From Taobao intern to the father of Pinduoduo

Chapter 187 The Great Battle!

Inside the university dormitory, everyone gathered around Qiao Kai's laptop to watch the final match.

On the screen, the finale of "Who's Still Standing?" was brightly lit.

Guangxi Team VS Jiangsu Team.

At this moment, the captain of the Guangxi team has completed a one-on-two battle, leaving only one opponent, Shen Mo from the Jiangsu team.

Wei Yiming stood on the stage, his figure thin, his eyes filled with a sense of determination.

Opposite him was Shen Mo, the captain of the Jiangsu team.

Shen Mo wore a light gray custom-made shirt, the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing a wristwatch that looked very expensive. He had one hand in his pocket, exuding a relaxed and composed air.

The host introduced: "Shen Mo, captain of the Jiangxi team, a top student from Peking University, the top liberal arts student in Jiangsu Province in 2010."

"The record so far is undefeated!"

At that moment, Shen Mo's personal short film began playing on the big screen.

Beijing's courtyard house features red walls and green tiles. The boy attended an international school from a young age and traveled the world with his parents during holidays. In the study, an entire wall is lined with books, from "Records of the Grand Historian" to "A Brief History of Time," all neatly arranged.

His performance on the field was incredibly cool; he effortlessly defeated his opponents without breaking a sweat.

The scene shifts back to the studio, where Shen Mo smiles at the camera and nods slightly.

"Damn it, why is this guy so annoying?" Zeng Wen couldn't help but complain.

Qiao Kai stared at the screen: "Indeed, I still prefer Wei Yiming."

At this moment, the camera turns to Wei Yiming.

At the crucial moment, his new short film also began to play.

Wei Yiming stumbled along the way in the competition, lacking the dominance on the field that Shen Mo possessed.

However, he continued to grow and eventually made it to the finals.

The final match has officially begun.

The host asked the first question, which Shen Mo answered first.

However, before the host could speak, Shen Mo pressed the button first: "The answer is A."

The host was taken aback, then looked down at the answer sheet and saw that the answer was indeed A.

After discussion among the judges, it was deemed acceptable to answer in a flash.

Furthermore, Shen Mo answered the questions almost instantly each time, completing his answers before the questions even appeared on the big screen or before the host had said more than a few words.

The host chuckled, "Reading questions to Shen Mo must be so easy."

Outside the computer, Zeng Wen couldn't stand it anymore.

He said, "Damn, this guy's such a show-off!"

"I think this is a strategy. If I were Wei Yiming, I would be under a lot of pressure right now," Qiao Kai replied thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, on the screen, Qiao Kai did feel the pressure, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Especially as the questions became more and more diverse, covering almost everything from astronomy, geography, humanities, and philosophy, his hands gradually began to tremble.

However, on the thirtieth question, he chose to change his strategy.

Since it's impossible to answer instantly like Shen Mo, it's better to compress the time and answer in the last three seconds. During this time, you can rest well and disrupt Shen Mo's rhythm.

His strategy actually worked, and Shen Mo was indeed annoyed.

At this point, the director skillfully began to build up the atmosphere, shifting the camera focus to the judges, showing their comments and the expressions of the audience.

Next, the two continued to answer questions, each answering more than one hundred questions.

The popularity of "Who's Still Standing?" continued to rise, reaching a peak viewership rating of 12%.

The host took a deep breath: "Next up is a general knowledge question."

"Question: In rural Guangxi, if it suddenly rains while drying rice, what should you collect first?"

This question was very simple, and everyone thought Shen Mo would answer it instantly.

However, Shen Mo paused for a second before replying, "Collect the dried ones first."

"The scene was almost shaken."

This is a question that is almost like 1+1=2 for many people, but the Great Demon King couldn't answer it?

Hearing the uproar, Shen Mo showed surprise for the first time.

The host was also surprised and said, "Wrong answer."

"Next, please answer the question, Wei Yiming."

Wei Yiming didn't think.

He spoke almost immediately: "Collect the freshly harvested grains that haven't been dried yet. Because dried grains are already dehydrated, a little rain won't affect them much, and they can still be used after drying. But if freshly harvested wet grains get rained on, they will sprout and mold, and the whole season's harvest will be wasted."

He paused, then added, "When I was a child, I helped my family harvest rice many times."

The host exclaimed incredulously, "Guangxi team wins!"

Wei Yiming stood on the stage, the lights shining on him. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his hair was plastered to his forehead. He himself felt an incredible sense of relief.

Shen Mo stood there, stunned for several seconds.

Then he smiled.

He walked confidently up to Wei Yiming and extended his hand.

"I lost," Shen Mo said. "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

Wei Yiming grasped his hand.

The image of the two shaking hands was frozen on the big screen.

"Hey, this guy's pretty good. He can take a loss well. I'm starting to like him a bit," Zeng Wen said.

Qiao Kai nodded.

There was a few seconds of silence in the dormitory, then several people cheered at the same time.

"Wow, that was amazing!"

"That was terrifying! Wei Yiming actually won!"

"This is too dramatic. I knew the answer to the last question, but the big boss didn't. He must be a rich kid."

"Uh—I can't really call myself a young master. Actually, I don't know either."

"Hey, you country bumpkin."

After watching the game, everyone was very excited and opened Weibo, QQ groups, and other platforms to share their viewing experience and feelings.

Zeng Wen took out his phone and opened the QQ group.

The group chat has exploded.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Wei Yiming won!"

"I knew he would win!"

Even though Shen Mo lost, he's still so cool.

"How should we divide the next million?"

"I feel that Wei Yiming should have no problem getting half of it."

"No, no, no, this show is so popular, 500,000 is nothing at all. I'll be getting so many endorsement deals that I won't know what to do with them."

Zeng Wen chuckled as he read the discussions in the group chat.

As we were talking, the host's voice came from the TV.

"Thank you all for watching the 'Who's Still Standing?' finale! Also, I have some good news to share..."

Pinduoduo's quiz feature officially launches today!

"Go to Pinduoduo and search 'One Stop to the End' to participate in a quiz with prizes! All questions are from the show! Answer ten questions correctly and receive a free gift!"

Zeng Wen paused for a moment, then picked up his phone.

"I'll give it a try."

He opened the Pinduoduo app, and sure enough, there was a new entry point on the homepage—"One-Stop Quiz with Prizes".

Once you click through, the page is very simple: ten multiple-choice questions, answer within a time limit, and you can choose any item under 20 yuan if you answer all of them correctly.

Zeng Wen, holding up his phone, said, "This Pinduoduo is interesting; they've brought quiz shows to the platform."

The other roommates also took out their phones and logged into Pinduoduo.

They had already installed Pinduoduo during the last free fruit giveaway, but they usually shop on Taobao, using Pinduoduo as a supplement.

Occasionally, when there are promotions, they will come to Pinduoduo to get some free items.

Zeng Wen said, "Let's have a competition, a dormitory version of 'Who's Still Standing'."

"Come on, whoever loses has to acknowledge me as their father."

"Come on, if you lose, remember to call me daddy."

"Hey, wait a minute, what did you just say?"

After a period of playful banter, everyone began to answer the questions seriously.

Zeng Wen glanced at the question.

Question 1: What is the next line after "The sunset glows and the lone wild goose flies together" in the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng?

There are four options below: a, b, c, and d.

He laughed: "Isn't that simple?"

Instant selection: a, Autumn waters merge with the vast sky in one color.

Question 2: What is the third highest mountain in the world?

Oh, he'd seen this question on the show.

"C, Kancheng Zhangjiafeng." Zeng Wen selected instantly.

Questions 3, 4, and 5 —

Zeng Wenyue answered more and more smoothly.

At that moment, all of his roommates had already lost.

Some people stubbornly insisted, "Damn, my hand slipped! Oh dear, my hands were too sweaty."

Some people even said, "This game can also be made easier by getting sponsors."

"Old Joe, I'll give you a link."

"Huh?" Qiao Kai noticed that Zeng Wen's segment wasn't finished yet, and he said, "Old Zeng, you're still alive?"

"Shh!"

"Quiet down, I've answered the last question."

Zeng Wen has loved books like "100,000 Whys" since he was a child, and this time, his answers really hit his sweet spot.

The last question was very difficult; it was a geography question. There was a map on the screen, and you had to determine the specific latitude and longitude lines based on the map.

Moreover, the time limit is only thirty seconds.

Zeng Wen's lips twitched. The difficulty level had increased too much!

So you never intended for anyone to win?

But isn't this a coincidence?

He's always been good at geography.

He pressed his fingers and entered a string of numbers using the 3x3 grid.

Congratulations on successfully answering the question!

You have become the 1231st player to complete the level.

Please choose your gift.

Zeng Wen glanced at the product list.

Three Little Bees bread, Spring Diary stockings, co-branded phone cases, towels, toothpaste, tissues, shampoo, and shower gel —

The dazzling array of goods is overwhelming.

His gaze slid down, then suddenly stopped.

[Yinlu Eight Treasure Porridge 360g*12 cans per box]

Zeng Wen's eyes lit up.

That's it!

He immediately clicked to select, and the page redirected, prompting him to fill in his shipping address.

"Done!" Zeng Wen tossed his phone onto the bed, leaned back, and sprawled out on the bed in a starfish shape. "Awesome!"

The dormitory was silent for a second.

Then it exploded.

"What?!"

"You passed?!"

"Holy crap, is this for real?!"

Several roommates immediately surrounded him and tried to snatch his phone.

"show me!"

"Don't steal it! Don't steal it!"

"Damn, it really is! The completion page! You're over 1000th person nationwide to clear it, you're amazing!"

Zeng Wen, who was pinned at the bottom, laughed uncontrollably: "Hey, hey, you're crushing me! Get up, get up!"

"Old Zeng, are you even human?" one of my roommates couldn't help but curse. "We all failed on questions eight and nine, and you got them all right?"

Zeng Wen crossed his legs smugly: "That's right, don't you know who I am?"

"What did you choose?" Qiao Kai asked.

Zeng Wen took his phone back and scrolled through the order page: "Eight Treasure Porridge, one case."

"Eight-treasure porridge?" My roommate was stunned. "With so many good options, why would you choose eight-treasure porridge?"

Zeng Wen said matter-of-factly, "There are 12 cans in a box, so we can share them with our sons."

"I just said the winner becomes the father, you won't go back on your word, will you?"

"Your mom!"

Everyone started joking around again.

After a period of commotion.

Zeng Wen smiled smugly, opened QQ Space, WeChat Moments, QQ groups, and started showing off: [Zeng Wen: Brothers, I beat the game! [Screenshot]]

The group chat instantly erupted in excitement.

[Li Ming: ???]

[Wang Hao: Holy crap!]

[Zhang Lei: Boss, please guide me!]

[Liu Yang: Really? I'm stuck on question nine.]

[Zhao Kai: Old Zeng is awesome!]

[Sun Yue: I need a strategy guide! I need a strategy guide!]

Zeng Wen grinned from ear to ear as he watched the messages flooding his screen.

He typed back: 【Hehe, it's all about skill, no strategy needed】

[Li Ming: Keep pretending.]

[Wang Hao: Keep pretending +1]

Zhang Lei: Keep pretending +2

[Liu Yang: Keep pretending +10086]

Zeng Wen laughed so hard he was shaking.

Leave the group chat and open your profile.

There are already more than a dozen comments under the post.

[High school classmate A: Holy crap, Zeng, you can do this too?]

[High school classmate B: Awesome! I couldn't even answer the first question correctly.]

[High school classmate C: Holy crap, over 1000th person in the whole country to clear it, that's impressive, impressive]

Zeng Wen was overjoyed by the positive feedback; he could hardly stop smiling.
