Chapter 188

"The rules for the Blackout Position Challenge in the Preparatory Competition are as follows:

Contestants can practice in their respective preparation rooms first, and after five minutes, the 1V1 Trial Room will open. Contestants can choose whether to enter the Trial Room or not based on the situation.

Note that in the Three-Player Challenge Mode, if the challenged contestant has not entered the Trial Room within 2 minutes after it opens, the two challengers will receive an additional 30 seconds of initial challenge time.

If during the 1V1 Trial stage, the challenged contestant loses twice consecutively, their initial challenge time will automatically be deducted by one minute."

In other words, no matter how proficient Ji Ruochu was, she had to enter the Trial Room within two minutes after it opened, or else the challengers would gain challenge time.

And she couldn't lose two games in a row, or else she would be at a double disadvantage from the start.

To be honest, Ji Ruochu didn't care much about the time. Whether it was one minute more or one minute less didn't matter. What mattered was... it was a little embarrassing.

Therefore, after the five minutes of individual preparation time ended, Ji Ruochu went straight into the Trial Room.

"Contestant Ji Ruochu has entered the Trial Room, but has not been matched with an opponent yet. The Trial Room has not started."

At the same time, the two people who were still getting accustomed in the preparation room suddenly looked up.

She prepared so quickly?

The comments were utterly perplexed:

[Did I miss something? How come there wasn't any footage from the preparation room? Did the program team just eat that five minutes?]

[Geez, show us how the cub prepared already!]

However, the post-production team, which had been very in sync with the comments before, seemed to have forgotten this time, and the footage only showed the Trial Room.

And at that moment, Ji Ruochu, sitting in the Trial Room, looked at the empty doorway twice, then laid her head on the table and closed her eyes to rest.

Her carefree demeanor drew a chorus of sighs from the spectators' seats.

"Too powerful!"

"No, her mentality is too..."

"No wonder there are so many haters online, she's not affected at all. The top dog's mindset is truly formidable."

Fans: ...That kind of makes sense?

Haters: ...Well said, don't say anything next time.

It wasn't until the post-production team showed the text [Two minutes later] that a figure appeared in the Trial Room - it was -

"Contestant Bei Lingyu has entered the Trial Room. The Trial Room is about to start."

As this announcement played, everyone present was extremely excited.

But at this moment, the footage showed a post-match interview:

"When you heard that Bei Lingyu entered the Trial Room before you, what was your feeling at the time?"

"No feeling, I just felt that my teammate was too impatient." Quan Tianheng looked completely nonchalant, "But it's good for him to test the waters first. Getting crushed... it's better to adapt to that feeling in advance."

"Aren't you worried that you'll be the only one left behind?"

"Impossible." Quan Tianheng smiled, "I can't say about other events, but... let me put it this way, my memory ability allows me to be just as good as playing with open cards even if I'm completely blindfolded in this event."

The comments at this time:

[...This is the terror of a memory master.]

[Surely not?]

[So powerful, why didn't he go to the Trial Room? Is he just talking big?]

"Then why didn't you go to the Trial Room first?" The interviewer asked the question on everyone's mind.

"Because... she went already."

Comments: ?? What does that mean?

After saying this, perhaps aware of the other person's confusion, Quan Tianheng chuckled softly and said slowly:

"Don't be fooled by her seemingly arrogant demeanor now. In fact... she is an extremely cautious person. For someone so risk-averse to act so arrogantly, it just shows how confident she is in this event." 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶

The footage abruptly ended, and the scene immediately cut back to the preparation room, where Ji Ruochu and Bei Lingyu were already seated at their respective answer desks.

"After the Trial starts, contestants will have three minutes to observe the game board. During these three minutes, contestants can decide whether to initiate the challenge or not. After three minutes, the challenge will start automatically.

When a wrong answer is given, the game board will light up again, and contestants will have one minute of observation time to decide whether to continue or change the question."

"Is the Trial about to begin? Are both contestants ready?"

The two nodded.

"The Trial officially begins!"

As the AI assistant spoke, the large screen split into two parts, showing the game boards and facial expressions of the two contestants.

However, before the audience could fully observe the two game boards, a notification sound rang out.

"Ding."

"Ji Ruochu has completed observation and entered answer mode."

!!!!!

The comments at this time were filled with question marks.

She started already?

Dang, they haven't even seen all the colors yet!

[Hey cub, did you click the wrong button?]

[Help, I'm getting goosebumps all over!]

So, did Ji Ruochu really prepare well, or did she click the wrong button?
