"Okay, I believe everyone was amazed by Qiao's wonderful performance just now, but don't forget, that was just an extra test, just an appetizer before the main course. Our Qiao's official challenge has not yet begun. I believe that Qiao will definitely bring everyone a more exciting brain competition, let us wait and see!"
Snap——Snap——
"Mr. Qiao, what project do you want to challenge?"
Qiao Chu replied: "What I want to challenge is - multitasking."
"Okay, now please bring the props."
Two staff members pushed up a large wall with many blank boards on it. These boards were arranged very neatly. From a distance, they looked like mosaics, which was very unfriendly to people with trypophobia.
Yu Yongjian began to introduce the rules to everyone: "This wall is made up of 52 boards in total. These boards can be turned over. There is a playing card printed on the back of each board. There is a complete deck here, not including the big and small jokers. In a while, we will turn these boards over and let Student Qiao quickly remember the cards on the back..."
Atom Dimension interrupted him, "Excuse me, I have something to say. There are only 52 cards here. This challenge is too easy for Mr. Qiao, right? It's not difficult at all."
Yu Yongjian shook his head. "How is that possible? How could our program team come up with such a simple question? Of course there are other things. In a moment, Qiao will not only have to remember these 52 playing cards, but also... Please look at the big screen."
Yu Yongjian pointed to the huge screen behind him. Everyone's eyes followed his hand instantly. A large fingerprint suddenly appeared on the big screen. Under the fingerprint was written "Wang Yu", which looked like a person's name.
"Do you see the fingerprint on the screen? This is a real fingerprint provided by a volunteer. The volunteer's name is below, Wang Yu. As we all know, each of us has a different fingerprint. There are no two identical fingerprints in the world, and each fingerprint is composed of extremely complex patterns, which are very difficult to identify. If the public security bureau wants to conduct fingerprint matching, it must be done with the help of a computer, which shows how complicated it is. Wait a minute, 100 fingerprints will scroll on the big screen, along with the names of the volunteers corresponding to the fingerprints. Our classmate Qiao has to remember each fingerprint and its owner. Then, we will hide the name under the fingerprint and let classmate Qiao guess which volunteer it belongs to by looking at the fingerprint."
As soon as Yu Yongjian finished speaking, the whole room was in an uproar. Everyone even thought it was a bit ridiculous. That was a fingerprint. There was no pattern to follow. You had to remember every single line of it. A normal person couldn't even remember one fingerprint, let alone 100! That would be fine, but do we also have to remember the owner of each fingerprint?
What an international joke!
Ren Yuanyuan exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Yin Tianyou then said: "Yes, please don't embarrass my fans."
Liang Zhongqiu also kept shaking his head: "This is beyond the limits of human beings. It's better to let a computer do it."
Only Atomic Dimension did not express any opinion.
Yu Yongjian was very surprised. That was not right. Why didn’t Atom Dimension come out to find fault? This doesn't fit his personality.
Yu Yongjian looked at Yuan Ziwei, who looked calm, and asked, "Teacher Yuan, what do you think?"
Atom Wei paused, turned his gaze to the other three judges, and asked, "You all think that fingerprint memory is difficult, right?"
The three judges were unanimous in their opinion, “Yes, it’s too difficult!”
Atom Dimension continued, "But don't forget, there are 52 playing cards on the stage. That is to say, Qiao not only has to remember the fingerprints and the corresponding owners, but also the 52 cards at the same time. And each card has to remember the number and suit. Each deck of playing cards has four suits, 9 Arabic numerals and 4 letters. These... Qiao has to remember them all at the same time. This time... I really have nothing to say."
After his explanation, everyone finally understood. They thought it was difficult to remember fingerprints, but they didn't expect it to be much more than that. They had to remember fingerprints, the owner's name, and playing cards. This...
"Teacher Yu, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Yin Tianyou looked at Yu Yongjian in disbelief and asked.
I thought: This must be a mistake. Were the challenge projects of the two challengers mistakenly put together?
Yu Yongjian smiled and shook his head: "Absolutely right, the challenge project is like this. And..."
"And what?"
"Also, we need to distract Qiao from her homework while she's memorizing poker cards and fingerprints."
"What interference?"
"As we all know, when a person's brain is trying hard to remember something, the quieter the environment, the better it is. So, while Qiao is memorizing playing cards, fingerprints, and the names of volunteers, we will also play some music for her and let her listen to a song."
Yin Tianyou was speechless. "Why don't you just cover her eyes as well? Wouldn't that disturb her even more?"
"Yeah, that's impossible. We're on a brainpower competition show. If this happens, it will become a fantasy show, right?"
Ren Yuanyuan felt like she was listening to a fairy tale. She absolutely did not believe that anyone could do it.
At this time, Atom Dimension raised a very important question: "Then, how long will Qiao be given to remember? If the time is longer, it is not impossible to create a miracle."
Yu Yongjian raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Didn't I just say that?"
Everyone looked puzzled, "No."
They were very sure that Yu Yongjian did not mention the time limit, but only introduced the rules.
Yu Yongjian looked very innocent, with an expression that said, "Why don't you just listen to me?" But with a teasing smile on his face, he said, "Didn't I just say that I would play a song to disturb Qiao? Of course, it will only last for one song. When the song is over, the memorization time will be over."
"What?"
“…Did I hear wrongly?”
"I must be dreaming..."
Yin Tianyou was shocked, then his eyes rolled and he thought of a good idea. He suggested, "How about we play a longer song? Some songs can take an hour or two to finish."
Yu Yongjian immediately rejected his proposal, "Tianyou, don't think too much, we have already prepared the song, and it's yours."
"My song?" Although he was happy to play his song, the longest of his songs was only about 5 minutes, right? “My songs are all very short…”
"We will randomly select a song by Tianyou to play, and the duration will vary from 3 to 5 minutes."
Everyone was silent...
Yu Yongjian looked around the room and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Why is everyone silent? Teacher Yuan, come on, aren't you the strictest? Use your strict eyes to evaluate us."
Atom Dimension shook his head: "I can't be too strict this time. I don't think I'm that strict compared to you guys. After all, the fact that you guys can even come up with such a challenge really amazes me. This challenge sounds quite fantastic. It's not just within the scope of brainpower, it's a bit like a superpower."
He turned his gaze to Qiao Chu, looking at the girl who remained calm, and asked, "Student Qiao, are you sure you really want to challenge this project?"
Qiao Chu nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
"Well, I wish you success in your challenge, even though I'm not optimistic. However, if you succeed in your challenge, I'll make it clear that I will give you an unprecedented high score!"
Qiao Chu bowed to him respectfully: "Thank you, teacher."
"Okay, now that the rules have been explained clearly to everyone, please ask the three judges to give your predicted scores."
This challenge was unprecedentedly difficult. All three judges believed that it was impossible for humans to accomplish, so they all gave full marks, 5 points per person, for a total of 15 points.
"Is Qiao ready?"
"I'm ready."
"Okay, then please turn around and face away from the poker wall and the big screen. We will ask the staff to turn over the boards first."
Qiao Chu turned around obediently and waited for about ten minutes before hearing Yu Yongjian say, "It's ready. Qiao, listen to my command - the challenge begins!"
As soon as Yu Yongjian finished speaking, Qiao Chu turned around and faced the poker wall and the big screen. At the same time, a song sung by Yin Tianyou was played.
As soon as Yin Tianyou heard the prelude of the song, he collapsed and held his head. Oh my God, isn’t this luck too bad? It’s actually the shortest of all his songs! He seemed to remember that it was only 3 minutes and 5 seconds!
What should I do! He looked at Qiao Chu on the stage worriedly.
Qiao Chu's expression was very calm at this time, and her eyes moved back and forth between the poker wall and the big screen. Only one fingerprint can be displayed on the big screen at a time. It takes 3 minutes to display all 100 fingerprints. You can imagine how fast it is. On average, each fingerprint can only be displayed for 1.8 seconds.
1.8 seconds passed in the blink of an eye. If Qiao Chu blinked, he might miss a fingerprint.
This... is too difficult!
I dare not even dream of this kind of dream...
Everyone looked at the beautiful girl on the stage. Although they all thought it was impossible for her to accomplish the task, they still admired her courage and silently cheered for her in their hearts.
The three minutes passed quickly, and as soon as the singing stopped, Qiao Chu turned around and faced the poker wall and the big screen.
Yu Yongjian returned to the stage, looked at the judges, and asked, "What do the judges think now? Do you think Qiao can complete this challenge?"
The four judges rarely agreed and shook their heads at the same time. It was not that they did not believe in Qiao Chu's ability. Qiao Chu's excellence had already been demonstrated in the previous portrait drawing. It was just that this challenge was really unreliable and unscientific!
"Well, then let's verify whether Student Qiao has remembered it. Then... let Tianyou verify the poker wall first. You randomly select three wooden boards and ask Student Qiao to tell you the poker cards behind these three wooden boards."
"Okay." Yin Tianyou looked at the poker wall and thought carefully for a while, "I choose the fourth in the third row, the second in the sixth row, and the fifth in the second to last row."
"Okay, Tianyou has finished his selection. Now, please let Qiao answer."
As soon as Yu Yongjian finished speaking, Qiao Chu answered without hesitation or even thinking, "8 of hearts, 9 of clubs, and K of diamonds."
Everyone was shocked. Isn't this too fast? Don’t you even need to think about it?
You're not just talking nonsense, are you?
Yu Yongjian was also surprised, but after getting over his surprise, he still asked, "Is Qiao sure?"
"I am sure."
"Okay, now let's ask the scientific assistant to verify it."
The long-legged girl appeared again and turned over the three wooden boards that Yin Tianyou had just chosen, which were: 8 of hearts, 9 of clubs, and K of diamonds.
Exactly the same answer as Qiao Chu's.
“The answer is correct!”
"Great!" Yin Tianyou stood up from his seat excitedly and shouted happily to Qiao Chu: "Classmate Qiao, you are really great!"
Ren Yuanyuan was also very excited. This challenge was so exciting that it seemed as if she was also involved. When Qiao Chu was memorizing playing cards and fingerprints, she also unconsciously became nervous. When Qiao Chu got the answer right, she also felt a sense of accomplishment. She was completely immersed in it, "That's amazing!"
"Everyone, don't be too happy yet." Atom Dimension spoke again, he was stirring up trouble again, "Poker cards are a relatively easy part of this challenge. The hardest part of this challenge is remembering fingerprints and their corresponding owners. So, everyone, take it easy for a while."
"That's great. Let's leave the fingerprint verification part to Mr. Yuan. I have a remote control. Just press the button on it and the fingerprints on the big screen will keep scrolling. Press it again to pause. Then you will randomly draw three fingerprints and ask Qiao to say the names of their corresponding owners."
Yu Yongjian walked off the stage, came to Yuanziwei, and handed him the remote control.
Yuan Ziwei took the remote control, looked at Qiao Chu and asked, "Student Qiao, are you ready?"
"I'm ready."
"Then I'll start!"
He pressed the button decisively, and after a while, he pressed it again. A fingerprint stopped on the big screen, and the place where the name should be below was mosaiced.
Before Yu Yongjian asked, Qiao Chu gave the answer: "Wu Xiaoyu."
"So soon? Don't you need to think about it again, Qiao?"
Qiao Chu smiled and shook his head: "Don't think about it, this is the answer."
"Okay, show me your name!"
On the big screen, the mosaic above the name suddenly disappeared, revealing the volunteer corresponding to that fingerprint - Wu Xiaoyu.
"Wow-oh my god! She did it!"
"I must be dreaming!"
"Who is she? An alien?"
Everyone could only exclaim in amazement and applaud. They almost knelt down before her. It was truly amazing! It’s so addictive to watch!
Afterwards, Atom Dimension randomly selected two more fingerprints, and Qiao Chu answered them all correctly.
Atom Dimension was a little skeptical and chose a few more, but the result was the same. No matter how many he chose, Qiao Chu could answer them without any mistakes.
Yuan Ziwei stroked his forehead and was completely convinced. "Okay, I give up. I admit that there are geniuses in this world, and Qiao is a genius among geniuses. To be honest, Qiao, can you tell me how much you remembered? Or are you just lucky that the ones we picked happened to be the ones you remembered?"
Qiao Chu smiled confidently, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Yuan, I have memorized all of this. No matter what you choose, I will not be wrong!"
Wow——
The whole place was boiling with excitement. Everyone was very excited and applauded. Hundreds of people stood up at the same time and shouted wildly -
"Great God——"
"marvelous!"
“You are my idol!”
"Student Qiao, I love you——"
There were all kinds of shouts, but they were all expressions of admiration and praise for Qiao Chu. It was as if they had entered some crazy concert and the situation was gradually getting out of control.
Yu Yongjian quickly took the microphone to calm everyone down, "Please sit down, don't get excited, our show is still going on, please calm down!"
Everyone's emotions were still excited and even escalated. Some audience members had already started rushing towards the stage, wanting to get close to Qiao Chu.
The program crew immediately dispatched all staff to intercept the suspect, even the TV station’s security guards were dispatched. It took a lot of effort and almost half an hour to control the situation, and the program could finally continue filming.
Yu Yongjian wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to host the event with the microphone. "Student Qiao has succeeded in his challenge. Now, we would like to invite our scientist judge Yuan Ziwei to give the difficulty score."
"I have just promised that if Qiao can complete this challenge, I will give him an unprecedentedly high score. I am a man of my words."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on him, and they were all curious about what his so-called unprecedented high score was.
Yuan Ziwei approached the microphone, paused deliberately, whetting everyone's appetite, and said slowly: "I give Qiao a difficulty score of - a full score of 10!"
Wow—everyone was shocked!
Full marks? This is truly an unprecedented high score, because no contestant has ever received a perfect score!
Yu Yongjian was also a little excited at this moment. He raised his voice and said in a hurried tone: "Dear friends, a perfect score has appeared! The scientist judge Atom Dimension, who is known for being strict, ruthless and annoying, actually gave a perfect score! This is a historic moment. For the first time, a perfect difficulty score has appeared on the stage of our Strongest Brain!"
At the end, he almost roared: "Student Qiao, congratulations, you made history!"
In the end, Qiao Chu successfully advanced with a total score of 150 points.
Amidst everyone's applause and cheers, she bowed on the stage to express her gratitude. Then, he stepped onto the door of promotion.
