292 Zhou Rans Breakdown (2/2)
”Professor Tang, it looks like...Ye Lingchen is correct again this time...” Zhang Yu's voice trembled. The only thing he could feel was a direct impact on his world view.
”He's correct a-a-gain?” Professor Tang looked up and saw the eye-catching tick. Ye Lingchen had scored another point.
”Old Bai, am I dreaming?” The trembling Professor Tang grabbed Professor Bai. His old face was red and his breathing became rapid, almost to the extent of panting. ”No, this isn't good. My brain is not working anymore. I'm starting to hallucinate. Quick! Call an ambulance!”
”Old Tang, you're not hallucinating. This really is happening!” Professor Bai quickly appeased Professor Tang. ”Calm your heartbeat down and take care of your body. Be careful of getting a heart attack!”
Everyone there were expert mathematicians. If the first time was pure luck, then the probability that he would be lucky a second time was 0.03%, which was practically impossible.
The hubbub at the scene vanished. Everyone looked at Ye Lingchen in a daze.
At that point, the third question had already begun.
Zhou Ran was hit hard by what happened. Thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he looked at Ye Lingchen in horror. The next moment, his pupils expanded considerably and he saw Ye Lingchen mouth beginning to open.
What the f*ck! Was that b*stard going to answer again?!
”The answer to this question is root 3 plus 1.”
The faint voice sounded like thunder in Zhou Ran's ear, making his head buzz.
Sweat began flowing profusely down his cheek, yet he could not care less about it and simply stared at the screen.
He finally lost all control when he saw a big tick--Ye Lingchen managed to snag another point. His heart crumbled and tears were gushing out. The next moment, he wailed and howled on the spot!
”HUHUHUHU...” Zhou Ran covered his mouth in desperation and cried frantically with a look of despair. He then ran off the stage.
It was a blow that struck not only his IQ but also his psyche.
Who would have thought that Ye Lingchen was such a freak? To think that he could answer as soon as the question was given. The change from slacker to prodigy was so strong a contrast that Zhou Ran was crushed. In addition, Ye Lingchen answered before Zhou Ran could even finish reading those questions. The blow made Zhou Ran doubt his existence for the very first time. 'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?'
The pressure was too strong and he eventually found himself unable to continue any further.
”This is...” The host was briefly stunned before saying, ”It appears a player has already given up this match. The first team to win is...Capital.”
Wow!
Everyone went into a frenzy.
”Who is that kid? Why is he such a freak?”
”A wolf in sheep's clothing. This is a typical example of a wolf in sheep's clothing. Many of us have been fooled by that kid!”
”Zhou Ran was beaten so badly by that kid. So miserable, so ruthless!”
”Capital is really unkind. They hid such a secret weapon and pretended to be all sad and depressed. It'll be a shame if they don't become actors!”
”Yeah, if you look at their team, they're still playing along with their shocked looks. They're doing a good job at pretending!”
