Faced with Fang Hong’s kind reminder, Lin Yi said, “Thank you for the reminder.”
He was not in a hurry, because the first round of points for answering was not high. There will be several rounds of intensified answering sessions later, with a total of sixteen questions, and each round of questions will increase the points as the difficulty of the questions increases.
When the fourth ingredient was served, Lin Yi glanced at it, and it was a green bitter gourd. Lin Yi is relieved that there is finally a normal food that is eaten by real people on Earth.
Everyone touched and tasted it for a while. Fang Hong beside Lin Yi even picked up the bitter melon in front of her and tasted it, her face instantly wrinkled because of the bitter taste in her mouth.
The audience who watched the program also used the real-life experience to taste it, and all of them complained.
Lin Yi didn’t like to eat bitter gourd when he was on Earth, and he was neither going to taste it nor answer the first round of questions, so he sat in his original position and didn’t move.
“Lin Yi doesn’t really understand anything so he doesn’t dare to answer?”
“It’s normal for a country bumpkin from a remote place like the Rare Star to not understand these things.”
Song Shu answered this question slowly after cutting a small piece of bitter gourd with a knife and fork to touch it to her lips.
The first round ended here, and the host Zhi Nao began to calculate the points obtained by everyone. Fang Hong got ten points, Xi Qingyu got ten points, Song Shu got twenty points, and Lin Yi got zero points.
They go directly to the second round, and the score in the second round will increase by five points compared with the first round, so each question will become fifteen points. The three questions were answered equally by Song Shu and Xi Qingyu. Lin Yi finally started to answer the questions this round, but he hesitated for a while before giving the answer: “I guess it is A.”
When Song Shu heard the word guess, she had a slight smile on her face. After the system announced that Lin Yi’s answer was correct, she thought that Lin Yi was just guessing right, and didn’t take it seriously.
The difficulty of answering the second round of questions has increased a lot, it is no longer a simple right or wrong judgment question, but a multiple-choice question. Fang Hong, who was beside Lin Yi, had already turned pale when she answered, but she was right anyway.
After the second round of answering, Lin Yi got fifteen points, Fang Hong twenty-five points, Xi Qingyu twenty-five points, and Song Shu thirty-five points.
The scores were directly displayed on the screen opposite of the guests in a histogram, and Lin Yi’s score was particularly short and eye-catching. Xi Qingyu and Song Shu who sat across from him looked determined to win.
When the questions entered the third round, the difficulty increased even more. Although it is still a multiple-choice question, the content is very obscure and uncommon.

Xi Qingyu chose to abstain, but Song Shu couldn’t say such a thing because she wanted to maintain appearances, so she could only answer two questions, one right and one wrong. Fang Hong answered wrong without any surprise.

Song Shu heard the word guess again on the opposite side, and this time she couldn’t hold back a chuckle.

Each question in this round is twenty points, so at the end of the round Lin Yi has thirty-five points, Fang Hong has thirty-five points, Xi Qingyu has thirty-five points, and Song Shu has fifty-five points.
“The score of the last round of questions will be increased to twenty-five points per question, but correspondingly, the difficulty of answering questions will increase again. The knowledge involved may be more extensive, so guests can apply for off-site help and ask their friends or relatives to answer the question. However, there is only one chance to do so, and if the person being asked for help cannot answer the question, ten points will be deducted, and if the answerer fails to answer the question, the question will be passed to the next guest to answer. It can be brief, but if you can’t answer at all, you will be deducted 10 points. Points will be given for incomplete answers.”
Fang Hong couldn’t help laughing and begging for mercy when she heard those words: “Oh my god, I’m done. It seems that my points will be deducted.”
Xi Qingyu also answered with a smile: “Who says no, I will definitely be deducted points for this round. It seems that among the four of us, only Song Shu can survive this round.”
A decent smile appeared on Song Shu’s face.
Now that the program has progressed, the audience outside the venue has also joined in, impatiently waiting for the host Zhi Nao to come up with the questions, and at the same time trembling with fright at the way of answering questions.
“This program gave me a sense of oppression like an exam. Damn… it reminds me of the mech operation class I failed last semester.”
This round was so difficult that it made people’s scalp tingle. Neither Fang Hong nor Xi Qingyu could fully answer the questions, and both of them used off-court help, but they only uttered a few marginal words during the guesswork. The system gave them five points each.
When it was Song Shu’s turn, she didn’t answer smoothly, she stuttered and didn’t get the full points, but she wasn’t deducted points either.
In the end, there was only one question left, and it was undoubtedly transferred to Lin Yi.
Since Lin Yi only guessed two questions before, everyone didn’t have too much expectation for him, and even looked at Lin Yi with the host Zhi Nao, feeling a little helpless.
Even Song Shu and Xi Qingyu looked at Lin Yi playfully, probably waiting for Lin Yi to make a fool of himself and be eliminated.
Before presiding over the brain’s questioning, Xi Qingyu said to Lin Yi in a reassuring manner: “Xiao Yi, if you can’t answer, don’t force yourself, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. We all understand your situation.”
Yin and Yang are strange.
Lin Yi looked at him with his chin lazily propped up, and asked, “What do you know?”
Xi Qingyu faced the camera and explained to the audience watching the show: “Xiao Yi only studied at the omega school of the Rare Star before, and everyone knows that sometimes the content taught by the omega school may be a bit biased. He has not received correct teaching. Therefore, I think it is understandable that he does not know a lot of common things, but being on the show is a contract that has already been signed, I hope everyone will forgive me.”
The audience outside the camera was immediately taken away by Xi Qingyu’s rhythm, and followed suit.
“Isn’t it because he hasn’t received the correct teaching, or he has such a cruel heart to harm others?”
“Being fans of Xi Qingyu and Song Shu, both of them are so gentle, this kind of person is the representative of omegas!”
Because of this conversation, even the host Zhi Nao turned to Lin Yi, and asked him, “Lin Yi, do you want to continue answering the questions?”
“Yes, I want to answer.” Lin Yi nodded.
Therefore, the host Zhi Nao reported the last question. After Song Shu and the others listened to the question, although they still kept a polite smile on their faces, they were relieved in their hearts. Fortunately, this kind of question was left at the end. Otherwise, she would have to face a situation where she has nothing to say. Now, Lin Yi will be alone in this ugliness.
Most of the audience didn’t even understand what the topic was, and were all dumbfounded.
Lin Yi didn’t open his mouth either. He seemed to be thinking. He paused for about thirty seconds. When everyone was thinking about what kind of excuses Lin Yi would use to rescue him, he suddenly spoke.
“This issue was covered in the June 1st issue of Earth and Us, a magazine affiliated to the Academy of Sciences ten years ago, but the discussion was loose. In short, Dr. Li Nian put forward the three points of view…”
Lin Yi’s voice was neither high nor low, and the speed of his speech was neither too fast nor too slow. He uttered every word clearly, as calm and orderly as a news broadcast.
Not only the audience in front of the camera, but also the host Zhi Nao and other guests in the studio were dumbfounded.
Some viewers began to speculate whether what Lin Yi just said was made up.
Another person said, “Even if it’s made up randomly, it does sound like that. I probably wouldn’t be able to make it up on this occasion…”
However, what really dropped everyone’s jaws was the resulting judgment from the host Zhi Nao.
“Very good!” Zhi Nao’s usually restrained tone suddenly rose, full of praise for Lin Yi, “The answer is absolutely correct.”
So far, Lin Yi has sixty points, Fang Hong and Xi Qingyu have forty points each, and Song Shu has fifty-five points.
And someone in the audience picked up that issue of the magazine, and found that what Lin Yi said earlier was indeed very similar to the content in the magazine. If there is any difference, he seems to have refined the content and used the words more accurately.
Even though most of the audience couldn’t get used to Lin Yi, they had to admit that Lin Yi was outstanding here.
“It’s too strong! If I have this ability to answer questions, I will walk sideways in school!”
However, there are also doubts.
“When it’s so difficult for others to answer, wouldn’t it be cheating for him to answer fluently?”
It is not only the audience outside the camera that has this idea, but also Song Shu who is in the studio. Song Shu was not really a gentle and kind person. She lived in a superior family environment since she was a child. In addition, she was not the heir of the family, so she was subject to few rules and restrictions. She was basically a domineering and arrogant noble lady.
The original expectation of Lin Yi’s distressed appearance not only did not appear, but overwhelmed Song Shu. The smile on her face could not be maintained any longer.
“You’re not cheating, are you?” Song Shu couldn’t help but say to Lin Yi. Her voice was not low, it instantly penetrated the entire studio, and when it reached Lin Yi’s ears, it also reached the ears of all the audience.
Lin Yi looked at her in surprise, and his tone dropped a little, “Do you think I co-operated with Zhi Nao to cheat?”
Lin Yi said in one sentence that the host’s intelligence brain was down, and the host’s mind immediately collapsed. He was obviously very unhappy when he said, “Mrs. Ye, all my judgments are objective and rigorous. If you have any questions, you can apply to test me.”
The artificial intelligence at the level of the presiding brain is limited in places where it can go, and there is almost no difference from humans. It is even more fair than humans in many ways.
Lin Yi’s image wasn’t good at this time, and he might not be pleasing to the public by directly arguing with Song Shu, so it’s better to hand over the blame to the host Zhi Nao and shift the focus of the conflict.
Song Shu also realized that she had made a slip of the tongue just now, her cheeks flushed slightly, she waved her hand and said, “Sorry, that’s not what I meant.”
This small episode immediately became a trending search on the Star Network, #Song Shu inquires about Lin Yi cheating#, which immediately attracted a large wave of viewers.
At this time, the link has already shut down, and a pre-recorded interactive video content of about ten minutes was inserted. The staff and guests in the studio were able to rest during these ten minutes.
Lin Yi stood up from his seat, walked to the outside glass window and looked out.
“Lin Yi.” A female voice came from behind him.
Lin Yi turned his head and saw at the end of the empty corridor, Song Shu was standing there in bright and delicate clothes. There was still some undiminished anger on her face.
“Is your gland injury healed?” Song Shu approached him with contemptuous eyes, “How does it feel to be an infertile omega?”
“Do you believe me when I say it’s not bad?” Lin Yi asked her calmly.
It is forbidden to turn on the audio and video recording function at the shooting location, so the conversation between the two can be undisguised, and there is no need for false expressions.
Seeing that Lin Yi dared to retort, Song Shu grabbed his arm and said in a cold voice, “If you’re smart, leave the Capital Star by yourself, or I can leave you with nothing at any time.”
Lin Yi’s eyes met Song Shu, and the sudden pressure on Song Shu made her feel a little uncomfortable. She frowned, just when she thought that Lin Yi would be agitated, Lin Yi just raised his hand, pushing her palm away, and whispered while Song Shu was slightly staggering: “I’ll wait and see.”
Mrs Ye, you don’t have that power, ah. It’s the people backing you who have it, and they can take it away at any moment.
Have to say, although the comments (me included) complain a lot, this actually a rather accurate depiction of human behavior. It’s nothing rare that our knowledge regresses by enormous amounts, or even actively working against what we once had achieved has also happened a lot.
The stupidest people shout the loudest, and the ignorant are dragged along. Unless they smarten up and question “the norm” nothing will change.
