At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone returned to the stadium.
After experiencing the morning session, both the contestants and the audience had an understanding of the organizer's rhythm.
The styles of the two hosts are still clean and neat, without any drag.
"Six teams will be eliminated this round. I'll give you three minutes to decide whether to continue with the same order as this morning or make some adjustments..."
Regarding the Young Gray-haired Team, Song Jiangli did not ask Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni, but directly asked Chen Pei and Zhou Zhizhi if they had any thoughts about their appearance.
"If you have any ideas, you must tell us. We are a team now. It has just started, and we will definitely need to cooperate with each other in the future." Song Jiangli said responsibly.
Zhou Zhizhi directly stated, "I feel more secure among the middle ones."
"Okay! This round will still follow the order of appearance in the morning." Song Jiangli made the decision.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni had no objection, and Chen Pei also nodded.
Three minutes passed quickly. While the staff was counting, the host further read out the details of the competition.
"This round tests your memory and your knowledge of uncommon characters. A board with 30 uncommon characters will be placed on the field. Contestants will have one minute to memorize them, then return to their seats and write down the characters one by one within ten minutes."
"Attention! You can't just write down whatever you remember. You must write them down in order. If you make a mistake, it's over.
That is to say, if you wrote down all 30 questions but in the wrong order, for example, the third word is 'I' and the fifth word is 'you', and you misplaced them, then, even if you got all the other answers correct, only two will be counted as correct."
"Also, as an additional question, you can give an annotation for rare characters, which will give you an extra point. There is no order requirement for this."
Wow.
There was an uproar in the audience.
Uncommon characters are difficult to remember, and their meanings have to be explained, and the order cannot be wrong.
"My scalp is tingling just thinking about it."
"Wouldn't that make your scalp tingle? Thirty uncommon characters crammed together."
"One minute may seem like a long time, but let people go to the front to take notes, and then return to their seats to write."
“…”
There was a burst of discussion in the audience.
The contestant area was also very agitated. Some were panicking, some were calm, some had mysterious expressions, and some were in a hurry to go to the toilet.
After the host’s introduction, the staff will summarize the appearances of each team, and it’s time for the first group of people to go on stage.
"Come on, don't panic." Song Jiangli patted Xu Yanni's shoulder.
Xu Yanni took a deep breath and said, "I'm going!"
Unlike this morning, I feel a little nervous.
She couldn't show her fear, and she quickly found a way to comfort herself, "I'm not panicking. I'm only second in command, and we have Boss Zhao to back me up."
Wang Zhao: “……!”
"Take a quick look first. If you're not sure, just focus on the front... Do your best."
The rules of this competition are really tough. Don't expect to remember everything correctly, and it won't work if you only remember the first few answers.
Well, you need a little extra luck.
"Okay!" Xu Yanni nodded and went on stage.
After everyone was in place, they were asked to stand in a row. The staff brought up a stand and placed a large question board on it. The host shouted "timer start" and everyone stared at the question board.
Tick, tick...
"Time's up!"
One minute, sixty seconds, it really feels like it’s all in the blink of an eye.
The staff took the question board off the stand and placed it on the ground.
"Please return to your seats and start answering questions. The time limit is 10 minutes." The host really didn't say any nonsense.
The audience fell into silence.
Some people were thinking silently in their minds, some took out paper and pen to try to answer, and the people in the back row were watching the excitement and feeling the tense atmosphere of the competition.
The contestants on the stage had different expressions as they nervously answered the questions.
Some have blank expressions, some have frowned, some mumble, some scratch their heads...
"There's one minute left."
"30 seconds."
"Count down to 10."
"Ten, nine, eight... one."
"Time's up!"
"Contestants, please stop answering."
As the host's voice fell, the contestants put down their pens and the staff came up and collected their answer boards.
At the same time, the question board on the ground was revealed again.
"Come, let's look at it again. The first character is 奔 (ben), pronounced bēn (ben), meaning to walk quickly, to run, to rush to do something...
The second character: 猋, pronounced biāo, means: fast, stormy, running fast...
The third character: 骉, pronounced biāo, means: the way a horse runs...
The fourth character: 粗, pronounced cū…
The fifth character: 诳, pronounced cuì……
The sixth character: Miao, pronounced miǎo...
The seventh character: 掱, pronounced pá……
..."
The host read the whole thing back to back, and their two voices were the only ones mixing in the audience.
Each correct answer counts as two points.
After the 30 words were read out, the contestants' scores were announced, and no one got full marks.
The most correct answers were 24 words, which is 48 points. The students annotated 15 words and got an additional 15 points, for a total of 63 points, which is a cliff-like lead.
At the very least, the example given by the host really hit half of the mark. The third word was misplaced, and even if the others were correct, it didn't count, so there were only two words, which was worth 4 points.
"Ah...Yanni, you got 42 points, so impressive." As soon as Xu Yanni came back, Chen Pei clapped his hands excitedly.
