Chapter 152: Effortless Victory
"The instructions for the final stage are quite simple." The host said as he climbed onto the stage.
"Right here are twenty judges from twenty countries with no qualified representative. They will be here to supervise and make sure that every…."
"The questions would be displayed on the screen over here. Each contestant will press the button in front of them if they know the correct answer to a question.
A strike will be given if you ring the bell without knowing the correct answer."
After giving a lot more rules, the competition began.
As soon as the first question was displayed on the screen, the sound of a bell rang out.
Rong Yue stood by her assigned desk, watching the entire process. As someone that was careful, she didn't want to answer the first question so that she could see the whole process play out.
The first question was answered correctly by that student, and the second question was displayed. In the first second that the question was put up, Rong Yue pressed her buzzer bell and then selected the answer.
The entire process wasn't even up to ten seconds, and it was almost like she hadn't given the remaining the chance to participate.
Wu Hao, that was standing beside her, smiled as he watched her. Nobody knew how intelligent Rong Yue really was as much as he did.
In fact, to a certain extent, the things that would have taken Wu Hao about three years to master, Rong Yue had shortened the time to two months for him.
In his mind, she was no longer a genius but was more like a monster-level AI.
"Correct! Ten points to participant Rong Yue." A woman from the judges' section replied.
She was from the same continent as Rong Yue's country and could pronounce her name correctly.
For the next five questions, Rong Yue answered them in the same manner, shocking the entire audience and judges.
Now she had about sixty points, while only one other participant had ten points.
Rong Yue gave Wu Hao a knowing glance after she answered the fifth question. Since they were beside each other and had studied together for a while, Wu Hao understood what she meant, and so as soon as the next question came on, he pressed the buzzer and solved it as quickly as he could.
The time slot for answering was a minute, and he finished in fifty seconds. After getting one point, he answered the next two questions, giving him thirty points.
For the next question, as soon as it came on, he removed his hands from the buzzer as he saw that his chances of getting it correctly weren't sure.
One of the other participants answered the questions and made the audience sigh in relief. For the last nine questions, one country had totally dominated and didn't leave a chance for the others.
However, they were too quick to relax as Rong Yue answered the next five questions without any gap. At this point, she had a total of 100 points, while Wu Hao had 30 points.
Both of them maintained the same routine. She would answer five questions and then let Wu Hao answer the ones he knew next. Once he skipped a question and gave another country, she would then take a turn again.
Initially, this section of the examination had about a hundred questions. With the number of participants, if each person answered an equal amount, they would all have fifty points.
However, Rong Yue alone already had 200 points from answering twenty questions, while Wu Hao had 120 points.
They didn't need a guess to know how the competition would go.
Most of the other participants were also glaring at Rong Yue, especially the ones that didn't have any point at all.
Rong Yue left the next thirteen questions for the other countries, loosening the competition room's atmosphere.
However, for the audience watching, many of them were speculating that the girl was letting them win because she didn't want to answer all the questions.
The first half ended, and they were left with fifty questions.
Rong Yue did the same and answered a total of twenty questions from the fifty, while Wu Hao answered ten. As the second section was even more difficult, he couldn't meet up with the twelve he had answered in the first section.
With his previous twelve questions, he had a total of 220 points, while Rong Yue had a total of 400 points.
The both of them sat down daringly as if telling the audience that they were already done with the competition.
This type of competition left no suspense, and while the other eighteen participants fought for who was going to be the third position, the other two just sat and watched.
Outside the hall, the two ambassadors got calls from the country ordering them to make sure that Rong Yue didn't leave their presence.
It wasn't that their country didn't have talents, but most of the time, the foreign government would snatch them up as soon as they were discovered, making it difficult for them to serve the country and add to their country's shine.
Looking at how Rong Yue had answered questions in ten seconds and calmly, they were certain that most of the top universities overseas would reach out to her.
"Yes, sir, we planned to let them enjoy the country for two more days, but as it is, we would book the first flight for tomorrow morning." The first ambassador promised.
"No, let them take an excursion. Let her know that the government sponsors everything. If you bring them back in a rush like that, they would think the country doesn't think much of them!" The person on the other end argued quickly.
"Allow her to buy anything she wants. I would contact her teachers and family here in the country. It would be best if she stayed with us. Her potential is limitless."
"Also, that boy, the both of them have a certain chemistry. Since they are from the same school, they might have a relationship. It's better if you get the boy to stay also, and that way, the girl would want to stay also."
After giving all the necessary information, the person hung up to start the other processes.
