Fake villain turned into cannon fodder - chapter 107
(Miao: The show follows a two-part game. In the first part, there are 105 contestants competing, 5 that have done best in the previous episode on stage and 100 off stage (called “百人团”, lit. hundred people team). The ones on stage select their set of ten questions one by one, and answer them in order. Off-stage contestants answers simultaneously on iPads. If they answer correctly in 10 seconds, the number of other participants that answers incorrectly adds to their score, otherwise their game is over. When a contestant’s score surpasses another’s, the latter is eliminated.
The second part sees the best of the five challenging the contestant that has done best during the season, and they have to answer a series of more tough questions in order to win the challenge. One such segment is the fei hua ling (飞花令, lit. “flying flower game”), a section where the two contestants must constantly think of and recite verses that contain a particular character or reference a particular theme.)
…
Everyone was looking forward to the Feihualing.
People stared at the three participants standing on the stage while waiting for the competition to start.
The program system selected the theme words of this time-
“The word of the Feihualing section in this episode is- flower. Now, the Feihualing officially starts, contestant number 15, please start first!”
“In the shadows of the apricot flower blossoms, play the flute until dawn.
When is the spring flower and autumn moon end, who will remember those past moments?”
(In a year, but the two objects are the most beautiful, one is the spring flower, one is the moon in the autumn.)
“Moved by the moment, a flower splashed with tears, mourned parting, a bird startled the heart.” (In reference to a soldier’s departure from home)
…
Originally, everyone felt that this episode of Feihualing was quite simple, after all, there were still many verses with flowers in ancient poetry.
But gradually, everyone felt that this Feihualing was really not easy at all!
The three people who participated in the Feihualing this time had large poetry reserves. Everyone was talking about the poems with flowers that they knew.
“Today’s participants are great.”
“Well, it may be really like what Lao Wu said, the second round of participants are our top batch of this round.”
“This episode is really much better than the first episode! If this was the first episode, our program would definitely burst in views!”
“Huh! Player 15 seems to be running out of time! Is he going to be eliminated?”
…
The player 15 got stuck.
In the end, he regretted being out as the first knockout.
“It doesn’t matter, you have performed very well! You can compete in the next competition, cheer up!”
The judges and the host comforted him with a few words. He returned to his seat of the 100-person regiment, and the next two people began to compete.
Feihualing only had two people left. The common poems at the beginning were all used.
They had memorised the poems and most importantly, the rhythm was even faster after it was turned into a two people competition! The program only gave five seconds!
So, in a sense, it was even more difficult for the two people to compete in Feihualing!
This also made No. 31 who was calm from the moment before, a little nervous. He took more time for consideration.
However, even if this was the case, An Ran seemed to have no influence. She still had a slight smile on her face. With calmness, she was reciting poems one after another.
It seemed that she wasn’t in the competition, but was reciting ancient poems casually.
Originally, An Ran’s appearance was very beautiful. So with her voice which was so clear and moving, this competition for everyone was a visual and auditory feast.
Everyone was also immersed in An Ran’s ancient poems …
Even the photographer couldn’t help but give An Ran many, many shots.
“Like a flower or not like a flower, and no one regrets not following the teachings.” (People don’t cherish flowers.)
“The way of heaven does not care about flowers.”
Sentence after sentence, An Ran didn’t need any time after her opponent finished her answer, and would say the poems right after the opponent just finished answering.
This way, it also greatly disturbed the opponent’s thoughts. Not only did she not have too much time to think, but also created a psychological pressure on the other party.
“Where is the restaurant? The shepherd boy points to the apricot blossom village.”
In this round, the player no. 31 was interrupted.
“Sorry, Jiang Bo, you had recited this poem before, you have to change it.”
Because of this interruption, the player no. 31 got a little nervous. So although there were still a lot of ancient poems reserved in his brain, his brain got blank at this time. Finally, after five seconds of no reaction, he got eliminated with regret.
“Unfortunately, our No. 31 player, Jiang Bo, failed to become a challenger in this episode. Jiang Bo please leave our stage.”
The light that shone on Jiang Bo suddenly dimmed, which also allowed him to wake up from the tense competition and once again get calm.
“Congratulations An Ran. Your poems reserve is really large. I lost.”
Although Jiang Bo wasn’t old, he was very gentlemanly. Unlike other participants who directly exit after losing, he said a few words.
An Ran also responded politely to him, “Jiang Bo, you are also very strong. If it wasn’t for the interruption, I think we may have continued several rounds.”
Jiang Bo became embarrassed and his face slightly turned reddish.
