Chapter 569: Chapter 569: Watch How My Sister Tornts You!
Due to the unequal number of mbers on Team J and Team Q, the system has decided that Team J may have two mbers compete again. The winning side will earn two thousand points, while the losing side will have five hundred points deducted.
Team J was very tempted.
That was two thousand points.
They had only saved up a little over three thousand points up to now; one small ga segnt could earn them two thousand—why not go for it?
More importantly, Team Q only had less than three hundred points left. If they lost this ga, they would be directly eliminated.
This was fantastic news for them—it ant they could eliminate the others without any effort.
Chen Manman pulled a few people together to discuss.
“We have two spots for repeating players, one of which I’ll take. Who among you feels confident?”
Guo Xing’s head shook like a rattle-drum.
“I better not, I’ve forgotten everything since graduating so long ago. Let Xuan take my place, isn’t he still an engineer? He definitely rembers a lot.”
Luo Xuan nodded, “Alright, let do it.”
Looking back, they saw Jiang Li and the others standing still, not even discussing a strategy.
Ai Xiaochun was sowhat smug, “They’re not planning to throw the ga, are they? They all look so out of ideas.”
Guo Xing stroked his chin, “This ga might indeed be too difficult for them.”
Even he thought those people were ignorant, after all, each one of them looked too good, took such good care of themselves—having such a superficial appearance indicated that they weren’t studious at all.
However, the online audience had been scoffing for several cycles already.
[LOL, Team J is already stepping onto their stage, little do they know they’ve just hit a wall this ti.]
[Let think this through, Sister Yue is from Qing University, Yu Li is the dean of traditional Chinese dicine—no need to comnt further on his education, he’s at the level of a leading young scientist, almost stepping into the academician ranks. Although Sister Li isn’t highly educated, she’s the King of Competition; who knows how many books she’s read or how much she knows. And Brother Jiang Cheng, needless to say, a high school student, still at his ntal peak. The slightly weaker ones would be Bai Lu and Jiang Yan.]
[But looking at it this way, Team Q doesn’t seem to have much of a chance either. If they can just get the hang of it with Bai Lu and Jiang Yan, they might be able to draw.]
[Let’s see how they perform.]
In the first round, Team J sent out Ai Xiaochun.
Because they had the initiative, this ti they could freely choose an opponent player.
Ai Xiaochun did not hesitate to choose Jiang Li.
She couldn’t outshine her in looks, couldn’t outdo her in cooking—she must be able to beat her in studying at least.
She would show Ah Xuan exactly what kind of woman she is—a pretty face with an empty brain.
However, the barrage on the live stream was completely opposite to Ai Xiaochun’s internal monologue—
[She’s done for.]
[Stupid woman, actually choosing Jiang Li, you’re done for.]
[LOL, look at how my sis will annihilate you haha.]
Team Q still didn’t show much response, only Bai Lu quietly encouraged Jiang Li.
“Lili, don’t be nervous, it’s okay if you lose.”
Jiang Li nodded and pressed the confirmation button on her watch.
The ga began.
[Please, player one, select a competition category.]
The knowledge quiz had many categories, such as Chinese, English, physics, dicine, astronomy, common knowledge… everything you could think of.
Ai Xiaochun didn’t show any courtesy to Jiang Li and directly chose her strongest subject, Chinese.
In high school, she had always been the top student in Chinese in her grade, and she chose Chinese Studies in college—this field was a piece of cake for her.
“I choose this one, do you object?”
Jiang Li shook her head lightly, “No objections.”
Ai Xiaochun: Heh, have you given up all hope already?
[Knowledge quiz is in buzzer mode, please buzz in after the “beep” to answer. Correct answers score one point, wrong answers score none, with a total of five questions. Contestants, please get ready.]
[The first question: What does the word “来” (lái) an in the phrase “夜来风雨声,花落知多少” (The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers have fallen)?]
The live stream audience was dumbfounded.
[Isn’t it, starting with such a high difficulty? I thought I’d have to answer the next line of ‘The sound of wind and rain at night’.]
[Is this hard? ‘来’ just ans ‘coming’ and ‘going’, right?]
Ai Xiaochun was quick to act; right after the beep, she pressed her watch.
“‘来’ is a temporal auxiliary word with no actual aning, and ‘夜来’ refers to the nightti.”
[The answer is correct, player one scores a point!]
Guo Xing yelled excitedly from behind, “Xiao Chun is aweso!”
As he spoke, he looked towards Luo Xuan, “I didn’t realize Xiao Chun knew so much.”
Luo Xuan smiled, “After all, she majored in this in college, it shouldn’t be a problem for her.”
The audience was also surprised.
[So that’s what the word ans. I’ve learned sothing new.]
[This Ai Xiaochun really has so real skill; I underestimated her before.]
Ai Xiaochun was also quite pleased with herself, “When I was in college, our teacher specifically explained this ancient poem, and there are actually many situations like this, for example in another one of Bai Juyi’s poems, ‘晚来天欲雪,能饮一杯无?’ (‘The evening brings the wish for snow, could one partake in a drink?’) The ‘晚来’ here also indicates nightti. You probably didn’t know that, but don’t worry, just take it as a bit of knowledge.”
Jiang Li didn’t show much expression, simply stating, “Can we speed this up? I’m in a hurry.”
Ai Xiaochun snorted, “Alright, I’ll get you eliminated quickly.”
The second question was a piece of general ancient literature knowledge, and Ai Xiaochun answered correctly.
The online opinion shifted instantly.
[Man, Ai Xiaochun is pretty impressive, she even got such a tough question right.]
[Of course, what’s Jiang Li but a re junior college graduate? How can she compare to a 211 University student?]
[Despite trying to set up this studious persona, she crashes when facing the real deal, doesn’t she?]
Jiang Cheng was getting impatient in the back.
Is this female devil up to it or not? If not, let him take over!
He certainly didn’t want to be eliminated like this!
[The third question, in ancient China, many objects had their own elegant nas. What do we refer to as ‘润笔’ (‘rùn bǐ’)?]
Ai Xiaochun’s face showed a hint of difficulty.
Rùn bǐ?
What is rùn bǐ?
An ink brush?
Although unsure, she buzzed in anyway.
“Ink brush.”
[The answer is incorrect.]
Ai Xiaochun’s heart skipped a beat.
But it didn’t matter, whatever she couldn’t answer, the opponent was even less likely to know.
What she didn’t expect was that the next second, Jiang Li would open her mouth, “Rùn bǐ refers to the action of soaking the brush in water, but later it generally referred to the remuneration offered for writing articles, calligraphy, or painting.”
In Daqi, she had earned quite a bit of rùn bǐ fees with her skilled brush writing.
[The answer is correct, player two scores a point!]
Ai Xiaochun was stunned.
She knew such an obscure piece of knowledge?!
She had to be guessing!
Despite her frustration, she quickly switched to the next question.
[The fourth question, please recite the preceding line of “茀厥丰草,种之黄茂” (The rampant grass grows thick and lush when sowed, turning yellow and flourishing).]
