Chapter 709: One Game Determines Winner or Loser
"Please listen to the question. Wait until the countdown is over before you start answering!" A true or false question appeared on the screen: [The cliffs of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are primarily composed of limestone, making it suitable for excavating caves.]
A 60-second countdown begins below the question.
How could it be such a black-and-white question? It's like a life-or-death decision.
Although the questions seem a bit simple, based on my many years of examination experience, simple questions are often prone to traps.
When I looked at Qin Shi, the others were also looking at her. It seemed that no one was easily fooled.
Qin Shi is a real academic master among us. Her comprehensive knowledge level is definitely the best among us, so everyone is looking at her eagerly.
Su Rina said, "I don't know what limestone looks like, but judging by the name, it should be easy to chisel. I used to do it all by hand, so I definitely looked for a chisel that was easy to use. I made the right choice!"
Pang Xiaomin thought about it and shook his head honestly, "I haven't been to Mogao Grottoes, I haven't seen it, so I don't know."
I shook my head as well. "I haven't been there either, but I think the more the limestone looks right, the more likely it is a trap."
Huang Tianyi glanced at us and said, "You're talking as if you two would know the name of the stone if you've been there."
"Have you been there?" we asked her in unison.
"Of course I've been there!" Huang Tianyi raised her head. "But I didn't even know I was there! I went to see the paintings. Who cares about the variety of stones?"
"I've only seen beaches and never deserts in my life."
Well, Ren Qiongying is also unreliable.
Qin Shi frowned and muttered, "No, I've been to Mogao Grottoes and touched the rock wall. The texture was very rough, and there were many small stones on the rock wall. I tried to pick them off, but I couldn't get them off.
It's definitely not limestone, but I can't remember what it's called."
The countdown entered the last three seconds, and the university student Qin Shi was still thinking hard.
At the end of the last second, Qin Shi hesitated for less than a second, and was overtaken by the other party.
Qin Shi's face turned pale. "Oh no, I'm too slow." She looked at us guiltily. Huang Tianyi comforted her, "It's okay. Just because someone is quick doesn't mean they have the right answer."
I pray that Huang Tianyi’s crow’s mouth is blessed.
"That's the correct question! At that time, it was all excavated manually, so the texture of limestone is certainly suitable for carving." A boy on the other side answered loudly with full confidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shi quickly pressed the appeal button. The host motioned for her to speak. Qin Shi confidently said, "Wrong! Mogao Grottoes is not made of limestone at all. Limestone has a uniform texture, while the rock walls of Mogao Grottoes are very rough and granular, as if a lot of gravel was added to the stone. So I think the other party's answer is wrong."
Seeing Mr. Fei nodding and smiling at her, we all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qin Shi got the answer right!
As expected, the host announced that we had answered correctly, "Student A is right. It is indeed not limestone, but conglomerate."
It's a really simple and unpretentious naming method.
The score from the Film Academy evaporated instantly, and warm applause rang out from the audience again.
Although it was just a small competition that had nothing to do with future or honor, the Aragon ambassador still gave it enough emotional value and was as excited as if his own daughter had won the Nobel Prize.
Tang Yi and Ms. Huang smiled and waved at us. Tang Yuye obviously saw her uncle, and bit her lip hard when she saw Tang Yi cheering for us.
Everyone at the Film Academy looked very unhappy, which was completely different from the feeling of watching this show before.
In previous shows, the losing party would smile gracefully, shake hands with the winning party, and bow to the audience together.
Looking at the faces of everyone in the Film Academy right now, they are too lazy to even act, let alone shaking hands. Their eyes are full of poison, as if they wish we would die on the spot.
"I declare that the winner of this episode is A-School Clothing..." Before the host could finish her words, Tang Yuye suddenly stood up from her seat and said in a sharp voice, "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
The whole place fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Ning Bei was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his professional smile: "Mr. Tang, do you have any questions?"
Tang Yuye ignored Ning Bei and looked directly at Xiao Shiqiu in the guest seats. "Mr. Xiao, as a guest judge, shouldn't you avoid suspicion? After all, you have a special relationship with a student in the A University team."
As soon as she finished speaking, whispers broke out in the audience.
Someone whispered, "What do you mean? Who is Mr. Xiao related to in Team A?"
Some people even looked directly at us, examining each of us one by one, wondering which one of us had an 'unusual' relationship with Xiao Shiqiu.
My heart skipped a beat and I subconsciously looked at Xiao Shiqiu, but saw that he looked indifferent, as if Tang Yuye's words had nothing to do with him.
Seeing me looking at him, he winked at me without hesitation, and the uneasiness in my heart magically disappeared, but then I glared at him with some annoyance. It was already so late, and he was still winking at me.
Ning Bei probably had never encountered someone who dared to question the fairness of the program on the spot. Miss Tang's shout stunned him for a moment, but with his superb adaptability, he quickly put on a professional smile on his face. "Mr. Tang, if you have any questions, we can discuss them after the program is finished. We won't waste your time here."
Although the broadcast duration of this variety show is 60 minutes, our recording time, including the preliminary preparations and intermission, has exceeded four hours. Others are fine, but Mr. Fei is obviously a little exhausted.
Tang Yuye refused to give in, her voice rising eight degrees: "Post-match discussion? Why?! If some people use connections to get points, how can this game be fair?
Mr. Xiao, shouldn't you explain your relationship with Mr. Xia from University A?
The whole audience was in an uproar, and the discussions in the audience became louder and louder. Some people even stood up to see more clearly.
The photographer quickly pointed the camera at me. Tang Yi stood up and gestured desperately for Tang Yuye to sit down, but Miss Tang, who was used to being willful, didn't take her uncle's actions seriously at all. She still held her head high, looking unconvinced.
I felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone in the audience, but I still forced a smile to keep up the atmosphere. I started to PUA myself in my heart: They look at me because I am beautiful.
Huang Tianyi cursed under her breath: "She's so reckless about a ten-day overseas trip. Is the Tang family going bankrupt? I have to ask Tang Yi if his family is that poor. If not, he should just come to my house and marry into my family."
Her focus was obviously diverted, but I didn't have the heart to argue with her about the focus. Su Rina also shook my hand under the table, signaling me not to panic.
