Chapter 56: The organizers gave us a picture of the cake

My brother began to draw the branches one by one.

Philip thought that if it was a branch, it could be called many different ways, the more common ones being branch, trunk, twig, pole…

He remembered that after he became proficient in playing this game, it was just a pure game of hand speed. He would try one by one and always be able to answer the questions.

But it's different here. If I have to find a way to wipe the blackboard myself, I have to take into account the time cost. If there is something that can speed it up...

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Philip's mind. He immediately picked up the chalk and wrote "branch" on the blackboard in front of Hansen's astonished eyes.

In the end, the assistant still said the answer was wrong.

This location is close to the sea, and Philip wanted to try to see if he could use something else to quickly wipe off the color of the limestone, and also to see if they could get too far away from the game.

Philip first used a handful of sand from the beach and smeared it on the small blackboard. As expected, the result was not as clean as wiping it clean with hands.

Hansen's eyes were as big as bells, as if asking: Using sand to clean the blackboard? That's not how you use your imagination.

Philip also looked back at him: What? Try it and it won't work? I've never been the captain of a cleaning team, so it's normal that I'm not good at cleaning.

Then, without wasting any more time, he ran to the beach, scooped up some water with his hands, and smeared it on the blackboard. This way, the stains would be removed much faster. If he could have been given a rag...

I almost forgot, he has one ready-made.

Philip immediately tore off a corner of his cloth and used it as a makeshift cleaning towel. After wiping it a few times, the blackboard was instantly clean.

He immediately turned around and ran back.

The other players were amazed when they saw the small blackboard that he had wiped clean to a sparkling shine.

Oh my god, man, why didn’t I think of that?

These players have followed Philip's method. With this method, who would bother to wipe the blackboard by hand?

Everyone wrote down the trunk, twigs, wood, leaves, and even some people wrote lush greenery, but they were all wrong.

No one was depressed by this, and they all ran to the beach to wash it off.

When the contestants from other groups saw them doing this, they also imitated them. Some even wrote down new answers on the beach right after wiping them, and raised their hands to call their assistants to run to the beach to see. Of course, they were ignored. As a result, his fellow contestants saw the answers and wrote them down first, which made the assistants on the beach very angry.

There was almost a fight.

Of course, those who cursed were temporarily asked to leave the game by the referee.

The rules here are that you cannot talk or whisper to each other, and of course, blatant behavior such as swearing is even more prohibited.

Today's round does not count, but even though it does not count, everyone's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly fierce, and the official competition tomorrow will definitely be even more intense.

…

This group still couldn't answer correctly no matter what.

Hansen deliberately made a little noise to attract Philip's attention.

Philip turned around and saw Hansen with his arms wide open towards him, suddenly making a gesture like a phoenix spreading its wings.

Philip was stunned and almost opened his mouth to complain, but after uttering the first syllable, he quickly covered his mouth.

He glared at his companion and said: Hansen, you almost hurt me, why are you playing the role of a hen for no reason?

Seeing that Philip didn't understand, Hansen had to write it himself.

Anyway, this is a warm-up match before the game, so that everyone can get familiar with the game process.

Whose points are not points?

After writing the fourth word, Hansen raised his hand to signal his assistant.

After reading it, the assistant immediately gave Hansen 2 points.

Then Joseph, who was closer to him, also scored 1 point immediately.

The other players were all confused.

The sunlight on the beach was so bright that most players couldn't see anything written on other people's blackboards because of the light.

I can't see it and I can't guess it, so I feel anxious.

Player No. 3 finally couldn't help himself and blurted out: "What the hell is this?"

The referee who heard the news rushed over and immediately left the scene.

The remaining 10 people still couldn't answer.

Hansen showed Philip his hen dance performance, and no one could guess it.

Philip really couldn't think of any idioms that could connect the chicken and the tree together...

After 5 minutes.

The assistant gave the younger brother, who worked hard to draw the picture, a 1-point reward. The rest of the players did not get any more points for this question.

If you can’t answer, just announce the answer directly.

Philip almost wanted to grab the ground with his head when he saw this idiom that had shocked him for five hundred years.

The idiom is: fly to the branch.

He had learned such a simple four-character idiom in elementary school. Hansen even gave him hints with his hands and feet, but he just couldn't figure it out. He was so regretful! Fortunately, it wasn't a formal competition...

You can't talk here, otherwise Philip could complain to his friend about his 10,000-word reflections on the game "You Draw, I Guess".

The game soon entered the third round.

No. 3 has been eliminated because of talking, and No. 4 is the son of a clothing store tycoon.

He came forward to take the word card given to him by the assistant.

After getting it and looking at it, he showed a determined expression.

Philip: Oh? His is very simple?

Philip believed that smart players like Joseph and several other players must have seen his expression.

The successor of the garment shop waved his hand and began to paint.

He drew a circle.

Everyone was waiting for him to draw the second stroke, but he just turned around and smiled at everyone.

What? That's it? That's it? Isn't it too simplistic?

Philip is really worried about the quality of Fanfan's future clothing stores. Don't let the future culture and civilization go the minimalist route from now on...

Some people want to speak, but they are not allowed to speak even though they have opened their mouths. This is an extremely uncomfortable experience.

The brave player directly wrote the word "circle" on his small blackboard and raised his hand to call the assistant.

But obviously, the answer is not this, but there is a chance of getting it right, and if it is right, it would be a great start.

If it's not a circle, then what is a round thing? The contestants wrote down everything that could be associated with a circle, such as the sun, the moon, a plate, a ball, etc., but still couldn't hit the right one.

At this time, the young master of the clothing shop also became anxious, as if he felt that his thinking was too advanced and these idiots could not keep up with him, so he had to erase the circle with his hands and redraw it.

It is definitely impossible for him to carry a blackboard bigger than his body to the beach to wash it. Only Popeye who eats spinach can move the giant blackboards with their legs deeply embedded in the beach.

The drawing time is not unlimited. He made a rough outline and was ready to start over. Others were also in a hurry. If no one guessed it, he would be deducted 10 points, which meant he would never be able to recover.

The young master thought it over again and again, and finally drew a lot of circles and put small dots on them.

Philip: “???”

Is this a big pie for them?

Yes, there are so many cakes, enough to tire them out. These cakes are drawn big and round, are they trying to hint at something?

Someone has already written: "Big pie".

Some people have even started using four-character idioms to describe the scene "flying onto the tree branch", such as painted cakes to satisfy hunger, the moon eaten by the heavenly dog, and the full moon hanging high in the sky.

Even Chang'e flying to the moon has appeared. Brother, isn't this really a magical fairy tale that combines medieval Europe with the Eastern world?

Philip is more inclined to the first glance at the word after people get it. It must be a very simple word, not a four-character idiom, so simple that they can't imagine it. There must be something they overlooked.

The young master had a very hard time drawing the big cake and he almost cried while doing it.

At last, all the time was up and he was deducted 10 points.

The answer is revealed, it’s duck eggs?

The twelve players except the painter were all at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

It turns out that what he drew was not a cake, but a duck egg? All animal eggs are round, which is understandable, but why did he put so many dots on the round egg? Make people mistake it for sesame seeds on a cake?

Philip realized that on farms, animals were usually kept in dirt or grass pits, allowed to run around freely.

So many eggs are laid and when the owner goes to pick them up, the eggshells are covered with dirty mud spots.

The son of the clothing store tycoon must have loved playing on the farm when he was a child, chasing after the chickens and ducklings, and watching the duck mother's newly laid eggs being squeezed by the farm animals, making the eggshells dirty...

No. 4 returned to the players' team with a tearful face. If this wasn't a mock match, he would have to pack up and go home after tonight...

Next is number 5, who doesn't interact with people at all.

The clothes he was wearing looked like a pauper's. I wonder how he was invited to participate in the competition?

After reading the phrase given to him by his assistant, he calmly began to paint.

His painting technique is also very beautiful. You won’t know it until you see it. Once you see it, you will know how stunning it is.

Finally I know how he was selected as the candidate for the prince consort. He is just like the real-life version of Chu Chengan. His academic performance is not good enough, but he has his own strengths. Chu Chengan was admitted to the school as an exception based on his excellent performance in sports.

Of course, in the Middle Ages thousands of years ago, there were also people whose special skills covered up most of their shortcomings, one of which was poverty.

With only a piece of "white chalk", this person was able to draw the small and dense centers and buds of flowers on a huge blackboard. He even took into account the veins of the leaves and the stems of the branches. I wonder how many points this painting will get in the end?

The prerequisite is that at least one of the players can guess his content.

There are so many words related to flowers, so you might as well wait until he finishes drawing them all before answering.

Anyway, this slum genius is a good painter, so the overall content should not be difficult to guess.

After painting the blooming flowers, he then drew a flying bird, poking its pointed beak into the center of the flower.

Everyone knows that this is a four-character idiom related to birds and flowers.

Philip, who had been single for 20 years, used his excellent hand speed to write down "birds singing and flowers blooming" first, and he got another 2 points.

The rest of the people got 1 point.

The artist who created this painting, which looks like it could be sold directly, got 20 points in one fell swoop.
