77: Open-minded innocent victims

Open-minded innocent victims

Qin Yan hadn't expected these four students to be so openminded.1

Although she was targeting Jixia's representative…

She had also deprived the contestants from the other four schools of a chance to answer.

They had been implicated by such an absurd calamity.

As innocent victims of such a calamity, they should have been quite vexed by the situation.

She had a reason for targeting the contestants from Jixia.

However, she had no hard feelings for the students from these other four schools.

"Do your best in the next round as well." Ge Youyi grinned at Qin Yan as he waved his hand. Then he returned to the contestants' stand.

The other three students also encouraged Qin Yan.

Once they'd returned to their seats, the host announced, "Now let's start the seventh round."

"Would each team please send their representative on stage," the host said.

Every team was now carefully choosing who they wanted to compete for them. Only Shengyang High school was sitting idle. Some of the team members even wanted to head back to their resting room to grab a few snacks.

The Jixia Academy's team was sitting right next to Shengyang High school's. Seeing them acting so casually and relaxed made them angry.

The teacher who was in charge of the Jixia Academy team said "Huang Mingshun, you're up. Your main expertise is in this field anyway."

Huang Mingshun nodded and stood up. "I don't believe that there's any way that she could whiz through the seventh round the same way that she did for the fifth and sixth rounds."

"People have their strengths, but they also have their weaknesses," Lin Zhenhui said in a serious voice. "Her expertise in the first two fields is already highly admirable and so very unexpected. She can't continue to do as well in the third round of hers."

Si Cheng high school, Longmen city's high school, S International high school, and Jia Yong High school had sent up their representatives.

As she passed by Qin Yan, a student from Si Cheng high school quietly said, "We just discussed the situation with student Guang. You don't have to worry about us. If you can do what you did in the past two rounds in this seventh round, go for it. Don't worry about us."

Afterward, she left in a hurry… Just in case people saw and thought there was some sort of cheating going on…

When S International high school's student passed by, he also said in a hurry, "Don't worry about us, just give it your all!"

Jia Yong High school and Longmen city's high school's students also came by with the same message.

When passing by Qin Yan, they all slowed down and quickly expressed their feelings.

It was obvious now that they didn't mind Qin Yan's actions at all.

Qin Yan didn't say anything.

Just exactly how arrogant and flamboyant was Jixia Academy?

They must have really insulted the other schools.

Huang Mingshun was the last contestant to go on stage. He agreed with Qin Yan on the question of the buzzer.

"Qin Yan, my classmates have been humiliated enough by you," he said angrily. "If you have the ability, do the same as you did before and fight for the buzzer without looking at the questions."

"All right." Qin Yan nodded. Then she replied, "But since it was your idea to tell me to do this, don't say that I wasn't giving you a chance to answer when I press the buzzer first."

You classmates are so very weird…

Huang Mingshun choked. He didn't actually think Qin Yan would agree.

Did she really plan to keep this tactic of hers going, or was this just a simple bluff?

Huang Mingshun couldn't help himself. He had to ask. "Aren't you worried you'll answer wrong?"

"So?" Qin Yan maintained a nonchalant expression. "I already got 19 points in the previous two rounds. Even if I answer some wrong, I have enough points as backup. If I fight for the buzzer, you won't even get a chance to answer at all."

If you can, you could do the same and follow in my footsteps.

Huang Mingshun had nothing to say.

He really was taken aback by Qin Yan's words.

He wouldn't dare to do that.

Huang Mingshun now thought that he understood the truth.

The two previous rounds had been so intense because she carried this mentality.

If he had known that they could do this from the beginning, his team would've done the same. After all, they were ahead of Shengyang high school in the first four rounds.

There was absolutely no need for them to become so passive now.

Huang Mingshun couldn't help but look back at the Jixia Academy's area.

The crowd from Jixia were looking at him strangely.

What had he said to Qin Yan? Why was he looking back at them?

After this conversation with Qin Yan, Huang Mingshun was fairly confident that Qin Yan didn't have too firm a grasp on the subject of the seventh round.

If she had had, she wouldn't have performed that well in the fifth and sixth rounds.

As Huang Mingshun was thinking it through, he heard Qin Yan ask him, "Student Huang, will you be giving it your all in the this round?"

Huang Mingshun heard this and felt a sudden pang in his chest.

Suddenly, he felt as if he couldn't think clearly.

Because in the previous two rounds, Qin Yan had also asked Zhang Xiaosheng and Zhao Xiaoou the same question.

And their results were evident. Everyone could see how they'd lost.

HMPH! Huang Mingshun coldly replied, "Qin Yan, winning and losing is dependent on one's abilities. Don't play coy with me."

Qin Yan didn't say anything.

She was being so wronged here.

Couldn't she just ask whether he was going to do his best?

How was this her being coy and playing dirty?

"Now, let us begin the seventh round of the competition. Please have a look at the screen," the host announced.

The familiar ten-second timer appeared on the screen once again.
