Chapter 222: 222: The Second Round of Compulsory Questions
Translator: 549690339
“The second round consists of 36 compulsory questions.
The question type is multiple-choice, with four options to choose from.
All members are required to participate in answering. A player will be randomly drawn by the pointer. The player can choose a type of question from the question bank that they are good at, or they can transfer the right to choose to any player who has not been eliminated on the field.
Each correct answer will accumulate 1 point, up to a maximum of 3 points;
A wrong answer will deduct 1 point, and those with 0 points will be eliminated.”
The old man in the grey robe announced the rules, paused for two seconds, and then spoke again:
“Those who reveal the answer will be eliminated directly, disregarding their score.”
The audience looked at each other nervously.
Bai Youwei scanned the crowd. Of all the people present, only a small half had accumulated points.
Her team and Yan Qingwen’s team had taken the lead. Due to the heavy participation in answering, even if they knew the answers, it was difficult to have the opportunity to answer.
The highest scorers were Pan Xiaoxin and Li Li, both had accumulated 3 points.
She and Yan Qingwen had 2 points.
Shen Mo and Zhu Shu had 1 point.
Those who remained, Tan Xiao, Chang Weicai, and Lun Ang, all had 0 points.
Over on Brother Fei’s side, about ten people also had 0 points.
These people would be the most at risk, as for the upcoming compulsory questions, if they were unable to answer, they had no points to deduct, and would be eliminated directly.
Bai Youwei frowned slightly.
Lun Ang was on Yan Qingwen’s side, she didn’t care about him. Chang Weicai was a teacher, so he should be able to answer compulsory questions. She was more worried about Tan Xiao.
But… Tan Xiao still had one puzzle piece that could be used to save himself at a critical time.
Bai Youwei asked the Inspector, “The rules stipulate that players must not reveal the answers. So, can we have a conversation?”
“You can.” The old man in the grey robe answered hoarsely, “You are free to talk, but… if the content of the conversation is determined by the system to be a hint or suggestion of the answer, you will also be eliminated.”
Thinking for a moment, Bai Youwei asked again, “What if I intentionally mislead others in the conversation?”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than someone incredulously exclaimed, “Damn, that’s mean!”
Almost everyone stared at her angrily.
Bai Youwei remained nonchalant, silently watching the Inspector.
The old man in the gray robe was silent for a moment, then responded, “Regardless of whether the answer is correct or not, it will all be considered by the system as a hint or suggestion.”
So whether the answer was true or false, as long as it was related to the answer, it couldn’t be mentioned.
“OK~ I got it.” Bai Youwei said casually, “We can start now.”
The grey-robed old man said, “Does anyone else have questions?”
Everyone looked at each other with dissatisfaction, but no one spoke.
No matter what was said at this point, it wouldn’t help. Even if they felt resentful, they could only submit!
Submit to the rules!
Submit the game!
Be a good puppet!
Submit!
The Inspector, high above, declared, “Then, the second round of compulsory questions, now, begins——”
The black pointer slowly began to spin, then sped up.
Faster.
Even faster.
Accelerating incessantly…
The Inspector stood at the pivot point, with the pointer spinning under his feet. His long robe was as if unaffected, laying quiet and still, like a stationary ghost.
The only sound heard throughout the field was the hissing of the stirring air.
Then the pointer began to slow down, reaching a peak of oppressive quietness!
The pointer passed Bai Youwei, number 5, 6, 7… 11, 12, 13…
Getting slower and slower.
16…
17…
The few people behind were wide-eyed, their pupils almost bloodshot!
The black pointer moved slowly past number 18, and finally stopped in front of number 19——
In an instant!
All the characters on the rectangular billboard lit up!
Dazzling red light!
“Player number 19, please choose a type of question.” The old man in the grey robe said in a hoarse and cold voice.
