TISHW 6




 Chapter 6 Recruitment Season

When Jiang Yu and Shu Hua left, the interview assistant NPC at the door gave them a B5-sized clue card, indicating that this level was based on teamwork.

There was a security guard NPC next to the escalator. He pointed to the card swiping machine at the escalator and explained to them: "This is a sensor. Just swipe your number plate on it and the timer will start. When you arrive, swipe it on the same sensor above and the timer ends. You pass if it’s within 40 seconds. You can get points and clues for clearing the level.”

"So someone can run for you." Shu Hua rolled up her sleeves and swung her ankles to start warming up before running, "Bigshot, it's my turn to carry you this time!"

Jiang Yu looked at her posture and asked doubtfully, "You run fast?" 

She remembered that the heroine in the book was very strong, but her running ability didn't seem to be particularly outstanding.

Shu Hua said, "Still ok. I work out occasionally."

Jiang Yu:……

​What makes you feel that the physical fitness of occasionally exercising can challenge something that only sports students can do.

The next second Shu Hua told her the answer, "I am the Emperor Luck!"

"Perhaps the program team is hiding some mechanism switch, such as halfway through, the escalator suddenly starts going up..."

Jiang Yu:……

What the program team hid wasn’t a mechanism switch, but a life-and-death switch.

Seeing Jiang Yu's expression, Shu Hua felt guilty for a moment. She kept explaining, "I think it's very possible, otherwise how can they let other people with poor physical fitness pass? They can't stop all the top students here, right? You must know that the physical fitness of most top students is average."

"So I think this level tests physical strength on the surface, but it may actually test courage and resourcefulness. We can't just not do it because we think we can't do it at first. We have to try."

What she said actually makes sense.

"Even if it doesn't go up, I can still use throwing. With my luck, maybe the number plate can pass by the sensor. Anyway, the rules don't say that I have to hold the card in my hand."

Jiang Yu looked at the timer that stood upright and needed to be swiped sideways. She suspected that the program team might have thought of having such a weird heroine.

Shu Hua stretched out her hand, "Here, give me the number plate. This time, I'll run up with yours first. If I can't go up, at least I'll send you away first."

Jiang Yu:……

She lowered her head to study the clue card with an expressionless face, "No, I'll send you over."

Shu Hua:? ? ?

【Hahahaha...why didn't I realize that Miss No. 99 is so interesting just now? 】

【ROFL, this idea is amazing, I actually think it makes sense and is feasible. 】

【The idea of ​​throwing the number plates and swiping cards is very consistent with our "All Rounder"’s cool nature. If there is no opportunity, then to create loopholes to jump in. 】

【Miss No. 100 is really too steady. At least give it a try. Mainly because my friend wants to see it. 】

【My friend also wants to see it. Want to see Miss No. 99 throwing the number plate, hahaha...]

【But what does No. 100 mean? Can she run up there? 】

【Probably not, her expression of despair just now was so real. 】

Amid everyone's speculation, Jiang Yu was seen staring at the clue card motionless, seeming to be contemplating about something. Soon she raised her head, looked around, and walked away.

"Hey, Bigshot, where are you going?" Shu Hua quickly followed.

【? ? ? ? Have an idea? 】

【Bigshot, please share what you found. I’m getting so anxious. 】

【Isn’t No. 99 very good at talking? Ask quickly. 】

Shu Hua thought that she had become familiar with Jiang Yu after going through the previous level. She was no longer cautious and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there any other shortcut?"

Jiang Yu handed the card to her, "The same hidden clues as in the first level. It can't be said to be a shortcut. It can only be said to be different paths leading to the same destination."

At this time, the live broadcast room displayed the new clues discovered by Jiang Yu. It was indeed the same as the first level. In addition to the address of the escalator to the next level written in yellow on a black background, there was another clue hidden on the clue card. The clue was a dazzling circuit diagram, painted on the back like a dark watermark. If one didn't look carefully, one might think it was the shading of the paper.

There was a very small line of red notes at the bottom: Knowledge can make up for some shortcomings. Friends with poor physical strength can try other methods.

【God, this thing gives me a headache just looking at it. I would rather run up the stairs. 】

【What can you tell from just a circuit diagram? From where and how? 】

【Although it is a circuit diagram, maybe it gives graphic information? Is this switch on or off? Or maybe it's an arrow? 】

【She left so firmly, don't tell me she has already solved it. 】

Just when Jiang Yu took Shu Hua around the corner and disappeared from everyone's sight, Jian Cang appeared in front of the escalator. After listening to the rules announcement, he looked at the empty escalator and exclaimed, "No way! She already ran up?" 

After saying that, he swiped his number plate and ran up without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, his team members immediately followed him. Two of them were still confused. They didn’t know why they were ranked among the best and were still under so much pressure...

Xiang Chen, who was coming from behind, looked at the row of "hamsters running in circles" and his face froze slightly. Ye Yuanyu, who was following him not far behind, couldn't help but pause for a moment.

The audience in the live broadcast room was overjoyed: 【Hahaha, the anticipated part is finally here. 】

【Alas, nothing makes me happier than seeing great god’s joke. 】

【Jian Darling is too naive. He actually believes that No. 100 has run up. Now I can justifiably doubt his IQ. 】

【Mainly because that person seems to have a "I can do anything" temperament, I always subconsciously feel that she can do it. 】

【Like God Yu? 】

【Carry away God Yu. Don’t randomly touch the porcelain. Still don’t know if she cheated by getting the questions in advance. We are not making trouble now out of respect for the program. It’s not that we believe her. 】

【Stop arguing now. Can’t you let people watch the show properly? What a messy atmosphere. If she cheated, the show team should give everyone an explanation. Didn't someone say it before? IQ can't be faked if you want to. When it is revealed, she will be the unlucky one. 】

【In short, before you have evidence, please don’t attack people casually and let people watch the show. Ah, Lawyer Xiang and the others are going to run too. 】

The audience then turned their attention to the people in front of them.

Xiang Chen looked at the people gliding down the escalator and asked the security guard nearby, "This escalator can only take on 3 to 5 people at a time. Even if each person takes less than a minute. Once there are more people. We’ll have to wait a long time?”

Ye Yuanyu came over. If this is the case, there may be other clues in this level.

As a result, the security guard leaned over and pressed a button. The stationary escalator nearby moved.

Xiang Chen:......

The security guard informed with a smile, "There are a total of 75 steps in the visible part of this escalator. Keep a safe distance of 15 steps from the person in front. Whether you speed up or the person in front slows down, it will not have much impact. Remember to run on the right. If you feel exhausted or want to give up, just take a step to the left and go down the elevator."

"Two escalators can carry 10 people at the same time, so they won't have to wait for long."

Ye Yuanyu listened to his explanation and couldn't help but look up. He saw Jian Cang coming down the escalator and lying on the handrail, panting.

Jian Cang seemed to know what he was thinking, and said breathlessly, "Don't look. She wasn't there when I came here. She may have passed the level."

The team member who also came down said, "This is unlikely. We can't run up there. Could it be that she can fly?"

Jian Cang said, "It can’t be that the wrong place was found? Could it be that the clue given to the girl was the elevator?"

The audience was amused by his words and started laughing again: "It's really an elevator. It's in the clue card given to you. Quickly take a proper look!" 】

【Jian Darling’s mouth is simply jinxed. 】

It turned out that when someone opened a new level, the program team would add more screens in the live broadcast room. For example, now, the live broadcast room has four screens; one large and three small. The main screen was the screen of Ye Yuanyu and the others. There was also the first level lobby, the second stage of the written examination conference room, and Jiang Yu and Shu Hua's action route. The audience can see the situation on the few screens at the same time and then choose which live broadcast screen to zoom in or out according to their interests.

Just when Jian Cang asked, Jiang Yu and Shu Hua happened to walk to an elevator. The obvious logo of the program team proved that they were in the right place.

The audience, who were briefly attracted by Jian Cang’s excitement, became curious again:

【Holy crap, how did they find it? How can a circuit diagram refer to an elevator? Both have the character "electricity"? 】

【I still think it’s the switch in the circuit diagram. That switch should be the action route arrow. It depends on whether you choose the red line or the blue line. 】

【I don’t think so. Such a complex circuit may well have hidden graphic or textual clues. 】

The audience was having a lively discussion. Shu Hua didn’t have such worries. She asked directly, "Bigshot, why does this refer to the elevator?"

Jiang Yu said, "To go upstairs and use electricity, except for the elevator, there’s nothing else."

【……】

【? ? ? 】

【Bigshot makes it sounds so simply and makes me look like a fool. 】

  【So simple? 】

【In the bigshot’s mind, it’s just that simple... Holy crap, what is this? 】

【Very good, the difficult part is here. This is a question for the bigshots. 】

【This is too cruel. Still need to know how to repair the elevator! 】

There was a safety fence placed at the entrance of the elevator that was found. It said "Elevator Failure". Of course, this was within everyone's expectation. If one could find the elevator and go directly upstairs, it would not be in line with the style of "All Rounder".

However, after Jiang Yu opened the "circuit box" next to it according to the fault instructions, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. They saw that in the A3-sized box, red, blue and yellow wires were intertwined and dense. Various resistors and switches were scattered. The main point was that many copper wire ends were raised.

The small speaker next to it announced the rules: "There is a fault in the elevator line. After repairing, you can go directly to the fourth floor. Warm reminder, in order to ensure safety, maintenance personnel must be professional. After circuit repair, there are two opportunities for trial and error. If it exceeds two times, there will be no chance of trial and error." 

If it succeeds, please change with a more professional maintenance person.”

The audience started to "translate" the rules:

【En, I understand. It means that there are only two chances. If you can't fix it well, you won't be allowed to fix it. 】

【In other words, don't blindly guess. 】

【This is too complicated. It makes my eyes blur. 】

【This is not maintenance at all. This is reorganization. The threads are in a mess and many of them are not connected. 】

【I bet she has to go back. I’m looking forward to Jian Darling’s expression when he sees her...]

【Hahaha, I can already imagine it. 】

【Holy crap, she’s fixing it! 】

On the screen, Jiang Yu skillfully took out the electroprobe from the tool box...

Shu Hua compared the circuit diagram on the clue card with a serious face, "Bigshot, can you repair it?"

The boss said calmly, "Got to give it a try."

Shu Hua:......

【Hahaha, No. 100 has a bit of a dry sense of humor. 】

【So is she making fun of No. 99, or does she really know how to repair? 】

【Don’t waste time. Go back quickly. Based on the past nature of "All Rounder", taking this shortcut will be more detrimental than good. Don’t end up fail to on this end and delay the other end. 】

【Indeed. So far, only God Yu and Yiyi have succeeded. The final results of the other attempts were very embarrassing. 】

【For example, the time when Student Jiang’s CPU burned out and then went to soak in water? 】

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... the scene appears again. 】

In the observation room upstairs, Jiang Mingquan, who was being ridiculed by the audience, looked at the "Hahaha" on the screen and said depressedly, "Just talk about things, why cue me?"

Everyone else in the observation room and the old fans of "All Rounder" squatting in the live broadcast room all laughed.

In the last season, there was a stage where one had to rely on arm strength to get through the rope without falling into the water to be considered a winner.

The weak Jiang Mingquan felt that he couldn't do it, so he wanted to take shortcuts by solving problems. As a result, he was solving the problem until the CPU burned out and ended up clueless and instead, lost his lead. What's even more funny was that he later developed the outrageous idea that relying on his own arm strength to cross the river wasn’t difficult. So when his competitors were almost finished crossing the river, he returned to the starting point... and then started to fall into the water again and again. In the end, Qin Shiyu couldn't stand it anymore and he got wrapped up like a mummy and dragged over like luggage by hanging on a rope with a pulley.

In addition to making everyone realize Qin Shiyu's boyfriend power, that incident made Jiang Mingquan's life-is-devoid-of-meaning expression a comedy classic. Everyone will think about his fate when they find a shortcut.

Jiang Mingquan said in a pretentious manner, "The program team is really a dog. They make things so difficult for newcomers right from the start."

【Withdraw the expectation in your eyes before you say this. 】

【Ain’t that right! You obviously want to see others suffer misfortune, so that someone can replace your emoji. What are you pretending for? 】

Jiang Mingquan pretended not to see the barrage and asked the staff, "Are there any more of this question? Let's try it too."

The staff was obviously well prepared and handed over clue cards and circuit line props, which looked exactly like Jiang Yu’s one. After all, top students shared the common interest of liking to solve difficult problems.

Jiang Mingquan glanced at the clue card and couldn't help but complain to Qin Shiyu, "This question produced by you is quite crazy? I thought it was overboard just looking at the screen. The clue card is only so big." He looked down at the circuit board. It was even more densely packed. He looked at it for five seconds and then gave up. "My eyes are so dizzy. Come, repair it for me as proof."

Qin Shiyu directly took the circuit board. Jiang Mingquan was surprised, "No way. Even if you made the question, you still remember the circuit diagram?"

Qin Shiyu lazily replied, "That is a distraction."

"This is a distraction."

Everyone in the observation room was stunned and looked at the screen in front of them. Just now, the female voice uttered the same thing and overlapped with Qin Shiyu's voice.

It turned out that when Jiang Mingquan asked Qin Shiyu in shock, No. 99 asked the same question to No. 100. No. 100's answer was exactly the same as Qin Shiyu's.

  【Holy crap! Although the top students of "All Rounder" occasionally share their brains, is this the first time with God Yu? 】

【What is the origin of number 100? 】

【Surnamed J Ocean Queen from the Acting Department of the Acting Academy in City B? 】

【……】

【Forget it. Let’s continue watching. 】
