Whether it has any specific impact or how it affects them, only the contestants behind know it.
Especially the one in line 2.
Their scoring situation is not ideal, I wonder if it has been affected?
But in the eyes of Xu Jiaying and others, even if they were affected, it cannot be said that it was bad luck, but rather lack of strength.
Of course, these discussions ended with the quick questions and answers.
The second part was a quick-answer session. Unconsciously, the atmosphere on the stage changed, with more flammable and explosive elements.
The competition was in full swing, pushing the atmosphere to a climax again and again, and then exploding again, reaching a new climax and then exploding again.
When this round was over, not only the contestants and the audience, but even the two hosts breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni, who had unknowingly stood in the middle, looked at each other, took a deep breath, straightened their chests, and stretched their bodies invisibly.
That round just now was indeed... a bit cruel!
"Wow, that feels great."
Chen Pei was super excited, his little face was red and looked like a red apple.
She was just concentrating on pressing the buzzer.
There is no need to count, the host definitely said "Come on, young gray-haired team, please answer the question" the most.
Most of this is due to her.
I just, inexplicably, have a feeling of being in control of the whole situation.
"Peipei..." Zhou Zhizhi silently raised a thumbs up.
"Hehe, hehe." Chen Pei laughed like a little mouse that stole oil.
Zhou Zhizhi's nervousness had long since disappeared, and she tried her best to help grab the bells... It can't be said that she didn't help at all, but most of them were grabbed by Chen Pei.
By the end she was numb and just watched Chen Pei grab the bell, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni answer the questions, and occasionally Song Jiangli would answer too.
In other words, she didn't know that the term "winning without effort" would appear in the future, but the feeling was very clear.
"Normally, we should take a few minutes to rest here, drink some water or go to the restroom. However, this isn't a normal, ordinary competition, so we'll move directly to the final...question drawing phase."
The host just took a break while counting the scores, and now it's back to normal.
Everyone: “……!”
Come on, come on, let’s compete to the death and satisfy the audience.
As the captain of Team No. 1, Song Jiangli casually drew out a question card and handed it to the host.
Her attitude was simply... The people from other teams were watching and were inevitably gritting their teeth.
"Okay, let's look at the question... Please explain the relationship between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'."
"10 seconds to prepare."
Wang Zhaozhao looked at Xu Yanni and said, "This is your question."
She knew that Xu Yanni had read Dream of the Red Chamber.
"Jia Baoyu is the son of Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion, and Lin Daiyu is the daughter of Jia Baoyu's aunt Jia Min. They are cousins and close relatives.
The two grew up together...
...Lin Daiyu died in tears on the night of Jia Baoyu's wedding."
Xu Yanni does know the answer to this question.
Next it was Team 2’s turn to draw a question, and they answered it themselves.
After the nine teams had their turns, teams 3, 7, and 8 failed to answer their own questions and "gave" points to other teams. Wang Zhaozhao's team picked up a question.
In the second round, Song Jiangli drew the questions again.
"Qu Yuan actively assisted King Huai in reforming the country and advocating an alliance with Qi to resist Qin. However, he was framed by treacherous ministers and alienated by King Huai. Overwhelmed with grief and indignation, he drowned himself in the Miluo River, sacrificing his life for his country."
"Please tell me a story about an ancient figure who was as patriotic as Qu Yuan."
This question is neither difficult nor tricky. The main thing is to think of a patriotic ancient figure within 10 seconds, organize your language, and summarize it concisely in just a few dozen words, like in Example 1.
Wang Zhaozhao was not in a hurry to answer the question. Instead, she looked at Song Jiangli and the others and asked, "Does anyone of you want to answer it?"
As a result, they all took a small step back silently.
After this part is over, you can actually find that the questions in this part are all about the same theme, and they actually test language organization and expression.
The 10-second time limit creates a sense of urgency, which increases the difficulty.
After the first stage, the second stage, and actually by the third stage, everyone's mentality should have stabilized, but some people even collapsed.
"Okay, now the combined scores for each team are out. Six teams have been eliminated this round, and they are..."
"Congratulations to the top three teams: Team Shaobaitou from Lu Province, Team Feiying from Jing Province, and Team Aotian from Yu Province."
"The final will be held tomorrow morning. I wish our contestants good luck. Thank you all for watching today. See you tomorrow."
The second day's competition ended amid applause.
The host left the stage, the contestants left, and the audience... was still not satisfied.
There was no rush to leave, various discussions took place.
The area where Principal Chen and his team were located was not shrinking day by day like the contestants' area.
For eliminated teams, contestants can go back directly or stay as spectators.
Not many people go back directly, after all, they are already here.
However, not all other contestants have school teachers or principals present. After all, the teams are led by people from the working group, so it doesn't matter whether there are people from the school or not.
Chikuyama County Middle School is different. They have three students participating in the competition.
So, when they had two principals and a teacher, not only did no one say it was wrong, but they were secretly envious or jealous.
"Principal Chen, is it because you are a female principal that the girls in your school are so special?" A voice suddenly rang out in the pleasant atmosphere.
Very unfriendly.
"Are you saying you're neither male nor female? Otherwise, how come both male and female are not powerful?"
Well.
The air was quiet.
They are all principals, are they so straightforward and ruthless?
Some people feel that there is something interesting to watch, while others regret that they walked too slowly.
"Let's go." Principal Chen took the lead with a calm expression.
Chu Jianshe and Zhou Donglai hurried to follow.
Most people followed suit, but of course there were also some who deliberately slowed down a few steps.
Wang Zhaozhao and the others didn't know that Principal Chen was being framed because they performed too well.
When they met at the guesthouse, Principal Chen was still amiable.
"You guys performed very well. Tomorrow is the last game. You must not only play steadily but also give your all. After all, the more beautiful the victory, the better."
She said.
Chu Jianshe and Zhou Donglai exchanged a silent glance: "......!"
Wang Zhaozhao and the others nodded in unison, "Okay."
They don't think there's anything wrong.
As I said, of course you have to aim for first place in the competition, and if you can win beautifully, the more beautiful the better.
Therefore, even though they felt that Principal Chen's words were gentle yet murderous, they still thought it was normal.
