Chapter 44 Team building camp 4
The points tasks in the tent follow the traditional style of "All Rounder" and include three categories: intelligence questions, sports questions and specialty questions. In order to increase the difficulty, a time limit was added.
For example, a question board was turned over, there was an irregular triangle at the top and five more irregular pictures in the middle. Question: These five irregular pictures are cut out of the top irregular triangle, but there is one piece missing. Which piece is it?
The answerer had to pick the answer from the 4 irregular shaped pictures in the bottom row. The time limit was 2 minutes. If answered correctly, 2 points will be given. If the answerer fail to answer within two minutes, the puzzle will crumble away and couldn’t be answered a second time.
Shu Hua took one look and said immediately, "I'd better do pull-ups."
There were two types of pull-ups challenge. 15 pull-ups in one minute and get 2 points. If 20 pull-ups, 4 points were given. But one must decide how many pull ups at the beginning. For example, if they challenge 4 points, even if they do 18 pull ups, they won’t earn 2 points.
Jian Cang read the rules and said, "This is the trap of the program team. Although it seems that if you do 5 more times and double the points, in physical fitness events, the average person is fine for the ninety percent of the progress. The last ten percent’s difficulty is harder than the first ninety percent. If you fail the challenge, not only will you lose a single point, but your physical strength will be exhausted. You will not even have the energy to challenge another round."
Shu Hua thought about it and felt it made sense. So she challenged 15 first.
Jian Cang went to challenge the whack-a-mole game.
Qin Shiyu, like Jiang Yu, stood in front of the question board and answered the questions.
The four people here were racing against time to earn points. Outside, Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen, and Zhou Feifei were standing at the dock, looking at the card, and observing the ship hard, trying to find some clues.
Zhou Feifei didn't believe that Jiang Yu could be so smart from the bottom of her heart and asked again, "How can they solve it so quickly? In those five seconds, you cann't even understand the question, right?"
She really wanted to mention the possibility of cheating, but after the first and second episodes, no one dared to say that Jiang Yu was cheating.
Ye Yuanyu stared at the seats in the cabin and it dawned on him, "Indeed, no matter how abnormal they are, it’s already considered great if one can read the question clearly in five seconds."
Zhou Feifei's eyes lit up, "So she..."
"She didn't solve the mystery at all."
Zhou Feifei was confused, "Huh?"
Xiang Chen didn't understand either, "She doesn't know the answer?"
Ye Yuanyu asked, "Aren’t we leaving on the same boat?"
"Of course we are," Xiang Chen replied, "There are fifteen seats, and there are only seven boats in total. Can’t possibly be one person take one..." At this point, he understood. He exchanged glances with Ye Yuanyu, turned around and headed toward the point tent. Angry and amused, he remarked, "Really! I was fooled again."
Ye Yuanyu followed. Zhou Feifei finally caught on at this moment, "So they are waiting for us to finish solving the problem and then they directly copy our pick?"
"Isn't Jiang Yu too cunning?"
Ye Yuanyu glanced at her, "And Qin Shiyu."
Xiang Chen smiled and said, "En, they often share the same brain. Both are cunning."
Zhou Feifei said nothing more and followed them back to the points tent.
Lifting the curtain, they saw Jian Cang doing pull-ups, Shu Hua doing push-ups, and Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu each staring at a problem board and focused on solving problems.
Xiang Chen smiled and said, "How is the point earning going? Is it easy?"
【Haha, this sarcasm. What a rare sight of our Lawyer Xiang getting angry. 】
【They catch on so quickly. I thought they would figure it out toward the end. 】
【Don’t underestimate them just because they were deceived by Jiang Yu. They are all very capable. 】
【Now, there is a good show to watch! 】
Jian Cang looked at them in shock, "Have you finished solving it now?! So amazing!"
Ye Yuanyu said, "I'm not as amazing as you guys, solving the problem without even reading it."
Jian Cang smiled awkwardly, trying to deceive them, "The main reason is that Elder Sister Yu is amazing. We are basking in her light."
Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen looked at Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu didn't panic at all and appeared confident. It was as if she had indeed solved the problem.
Some viewers looked a little confused when they saw her expression:
【Has she really solved it? 】
【I think it seems like she did. Is she just teasing them? 】
The regular spectator laughed and said:
【No, she is definitely pretending. Don't be deceived by her goody, cute appearance. 】
Ye Yuanyu was obviously not deceived by her and said, "Since you have solved it, we don't have to solve it. Anyway, everyone is getting on the same boat. We can just follow you."
Jian Cang froze, and Shu Hua, who was doing push-ups, suddenly fell to the ground and punched the ground angrily, "There are only 5 left! Ah..."
Ye Yuanyu looked at her and smiled. Then he went straight to work on the question board to earn points. Xiang Chen and Zhou Feifei followed suit.
Jian Cang and Shu Hua looked at Jiang Yu in unison.
Jiang Yu sighed and said, "That’s why, this is actually a group task."
Ye Yuanyu said, "En, we find the ship. It's your group's mission to earn points."
【Hahaha, my God Ye, has so much resentment.】
【Jiang Yu, you hurt your teammates. 】
Jiang Yu coughed lightly, "How about this? One person solves the problem and everyone else earns points. Afterward, give some points to the person who solved the problem?"
Her suggestion was quite reasonable. The group stopped moving in unison and Xiang Chen said, "How many points to give?"
Jiang Yu said, "I just solved some questions. Each question takes about one or two minutes on average and can earn 2 points. Two points per person? It's equivalent to each person giving one or two minutes to the solver."
"Adding it up, it’s ten minutes..." Ye Yuanyu thought for a while, "If the problem is solved within ten minutes, the other party makes a profit. If it exceeds the time limit, there will be no loss with everyone's compensation."
Everyone felt this proposal was suitable. After all, even when Ye Yuanyu and the others came back, the most critical problem hadn’t been solved. No one could feel at ease. It was better to work together to solve the puzzle without delaying earning points.
Next, to discuss who will solve the problem.
Jiang Yu raised her hand, "Shall I go?"
Looking at everyone's gaze, she whispered, "Just now, I’m the one who wronged everyone and feel a little guilty."
After everyone thought about it, it was indeed best for her to go.
Then everyone gave her 2 points. In the past seven or eight minutes, Shu Hua and the others basically earned points. Ye Yuanyu didn't have enough, so he borrowed points from others. He could just pay them back after a while.
Jiang Yu stuffed the points they gave her into the small satchel given by the program team, asked them for clue cards, and left the tent to go to the dock to solve the problem.
Ye Yuanyu glanced at her brisk steps and hesitated, "Why do I feel like I've been deceived by her again?"
Shu Hua defended Jiang Yu, "How are you getting deceived? Isn't it her own ability to solve the problem quickly? We can save at least ten minutes to earn points. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
This was indeed true. Ye Yuanyu couldn't figure out the reason, so he stopped thinking about it and hurriedly did the questions to earn points. They had just wasted seven or eight minutes and were far behind.
Zhou Feifei was anxious. Although she had to restrain herself in this episode of the show, she had nothing outstanding so far. And Qin Shiyu didn't notice her at all.
After failing another question board challenge, she wanted to pick a question she was good at. After observing the surroundings, something dawned on her, "Actually, we can only earn about 20 points here at most, right?"
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at her. Seamlessly, Zhou Feifei glanced at Qin Shiyu, however Qin Shiyu had already put down the question board to do pull-ups and didn't look at her at all.
She suppressed the disappointment in her heart and continued to explain to the others, "There are a total of 8 question boards here, each worth 2 points, which is 16 points. As for physical fitness, no matter how good your physical strength is, you can't do 15 pull ups and continue to do 40 push-ups in a row. The reaction game of whack-a-mole can only be played once. Including the two sharp turn questions for bonus points, everyone's best score is probably about 20 points."
Zhou Feifei asked Jian Cang and Shu Hua, "How many points did Jiang Yu just earn?"
The two shook their heads and looked at Qin Shiyu in unison. They were both doing physical fitness events just now. Only Qin Shiyu and Jiang Yu were working on the question board together.
While Qin Shiyu was doing pull-ups, he took the time to reply, "6 points."
Zhou Feifei looked at him with admiration, "God Yu, you are so amazing!"
Qin Shiyu said nothing, lowered his eyes, and continued to do pull-ups. Zhou Feifei naturally returned to the topic, "So, she already got 6 points. Each of us gave her 2 points. She now has 12 + 6 points, which was 18 points. And assuming we both earn 20 points minus the 2 points given to her, it’s 18 points.”
"She has equaled our final score from the beginning. If she solves the problem quickly and comes back to solve the other problems, her score may reach more than thirty, surpassing all of us."
It dawned on everyone.
"Sure enough," Ye Yuanyu said, "I just said that I had a niggling feeling that something was wrong. I felt that the points here are not enough for her to earn."
Zhou Feifei said jokingly, "She is so good at tricking."
Xiang Chen seemed not to hear what she meant and smiled helplessly, "En, you will get used to it in the future."
【Hahaha, this isn't a matter of getting used to it, isn't it? You are still being deceived! 】
【Can't be helped! Elder Sister Yu has too many tricks. Her well-behaved look always makes people want to believe her. 】
Zhou Feifei obviously didn't want to get used to it. Seeing the helplessness and anger on everyone's faces, she suggested, "How about we change someone else?"
Unexpectedly, everyone shook their heads collectively. Xiang Chen smiled and said, "Let's forget it. Who will go instead?"
"The three of us have just tried it, but we don't have any clues." He glanced at Jian Cang and Shu Hua, "Which one of you will be relieved if they go? Better not let them take us into the ditch when the time comes."
Not only Ye Yuanyu, even Jian Cang and Shu Hua themselves laughed. They expressed that they were not up to the task.
On the surface, Zhou Feifei smiled and turned to look at Qin Shiyu, "What about you, God Yu?"
She spoke, "What’s more, it's safer if you go, God Yu. What if Jiang Yu interprets it wrong?"
Though Qin Shiyu said nothing, others spoke one after another as soon as these words came out,
Shu Hua, Jiang Yu's number one fan, stated, "It's impossible. My Bigshot can't make a mistake."
Xiang Chen said, "That's true. If she is wrong, there is a high probability that we can’t even solve it correctly."
Zhou Feifei frowned secretly. She didn't expect this group of people to trust Jiang Yu so much. She looked at Qin Shiyu. This was an opportunity to earn more points. Qin Shiyu wasn't tempted?
Qin Shiyu jumped down from the horizontal bar, "No need, she should probably be able to solve it by now."
Everyone:! ! !
Zhou Feifei looked at everyone who was suddenly filled with a sense of urgency and had doubts on their faces. Jian Cang kindly reminded, "Let's do it quickly, otherwise our mentality will easily collapse when she comes back."
Zhou Feifei was confused, "Can she really solve it?"
【Hahaha, Zhou Feifei doesn’t know anything about Jiang Yu’s abilities. 】
【It’s so funny. They know it’s a conspiracy and there’s nothing they can do about it. Elder Sister Yu has this strength. 】
【Damn it! God Yu really understands Jiang Yu. She has really figured it out. 】
【? ? ? How come I just see her look at the clue card a few times and solve if after walking around the pier? 】
【I suspect she is deceiving everyone’s points. 】
【I think the "suspect" can be removed. 】
Just when Zhou Feifei doubtfully took down a question board, Jiang Yu lifted the curtain and came in.
Everyone was collectively shocked. Although they had expected it, they couldn't help but be curious. Ye Yuanyu spoke first, "Solved like that? Which boat?"
Jian Cang asked, "What do those clue cards mean?"
Jiang Yu glanced at them, "Answer plus analysis, each person gives 1 point."
Everyone:...
Xiang Chen couldn't help but comment, "Are you ##Zhou Bapi/##[a "bully landlord" created by the famous writer Gao Yubao (from "The Rooster Crows at Midnight")]?"
Seeing the speechless expressions on everyone’s face, the audience were rolling from laughter:
【My Elder Sister Yu, it’s so scary when earning points. 】
【She really got the top students under control. 】
【Hahaha, one of the weaknesses of top students: When they can’t solve the puzzles, they can’t feel at ease. 】
【Would you like to make a bet to see if they can endure it until getting on the boat? 】
【I think I should bet on who will be the first to spend points to buy the answer. I bet on God Ye. 】
Have to say that the audience knew the top students very well.
Watching Jiang Yu start to do the questions, the others’ hearts were itching. When no one knew the answer, they could tell themselves that no one knew the answer and just wait. But now it was clear that someone knew the answer but didn’t tell them. For top students with a strong thirst for knowledge, it was simply a torment.
Jian Cang came over and whispered, "Elder Sister Yu, do we need to give points to those who form an alliance?"
Jiang Yu pretended not to hear what he said.
【Hahaha, Jian Darling, what are you thinking about? Elder Sister Yu has no favorite when it comes to points. 】
【Yes, the main focus is fairness and justice. 】
In the end, Ye Yuanyu couldn't help but speak first, "I'll buy it!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to speak, he called Jiang Yu and walked outside.
Jiang Yu blinked and followed. The others became even more curious. They leaned on the tent door and watched them whisper.
Jian Cang looked at the points in his hand, "How about I buy one too? It's too uncomfortable."
Xiang Chen was hesitant, "Anyway, it’s just 1 point?"
Zhou Feifei asked, "How many points do you have now?"
Jian Cang said, "After canceling out the minus 4 points I had before, I have 3 points."
After saying that, he was depressed. Jiang Yu already had more than ten points and he only had a pitiful 3 points. The key was that he couldn't help but want to contribute one more.
Xiang Chen didn't need to cancel any minus. However, he was delayed seven or eight minutes earlier and didn't make much money later when Jiang Yu came back...
【Hahaha, see the pain of having no money on their faces. 】
【I don’t want to give points, but it’s uncomfortable not knowing the answer! 】
After a while, Ye Yuanyu came back. Jian Cang, who had just made up his mind, was about to open his mouth and heard Ye Yuanyu say, "Come, answer plus analysis, 0.5 points!"
Jiang Yu behind him:...
Everyone:...
Jian Cang instantly wailed, "Ah, why didn't I think of it! Elder Brother Ye, not only did you not lose anything with this move, you can earn 1 point."
Although it costs one point, if at least 4 people buy the answer, he would indeed earn one point.
Audiences:
【Hahaha, our God Ye is indeed a financial tycoon. The reseller are really slippery. 】
The price was discounted and the group immediately stopped hesitating and followed Ye Yuanyu out to listen to the answers. Jiang Yu continued to work on the questions calmly.
It was rare for the audience to see her deflated. Still, they were very happy.
Until Qin Shiyu walked up to Jiang Yu and said, "You knew the answer from the beginning, right?"
Of course Jiang Yu refused to admit it, "How can that be?"
Qin Shiyu looked down at her from his high height, "You done something similar to that letter equation question, A=Q,, B=W, C=E, D=R, ABCD represents 1234, QWER represents the corresponding position of the keyboard before 24=B 11=A, 5=T, 5=T, 19=L, 3=E, battle.”
"With this answer, we can deduce the puzzles of the other two clue cards."
Only then, Jiang Yu remembered that after the first episode of the program was recorded, the program team asked Qin Shiyu to test her with this question in order to confirm that she had not cheated.
Seeing that she could no longer hide it and thinking about the points she had obtained, she couldn't help but reveal a row of white teeth.
【Ahhhhh! This cunning smile! She really tricked Ye Yuanyu and the others again. 】
【What does this mean? God Yu said she knew the answer from the beginning? 】
【Yes, the clue she got was a question she had been exposed to before. So she knew the answer when she saw the clue card. However, she pretended not to know. Instead, she proposed cooperation to defraud others of their points. 】
【Hahahaha, she’s so bad. But I like it! 】
Qin Shiyu looked at her sly expression and said, "They already felt that they were deceived just now and even wanted to change people halfway. I helped you muddle through it. Shouldn't you express your gratitude?"
Jiang Yu cautiously held the small bag and moved away from Qin Shiyu.
Qin Shiyu said with a smile, "There will definitely be levels like this where individual battle requires cooperation. If they know the truth, do you think you can easily make arrangements in the future?"
Jiang Yu nodded firmly.
【Hahahaha, our Elder Sister Yu won't be threatened! 】
【We thought that God Yu was spuddling around. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to be the oriole that targets the mantis! 】
Qin Shiyu grinned again, "Say, if I had proposed to solve the puzzle at the same time as you, who would they choose?"
Jiang Yu:……
Qin Shiyu will be chosen. Although Jiang Yu has a certain prestige, she wasn't as good as Qin Shiyu. Everyone was just used to him spuddling. But if they had to say that the person they trust the most, it was him.
"Six points, solve the competitor and gain an ally. I think it's very appropriate."
Puzzled, Jiang Yu looked at him, "You're not short of 6 points?"
Compared with her who could only do mental questions, he could finish the physical problem smoothly.
Qin Shiyu smiled, "The main reason is that I want to be your ally."
Jiang Yu:……
"By blackmail?"
【Hahahahaha, the way God Yu formed an alliance is really special. 】
【Give me points and I'll cover you. It seems like there's nothing wrong with it. 】
Jiang Yu was weighing it.
Outside, Ye Yuanyu was happily earning that 1 point:
"In this color square, don't look at the color, but draw the blank spaces. The numbers traced in the blue spaces are 5, 6, 7, 2, which add up to 20; the numbers traced in purple are 2, 4, 6, 0, the sum equals 12, and so on, red = 2, yellow = 1, black = 5. They correspond to English letters, which is battle."
"...As for the smiley face clue, have you noticed that their eyes are all slanted? If we follow the direction of the smiling faces of the same color, we can get the four pinyin letters Z, H, A, and N. Aka, battle."
"So, we got to get on the battle ship."
Everyone was stunned, high-fived happily, and then paid their points.
【People inside are doing huge transactions of 6 points, while Ye Yuanyu, you are so happy from earning 1 point? 】
【Why do I feel pity for them? 】
【Mom, I’m really promising. I actually sympathize with the top students, hahahaha. 】
【So, will Jiang Yu cooperate with Qin Shiyu? Will they be more pitiable? 】
