Chapter 417 - Please Explain This Question, Fang Qiu! (2/2)

Therefore, while the judge was giving comments, he quickly checked on the hand cards to find some simple questions.

After a while, he finally found a couple of questions that marked “simple”.

As soon as he gave the questions, the rest of the contestants got them all right.

After five more questions, the host felt that the atmosphere on the stage was a bit flat without the excitement of the competition.

After all, it was his job as the host to set the mood.

“Next question.” The host took a look at the question and said, “This is not a difficult question, but much harder than it.”

Although this was the first time that they heard about a much more difficult question, the contestants on the stage were still trying to be more concentrated.

They had to be more careful because they were about to get into the next round.

The live director knew what the host was thinking and he was also aware that the show could get a little boring if they kept asking the simple questions. Therefore, he didn’t interfere.

“Please listen to the question.” The host said, “A child who is about 2 years old suffers from diarrhea for a week. His symptoms include loss of appetite, monophagia, defecating about three to four times a day recently, diarrhea after taking food, yellowish complexion, pale tongue, and pink fingerprints. What treatment should be the first choice?

“A Fumigation. B Wiping. C Cutting Therapy. D Chiropractic Therapy. E Cupping Therapy.”

Many people’s reaction was the same as what they had when they heard the last difficult question.

A lot of people were dumbfounded.

They absolutely had no idea.

They could do the treatment or prescribe some medicine, but they didn’t know what the best treatment was yet.

How were they supposed to learn all the treatments?

However, there were so many different contestants here. Some of them were confused while others were confident.

The host said, “Please answer the question.”

Without hesitation, Fang Qiu immediately wrote down his answer “D” on the answering machine.

Ten seconds later. “Please show your answers.”

As all the contestants’ answers were shown, and many lights went out again.

On the big screen, the number jumped from 197 to 167. 30 people got eliminated.

On the stage, those who got it right were pleased, and those who got it wrong were morose.

They had no idea that the other contestants’ questions would be so difficult!

However, they couldn’t blame it on the person who wrote the question. Everyone was making every effort to come up with a difficult question so as to get others eliminated.

Unfortunately, those who got eliminated were not competent enough.

However, the live director was going to lose his temper.

How long had this been going on? So many people had already left the stage.

How could they get enough recording time for the show?

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, this was a competition. Even if they were recording, there was no possibility to do it again!

Therefore, he could just pray that they got enough time for this episode.

“Judges?” On the stage, the host was going to ask the judges to explain.

However, at this moment, a contestant suddenly raised his hand and clapped the button on the answering machine in front of him.

The sound immediately got everyone’s attention.

The host also turned to look at him.

The contestant with his hand up was a young man with a buzz cut, sitting in the fourth row.

The host asked, “Do you have any questions, contestant?”

“I came up with this question. I’m Zheng Chao.” The young man directly introduced himself.

“Oh, yes, I’m sorry I forgot to mention your name before I read the question.” The host laughed.

“That’s not why I raised my hand.” Zheng Chao shook his head and looked down at Fang Qiu’s position. He continued, “Fang Qiu answered my question correctly. I’m very curious. I want to know how he knew the answer. So I’d like him to explain, please.”

When that came out, the crowd was quite surprised.

All of them turned to look at Fang Qiu. Obviously, he was challenging Fang Qiu.

In front of all these people, he did this in a show which would be aired.

Although everyone treated Fang Qiu as an opponent, no one dared to stand out and go against Fang Qiu. After all, they thought they might act modestly in the competition on television.

None of them expected that Zheng Chao actually did the thing that they were afraid to do.

Not just the contestants, the live director also jumped for joy as he saw this because that was what he wanted.

That was the real spice, the attraction, the thrill!

No matter how dull they were in the past several minutes, they got enough materials as long as they pulled this off.

As he became the focus of the stage, Fang Qiu raised his hand and asked, “Can I answer that?”

“Yes, yes, let him respond.” The excited voice of the live director came from the host’s headset.

“Well, let’s hear what Fang Qiu has to say about it.” The host nodded.

“All right.” With a smile, Fang Qiu opened his mouth. “Actually, this question is very simple.”

When that came out, the thirty people who had been eliminated turned gloomy and their faces darkened. “Simple? My ass! If it were easy, why would we be eliminated?”
