Bai Youwei can’t help but think of a game, The Legend of Zelda, where each time a character gains an extra life, a heart appears for them too.
This really is a game, huh…
Inspector: “Question 2…”
Everyone’s nerves tense in an instant!
Some people’s hands are already poised over the buzzer, ready to press it at any moment!
If the first question was a probe, then the second question undoubtedly marks the beginning of the competition!
Each heart represents a life!
Inspector: “What is the organ with the highest percentage of water content in the human body?”
Everyone is taken aback.
Bai Youwei quickly hits the buzzer!
“Player No. 36, please answer.”
Bai Youwei frowned, looked up and saw Li Li waving at her from across the room.
She didn’t manage to buzz in time.
Li Li waved and laughed. “Sorry, Yan bro~”
Yan Qingwen gives a faint smile, without a word.
Even if she is an ally, there’s no room to give way at this point.
Li Li answers: “The eyeball.”
“Correct answer, accumulating 1 point.” declared the Inspector.
A luminous pink heart appears in front of Li Li, it’s very eye-catching and beautiful.
Grumbles rise and fall around the room.
“Damn! It’s the eyeball…”
“The question is so hard…”
“What’s so hard? The first question was about Earth’s rotation, even elementary school students know that!”
“If you’re so smart why don’t you buzz in the next question?!”
“Everyone, shut up! How can we answer the questions if we can’t hear them?!”
The crowd is in chaos.
The Inspector remains indifferent, sitting calmly where he is, reading out the third question:
“Question 3, how many pieces are there in a game of Go?”
Inspector: “Player No. 4, please answer.”
Bai Youwei lets out a breath. It was really not easy, she finally managed to buzz a question.
“361 pieces.” She answers.
“Correct answer, accumulating 1 point.” replied the Inspector.
A small heart appears on Bai Youwei’s chest.
She extends her hand to touch it, her fingers slip through the luminescent figure without touching anything, it feels quite strange.
The Inspector continues, “Question 4, do fish have hearts? ”
“Player No. 8, please answer.”
“Correct answer, accumulating 1 point.”
“Question 5, in what season does a mirage usually occur?”
“Player No. 1, please answer.”
“Correct answer, accumulating 1 point.”
The Inspector continues to ask questions, and people continue to buzz in.
Order gradually gives way to chaos, with dozens of people fighting to buzz in instead of just a few at first.
Especially after someone answered a question incorrectly, people realized there was no punishment for wrong answers and just started buzzing in like crazy!
Even if they don’t know the answer, at least they can prevent the smart ones from gaining more “hearts”!
“Question 35, what is the longest living mammal?”
— Beep! Beep, Beep, Beep…
The sounds of chaotic beeping are incessant!
“Player No. 21, please answer.”
The player who is selected hesitates, and stammers, “I… I don’t know!”
Inspector: “Incorrect answer, no points accumulated. Question 36, which river is the longest in the world?”
— Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep!!!
The sound is even more frantic and disordered!
“Player No. 10, please answer.”
Player No. 10 is Brother Fei. He grabbed the buzzer haphazardly. Being called out makes him a bit anxious. Someone in the field whispers something about the Nile. He hesitates and replies, “The… Nile River?”
Inspector: “Correct answer, accumulating 1 point.”
He actually guessed right!
A look of joy spreads across Brother Fei’s face.
At this point, all 36 questions have been answered.
The grey-robed old man stands up, his long robe drags on the ground. His figure is both tall and withered, giving off an indescribable sense of strangeness.
He says, “The points have been accumulated, next is the second round of mandatory questions. The rules are different. I will ex-plain the de-tails for you all!”
He speaks the last sentence especially slowly and emphatically.
