Chapter 170 - 170: The Final

Sophia instinctively ducked when she saw the ball coming her way. She had to admit that Charles threw much better than Molly. The ball hit the back of Sophia's chair and fell to the ground. If she hadn't ducked, the ball would have gone straight into her arms.

Then everyone looked at Sophia and wondered if she would pick up the ball.

Sophia was here to help Molly, but Charles was a handsome guy, maybe she would change her mind for him.

Sophia felt uncomfortable. She was just an audience. Why did they always focus on her? Charles threw the ball to her. What was he thinking about?

Did he think she would betray her friend at such a time for him, a philanderer?

Was he crazy?

At this time, Lucas bent down and picked up the ball.

Clarence had thought there might be a big reversal and was thinking about how to deal with it. As a host, improvisation was a test of his hosting skills. He couldn't figure out what he should say for a moment if Sophia chose to answer the question for Charles.

He was relieved to see a little boy picking up the ball. The situation was easier for him to control.

Charles was angry. It was obvious that Sophia didn't take his ball on purpose. She wouldn't help him.

Since the ball was picked up by a kid, he would lose the game.

Clarence went to Lucas, bent down to match his height, and smiled, "Sweetie, you got the ball, so you are going to answer the question."

Lucas looked confused. "I picked it up for fun... I didn't know I had to answer the question. But I'm only in the first grade. I don't know the answer. Or I'll give it back to you..."

Hearing that, Charles didn't give up and said, "You can ask the sister beside you."

But Clarence refuted him, "No. Only the person who gets the ball can answer the question, and he can't ask anyone else."

Lucas looked sad, "I don't know your question."

Clarence repeated the question to him, "The question is, what is in the hand of a girl in a green dress in the video?"

Lucas frowned and thought. "A girl in a green dress… Is she a lady? I know."

Clarence was surprised, "You know?"

Lucas gave a solemn nod. "She is holding a rocket gun… It shoots with great accuracy."

Clarence didn't know what to say.

The audience roared. This kid must be into playing games.

Charles looked sad. It was obvious that he lost the game.

According to the rules, the question could only be answered by the audience who picked up the ball. Charles had no chance to fix it. If he didn't ask for help, he could at least make a guess. After all, the girl was in a ball; the things she might hold were not many. He might get it right.

Not surprisingly, the system judged the answer wrong and showed the correct answer.

On the screen, there was a girl in the green dress. She held a piece of cake and was eating slowly. In the video, she only appeared for a second, then the picture changed.

So, the right answer was cake.

The winner was decided. Charles lost five points for giving the wrong answer and had thirty points left. Molly got five points, so she had forty-six points. The gap between them was sixteen points. Even if Charles answered another five-point question right, his score was still far behind Molly.

As long as Molly was not crazy, she would not choose a question with over three points and answered it wrong.

Clarence smiled and said, "Molly, how about giving Charles a chance and choosing a three-point question?"

If Molly couldn't answer the three-point question and Charles answered a five-point question, their scores would be even.

But Molly didn't want to take any more risks, she replied, "No. I choose a one-point question."

Clarence said, "Well, let's see the one-point question."

The one-point question was easy. Molly got a multiple-choice question. Q: Which knight found the Grail?

The four choices were Galahad, Percivale, Lancelot, and Arthur.

However, Molly stayed when she saw the question. It was not difficult. But she didn't know it.

She didn't think it was Percivale or Arthur. But… was it Lancelot or Galahad?

She was relaxed. She would win even if she got it wrong. After thinking about it, she said, "I'll ask for help and let the audience vote."

Clarence said, "Ok, everybody. There are many buttons on your armrests. The red button stands for A, Galahad, green for B, Percivale, yellow for C, Lancelot, and blue for D, Arthur. Vote now."

This studio was not just for the Super Quiz, and the voting buttons on the armrests were not specially set for answering questions. There were a lot of buttons, but with no letters below them, so Clarence had to explain to them.

Lucas wanted to help Molly choose the right answer, so he asked in a loud voice, "Which one, sister?"

"Red."

Lucas turned to aunt Mcdowell and shouted, "Mum, she said it's red."

Many people who were unsure of the answer looked unconsciously in Sophia's direction. When they heard Lucas, they all pressed the red button.

Soon, the vote was over. On the screen, red is the dominant color. Then it showed the right answer, Galahad.

"The answer is right," said Clarence.

After this question, only Charles had one question to answer. But it didn't help. He couldn't catch up. He chose a three-point question at will. It was not difficult, and he answered easily.

When the quiz was over, Clarence announced the final result: Molly won!

Of course, there was no suspense. The audience had expected it. It is not exciting at all.

Nicole awarded Molly the trophy and certificate, hugged her gently, and said with a smile, "Good job, Molly! I'm waiting to see you in the final."

Molly sighed, "The final…"

Sophia would be in the final. So, Molly never expected to win the final. Thanks to Sophia's help, Molly could win the game. With her strength, it was the limit she could reach.

Next, she had better prepare for the College Entrance Examination.

When the show ended, Sophia was surrounded by a few of her twitter followers before she could leave.
