestant must advance to the second round. But if the second round was based on a topic they did not know about, then their defeat was certain. Naturally, they would be able to swap with other players who had better chances in the third round. If that contestant wins again, they might find another foreign topic in the fourth round. That's why I said that at least one player should play in a round they don't know. We might not even be able to hold on well.”

“Eh? The hosts mentioned that there was a possibility that one of our teams did not have enough players to advance to the next round. But even if we lose every round, there are still enough members to compete.”

Not long after, they heard the announcement of the host, “Furthermore, I will explain the second change we made. The previous competition always consisted of ten rounds. Although the rules do not stipulate that a new contestant must appear each round, each team usually chooses to send a different representative.

“But this year, due to changes in the competition format, we specifically added one more round. Now there will be 11 rounds instead of ten.” The hosts continued, “If a team loses in each round, then they will no longer have players to play in the final round.

The host smiled slightly. “The likelihood of this happening is actually quite high.”

After all, only one person can win each round.

Everyone finally understood.

“Who decides the format of this competition?” The format of the competition has not changed for five consecutive years. However, such a major change has been instituted this year.

“May I invite all contestants to their seating area. The six teams would have ten minutes to choose their first representative. However, the remaining contestants will not be given any more time to determine his representative in the next round, the host” reminds them.

“All teachers must decide which students to send before the next round begins."

“In addition, since we have given ten minutes for everyone to determine their representative, we will not announce the topic for the first round. After the representatives gather on stage, we will display the overarching theme of the first half. However, since we will not give everyone time to choose their representatives for the next round, we will announce the theme first. The selection of team members can be done according to that."

“Competition this year should be quite fun.” On the stage, there were some students who were not bothered by this. They were quite happy to observe the reactions of the other students.

All the teachers in charge led the students from their respective teams towards the competitors seats.

The seating arrangements of the competitors are located quite close to each other.

It would be very easy to communicate and interact with each other if they wanted to.
