Chapter 723 Hehehe

"Question: What is the electrical form of lightning?"

"Pulse current!"

……

"What is the next line after 'Since ancient times, those with deep feelings have only ended in regret'?"

"This lingering resentment... Bah, it's more like 'the sweetest dreams are the easiest to end'!"

……

Question: How can you make eight 8s equal one thousand?

"Eight hundred and eighty-eight plus eighty-eight equals nine hundred and seventy-six..."

"That's eight hundred and eighty-eight plus eighty-eight plus eight plus eight!"

……

"What is the true meaning of the coded message: 'Brother Zhao asked you to do me a favor'?"

"Ahem, this competition is for all ages, this question doesn't align with our values, let's change the question."

……

After the "Three Guns and One Cannon" team overcame the most difficult hurdle, the four members finally unleashed their full firepower.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.

Surprisingly, when these four guys got serious, they could actually hold their own against Yifei.

After fourteen rounds, both sides had played all their cards and each had only one point of health left.

Wow.

Nanfeng remarked, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that your two teams could stay locked in a stalemate until the fifteenth round."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxian and his three friends stood tall and proud, looking confident of victory.

They gave a thumbs-up, pointing arrogantly at themselves: "That's right, we're not pushovers."

Then they turned their thumbs down at Yifei and said, "Hu Yifei, just wait to post your defeat report on the Love Apartment website!"

"Oh."

Yifei leaned back on the sofa and glanced casually at the four guys opposite her.

The fact that they could fight each other to the fifteenth round shows that these four good-for-nothings have some skill.

He just doesn't have much skill.

"The fifteenth round is about to begin. Both sides, please prepare."

Nanfeng said with a smile, "Just a friendly reminder: since the last round, all the [Peach] cards in the deck have been used up."

"In other words, if either of your teams fails to answer a question in the next six rounds, the other team will be the final winner."

As soon as Nanfeng finished speaking, Xiaoxian, the other three, and Yifei's gazes immediately sharpened.

They knew from the intense battles of the previous fourteen rounds that neither side could possibly hold out until the reshuffling of the deck after six rounds.

In other words, they are likely to determine the winner in the next few rounds.

"【Three Guns and One Cannon】Team, please prepare to answer the questions."

As Nanfeng spoke in a cold and emotionless tone, everyone's hearts tightened instantly.

Xiao Xian and his three friends held hands, each one so nervous that they were breathing heavily through their mouths.

"Question: Among China's ethnic minorities, in which province is the Pumi people mainly distributed?"

"A: Province YN. B: Province SC."

"C: GZ Province. D: FJ Province."

Youyou pressed the stopwatch: "Start timing."

The four people were speechless upon hearing this.

Zeng Xiaoxian exclaimed in surprise, "Which province are the Pumi people mainly distributed in? How would we know that!"

"yes."

Zhang Wei wailed, "Oh no, oh no, I didn't even know there was such a people as the Pumi ethnic group."

Nanfeng shrugged: "That's why I deliberately made it a multiple-choice question, so you could guess."

"oh."

After listening to the question, Ziqiao, who had been staring blankly, suddenly realized: "So Guizhou is a province."

Everyone: (ˉ▽ˉ;)……

"Fifteen seconds left."

Youyou reminded her.

"flash!"

Xiaoxian decisively used the [Flash] he had just drawn in this round, increasing his answering time from fifteen seconds to twenty-five seconds.

And that was their only hand.

There's no way around it; if they can't answer this question, they'll lose, and keeping their cards is pointless.

In that case, why not try the process of elimination over a longer period of time?

He quickly turned to look at Ziqiao and eagerly asked, "I've never heard of the Pumi ethnic group in all these years in Fujian, so D is definitely not the correct answer."

"Ziqiao, what about you?"

Ziqiao quickly shook his head: "Never heard of it."

Zhang Wei exclaimed excitedly, "Great! That eliminates two wrong answers!"

"Guan Gu, what about you? Are you from Yunnan or Guizhou?"

"Forehead……"

Guan Gu's lips twitched: "...I'm Japanese."

"Depend on!"

The three of them immediately became dejected.

Youyou, timing herself with a stopwatch, said, "Ten seconds left, ten, nine..."

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, now we can only choose between A and C."

He paused, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he gripped Guan Gu's hand tightly: "Quick! Guan Gu! You need to choose one right away!"

"I?"

The voice, steady and indifferent like a clock, lingered: "Five, four..."

"There's no time, Guan Gu, hurry up and choose!"

"I……"

"Three, two,..."

At this moment, Guan Gu was so nervous that his glasses fell to the ground due to violent shaking. He closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and shouted.

Choose C!

"answer……"

"Objection! (I have an objection!)"

Zhang Wei shouted out Phoenix Wright's (the protagonist of the Ace Attorney series) classic catchphrase, smoothed his hair, and revealed the resolute gaze of a legal pioneer: "We demand that Guan Gu's answer be rejected internally. We choose A!"

Nanfeng paused, then asked, still without much emotion, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Zhang Wei turned to his bewildered teammates and shouted, "Have you guys forgotten...?"

"Guan Gu is a famous detective!!!"

"What?!"

Guan Gu clutched his chest, feeling that his pure and innocent heart had been deeply hurt.

In contrast to Guan Gu's grievances and sadness, Xiao Xian and Zi Qiao's eyes suddenly lit up with dazzling light upon hearing this.

Choose A!

They shouted in unison, "We must choose A!"

Nanfeng nodded, perhaps out of a mischievous sense of humor, and deliberately dragged out his reply to be very long.

"answer……"

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at Nanfeng.

Nanfeng gently tapped the coffee table with his card, as if questioning everyone's tense and uneasy hearts.

"This is a historic moment, and the right or wrong answer could very well determine the fate of both teams for decades to come."

He said in a deep voice, "I hereby declare... I will be back immediately after this is GG!"

"Skip GG!!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, the crowd grabbed whatever they could and threw it at Nanfeng.

"You guys are really going too far!"

Nanfeng, who had been hit and was crouching down to defend himself, angrily said, "You have absolutely no respect for the referee and the host! This match can't continue!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Just announce it!"

Nanfeng's ears hurt from the loud shouting of the crowd. He covered his ears, sat back down in his seat, and muttered, "You guys don't understand the importance of creating a good show."

Everyone stared at Nanfeng expressionlessly, their knuckles cracking.

"The game continues, the game continues..."

Nanfeng was startled by what he saw, and he quickly became serious.

"I hereby announce that the [Three Guns and One Cannon] team has answered..."

Everyone tensed up again.

"Correct answer!"

"yeah!"

Xiaoxian, Ziqiao, and Zhang Wei stood up excitedly, pulled Guangu into their arms, and cheered.

"Guangu is amazing!"

"Guangu is amazing!"

"Guangu is amazing!"

Surrounded by the three men, Guan Gu shouted, both happy and frustrated, "This was just an accident! Don't think that all my guesses were wrong!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Zhang Wei is truly a talent for being able to reverse Guan Gu's metaphysical law of "guessing whatever he wants and getting it wrong".

After Zeng Xiaoxian and the others finished celebrating, Nanfeng turned to look at Yifei.

"[Queen] Team, please prepare to answer the question."

Upon hearing this, Yifei sat up straight.

Nanfeng looked down at her cue cards and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I have to say it's quite a coincidence, Yifei, you also have to answer a multiple-choice question this round."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As we all know, The Beatles are the greatest, most influential, and most successful band in the history of pop music."

"Could you please tell me: In what year was their famous single 'Help' released?"

A: 1970. B: 1965.

"C: 1973. D: 1961."

Upon hearing this, Yifei's vision blurred; this was yet another question outside her area of ​​knowledge.

She scratched her head in frustration, muttering repeatedly, "help...help...help..."

"Oh, you can't answer that, can you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian grinned mischievously and said, "It's no use shouting for help now; nobody can help you."

"Shut your stinking mouth!"

Yifei gritted her teeth and said, "You guys were just lucky; you happened to eliminate two wrong answers first, otherwise you would have lost that question!"

"cut."

Xiaoxian pouted, his tail practically reaching for the sky.

He boasted, "We were able to eliminate two wrong answers because of our own abilities. If you're so capable, why don't you eliminate two wrong answers before making your selection?"

"yes."

Ziqiao arrogantly said, "It's not that we underestimate you, but with your metaphysical law of 'guessing everything wrong,' just like Guan Gu's, even if we were willing to give you a choice between two options, you still wouldn't choose correctly."

"cut."

Yifei said disdainfully, "Since the rules don't allow it, you can say whatever you want."

Zhang Wei chuckled: "It's not our problem if the rules don't allow it, it's the referee's problem."

"Actually, we are also very sorry, we really wanted to give you a choice between the two."

"Don't blame everything on the referee; the rules don't say it's not allowed."

Upon hearing this, referee Nanfeng blinked, signaling Youyou to stop the timer for the time being.

He turned to look at Zhang Wei and Zi Qiao: "Just like when your two teams unilaterally increased the stakes, as long as both sides reach a consensus, let alone removing two wrong answers, we can even let the other side have one question."

"ah?!!"

Ziqiao's arrogant and smug smile vanished instantly, and he widened his eyes, asking, "Is this even allowed?"

Nanfeng shrugged: "The referee only ensures the fairness and impartiality of the game. If both parties are willing, you can decide this kind of small matter yourselves, just like you did with the betting earlier."

He looked at Ziqiao and the other three: "So were you guys just bragging, or do you really want Yifei to choose between two options?"

Xiao Xian, Zhang Wei, Zi Qiao, and Guangu immediately felt extremely uneasy, as if they were sitting on pins and needles, with a thorn in their side and a fishbone stuck in their throat.

"Yo."

Yifei sneered, "You've blown your own horn, haven't you? You're speaking too soon!"

"You can back out now, it's perfectly normal for the four of you to go back on your word anyway."

Ziqiao turned to his teammates and asked cautiously, "So... what do we do now?"

"What else can we do?"

Guan Gu pressed his throbbing temples and looked helplessly at the three smug guys.

They are the typical type who become arrogant when they achieve success, and they always falter because of their arrogance when they are about to succeed.

If you want to be arrogant or sarcastic, please wait until we win, okay?

Who keeps popping champagne halfway through the game?!

The four exchanged glances, then dejectedly waved their hands at Nanfeng, saying, "Fine, fine, let her choose between the two."

A man's word is his bond.

Regardless of their true intentions in saying those words, since they've already spoken, they should stick to their word.

It's just a choice between two options, isn't it?

They gave it up!

"Okay, then..."

"Wait a minute!"

Yifei snorted, "I have an objection!"

Nanfeng turned to look at Yifei in surprise and asked, "You mean...?"

Yifei proudly raised her head, revealing her slender neck, as graceful as a swan's.

"I am the Queen of the Philippines, and a queen must have the demeanor and pride of a queen."

She arrogantly surveyed the four men opposite her, her eyes looking down on them, and said, "I do not accept their courtesy."

"Win, I want to win flawlessly."

"If I lose, I, the queen, will lose with dignity."

"good!!!"

The onlookers clapped and cheered, their praise evident.

"OK."

Nanfeng nodded, signaling Youyou to continue the timer.

"Countdown..."

Choose D!

Yifei said crisply and clearly.

She didn't know which of A, B, C, or D was the correct answer, so she could only choose the one that seemed most plausible based on her intuition.

Nanfeng nodded: "Question complete, now for the answer..."

Everyone took a deep breath, staring at Nanfeng with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

"Incorrect answer."

Nanfeng pointed to Xiaoxian and his three companions, and said with great enthusiasm, "Let's give a warm round of applause to our winners today—the [Three Guns and One Cannon] team!"

"yeah!!!"

Xiao Xian and the other three jumped up from the sofa and hugged each other excitedly.

"yeah!!!"

The onlookers rushed over and hugged Ziqiao and the others tightly.

"Teacher Zeng, Guangu, Ziqiao, and Zhang Wei, you four are amazing!"

Wanyu and Youyou excitedly joined in, Youyou beaming with joy as if she had won.

"I really didn't expect that the four of you could actually beat Sister Yifei!"

"That's absolutely amazing!"

"cut."

Yifei pouted, her whole face filled with unhappiness.

Nanfeng gently patted Yifei's shoulder, tilted his head, and whispered to her, "How are you? Do you regret going easy on me?"

Upon hearing this, Yifei's eyes widened. She covered her mouth and responded in a whisper, barely audible.

"You know that?"

Nanfeng smiled and shrugged: "With my hearing, how could I not tell whether you're truly confident of a decisive victory or just bluffing?"

Before Yifei could reply, Nanfeng gently placed her index finger on her lips.

"I understand about keeping it a secret."

Nanfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."

"Oh?"

Yifei squinted, eyeing Nanfeng suspiciously: "Why do I keep getting the feeling you're up to no good again?"

Just as Nanfeng was about to speak, he heard Zeng Xiaoxian exclaim in an extremely exaggerated manner.

"Hey, isn't this our invincible, unbeatable Hu Yifei, Queen Fei?"

Xiao Xian and his three friends, with their arms around each other's shoulders, walked towards Yi Fei with overjoyed and smug expressions.

"Hey, Yifei, why do you look like a wilted eggplant?"

Xiaoxian said in a affected manner, "You are our life mentor, you can't just collapse like this."

"What kind of life mentor?"

Yifei crossed her arms and looked up at Xiaoxian and the other three with an annoyed expression.

"What exactly do you want?"

"It's nothing, we just think what you said is very true, absolutely true!"

Xiao Xian said smugly, "If there are no rules, then winning or losing is meaningless; if winning or losing is meaningless, then the competition is meaningless; if the competition is meaningless, then our next actions are also meaningless, aren't they?"

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the four of them, just as Yifei had mocked Zhang Wei before, began to sing the tune of "Heroes' Song" with their heads bobbing and swaying.

"Hu Yifei, you lost~~~ Everyone knows you lost~~~"

"Heave-ho heave-ho heave-ho, hehehe!!!"

They struck a pose that looked incredibly cool.

"Hehe! Hehehe!!!"

Yifei was instantly on the defensive.

"ah!!!"
