At the thought of this, Shan Yue’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. She began to gradually increase her probing movements on the chair. In the end, she simply sat on the stool. At first, she did not feel anything different, but after she sat on the chair and spun twice, the two square meters of ground around the stool suddenly began to sink.
Shan Yue did not feel any uneasiness. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that her guess was right. This way, the first scene of the first test would be considered to have been successfully pa.s.sed, right?
At the same time.
The other three contestants who had partic.i.p.ated in the selection had just walked out of the gra.s.s tentatively. Other than Jia Yi, the other two were more or less scratched and damaged. It seemed that they had competed with the obstructing props in the gra.s.s.
After meeting, the three of them tacitly did not clash.
Ruo Ting and Yuan Hu had long known each other because of their family connections, and the two of them were much more familiar with the usually distant and mysterious Jia Yi because of Demon Month.
To them, the only unfamiliar person was the seemingly unknown Shan Yue. There was no need to fight among themselves at the beginning and let Shan Yue reap the benefits. The three of them communicated with their eyes and entered the a.s.sessment room in an orderly manner.
Ruo Ting deliberately took a look. There was no sign of Shan Yue around. She guessed that Shan Yue must not have even pa.s.sed the initial gra.s.s. She could not help but sneer. “To think that I treated you as an opponent, but I didn’t even pa.s.s the beginning.”
Shaking her head in disdain, Ruo Ting stopped thinking about why Shan Yue did not appear.
Obviously, the three of them did not grasp that the sound of the countdown was the key information, so the three of them did not see the woman’s projection. They only saw a lonely chair in the room.
After entering the room, they did not investigate the chair immediately. Instead, they began to observe the room wrapped in a black curtain, trying to find if there was a mechanism hidden under the black curtain.
Clearly, they did not take it to heart about the hints and changes in the a.s.sessment. Instead, they carried out the investigation that they thought was correct.
This was also a common problem for geniuses. They also did not take it to heart what the a.s.sistant had told them three days ago.
This was because in their opinion, they, who had successfully entered the final selection, already had the right and ability to speak to the professors on equal terms. As for partic.i.p.ating in the final selection, it was just a formality. Every one of them thought that they could win the final championship.
In fact, they had already fallen into the trap of the professors from the beginning. They had even maintained their original state until now and did not notice.
Half an hour later, Jia Yi, a contestant from an unknown faction, cracked the question and entered the next scene with a cold expression.
“Hey! Is anyone there? Is this prop broken? There’s nothing except a lousy chair!” Yuan Hu couldn’t stay any longer and shouted at the camera above the room.
However, no one responded to him.
Ruo Ting walked out of the room and frowned at him. “Is there a bug?” As she spoke, Ruo Ting paused and looked at the other two houses that were silent. Her face darkened. “Jia Yi has already pa.s.sed. The props are not broken, and there are no bugs. We didn’t answer correctly.”
“If you want us to answer, you have to at least tell us what the questions are! Are you asking us to guess riddles?” Yuan Hu went crazy and began to smash the chairs in the room.
Ruo Ting returned to the a.s.sessment room silently and continued to think.
The first act that the professors set could not last more than two hours. Due to the fact that Ruo Ting and Yuan Hu’s investigation direction was wrong from the beginning, when the two of them were investigating the room for the second hour, the professor group reprojected through a special device and issued an announcement to the two of them who were still exploring the room.
“Shan Yue and Jia Yi are already ahead of you and have entered the next test. The key to breaking the situation is the chairs. Please sit on the chairs as soon as possible and spin around to enter the next test.”
Only then did the two of them see the virtual woman’s projected face. However, the woman no longer had a warm smile on her face.
“What? I’ve never seen Shan Yue from the beginning. She’s actually already ahead of me?” Ruo Ting sat on the chair with an ugly expression and gritted her teeth.
It seemed that she had underestimated Shan Yue and the difficulty of this selection. Ruo Ting clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down and deal with the next test..
