Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Everyone is Confused
As soon as they heard this, the entire audience exploded!
“God, has she gone mad? She’s choosing to continue the challenge! Even if a god came, getting all ten questions right would be impossible!”
“Exactly, there’s only one minute, even reading the answers directly might not be feasible!”
“Ten questions, only if none stop you would it be possible—but getting all ten right… haha…”
The host was also stunned, “Wang Qian, are you sure about this? You need to get all ten questions right with outside help to succeed in the challenge. I must say, such a thing has never happened in the many episodes we’ve aired.”
Hearing the host say that gave Wang Qian some doubts.
After all, she had impulsively chosen to continue, and now she was truly tempted to just give up.
But the problem was, Chen Ming, sitting opposite her, just had to provoke her!
“Don’t be a coward!” said Chen Ming, laughing, “Keep going, keep going! Don’t chicken out! I want to see how many questions your help can get right! How about this, if your help answers nine questions correctly, I’ll consider it my loss!”
Wang Qian bit her lip lightly.
The audience also joined in the ruckus, “Yes, yes, yes, don’t be scared! Just do it!” “Beat him, take first place!” “Come on!”
In the restaurant where Wang Hao was, diners sitting inside also watched the TV, their meals forgotten at this crucial moment, “My god, is this girl really choosing to challenge?” “All ten correct, how is that possible?” “Ah, she should just give up…”
“Miss Wang Qian,” the host whispered, “Do you choose to give up or…”
“I…” Wang Qian suddenly lifted her head, her eyes brimming with confidence again, “I choose to continue!”
“Great!” The host loudly cheered for her, then asked, “Miss Wang Qian, could you tell everyone why you chose to continue?”
“I don’t want to back down at the first setback,” Wang Qian, with a confident smile finally gracing her face, said, “I believe in the help I’ve chosen, they will definitely succeed!”
She actually had such confidence?
At this point, everyone’s face was filled with disbelief—the girl was overconfident, wasn’t she?
Even her classmates sitting in the audience exclaimed, “Little Qianqian actually chose to continue?!” “It’s over now, really over, five thousand bucks, sigh…”
Of course, regardless, she had made her choice, so what came next was to see if a miracle would happen!
“Let me preemptively wish Miss Wang Qian success!” The host got excited too, he stood beside Wang Qian, smiling, “Now, Miss Wang Qian, please start looking for your outside help—Is the help you mentioned just now really up to it?”
“It should… be okay,” Wang Qian wasn’t very sure herself, but she still found a phone number and dialed it.
The phone was picked up quickly, after three rings, a lazy voice came from the phone, the host hurriedly moved the microphone closer…
And then he regretted it…
“Little Qianqian,” the person on the phone asked cheerfully, “What made you think of calling your brother? Oh my, it’s been so long, come give your brother a kiss, miss me?”
Wang Qian instantly flushed red, the whole venue burst into laughter—
“Hahaha, this is too funny, who is this guy?”
“This jesting tone, can he really do it? Look at Chen Ming’s side, he has professors and teachers!”
“Exactly, you can tell this person is hopeless just by how he talks!”
“Little Brother Hao, don’t talk nonsense, it might affect her finding a boyfriend!” Wang Qian stomped her foot in annoyance and quickly responded, “I’ve encountered some trouble, there are some questions I can’t solve, can you help me take a look?” Being his little sister, Wang Qian knew exactly what kind of person Wang Hao was, so she simply hadn’t told him she was actually at a show…
“Questions you can’t answer?” Sure enough, Wang Hao on the phone asked curiously, “Are you taking the civil service exams? That’s not right, you can’t have phones during those exams, right? Plus, haven’t you graduated yet?”
“It’s an event organized by a club, a knowledge contest,” Wang Qian glanced at the host, whispering, “I can’t let him know I’m on a TV show set, or else who knows what he’d say…”
The host nodded, and then Wang Hao’s voice started running off at the mouth all over the broadcast hall.
“Quiz competition?” Wang Hao exclaimed, “You’re participating in such a LOW activity? Aren’t you studying comics? Not to criticize you, but wouldn’t it be better to spend this time drawing a couple more pictures than answering questions? Stuff to fool around with kids…”
The host turned green—you realize how high the ratings for this show are?! 1.2 percent!
Wang Qian retorted angrily, “Cut the crap! There’s prize money involved! Just tell me if you’re going to help or not!”
“Prize money?!” As soon as Wang Qian spoke, everyone on the scene could tell from the phone that Wang Hao’s eyes lit up, “How much? Remember to treat me to a meal if you win the prize money! Don’t be a cheapskate!”
The whole audience laughed so hard they ached—the guy hadn’t even started answering questions and he was already thinking about eating…
“Fine!” Wang Qian clenched her teeth and stomped her foot, “If I really win, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
“Alright,” you could tell from the phone that Wang Hao was chuckling, “Let’s start then, It’s been a long time since I’ve done this kind of thing. Today’s a good day to give my brain a workout.”
The host let out a long sigh, then gave Wang Qian a nod, and suddenly the big screen behind showed ten quiz questions. The host raised his right hand high and swung it down hard, “Begin!”
Wang Qian: “What do shrimps rely on to breathe?”
Wang Qian: “Can red medicine be used together with iodine?”
Wang Hao: “No, toxic substances will be produced.”
Wang Qian: “What is the largest muscle in the human body?”
Wang Hao: “The gluteus muscle.”
Wang Qian: “Why aren’t there any live ribbon fish sold in the market?”
Wang Hao: “The change in pressure is too great, so they die immediately.”
In one breath, four questions. The two of them asking and answering as if they had rehearsed it countless times before—there wasn’t even a moment of hesitation! Almost as soon as Wang Qian finished asking a question, Wang Hao had the answer ready!
The audience was utterly stunned—could this be real?!
And the questioning continued—
Wang Qian: “How many provinces does the Yellow River flow through?”
Wang Qian: “The continuous images seen in movies by people is due to?”
Wang Hao: “The phenomenon of visual persistence.”
Wang Qian: “Who proposed the mass-energy equivalence equation?”
Wang Hao: “Einstein.”
Wang Qian: “The image formed on the retina by the eye is?”
Wang Hao: “An inverted real image.”
Wang Qian: “What is the largest lymphatic organ in the human body?”
Wang Hao: “The spleen.”
Another quickfire round of five questions!
Everyone in the venue’s eyes popped out, jaws dropped to the floor—could this be real?! Was he really answering so smoothly?!
At that moment, fifty seconds had already passed in the minute; only eight seconds were left, for the last question. Could this person answer it?
