While the internet was in an uproar, Gu Ting and the Ai Ci had already reached the last level. The previous few levels were quite physical and were completely solved by the Ai Ci.
Throughout the whole process, Gu Ting, who was 1.9 meters tall, was completely useless.
However, under Ai Ci's intentional control, they maintained their ranking at third or fourth place throughout the competition.
Gu Ting could see that she was holding back, but he did not say anything. He was not someone who insisted on getting first place.
Finally, the last level was no longer just physical work.
However, this level involved brain power and seemed to be more difficult.
The husband-and-wife team in front of them, as well as Nie Rongqing and Zhang Yilin, who had a strong momentum today, were still stuck in this level.
The Ai Ci opened the mission card:
"History as a mirror:
Select the dynasty on the board. The screen will show the history questions related to that dynasty. One member will stay in place to answer the questions, while the other member will move barefoot on the beach chessboard. For every question that the answer answers correctly, the other member can move forward one space until they reach the finish line. "
"Based on the number of questions you have answered incorrectly, you will be given time to split five coconuts in this time to pass the level."
"If you answer five questions incorrectly, you will be given 15 minutes to split coconuts. If you answer five to ten questions incorrectly, you will be given 10 minutes. If you answer more than 10 questions, you will only be given 5 minutes."
If they did not have to worry about the number of questions they answered incorrectly, it would not be difficult to reach the finish line. However, five minutes was not enough to split coconuts.
The husband and wife team and the friends team could not pass the level because they did not have enough time.
They looked again and saw that the Ai Ci and Gu Ting had caught up. Thinking about the Ai Ci's extraordinary strength in the previous levels, it should not be difficult for her to split coconuts.
Gu Ting was known to be a top student in the entertainment industry. He had a photographic memory and was admitted to the top university in the country, Jing University, at the age of 14. At 18, he was recommended to be a postgraduate student at Jing University and entered the entertainment industry by chance. It was not difficult for him to answer the history questions.
This level was tailor-made for the two of them.
After another failure, Xiao Xuyang, who was resting on the sidelines, quickly raised his hand to signal the director: "I want to use the reward privilege from the last episode to designate the two of them to participate in the project."
Director: "How do you want to designate them?"
"Let the Ai Ci answer the questions and Gu Ting split coconuts."
Xiao Xuyang's plan was very good. By exchanging what they were good at, they should be able to slow down the speed of the two of them passing the stage.
Zhang Yilin gloated on the sidelines: "You should let the girl do something easy. How can you let the girl split coconuts? I think that's what Gu Ting planned all along, right? "
"Yes." Gu Ting's expression was calm as he affirmed.
Zhang Yilin's back was facing the camera as he curled his lips. He didn't believe it in his heart and only thought that he was being stubborn.
Gu Ting whispered to the Ai Ci: "You don't have to be nervous. Just answer casually. You don't have to worry about how many questions you get wrong. Five minutes is enough."
In fact, splitting coconuts was not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of skill. He believed that he could find the skill in five minutes.
"I'm not nervous."
The Ai Ci looked up at him. Her peach blossom eyes were as bright as the stars. A trace of fighting spirit finally ignited in her eyes:
"Wait for me to win 15 minutes for you."
Zhang Yilin interrupted: "Then you can do it. The questions are difficult." In his heart, he only thought that she was bragging.
The others present also did not believe it because they had each tried three times. Each time, they could get more than ten questions wrong.
However, with the cameras in front of them, everyone still looked as if they were cheering for him.
But Gu Ting lowered his head and looked at the Ai Ci's shining eyes. For some reason, he did not have a trace of doubt in his heart.
He replied in a low voice, "Yes."
He believed in her.
It was almost dusk. After a day of exposure to the sun, the beach was very hot. The waves surged onto the beach with great momentum and then retreated in a bustling manner. In the distance, seagulls sometimes swooped down to the sea and sometimes soared in the sky.
The sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean whistled. When it passed by the Ai Ci, it circled around without leaving a trace. It intimately brushed the ends of her hair and seemed to lightly place a kiss on the top of her head.
Gu Ting had already taken off his shoes and stood at the starting point. The shoes beside him were neatly arranged as usual.
The Ai Ci randomly chose Ming Ming and began to answer the questions.
"During the Ming Dynasty, what was the spy agency set up? A. Jinyi Wei, B. East Faction, C. West Faction, D. Sixth Faction. "
"East Faction."
"Correct."
"What was the title given to Wu Sangui by Emperor Chongzhen? A. Zhenbei Bo, B. Anping Bo, C. Ping Xibo, D. Ningyuan Bo. "
"Ping Xibo."
"Correct."
"… …"
She answered every question without thinking.
After a while, Gu Ting had already finished more than half of the squares.
And the Ai Ci didn't make a single mistake.
On the sidelines, the husband and wife team, the friend team, and the other two teams that had just arrived sat in a row with shocked faces.
Was this person cheating?
How could she answer this kind of question?
Xiao Xuyang, who was full of regret, thought, Damn, did I just switch wrong?
Soon, Gu Ting was only one square away from the finish line.
A painting appeared on the screen.
"This painting of a boat in the fog was painted by a female painter from the Ming Dynasty. The painter was good at painting illusory clouds and mist. This painting was lost in Russia during the war of the last century and has not been returned to the National Museum of our country. What is the name of this female painter?"
It wasn't a multiple choice question.
It seemed that the program team saw that the Ai Ci answered too quickly and increased the difficulty for her.
The Ai Ci stared at the screen for a long time. For the first time, she didn't answer immediately.
The people next to her began to talk.
Zhang Yilin: "How could she know? She didn't even have a choice. "
Du Feifei: "Were there female painters in the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Jianrui from the father-son team had reached retirement age. He had read a lot of books in his spare time, but when he saw this question, he still shook his head and said,
"In the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zhu's Neo-Confucianism had developed to such an extent that he always advocated that 'a woman without talent is virtuous'. I've never seen any talented female painters mentioned in the history books I've read."
Nie Rongqing said, "But it doesn't matter if their team got this question wrong."
The Ai Ci didn't speak for a long time. It seemed that she really couldn't answer this question.
Just as the timer was about to end and everyone thought that she had given up, she suddenly said,
"Ai Zhi."
The Ai Ci lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Her name is Ai Zhi."
The director was also shocked. This question was not meant to be answered by them, in case they all got the correct answer and looked too fake.
The director found his voice after a long time. "… The answer is correct. Gu Ting reaches the finish line and gets 15 minutes to split coconuts."
The other guests immediately stood up and swarmed over.
Nie Rongqing said in disbelief, "Oh my god, how did you know?"
Wang Jianrui said, "How do you know so much about the history of the Ming Dynasty? Are you a history student? "
Ning Qing looked at her with admiration. "You're so good."
Du Feifei said, "You're all surnamed Ai. Are you from the same family? If that's the case, it's not strange. "
The Ai Ci smiled and didn't answer their question. "Sorry, my teammate is going to split coconuts. Please let me go and cheer him on."
She pushed through the crowd and walked towards Gu Ting.
Her back was straight as she walked against the light.
Every step she took was like a king.
…
The Ai Ci and Gu Ting took first place without any suspense.
Du Feifei and Ning Qing unfortunately fell to the last place and had to accept the bungee jumping punishment. However, the Ai Ci gave them the right to start in the next episode. After all, it was really difficult for two girls to compete so much.
The recording officially ended. The program team was talking about dinner when Gu Ting's phone suddenly rang.
He walked to the side and picked up the phone. "Hello, Ling Ge, what's wrong?"
Lin Qing's sullen voice came from the other end of the phone.
