“Brother Lan, I’m dying of laughter… They actually voted for themselves for the sake of making themselves look better. If it’s really for the sake of winning the house or for the sake of money, they should choose someone reliable. What difference is there between 32 and 35 people? They’re really short-sighted.”
Lan Xiao had the same thought when he heard that. He looked at the people who voted for him on the big screen. There were already hundreds of thousands of people. Compared to them, 30-something people were nothing much to talk about.
His heart was instantly filled with a sense of satisfaction, and the unhappiness from before gradually dissipated.
Then, the head of the organizers started to talk about something more serious, which was the rules of the competition.
The second round was still a race to answer the questions. This part remained the same.
In the first round, there was an additional question that was compulsory for everyone to answer. The compulsory question was divided into three stars, five stars, and eight stars to differentiate the levels. Each team could choose the type of question, while the stars correspond to the difficulty level. If a team answered the question correctly, they could obtain points according to the corresponding stars. But there was an extremely risky rule. If one answered incorrectly, their points would be deducted.
In other words, if a team answered wrongly, then in the next round, they had to make up for the points they previously lost!
This rule was tough for the participating students, but for the audience, it was very interesting.
[Look, there are so many sponsors this year… The parents of these heirs are really good at calculating.]
[I think it’s pretty good. Usually, we spend money while their families earn money. Now, we can have fun watching them go against each other.]
Compared to the excitement of the audience, the students were under high pressure as they discussed their choices with their teams.
In the end, most teams chose the five-star question. Of course, there were also those that chose the three-star question. That was because they were not confident in themselves. As for those who chose the eight-star question, there were none at the moment.
There were not many questions that could be answered, and they might not be able to get them every round.
If a team chose an eight-star question and made a mistake, they would be 13 points behind other teams who chose the five-star question. This meant that in the next round, they would have to get 13 correct answers to catch up. This was too risky. It was not worth it.
Han Jingyu stared straight at Sheng Yang. He had a feeling…
As expected…
“Eight stars,” Sheng Yang said. She was the first student to choose the eight-star question.
There were only two possibilities.
It was either she wouldn’t know the question or she did. If it was the latter, she wouldn’t get the answer wrong.
Only essays with such subjective bias would cause her to lose points.
Gong Sheng was the first to applaud. This was no joking matter! This was his sister-in-law!
Everyone did not know what was going on, but when they saw the young master of the Gong family clapping, they hurriedly followed suit.
It was naturally impossible for Lan Xiao and his lackeys to applaud. Lan Xiao stood up straight and looked coldly at Sheng Yang’s boundless glory.
This girl was indeed wild and arrogant, but the more she smiled, the more she would cry later on.
The organizers liked Sheng Yang because they didn’t know how the contestants would choose. The most important thing was to create hype.
However, they still confirmed Sheng Yang’s decision, which led to more hot news.
#The eldest daughter of the Sheng family in Yan City, the newcomer is fearless# suddenly shot up to the top ten trending searches. Even though Sheng Tingze was focused on his work, he still caught a glimpse of the actual battle situation.
He was very gratified by this.
Regardless of the outcome, the Sheng family would not lose.
Then, he looked at the data on the big screen. There were only about 30 people who had chosen his sister. He suddenly touched his chin and fell into a deep silence.
