Chapter 648: Running and Answering
In this final, there were ten contestants.
There was only one part of the compet.i.tion, and all of them were fill-in-the-blank questions.
To add to the fun, the contestants would stand on a sliding track and run while answering.
In other words, this compet.i.tion tested not only the players’ intelligence, but also their physical strength.
The program team explained it this way— this was truly “Million Dollar Wisdom and Courage.”
In addition to wisdom, there must also be courage!
So, the runners were standing ready on the track in comfortable shoes, a buzzer answering machine in the middle at the front.
In the live stream room, everyone was already talking about the compet.i.tion.
[The program team’s operation is really crazy! Is this a way to run the contestants to death? But why am I so excited?!]
[I think the IQ of the contestants will be lowered if they run too hard!]
[Nice game! The program team is even better than I thought! How can they come up with such tricks?]
[I don’t know how long they’ll be able to do this, there’s a lot of weak students here! Is this gonna kill them?]
Of course, the program team was not so ruthless.
At the beginning, the track was at a mid-range speed, which was equivalent to jogging.
If one’s physical strength was not enough, one could adjust it to be a little slower.
However, if one’s speed was slow, one’s score would be reduced accordingly.
The score obtained at slow speed could be as little as one-third of that at a fast speed.
Therefore, the players would not slow down until the last moment.
They planned to get enough points early on and slow down later.
Regardless of what everyone had in mind, they had to do their best when they got on the track.
“Please listen to the first question: What material were the earliest tools used by humans made from?”
Ding!
“Stone!”
Immediately after the host’s words, the bell rang, and along with it the answer.
“Correct!”
In the live stream room, everyone was instantly excited.
[Wow! Sure enough, the first one is Sister Bei! Sister Bei is awesome!]
[Sister Bei is so great!]
[It’s just the first question. There are still a lot of questions left!]
[Oh, just wait for Sister Bei to hit you in the face!]
At the scene, the other contestants looked at Xia Xibei with more vigilance.
Xia Qinghan was running while being more aware.
She didn’t expect Xia Xibei to move so fast!
The question had only just come out when Xia Xibei rushed to the front with her long legs and s.n.a.t.c.hed the answer machine.
The others hadn’t even reacted yet!
Xia Xibei, who had answered correctly, returned to her original position and continued running with no change in her expression.
“Please listen to the second question: What age does ‘know the life of G.o.d’ refer to-”
Before the question was even finished, a ding was heard.
“Fifty years old!” a pleasant voice sounded.
It was Xia Xibei once again!
“Correct!”
“What are the seven heavenly bodies-”
Ding!
“Sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!”
“Correct!”
“The seven emotions refer to-”
Ding!
“Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire!”
“Correct!”
…
Fans, both live and in the live stream room, were dumbfounded.
Xia Xibei was too fast!
The host had just asked the question, and she was already rus.h.i.+ng up!
What a speed! Wasn’t she tired?!
And she got it all right!
The audience at the show applauded ecstatically after they got over their shock.
If not for what they said before, they might have stood up and screamed.
The expressions of the other players were also wonderful. Was Xia Xibei on drugs? Couldn’t she leave a little room for everyone else?!
