Chapter 252: Disastrous Defeat

Zhou Chuanyi and Lin Zhixian whispered, "It seems that the organizers have made sufficient preparations this time. Even if we figure out the questions, with so many uncertainties, it will be difficult for us to get the answers in advance. We still have to rely on our strength to win."

"Isn't that great?" Lin Zhixian said with a smile, "We have no way of knowing the answer in advance, and neither can other people. It's like we're all standing at the same starting line. If we want to win at this time, we have to show our true strength."

Zhou Chuanyi thought so too. He turned around and looked at Lin Zhixian with a smile in his eyes: "Is this the reason why you said in the semi-finals that you calculated the questions in advance?"

Otherwise, if she didn't say it, who would know that she had figured out the competition questions in advance?

Lin Zhixian glanced at him and said, "Aren't you happy to see this happen?"

Zhou Chuanyi smiled and said, "I just can't stand some people."

Lin Deyu only initiated this competition, but it was the entire Xuanmen who was responsible for organizing it. However, he abused his power several times, which Zhou Chuanyi looked down on him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The time on the field passed by minute by minute. At the last minute, the host reminded: "There is only one minute left. The two contestants must quickly put the number cards of the three spectators in front of the objects with the backs turned up, so as not to miss the time to answer the questions. If you do, it will be considered that you have automatically given up."

Not long after the host finished speaking, Chang Chunning put away the turtle shell, then picked up the three number plates and came to the three items. According to the regulations, he turned the number plates of the three spectators over and placed them in front of the three items respectively.

"There's still half a minute left," the host reminded again.

Lin Zhiya hadn't finished counting yet, but time was running out and Chang Chunning had already answered, so she couldn't delay any longer. Finally, she gritted her teeth and placed the three number plates in front of the three items.

"Okay, ten minutes are up." The host pressed the clock, "The two contestants have answered on time. Now let's invite the three audience members back to the stage."

Under the gaze of the crowd, the three audience members returned to the stage.

Lin Zhixian looked over and saw that the first of the three was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance, the second was a plump housewife, and the third was a handsome young man in a suit and tie who looked very energetic. He was in sharp contrast to the first two and did not fit in.

The host did not introduce the three audience members in detail, but came to the table and said, "Let's see what Chang Chunning and Lin Zhiya calculated."

He first came to the eaten piece of bread and picked up Chang Chunning's blue number plate: "Number 3."

Then he picked up Lin Zhiya's red number plate: "Number 2."

"Wow, the results of the two people's calculations for the first object are completely different. That is to say, for this object alone, one of you must have scored zero points, or both of you must have scored zero points. What is the result?"

The host looked at Chang Chunning and Lin Zhiya: "Who do you think is right?"

Lin Zhiya said proudly: "Of course I am right."

Chang Chunning also nodded: "I believe in myself, too."

Next, Zhou Chuanyi asked Lin Zhixian: "Do you think Chang Chunning won or Lin Zhiya won?"

Lin Zhixian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do I even need to ask this? Of course, my Senior Brother Chang wins."

Zhou Chuanyi clicked his tongue twice and said nothing more.

The host smiled and said, "Please, the owner of this piece of bread, stand behind it."

Lin Zhiya's hopeful gaze fell on housewife No. 2, but it turned out that handsome man in a suit No. 3 walked behind the bread, and Lin Zhiya's face instantly turned pale.

She didn't calculate it right!

There were three questions with three answers. She got one wrong, which was equivalent to getting two wrong, so she lost.

No, she couldn't give up yet.

Lin Zhiya had to cheer up.

If Chang Chunning gets the next two questions wrong and she wins the next one, they will be tied.

Then she still has a chance.

Yes, she still has a chance.

Lin Zhiya told herself.

The host walked to the middle table, on which was a bottle of water.

"Let's see who owns this bottle of water." The host turned over Chang Chunning's number card as usual: "No. 2."

As expected, Lin Zhiya’s number plate was 3.

Ten minutes is too hasty to count three items.

Lin Zhiya only figured out the owner of the apple, and the remaining two had arrived before she knew the time, so she could only make judgments based on her life experience.

She originally thought that the handsome man in a suit No. 3 would choose to drink water, while the housewife No. 2 would choose to eat bread, but she didn't expect that they chose exactly the opposite answer.

"Chang Chunning scored three points for three questions, and Lin Zhiya scored one point. Congratulations to Chang Chunning for advancing to the winners' group, and Lin Zhiya will enter the losers' group." The host announced the results.

Chang Chunning smiled slightly, and his slightly dark face was very handsome.

Lin Zhiya's face was pale and her smile was forced.

Cheng Jiehua, who was seated at the table with relatives and friends below, had a face as dark as a pot, forming a sharp contrast with the smiling faces of the Three Fairies.

With a bad start, it is almost impossible for Lin Zhiya to win the championship today.

More importantly, as Lin Deyu's biological daughter, she was defeated by the unknown Chang Chunning, which was extremely embarrassing.

One can imagine how much anger Lin Deyu will be waiting for her when she returns.

But no one cares about these, because it is Group 2's turn next.

They also draw their questions from a spinning wheel and then have ten minutes to complete the game.

Although the first round will consist of six consecutive matches, the organizers are well prepared. Basically, each set of matches only takes 20 minutes, so a round of matches can be completed in just two hours, which actually does not take a lot of time.

Soon it was the turn of Group 4, Zhou Chuanyi and Peng Lai took the stage, and in the end Zhou Chuanyi won and entered the winners group.

After group 5 finished, it was the turn of group 6 consisting of Lin Zhixian and Zhang Ming.

When the host called their name, the two looked at each other, Zhang Ming stood up and extended his hand to Lin Zhixian, very politely: "Senior Sister Lin, please."

"Please come in, Senior Brother Zhang." Lin Zhixian also treated him politely, and finally the two of them went on stage together.

"You are the last group and the final winning group will be decided soon. Do you have confidence in yourselves?" the host interviewed them.

Lin Zhixian smiled and said, "You are not talking nonsense."

The host laughed: "It seems that you, Lin Zhixian, are full of confidence, but Zhang Ming's strength should not be underestimated. I advise you to be careful."

Zhang Ming said: "No matter what the result is, I will try my best."

The host said, "You are indeed full of youthful vigor. I envy you all. Now, please draw your own questions for today's competition."

Lin Zhixian and Zhang Ming came to the spinning lottery wheel and shook the lottery pointer, and soon drew their own questions.
