Chapter 430 - Her Counterattack Was Merciless (1/2)

Occasionally, Yun Xi would create the illusion that she was trying hard to answer but, just as she was about to answer, someone else was one step ahead.

Zhou Chengzhe kept staring at Yun Xi’s score, but he forgot to stare at the scores of the other contestants.

On Yun Xi’s team, Li Sinuo became the first person to get kicked out of the contest because of a wrong answer.

Yun Xi hadn’t answered a single question. If she got zero points, then Li Sinuo would be able to get points from Yun Xi.

It was precisely because of this rule that Li Sinuo could answer confidently without being afraid of getting zero points. Being able to deduct points from Yun Xi felt gratifying.

But then, unexpectedly, just as she thought she was going to be able to deduct from Yun Xi’s score, Yun Xi started a counterattack.

She counterattacked with one question after another, without mercy. Every time she rushed to answer, she would get the question one step faster than anyone else.

She answered six questions in a row, and, once she rushed to answer, the person with the lowest score on the team became Li Sinuo. If she answered one wrong question, she would be out.

Knowing that she was impatient, Yun Xi glanced at her and deliberately slacked off on a problem that was seemingly simple but easy to get wrong. Yun Xi knew Li Sinuo would rush to answer the problem without thinking.

Sure enough, Li Sinuo didn’t let her down and got the wrong answer.

The question looked simple, but it was actually full of traps. These kind of questions were the most misleading.

The judge’s voice came over the microphone from the judges’ stage: “Li Sinuo, 0 points, out!”

Li Sinuo turned her head in annoyance and shot daggers from her eyes at Yun Xi.

Seeing that Yun Xi then answered quickly and correctly, Li Sinuo was sure that she had slacked off on purpose.

She’d deliberately gotten her kicked out of the game first, but her target wasn’t Li Sinuo, but rather Zhou Chengzhe.

At first, Li Sinuo had thought that Yun Xi had been underperforming today, but she hadn’t expected her speed to catch up so quickly.

It wasn’t only that she had been underperforming, but that she had hidden her strength starting when the number of contestants went from 50 to ten.

Originally, she’d been planning to use the rumors to make Zhou Chengzhe deal with Yun Xi. Zhou Chengzhe had lived up to expectations and really wanted to provoke her.
