Chapter 138 Advancement

"Number one?" Sheng Yuexin's pupils trembled. She suspected that she was hallucinating, otherwise why would she hear Bai Lizhi say that she was the first to enter the lounge.

Bai Lizhi nodded.

Sheng Yuexin swallowed and looked at Bai Lizhi with a hint of jealousy that he was not aware of.

It turns out that God is really extremely partial to someone.

Sheng Yuexin knew that Bai Lizhi's mental power was very strong when he took revenge. He thought that being beautiful and powerful was God's preference for him.

Unexpectedly, in addition to this, there is also a crushing on knowledge.

While lamenting God's favoritism towards Bai Lizhi, Sheng Yuexin suddenly thought of what he had said with a smile before, asking Bai Lizhi to form a team with him.

The look in his eyes at Bai Lizhi couldn't help but make him feel guilty, and he also felt a little more thankful.

Fortunately, Bai Lizhi didn't take this sentence seriously. Otherwise, it would be great to be led away by the first place in the second level, but in the third level, he might not even have a chance to struggle.

Sheng Yuexin didn't ask who Bai Lizhi had formed a team with. He changed the subject: "I'm going to eat. Li Zhi, do you want to come with me?"

The guilty conscience on Sheng Yuexin's face was so obvious that Bai Lizhi knew why he was guilty without even thinking about it. She refused and said, "No, I have something else to do."

After saying that, Bai Lizhi opened the door and went back to the dormitory, giving Sheng Yuexin no chance to say goodbye.

Of course, Bai Lizhi's trouble is not an excuse to reject the other party, but it is really something.

A historical knowledge competition has been held for a hundred years. The first place on stage has gone from a simple speech at the beginning to a talent show, which is called a comprehensive development.

Although Bai Lizhi was not sure that she would get the first place in the end, she still wanted to continue to complete the painting in her hand.

Compared with gods like Di Lian and Jing Yunwan, Bai Lizhi, who only has the identity of a painter, seems to have no sense of existence, and her popularity has also declined.

If she can finish the painting in hand, Bai Lizhi can be sure that the identity of Xuan She will gain a lot of popularity.

The brush that has absorbed enough ink is moving on the silk, and the little people appear in the scroll one after another. When you look at the whole painting from a bird's eye, no one has the same expression.

Day and night alternate, and the lights in Bai Lizhi's dormitory never dim at night. Ink, cinnabar, indigo and other materials are consumed under Bai Lizhi's hands at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bai Lizhi didn't stop writing until the alarm clock rang, reminding her that the promotion match would start in one hour.

She cleaned herself up.

Although she has been using cleansing techniques to clean her body these days and there is no dirt or smell on her body, it is still necessary to take a shower before the competition.

There were less than 500 people who advanced from the preliminary round to the promotion round, and the elimination rate was as high as 70%. But for the examiners, the number of people left was still too much.

The team formation has been completed. The names of each team are written on the huge light screen, and the order in which they enter the lounge is also marked behind each name.

Bai Lizhi and Ji Muxuan's names are at the top, so the contestants can easily see their rankings.

The No. 1 and No. 2 pair up. I'm afraid this is not the rhythm of turning against each other. What is No. 1 thinking in his head, or do these two people have a grudge?

The situation of the team of Bai Lizhi and Ji Muxuan became the topic of discussion by most people in the audience, and the examiners were also puzzled by Bai Lizhi's choice.

They saw that although Bai Lizhi's performance was very good, his behavior in choosing to form a second team was still too unstable.

But now that the deal is done, it's useless no matter how hard they hate iron.

After learning from the chat after the preliminary round that Bai Lizhi was the first place in the preliminary round, Sheng Yuexin was particularly concerned about who Bai Lizhi chose as his teammate.

Now that the answer was revealed, Sheng Yuexin's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that Bai Lizhi would choose the second teammate, but thinking about Bai Lizhi's extraordinary performance, Sheng Yuexin felt that it was a bit natural.

In order to consolidate his number one position, of course he must cut through the mess quickly and get rid of the second most likely threat to his position.

Without the biggest threat on the surface, no matter whether there are some contestants pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, as the number one, Bai Lizhi does not have to worry about losing her position all the time.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had guessed the truth. Sheng Yuexin silently lit a candle for Ji Muchuan in her heart.

However, the second place player is also really brave and directly chooses to face Bai Lizhi. Now there is something good to watch.

The promotion competition uses a group question answering mode. The competition venue is in a very spacious room with an area as large as three football fields.

The competition method is that two people form a team and divide the work to answer questions. The time limit is 90 minutes and 650 questions. A score of 120 is considered qualified.

The first 400 questions are a mixture of single-choice and multiple-choice questions, and the next 250 are short-answer and essay questions, totaling 150 points.

The amount of this question is quite stressful even for two people.

Before the competition started, Ji Muxuan told Bai Lizhi that his advantage was in the multiple-choice questions. When the time came, he would be the one to answer the multiple-choice questions, and the questions he didn't know would be handed over to Bai Lizhi.

Multiple-choice questions are the easiest to score and consume the least time. However, since Ji Muxuan has already proposed that he should do it, Bai Lizhi will not argue with him.

A thick test paper was placed in front of Ji Muxuan and Bai Lizhi by the examiner. They first separated the multiple-choice questions from other question types, and then only waited for the bell to ring before they began to answer the questions.

As expected of the first and second rankings, the two were the fastest among all the contestants. Ji Muxuan was almost eleven, and two seconds was the answer, while Bai Lizhi's speed was not slow either.

Forget it soon, but Bai Lizhi's writing was very beautiful and neat. Compared with other handwritings that were written in a hurry because they were in a hurry, it was as if they were copied from a copybook.

As he was writing, the examiner who came to Bai Lizhi's side during the inspection stopped beside her for a long time, while Bai Lizhi continued to answer questions as if he didn't see her at all.

Seeing that his colleague had been standing beside the contestant with no intention of moving, the examiner standing on the high platform raised his head and motioned to the examiner behind him to take a look at the situation.

Later, I realized that I actually watched Bai Lizhi answer the questions for nearly half a stick of incense. The examiner standing next to Bai Lizhi glanced at the test paper that Bai Lizhi had changed with some reluctance, and continued his inspection.

Without any surprise, the team of Bai Lizhi and Ji Muxuan successfully won the first place in the promotion round, scoring a high score of 148.9.

The nearly perfect score surpassed the second place by a full ten points, and once again shocked the examiners and staff who saw this result.

There were no deductions for the part that Bai Lizhi was responsible for, and it was even so perfect that the examiner who graded her paper wanted to give her extra points.

The reason why there was no perfect score was because Ji Muxuan chose the wrong answer or missed the answer for several questions. He was full of confidence when filling in the answers. Ji Muxuan did not feel that he had made any wrong choices at all, so he did not let Bai Lizhi check and handed in the paper directly.

The moment the deduction points came out, Ji Muxuan regretted why he didn't check Bai Lizhi. If they had picked out these wrong questions, they would have won the first place in all promotions in this history knowledge competition.

At that time, even if he is defeated by Bai Lizhi, the person who sent him to participate in the competition will not say anything. After all, Bai Lizhi's strength is there, so it is natural that he cannot defeat the opponent.

The number of more than 400 people was suddenly reduced to 64. The examiners sincerely congratulated these contestants who had passed the promotion round and informed them that the next competition would be in a week and asked them to go back and prepare well.

After all the contestants had left, the examiners gathered together to look at Bai Lizhi's test paper, and they would express their admiration from time to time.

If it weren't for the stipulation that at the end of the competition, all test papers would be destroyed, and the examiners would definitely fight for the ownership of this test paper.

As soon as Bai Lizhi returned to the dormitory, she saw that the door of Sheng Yuexin's dormitory was wide open, and the sound of packing things kept coming from inside.

Sheng Yuexin failed to pass this competition, so he lost the qualification to stay here.

The rule of leaving immediately as soon as you are eliminated is certainly very unkind, but out of consideration for your own interests, it is difficult for the contestants who advance to say anything.

The venue does not restrict the activities of contestants in the venue. If these eliminated contestants have complaints and cause trouble that affects those who want to continue the competition, it will be very detrimental to those who advance.

Bai Lizhi did not go to say hello to Sheng Yuexin, but silently returned to her dormitory.

Hearing the sound of the door opposite opening and closing, Sheng Yuexin stopped packing her things and suddenly felt worthless for her previous self.

Although he did not call Bai Li Zhi a brother, when someone came to deal with Bai Li Zhi before, he not only did not flinch, but also thought about how to protect him.

It was good now that he was about to leave, but Bai Lizhi still looked cold and cold, as if they had never crossed paths.

Whether it was because of his personality or because he looked down upon him, Bai Lizhi's behavior undoubtedly hurt him.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Sheng Yuexin started to pack her things more vigorously. For a moment, even outside the corridor was filled with the sound of Sheng Yuexin packing her things.

So he didn't notice that when he was almost done cleaning up, the door of Bai Lizhi's dormitory was opened again.

When Sheng Yuexin went out with a large suitcase in each hand, she also carried a bulging schoolbag on her back, which looked very heavy.

Does this mean that everyone has moved here?

Bai Lizhi, who always travels lightly, doesn't understand why humans always bring so many things with them when they go out. Some things are obviously unnecessary.

Wearing a sun hat and going out with his back turned, he didn't even see Bai Li Zhi standing at the door of his dormitory.

Bai Lizhi, who could sense Sheng Yuexin's grievance, anger, regret and other emotions, asked aloud: "Front door or back door?"

Sheng Yuexin closed the door for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Lizhi, his expression still stuck on the emotion of grievance.

"You..." Sheng Yuexin opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

Bai Lizhi forcefully took a suitcase from Sheng Yuexin's hand and asked again: "Front door or back door?"

"Back, back door." Sheng Yuexin, who was shocked that Bai Lizhi actually came out to see him off and carried his luggage, was a little embarrassed when he spoke.

After getting the answer, Bai Lizhi pulled her suitcase and walked towards the elevator. Sheng Yuexin, who was left behind, was left dazed for a while before she realized what she was doing and caught up.

Sheng Yuexin, who was chasing after her, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, and her whole person returned to the heartless and sunny young man before.

After bidding farewell to Sheng Yuexin, Bai Lizhi returned to a life of painting all day long.

And when you are extremely focused on something, time will always pass very quickly. Bai Lizhi only feels that the competition will be over again in the blink of an eye.

Ji Muxuan, who faced Bai Lizhi in the first round, was eliminated without any suspense.

When leaving the field, Ji Muxuan approached Bai Lizhi's ear with a mysterious look and whispered to her that he only wanted to lose, so he went to form a team with Bai Lizhi, who was the number one.

Bai Lizhi looked at him puzzled.

Ji Muchuan smiled and explained: "It's true that I like to compete with people who are better than myself, but the premise is that I take the initiative and not be forced to do so."

After speaking, Ji Muxuan winked at Bai Lizhi and made a stop gesture, and then continued: "I won't go into the more detailed reasons. You have to work hard in the next game. As the number one, you will definitely be able to do it."

Let’s continue to take first place, right?”
To be continued...
