389: Chapter 390 Obtaining Virtue_1 389: Chapter 390 Obtaining Virtue_1 Jesus, does it have to be that startling and suspenseful?
Are you actually serious about the answer you ca up with?
Everyone seed a bit skeptical.
Although they weren’t professionals, they had studied couplets extensively and knew that Elder Ke’s given first line of the couplet was truly challenging to match!
Yet now, not even three minutes had passed, and Li Changlin claid he had already formulated a response.
Could this be a deliberate disruption?
Was he making noise on purpose because he couldn’t co up with a response, intending to ss with everyone else’s inspiration?
All five contestants looked doubtful as they stared at Li Changlin.
If this guy couldn’t answer or answered incorrectly, they certainly wouldn’t let it go; they would demand an explanation from Li Changlin.
“Contestant number ten, please speak.” The two hosts quickly caught on too.
The female host responded particularly fast, imdiately took the lead to ask, and even threw Li Changlin a coy glance, though it was unclear if he grasped her intention.
“Alright, my response to the first line is: ‘A book barely suffices for Han-era ink, imitating the calligraphy of the Forest of Pens.'” Li Changlin appeared quite calm, and as for the female host’s flirtatious glance, he simply chose to ignore it.
The female host, while sowhat attractive, simply could not compare to Qian Ziwei.
Even Xu Xin was much prettier than this female host.
And there was no need to even ntion Lin Ruonan.
So no matter how much the female host flirted or hinted, she couldn’t stir the slightest ripple in Li Changlin’s heart.
“A book barely suffices for Han-era ink, imitating the calligraphy of the Forest of Pens?”
After hearing Li Changlin’s reply, the five judges were slightly taken aback, while the two hosts and the five contestants sitting in the sa row as Li Changlin seed as if their minds had gone blank.
This second line appeared to be an excellent response; damn, how are you so brilliant?
Even though the audience wasn’t professional, they still had so insight into this matter.
At this mont, even without hearing the comnts from the five judges, so in the audience had already guessed the answer.
The response to the couplet was impeccable.
Whether in terms of artistic conception or subtlety, it was a perfect match!
“Damn, this second line can actually be read in reverse.”
“Tell , how did contestant number ten do this?”
“God of n, I want to have your babies!”
Among the audience, there were also experts.
Especially so professionals who couldn’t get on stage—through their explanations, many people had begun to grasp the aning of his response.
Thus, at that mont, many people started making noise.
Isn’t that just freaking aweso?
But why is contestant number ten so amazing?
If people had indeed been sowhat dubious about the fairness of the competition earlier, after listening to so professionals, they realized that the given first line of the couplet had existed for ten years already.
For such a long ti, no one had managed to co up with a response.
Yet, unexpectedly, Li Changlin had taken less than three minutes to accomplish what others couldn’t achieve in ten years.
That’s just so incredibly cool!
In the audience, many guys who had deliberately badmouthed Li Changlin were by now utterly silent.
It’s no wonder my girlfriend would scream about other guys being her male god when I’m not as handso and my literary skills are outclassed by miles!
It’s just a pitiful situation; seems like we brothers can only accept our fate!
Many of my fellow n seed utterly dejected; it’s so boring, life’s just too much of a letdown.
As for the petty thoughts of those people, Li Changlin couldn’t be bothered to care about them.
At this mont, he had already lifted his gaze to the judges.
The expressions of the five judges just now surprised him.
It was just a matching couplet after all, and even though Elder Ke seed like a big deal, co on, you are judges after all, can’t you be a little more professional?
Look at the brothers below; they’re in such harmony, unlike you guys who are constantly startled!
Li Changlin was unaware of Elder Ke’s promise to take disciples; otherwise, he would surely have been shocked as well.
Alright then, Li Changlin, now with the System, really didn’t care about taking on a master.
He knew his own situation; he was now a Quasi-God Prodigal-level personality and believed that sooner or later, he would beco a God-level Tycoon.
Even if it were Elder Ke, Li Changlin believed that, given ti, he could easily surpass him in a few years.
“Good, good, congratulations to contestant number four for successfully completing the couplet,” Elder Gu and the others were quite ticulous when it ca to responses.
Although they had all recognized Li Changlin’s answer in their hearts, due to the promise made by Elder Ke, Elder Gu and the panel quietly discussed for a while before finally giving their comnts.
Thus, Li Changlin’s response naturally had no issues.
And because of Elder Gu’s earlier promise, Li Changlin’s points were directly increased by two.
Now, Li Changlin alone already had four points, far outstripping the other five contestants behind him.
Afterward, the female host announced the continuation of the quick response round, and the female judge presented the seventh question, “Everyone, please listen carefully.
My couplet goes like this: Strolling around West Lake with a tin pot in hand, the tin pot falls into West Lake, a pity for the tin at Tin Lake.”
The couplet was quite clever, including West Lake, tin pot, and the word ‘pity,’ which sparked endless associations.
In order to maintain the integrity of the question, the female judge, like Elder Gu, repeated the couplet three tis and even explained the writing of several characters.
Since no visual objects were used to display the question, such explanations were an essential part of the process.
However, considering this was an event that the community enjoyed together, the judges’ ability to do this well fully reflected their character.
Seeing this, Li Changlin couldn’t help but admire them in his heart.
With a slight move in his heart, he prepared to grab the microphone to answer.
As his hand rested on the microphone, just as Li Changlin was about to speak, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that contestant number twelve to his right looked unexpectedly delighted.
Yet, that person seed to be struggling with sothing, as if they weren’t entirely sure of the answer in their mind.
Honestly, this didn’t have anything to do with Li Changlin at all, and he didn’t need to care what others thought; all he had to do was to answer the question well.
However, at this mont, for so reason, Li Changlin hesitated.
After all, his score was already quite high, and he should have been able to advance to the final round.
If he continued to answer like this, that would be fine, but it would be less interesting.
After all, Li Changlin knew that this kind of event was ant to be fun for everyone.
If he made the entire event his one-man show, it would seem sowhat aningless.
