Shanghai Radio and Television Building, Studio 21.
At this moment, there were already more than 300 audience members sitting in the broadcasting studio. There were cameras everywhere, and the staff were busy filming the program. On the stage at the front, there were small platforms on both sides. Behind the platforms stood a man and a woman.
The two of them looked very young, definitely not more than 25 years old. At this moment, the man had a relaxed and smug expression on his face. Victory was in his grasp. The girl was obviously nervous and kept taking deep breaths.
On the big screen behind the two of them, there were five big words-Knowledge Contest!
That’s right, this was the filming location of the recently very popular puzzle show, the Competition of Knowledge!
The host between the two of them was explaining to the audience the next segment of the competition.
”Dear audience members.” The host held the microphone and smiled.” Next, it’s the most important part of our game-the foreign aid competition!”
”The person on my left is our five-time champion, Student Chen Ming! Chen Ming studied at Shanghai Normal University and had a very rich knowledge base! Out of the 100 questions in today’s match, he had answered 95 of them correctly! And in the last segment, how many questions can the foreign aid he invited answer correctly?”
”Let’s wait and see!” The host paused and took a deep breath.
The entire place was silent, and everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
After about five seconds of silence, the host walked to Chen Ming’s side and asked with a smile,” Student Chen Ming, you only have one minute for this last segment. There are a total of ten questions. How many questions do you think the foreign aid you found can answer correctly?”
Chen Ming looked at the girl standing opposite him with a confident expression.” I think five questions should be enough,” he said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire venue was in an uproar!
”Five questions. If he really gets five questions right, he’ll only get a hundred questions right. It’s not easy!”
”That’s right. Wang Qian has answered four questions fewer than him. If his helper can answer five questions correctly, then Wang Qian will have to answer all of them correctly to win! This is simply an impossible mission!”
”This is really going to be difficult!”
It was no wonder that the audience was talking about it.
Chen Ming had 95 points and Wang Qian had 91 points.
If Chen Ming answered five questions correctly, the total score would be 100. As for the foreign aid that Wang Qian had found, they had to answer all ten questions correctly to win. And to be able to answer ten questions in one minute…that was obviously impossible!
”Good!” The host cheered loudly for Chen Ming. Then, he looked around the audience and said,”Then, let’s invite Student Chen Ming to look for foreign aid!” Who exactly is the external aid he is looking for?”
The entire studio instantly fell silent. Chen Ming took out his phone and frowned as he thought for a long time. Finally, he chose one of the numbers solemnly!
”Beep, beep, beep-“
The call went through. A middle-aged man’s voice sounded.” It’s Little Ming. What’s the matter?”
The host made a hush gesture, and the entire venue fell silent.
”Teacher Han.” Chen Ming said very politely,” I’m at the venue of the knowledge competition now. It’s the final segment to invite external help. Teacher Han, is it convenient for you now?”
”Oh, it’s this program. It’s not bad.” ” Let me prepare myself,” Teacher Han replied quickly.” Alright, let’s begin.”
”The external aid has been confirmed.” ” Let’s begin!” The emcee raised his right hand and waved it fiercely.” Let’s begin now!”
The screen instantly began a sixty-second countdown. Chen Ming quickly asked,
”What type of fast and high-resolution printer is it?”
”Laser.”
Chen Ming,[What is the driving force behind the world’s weather?]
”The sun.”
”What principles do gardeners often use to trim fruit trees?”
”…Pass.”
[1 light-year is approximately?]
”9.46 trillion kilometers.”
Chen Ming,[What shape will the pig’s tail take when it’s in a good mood?]
”…Pass.”
All ten questions were quickly asked. Everyone in the audience expressed their high respect for Teacher Han’s quick answers. At this time, the host said loudly,” Teacher Han’s knowledge is really profound. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t know any of these questions! Now, let’s see how accurate Teacher Han’s answer is!”
The big screen began to show the answers to ten questions. The first question was correct, the second question was correct, the third question was wrong, the fourth question was correct, the fifth question was wrong, the sixth question was wrong, the seventh question was correct, the eighth question was wrong, the ninth question was wrong, and the tenth question was correct!
Ten questions, all of them added up to be correct…exactly five!
”Thank you, thank you everyone!” At this time, it could basically be said that the outcome was decided. Chen Ming raised his hands high and paid tribute to the audience.” Thank you for your support. I’m the best!”
At this moment, Chen Ming had already answered exactly 100 questions correctly. On his opponent’s side, Wang Qian’s foreign aid had to answer all ten questions in order to surpass him and win!
However, even if Wang Qian found a god, how could he answer all ten questions?
”Wang Qian.” “Are you nervous?” the host asked Wang Qian with a smile.
” I’m nervous!” Wang Qian, who had a ponytail and looked very refreshing and cute, nodded fiercely.” I’m extremely nervous!”
”It’s my duty. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even be able to stand steadily.” “But you’d better think about it carefully. This is your last chance to challenge.” If you forfeit now, you will be the second place in this competition and will receive a prize of 5,000 yuan. If you choose to continue the challenge, you will receive a prize of 10,000 yuan if you win the championship. However, if you fail, you will not receive a single cent. Now, I would like to ask Student Wang Qian, are you sure…you want to continue the challenge?”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Wang Qian.
If she forfeited, she could get a bonus of 5,000 yuan right now. However, if he continued, he would lose everything if he failed.
Challenge or give up?
Wang Qian took a deep breath and looked around at the audience. Then, she looked at Chen Ming, who was standing opposite her, and saw the smug look on his face…
” I choose…” Wang Qian gritted her teeth.” Continue the challenge!”
