Chapter 96 First Round
The host on stage announced the format of the competition: "Next, I will announce the birth dates of the three people, and then the contestants will calculate four of the three birth dates: personality traits, family relationships, marital status, career development, health status, and overall fortune. Each correct answer will earn one point. If there are still other answers after the three people have answered all four questions correctly, they can be added to the additional questions. Each correct answer to the additional questions will add 2 points. The points will be added to the total score and can be used in the next few rounds of competition."
"Competition duration: 1 hour. Participants can submit their papers earlier. If the points are the same, the first submission time will be used as the elimination standard."
"I will now begin to announce the birth dates of the three candidates. Please listen carefully to the questions."
The host read out: "Male, born in 1956..."
The host read out the questions. Not only did the contestants in Group A who were participating in the competition listen attentively and write down their answers hurriedly, but even those who were not participating, such as Lin Zhixian, quickly took out their notebooks and wrote down the three birth dates.
Some people were also interested in calculating the birth dates of these three people, while others, like Lin Zhixian, just made a record and then closed their eyes to rest.
Calculating one's horoscope is a very mentally taxing task. She will be performing in the next match soon, and Lin Zhixian will not waste her energy at this time.
Time passed little by little, and after forty minutes, people started to hand in their papers one after another. However, not many people handed in their papers at this time, after all, there were still twenty minutes left, and those who had not finished had to hurry up and complete the basic questions. Those who had already completed the basic questions, as long as they had confidence in themselves or wanted to give it a try, would continue to calculate. As long as they answered one additional question correctly, they could get more points, ensuring that they would pass this round smoothly, and finally accumulate advantages for the subsequent competitions.
After 50 minutes, I had finished the basic questions. Those who were not confident about the additional questions did not want to delay any longer. After all, when the time came, those with the same score would be eliminated based on who handed in the paper later, and the later they handed in the paper, the more likely they would be eliminated.
Neither Chang Chunning nor Xu Hongmian handed in their papers early.
An hour passed quickly, and the host announced that the time was up. The remaining contestants stopped writing, and then the staff came down to collect the test papers row by row. They covered the names on the test papers in full view of the public and sent them to the judges' desk. After receiving the papers, the judges handed the correct answers to the staff, who posted them on the bulletin board outside the examination room. The contestants and the audience could go to the bulletin board to see the correct answers, so that the contestants would have an idea of how many points they could get. If they thought they were wrongly marked after the results came out, they could request a review.
As for the scoring results, they will be counted by dedicated staff after the judges have graded the papers. After completion, the results will be posted on the bulletin board, and participants can check the results on the bulletin board.
After Group A left, ten staff members quickly came on to clean and tidy up the examination room.
Chang Chunning and Xu Hongmian also returned to Lin Zhixian and Li Jinlun.
"I was so nervous." Xu Hongmian covered her chest, "My heart is still beating so fast."
"So how did you answer?" Li Jinlun asked.
"I don't know either." Xu Hongmian said with a bitter face.
Li Jinlun said: "Just now the host said that the answer will be posted on the bulletin board, why don't you go and take a look?"
Lin Zhixian said: "Why do you care if you answered correctly after the competition? You will know the result when it comes out. Why do you have to squeeze in with others and make yourself unhappy? Since you haven't seen the answer, just assume that you got all the answers right."
"That's true." Xu Hongmian felt that what Lin Zhixian said made a lot of sense: "I won't look at the answers. I'll just assume that I got them all right."
At least she was happy before the results came out.
Ten minutes later, the host announced the entry of Group B.
"It's our turn." Li Jinlun happened to be in Group B. He said to Lin Zhixian, "Junior Sister Lin, let's go in together and find seats together."
Seats are not assigned, you can find your own seat.
"Okay." Lin Zhixian was indifferent to this.
After the two entered, they found seats next to each other and sat down.
Lin Zhiya was sitting in the audience and could see Lin Zhixian below at a glance.
She was so beautiful and dressed so fashionably that even from such a distance, everyone still saw her at first sight.
Lin Zhiya bit her lip, feeling sad in her heart.
Even though Cheng Jiehua snatched Lin Deyu away, in fact, in terms of appearance, Sanxiangu is more beautiful than Cheng Jiehua.
It's just that Cheng Jiehua knows how to dress up, has been to school, and has a way with men, so she has a firm hold on Lin Deyu.
Sanxiangu had no talent for studying and had been learning fortune-telling from her father since she was a child. Naturally, she was not as knowledgeable and temperamental as Cheng Jiehua.
In addition, she had been worrying about family affairs since she was a child, and after getting married she was busy taking care of her sick father and the newly born Lin Zhixian. How could she have the time to dress up?
After the divorce, she was busy making a living and had even less time to dress up. She even wanted to dress herself up to look older so that people would be more convinced that she was asking herself to tell her fortune. Even though she looked prettier than Cheng Jiehua, she still looked rustic and old-fashioned.
Lin Zhixian inherited the beauty of the Three Fairies, and she is even better than them. She also knows how to dress better than the Three Fairies. Her natural beauty is even more evident. How could she not be dazzling?
Naturally, Lin Zhiya was envious and jealous.
It is the same competition format, except that the birth dates for assessment are no longer the previous three, but new birth dates.
An hour later, the Group B competition ended and the contestants left the competition after the papers were collected.
Lin Zhixian came out and soon saw the Three Fairies guarding the door.
"Mom." Lin Zhixian waved to the Three Fairies and ran quickly to her.
"How did you do in the exam?" Sanxiangu asked, pulling her aside.
"Not bad." Lin Zhixian looked at the sun. "It's almost noon now, right? Mom, let's go find something to eat first."
The three fairies were speechless.
The only one who still cares about food at this time is probably her heartless daughter.
"Junior Sister Lin, Li Jinlun." Xu Hongmian also waved her hand and called Lin Zhixian.
Lin Zhixian looked over and saw Chang Chunning and Xu Hongmian standing together, so he took Sanxiangu and Li Jinlun over.
"It's noon now, do you want to go eat together?" Lin Zhixian asked directly: "I plan to go down the mountain with my mother and find a place to eat."
It would have been fine if Lin Zhixian hadn't mentioned it, but when Xu Hongmian did, she felt her stomach growling.
"I'm hungry too, let's go eat." Xu Hongmian said.
Chang Chunning and Li Jinlun had no objections. After all, it was already noon.
"But there are places to eat on the mountain, why do we have to go down the mountain to eat?" Xu Hongmian was puzzled.
"The mountain is crowded and expensive." Lin Zhixian said, "Besides, we don't have any competitions coming up, and the organizers didn't ask us to stay here until all the competitions are over. Why do we have to stay up there? Let's go down the mountain and find a place to eat, drink tea, and rest. When the time is up, we can come back up to see the results."
