Chapter 187 - 187: I Just Watched It

There was no applause. Everyone was stunned. That could work?

Four choices. Although there was a one in four chance that she guessed the right answer, it was suspicious that she got it right every time.

Clarence laughed, "What a lucky girl! Ada, you must be familiar with the battle. Can you tell us about it?"

Ada paused, forced a smile, "I... I don't know much about it. I just guessed. I didn't expect to get it right. I'm just lucky."

The audience started talking about it.

"Even the pupils know the battle, right?"

"She doesn't even know that? Speaking of which, she seemed to know only the answers to all the questions but could not give a single explanation. That's strange."

"I feel like there is something wrong with her. Otherwise, how could she get so many questions right at her level?"

Even Lucas could not help saying, "I know. A Japanese air strike on Pearl Harbor, the naval base of the US Pacific Fleet. Right? My teacher told us about it in class. I love the Japanese aircraft, and they're awesome. It's just that they're easy to hit."

Aunt Mcdowell couldn't help but grab Lucas' ear, "Unload the game software on your phone."

Clarence said, "Let's move on. The next one is a vision question. Although it's one point, don't underestimate it."

A five-minute video began playing on the big screen. It was a clip from the hit TV show, the Allure. On the show, the heroine Mary, who was played by Nicole, was dancing to the emperor. Her dance was graceful and moving, and the emperor was so attracted by her that he couldn't move his eyes from her.

When the video was finished, Clarence asked, "Here is the question…"

When he said the words, Ada was on the impulse to press the button, but she had to hold back. There could be thousands of different kinds of questions about this video. It would be suspicious if she could guess the question.

Clarence said, "The question is, what color is the dress of the third girl in the opening?"

Hardly had he finished when the buzzer was pressed.

It was Sophia who got the one.

At once, there was another round of warm applause.

Ada took two questions from Sophia and got them right by "luck", which made the audience unhappy and aggrieved for Sophia.

When Sophia finally got one, the audience was looking forward to it.

It was not an easy question. When they watched the video, they only noticed the heroine Mary, as for the third dancer, no one noticed her, let alone the color of her dress.

Ada blushed with anger. She knew she couldn't get the question after the host finished reading it.

Sophia was just quick to react.

"Pink," Sophia answered.

"The answer is… correct!" Clarence shouted.

After playing back the video on the big screen, everyone found that the problem was far more difficult than they thought.

The picture of the dancers lining up appeared for only a second, and then the shot was given to Mary. When the camera turned back, the dancers had already begun to dance, and their order had changed, and no one knew which was the third dancer.

The audience watched the video again, but the picture passed before they had time to see the color of the dancer's dress.

After the video was played, the audience spontaneously applauded. The question was so difficult that only an intelligent person could answer it right.

In this way, Ada's hard-won point was offset by Sophia. The gap between them was still five points.

They had answered five questions, and there were ten more. Ada calculated that if she wanted to win, she had to get at least eight questions and answer them correctly.

In other words, as long as Sophia got three more questions, she won't have a chance to win.

However, among these questions, there might also be questions like "Germany." For this kind of question, the answer was among the options. In this way, there were not many opportunities left for her.

She must take her chances. If she failed to win the championship, she would not make it to the finals. In this way, she won't receive any attention.

She wanted to become famous on this show, and she would not allow an unexpected person like Sophia to sabotage her plans.

Clarence said, "All right. Let's move on… In China, the earliest mythological…"

Before he could finish, Sophia pressed the buzzer.

Clarence laughed, "Sophia got this one. All right, tell us your answer, please. I haven't finished saying it yet, so don't be mad at me if you guess it wrong."

Sophia said, "You want to ask about the earliest mythological novel in China, right? Or… the author. So the novel is Stories of Immortals and the author is Gan Bao, a historian in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is a collection of novels with four hundred and fifty-four stories in twenty volumes."

Although Clarence had not yet announced the answer, Ada looked quite angry.

She tried to hit the buzzer button after Clarence said the word "novel." Still, it was too late. Sophia was one step ahead.

She knew the question and the answer. Obviously, Sophia answered it right.

This girl, she just would not make any mistake.

Sure enough, Clarence announced, "Right answer, congratulations! One point for contestant number seven, Sophia. This question only asked about the name of the novel. I didn't expect Sophia to know the novel so well."

Sophia said, "I just watched it."

Naturally, she would not tell him that, with her good memory, she could memorize everything once she watched it.

Ada's nerves tightened when Sophia answered the question correctly. If Sophia got two more questions, she had no chance of winning.

She couldn't let Sophia get one more question.

Clarence said, "The next one was about music. Please listen…"

Ada gave a smile. She had seen some comments about Sophia from her classmates, saying that she knew nothing about music.

So, she could not answer the question.

She didn't know music, either. But she knew the answer.

A burst of music sounded. After a few melodies, Ada couldn't wait to press the button.

Clarence said, "Ada pressed the button… But I haven't said the question yet. You know what I'm gonna ask?"
