Chapter 1013: Soft Persimmon
They realized that these 16 places were the tickets to the United States.
This game is not very friendly to the top 16 players.
If the previous round was a test of hand speed and quick response, with luck involved, then this round depends entirely on strength.
Because the questions were set by the organizing committee, they had to answer them all, and they had to do so in the shortest possible time. After the contestants ranked 17-50 had solved the questions, they would name a contestant they wanted to challenge. The challenged contestant would then compete with the challenger. If both contestants were correct, it would be a contest to see who solved the question first.
No one knows who among the contestants ranked 17-50 will choose to compete, but people always pick the weakest ones, so the contestants ranked 13 to 16 will obviously become the focus of selection for the following contestants.
The organizing committee asked the first question, and as soon as the question was asked, 34 people in the audience pressed the quick answer button.
"I choose to compete with 13 players."
When the Di family heard this, their backs straightened a little.
Ling Siqi can be said to be a hot figure in this competition. After various exposures in the gossip media, not only domestic but also foreign contestants know the story of this Cinderella.
Although Ling Siqi's becoming the Di family's young mistress was a foregone conclusion, she was inevitably envied. Many people wanted to see her fall.
Ling Siqi sat calmly on her throne, nodded slightly towards the 34 contestants, without a trace of panic or worry on her face, looking extremely calm.
On the other hand, No. 34 looked very competitive and wanted to be the best.
She didn't dare to challenge someone who answered 2 questions correctly, but she could challenge someone who answered 1 question correctly but ranked high.
She was very confident in herself. The reason she wasn't ranked high was simply because she was too cautious. But only she knew her own strength. So she had enough confidence to push the future wealthy lady out.
She knew she was the favorite in this competition. If she could beat her, she would be the one to get noticed. This was even more profitable than beating out the first place.
At that moment, the correct answer appeared on the LED screen. Contestant No. 34, who had been feeling a bit nervous, suddenly felt relieved.
She was the first of the 34 people to answer, and her answer was correct, so she didn't think Ling Siqi had the ability to answer it before her. She had observed Ling Siqi and although she had qualified in the first round, she hadn't qualified for any of the subsequent questions. And the first question was the easiest.
At this moment, contestant No. 34 seemed to have seen victory waving at her.
The host's voice rang out on the stage: "Now, let's see if the challenger's answer is correct."
Everyone held their breath, nervously staring at the LED screen. Little Baozi even chanted a spell to the west: "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!"
Di Yunxi looked at his son's nervous expression and couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, saying softly, "Be good, trust your mother. She must be the best."
The little boy was encouraged and nodded, but he didn't even look at his father. His big cute eyes almost stared a hole in the LED screen.
"correct!"
As the host announced the result, contestant No. 34 bowed proudly to the contestants below.
Professor Lu and the professor from the state university originally came here to compete with the expectation that two players from Country Z would make it into the top 50.
