Chapter 6: Overwhelming the Audience
Gu Beiming's words once again caused an uproar in the live broadcast room.
[This is the first time I've seen Xiao Ming speak in this tone. He's become a huge fanboy of his sister.]
[It can be seen that Xiao Ming really admires his sister. ]
[Wait, am I the only one who thinks Gu Beiming is bragging? Can they take first place?]
[With Chen Jiayan and Ye Ting here, how could it possibly be their turn?]
Gu Nansheng looks like a fairy. You can tell at first glance that she's not the type to work hard and study hard. And yet she got first place?
He's probably trying to imitate Chen Taining and establish a good younger brother persona, but if he tries too hard, it'll look fake.
Xu Bo was also shocked. Didn't he know how harsh netizens were these days? How dare he be so arrogant!
He turned his head to Gu Nansheng, trying to save the situation. "Ms. Gu Nansheng, my brother has such confidence in you. What do you think about this?"
Of course, Gu Nansheng knew that generally speaking, she should humbly say that Gu Beiming was just joking at this time, but why should she deny Gu Beiming's trust in her because of other people's opinions?
Besides, this is the fact.
Putting aside other competitions, she had never lost in this kind of quiz. She smiled and said, "Xiao Ming is right. I'm very confident in this challenge. I think we can take first place."
As soon as Gu Nansheng finished speaking, the cursing in the live broadcast room became louder.
[As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming both love to brag.]
[A half-full bottle of water makes a jingle. The less impressive a person is, the more confident he becomes.]
Xu Bo didn't know how to respond. Forget it, he couldn't save them, so let it be.
With this in mind, he announced, "Alright, everyone's probably waiting impatiently, so I won't say much. The competition will officially begin. There will be 20 questions in total. Please seize the opportunity, guests."
The staff then handed the question book to Xu Bo and distributed quick-answer buttons to each group of guests. Then the competition officially began.
Xu Bo was still the moderator, "First question, what is the water content in an egg?"
This question may not seem difficult at first glance, and eggs are a common thing. However, most people never observe the water content of eggs. For a moment, the guests who were originally full of confidence could not press the button.
Chen Jiayan's confident smile froze. What the hell? How could there be such a boring question? How could she just guess? But if she got the answer wrong, she would lose points.
Just as she was hesitating, the bell for answering questions rang. Everyone looked over and saw that it was Gu Nansheng who pressed the button.
[Gu Nansheng actually clicked it? If you answer incorrectly, you'll lose points.]
I don't believe she can answer this. I guess she saw that the other guests couldn't answer so she tried her luck.
[Just wait for their grades to turn negative.]
Xu Bo didn't care about it. Whether the answer was right or wrong, it was still interesting. "Ms. Gu, you say."
"The water content of eggs is about 70%." Gu Nansheng's voice was not loud, but it was very firm, without any hesitation.
Xu Bo was about to say "wrong", but when he lowered his head to confirm the answer, he saw 70% written on that column.
Gu Nansheng actually got the answer right! Could she really be as amazing as Gu Beiming said?
He chuckled, "If you answer correctly, the Gu family siblings team will get one point."
[What the hell? They actually got the answer right? Could it be that they weren't kidding?]
[Ahhh, Sister Xiaoming is so great, she got the first question right! ]
[It must have been pure luck.]
[What's the big deal if they guessed right once? Just wait and see them get embarrassed later.]
Chen Jiayan was stunned when she heard the result. Gu Nansheng actually answered the question that she didn’t know the answer to!
No, she must have guessed it right!
Thinking of this, she calmed down again and decided to pay full attention to the following questions and answers.
As for the other guests, they also cast surprised glances at Gu Nansheng, obviously they had not expected this.
Gu Nansheng, who answered the question correctly, looked indifferent, as if he had done something very simple.
On the contrary, Gu Beiming beside her had a look of pride on his face, and if you didn't know better you would think that he got the answer right.
Soon the test began again, but to everyone's surprise, Gu Nansheng did not give anyone else a chance for the next five questions.
As soon as the question was asked, Gu Nansheng pressed the bell without much thought and gave the correct answer without hesitation.
[This is a script, right? I don't believe there's really someone that powerful.]
[These five questions cover literature, biology, and chemistry. How did Gu Nansheng answer them all?]
[Back off, back off. I told you earlier that this was a whitewashing scenario for Gu Beiming. Maybe they felt that directly whitewashing Gu Beiming was too obvious, so they first created a top student persona for her sister.]
[He is indeed a top star with a strong backing. Even variety shows are promoting him.]
[I think you guys are so jealous. Do you really not allow others to have so much? ]
Compared to the netizens in the live broadcast room, the guests on the scene knew that this variety show had no script at all. They couldn't help but wonder who this Gu Nansheng was and how he could be so powerful?
Chen Jiayan tried her best to keep a smile on her face, but she was already gritting her teeth in her heart.
This can't go on any longer. Even if she doesn't know the answer, she can't let Gu Nansheng continue to perform.
After the initial shock, Xu Bo had become numb, and now it turned into surprise. The reversal caused by the Gu siblings will undoubtedly bring a lot of heat to the show.
Although his show intentionally creates conflict, he welcomes the popularity.
Xu Bo quickly continued to read the questions, "What family does the cabbage we often eat belong to?"
This time, Chen Jiayan pressed the button to answer the question the moment she finished speaking. Xu Bo naturally hoped that the other guests would perform well, so he smiled and said, "Ms. Chen, congratulations on getting the answer."
However, Chen Jiayan was so busy pressing the bell that she forgot to listen to the question. She could only smile awkwardly and pretend to think while hesitating for a long time.
Fortunately, Chen Taining was smart and had been paying attention to the question. He quickly stepped forward and quietly reminded her. Chen Jiayan happened to know the answer to this question, so she calmed down and forced a smile, saying, "If I remember correctly, it should be the Cruciferae family."
Xu Bo nodded and smiled. "Congratulations, you got the answer right. One point."
Next, Chen Jiayan continued to use her own strategy. Although there were cases where she could not answer the questions and was deducted points, she got more correct answers than wrong answers, and she got 2 points in total.
Ye Ting also understood that he couldn't leave any questions unanswered, so he grabbed a question and answered it, earning a point.
Seeing that Chen Jiayan finally stole the limelight from Gu Nansheng, there was cheering in the live broadcast room.
[Look at Jiayan. She thought for a while before answering. That's a normal human reaction, right?]
[It's normal to answer questions with both correct and incorrect answers. How can anyone get all the answers right? That's too fake.]
[Finally, I don't have to watch the production team write scripts to praise Gu Nansheng anymore. It's disgusting.]
Gu Nansheng naturally saw through Chen Jiayan's intention. She felt amused. She didn't expect that Chen Jiayan would kill 1,000 enemies and injure herself 800 in order to prevent her from being in the spotlight.
She had originally planned to stop competing with them once she got enough points for first place, but now others didn't want to give her a chance.
She turned around and handed the answer bell in her hand to Gu Beiming beside her, "Xiao Ming, take this. You don't need to worry about the question. As soon as the director finishes speaking, just press it. As for the answer, leave it to me."
Gu Beiming also saw that Chen Jiayan was deliberately targeting them, and he was already anxious. He nodded immediately after hearing Gu Nansheng's instructions and said, "Okay, sister, I've been playing games for more than ten years. You have to believe in my hand speed."
So the other guests had no chance to answer the next 8 questions, as they were all quickly snatched away by Gu Beiming, and then answered by Gu Nansheng without making any mistakes.
When Gu Nansheng read out the answer to the last question, "There are 206 bones in an adult's body," the first challenge was officially declared over. Gu Nansheng and his sister won first place with an absolute advantage of 13 points.
After a moment of silence, the live broadcast room became several times more lively.
[Oh my god, the Gu siblings actually took first place.]
[Just now, she said that they couldn't possibly take out the first place and get beaten. Sister Gu really slayed the whole audience.]
[Who just said that Gu Nansheng only has a pretty face? This guy is definitely a top student, okay?!]
As a fan, I used to think Xiaoming had a strong filter for his sister, but now it seems I'm the fool.
[Gu Beiming's fans above are really shameless. They've already hyped him up. Can't you guys see that this is a script?]
[There's really no limit to how much capital can support people. They can even write such a low-level script.]
Everyone at the scene was a little stunned. Gu Nansheng actually finished the game so quickly!
As for the guests, they were in even more complicated emotions at this time. After all, no one expected that Gu Beiming, a teenager who was rumored to have dropped out of school, would have such a powerful sister.
Song Shuyi was a carefree person to begin with, and he knew he had no chance of winning. He was the first to react and said with a smile, "Nan Sheng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. It seems you haven't yet fully exerted your strength."
Ye Ze and Ye Ting also reacted. Although Ye Ting was a little dissatisfied with not being able to show much, he always claimed to be a gentleman. "I admire you. Before the competition, I really didn't expect Miss Gu to be so knowledgeable. You can't judge a person by appearance."
Chen Jiayan also knew that she had to express her feelings, so she forced a smile and said, "I really didn't expect Sister Gu to be so capable. There really is always someone better than you."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Gu Beiming, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You're the only one who didn't expect that. I told you my sister would definitely take first place."
Seeing Gu Beiming's arrogant look, the barrage of comments started to spray again.
[Hilarious! Why is Gu Beiming acting like a mad fan of his sister?]
[He's really gone from being a cool guy to being his sister's fanboy. It's hilarious.]
[It's really disgusting. It's clearly a cheating script, but the fans and the fans are not ashamed of it, but proud of it.]
【Everything requires evidence. If you don’t have evidence, don’t talk nonsense. 】
Gu Nansheng felt a little amused when she saw Gu Beiming's expression. After five years away, her arrogant brother really hadn't changed at all.
In the past, whenever she won an award or ranked first in an exam, he would show off her transcript and certificates around the building.
With a younger brother stirring up hatred, Gu Nansheng decided to be more modest. "I just like to read a lot of different types of books. It's not worth mentioning."
The results of the competition were very clear, and the guests accepted the houses they won.
Gu Nansheng and Gu Beiming, who came in first, naturally got the best sea view villa. Chen Jiayan and Chen Taining, who came in second, got a two-story house by the sea. The Ye brothers, who came in third, got an ordinary house. As for Song Shuyi and Luo Qingyu, who came in last, unfortunately they could only live in a small shabby house by the sea.
After a long day of traveling and having racked their brains, everyone took their keys and planned to go back to their rooms to rest.
Chen Jiayan deliberately walked behind everyone where the camera couldn't capture her. At this moment, she took off her usual smile and looked gloomy.
Unexpectedly, this first challenge turned out to be Gu Nansheng’s personal show, and her limelight was completely overshadowed by Gu Nansheng!
She couldn't help but look at Gu Nansheng, with indelible hostility in her eyes.
There is a long way to go, let’s just wait and see!
