"Damn, the way Lin Yan looks at Ye Xian—I'm shipping them again, what should I do? Ye Xian, this man is dangerously charming, why does he match with everyone so well? Can I still ship NP now?"
As Ye Xian adorned Lin Yan with a name tag, he passed by Chu Yao and heard him mutter that phrase.
The young man didn't get angry but smiled instead, removing his headset and glancing indifferently at the points on Chu Yao's chest, "Show-off? It takes certain qualifications, doesn't it? Not everyone gets that chance."
Chu Yao felt her mockery and his fiery gaze almost burned her to ashes.
Production team: "Alright, we are about to announce the last task for this episode. Since all the guests currently have the same score, this final task will be crucial in differentiating your points. Everyone, please give it your utmost attention and effort!"
"Top Flow Competition Task Four: Brain Power Battle!
This round includes four intellectual challenges:
First challenge (difficulty one star)—ancient and modern: questions on obscure ancient Chinese poems will be posed by the staff. Contestants must complete the following verses within five seconds or they fail.
Second challenge (difficulty two stars)—Memory Master: contestants must recite pi to thirty decimal places within ten minutes. A single mistake means failure.
Third challenge (difficulty three stars)—Eyes of Golden Flame: within ten minutes, contestants need to find six differences in two jigsaw puzzles each made up of nearly three thousand pieces. Incorrect identification of one set means failure.
Fourth challenge (difficulty four stars)—blind Rubik's Cube: the staff will scramble a set of Rubik's Cubes (two cubes in total), and contestants must restore them while blindfolded. Restoring one cube counts as completing the task, restoring both earns an additional point!"
As the staff read out the game rules, the screen was flooded with exclamations of surprise.
It's the same old drill with the same old formula—the production team is ruthless!
These questions, this difficulty, who ordinary could take on these challenges?
Director: "The final task consists of four challenges. Contestants can start from the easier challenges, earning a point for each completed challenge, proceeding to the next until they fail! The two contestants with the lowest total points at the end will be eliminated!"
Naturally, these challenges are hard for ordinary people, but becoming a top influencer isn't just about luck; they excel in various ways too.
For example, Chu Yao—full scholarship graduate from the University of Hong Kong, Xiao Yixuan—top of his class at Shanghai Drama Academy in 2014, Cary—Columbia, Lin Yan—outstanding scholarship student at Cambridge, Jiang Wanze—top domestic university's recent graduate.
Each of them possesses an IQ well above the average person!
Thinking this, the director glanced at Ye Xian... Sometimes, academic qualifications don't necessarily reflect one's IQ, right?
Once the rules were announced, several guests were rubbing their hands together, eager to try, as if the challenging tasks were like a feast to them.
Chu Yao carefully looked at the questions, estimating whether he could make it to the second or third challenge, when he heard Jiang Wanze asking the production team about the order and Cary whispering in Ye Xian's ear.
"See? Being in the same group as me has its perks now, huh? Say 'Master C', and this IQ 200 genius will take you flying!"
"Are you sure it's an IQ of 200, not a 'Master Lu Ban', mentally 250?" The most update n0vels are published on NoveI~Fire.net
"Ah, shut up! You're just a high school student, and you want to mock me?"
As Chu Yao turned his head, he saw Ye Xian with his arms crossed, staring blankly at the questions, the corner of his mouth curling up in a sneering smile, "Let's start with Ye Xian's group then, to prevent... others from finishing the questions before he even dares to start."
