Chu Zijin stared at Chen Guang with her eyes and mouth wide open. She was speechless for a long time.
She was stunned.
She felt that as a genius, she did not care about anything. Live broadcasting was just for fun, and she did not like to communicate with the comments online. She was probably considered a relatively arrogant and maverick person.
When Chen Guang appeared, she quickly became a fan of Chen Guang. It was also because she felt that he was a bit like her, and he was even more monstrous than her.
When she saw the bad news about him on the Internet, she used the pen name Chu He Hanjie to write articles to defend him.
In order to write articles related to him, Chu Zijin spent a lot of time looking for clues related to him on the Internet. She organized the things he had done in the past and thought that she had a good understanding of this person's character.
But after interacting with him for a few days, although it was not a long time, in Chu Zijin's heart, Chen Guang's image and character could be said to have changed dramatically.
Of course, he fell from the sky to the ground in an instant.
It was undeniable that this person was indeed very talented.
But there were times when he was simply unreasonable, like a child.
She had to say something good about him. His mental state could be called overconfidence. To put it bluntly, it was ignorant, inexplicable, and ridiculously childish.
She was quite disappointed.
At first, she really thought that he had enough real talent to support a considerable degree of competitiveness in this competition.
But as time went on, Chu Zijin's thoughts gradually changed.
When someone said that Chen Guang cheated, she would not believe it.
When some people said that Chen Guang cheated, she was shaken.
When the whole world said that Chen Guang cheated, not only did he not give any explanation, but he also became more and more unreasonable. When he crushed all his opponents in the competition, she gradually accepted this statement in her heart.
Although she did not realize it herself, and did not think that she had been shaken, she still did her best to complete her work as a host, and even now, she was worried for Chen Guang.
Deep in her heart, she didn't want to see Chen Guang suffer, but in this matter, deep in her heart, she had indeed acknowledged Chen Guang's cheating.
But now, he actually said that he wanted to debate with 92 people at the same time?
Are you kidding me?
This was a competition watched by the entire world, not a child's play!
Why can you do whatever you want?
How could you trample on the rules of the competition like that?
I don't care, but what right do you have to make the other contestants go crazy with you?
Aren't you humiliating me?
Besides, where did you get your confidence from?
At this time, the female host on the other side had already finished the opening remarks of the final and was ready to announce that the competition had begun to enter the random drawing stage.
In this round of drawing lots, two contestants would be randomly chosen to fight against each other.
First, the two contestants had to report how many languages they knew and complete a question-and-answer session with the judges. Then, they would debate on the overlapping languages they knew. The judges would analyze their mastery of the overlapping languages based on their performance in the debate and grade them accordingly.
Finally, the various performances of the contestants were taken into account and the final score was compared. The contestant with the lowest score would be eliminated.
It sounded complicated, but the principle was actually very simple.
The more proficient one was in using a language, the faster one's thinking would be when communicating with others.
For example, when Chinese people argued with others in Chinese, the smarter ones could argue for ten minutes without repeating the same language.
But for the same person, even if he had passed CET-10 in English, he would still be unable to think of new words to argue with his international friends in English. He would even often get stuck in his own language.
For such a high-level competition, it was naturally impossible to use the method of shouting and cursing. Therefore, the judges would appoint a debate topic at the last minute and let the two contestants debate on the spot. Moreover, the judges would suddenly ask for a change of language during the debate.
At this time, the contestants' vocabulary, proficiency in using language, and the depth of their language mastery would show obvious differences.
For example, in Chinese language, "You are so stupid" was much more cultured than "You idiot"; "Your mother is here" was much more accented than directly saying that someone's mother was dead.
Similar situations existed not only in Chinese, but in other languages as well, achieving the same result through different means.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next, we will use the method of drawing lots on the spot to select the first group of PK contestants. In order to strive for fairness, this round of the finals will use the method of drawing lots. Now, there were two transparent glass boxes, which contained ping-pong balls numbered one to ninety-three. The method of drawing lots is to take out the table tennis balls from the first box first, and then from the second box. If the numbers of the two table tennis balls are not the same, the two contestants will be invited to the stage for PK. If the numbers of the two table tennis balls are the same, a new number will be drawn from the second box. If the number in the first box belongs to the contestant who has already competed, a new number will be drawn. Next, let's welcome the president of the Chinese Language Association, Huang … "
With a stiff smile on his face, Huang Changming stood up from the VIP seats and walked to the stage step by step.
He really wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. He would come out 30 years later to embarrass himself.
But he had no choice. He was the head of the competition organizer, and he had to stand up. He even had to pretend to be very happy with a smile on his face.
This last-minute decision to use the table tennis lottery, which was similar to the National Lottery, was also his "deathbed struggle." Until now, he still did not know how Chen Guang had done it.
But when it comes to a computer program, no matter how magnanimous you are, the results will always be criticized by others. I'm using a table tennis ball to draw lots live under the eyes of the whole world's audience. I can't possibly make a mistake, right?
You can't say that Chen Guang bribed all the other 92 contestants, can you?
Everyone was here for the 100 million grand prize. They were all strong and confident that they had a good chance. It was impossible to bribe all 92 contestants!
At this time, a loud voice suddenly came from the stage.
"Wait a minute! I have something to say! "
Everyone, including the host, turned their eyes to the source of the voice. Huang Changming's legs trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.
The camera under the control of the director shook, and finally, it seemed to be very reluctant to turn around.
There were up to 20 million viewers in Bamboo's live broadcast room, and nearly 100 million viewers in all the channels around the world. They all looked at the face on the computer or mobile phone screen, and a huge question mark suddenly appeared in their minds.
You seem to be making me laugh!
Chu Zijin, who was standing next to Chen Guang, silently covered her face with her hands. He really did it!
So embarrassing, so shameful. Stay away from him, and don't let others find out that I am familiar with him.
Yue Hong and the others below the stage wailed in unison. Boss Chen was going to do something, something big.
Huang Changming was really about to cry.
Big brother, at this time, what do you want to do?
"Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?"
Huang Changming cautiously asked.
Chen Guang smiled, "I think it's too troublesome."
"Ah? Too troublesome? "Huang Changming and the host asked together.
Chen Guang nodded, "Yes!"
If it was any other contestant who interrupted the normal drawing process in public, the judges could immediately announce that he was disqualified and send him to the plane.
But Chen Guang was different. Apart from the fact that he was the sponsor of the competition, he was almost the focus of all the topics and attention of the entire World Language Society. He was a very special existence.
Yesterday, he had also flipped out in public, and the judges knew how powerful he was. If they said that they wanted to disqualify him, he would directly withdraw his investment and break up. Who could they find to reason with?
Wait, he felt that it was too troublesome. Could it be that he finally thought that he had enough and wanted to withdraw from the competition?
Huang Changming's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that it was not impossible.
Of course, he knew that the matter had become like this. Whether Chen Guang withdrew from the competition or not, it would not help his own reputation, but it was a great thing for him!
Huang Changming tentatively asked, "Mr. Chen, then what is your plan?"
At this moment, the other experts and scholars, including the president of the World Language Society, also thought of this point.
Although they wanted to see him embarrass himself in the competition, this was also the highest academic forum of the World Language Society. It was already tragic enough that he had caused such a farce. It might not be a good thing for him to turn into a bomb on the competition stage and detonate it.
Therefore, they did not stand up to question him and allowed Chen Guang to interrupt him.
As for the other participants, they wanted to humiliate Chen Guang when they encountered him. However, when they thought about how they still had to collect the prize money from him, they decided to endure it for now. Even if they wanted to scold him, they could only do so after the competition ended and collect the prize money.
However, there were always people who did not believe it. For example, Park Changnam was the first to jump out and said in standard Mandarin, "Chen Guang! Have you had enough?! "
Although others were unhappy with Chen Guang, they would still give him some face. However, Park Changnam, who had a bet with him, did not have such thoughts at all.
At this point, it was impossible for Chen Guang to do anything to him.
He also wanted the competition to start quickly. It would be best if he and Chen Guang were drawn together so that he could humiliate him.
In addition to being able to easily move forward in the elimination mode finals, more importantly, he would be able to chase away this clown who had tarnished the academic world. He would then become a hero who defended the dignity of the international language world.
Butler Guy also jumped out. "That's right, you're disrupting the competition! I think there's no need to draw lots for the first group. It'll just be you and me. Chen Guang, do you dare? "
Chen Guang was stunned at first, then he grinned. "You're asking me if I dare? Of course I dare! However, may I ask the judges if we can challenge someone in the finals like this? "
The judges were stunned at first, and then they started whispering to each other.
"I don't think I've encountered such a thing before."
"There has never been such a crazy person like Chen Guang in the past."
"What do we do now? The rules didn't explicitly mention this issue. "
"Everyone, I think we can agree to Butler's request. Butler Guy isn't someone that can be bribed. He's someone that has hopes of winning the championship. Since Chen Guang has no intention of withdrawing from the competition, why don't we let Butler face him and make him lose? Even if the preliminaries and semi-finals will damage our reputation, at least we'll be able to defend the dignity of academics in the finals. Wouldn't it be better for us to let the Chinese Language Association take the blame? "
It was the old president of the World Language Association who had such ideas.
After some discussion, the old president of the World Language Association personally made the decision and said loudly, "After our emergency discussion, we have decided that, with the consent of both parties, the contestants can choose their opponents and initiate a challenge."
There was an uproar in the audience.
This kind of competition system was, of course, unreasonable. It was simply a breeding ground for shady dealings.
But it didn't matter. In order to get Chen Guang out of the competition as soon as possible, it was not a big deal to change the rules temporarily.
Anyway, before today, other contestants would not have thought of this temporary challenge rule, and certainly would not have discussed it in advance. Moreover, everyone knew how troublesome this year's World Language Association was. They all understood the reason why the jury agreed to challenge the rules. They just wanted to watch the fun, and no one would really jump into the muddy water.
Hearing this, Chen Guang suddenly clapped his hands. "Good!"
"What do you mean?"
The old president of the World Language Association was stunned at first.
Butler also felt that something was wrong. Why did this guy seem so happy?
Also, what did you mean by 'good'?
Did you agree?
Chen Guang took a step forward and said loudly, "I just said it was too troublesome because I think this kind of round after round of elimination takes too long, too troublesome, too boring. Since the rules now allow the challenge mode, it's convenient. Not only will I accept Butler Guy's challenge, but I will also challenge others at the same time! Next, I will challenge … "
He paused a little.
There was a brief silence in the hall. Everyone was waiting for his next words.
The audience in front of their televisions, computers, and mobile phones also had a huge question mark in their minds.
The World Language Association's Old President heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Chen Guang's excited and dazzling face. At first, he was still confused, but he quickly reacted.
Something was wrong!
Could it be that we have been fooled?
In fact, he had already bribed most of the 93 contestants and planned to challenge others by name, relying on others to send him to the championship step by step?
But he had already agreed to Butler's challenge!
Could it be that Butler was also bribed by him?
Not only did the World Language Association's Old President think this way, even Butler's loyal ally, Park Changnan, was shocked. He then turned his head and looked at Butler with a scrutinizing gaze. "Butler! You … "
Butler waved his hands. "What are you doing! What are you thinking! How is this possible! I can't wait to kill him, okay? "
On the other side, Chen Guang took a deep breath and finally spoke again.
He turned around abruptly, looked at all the contestants, and said loudly, "I want to challenge all the contestants here!"
The entire world was in an uproar.
"You didn't hear wrongly, all the contestants! Apart from me, the other 92 contestants! I challenge all of you at the same time! Do you dare to accept? It doesn't matter who it is, it doesn't matter what language you use. If I can't answer a single question during the debate with me, I'll leave immediately and apologize to everyone here! Also, the prize pool will be doubled! My bet with Butler and Park Changnan is still in effect! "
The huge venue, including the countless televisions and computers, was silent.
"Ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous!"
"This is too much!"
"You are insulting us!"
This time, it wasn't only Park Changnan and Park Changnan who flew into a rage. The other contestants also started shouting angrily.
However, Chen Guang still had his hands behind his back and had a calm expression. "That's right, I am insulting you. So, it doesn't matter who it is. As long as I can't answer, I will immediately admit defeat and fulfill my promise. I will also apologize to everyone! I know that many of you want to see me make a fool of myself. Now, give me a joke in front of the entire world! Let me ask you, do you dare to accept? "
For the sake of One-Line Sky's language master statue, Chen Guang threw caution to the wind.
The spring was already tight enough. It was time for it to be released instantly.
"Fine! I accept! "Butler was the first to speak.
Park Changnan also clenched his fists. "I will be the first to send you off!"
Chu Zijin smiled bitterly and said into her earpiece, "Alright, alright. Let's do it this way."
Either I become his stepping stone or I will personally send him off the stage so that he can calm down and reflect on his sorrowful life.
Chu Zijin thought so in her heart.
The other 89 contestants also waved their hands excitedly.
"Agree!"
"Get off the stage immediately!"
"End this ridiculous farce!"
Chen Guang was still smiling. Then, he turned his head and looked at the old president of the World's Language Club calmly before looking at Huang Changming. "Fellow judges, now that all the contestants have agreed, shall we start the challenge now? Do you need to choose a topic? I alone will debate all of them! "
The entire world was shocked!
