Chapter 280: Chapter 259: Impossible to Lose

Ji Xizhi’s voice was sincere.

She said not being able to compete was indeed due to considering her major, she was already quite familiar with the questions held by the university students in charge, and it would be better to let her create the questions rather than participate.

However, these college students were far more prepared for the legal awareness event than the team of Director Wang’s program. After several rounds of games, their question bank was still thick, not needing Ji Xizhi’s assistance at all.

Ji Xizhi politely declined Granny Zheng’s invitation.

But Granny Zheng interpreted Ji Xizhi’s words as meaning she was a young girl and couldn’t participate in the middle-aged group’s game competition.

She persisted in persuading, “What’s unfair about it? Their group has young people too!”

After speaking, she pulled over the female college student who was the host.

The female college student was pulled over and, upon hearing Granny Zheng wanted to change participants, had no objections to agree.

Currently, in the last round of the game, there were three groups participating. Granny Ping and Granny Sun’s teams both had young people; it was already quite challenging for Granny Zheng’s team to compete thus far, so it’s fair to allow them to substitute a young person now.

The female college student agreed on the spot.

Only Granny Sun remained dissatisfied nearby, saying, “How is it reasonable to switch participants now? Know you can’t beat my grandson, so you’re changing participants, right?”

“You organizers are just so unscrupulous! Don’t want to give us that five hundred bucks!”

The female college student grew increasingly irritated; she just wanted the event to proceed.

But Granny Sun’s repetitive complaints delayed the final round of the game.

Eventually, it was Granny Sun’s grandson who grew impatient, he was tired of the prolonged fuss and simply stood up to say, “This matter was initially not justified by your team. How about this, you can substitute a participant, but in return, you should give up some answering time in the last round.”

The final round of the game had straightforward rules: the team answering more questions correctly within the specified time wins.

Each team had five minutes to answer questions.

Granny Sun’s grandson finished speaking and quickly glanced at Ji Xizhi who was wrapped tightly, unable to guess her age but inferred from her voice she probably wasn’t very young.

“Have you attended college?”

Ji Xizhi not only couldn’t refuse Granny Zheng’s enthusiastic invitation, but her snake-skin bag and red armband were taken by the people Granny Zheng found.

Granny Zheng had only one thing to say, as long as Ji Xizhi joined her group, any trash-picking work Ji Xizhi had would be immediately assigned to someone else.

Ji Xizhi’s live stream fans had lost count of how many villagers were eager to help her out.

[Look at the cloud, does it resemble the two hundred bucks Director Wang used to bribe the villagers? Haha~ Money down the drain, someone’s still helping Ji Xizhi with the trash-picking!]

[This time it’s truly fate, look how bundled up Zhi Zhi is!]

With her tasks being snatched away, Ji Xizhi was left with no choice but to respond to Granny Sun’s grandson.

“I attended college.”

Ji Xizhi just finished speaking.

Granny Sun’s grandson quickly chimed in, “Alright, if you want to join this group, you’ll have to halve your answering time. I heard each group gets five minutes; you folks will get two and a half then! Isn’t that fair?”

Granny Zheng, standing beside, almost clapped him on the head upon hearing this.

[Ah this, reaching the point where you can call for help, how can one have the nerve to say something like that!]

[So irritating! How can he be so two-faced; other teams already had young folks assisting from the start, Granny waited until the end to change participants, obviously putting her at a disadvantage! Logically, they should be given an additional two and a half minutes instead!]

[Forget it, sisters, don’t get angry, Zhi Zhi just spoke about fairness, now isn’t two and a half more fair?!]

[Seems sensible? Here’s a question, in two and a half minutes, will the host’s question cards be sufficient? Should Zhi Zhi help out with some questions?]

[The forgotten show team: Are you subconsciously criticizing me?]

Granny Sun’s grandson said such words and received contemptuous glances from other eliminated team members watching the fun.

The female college student host nearly spewed out a curse, holding back only because the microphone was still in her hand.

At the scene, only Ji Xizhi remained calm, she nodded, “That’s okay.”

Granny Zheng was fuming, wanting to point at Granny Sun’s grandson’s nose to scold him, but Ji Xizhi’s sudden agreement drew her attention away.

Granny Zheng looked at Ji Xizhi, “So, young lady, are you agreeing to participate?”

Ji Xizhi nodded.

Granny Zheng was delighted, turning to negotiate rules with the female college student host.

She was stopped by Ji Xizhi pulling her sleeve.

Ji Xizhi, “Granny, it indeed should be fairer, two and a half is enough for me.”

Though still a bit angry, Granny Zheng’s mood instantly lifted upon hearing Ji Xizhi’s words.

Ever since she noticed Ji Xizhi dressed like her, she had a strange affection for Ji Xizhi, and hearing those words now reminded her of her younger self.

No matter if faced with uncertain or seemingly impossible tasks, she was fearless and determined to forge ahead!

Granny Zheng refrained from disrupting the game’s commencement.

In the last round, the difficulty of the host’s questions increased, some were quite deceptive.

Granny Sun, with her grandson, answered first, getting eleven questions correct within five minutes.

Next was Granny Ping and her granddaughter, who answered seven correctly.

Finally, it was Granny Zheng’s turn. Google seaʀᴄh novel✶fire.net

Granny Zheng’s other team members were of similar age; only Granny Zheng seemed to have a better memory.

Ji Xizhi stood at the edge, ready to start answering as time was counted.

Two and a half minutes was indeed tight, especially with questions broadcasted by the host, consisting of the query and four options: A, B, C, D, before answering.

As time began, Granny Zheng effortlessly answered the first question, but struggled with the second one for about twenty seconds without deciding on an answer.

Granny Sun’s grandson smirked, turning his head.

Granny Sun even started moving toward the supermarket card, ready to claim it.

In the game segment, Granny Zheng anxiously tugged at her sleeve, still undecided among four options when Ji Xizhi calmly answered from beside.

“Choose C.”

With less than two minutes remaining, Ji Xizhi began answering the first question.

The host didn’t really focus on Ji Xizhi’s answers, just cut quickly to the next question upon hearing correct answers.

The next question was quickly read out, and upon reaching option B, Ji Xizhi answered:

“Choose B.”

Transitioning to the next question in ten seconds, the host was a bit stunned but swiftly proceeded to the next one.

This time, only the question stem was read.

Ji Xizhi directly recited the option answer.

In merely five seconds.

And the pace kept accelerating.

The onlookers were already bewildered.

Granny Zheng standing next to Ji Xizhi had her mouth agape.

This young girl seemed different from her young self after all; she had no guarantee to push forward, but this girl appeared to indeed have it!

A surefire win, impossible to lose!
