Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 944: Initiating an Overwhelming Mode
Qiao Yun glanced at her from the corner of her eye, her tone indifferent, "I hope you can succeed."
She truly wished for that.
Though she didn’t like Jiang Jing, if Jiang Jing could beat her, it would prove that Jiang Jing was putting effort into making progress, which was commendable.
Professor Qiao, who cherished talent, would still feel gratified.
However, Jiang Jing felt that Qiao Yun was provoking her, a surge of anger igniting in her heart. She took a deep breath, reminding herself not to get angry, Qiao Yun was deliberately agitating her.
She needed to stay calm, or else she would fall into Qiao Yun’s trap.
Jiang Jing calmed down and went on stage with a faint smile. As soon as she appeared on stage, her lovely face caught the attention of some of the audience.
Qiao Yun remained composed, her dark eyes carrying a hint of nonchalance, exuding one word from head to toe—confidence.
The first round was the buzzer round, consisting of a hundred questions that would appear on the big screen. Whoever answered correctly first would get a point.
If the person who buzzed in answered incorrectly, the second person to buzz would get the chance to respond, continuing until all hundred questions were answered. The person with the most points at the end would be the winner.
As the elder Li announced the official start of the first round, the audience quieted down, watching the stage intently with bated breath.
Compared to Qiao Yun’s calm, Jiang Jing’s eyes were fixed unwaveringly on the big screen, her mind filled with the thought that she had to win, she couldn’t lose to Qiao Yun, she must show everyone that she was no worse than her.
So when the first question appeared on the big screen, Jiang Jing pressed the buzzer to answer without even reading the question.
The speed of her action amazed everyone present.
Qiao Yun arched her eyebrow, looking towards Jiang Jing with a leisurely gaze, not flustered by Jiang Jing’s quick hand.
After Jiang Jing successfully buzzed in, she was momentarily confused.
Wait, what was the question again?
Since it was a competition, it naturally had to be thrilling, so each participant only had thirty seconds to answer.
Now having no time to panic, Jiang Jing quickly scanned the question. Fortunately, it was something she had just reviewed the day before. She breathed a sigh of relief and with a provoking look towards Qiao Yun, slowly gave her answer.
Sure enough, when the answer was revealed, Jiang Jing was correct and earned a point.
Jiang Jing exhaled and continued to focus on the next question.
Second question.
With the experience of the first question, Jiang Jing again was the first to buzz without even looking, luckily familiar with the question once more.
Jiang Jing easily secured the second point.
But honestly, she owed her thanks to Tianqi’s previous quiz game, which had solidified her knowledge, for both questions had appeared in the game.
When the third question came up, Jiang Jing was once again first to buzz in.
The audience was astounded.
"It’s her who buzzed in first again."
"She buzzes so quickly, isn’t she worried about not being able to answer?"
"You don’t get it, she must be confident to dare to buzz."
Su Qingqing looked at Qiao Yun with concern and said to Su Qingyan next to her, "Jiang Jing is too despicable, with her tactics, no one can compete with her."
Su Qingyan said rationally, "There’s nothing wrong with what she did, after all, she answered correctly."
"Brother, whose side are you on?" Su Qingqing glared at her older brother, dissatisfaction evident in her gaze.
Su Qingyan said speechlessly, "This is a competition, who cares about the method used, as long as you win in the end."
Oh, Su Qingqing wanted to swear so badly. Sure, that makes sense, but this kind of ’I don’t care if I know or not’ preemptive buzzing is just annoying.
In a short while, Jiang Jing had scored nine points.
Fu Yun’s mood improved greatly, his eyes gleefully focusing next to Qiao Yun’s name—zero points.
His lips curved slightly, it seemed his earlier intervention was unnecessary. Qiao Yun wasn’t that formidable after all.
...
"Han Zhou brother, Professor Qiao won’t lose, right?" Shen Qi was starting to doubt.
Li Hanzhou casually said, "It’s only the ninth question, what’s the rush?"
"Aren’t you worried at all?" Shen Qi admired Li Hanzhou’s strong mental composure.
Li Hanzhou indifferently replied, "Out of a hundred questions, it’s not about who buzzes in first, you still get no score if you can’t answer."
Seeing Li Hanzhou so confident, Shen Qi shifted his gaze back to the competition.
...
Jiang Jing lifted the corner of her mouth in a provocative smile at Qiao Yun and, opening her mouth, silently said, "You’re slated to lose."
Qiao Yun slightly furrowed her brow.
Jiang Jing thought Qiao Yun was getting anxious, her smile becoming even more charming.
However, Qiao Yun was just wondering if she should start acting like Jiang Jing; otherwise, she’d never get the chance to buzz in.
Hmm, feeling a bit upset now.
For the tenth question, Jiang Jing once again buzzed in without even looking at the question.
She confidently sped through the question, but her smile immediately froze on her face.
This was a question about Goldbach’s Conjecture, still an unsolved problem in the world to this day.
Her mind raced to find the answer but as seconds ticked by, her confident smile gradually vanished, replaced by panic.
She didn’t know the answer; she couldn’t respond.
Jiang Jing’s complexion grew increasingly pale.
Below, murmurs began to rise.
"Why hasn’t she answered? Does she not know it?"
"Tsk, why buzz in so quickly if you don’t know? I thought she was impressive, only good for nine questions, it seems."
"If you can’t do it, let someone else answer."
Jiang Jing’s lips were tightly sealed, feeling a lump in her throat that made it impossible to utter a word until the timer was about to run out. In her panic, Jiang Jing blurted out an answer.
The room went silent for a moment; everyone looked to the big screen.
The screen displayed an incorrect answer, minus one point.
Indeed, giving a wrong answer would result in a penalty.
Jiang Jing’s face turned completely white, the gazes from the surrounding people feeling piercing and uncomfortable as if thorns were at her back.
It’s okay, it’s just one mistake, there’s still a chance.
Next in the answering order, as per the rules, was Qiao Yun.
Without hesitation, Qiao Yun stated the answer.
Everyone tensed as they watched the big screen, until it finally showed the answer was correct.
Qiao Yun finally scored a point!
Jiang Jing’s face showed astonishment; Qiao Yun actually knew the answer. If Qiao Yun knew it, why did she just watch Jiang Jing rush to answer first? Was she trying to humiliate her?
Having made one mistake, Jiang Jing dared not to buzz in without reading the questions carefully anymore; she only had eight points now.
There are still ninety questions to go.
She cannot lose to Qiao Yun. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Fang Xing: "..." Wait a minute, does anyone still remember he’s here? Why isn’t anyone paying attention to him?
Fang Xing initially thought he was just picking on kids, but he dare not take it lightly now, especially with Qiao Yun.
Even he wasn’t certain of the correct answer to the previous question, yet Qiao Yun got it right. She definitely was not a simple opponent.
Fang Xing braced himself, preparing for what was to come.
Unfortunately for him, Qiao Yun fundamentally gave no one else a chance. As Jiang Jing became cautious and no longer blindly rushed to buzz in without thinking, Qiao Yun became the first to answer.
Pretending to be a pig to eat the tigers, purposely falling behind before prevailing by a clear margin – what is that?
Professor Qiao conveys that she only knows the mode of crushing dominance.
