The day after the final exam, Qiao Chu arrived in Nanjing. The production team of "The Brain" made very good arrangements and their management of time was seamless. Qiao Chu's participation in the program did not delay her at all.

She and other contestants were arranged to stay in a hotel next to the TV station, which has a quiet environment, strict security, high-end decoration, complete facilities, and is very comfortable to live in.

There are a total of 25 contestants this time, including Qiao Chu. They are all geniuses among geniuses and elites among elites. They were selected by the program team from among the many top students across the country after inquiring everywhere and considering many aspects. Each of them is enough to shock the audience.

Qiao Chu was a little nervous, but more excited. At her level, it was a happy thing to meet an opponent of equal strength.

The recording of the show hasn't started yet, so she still has to stay in the hotel for two or three days, waiting for the final preparations for the show. Also, several contestants will arrive here later.

Eventually, the show was scheduled to start recording three days later.

During the three days of waiting, Qiao Chu was not idle. She stayed in the system every day to study frantically and participate in various competitions, hoping to make a final improvement for herself. Except for meal times, she hardly ever went out. In the eyes of other contestants, she was a loner who was difficult to get along with. Although they were amazed by her appearance, they did not dare to approach her easily. Sometimes they got together to chat or go out to eat, but they never invited Qiao Chu.

This situation continued until the day before the show was recorded.

That day, as soon as Qiao Chu arrived at the restaurant, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Is it you?"

A surprised voice suddenly sounded.

Qiao Chu was about to order food when she was suddenly stopped by someone. She looked up and saw that the person who was blocking her way was a gentle and handsome man. She had seen this handsome man before. He was the boy sitting in the front seat who had borrowed a pen from her in Jing City before. She remembered his name was Chen Ziang.

She was very surprised and asked in astonishment: "It's you! What a coincidence?"

Chen Ziang was also surprised. He didn't expect to run into Qiao Chu here. However, for him to appear here at this time, it should be...

He asked Qiao Chu: "Are you here to participate in 'Super Brain' as well?"

Qiao Chu nodded and asked, "You too?"

"Yes, what a coincidence. I had something to do a few days ago and just arrived last night. I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here. Thank you so much for lending me your pen last time. I wanted to return the pen to you after the exam, but you had already left."

Qiao Chu smiled and shook his head: "It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

"By the way, I already introduced myself last time, but I still don't know your name."

Qiao Chu introduced himself: "My name is Qiao Chu, and I'm from Hai City."

"Qiao Chu? Your last name is also Qiao. What a coincidence, my girlfriend's last name is also..."

"Zi'ang, you're here? Come and eat with us."

At this time, people at a table in the restaurant saw Chen Ziang, and one of the boys stood up and shouted loudly.

Chen Ziang was interrupted and turned around and said, "Okay, I'll be right there."

He smiled and invited Qiao Chu: "Come on, they are all contestants this time, let's go over and eat together."

Qiao Chu thought about it and felt that he should get to know everyone, so he readily agreed.

It was not until the day before the recording of the program that Qiao Chu finally met the other 24 contestants. There were men and women, elementary school students, college students, and people who had already joined the workforce. The oldest was 24 years old and the youngest was only 11 years old.

Everyone had a nice personality, and after having a meal together, they got along very well.

On the day of the program recording, Qiao Chu came out of the system early in the morning. In a while, special makeup artists and stylists would come to do makeup and styling for the contestants. After all, it was a TV show, and image was very important.

The makeup artist applied light makeup to Qiao Chu and gave her a ladylike hairstyle, and the stylist matched her with a flowing white dress. They are indeed professionals. After the styling was completed, Qiao Chu looked at herself in the mirror. She had a sweet smile, beautiful eyes, and a hint of fairy spirit in her pure beauty. She was so beautiful that even she was amazed.

In fact, the program crew noticed her extraordinary beauty from the beginning and dressed her up carefully in order to increase the appeal of the program and attract the audience's attention. After all, everyone likes to look at beautiful women. Although this is a science and educational program, they still have to consider ratings while spreading knowledge.

After a quick breakfast, Qiao Chu and his friends went to the TV station next to the hotel. The staff took them to the lounge, where they were waiting to go on stage.

Several people sat obediently in the lounge, surrounded by a row of cameras recording a video. Although the show has not officially started yet, these cameras have already started running. They are responsible for recording the contestants' movements in the lounge throughout the entire process, from entering the lounge to the recording of the show. They are responsible for recording everyone's various reactions so that they can be inserted into the competition during post-production.

When the camera scanned Qiao Chu, a beautiful face suddenly appeared on the screen. Everyone in the director's room was amazed. The next second, the director picked up the intercom and instructed the staff in charge of recording in the lounge: "Pay attention to giving more shots to No. 3 Qiao Chu, and try to bring the camera to her direction naturally."

"Okay, got it."

After the staff member finished answering, he put down the walkie-talkie, looked at Qiao Chu, and decisively added another camera, pointing it specifically in the direction of Qiao Chu to film her throughout the entire process.

Appearance is justice, this is a...realistic society.

Everyone waited for a long time before the show finally began. There is a large screen in front of the lounge, which can directly broadcast the action on the stage. Their contestants go on stage one by one to challenge. While one contestant is challenging, the others stay in the lounge and watch the game on the big screen.

The director announced the start of the show, and after the passionate opening music, the host Yu Yongjian walked onto the stage.

Yu Yongjian is the host of The Brain. His hosting style is rigorous yet humorous, and he is very popular with the audience. He is also a knowledgeable person. He is a professor at Haida, the most famous university in Hai City. Before becoming a host, he had also achieved many academic achievements.

As soon as Yu Yongjian came on stage, he loudly asked the audience: "Where is China's most powerful brain?"

"Here!" the audience answered in unison.

"Yes! Your talents are the wealth of mankind. Our slogan is - let science become popular! Here you will experience unprecedented brainstorming. 25 geniuses will challenge the strongest brainpower on this stage. Those who advance will have the opportunity to compete with foreign geniuses and win glory for the country!"

After his opening remarks, Yu Yongjian began to introduce the program rules.

There are a total of 25 challengers participating in the program this time. Each challenger is a genius with unique skills. Each challenger will take turns to go on stage to challenge his or her best skills. Before the challenge, three judges will give a pre-judgment score ranging from 0 to 5 points. Then the challenger will start the challenge. After the challenge is successful, the scientist judge will give a difficulty score based on the difficulty of the challenger's project, ranging from 0 to 10. Finally, the sum of the pre-judgment scores given by the three judges will be multiplied by the difficulty score given by the scientist judge. If the result is greater than 80 points, the challenger will advance, otherwise he or she will be eliminated. Among the 25 challengers, only 9 were left to form China's strongest brain team to compete against foreign teams. If there are more than 9 challengers who score above 80 points, they will be ranked according to their scores and the one with the lowest score will be eliminated.

The elimination rate is still very high, reaching an astonishing 64%.

There are four judges in the show, three ordinary judges and one scientist judge.

After Yu Yongjian introduced the rules of the competition, he began to introduce the four judges.

The ordinary judges are: the beautiful female host and singer Ren Yuanyuan, the well-known pop music superstar Yin Tianyou, and the head coach of the national table tennis team Liang Zhongqiu.

The scientist judge is Yuan Ziwei, a famous psychologist and doctoral supervisor who specializes in studying how the brain works. He is very professional in academics and has the most say among the judges.

After all the introductions were completed, the challenge officially began.

"Now please welcome the first challenger."

The first person to come on stage was Chen Ziang.

Yu Yongjian looked at the handsome guy in front of him and said with a smile: "What a handsome guy. Come on, introduce yourself to everyone first."

Chen Ziang seemed to be used to this kind of scene, not at all stage frightened, holding the microphone and said calmly: "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Ziang, I am a senior student at the Beijing University Affiliated High School, I am good at observation..."

The project that Chen Ziang wants to challenge is exactly related to observation - finding differences in the Rubik's Cube Wall.

"Okay, now let's invite the props to come on stage."

The staff pushed two walls onto the stage. When everyone took a closer look, they found that the two walls were made up of densely packed Rubik's Cubes. They looked dizzying and were very unfriendly to people with trypophobia.

Seeing everyone's confused faces, Yu Yongjian began to explain the rules of this challenge project to everyone: "Here are two Rubik's Cube walls, each wall is made up of 2,500 Rubik's Cubes, and the patterns on these two walls are the same. I will ask a judge to come up and change a Rubik's Cube on one of the walls. Then Chen Ziang will find out which Rubik's Cube has been changed. He has three chances and must guess the correct Rubik's Cube within three times, otherwise he will be eliminated!"

Wow——

There was an uproar at the scene. Everyone's eyes were dazzled by the densely packed Rubik's Cube pieces, and some people even started to cry. And Chen Ziang had to find out the one small cube that had been modified among these densely packed Rubik's Cubes?

This is absolutely impossible!

After listening to the rules, Ren Yuanyuan was the first to speak: "This... is beyond the limits of human beings. How is it possible to do this?"

Yin Tianyou next to him echoed: "Yes, it's almost the same if a computer is used to do it."

Atom Dimension smiled and said, "That's why we call it the strongest brain. We are looking for the strongest brain. If it's too ordinary, then it can't be called the 'strongest', right?"

Yu Yongjian turned around and asked Chen Ziang: "Young man, do you have confidence?"

Chen Ziang smiled confidently: "Of course."

"Okay, please give us your scores, three judges!"

This challenge was indeed too difficult. All three judges were shocked, so they all gave high scores - Ren Yuanyuan 5 points, Yin Tianyou 5 points, Liang Zhongqiu 4 points, only one point away from full marks.

After the three judges' predicted scores came out, Chen Ziang was asked to sit on a chair far away from the Rubik's Cube wall. He turned his back to the wall to avoid accidentally seeing the changes later.

"Now, please invite our beautiful Yuanyuan to modify any Rubik's Cube."

Ren Yuanyuan showed a beautiful smile, walked onto the stage confidently, stood in front of the Rubik's Cube wall, lowered her head to think for a while, chose a corner that was least likely to be discovered, and told the scientific assistant next to her the position she wanted to change. The scientific assistant stepped forward, swiftly pulled out the Rubik's Cube she mentioned, and with his fingers flying, he completed the change in a few strokes.

After completing the task, Ren Yuanyuan walked off the stage with great grace.

As expected of a female star who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, she attracts attention wherever she goes.

"The changes are complete. Now, listen to my command - the challenge begins!"

Chen Ziang stood up from his seat, walked to a place three meters away from the Rubik's Cube wall, stopped, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and began to observe the differences between the two Rubik's Cube walls.

The judges and audience in the audience also held their breath, afraid of disturbing him.

One minute... two minutes... three minutes... ten minutes passed...

Chen Ziang's eyes were sharp, and he quickly scanned back and forth between the two Rubik's Cube walls. In a split second, he finally...

“I found it!”

His clear voice rang out in the quiet studio, and everyone exclaimed again.

"Oh my God, did you really find it?"

“Is this something a human can do?”

"Could he have seen it wrong..."

Yu Yongjian looked at Chen Ziang and asked, "Are you sure?"

Chen Ziang nodded: "I'm sure!"

"Okay, please welcome the scientific assistant."

A long-legged girl walked onto the stage and stood next to the Rubik's Cube wall. Chen Ziang pointed out the differences between the two walls he had found and waited for her verification.

Ten minutes later, the long-legged girl announced: "The answer is correct!"

The whole audience burst into thunderous applause——

"Oh my god, this is a divine man!"

Everyone was shocked and amazed by his wonderful performance, and the applause lasted for a long time.

Yu Yongjian stepped forward and praised: "Good job, well done!"

Ren Yuanyuan and other judges were also impressed and said, "Excellent!"

After the fierce applause, Yu Yongjian said to the scientist judge Yuan Ziwei: "Ziwei, now it's up to you. You need to give a difficulty score based on the difficulty of the project that Chen Ziang just challenged. The lowest score is 0 and the highest score is 10. Okay, please give your score!"

Atom Dimension thought carefully for a while, and finally gave his difficulty score, "I give it 8 points."

He then explained: "This project is indeed very difficult, because it tests not only a person's observation ability, but also spatial ability. Chen Ziang completed the challenge in just over ten minutes, and he didn't even use the other two chances. I can only say - it's really strong! So I gave it 8 points."

"8 points! What a high score! Chen Ziang's prediction score is 14 points, multiplied by the difficulty score of 8 points, the total is 112 points. I declare Chen Ziang - successfully advanced!"

There was another round of warm applause, and Chen Ziang bowed to everyone on the stage to express his gratitude.

"Next, please let Chen Ziang take the step to the next level!"

The so-called door to promotion is a big staircase leading directly to the back of the stage.

Amid the applause and cheers of the crowd, Chen Ziang walked slowly and stepped onto the door of promotion.

He walked out of the promotion gate, took a walk, and returned to the lounge. Everyone in the lounge came up to congratulate him.

"Zi'ang, that's awesome!"

“Good job!”

"Congratulations, you're so cool!"

Qiao Chu also stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's wonderful, congratulations!"

Chen Ziang smiled back and shook his head, saying, "It's just a trifle, not worth mentioning. It will be your turn next, so you better work hard."

"Thanks."

Qiao Chu is challenger number 3. After Chen Ziang finishes, there will be another person, and then it will be her turn.

In this battle, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!

She swore secretly in her heart.
