Chapter 174: Targeting You Specifically

It turned out that the total was only about ten seconds since Tan Mo answered that question and when the host confirmed the answer.

If they added the countdown time, then it would be a total of 20 seconds.

So, a clang would be heard every 20 seconds, it could be said.

Not only did the heads of the competitors start to buzz, the people in the crowd also started to sense it.

What's TICKING!

They could not even pronounce the more difficult words correctly anymore.

Other than Beijing University, the other four universities were all zero at this point.

But Tsinghua is different.

They're in minus one.

Professor Liu laughed coldly. “My old friend, you really have some tricks, don't you?”

Professor Gu was no longer his old and outspoken self.

“Don't you say that Tan Mo won't be able to handle this round as well?” Professor Liu asked coldly.

“Hee, hee, hee, hee.” Professor Gu was now relaxed, and he felt much fresher. “That's my impression of him. Who knows? Maybe he worked hard and honed his skills and increased his knowledge of content. I was also surprised!”

Zhao Xiaoou had turned white. She almost cried.

He bit his lips hard.

All his hard work and efforts in the past few months have been in vain.

He felt as if he had read all those books at no cost.

Tan Mo is too insulting.

Zhao Xiaoou did not even have the chance to fight for the bell.

Tan Mo did not even look at the question before pressing the bell.

Is he really confident in his knowledge?

They finally came to the last question. Zhao Xiaoou could only push his hand under the table.

Now he knew how Lin Zhenhui felt.

The last question arises.

If he wanted to fight for the buzzer, he could only follow what Tan Mo did and fight for it without seeing any questions at all.

Not only that, he also had to be faster than her.

That's gonna be hard.

Moreover, if he was right, he would earn points. If not, one point will be deducted.

If he couldn't see the question, how would he know if he could answer the question?

Wouldn't this be a gamble?

Zhao Xiaoou had not even finished her thought process before the countdown ended.

As the numbers disappeared from the screen, the tenth question appeared on the screen.

The crowd was already used to CLANG! the Tan Mo.

And, all of a sudden, it's not audible.

The audience, competitors, teachers, and six professors all looked at Tan Mo.

Why don't you push the bell?

Tan Mo looks down at his desk. No one was sure exactly what he was investigating.

Did he think about whether he should press the bell or not?

He's been pressing all the bells in the last two rounds. What's there to think about?

Oh, wait a minute, one day Lin Zhenhui pressed the bell.

Don't mention it.

Everyone had one thought at the time. Are you going to push the bell?

Tan Mo seemed to capture the tense atmosphere of the silent crowd.

He raised his head and looked at all the other competitors from left to right.

“Will no one press the bell?” she asked.

The crowd waited with bated breath.

What's on earth?

Are you waiting for someone else to press the bell?

We're waiting for you to push him.

Tan Mo pointed at the screen. “There is still time. You can read the questions before competing to get bel.”

The crowd remained silent.

Tan Mo was worried that no one would take him seriously, so he placed his hands behind his back.

Now the bell was far from his reach.

Crowd dumbfounded.

Oh God, how arrogant are you?

Everyone breathed uncontrollably.

He's this searogan.

He answered all 18 questions correctly. Whether he answered this one or not, it was not a problem for him.

However, some people suspected that perhaps he did not know the answer to this question.

Maybe this is why he didn't fight for the bell.

Zhao Xiaoou thought about this precisely.

Tan Mo did not know the answer to this question and was worried about losing face. Therefore, he did not fight for the bell. Instead, he acted as if he was being nice about it.

“She definitely doesn't know the answer to this question.” From the competitor stand, Huang Mingshun boldly stated. He was the arrogant child from before.

“That's what I was thinking too. The final question for each round is the hardest. Very few competitors in recent years can answer it correctly,” said another competitor coldly.

“As senior Zhao has collected in his information sheet, the chances of you getting the tenth question in each round correctly is only 10 percent.”

Tai the dog pouted. “If Tan Mo really wanted to give others a chance, why didn't he just do it in the first question? Why hand it over to the latter?”

“Fright!” Lin Zhenhui clasped a straw as he shouted. Answering the wrong last question is not at all embarrassing.

“Tan Mo himself didn't know the answer and would be embarrassed if he couldn't answer it properly, so he decided not to fight for the buzzer. He even wants everyone to think that he is very confident.” Lin Zhenhui snorted.

“Senior Lin has made a mistake by Tan Mo.” Huang Mingshun was furious.

Zhao Xiaoou did not want to think or talk about the situation around Tan Mo.

If he was not going to fight for it, then he would take the opportunity to read his question.

This was the only question he had time to read.

Tan Mo was able to answer each question very quickly and move on to the next question. When Tan Mo finished replying, Zhao Xiaoou had not even digested the contents of the question well.

That's a sad feeling!

But now, after reading through his question, Zhao Xiaoou realized that she could not answer him because she did not know which answer was correct.

There's too much text.

He hasn't read this one at all.

He didn't even know where the question came from.

His mouth started to dry, and even his breathing started to get difficult.

His hand was right above the bell, but he could not suppress it.

He looked at the four remaining contestants.

They all had tense expressions and looked grim.

It seemed like they were all considering their options and chances of getting the correct answer if they pressed the bell.

“There are still 30 seconds left. If no one decides to answer, this round will end with the last question ruled out, the host” reminds everyone.

Sounds erupted from the audience.

No one can decide on an answer. Now it is even more difficult to concentrate with additional sounds in the background.

“Zhao Senior, will you try?” Tan Mo turned to look at her.

“…”

Zhao Xiaoou pursed her lips and briefly replied, “Why didn't you ask another competitor?”

Tan Mo just smiled sweetly at her. “Others never looked down on us from Beijing University.”

Zhao Xiaoou did not say anything about it.

Many people also do not.

Cruel!

That's too cruel!

Tan Mo explicitly said that it was true, I targeted you guys from Tsinghua specifically.

Who asked you to be so flamboyant and arrogant even before the competition started?

Tan Mo just wanted to prove to everyone how much they blew their own trumpets before.

Now it's his turn to be arrogant and show off during the competition itself.

Targeting you intentionally is the main goal. Now I'm pressing you as much as I can.

No one would dispute what Tan Mo did.

Who told the people from Tsinghua to look down on Beijing?
