Chapter 467: Outrageous Rules
"Ugh…" After Wang Haoyu noticed He Dong's expression, his heart instantly felt uneasy.
He Dong glanced at Wang Haoyu, then looked at Ye Fan again, waved his right hand, "Bring on the props!"
Two wooden shelves were brought onto the stage, each shelf holding ten cups of water, crystal clear, without the slightest impurity, not even a single water bubble.
He Dong walked to the wooden shelf, casually pointed at a water cup, "Ten types of water quality, two cups each. The cups are from the same manufacturer, same batch. Each water quality has undergone distillation to remove impurities."
"The bottom of each water cup has a number, covered by a layer of white sticker. The two wooden shelves each have the letters A and B. Currently, the corresponding positions are the same type of water quality. After the competition begins, the two contestants will have five minutes of observation time. Without touching the water cups, the two contestants can observe freely."
"After the observation ends, I will invite the four guest judges to the stage to randomly shuffle the order of the water cups on wooden shelf B. Contestants need to pair the ten types of water quality on the two wooden shelves. For each correctly paired water quality, one point is awarded. The one with the higher score advances."
After hearing these rules, Wang Haoyu was completely stunned. He quickly walked to wooden shelf B and looked at the water cups on it, then quickly walked to wooden shelf A, looked for a full minute before retracting his gaze. At this moment, his expression was extremely brilliant.
This event…
Outrageously absurd!
These waters look identical, fundamentally no memory points, how to pair them?
The water quality has been distilled, losing its original smell. What's even more perverted is that the program team, don't know what method they used, actually managed to have not even a single bubble in the water cups. Just looking with the eyes, can't see a damn thing!
Ye Fan's brows twitched slightly.
Honestly, after hearing these rules, he was also startled. Originally thought they were to let them drink, to taste the difference between the ten water qualities with their tongues. Never expected the program team would actually let them look with their eyes.
This…
During the time He Dong was announcing the rules, the four guest judges had already come from the backstage rest room to the stage. For a moment, they all gathered around the wooden shelf, staring at the water cups on the two wooden shelves and observing.
Ultimately, the gazes of the four landed on He Dong.
"Teacher He, are you sure any contestant can complete this event?"
"Completely not within the scope of human ability, too ridiculous!"
"Is there a problem with the rules?"
"I think there's a problem with this event!"
It's not to blame the four for reacting so strongly. Through their observation just now, the four found absolutely no memory points on the water cups. No matter how strong the contestants' abilities were, it would be impossible to complete the challenge.
Facing the inquiry from the four, He Dong smiled wryly continuously. Hesitating for a moment, he ultimately still told the truth.
"Teachers, this event was actually prepared for the finals. In the one hundred events for the quarter-finals and semi-finals, a prop for one of the events had a problem, so this event was added to make up the numbers. Never thought contestant Ye Fan's luck would be so good, to choose this Water Quality Traceability event right at the start."
Ye Fan: "…"
Isn't he just a tool?
Called start and stop, the final decider was clearly the computer, what the hell does it have to do with him!
Liang Chenglei's brows furrowed high, "Even if it's a finals event, the difficulty is also too outrageous, right? I heard that after Brain Ladder events are developed, they are always tested on many people. May I ask if anyone has succeeded?"
"This…"
He Dong gave a dry cough, "There are some. Someone answered 6 types of water quality correctly."
Liang Chenglei scoffed, "So this event is a competition of luck?"
He Dong opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Pang Yunfei suggested: "Teacher He, I think at least one memory point should be given, or a micro-detail; with the current conditions, contestants can only rely on luck to guess, extremely unreasonable!"
"Agree!"
"Agree!"
Xia Jiuqi and Jin Jueping unanimously agreed.
He Dong silently nodded, said: "Since all four teachers think so, I will discuss with the chief director and the event person in charge, will definitely give the teachers a satisfactory answer."
"Wait a moment."
Just then, a voice sounded from behind the four guest judges.
Wang Haoyu strode over. He had heard all the conversation just now. Meeting the puzzled gazes of the few, he smiled slightly, "Teachers, I think although this event's difficulty is high, it hasn't reached the point of needing to change the rules."
"It's very normal for Brain Ladder events to be difficult. Coincidentally, I also want to challenge my own limits. I personally still hope to compete according to the rules Teacher He announced just now."
Speaking to here, Wang Haoyu turned to look at Ye Fan, "I wonder if contestant Ye Fan has the guts to have an extreme competition with me?"
The rules of Water Quality Traceability were indeed unreasonable, but the more it was like this, the greater his hope of winning.
Facing an opponent as outrageously strong as Ye Fan, if it were a normal competition, it would almost certainly be a defeat!
But if competing on luck, then who wins and who loses is hard to say. From this angle, these rules were completely helping him.
This kind of opportunity, Wang Haoyu naturally had to grasp well. Precisely because of this, the current goading tactic came to be.
Ye Fan instantly saw through Wang Haoyu's intention. His expression unchanged, he glanced lightly, "Nothing to not dare. Since you want to compete like this, then let's compete like this."
"Good, straightforward!"
Great joy appeared in Wang Haoyu's eyes.
The few people beside them, you look at me, I look at you, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Such an obvious goading tactic, it's impossible Ye Fan couldn't see it. But why did he still agree to compete like this?
Cannot understand...
He Dong tentatively confirmed: "Contestant Ye Fan, are you sure you want to compete like this?"
"Compete."
Ye Fan raised his hand and scratched his head, "The rules are indeed very difficult, but this way it's more interesting."
His harmless-to-humans-and-animals smile made the few not know whether to call Ye Fan simple, or ignorant; clearly with his strength he could easily advance, why must he compete on luck with Wang Haoyu?
Wang Haoyu almost didn't laugh out loud. In his eyes, Ye Fan at this moment was a big idiot, and a rather cute kind of fool.
"Since both contestants agree to these rules, then the rules will not change. Listen to my command. Three, two, one; observation begins!"
As his voice fell, the large screen started timing.
Wang Haoyu pretended to walk to wooden shelf A, looked at it very casually.
It wasn't that he wanted to be like this. Even if he observed seriously, he couldn't see a thing.
This event, can only compete on luck!
In contrast, Ye Fan was completely the opposite of Wang Haoyu. His whole person leaned over in front of wooden shelf B, looking very seriously. From left to right, the time his gaze lingered on each cup of water was about ten seconds.
After observing the water on wooden shelf B, Ye Fan closed his eyes and stood on the spot for nearly half a minute, then strode to wooden shelf A and looked in the same way, brilliance flashing in his eyes.
Since the rules are unreasonable, then challenge the impossible!
