Qiao Chu accidentally bound a "Academic God System" because of a moment of kindness,

The system sent her back t...

Chapter 40: Skills Shock the Judges

The second challenger was a 20-year-old girl, a dancer. Her challenge was to walk blindly through a laser line. There are laser lines within a short distance. The challenger is blindfolded and can only rely on memory, body flexibility and coordination to cross the laser lines, while ensuring that no part of the body touches the laser lines.

Her challenge was wonderful, and received applause and cheers from the audience. Her total prediction score was 15 points, but she only received 5 points for difficulty from the scientist judge Yuan Ziwei. Yuan Ziwei believed that her challenge used more physical abilities rather than brain power, so the difficulty was not very great and she could not really be called "the brainiest".

In the end, she was unfortunately eliminated with a total score of 75 points.

Next, it was Qiao Chu's turn.

"Please welcome the next challenger."

Qiao Chu took a deep breath and slowly walked onto the stage. She had participated in countless competitions and the experience she had accumulated was enough for her to remain calm and composed in the face of such occasions.

As soon as Qiao Chu appeared on the stage and the lights shone on her, her fair face, white shirt, black hair, and sweet smile immediately caught everyone's attention and they were all struck by her beauty. The applause at the scene was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. Nowadays, there are too many big-breasted, brainless vases, but such a beautiful and intelligent talented girl is very rare. From ancient times to the present, women with both beauty and talent have always been loved and respected.

Yu Yongjian was also surprised by her beauty. He smiled and said, "When you came on stage, the atmosphere became much more lively. Everyone's enthusiasm seemed to have increased a lot. This is all thanks to you. Come on, introduce yourself to everyone first."

"Hello everyone, my name is Qiao Chu, and I'm a sophomore at Haishi No. 1 High School."

Everyone responded with warm applause, and of course, the male audience was the most active.

"Welcome our challenger Qiao Chu."

Yu Yongjian turned his head towards Ren Yuanyuan and asked, "Yuanyuan, you are also a famous beauty host and singer in the entertainment industry. With your discerning female eyes, what do you think of classmate Qiao?"

Ren Yuanyuan smiled slightly: "Teacher Yu is right. In fact, I also think that my vision is quite picky. I have been in the entertainment industry for such a long time. What kind of beauties have I not seen? I have seen a lot, so my vision is naturally high. However, when I met classmate Qiao today, I was still greatly amazed. With her conditions, she can outshine a lot of female stars even in the entertainment industry."

"Oh?" Yu Yongjian teased, and asked a question that embarrassed Ren Yuanyuan, "Are you one of those female stars who are outshined?"

In fact, everyone present could see that Qiao Chu's appearance was better than Ren Yuanyuan's. Ren Yuanyuan herself was not the kind of beauty who could stun people at first sight. Her beauty mostly depended on her styling and dressing. However, if Ren Yuanyuan said this herself, it would be too hurtful to her self-esteem. After all, she was a female star and was more sensitive about her appearance. However, if she answered that she was not outshined by someone else, it would not be in line with the actual situation. After all... people are not blind.

But who is Ren Yuanyuan? She is a host by profession. She can’t be a host without some emotional intelligence and good speaking skills.

She put on an elegant smile and said in a relaxed tone, "Teacher Yu, you are embarrassing me. Qiao must be very outstanding to be able to stand on this stage. I am outshined by her in terms of intelligence alone."

With just one sentence, she drew everyone's attention back to Qiao Chu's wisdom. Everyone woke up from their dream. Yes, this is an intelligence program, not a beauty pageant...

"Hahaha. Yeah." Yu Yongjian smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject. "Our classmate Qiao is not only beautiful, but also very smart. I heard that she once helped the police solve a theft case and recovered 100,000 yuan of life-saving money for the owner."

"Ah? A theft case?"

"What's going on?"

The curiosity of everyone present was aroused.

Yu Yongjian explained with a smile: "I heard that classmate Qiao was shopping once and met a thief who stole 100,000 yuan. The 100,000 yuan was borrowed by the owner to treat his child's illness. The owner broke down on the spot. When the thief was running away, classmate Qiao took a look at him. The police asked her to help draw a portrait of the suspect. After drawing several times, she felt that none of them were right. Then classmate Qiao drew the portrait of the suspect herself. In the end, the police caught the thief within a day based on the portrait. Classmate Qiao, is this true?"

Qiao Chu nodded: "Yes, it is basically true. However, you exaggerate my contribution. I just helped a little. The most important thing is the police. It was they who worked tirelessly and worked overnight to catch the thief. Their contribution is greater."

Seeing her so modest, Yu Yongjian's eyes flashed with admiration, "Student Qiao, don't be so modest. Without the portrait you drew, the police would have no way to start."

He continued to the audience, "Do you know what's even more amazing? I heard that Qiao's right hand was broken and she hadn't recovered yet, so she drew the portrait of the suspect with her left hand! Moreover, the police confirmed that the portrait was more than 95% similar to the thief himself, which even shocked the thief himself!"

“That’s amazing!”

Ren Yuanyuan was amazed and was the first to raise her hand and applaud, followed by the whole audience applauding.

Yin Tianyou applauded and smiled as he said to Qiao Chu on the stage: "Mr. Qiao, it seems that you are a good painter. If you have the chance, please draw a portrait for me."

Qiao Chu readily agreed: "It's my honor. However, I'm your fan, and when I draw your portrait, I'm afraid my hands will tremble with nervousness."

As a pop music king, Yin Tianyou's songs are unique in style and are deeply loved by young people. When he is free, Qiao Chu will also listen to his songs. There is no heart-wrenching or surging passion in his singing, but just like a breeze, which makes people feel comfortable and relaxed.

Yin Tianyou was very happy to hear Qiao Chu say that she was his fan. He smiled and promised, "I am very happy to have such an excellent fan like you. When we have time, we can take a photo as a souvenir."

"Okay, thank you Brother Tianyou."

Qiao Chu was so happy to be able to take a photo with her favorite singer. Did she succeed in chasing her idol?

At this time, Atom Dimension spoke up. As the only scientist judge on the field, his motto was "science is the only criterion for judging." To put it bluntly, he was the bad guy. When the other three judges praised the challengers, he would come out and criticize and embarrass the challengers with a harsh eye. The four judges worked together, one positive and one negative, with encouragement and criticism, so that the show would be interesting.

"Student Qiao, you were able to draw the portrait of the thief after just one look, which shows that you have a good memory and good drawing skills, but I don't think this can be called the 'best'! You took a look, how long did that look take? 5 seconds? 10 seconds? Or 15 seconds? I think it's not difficult for a person with a good memory to quickly remember a face, and that face was a thief. The thief must have done a lot of unreasonable actions, such as sneaking around or running away in a hurry, so you must have paid special attention to him, and these factors will enhance your memory. In addition, the fact that you can draw a likeness is entirely because you are a good painter, and it has little to do with your brain."

He said this with great emphasis and a serious expression, which was like pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone present. However, this cannot be blamed on him. These plots were originally arranged in advance by the program team, and he was just fulfilling his duties.

Yin Tianyou was the first to protest and firmly defend his fans, "Teacher Yuan, what you said is wrong. We all think that classmate Qiao is very capable and can help the police draw portraits and solve cases. Have you heard of anyone else besides classmate Qiao?"

"Yeah, it's amazing."

Ren Yuanyuan also agreed, saying that she herself couldn't do it. She was not good at either remembering faces or drawing, so she admired those who could do it.

Seeing that several judges held different opinions, Yu Yongjian turned his gaze to Liang Zhongqiu, who had remained silent, and said, "Coach Liang, you have been particularly silent today. I haven't seen you participate in the discussion. This is not good. Now that the other judges have different opinions, you can tell me what you think."

Liang Zhongqiu was indeed very silent today. He also knew that he had to speak actively when on a TV show to ensure that he would have more shots. It's just that something happened at home recently and he's really not in the mood. If he hadn't already agreed to the invitation from the program crew, he wouldn't even want to participate in the show. However, since Yu Yongjian had already asked him, he still managed a smile and replied: "Everyone has different standards. I think Mr. Yuan's standards may be more stringent. Since he thinks that drawing a portrait of Qiao will not be difficult for the police to solve the case, I think he will not speak nonsense and must have his own reasons."

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly suggested, "Why not let Teacher Yuan give Student Qiao a question on the spot to test her. Teacher Yuan should give a question that he thinks is difficult. If Student Qiao can complete it, then he should have nothing to say, right?"

"Eh? That's a good suggestion!"

Everyone thought his suggestion was good, and Atom Dimension also nodded in agreement.

Yu Yongjian turned around and asked Qiao Chu: "What do you think, Qiao?"

Qiao Chu nodded without hesitation: "I have no problem."

As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire, she is not afraid at all.

After getting her approval, Yu Yongjian said to Yuan Ziwei: "Okay, now let our scientist judges come up with questions."

Atom Dimension thought for a moment and said, "I don't want people to think that I'm too strict or too unkind, so I won't make things difficult for you. Since you're good at painting, I'll come up with a question about painting. How about that?"

"no problem."

"Please ask the staff to prepare the drawing paper and brushes first."

After a while, the staff handed Qiao Chu a drawing book and a sketching pencil. Qiao Chu took it, held it in his hand, and waited for Atom Dimension to ask questions.

Atom Dimension smiled slyly and asked a question that surprised everyone present, "Student Qiao, please draw a portrait of the staff member who just gave you paper and pen."

"What?"

"Teacher Yuan, you are too mean, aren't you? No one noticed the staff member just now, and I didn't even see whether it was a man or a woman. How do you want Qiao to draw? Draw the air?"

Even Liang Zhongqiu, who had remained neutral, shook his head and said, "Indeed, if you let someone draw, at least let her take a look first. She may not have seen it just now. After all, Qiao's attention was all on the paper and pen."

Atom Dimension was completely unmoved by everyone's protests. He insisted, "We choose the strongest brain. I think that at least this level is the best."

He fixed his eyes on Qiao Chu and asked, "Student Qiao, I hope you can understand that I am not deliberately making things difficult for you, because this is my standard. How about it? Can you accept the challenge?"

Qiao Chu didn't have a trace of embarrassment or anger on his face. Instead, he smiled and replied, "Teacher Yuan, I understand, because I also have high standards for myself. So... I accept the challenge!"

"What?"

Ren Yuanyuan, Yin Tianyou and others were all very surprised, because in their opinion this was completely a deliberate difficulty from Yuan Ziwei. Unexpectedly, Qiao Chu was not angry, but agreed with a smile, and... he looked confident?

Could it be... that she is really okay? Is she sure she can draw it?

No one was optimistic. When the staff member handed over the paper and pen, it was just a matter of a split second. They couldn't even see whether he was a man or a woman, or what color clothes he was wearing, let alone his face... and now they wanted to draw it, how was it possible?

At this time, Atom Dimension added: "Mr. Qiao, my requirement is that the similarity must be at least 90%."

People are too lazy to condemn him now. He is too thick-skinned and his standards are too strict. It is just a waste of time to argue with him.

They turned their attention to Qiao Chu on the stage.

Qiao Chu remained calm and nodded, "Okay, Teacher Yuan."

She actually agreed so casually? Everyone was speechless. 90% similarity?

What are you talking about! Even if someone who is proficient in painting were to draw according to the model, it would be difficult to achieve such a high degree of similarity, right?

How should she end...

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Seeing that Qiao Chu was ready, Yu Yongjian said loudly: "Okay, I declare that the challenge begins!"

Qiao Chu closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he just met the staff member in his mind, frame by frame, playing it back quickly like rewinding...

In a split second, I caught——

It's her!

She opened her eyes quickly, picked up a pencil and started drawing on the paper.

Several judges and audience members also became nervous and looked at her anxiously.

The scene was quiet——

Fifteen minutes passed, Qiao Chu stopped writing, raised his head and signaled to Yu Yongjian.

Yu Yongjian was surprised and asked, "Is the painting finished?"

"Well, I'm done."

"So fast? Only fifteen minutes?"

Yuan Ziwei was also very surprised at Qiao Chu's speed. He said to Qiao Chu, "Student Qiao, don't worry. You can spend more time. There is no time limit for this challenge. You can finish it slowly."

Qiao Chu shook his head and confirmed: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, I have really finished the painting."

Seeing that she was very sure, Yu Yongjian walked up to her and said, "Okay, don't let everyone see your painting yet. Let's invite the staff member who just came to the stage first."

Then, a young woman came up, stood in the center of the stage, turned her body towards the audience, and raised her head so that everyone could see her face clearly. It was a very ordinary and featureless face, what we usually call a common face. If you throw a brick onto Huaihai Road, it can kill five such people. However, the more ordinary something is, the harder it is to draw. Although she looks ordinary, if you observe carefully, you will find that every ordinary face is different, and everyone is ordinary in their own way.

In general, it is... extremely difficult.

"Everyone saw it, right? The staff member just now looked like this. Now we would like to invite Qiao to show everyone the portrait she drew, and let's all judge whether it looks like the real thing! Okay, Qiao, please show your drawing!"

Qiao Chu turned the drawing paper in his hand over to face everyone, and raised his arm high so that everyone could see it more easily.

"Wow--"

"Oh my god, they look so alike, don't they?"

"I can't believe it, it looks exactly like the one I took with a camera!"

Everyone was stunned. Qiao Chu's portrait was exactly the same as the staff member next to her. She even drew the staff member's upper body, wearing a simple suit jacket with a plaid shirt underneath. Even the direction of the plaid on the shirt was exactly the same...

This is amazing!

"Mr. Qiao, you are awesome. You are worthy of being my fan!"

Yin Tianyou was the first to applaud and cheer. While applauding, he looked at Yuan Ziwei provocatively, "Well, Mr. Yuan, you have nothing to say now, right?"

"Yes, Qiao's move is so astonishing. It's not easy! Not only are their faces and hairstyles similar, but even their clothes are exactly the same. I'm almost speechless and can only applaud you."

Ren Yuanyuan and Liang Zhongqiu were also full of admiration.

Now we just have to wait for Atomic Dimension to speak.

"Well, Qiao is really amazing. Your memory and drawing skills are really good, but..."

There was no expression of admiration on his face, and his tone was indifferent. Everyone's hearts were lifted as they waited with bated breath for his next words.

"But, Mr. Qiao, you're just barely passing. I can only give you a 90% similarity."

"What?"

When you said this, everyone was shocked. You said this is only 90%? In everyone's opinion, this has reached 100%. Isn't this too strict?

Everyone carefully compared the staff member and the portrait again. No matter from which angle they looked at it, they were very similar!

Everyone began to think that Atom Dimension was being unreasonable...

Yin Tianyou was the first to quit. He was a little angry and said in a rather aggressive tone, "Teacher Yuan, you call this 90%? That's too harsh, isn't it? We all have eyes."

Facing the accusatory gazes of the crowd, Yuan Ziwei remained calm and said calmly: "Don't panic, I have my reasons. Please look carefully, there is a black mole under the end of the right eyebrow of our staff member. Please pay attention to it. Is there a black mole there? Please look at the portrait drawn by classmate Qiao. Is this mole missing?"

Everyone squinted their eyes and looked carefully at the staff member's face. After searching for a long time, they finally found the mole he mentioned. However... the mole was probably only as big as a sesame seed, right?

Who will notice!

Ren Yuanyuan said to Yuan Ziwei, "Teacher Yuan, I admit that Qiao may have overlooked the existence of the mole, but isn't that understandable? So many of us have been watching her for so long and no one noticed it, not to mention that Qiao just had a fleeting glimpse of her, so this can't be considered a mistake at all."

"Yes, I think Qiao has done a great job. The mole is so small that it can be completely ignored."

Yin Tianyou still stood up to defend his fans.

Liang Zhongqiu also said: "Yes, I also think that there is no need to worry about the mole."

Atom Dimension has a different view. "Please listen to me. A portrait is to show the most distinctive features of a person. This mole is the unique feature of that staff member. If you meet two very similar people, this mole can completely distinguish the two people. So, when people say that it can be ignored, I disagree. On the contrary, I think it is crucial."

Seeing that several judges had started to argue with each other again, Yu Yongjian turned his gaze to the central figure in the argument, Qiao Chu, and asked, "Mr. Qiao, what do you think of this mole? Do you think it was your mistake? Did you not see it clearly or did you forget it?"

There was no trace of embarrassment or unwillingness on Qiao Chu's face. She smiled and said, "I didn't make a mistake, because I can be sure that this staff member definitely doesn't have a mole on his face!"

"What?" Yu Yongjian widened his eyes in surprise, somewhat puzzled by her answer. What did she mean by being sure that the staff member had absolutely no moles on their faces?

Is it that everyone is dazzled?

He looked at the staff member's face again in confusion, and saw that the mole was right below her eyebrow. Although it was not conspicuous, it was real.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Qiao Chu explained, "I don't know how the mole on her face appeared, but I can be sure that when she came up to hand me the paper and pen, there was indeed no mole on her face."

"Impossible?"

Yu Yongjian retorted that this was unscientific. How could a person grow a mole in such a short period of time?

Seeing that Qiao Chu looked very determined, as if he was really sure, he had no choice but to look at the judges and ask for their opinions.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Ziwei spoke first. He asked Qiao Chu, "Student Qiao, are you sure? You know, we all have sharp eyes. We can see clearly whether there is a mole or not."

Qiao Chu still insisted on his opinion and said with certainty: "I am 100% sure, there is no mole!"

She exudes a strong sense of self-confidence. No matter what people see or say, she is certain that there is no mole!

This... Just when everyone was confused, Atom Dimension suddenly laughed. It was not a smile, nor a mockery, but a loud laugh. He laughed very happily.

As a scientist judge, he usually has a stern face, and this is the first time everyone has seen him laugh.

What's wrong? Crazy with joy? Everyone became even more confused.

Atom Dimension laughed for a long time before he stopped, his eyes full of admiration, "Student Qiao, congratulations, you succeeded in the challenge!"

What? What kind of divine development is this?

Atom Dimension explained the confusion for everyone: "The staff member really does not have a mole on his face. I just secretly asked the program crew to draw that mole on him. The purpose is to interfere with your memory. This is the real question I asked! Congratulations, you passed!"

Everyone then suddenly realized.

"Ah——Teacher Hara, you are too cunning, aren't you?"

"Yes, if it wasn't for Qiao's insistence, he would have been led into trouble by you."

"That's too much! This is totally misleading! So the questions you set are so difficult?"

Then there was another round of attacks. No one expected that the real difficulty of the questions that Atom Dimension gave Qiao Chu would be at the end. Isn’t this man too scheming?

Even the trick of drawing fake moles was used! How could he think of that!

If Qiao Chu hadn't insisted, I'm afraid it would really...

After everyone understood, they admired Qiao Chu even more. Not only did she draw it, but she also firmly insisted on her answer when faced with doubts. This not only requires excellent memory and extraordinary painting skills, but also strong psychological qualities. All of these are indispensable!

And she is just a high school student...

The whole audience roared and the applause lasted for a long time. Everyone was impressed by Qiao Chu's wonderful performance.

This girl... is simply amazing!
