Chapter 580 - The Much-anticipated Episode! (1/2)
The auditorium and the sports ground were all packed with people.
All the students in the university were talking about the show while waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
“Can Fang Qiu be the champion?”
“Absolutely. Fang Qiu is the symbol of our university. If he wins, the ranking of our school will definitely soar to the sky like a rocket!”
“I believe in Fang Qiu. Anyway, from the day I knew him, he has taken first place in every exam and competition. He has never failed. And since he participated in the program called Young Chinese Medicine Doctor, he has ranked top in each of the 11 episodes. And he even skipped some tests and made it directly to the top 15 in the country because of his great strength. With such strength, he will definitely win the championship!”
“Yes, Fang Qiu must be the champion.”
“Have you seen the voting on the Internet? Fang Qiu has way outvoted the other candidates!”
“And the number of people who have wished Fang Qiu to win online is also a majority.”
“Though Fang Qiu is very awesome, we can’t be blindly confident. Up to now, no one has known the rules of this competition. If they competed for the number of patients, Fang Qiu would absolutely be the winner. But what if the criterion is something else?”
“Well, no matter whether Fang Qiu can win the championship or not, for me, he is the number one!”
At the same time, a variety of jokes began to appear on the Internet.
Because it was the last episode, the attention this show had drawn was off the charts.
Almost everything had been given way to today’s Young Chinese Medicine Final. Even some other entertaining programs could only be announced to be suspended in order not to become cannon fodder.
Under this circumstance, the attention the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor received had reached an unprecedented level.
And the various doubts left by the previous episodes also became the focus of public discussion.
“What are the exact rules?”
“What is it that they’re competing for in this session?”
“Are they going to select the champion of the top 10 contestants? Or will there be several rounds of elimination tonight? For example, narrow it down from 10 to five, then five to three, and finally three to one?”
There were all kinds of discussions.
In a trice, it was eight o’clock in the evening.
Because the program was altered from video broadcast to live broadcast, the program’s broadcast time was rescheduled from the original 8:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. sharp.
It was time.
All the relatives and friends of the contestants waiting in front of the TV all took a deep breath in spite of themselves.
Meanwhile, the audience in the entire country also began to focus on the show.
The final competition finally kicked off!
Tonight, the opening title of the program was somewhat different.
With the theme song that Fang Qiu performed playing as the background music, the usual beginning of the program was replaced by a replay of the classic moments of the previous 10 episodes.
Scene after scene flashed past the screen, each coupled with various kinds of powerful calligraphy. The pictures gave the audience a very tense feeling, faintly making them feel that there would be swords drawn at each other in the final!
After reviewing the previous 10 episodes of the program, the TV screen suddenly turned dark.
“Dreams are still going on.
“The champion is on the way!”
Two lines of white words in beautiful penmanship were drawn on the pitch-black picture.
Then, the characters started to fade.
A figure slowly appeared.
This person was the host of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor.
“Friends and audience at the scene and in front of the TV, good evening!” said the host in a booming voice.
The audience immediately burst into a round of warm applause.
The camera closely followed the host.
“The 11-episode show has created the top 10 contestants in the country. On this fierce battlefield, who will rush out of the enemy’s territory and be crowned the winner?”
At this point, the host turned around and pointed to the big screen with his right hand.
At the precise moment, 10 golden cards emerged on the big screen.
“Fang Qiu!”
As the host shouted out the name, the first golden card was flipped, revealing a photo of Fang Qiu.
That was followed by the introductions of the other nine contestants.
“Step by step, they made themselves stand out from tens of thousands of Chinese Medicine doctors. Eventually, they made it to the stage of the final!
“Here are the stairs leading to the honor. Here is the stepping stone to the throne.
“Then, who on earth can win the ultimate glory?
“Let’s start right away!”
After that, the host walked to his own podium and again said to the camera, “I know that you are all very interested in the rules of this episode. There are many people talking about it online. I’m also curious about it. Before I stood on this stage, I didn’t know what the rules were either. But now I know.”
“So next, I’ll announce the rules of this final match!”
As soon as he said that, everyone, whether watching the live broadcast on the scene, on TVs, computers, or smartphones, immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
“In fact, all the matches have been conducted,” declared the host.
Hearing this, everyone was thrown into a daze!
“The competition is already over?”
“When did it end?”
The 1,000 people sitting at the audience seats looked at each other in confusion. They were all loyal audiences of the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor. Their tickets to the final were all issued by the program team.
It was also because they paid close attention to the Young Chinese Medicine Doctor that they knew very well about the contents of each episode.
“Didn’t they just select the top 10 in the last episode? Why did it suddenly come to an end?”
“Does it mean that there is no more competition tonight?”
“It can’t be, can it?”
Not only the audience at the scene but also those who were watching the live broadcast at different places were also dumbfounded.
“What’s going on?”
“The show is just beginning. How could it end now?”
