Lin Zhenhui felt as if he was suffocating. Not a single word could come out of his mouth.
From where the spectators were sitting, Wu Jiazhen started to make a fuss. “Fast! You can do the same. It's not like people say that you can't.”
Lin Zhenhui could only successfully strangle HMPH.
He reluctantly told Tan Mo to answer the question.
He wanted to see if Tan Mo could really answer the next question accurately.
“If you really have the ability and skill to maintain this, do it,” said Lin Zhenhui reluctantly.
Then the host asked Tan Mo to answer that question.
“Option A.”
“True!”
Lin Zhenhui was stunned.
He would never have thought that Tan Mo could really get the right answer.
He was very curious to see if he could continue answering the rest of the questions properly.
Deeply in disbelief, Tan Mo was able to do this until the final question of the round. He had pressed the bell as fast as possible for all ten questions.
Lin Zhenhui had never felt so aggrieved in a competition.
In previous competitions, people would only start the race for the buzzer after reading the question and digesting it properly.
Only then would one be able to accurately assess their answers.
When someone knows the answer, then they will be able to compete for the buzzer.
If no one could answer the question, they would all stand glued to the spot in an attempt to consider other solutions and bet on whether or not they should hit the bell.
If the bet is successful, then points will be added. If not, the points will be reduced.
No one had ever come across a case and situation like this with Tan Mo.
Even without reading the question, he would have already pressed the bell.
It's not like they don't want to compete for the buzzer. But they haven't even read the question, so they're not sure if they know the answer or not.
If they hurriedly pressed the bell and ended up losing points, it would only result in a loss that was far greater than its gain. It would be better not to compete for the buzzer. At least the points will not be reduced.
Of course, these tactical disagreements are useless at this stage.
Because Tan Mo won the competition for the buzzer at all times, and he could do it even without reading the questions.
He immediately did as well, just as the question appeared on the screen. Not only that, he answered every question correctly.
As of now, none of the other five teams had obtained a single point.
Only one in six players can win an arena contest match.
Their chances of losing are very high.
So, even if you lose, it is not a bad defeat. However, if you don't even manage to reach a single point, it will be hard to be accepted by the team.
That was the last question of this round.
Lin Zhenhui, who had not even answered a single question, slowly shattered into pieces.
He didn't even want to see that question. He was desperate enough to just press the bell to at least try and answer it.
Nothing else matters. He should have won at least one point.
No matter what, he could not come out with zero.
But what if he doesn't know how to answer the last question?
In every round of the competition, everyone knew there was one single rule: questions increased in difficulty, so each one was more difficult than the previous one.
Now that's the last question, so of course it's the hardest.
She was scared. If he answered wrongly, he would lose points. He will get a negative score.
Question ten will be displayed on the screen immediately.
Countdown begins:
Three!
Two!
One!
THE CLANG!
Lin Zhenhui could not understand why there was suddenly a terrifying silence that swept through the entire room.
And, a second later, the crowd exploded into a loud applause.
“Lin Zhenhui! Lin Zhenhui!”
Lin Zhenhui stood there foolishly.
The students from Tsinghua University all shouted his name.
“Tsinghua University, please give us your response.” The host pushed him.
Lin Zhenhui looked around. Clangs! it was his own act.
Didn't he just hesitate?
When did he push her?
He pushed her at the last moment, confused.
Lin Zhenhui turned to look at Tan Mo.
Why didn't Tan Mo press the bell?
He should have pushed her faster than I did.
Didn't he always press the bell without glancing at his question?
Seeing her looking at him, Tan Mo put on an innocent expression and looked into her eyes. “Senior Lin, it's your turn to answer that question.”
Lin Zhenhui inevitably asked, “Why don't you press the bell?”
Tan Mo blinked. “I never compete for it against you, right?”
What's the point of asking such a simple question?
Of course, he had deliberately taken a step back.
Seeing his expression that was in pain and struggling now, he thought that maybe he should give Lin Zhenhui a chance.
It would mean if someone came all the way here for a competition, just to not answer a single question, right?
Whether he can answer it or not is up to him.
He had already answered the first nine questions correctly, so even if Lin Zhenhui answered the latter correctly, it would have no impact on his appearance.
He thought of this as an easy matter for Lin Zhenhui.
That's how generous he is.
The audience laughed out loud at the stupidity of his question.
Lin Zhenhui started to blush as his brain started to buzz.
“Tsinghua University, please make good use of your time. If you do not answer before ten seconds, you will be considered wrong answer the question,” the host reminded him.
“Senior Lin, just answer quickly.” Don't keep focusing on the situation about Tan Mo and the buzzer.
Lin Zhenhui gathered his thoughts and emotions to answer that question. But with one sentence from the girl, her emotions started to stir again.
He began to suspect that Tan Mo was deliberately not fighting for the bell because he wanted to humiliate him.
But he can't worry about that now. He saw the options on the big screen.
The host has already started counting down. “Eight...seven..six...”.
He doesn't know how to answer this question.
Mind empty. His mind raced faster and faster when he realized this, but he was unable to find any clues in the options at all.
He was initially able to find a clue or two to guide him in choosing the choice with a clear mind, but in his current mental state, he was panicking to the point that sweat started dripping down his face.
He could hear the host counting down …
There seemed to be a hiss coming from the crowd as well, but he wasn't sure if he heard it properly.
Just as the host was about to shout “one”, Lin Zhenhui gambled. There's a 25 percent chance that he'll be right.
In the last second, Lin Zhenhui shouted, “B! I chose option B!”
“The answer is ...” the host dragged him out, “wrong!”
The screen flashes when the correct answer is displayed.
That's option D.
Lin Zhenhui's face turned pale and he lost all expression.
Not only did he fail to answer one question correctly, he even got a score - one.
He wasn't even as good as the other four schools left.
Now, in the first round, the mighty Tsinghua, who should have been crowned champions this year, turned out to be in last place.
“You deliberately did not compete for the bell on the last question!” Lin Zhenhui angrily turned his head as he shouted at Tan Mo.
The other four competitors were happy. Although they had received zero points, Tsinghua had done worse and ended up with a negative score.
Everyone has tried their best to reach first place in this year's competition.
But if it fails, if they can see the almighty Tsinghua falling from grace, not achieving the championship becomes more acceptable.
Tsinghua lost face!
During the previous years, they had to face the arrogant and arrogant looks of the people from Tsinghua, who treated all the other teams as if they were unworthy opponents.
Compared to getting first place, they hated the people of Tsinghua more.
Despite not saying anything, the crowd thought that Lin Zhenhui had lost his senses and composure by now.
And he blamed everything on Tan Mo because he wasn't competing for the bell?
It's not only being arrogant, it's also being a sore loser.
