Chapter 559: A good memory is not as good as a broken voice

Luo Jun nodded: "I'll go."

"Can you do it?" Lao Miaomiao asked with some doubt.

"It's the last event anyway." Luo Jun said with a smile: "You have all been on stage, so give me a chance to perform."

"I think we can let him try." Lu Fei said, "When I was in Wulin, I found that he has strong insight and memory. Maybe he can achieve good results."

Ling Xin also nodded: "It's a rare exchange meeting, everyone should participate."

At present, the scores of the five colleges are similar, and the ranking of this item does not determine anything. So everyone has no objection and lets Luo Jun go up and try.

Wearing a name tag representing Ningdong, Luo Jun stood on the court and looked at his opponents around him.

Tianjin sent Ouyang Yu, the blond boy who had provoked Zhai Xixi before. Judging from his previous performance, this guy is a spell caster, and is particularly good at curse-related abilities. The mental power of spell casters is generally strong, and they can clear their minds through buff effects, which is also a good choice.

The person assigned to the battle by Kansai University was a fair-skinned boy wearing glasses. Generally speaking, practitioners rarely have vision problems, and they wear glasses either as decorations or to cover their eyesight.

In order to process massive amounts of information, the Insight School has very high mental strength and is better at observing details. They are also very good at this connect-the-dots project.

Let’s look at the contestant from Puhuashan. He is a bald guy who looks very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old. He has been on the field before and is a very good illusionist.

As for Dongchuan College, it was an old acquaintance of Luo Jun, Zhu Xixi. (The introduction of Zhu Xixi's school in the previous chapter was wrong and has been revised.)
This was the teammate Luo Jun met in the duel in Shiqiao Town. I remember that he was a manipulator. His performance in the Class A mission was average, but among the students, he should be considered a very powerful character.

The manipulator faction also has high mental requirements... So if you think about it this way, it seems that except for the rough and tumble fighting faction, each faction has some mental requirements.

After everyone is gathered, everyone draws lots to decide the order. Considering the problem of short-term memory, the earlier the order, the better, so everyone is eager to try, hoping to draw a good order.

At this time, Luo Jun suddenly raised his hand and said, "You guys draw, I volunteer to be the last one."

When the others heard this, they all looked at Luo Jun in surprise. Finally, Zhu Xixi came over with a smile and said, "Don't be like this. Let's compete fairly and no one should take advantage of anyone else."

"It's okay, I don't care." Luo Jun smiled and waved his hand, but Ouyang Yu suddenly said, "Who knows if you are really taking advantage or plotting something? You are cunning and treacherous in every pore of your body, we won't let you do what you want!"

Luo Jun was slightly stunned, thinking, is this the image of me in other people's minds now? Turning around to look at the others, they all looked at him with caution and distrust, so he shook his head in self-mockery and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll draw lots too."

At this time, the leaders of Yuanxiu Association and the senior officials of Puhuashan College on the judging panel were also observing the situation on the field.

"Is this Luo Jun?" The president of the Puhuashan branch asked curiously, "It seems like he never appeared before? I can't tell what kind of powerful character he is."

"I met him once when I was at the headquarters." A representative of the clerks at the headquarters replied, "This guy does look ordinary, but when you talk to him, you'll find that he reacts quickly and thinks very carefully. His seemingly casual answers, when you check the transcripts afterwards, you'll find that everything he said corroborates each other, with clear logic and no loopholes."

"That's actually a problem." The dean of Puhuashan College frowned and said, "Normal people's memories will be biased, especially since he survived in the maze for so many days. It's inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions when recalling his experiences. It's usually only by recalling and verifying each other that the whole context can be continuously improved. It's normal to have slight modifications to the previous statements."

"So, either what he said was all pre-written and polished." The president touched his chin, "or, his memory is amazing. No matter how complicated it is, no matter how long it has been, he can recall it exactly."

The headquarters representative nodded and said, "At least according to the testimonies of several other participants, there is nothing wrong with his recollections. It doesn't seem to be fabricated."

"Look at it this way..." The president looked at the people who were drawing lots on the field: "I am looking forward to this kid's performance."

At this time, several people on the field had completed the drawing of lots. Luo Jun drew the fourth place, and only Ouyang Yu was behind him.

After the draw, the host was about to announce the start of the competition when Luo Jun suddenly raised his hand: "I have a question."

"Please speak," the host agreed, and a staff member at the side handed over the microphone.

"I would like to ask, if I accidentally get negative points due to overtime deduction, will I be eliminated directly?"

Luo Jun's question made the host slightly stunned. After discussing with several judges, he replied: "No, only when you fail to flip the card ten times in a round will you lose the opportunity to continue participating. When we sort out the scores at the end, we will use your score to subtract your deducted points. Even if it is a negative score, you will still be given a score."

"Oh, is that so? Then I have no problem." Luo Jun nodded and returned the phone.

Seeing that no one else had any questions, the host gave an order, and the huge screen flashed, revealing dense patterns.

These patterns are all-encompassing, from cartoon images of various animals to common items in daily life, from commonly eaten food dishes to various means of transportation and architectural facilities... In short, the organizers have put a lot of thought into putting together these more than 7,000 patterns. Even the huge screen looks messy and dazzling after cramming more than 10,000 patterns.

The five contestants stared at the screen carefully, their eyeballs trembling constantly. The contestant from Kansai University took off his glasses, trying to remember the positions of as many patterns as possible in the shortest time.

Sixty seconds passed in a flash, all the patterns were counted, and now the card flipping competition officially began!

The first place winner was Zhu Xixi from Dongchuan College. Each contestant had a large tablet with a large screen on it. The contestant could zoom in and out on the tablet to select patterns accurately. She quickly selected ten pairs of squares, and after flipping them open, all of them were correct, and she got it very well.

After all, he was the first one to operate it, and his memory was still very clear. With the mental power of a cultivator in the state of concentration, it was not difficult to remember the positions of a hundred pairs of patterns in a short period of time, let alone ten pairs.

In fact, the calculations of several contestants were similar. They did not expect to remember all the patterns from the beginning. Instead, they selected a small area on the huge screen and used it as a reference. After remembering the pattern here, they looked for another corresponding pattern on the entire screen. This method was more efficient in memory, but with such a large screen and such a complex grid, even a practitioner with extraordinary mental power could only remember a few hundred positions in a short period of time.

What they are competing for, in addition to memory, is luck. They bet that others don't remember the same area as they do. That way, as long as they haven't forgotten it, they can be guaranteed to get all the points for what they remember. They also bet that the areas that others remember overlap. In that case, the scores they get will be discounted as they compete with each other!

After Zhu Xixi finished the operation, the second place was the bald guy from Puhuashan College. He chose another place on the big screen and quickly clicked ten pairs of grids, all of which were correct. Then the third place was the insightful man with glasses.

In order to prevent the memory from being forgotten and blurred over time, no one wasted time and everyone completed the selection as quickly as possible, without the need for a 30-second time limit. Unfortunately, the reference areas selected by the man with glasses and the bald guy were very close to each other. Although his ten pairs of patterns were also correct, it was inevitable that their memory ranges overlapped. After a few rounds, there might be conflicts.

The bald guy frowned when he saw this scene, but didn't say much.

Finally it was the turn of Luo Jun, who was in fourth place. However, he was different from the first three. After coming on stage, he did not rush to choose a square. Instead, he stared at the sixty squares that had been turned over and grinned foolishly.

The audience was talking about his performance, and several other contestants looked at Luo Jun with confusion.

"What are you laughing at!" Ouyang Yu, who was the last one in line, said impatiently: "Don't waste time, choose the grid quickly!"

Luo Jun turned his head to look at him, then raised his hand and pointed at one of the opened patterns: "Look at the panda's dark circles, aren't they a bit asymmetrical, one big and one small, as if someone punched it?"

"Ah?" Ouyang Yu took a subconscious look and found it was really not symmetrical...

Then he reacted, turned around and cursed: "I don't care about his dark circles, just choose quickly, and then it will be my turn!"

"Don't be anxious!" Luo Jun glanced at Ouyang Yu and said, "Besides, I said I wanted the last one at the beginning, but you disagreed. What's the point of being anxious now?"

As he spoke, Luo Jun laughed again and pointed at the area that the bald guy and the man with glasses had flipped open: "Look at the grids that you two flipped open. Do they look like a dog's head when connected together?"

The two frowned, but still glanced at each other unconsciously.

"And Senior Sister Zhu, you are from Dongchuan College, right?" Luo Jun started chatting with Zhu Xixi again: "Is your place near the sea? Is the climate good? Is the seafood delicious?"

Zhu Xixi frowned and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

At this time, the host suddenly reminded: "Contestant Luo Jun, your time limit is almost up. If you don't make a choice quickly, you will start to lose points... You haven't scored a single point yet."

"Then deduct it." Luo Jun spread his hands, looking righteous and confident: "Didn't you say that negative points will not be eliminated?"

"Uh..." The host was speechless for a moment. The judges on the side looked at each other and nodded.

This kid seems to have realized the hidden gameplay of this game, but I don’t know if he has the ability to hold on to the end...

"But you shouldn't affect others..." the host continued.

"Affecting other people? Did I break the rules?" Luo Jun shrugged.

"Although the rules of the Connect the Kans game don't mention it, at the current stage of the competition, players are prohibited from using their abilities to influence each other. Especially in this kind of turn-taking game, off-field players are strictly prohibited from interfering with on-field players." The host tried to convince Luo Jun with the rules.

"I didn't use any abilities." Luo Jun said innocently, "And look carefully, I am the player on the field now!"

"This..." The host was speechless for a moment, but strictly speaking, Luo Jun did not violate the rules, and he really couldn't find any more reasons to stop him.

The thirty-second time limit had long passed, but Luo Jun was still in no hurry to flip the card. Instead, he was laughing and chatting with the other four contestants. Even if no one paid attention to him, he could still entertain himself and have a good time. He even sang a few lines of pop songs when he was happy. The tune was so good that it was more like noise than music... No, it should be called mental pollution!
The top three were fine, after all, they had already scored ten points, so they had a good idea of ​​what they were doing. Ouyang Yu, who was behind Luo Jun, was in a terrible situation. He covered his ears to deal with Luo Jun's interference, while reviewing the positions of the patterns he had recorded before.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't resist Luo Jun's magic sound. Just like that, under Luo Jun's torture, nearly twenty minutes passed...

"Contestant Luo Jun, I remind you that you are already over a thousand points behind." The host couldn't stand it any longer: "Even if your next ten flips are all correct, it won't help your score. But considering the progress of the competition, I hope you won't waste any more time."

"Have you deducted so much already?" Luo Jun was slightly stunned: "That's about it..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and quickly selected ten pairs of patterns, all correct.

This move really amazed the audience. It is already difficult to remember the exact location on such a densely packed screen. This guy spent such a long time talking and singing, and yet he was able to get everything correct. His memory is quite amazing.

Ouyang Yu's turn came next. He was not as lucky as Luo Jun. After twenty minutes of interference, his accuracy dropped significantly. His memory of many positions was deviated. He had to repeatedly confirm before he made the correct choice. In the end, he only got three points...

Next came the second round, which was started by Zhu Xixi again. The girl who was very confident in the first round failed to make the first choice this time, and was obviously influenced by Luo Jun. But she quickly adjusted herself and made most of the correct choices in the end, earning six points.

The bald guy and the man with glasses performed much worse than in the first round, getting four and five points respectively.

It was Luo Jun's turn. This time he didn't waste any time and instantly selected ten pairs of squares, earning another ten points.

As for Ouyang Yu, the result was even worse this time. His fingers were shaking so badly due to his anxiety that he didn't even get a single answer right in the end. He was the first to be eliminated and his score was locked at three points.

In the next few rounds, the results of the other three people became worse and worse, and the memory areas of the bald guy and the guy with glasses finally conflicted. Finally, in the sixth round, all three were eliminated, and their scores were locked at 38 points, 27 points, and 29 points respectively.

This result was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Normally, with the mental power of these practitioners of illusion, spell, and manipulation schools, it would not be difficult to get more than 100 points. The final result was only this low, which was obviously Luo Jun's "merit".

And this culprit has not made any mistakes so far, and all of the first five rounds were correct, but because of too many deductions before, his current score is minus one thousand and seventy-three points.

"Now I'm the only one left." Luo Jun looked at the judges: "Is it okay to just choose directly instead of taking turns?"

"It still has to be calculated as a round of ten times. After all, if you make a complete mistake in one round, your score will stop there," the host reminded.

"Don't worry." Luo Jun flexed his fingers, picked up the tablet, and said with a confident smile: "It's time to show my real skills!"
