Chapter 464 Huge Advantage
He Dong rubbed his eyes, looked at the four correct answers on the large screen, then glanced at Ye Fan's answer board, repeatedly sucking in several cold breaths.
A frog in a well !
Just… outrageous!!
"Let us… congratulate contestant Ye Fan. According to the competition rules, contestant Ye Fan's total time is 34.52 seconds. Contestant Jin Hao's total time is 107 minutes 42.35 seconds. The two contestants in the second round will continue to challenge based on this time."
At this moment, the large screen displayed the scenes from the four rest rooms.
No matter who saw this, they already had an answer in their hearts.
All contestants, including the four guest judges, had similar expressions, shock mixed with a bit of daze.
Ye Fan nodded towards He Dong, took a step and came to the edge of the stage, habitually gave a head pat, smiled gently: "Xiao Xi, your advantage is very large, just take it slow."
"…Mm."
Ning Xi glanced at the camera teacher not far away. The words of reminder were not spoken, tacitly approving Ye Fan's action.
Jin Hao walked to Zhao Fang's front, dejected , "Sorry, I tried my best!"
"It's fine."
At this moment, Zhao Fang had also come to terms with it. If it were him, he probably wouldn't have done much better. This didn't have much to do with performance; the hard strength difference was truly too great.
At the recording site, light music slowly sounded.
A star chart appeared on the large screen, large and small unknown planets shining within it. At a glance, there were at least several hundred planets in it, some large, some small.
He Dong raised his right hand high, "The second round of competition is about to begin. Contestants, please come to the challenge area."
Ning Xi turned her head to look at Ye Fan, smiled sweetly and softly, "Gege, it's my turn to go on stage."
"Don't feel pressured, keep up the good work."
"Mm."
After the two walked to their respective challenge areas, He Dong began to announce the detailed rules.
"Two contestants, please note: one minute of memorization time. After memorization ends, you can answer once per minute. Correct answer ends the challenge. Incorrect answer adds 5 minutes to the time. Second incorrect answer, the added time doubles, and so on; do you all understand?"
"Understood!"
"Understood."
Following He Dong's announcement, the competition officially began.
Compared to the plain-looking Zhao Fang, the natural and graceful Ning Xi was clearly more eye-catching. Although she wore a mask, making her appearance unclear, her quiet and beautiful temperament, as well as her petite and exquisite figure, were still striking, especially those eyes like a stream.
The camera teacher also knew how to do things, directly aimed the camera at Ning Xi's eyes, allowing everyone to see with incomparable clarity the planets reflected in these beautiful eyes, as if these planets originally belonged to these eyes, calming one's mind.
Just a pair of eyes made many male contestants' hearts flutter.
Figure, temperament, voice, etc., one couldn't find a single flaw. A proper treasure girl !
Just don't know what she actually looks like...
In the Xiatian (Summer) team's rest room.
Shen Li, Xia Jiuqi stared at the screen. The other three whispered among themselves.
"So curious what Ning Xi looks like, always feel she should be very beautiful."
"Hard to say, there are too many masked beauties these days. But, her temperament is really good!"
"Indeed, in my opinion, she probably doesn't look that good. If she was very beautiful, why wear a mask every day?"
Hearing these words, Xia Jiuqi's and Shen Li's reactions were identical. They slapped the table with displeased faces.
The three immediately shut up, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.
Shen Li narrowed her eyes, spoke clearly: "Ning Xi doesn't show her appearance simply because she doesn't want to be famous much. You don't need to guess around here."
"Doesn't want to be famous?
Wang Haoyu sneered sarcastically: "Are there still people who don't want to be famous these days? Do you take us for fools?"
Li Shan nodded, very much agreeing with Wang Haoyu's viewpoint, said: "Shen Li, we all know your relationship with Ning Xi, but you can't speak well of her like this, right? In this era of traffic, how could there be people unwilling to be famous?"
"Why not?"
Xia Jiuqi spoke before Shen Li. She had seen Ning Xi's true appearance. With a cold face, she glanced at the two, "Whether Ning Xi is beautiful or not, what necessary relationship does it have with you?"
As the team leader, Xia Jiuqi's deterrent power was completely not on the same level as Shen Li's. As soon as she spoke, Wang Haoyu and Li Shan both smiled sheepishly , dared not say anything more.
Shen Li sighed lightly, her hands slightly clenched.
The reason she was willing to withdraw from the competition was because Ning Xi was too outstanding, so outstanding that she couldn't see a sliver of hope for success. Someone belittling Ning Xi was also belittling her, naturally couldn't tolerate it.
...
One minute of memorization time passed in a flash.
The star chart on the large screen disappeared. The computer screens in front of Ning Xi and Zhao Fang lit up, but there was nothing on them.
Staff members put blindfolds and headphones on the two. He Dong, holding the elimination tool, picked and chose, finally found the elimination target: a blue planet in the bottom right. Because the overall tone of the star chart leaned towards blue, after this planet was eliminated, it looked extremely inconspicuous.
He Dong nodded with satisfaction, "Believe this answer should give the two contestants a bit of a headache."
After speaking, he nodded towards the two staff members. The staff members removed the blindfolds and headphones from the two.
"Ning Xi, Zhao Fang; after the competition begins, the star chart with the eliminated planet will appear on the screens in front of you. You need to use the paintbrush at hand to circle the correct area. Are you both ready?"
"Ready!"
The two responded in unison.
He Dong said: "Listen to my command. Three, two, one; "Myriad Stars" challenge begins!"
The large screen split into two, displaying the total time from the previous round starting to count. In comparison, Ning Xi's advantage was indeed extremely great. As long as she didn't mess around , obtaining the final victory was completely a sure thing !
Will Ning Xi mess around?
Naturally not!
As soon as the competition began, Ning Xi seriously observed the star chart on the screen before her. She looked very slowly, but very seriously, comparing the star chart before her with the one memorized in her mind, bit by bit.
The girl's method was a bit clumsy, but very reliable.
With such a large advantage, naturally, the most reliable method should be used.
In contrast, Zhao Fang was more aggressive. With the current situation, he could only fight for a sliver of life.
One minute passed. The star chart on the screens in front of the two disappeared.
Under He Dong's inquiry, Ning Xi chose to give up answering, while Zhao Fang chose to answer. The star chart reappeared on his screen. Hesitating for several seconds, he circled the answer he believed to be correct in his heart.
"Contestant Zhao Fang answered incorrectly, time increased by five minutes. Contestant Ning Xi gave up answering, time increased by five minutes. Second round of observation begins."
The star chart reappeared.
Time passed quickly, the second round of observation time was about to end.
Suddenly, Ning Xi's eyes lit up, ripples undulated at the corners of her lips. She murmured softly: "Found it!"
