Chapter 231 Tiebreaker! Blindfolded Archery!
The competition venue set up by the program team is quite large.
The four participants took turns scoring.
Each person has three arrows. The final ranking is based on the sum of the scores of each person's shots. The first place winner gets 1 minute to enter the mobile shop, and the next few people get 10 seconds less each time.
Xu Wang was the first to compete. He stood in his designated position, holding the bow in his left hand and skillfully picking up an arrow and nocking it on the bow with his right.
After the referee issues the instruction.
Xu Wang easily fired three arrows—whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!
"8 points! 8 points! 9 points!" The referee quickly announced Xu Wang's score based on the positions where the three arrows hit the target.
Xu Wang put down his bow and arrow with satisfaction; the score was already higher than he had predicted.
Xu Wang looked happily at Pei Yanchuan, who had been by his side the whole time.
"Very impressive." Pei Yanchuan smiled and clapped lightly.
[Wow, my wife is amazing! Is this talent? And this is only after two hours of practice! If she had two days, she'd get at least 30 points!]
[That's amazing! A complete beginner who just started learning archery shattered it so easily. (Crack! Crack!)]
[My wife is absolutely stunning.]
[The first person my wife looked at after the competition was President Pei! Time for some candy!]
[Why isn't my wife such a beautiful and capable woman? (Jealousy has distorted my very being.)]
[Upstairs! Be careful what you say!]
[Laughing out loud!]
……………………
The second to appear was Gu Yunlan. Gu Yunlan looked relaxed, and her archery posture was very standard, with the bow and arrow slowly bending.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
"10 points! 9 points! 10 points"
Gu Yunlan showed a hint of regret when she heard the score announced by the referee. She was just a little short of three points.
Gu Yunlan put down the bow in his hand, turned around sadly, hugged his wife's waist, and began to whine, "Wife..."
"Alright, alright, you've done very well. You'll always be the best in my heart." Qin Huai was already very used to coaxing Gu Yunlan; he could almost always coax her with his words.
Sure enough, as soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, Gu Yunlan, who was nestled in Qin Huai's arms, couldn't help but smile, his whole being radiating happiness.
[Actor Gu, please be mindful of your public image.]
[What kind of persona? Are you talking about the blond guy persona or the tough guy persona? (covers mouth and chuckles)]
[Haha, Gu Yingdi's golden retriever persona is now deeply ingrained in people's minds.]
[Gu, the movie star, whines: "I feel wronged." His sister-in-law pats him skillfully: "Baby, be good. You're the best."]
[Haha, my sister-in-law has really worked hard.]
……………………
The third person to take the stage was Xia Yu.
Xia Yu took a deep breath in Hou Yunqi's arms, then turned around and walked seriously towards his competition position.
Xia Yu strained her whole face as she drew the bow.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Xia Yu took a little longer to shoot these three arrows, but they exceeded his expectations, all of which hit the target.
After Xia Yu discovered this, even though he hadn't heard the score yet, he couldn't help but break into a big smile.
"5 points! 6 points! 8 points!"
When Xia Yu heard that he had scored 8 points, he couldn't help but jump up excitedly on the spot.
He put down his bow and arrow and excitedly rushed into Hou Yunqi's arms behind him: "Old Hou, did you hear that? I hit the 8-point ring. This is the first time I've ever hit a spot so close to the bullseye."
Hou Yunqi hugged Xia Yu and nodded firmly: "Mmm."
[Yuyu is amazing too!]
[Let's not worry about winning or losing for now. First of all, we've made progress, and a huge step forward! (Applause)]
(Applause) (Applause) (Applause)
[Now it all depends on Jiang Xiubai, the last contestant. Who will ultimately take first place?]
……………………
Yunxi was also very nervous at this moment, his hands clenched tightly in front of his chest.
Jiang Xiubai stood in the designated position indicated by the referee, rubbed his hands together, and took a deep breath.
Jiang Xiubai picked up the bow and arrow in front of him and, at the referee's instruction, quickly shot three arrows.
When the referee checked the scores, everyone looked over, curious about who would be in first place.
"10 points, 10 points..."
As Jiang Xiubai listened to the referee slowly announcing the scores, he couldn't help but stand there nervously.
"9 points!"
After the referee announced the last score, everyone was surprised because Jiang Xiubai and Gu Yunlan had actually tied.
[Wow! It's a tie! The director isn't going to have to sacrifice the time of two first-place finishers, is he?]
[Upstairs, do you think the director is such a generous person?]
[Haha, it really doesn't look like it.]
[The director urgently issued a cursing warning.]
[This is going to be fun! Extra round! Extra round! Extra round!]
……………………
The director hadn't expected the match to end in a tie. His mind raced, and he decided to let the two tied players decide on the tiebreaker.
Gu Yunlan and Jiang Xiubai both pondered for a while after hearing this.
"How about we try blindfolded archery?" Jiang Xiubai suggested first.
“Sure, I haven’t tried this before, it sounds interesting.” Gu Yunlan’s eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Xiubai’s suggestion.
Pei Yanchuan's expression changed for a fleeting moment when he heard their conversation, but it only lasted for a second.
Xu Wang noticed this keenly and gently tugged at Pei Yanchuan's hand.
Pei Yanchuan lowered his head slightly as he felt the movement in Xu Wang's hand, bringing his ear close to Xu Wang's mouth.
"Do you want to give it a try too?" Xu Wang's voice was soft, but clear.
Upon hearing Xu Wang's words, Pei Yanchuan couldn't help but turn to look at him, his expression seemingly saying, "How did you know?"
Xu Wang raised an eyebrow smugly: You tell me, isn't that right?
Pei Yanchuan hesitated for a second, then slowly nodded.
The moment the two were whispering to each other was captured on camera by a cameraman nearby.
[What are my wife and President Pei whispering about?]
[Is there anything a VIP like me can't hear? (Hmm?)]
[Cameraman, come closer! If you come closer, we can hear you clearly.]
Seeing that neither contestant had any objections, the director naturally wouldn't object either, and he readily agreed that this blindfolded archery competition would be a tiebreaker.
After Xu Wang saw that the others had finished their discussion, he quickly raised his hand to indicate that he had something else to say.
Everyone present turned to look at him at the same time.
"Director, can my CEO Pei participate in this competition as well? Don't worry, it won't count towards our scores and won't affect the final rankings."
When Pei Yanchuan heard Xu Wang mention my home, his eyes were fixed on him, and his heart raced instantly.
The director, of course, did not refuse after hearing Xu Wang's words. He agreed without any hesitation, and it was only a matter of ten minutes.
The production team found a clean, pure black strip of cloth on the spot.
Gu Yunlan was the first to appear. After fastening the cloth strip behind his head, he picked up the bow on the table, nocked an arrow, and fired three arrows in a very continuous manner.
The referee quickly checks the score.
"8 points! 9 points! 9 points!"
Wow! A chorus of "Wow!" erupted from the surrounding crowd!
Gu Yunlan was also very satisfied with his results. This was his first time shooting arrows blindfolded. He believed that if he could practice a few more times, he could consistently score three 9s, or even three 10s.
After Gu Yunlan finished shooting the arrow, Qin Huai took the initiative to walk behind him and help him untie the cloth strip.
Jiang Xiubai was the second to appear. He also wore a black cloth strip and successfully shot three arrows.
"9 points! 9 points! 9 points!"
Upon hearing the score, Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise, and he excitedly rushed towards Jiang Xiubai.
Before Jiang Xiubai could react, someone suddenly clung to him, and he instinctively hugged the person's leg.
"Jiang Xiubai, you're amazing! We're number one!" Yunxi exclaimed, cupping Jiang Xiubai's face in her hands.
Jiang Xiubai stared blankly as the person in his arms gradually turned hot, eventually becoming as hot as a boiled egg.
Wow~
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes, and Xia Yu, who was beside him, couldn't help but laugh and cup her face in her hands when she saw this scene.
[Haha, Yuyu finally got to eat Yunxi's candy.]
Wow~~~~~~
[Haha, Jiang Xiubai's face is so red! Help, it's visibly getting redder.]
Yunxi seemed to realize that something was wrong. He looked at Jiang Xiubai's flushed face and jumped off her the next second.
Yunxi covered his face, feeling as if his face was being scalded by boiling water.
When it was Pei Yanchuan's turn, Xu Wang took a black strip of cloth and carefully fastened it around his eyes.
Pei Yanchuan stood still and calmly drew his bow. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three arrows were fired in quick succession! Soon, all three arrows pierced the bullseye simultaneously.
