"If you believe in me, then do as I say."
Lin Han looked at the five scarabs calmly and said confidently.
If he can't do it, then you underestimate him, because he is a man with true vision, and he can do more than just rely on last-minute cramming and reading local rumors.
And he is quite capable, right?
"Yes! I believe you!" Xiaoxiang nodded slightly after hearing this and quickly wrote down the same answer on the paper.
Qin Xiangcao pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before writing down her answer.
Soon the time was up and everyone handed in their answers, waiting for the host to announce them.
"Then I will read out everyone's answers in order."
The host opened the papers one by one in order and read out the answers.
"First it was Lee Jones, and second the scarab was real."
"The second one is..."
"The seventh is Lin Han, the answer is..."
When the host saw Lin Han's answer, he was stunned for a moment and even rubbed his eyes with his hands, wondering if he had seen it wrong.
Because Lin Han has too many answers!
The people before him all chose one as their answer, but Lin Han chose more than one.
"Lin Han's answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
"Ah? Is he stupid? I can't even choose three answers. Is he really an appraiser?"
"Did you get through the first round by luck? You actually wrote such outrageous answers, and three of them were correct? What were you thinking?"
…
After hearing Lin Han's answer, the audience had the same thought as the host: they were shocked, and then they laughed at him, thinking that Lin Han was a jerk who didn't deserve to stand there.
But Lin Han closed his eyes calmly and remained indifferent.
However, some people thought differently from the audience. The three referees, including Dao Changqing, looked at Lin Han with admiration.
"What do you think? I think this guy is pretty good, right? How about making a bet with me? I think he will be the champion!"
Dao Changqing raised the corner of his mouth, looked at the other two people proudly and asked.
"No, old man. I have no interest in gambling. And I can't give you anything to gamble with."
"He is the only one who got the answer right now, but there are more than 20 people behind him. It's hard to say. But I won't bet with you."
The other two shook their heads and rejected Dao Changqing's proposal.
"The eighth one is Qin Xiangcao. Her answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
"Ninth is Xiaoxiang, her answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
Qin Xiangcao and Xiaoxiang's answers were the same as Lin Han's, but this did not cause much response.
Logically speaking, if a person chooses a very outrageous answer, others will not believe it. However, if someone else chooses the same answer later, others will be shocked and suspect that they are wrong and the other person is right.
But Qin Xiangcao and Xiaoxiang's choices were not shocking.
The reason is that they came here with Lin Han, and even now they are standing together, so it is reasonable for them to write the same answer.
So there is no need to be surprised.
Unless someone else gives the same answer as them later, that would be shocking and suspicious enough.
"The tenth one is Gao Tieshan, his answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
"What? Someone else has the same answer as them? Is that a coincidence?"
"The eleventh one is Fang Qinxue. Her answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
"This... This is impossible, right? Could it be that their answer is the truth?"
"The twelfth is Zhao Youqian. His answer is three, four, and five. All three scarabs are real!"
“This…this…”
More and more people gave the same answer as Lin Han, and the audience went from being surprised to shocked, to unbelievable, and even unable to utter a word.
After all, so many people’s answers are the same as Lin Han’s, which means that Lin Han’s answer is most likely true.
So how could those who didn't believe Lin Han at the beginning not be shocked?
Soon, the answers were announced, and there were a total of 9 people who had the same answer as Lin Han.
Apart from the ones Lin Han knew, there were only three foreigners.
If his answer was correct, then only nine of them would advance.
"Then please let the judge announce the correct answer!"
The host handed the microphone to Dao Changqing who stood up.
Dao Changqing walked to the blackboard and tore off the tape that was covering the answer.
The correct answer is 3, 4, 5!
"No way? That's really the answer? How did they choose those three? Amazing!"
"If you have any doubts about yourself, you won't make the right choice, right? They are too amazing!"
…
The audience has changed dramatically from their initial disdain for Lin Han to their current admiration for Lin Han and others.
But at this time Dao Changqing spoke.
He said: "It would be boring for me to explain the correct answer, so it would be better to let the contestants explain it. This can also help to see if the contestants are lucky."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Han and curled the corners of his mouth, which made Lin Han feel a chill down his spine.
Dao Changqing then said with a wicked smile: "Then please ask the first person who answered correctly to tell us what you chose?"
Lin Han could refuse. After all, no one forced him to say it. Just like when you choose the right answer by accident during an exam, no one requires you to understand it.
However, if you don't say anything, people will think you are lucky, which will lower your evaluation.
This old man gave him a difficult problem!
“First of all, the third scarab with feathers looks fake, but in fact the scarab is a symbol of the sun god, and the sun god has wings and bird feathers, so people at that time added bird wings to the scarab.
The fourth scarab has no special features and does not spread its wings. It is very ordinary, but this is also its highlight.
If you look closely, its shape is a bit like a heart. It is said that Osiris would put a person's heart on the scale and weigh it against the feather to decide whether the person would go to heaven or hell.
So people at that time would make the scarab into the shape of a heart and engrave the good deeds that the person had done in his or her lifetime on the bottom in the hope of going to heaven.
Finally, the fifth scarab is not a work of art, but it is also real. In the past, people would mummify scarabs and put them in the ears of the dead to help them answer questions before Osiris.
Lin Han talked incessantly about the information he had learned, and Dao Changqing listened with great interest, nodding his head in approval from time to time.
Finally, when Lin Han finished speaking, Dao Changqing nodded and looked at Lin Han, praising him:
"Yes, you are right. He is worthy of being the national champion this year. He is the real deal!"
"You are so kind!"
