Chapter 1314: Why Bother
The second the host announced the first question, Nangong Nuannuan pressed the answer button on the machine and answered the first question.
However, after that, the second, third, fourth, and fifth questions were all snatched up by the Yamato team.
The expressions on the students’ faces changed.
It was not until Nangong Nuannuan snatched the sixth question that the students’ expressions softened.
However, after Nangong Nuannuan finished answering the question and confirmed that she obtained the point, she said, “Mr. Host.”
“Student No. 2, what’s the matter?”
“There’s something wrong with our answering machine,” Nangong Nuannuan said bluntly in front of the livestream.
The host smiled. “There will definitely be no problem with the answer button. This button has been reviewed by international judges.”
Was he implying that they bribed the international judges?
“Of course, I believe in those judges, but I would like to ask, when did the judges examine the machine? I’ve already tried it earlier, and our buttons are slower than the opponent’s button by 0.3 seconds. To ensure the fairness of the competition, I hope that the host and the international judges can help us examine the buttons again.”
Below the stage, the majority of the audience did not express any opinion. At most, they felt that the Camino team was more troublesome. However, some of the less cultured audiences started to boo them.
The host refused to help the Camino team check the answering machine. He said, “Miss, our answering machine is definitely not problematic. This is because before you went on stage, our professional staff had just gone through the second examination. Nothing can go wrong.”
“Then, please remove the staff who tested the machine earlier and find someone else to do the test for us, okay?”
The host did not know whether to laugh or cry at Nangong Nuannuan’s words, but he had been rendered speechless for sure.
However, in an international competition like this, many people were watching. The other party’s participants had already raised their doubts. If he refused, the people from Camino might really think that there was something fishy.
Therefore, the host had no choice but to get the approval of the staff on the program team before asking the people in charge from both the Z and R sides for their opinions.
To avoid exposing herself, Zhou Jimin took the lead to express her trust in the R’s side. The host was ready to continue the competition before Guo Zhennan spoke up, “I’m the one in charge. What others say doesn’t count.”
Then, under Zhou Jimin’s look that said ‘why bother’, Guo Zhennan demanded a detailed examination of the answering machine and firmly refused to let the staff who came up to check just now reexamine the machine.
The people from the television station checked the answering machine again and explained—
The answering machine had really been tampered with. The response time on Z’s side was 0.37 seconds slower than R’s.
The people below the stage were shocked. They did not expect the student to be right.
This was so embarrassing!
The host blushed and quickly apologized to Camino’s team.
To ensure the fairness of the competition, the host suggested to the program team that they should clear up the points for the answers and start again.
The host’s suggestion received the audience’s support.
Even though they were all from Yamato, winning was winning, and losing was losing. If they lost, they would find their weaknesses and practice more, and they could still win next time. However, if they won the trophy through trickery, it would be an unfair and shameless victory.
Undeniably, Nangong Nuannuan had to admire how cultured the people of their nation were in this aspect.
