The results of the individual competition will not be announced on the spot, so when the time comes to hand in your paper, you can come out and go back to rest.

There was a surprise at dinner.

Teacher Zhou and two female comrades who accompanied her cooked a meal for everyone.

He cooked rice, fried a few dishes, and added some noodles. After a long time, Teacher Zhou made a big pot of noodle dumpling soup.

There is a dish of stir-fried pork belly with dried radish, which looks and smells amazing.

It turned out that not only Wang Zhaozhao and his friends brought dried radishes from the chef before leaving, but Teacher Zhou and his friends also brought some.

Wang Zhaozhao ate three bowls of rice with the salty, spicy and fragrant fried pork belly with dried radish.

Xu Yanni was not to be outdone, and Chen Pei was not far behind.

The meal was so delicious.

"It has to be rice." After dinner, Xu Yanni slumped on the sofa and patted her round belly.

"As long as I cook some rice, I can eat dried radish and white rice for a whole week." Wang Zhaozhao also sat down, patting his stomach. "However, if it's the late rice from our Lu Province, it will be even more delicious."

"Sister Zhao, you're still too polite, right? The rice for dinner must be the most delicious if it's grown in our Lu Province, Lianshan City, Zhushan County, Daling Commune, and Hebian Village Production Team, right?!" Chen Pei, who was sitting slumped in the same position, tilted his head and looked at Wang Zhaozhao.

"Uh, that's a bit too much." Wang Zhaozhao smacked his lips. "But if it's possible, that would be the best."

“…”

Chen Pei was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter. Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni also laughed.

It must be said that others really don't understand why they are laughing so happily.

"Speaking of food, there's something I suddenly want to eat." After laughing, Xu Yanni suddenly licked her lips and said.

Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni looked at each other. We know how to do this. "Don't tell me. Let's guess what you want to eat the most."

Xu Yanni immediately became excited, sat up straight, and crossed her legs. "Okay, guess what I want to eat the most right now?"

“Claypot rice!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Zhaozhao and Chen Pei shouted out in unison.

Then Wang Zhaozhao added, "The clay pot rice at the place on Zhushan County Street."

"You guessed it right! I'll treat you to that clay pot rice restaurant when we get back."

Wang Zhaozhao raised his hand. "Can I order two?"

"No, you can only order one per person."

"But I have two kinds of food I want to eat."

"You and Sister Pei can order two kinds."

"Sister Pei has two kinds she wants to eat."

"Then you and I..."

"You also have two kinds you want to eat."

“…”

The three of them chatted nonsense like this, which worked wonders, and gradually they recovered their health, and unknowingly put away their bad posture.

Xu Renjie took the opportunity to call out to them, "Three sisters, do you want to compare answers?"

“…”

Wang Zhaozhao and the others all had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

One in the morning and one in the afternoon, isn't that enough? Why not skip the evening?

"My brain went dry in the afternoon." Chen Pei.

"My brain has run away from home." Xu Yanni.

"My brain is shutting down and needs a new one." Wang Zhaozhao.

I believe in your ghosts!

Xu Renjie rolled his eyes, Wang Zhaozhao and the others chuckled and went straight back to their rooms.

You guys go ahead and do what you want. The three of us will temporarily leave the group and run away.

The next morning.

After reading the novel for a while, Wang Zhaozhao suddenly looked up and asked Xu Yanni, "Are you still writing your horror novel? How's the progress recently?"

"I write when I have time. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Xu Yanni, who was writing and drawing in a thick notebook, looked up at her.

"Last night I had a dream that was somewhat similar to the setting of your novel: a group of people were chasing me with knives, and I couldn't run away, so I had no choice but to fight them. As I fought, I found that every person I killed turned into an equation."

"Puff! Hahahaha..."

After hearing what Wang Zhaozhao said, Xu Yanni burst into laughter.

He squeezed over and stared at Wang Zhaozhao, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Classmate Wang Zhaozhao, I never thought that you would end up like this."

“……!”

Wang Zhaozhao shrugged.

When it was time for breakfast, Xu Yanni excitedly shared this "good news" with Chen Pei and the others.

Wang Zhaozhao: As the saying goes, karma goes around in circles, and who can escape the fate of heaven?!

She didn't feel wronged and accepted everyone's "concern" calmly.

After a hearty meal and a night's rest last night, all the contestants were full of energy and returned to the competition.

There were some adjustments in the infield, after all, there were 11 fewer teams at once.

The show started with the players from each team coming out to show their talents, circling the stage, and then going into their respective viewing areas.

Wang Zhaozhao and his friends discovered that the audience seats were more full than yesterday.

When the two hosts, a man and a woman, came on stage, they did not rush to announce the rules of today's competition. Instead, they announced the results of the individual competition completed yesterday afternoon.

The ranking only reflects the top 100, that is, the results of the remaining 170 people are not ranked.

In other words, the 170 people stopped here and did not need to continue with the subsequent exams, and the host only announced the top 20.

The overall situation of Wang Zhaozhao's team is pretty good, and no one is among those 170 people.

Mai Yibai ranked 67th, Xu Lei 55th, Zhou Xiaojun was at the bottom at 99th, Chen Pei was 23rd, Chu Changying was stuck at 21st, and the rest were on the list read out by the host.

No one made the top five.

"This is only the first match. The host said yesterday morning that the first team match was a warm-up, and the same is true for the individual matches in the afternoon.

Therefore, the result of this first game does not mean anything.

We have to wait until this afternoon to take another test and see the results tomorrow morning. Maybe there will be a major reshuffle, with a dark horse emerging. "Teacher Chen gave a steady analysis.

Of course, he didn't ask Wang Zhaozhao and the others whether they responded to Xu Renjie's call and didn't rush forward too aggressively.

But if he asked, Wang Zhaozhao's answer would disappoint him: not.

In that situation, how could I have the mind to think about anything else?

Well, it’s a good thing he didn’t ask, otherwise it might be a little dangerous since he doesn’t have very thick hair.

Before ending the segment, the host said, "Everyone's results can be viewed in the lobby over there for the individual competition."

"Okay! Now let's get down to business."

"Today is the 16-to-9 tournament, and seven teams will be eliminated."

"In this competition, anyone on the team can answer a question, but if you answer incorrectly, you will be passed. You cannot answer a question twice."

"Each question has a time limit marked on it, and exceeding the time limit will be counted as an error."

"Before answering the questions, teammates can communicate with each other. After starting to answer the questions, teammates can no longer give prompts."
