Chapter 170: The Sentence He Wants Everyone to Hear

“Who said we will lose the competition?”

Professor Gu looked at Professor Liu firmly. “If there is, make sure you are not too upset if you lose.because you have been so arrogant and so on.”.

All the professors sitting in the esteemed visitor area sighed to themselves. Based on the current situation, it was likely that Tsinghua would claim victory again.

It looks like Beijing University will not be able to claim the title of champion within the Chinese Ministry.

If these four other professors did not believe in Professor Gu, so did Professor Liu.

In his opinion, Professor Gu was just gripping a straw.

As long as the competition had not officially ended, he would not admit defeat.

“Hee, hee, hee.”

Professor Liu laughed as he sipped his tea. “My old friend, it's been a long time! You haven't changed at all, have you? You still like to save face like always.”

HM!

Professor Gu did not dare to say anything more. He was worried that he would slip and reveal something that he should not have done.

He only needed to wait for the competition to end to see Professor Liu's facial expression. That moment would be fantastic!

Master Lao, on the other hand, had a little trouble. He felt his stomach filled with gas. It was true that he did not know Tan Mo as well as Professor Gu.

However, because everyone believed in him so much, Master Lao buried his suspicions and doubts. He firmly said, “Tan Mo, you stand up.”

Tan Mo nodded and stood up. “Teacher Lao and fellow team members, rest assured that I will not leave the stage until the last round.”

“No, not the last round. With a total of ten team members, the competition would have to end in the tenth round if I did not withdraw. No need for the 11th round,” exclaimed Tan Mo confidently.

The competitors from Nan University sat beside them from Beijing University, while from Tsinghua University sat to their right.

Everyone saw Tan Mo walking towards the stage, and they felt more relaxed than before.

“It looks like they've decided to give up.”

“I mean, it was one way for them to end the competition.”

“Even if they give up, they should have sent a better competitor. Sending a beginner there is too embarrassing.”

“Senior Lin, don't be flabby!”

🍀

The six participants from six different teams took the stage and took their place in front of the podium.

Lin Zhenhui coincidentally stood right next to Tan Mo.

He laughed and said, “I haven't asked you, junior, what's your name?”

Tan Mo obediently replied, “Senior, this is Tan Mo.”

“Your team sent you as the first competitor here. Does this mean they have already decided to give up in the first round?” Lin Zhenhui was filled with confidence as he asked her this rude question.

The other four competitors all heard this and felt extremely uncomfortable.

These students from Tsinghua were sometimes too selfish.

Are they sure they will win?

Tan Mo nervously rubbed his hands together and said, “It's not like we're all very confident, so why not let me try my best? This is also my first competition, so I appreciate your guidance all this time.”

“What do you mean say that? It's a competition, there's no way I can help you. I, for example, will do my best to defeat you,” replied Lin Zhenhui briefly.

Tan Mo was afraid that the others could not catch his bragging words and asked him to repeat them. “Senior, what are you saying? I can't hear you clearly enough, speak.”

Maybe it was really due to Tan Mo's innocence, but Lin Zhenhui did raise his voice and yelled back at him, “I said, it's a competition, so of course I'll do my best.”

Tan Mo smiled like a cat swallowing a walnut.

That's the word I want everyone to hear!

After you lose, don't you dare say that you're being easy on me.

With such a loud volume, there was no guarantee that the entire audience had heard of it, but at least half of it would have heard of it.

“Please the competitors test their buzzer,” the host said.

The six competitors pressed their bells. No problem with them.

“Alright, please look at the big screen. After a ten second countdown, the first question would appear on the screen. Once the question is displayed, you will all be able to compete for the answer. As this is the new format of the competition, there will be no order in which the host will read out the question,” the host announced.

Then, with a DEET-DEET sound, a ten-second countdown appeared on the big screen.

The first question is written in a homogeneous script.

The crowd all sighed. “They couldn't be better about these questions, could they? I can't even decipher what this question asks.”

The people from Beijing University heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank God Tan Mo who has represented us since the beginning.”

It seemed like, other than Tan Mo, no one else on stage seemed to be very happy with the question.

That's too hard a question.

They can't even recognize all the characters on the screen.

It's ridiculous to assign such a difficult question to the first question in the entire competition.

Even the always confident Lin Zhenhui looked uneasy.

THE CLANG!

After only three seconds, when no one else had fully processed the question in its entirety, Tan Mo pressed the bell.

All eyes are on him now.

Lin Zhenhui looked at him suspiciously. This Tan Mo, did he really know the answer, or was he just gripping a straw?

“Tan Mo, let me remind you that you can't just press the bell randomly. If you can't answer a question, or answer it wrong, points will be deducted.” Lin Zhenhui could not help but say it.

He was worried that maybe Tan Mo did not understand the instructions and rules clearly.

There was no way he would have thought if he pressed the bell first, he would have taken the chance of another competitor to answer, right?

Even if he wanted to exploit the loophole, wouldn't he think of this at all? Didn't the jurors themselves have thought of this loophole as well and countered it?

How stupid!

“Beijing University, please answer,” says host.

Tan Mo ignored Lin Zhenhui and firmly replied, “A.” Option

“The answer is right!” The screen lit up as the host shouted it out.

“Please answer second question.” The host lowered his voice. Without a single shred of doubt, Clang again!

The crowd saw Tan Mo again.

“Option C.”

“True.” The host continued, “Third one ..”

The screen already showed the question before the host could even finish his sentence.

The crowd only had time to read the first character.

THE CLANG!

Lin Zhenhui started to get angry. “Tan Mo, have you finished reading the question?”

“No.” Tan Mo was very honest.

That really made him angry. “If you haven't finished reading the question, why are you in such a hurry to buzzer?”

“The rules never say that you should finish reading the question before hitting the bell. I pressed the bell and then read the question. As long as I answer within the given timeframe, then it's okay.”

He turned towards the host. “Am I wrong?”

The host fell silent and helplessly shook his head.

It was just like Tan Mo said. He didn't do anything wrong.

“You're very confident, aren't you? Are you sure you can answer that question when you haven't even read it?” Lin Zhenhui asked sinisterly to her.

But ironically, Tan Mo did not even recognize or care about his tone of voice. He just nodded and said, “Ya.”

Lin Zhenhui was shocked. He has nothing more to say.

Tan Mo's answer to what he said made the whole purpose of his question useless.

“If senior Lin thinks that all his chances have been taken by me, he can follow and do the same as me. After you press the bell, you can answer.” Tan Mo smiled innocently and he tilted his head.

Lin Zhenhui was speechless.

What kind of trick is this…?

If he could do this, he would have been centuries ago. Wasn't he confident enough to do it? But if he pressed the bell and got the wrong answer, the points would be deducted from his score.

It would be worse if he ended up losing points rather than getting them.
