"Next, contestants, please write down your answers as soon as possible. The countdown begins!"
As soon as the heavy metal rock music stopped, the host quickly said. At the same time, the countdown sounded immediately, giving no time for the contestants to breathe.
Swish!
Chen Guang wrote down the answer C on the answer board at lightning speed, and then put it flat on his chest with a calm face.
In fact, he felt that his action was a little stupid and not handsome enough, but there was no other way. Everyone was like this, and he really could not think of any creative way to raise his paddle.
This competition was indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there were many masters. In addition to Chen Guang, there were about 30 or 40 people who wrote down their answers and raised their paddles immediately. Their speed was comparable to Chen Guang's.
It seemed that these people were also proficient in German, like Chen Guang. Even if it was hard to distinguish heavy metal rock, they could still distinguish it in an instant.
But the other contestants did not have this ability, and the time left for them was too short.
One after another, some people followed suit and raised their paddles, while others scratched their ears and cheeks, sweating profusely. In the end, they could only barely guess an answer before the ten-second deadline, and leave their hope to luck.
The rules of the competition seemed simple on the surface, but in fact, it was extremely cruel. There was no room for mistakes, and the thinking time was extremely short. It just so happened that they chose heavy metal rock, which was hard to distinguish.
Those who barely knew German could basically only rely on guessing.
If they answered incorrectly, they would be eliminated.
If they exceeded the time limit, they would be eliminated.
This was the highest stage in the world of linguistics. To be able to get on the stage of the finals, they must at least be proficient in each language they declared. There was no possibility of muddling through.
"Congratulations to the contestant who chose the answer C, the correct answer is C!"
With a whoosh, there were only 35 contestants left in the first group.
"Brother All-Rounder is really something! Just now, he seemed to choose C without thinking. "
"Could it be that he missed the question in advance?"
"Nonsense, although this competition is sponsored by Brother All-Rounder, he can't cheat under the eyes of the whole world, right? Wouldn't he lose his reputation if it was exposed? "
"Isn't he rich enough to bribe the organizing committee and the judges?"
"You're really thinking too much. I heard that it was a random selection from the question bank that was prepared temporarily. Even if the question was missed in advance, can you remember such a large question bank?"
"To be honest, why do I feel that memorizing questions is easier than mastering N languages?"
"Shut up, you haters. Which of the things he has done in the past were easy?"
"That's right. This is only the first question. Let's wait and see. Anyway, I don't think he needs to cheat. If he can cheat in a multiple-choice question like the preliminary round, what about the semi-finals and finals? At that time, it won't be a multiple-choice question. There will be a question-and-answer session, and there will even be a live composition. How can he cheat? "
There were all kinds of heated discussions in Chen Guang's bullet screen, but even though the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had exceeded 8 million, there was no situation of gifts exploding.
The viewers in front of their televisions were in a similar situation.
Although Chen Guang had been bragging on the Internet for a long time, he had never shown his talent in this area to the world before. This was especially true for the field of language, which was different from other fields that required time to accumulate. In the eyes of many people, language was the same as literature or history. It was a field that required time to accumulate. Just like doctors, the older they got, the better they got.
He was so young. What right did he have?
Of course, there were genius prodigies from time to time, but no prodigy would dabble in such a wide range like him.
Although others were geniuses, they still had to learn. You already knew so many things in the past. There was no reason you still had time to learn all kinds of languages!
You can't split a day's time into two or three days, can you?
In the program, a new paragraph of clear French was played. It was an excerpt from Flaubert's novel.
Just like the first question, Chen Guang still took less than a second to write down the answer on the answer board and raise his sign.
Among the remaining thirty-five people, thirty of them actually raised their placards within three seconds.
Only when the five of them had been working on it for nearly 10 seconds did they raise the sign in their hands shakily.
For this question, including Chen Guang, 32 people passed.
For the third question, the theme song of Slam Dunk in Japanese, 28 people passed.
The fourth question was a recording of an interview with Cristiano Ronaldo in Portuguese. Twenty-two people had passed!
For the fifth question, an Italian TV talk show, 17 people passed.
For the sixth question, Jay Chou's "Nunchaku" appeared, 13 people passed.
At this time, in the first round of preliminaries, among the 100 contestants in Chen Guang's group, there were 13 experts who knew at least six languages.
It should be noted that only contestants who didn't receive an invitation and signed up on their own could participate in the preliminaries!
The more powerful contestants in the semi-finals and the seeded contestants in the finals were still waiting for them.
The quality of the contestants in this competition was evident.
But this was not the most shocking thing. It was Chen Guang's performance all along.
From the beginning of the competition, no matter what language the question was, he was always the first to raise his sign at lightning speed. He never fell behind or hesitated!
Even his most staunch members of the anti- Chen Guang front, the boys from the School of Foreign Languages of Gokyo University, were completely confused.
This guy's performance was a bit scary.
There was only one explanation. There was a conspiracy!
"He passed the question! He must have passed the question! "
"His reaction is too fast! It's impossible! "
"This doesn't make sense!"
"I'm an Italian professional simultaneous interpreter. I'd like to say that his reaction is faster than mine."
"I'm a Portuguese simultaneous interpreter. I don't know what you guys think, but I think there's something fishy going on. I used to be a fan of Brother All-Rounder, and I've given him thousands of gifts in his live streaming room. But I really can't figure it out this time."
"To be honest, I'm very disappointed."
Chu Zijin looked at the rhythm of the bullet screen in Chen Guang's live streaming room, and then looked at this guy who was intoxicated in raising his sign at lightning speed. She felt a little anxious.
She began to have doubts.
But reason told her that it was impossible for Chen Guang to cheat.
How could a person who didn't even understand the rules of the competition a moment before the competition go to the question bank in advance?
He had been streaming playing games for the past few days!
Didn't people sleep?
You couldn't possibly play games in the day and memorize questions at night, right?
At this time, there were also people talking about this in the bullet screen.
"Didn't Brother All-Rounder not even understand the rules of the competition?"
"I think he's acting. He's deliberately putting up a smokescreen."
"That's right. He's the boss of the organizers. How could he not know the rules? Brother All-Rounder's acting is over. In order to become famous, he doesn't even care about his face."
"I don't care. I'm going to become a fan first."
"Get lost. I don't need you black fans."
"That's right. He used to stream so many times. So many people said this and that about him. When he lost, he would broadcast himself eating three pounds of sh * t. Now, I don't see a single one. There's still so much sh * t in the septic tank. Why don't you people learn from your mistakes?"
"Black fans? Come and try adding me on QQ. I'll let you see my top-up records! My LV22 was all from Brother All-Rounder's live streaming room! "
"Then you should understand. So far, Brother All-Rounder has never slapped you in the face."
"Forget it. You guys are already completely blind. Turn off the bullet screen to preserve your intelligence."
The argument in the bullet screen was getting more and more intense. Chu Zijin couldn't help but think to herself, Could Chen Guang be acting?
But was it necessary?
With his current fame, did he need to use such a despicable method to promote himself?
After all, this was a world-class competition. Now that the attention was so high, the consequences of a scandal would be so terrible that he wouldn't be able to bear it. He would definitely lose his reputation and become a street rat overnight.
Was it worth it?
Also, Chu Zijin had always been confident in her ability to read people. She really didn't think that she would be blind to admire and admire a thief who deceived the world.
Moreover, although Chen Guang's words sounded ridiculous, his eyes were incomparably clear when he spoke.
He was just that confident. It couldn't be faked!
But not everyone was so clear about Chen Guang's movements in the past two days. Even the third grandson, Gao Ya, and Sun Xiaoxun, who were far away in Gokyo University, were all silent.
Lin Jingwei said, "Brother Guang lost his composure. I really didn't expect him to be like this."
Gao Ya said, "This guy! Is winning or losing this competition really that important to him? No matter what, he wouldn't use this kind of method! The price is too high, and the risk is too high. "
Bai Fan said, "Maybe it's not convenient for him to say it out loud. Anyway, I think he must have his reasons. Otherwise, when he comes back, we can just pretend that we didn't pay attention to this matter."
Sun Xiaoxun said, "You … don't say that! Chen Guang isn't that kind of person! "
Xiong'er snorted. "But this is the truth in front of us! Really, when he asked us to help him sign up for the eight minor language elective courses, I felt that something was wrong. Brother Guang looks like he's been controlled by some evil force and has turned evil. Sigh, you guys just won't listen to me. I should've beaten him up a long time ago and he wouldn't have so many problems. I've heard before that people who are possessed by ghosts just need to be beaten up. "
Lin Jingwei said, "If you're good, you go. I'm not going."
Xiong'er shook his head. "Forget it. I can't beat him. I'm afraid of dying."
Tang Ying, who was in the City Hospital's office, slammed the table. "This guy is crazy! Is it worth it? You must maintain a decent image! If your image is damaged, won't the company be finished? "
Tang Ying hurriedly called Wu Tong. It seemed that there was no way to stop the preliminaries, but it was still not too late for Wu Tong to rush over to stop him. They couldn't let him use the same trick again in the semi-finals.
When the competition became more complicated, they would definitely be exposed!
But what made Tang Ying furious was that Wu Tong had actually returned to the Five Capital!
That girl didn't even inform me!
Also, she actually said something ridiculous like don't worry about Chen Guang. This guy has a trump card?
My trump card is your face!
This trump card of his was clearly cheating!
The audience and judges at the scene also looked at each other, speechless.
"This is simply a scandal in the academic world! If he wins like this, it's simply a disgrace! It's a disgrace to the academic world! Who was the one who missed the question?! "
The president of the Esperanto Association, an old scholar from Hungary, who had just arrived today, slammed the table and said.
"No wonder he dared to spout nonsense on the Internet. He must have planned it beforehand. Don't you think so, Mr. Huang?"
As a seeded player, Park Changnam, who didn't need to participate in the preliminaries, turned his head and said to Huang Changming, who wasn't far away.
Huang Changming's face turned red. "Nonsense! The Chinese make up less than 10% of the judges! The entire question bank is also a temporary arrangement, and it's completely confidential. To avoid taboo, the Chinese didn't even participate in setting the questions. What right do you have to defame us?! "
But Huang Changming's argument was useless. Not to mention these foreigners, even the Chinese language experts had changed sides.
