Chapter 491 Pretending to be an expert without saying anything!

"It's not just Yanzhou." Jiang Cheng continued: "In several other continents that did not broadcast this Qi Chu Wendou, some people also noticed the popularity of traffic. For example, Hanzhou and Weizhou, there are many anchors doing it Relevant video transfers, when this Qi Chuwen fight is officially over, boss, your popularity around the world will probably increase..."

 There is no way, Lin Zhibai’s current record is too amazing!

　　Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all ascended to the altar and became the first person at the top!

Even people who have never watched the game can’t help but be moved when they hear about Lin Zhibai’s achievements, and immediately look up this person’s information.

“It seems that my next road to stardom will be much easier than before the competition.”

Lin Zhibai smiled, did not continue chatting with Jiang Cheng, and went to the third floor of the hotel for a buffet dinner.

The hotel has been rented out by the organizer of the Qi Chu Wen Dou. Now, in addition to the staff, there are participating delegations from Qi and Chu continents, so there won't be too many people disturbing Lin Zhibai's meal.

It was Li Bai who came over.

 The attitude was very respectful: "President Lin."

Although Li Bai was polite to Lin Zhibai in the past, he was definitely not respectful.

This change in attitude probably occurred in the past few days, which shows the impact Lin Zhibai had on the people around him after he became a **** in the fields of chess, calligraphy and painting.

 Don’t say it’s Li Bai.

Even Hu Wei and Shi Yun, the two leaders of the Qizhou literary circle, have become increasingly polite to Lin Zhibai recently.

"Um."

Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the couplet, we will fight side by side again."

Li Bai followed up and laughed, "I know your level, but I think I still have to remind you. I have told you before that Chuzhou's couplet team has a very powerful couplet master. He is a foreign aid from Zhaozhou named Xu Haiyun. , the level is slightly higher than mine, so be careful if you encounter one!"

"good."

Lin Zhibai nodded. In fact, in order to get the gold medal in all events, he has tried his best in almost every event so far, so there is no question of whether he should be more careful or not.

 Subsequently.

Hu Wei and Shi Yun also came to see Lin Zhibai, "President Lin has something to tell you. Can you sell your calligraphy and painting works since the competition to Qizhou?"

"Excuse me."

Lin Zhibai said: "My grandfather wants to take away these works..."

Lately, there are always people who want to buy these works. Lin Zhibai was annoyed and simply used the old man as a shield.

Of course this is also true. Lin Zhibai plans to send all the entries to the old man later. These things can only be exchanged for money in his hands.

 But in the hands of Lin Zhaomu of Shinhwa Group, it might be of higher value.

 “That’s it.”

Hu Wei said with some regret: "Since the old man of your family wants it, it is not convenient for us to take it from others."

　　　It is filial piety that I give it to my biological grandfather, and no one can say anything about it.

Shi Yun smiled and said, "I'll let the public know tonight. Those people in the province are always worried about me."

 Maybe it’s the influence of the gods.

Lately, too many people are interested in Lin Zhibai’s works.

Not only Lin Zhibai himself is annoyed, but Hu Wei and Shi Yun are also often annoyed.

Lin Zhibai knows that rare things are valuable, so currently only "Lanting Preface" among his formal calligraphy works has been bought.

Lin Zhibai would not mind selling some more works in the future.

However, even if his music, chess, calligraphy and painting have become gods, the number of these works must not be large, so that the price can be high!

 Finish this conversation.

Hu Wei and Shi Yun also talked about comparing couplets tomorrow.

“The rules of the couplet are different every year. We don’t know what the game will be like this year. We won’t announce it until tomorrow.”

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Li Bai, as the number one couplet player in Qizhou, is quite active in this event. He wants to win a championship!

 “Stop drifting.”

Shi Yun smiled, but there was no rebuke in his tone.

Just because Qizhou has won this intellectual battle between Qi and Chu, even if he loses all the next three events, Chuzhou will only be able to hold on to his dignity!

　　is.

 All the contestants in Qizhou did not feel any pressure, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

 …

the next day.

Lin Zhibai and others went to the competition site.

 Ten masters of couplets took to the stage under the arrangement.

at the same time.

Rebroadcasts in various continents have also begun.

The moment the live broadcast was connected, various messages were posted on the barrage channel:

“I heard that Lin Zhibai has gone crazy killing people. He is a **** in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Can he still win today?”

 “I feel like there’s no problem!”

“I’ll just say a few words and you’ll understand them all: smoke locks pond willows!”

 “Haha, Bai Di’s eternal absolute!”

“We, the richest man, claim to be the king of kings and the king of kings, are we kidding you?”

“This is the first time I have heard of the King of Couplets. I only know that Xu Haiyun has always been known as the King of Couplets!”

 “Li Bai also has the title of King of Couplets!”

“Good guys, all the co-authors and contestants are the kings of pairs?”

“Yes, Lin Zhibai is the king of Qinzhou couplets, Li Bai is the king of Qizhou couplets, and Xu Haiyun is the king of Zhaozhou couplets!”

 The audience knows a lot.

 The situation of the contestants is also well known.

But today’s atmosphere is indeed much more cheerful than the previous four days.

Perhaps it’s because the value of pairs is not that high compared to chess, calligraphy and painting, and it’s a bit of an entertainment game.

Didn’t Master Xing also say that?

“This was just for entertainment, but you actually vomited dozens of taels of blood. I admire you...”

 Cough.

 It’s a joke.

Mainly because of Lin Zhibai's company in Qizhou, among the upcoming film project arrangements is "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

 Let’s get back to business.

 It was during the discussion among all parties that the host appeared on the stage and said with a serious expression:

"Hello friends on the scene and in front of the TV. Today we are competing in the couplet event. If you want to watch the couplet game well enough, you have to be right fast and well. So in the first round today, we will compete Speed, after a while a hundred couplets will appear on the big screen, and the four people with the lowest number will be eliminated..."

 Cerotic than imagined!

 Four were eliminated in the first round!

 The expressions of all the couplet masters suddenly became serious, and some of those with average reaction speed were already sweating profusely.

“The first round of competition lasts half an hour. Everyone has to write the second line on paper. If you can’t write it out, you can skip it. Different lower lines correspond to which upper line. Just mark the serial number.”

 Finish the rules.

The host said: "The competition has officially begun, please look at the big screen!"

　　唰!

 The screen flashed, and a hundred first couplets appeared on it.

Lin Zhibai did not answer the question immediately, but took a quick glance at it and found that the difficulty was not too high.

 So the competition in this round is really just speed and reaction.

  In other words, the test is about basic skills.

With this in mind, Lin Zhibai began to write the second couplet.

 …

Although the couplet competition is not as serious as the events of the first four days, it is undeniable that if the couplet wins the championship, it will also be a gold medal!

　　is.

When the host announced the start, the atmosphere still inevitably became solemn.

 Many spectators even subconsciously held their breath, instinctively feeling the players’ nervousness.

 “Everyone, look.”

Two hosts on site.

The male host smiled and said: "These hundred questions are easier as you go forward and more difficult as you go further back. Therefore, the ten participating teachers answered the first few couplets without any pressure. So far, we can still see There is no obvious difference…”

                                               .

on the stage.

 Ten masters of couplets wrote quickly, looking up at the screen from time to time.

 Five minutes passed.

The male host said: "Teacher Lan Yun seemed to have encountered a problem. He skipped question 13 and answered question 14 directly, while our other nine teachers got all question 13 correct. ” ˆ ˆ Another five minutes passed.

The female host said: "Teacher Zhou Men is also stuck, stuck on question 20."

The male host smiled and said: "Less than a third of the time has passed, and the speed of the couplet masters has obviously slowed down. So far, only four people can still answer questions at a high speed."

 The camera pans.

These four people are Lin Zhibai, Li Bai, Xu Haiyun and a player from Chuzhou named "Makino Feng".

 The topic seems to be quite simple for these four people.

But when fifteen minutes passed, that was halfway through the first round.

Chuzhou player Makino Feng’s speed also slowed down.

“Teacher Makino Feng is having a hard time. It seems that the situation is similar to what everyone expected. The three strongest couplet groups are Lin Zhibai, Li Bai and Xu Haiyun.”

 The male host said.

 The female host nodded.

“I heard that Lin Zhibai is the first person in Qinzhou Couplet, Li Bai is the banner figure of Qizhou Couplet, and Xu Haiyun is the king of Zhaozhou Couplet. The three of them can definitely represent the highest level of Zhou Couplet behind them!”

"right."

The male host appropriately created the atmosphere, “I wonder which continent’s king of couplets will become the only king today?”

The game continues.

 Twenty minutes have passed.

Li Bai finally encountered a problem.

 Question 80.

 I don’t know what’s going on with Lin Zhibai.

I don’t know what’s going on with Xu Haiyun.

Anyway, Li Bai feels that the difficulty of the questions has completely increased. It’s not that he can’t answer it right, but his time is really limited.

 It’s like an exam.

If you can't solve a question, don't waste too much time and give up on the next question.

Li Bai could do the first seventy-nine questions perfectly, but he got stuck after the eighty questions. He was already very good, although he was a little reluctant...

“Teacher Li Bai skipped question 80!”

“Question 80 was really difficult. Teacher Xu Haiyun also paused for a minute before answering.”

 “Oh, Teacher Lin Zhibai has reached 90 questions!”

“The time is almost up, does Lin Zhibai want to answer all 100 questions within the specified time!?”

 Obviously.

 The best performer in the first round is currently Lin Zhibai, and he may also be Lin Zhibai in the end!

 …

 Chinzhou.

“Ah ah ah ah, Bai Di’s speed is far ahead!”

 “Hahahaha, this is the rhythm of answering a hundred questions in half an hour!”

“I feel dizzy when I look at the following questions. Of the hundred questions, I can only answer three or five at most.”

“Our Qinzhou couplets are number one in the world!”

“I just don’t know what the accuracy of these 100 questions is.”

 …

 Qizhou.

 “The richest man’s couplets are so powerful!”

“It’s better to see once than to hear a hundred times. In the past, I only heard about the title of the richest man and the king of kings, but now I know that he is a real master!”

“You’ve forgotten, Heavenly Guest, that the richest man’s couplets were shown so hard in the previous Mid-Autumn Poetry Festival that it stunned many people. In addition, he often shows couplets on live broadcasts!”

“Compared with the speed of answering joint questions, I feel that this is the strongest point of the rich man!”

“Fast answering speed does not mean high accuracy. Let’s see how the judges score later.”

 …

 Chuzhou.

 “Damn it! Lin Zhibai’s speed is so fast!”

"As I said a long time ago, his level of couplets is well-known. Lin Zhibai also has an eternal absolute, called Yansuo Pondliu. You can feel the intensity."

 “Absolute through the ages!”

“In the first round of this couplet, both speed and accuracy were compared. I don’t know how many of the hundred questions Lin Zhibai got wrong.”

“If you answer so quickly, you must be wrong!”

 …

 Zhaozhou.

 “How come Lin Zhibai is so fast!”

“With such a fast speed, can the accuracy be guaranteed?”

“I don’t know what the accuracy rate is. I can only look at the progress of each person’s answering questions. Which question was answered and which question was not answered?”

“So it’s not certain who will win!”

“Yes, although Teacher Xu Haiyun’s speed is a bit slow, I believe his accuracy must be extremely high!”

 …

 Middle-earth.

“There’s one minute left, the difficulty of the last few questions has increased, and Lin Zhibai has slowed down!”

 “I wipe it!”

 “Lin Zhibai has finished answering all the questions!”

 “Xu Haiyun was a little bit behind, answering 98 questions!”

“Li Bai is also pretty good. He answered ninety-six questions. These three people are a bit ahead!”

 …

finally!

Time is up!

Lin Zhibai finished answering all 100 questions, leaving Xu Haiyun and Li Bai with very few questions left.

  In comparison.

 The other seven couplet masters mostly answered around 80 questions.

There are two weaker ones, one only answered more than 50 questions, and the other only answered more than 60 questions.

Of course it’s not necessarily that these two people are weak, it’s also possible that they are just naive and take a long time to think, rather than saying they can’t.

 But in competitions, slow answering is a fatal flaw in itself.

therefore.

 The four people with the fewest answers are almost destined to be eliminated!

 Unless someone answers a lot of questions but has a disastrous accuracy rate, this probability is very small.

 Since you have answered, you are basically confident.

The male host said: "Next, I will ask the judges to give their scores. Please wait for fifteen minutes."

There are 10 judges in total for the Couplet Competition.

Ten people each took a copy of the second couplet to correct the answers.

 After the corrections are completed, the ten people will exchange them one by one to confirm that the corrections of the other judges are reasonable to ensure the greatest degree of fairness.

  After all, there is no standard answer to couplets.

 The same first line can sometimes produce countless different second lines.

 After such a process, the host said:

“Next, I’m going to announce the results of the first round. The first place in this round is Lin Zhibai, who answered a total of 100 questions and scored 98.6 points!”

Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows.

It seems that one or two of the second couplets were not fully answered, or they did not fully communicate with each other, so some points were deducted.

 Fortunately, it is still number one.

 Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Zhibai smiled softly. At this time, he could just pretend to be an expert without saying anything.
