Chapter 140 : Chapter 140
Chapter 140
In the manga, Bai Xuechao's reaction to this sentence was very intriguing.
This row was evenly divided into three panels. In the first panel, Bai Xuechao's lips were slightly parted, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly, and the words “light chuckle” were written next to his mouth. In the second panel, he maintained this expression, his red eyes, which held a hint of a smile, turning towards Zhou Chenhao. In the third panel, his lips closed, revealing a clear smile.
He curved his lips: “Come on, let's see who's faster.”
【One sentence, and my wifey smiled for me twice! (just kidding)】
【The challenge has been issued! I'm feeling fired up! (Head on fire)】
【Ahhh, I'm so conflicted. I want my wifey to win, but I don't want Brother Hao to lose. (Sweating profusely)】
【These two smiles are too meaningful.】
【I feel like Bai Xuechao was shocked by Brother Hao's method, which he didn't expect at all, so he smiled?】
【emmmm, I think with Axue's brain, he should have been able to think of this method. Could it be that he's interested in the male lead because the male lead also thought of this method?】
【I, a mere mortal, don't know what's going on in Xuexue's little head =.=】
【Hey, now that you mention it, I suddenly realized that old scoundrel Bai has never revealed Bai Xuechao's inner monologue.】
【That's right, why didn't he write it? Is it to maintain the character's mysterious feeling?】
【It can't be that Bai Xuechao has too many psychological activities and is a roast fiend, which would lower his coolness, hahaha!】
The quiz continued.
For the 23rd question, after the question appeared on the screen, the manga arranged the close-ups of the three people into a row. The first one was Bai Xuechao answering “A.” The small text next to him said “immediately.” Seeing him ranked first, it was assumed that he was the first to answer. Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng were quite in sync, one answering “A” and the other “B.”
Bai Xuechao answered incorrectly and sighed, “I guessed wrong,” then pulled the rope.
【Holy shit, regardless of whether Bai Xuechao is right or wrong, he's the fastest.】
【Hahaha, Brother Hao is in danger. (Smiling like a fake fan)】
【My god, I'm not fired up anymore. I'm so afraid this is going to be a crushing defeat, then my Brother Hao… hiss.】
For the 24th question, there was another row of three close-up panels. This time, the first one was Zhou Chenhao, the second was Ling Feng, and the last was Bai Xuechao.
After this row, Ling Feng got another solo shot. He looked thoughtful and thought to himself: Slower than last time?
Zhou Chenhao answered correctly, and Bai Xuechao pulled a rope, still safe.
【Axue actually answered slower, why!】
【Ling, the little cat, noticed. I wonder what he can figure out.】
【Say it or not, my wifey is really a lucky goose. He can even pull off one of the only two safety ropes in a one-in-four chance.】
For the 25th question, there were still three close-up panels. The first was Ling Feng, the second was Zhou Chenhao, and the third was Bai Xuechao. Between Ling Feng's and Zhou Chenhao's panels was written “only a 0.01 second difference,” indicating how close their answering intervals were.
Ling Feng answered correctly, and Bai Xuechao had to pull another rope.
However, the manga inserted close-ups of Zhou Chenhao's and Ling Feng's expressions here. Their expressions both looked a little solemn, as if they had discovered something bad.
【I don't even know who among the three of them is faster or slower anymore…】
【They're taking turns being first. (Facepalming with a bitter smile)】
【Brother Hao and the little cat's expressions are not right, what happened?】
【My wifey has to choose one out of three, ahhhh! There's only one safety rope left! (On tenterhooks)】
After this, it was still not Bai Xuechao's shot, but a side shot of Ling Feng. He thought to himself: In these two questions, Bai Xuechao was not only answering normally, but his speed was also getting faster and faster!
Next to it was another bubble, but without a small tail, it was obviously for explanatory purposes, and it said: Just now, Bai Xuechao was only 0.04 seconds slower than Ling Feng.
With this bubble as the start of the explanation, the next few bubbles took up a lot of space, explaining Zhou Chenhao's and Ling Feng's reaction speeds, as well as the reaction speed calculated after Bai Xuechao answered directly without thinking for the first time. Then, it used the answering speeds of the 24th and 25th questions as a comparison to analyze Bai Xuechao's current normal answering speed.
Finally, the narrator posed a question, which could also be the question in Ling Feng's mind: Could Bai Xuechao become faster than them in answering questions? Is that possible? Can humans really do that?
【Damn, those explanations are going to make me dizzy.】
【TL;DR: The male lead and the second male lead answer without thinking (blindly guessing) in 0.12 and 0.13 seconds, while it takes Bai Xuechao 0.17 seconds to answer after thinking about the answer, and it's possible for him to get even faster.】
【Ahhh, my wifey is so handsome! Mwah! Give them a big shock. (Obedient)】
【I told you Bai Xuechao is a paradise for power-admirers. (Smoking)】
【No way, no way? Is Brother Hao going to be crushed? (My buckwheat pillow is crying so hard it's sprouting.)】
【Ling Feng: Can humans do that? Bai Xuechao: Yes.】
The camera of the manga finally returned to Bai Xuechao. He pulled off a rope and was safe again. Now he only had two system ropes left.
For the 26th question, Bai Xuechao was first, Zhou Chenhao was second, and Ling Feng was third.
Bai Xuechao answered correctly, winning game coins.
The camera turned to Ling Feng, who thought to himself that Bai Xuechao probably guessed directly when he encountered a long question, and answered normally for a short question.
【I told you my wifey is a lucky goose!! (Proudly puffing out chest)】
【Ling Feng the little cat's guess is right. I went back and looked at the length of the previous questions, and it really is this pattern.】
【Bai Xuechao now has over 1.94 billion game coins, which is terrifying. Brother Hao is in danger.】
The 27th question was a short one, but there were only two panels. On the left was Bai Xuechao, and on the right was Zhou Chenhao. They both answered “A,” and in the middle was written “at the same time.”
The next panel was a close-up of Zhou Chenhao's expression. He widened his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Xuechao, thinking to himself: His answering speed has actually caught up to mine!
The big screen froze because it was difficult to determine who was first.
The next panel was a full-body shot of Bai Xuechao, with the perspective from below. Bai Xuechao sat on the swing, looking down with a blank expression, giving off an air of looking down on the world.
After that was a shot of Gong Ting. He was lying at the bottom of the pit, having already passed out from excessive blood loss.
【Good news: I'm fired up. Bad news: Brother Hao is going to be used as fuel.】
【Help me, I'm really going to die of nervousness. I'm almost afraid to turn the page. Even if Brother Hao is fast this time, what about next time? I can almost foresee the scene of Brother Hao being crushed. (Crying loudly)】
【Brother Hao, you're a hot-blooded manga protagonist! Pull yourself together! (Grabbing collar)】
【Maybe Brother Hao's journey has been a little too smooth so far, so give him some setbacks… (Pinching the philtrum of my nose)】
【Jade Liquor looks like he's about to G.】
The big screen finally gave the result: Bai Xuechao had answered correctly.
The manga here was two close-up shots of their expressions joined together. Both Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng were stunned, and they shared a single inner monologue bubble: It's over.
The next three questions were all short ones, and Bai Xuechao answered them all correctly, getting three in a row.
However, the manga also explained here that at the beginning, Bai Xuechao was a few milliseconds faster than Zhou Chenhao, but now he was only 2 milliseconds faster, and Zhou Chenhao's reaction speed was also getting faster.
Next was a solo shot of Zhou Chenhao. His inner monologue stated that he had been born with a faster reaction speed than others, and with the enhancement from his special ability upgrades, his reaction speed was already very fast. Just now, in order to catch up with Bai Xuechao, he had broken through his limit, but it was still only the speed of the other party's normal answering. Therefore, he believed that Bai Xuechao's level was definitely not just level 7.
While Zhou Chenhao was thinking, “What level is he?” and was in a daze, the manga inserted a small panel showing the question on the big screen. At this time, Zhou Chenhao was in a daze because he was thinking about Bai Xuechao's level and could not answer.
Because it was a long question, Bai Xuechao answered instantly, but he answered incorrectly and needed to pull a rope.
【I… you… my language system is about to collapse right now, who understands me! (Roaring)】
【Sister in front, I understand, I understand! I thought Brother Hao was going to be crushed and done for, but it turns out he's also evolving, which gave me a surprise. Just when I thought he could catch up to Bai Xuechao, this guy actually got dazed thinking about Bai Xuechao's level and didn't answer the question! Just when I was pinching the philtrum of my nose, hey, Bai Xuechao answered incorrectly.】
【I really can't stand this rollercoaster of emotions! (Fainting)】
【Wuwu, can Brother Hao catch up to Bai Xuechao in the next question?】
【It's hard to say. If it's a long question, Bai Xuechao won't think, so he definitely won't be able to catch up. If it's a short question, then there's no hope. (Inhaling oxygen)】
Bai Xuechao grabbed the hemp rope and stood up on the swing, but a few lines were drawn next to him, with the words “unsteady” and “swaying.” In the next panel, he leaned his head against the hemp rope on one side, as if he was a little uncomfortable, and reached out to pull off a system rope.
Under the red light of the screen, he calmly moved his feet and stood on the swing board hanging from a single hemp rope.
After that, Ling Feng asked Zhou Chenhao if he was daydreaming just now. Zhou Chenhao admitted it and said he had a question to ask, then he asked Bai Xuechao: “You, you're not just level 6, are you?”
【Why do I feel like my wifey is not feeling well? (Worried)】
【I think so too. After Axue stood up, it shouldn't be the swing that's unsteady, it's his body that's unsteady. And then he leaned his head against the hemp rope, as if he was very weak and tired.】
【If Brother Hao can win next, it can't be because Xuexue has a debuff, right, hahaha? (Covering face)】
【Ah, this, he just asked directly like that?】
【Can Axue deny it and then lie…?】
Who knew that in the manga, Bai Xuechao actually admitted it.
Both Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng were shocked. Then, many questions popped up in Ling Feng's mind, and he suspected Bai Xuechao's purpose.
Bai Xuechao said he was level 7 but was refuted by Zhou Chenhao, the reason being that his reaction speed was faster than his, and the degree of enhancement had exceeded that of a level 7 special ability user.
So Bai Xuechao explained that it was due to his physical condition. Every time he upgraded and enhanced, he would crazily increase his speed, but his strength would be neglected.
The manga here was a medium shot of Bai Xuechao.
The extremely pale white-haired boy had a non-human beauty. His facial features were so delicate that they seemed to be in a different layer from others. Under his snow-white long eyelashes, his blood-red eyes were brilliant and magnificent under the light, like a precious and rare Moussaieff Red Diamond. His thin body leaned against the hemp rope, his waist was slender, and the fingers holding the hemp rope were pale and long, with prominent wrist bones.
Zhou Chenhao asked if that was possible. Ling Feng confirmed it, so Zhou Chenhao had no more questions.
【I feel sorry for my Xue. To be able to say with a smile that his body is very poor, he must have gone through a lot.】
【Sorry, it's just too beautiful. I took a screenshot and painted over the dialogue box, and now it's already set as my wallpaper. (Obedient)】
【Look at this face! This head-to-shoulder ratio! This waist! This hand! If you dare to object when I say my wifey is a divine-grade product, I'll be full of martial virtue! (just kidding)】
【So Bai Xuechao is really a level 7 special ability user? Damn, he's such a high level, he's not playing by the rules! Bullying two little kids! (Pointing fingers)】
【Well, if I remember correctly, my wifey is a year younger than them (.)】
The quiz continued.
The 31st question was a long one. Bai Xuechao answered first and guessed correctly, but his speed had actually decreased.
But even so, Zhou Chenhao and Ling Feng had no chance.
Ling Feng calculated that even if they could get all the remaining game coins in the prize pool, they would still be short of more than eighty million game coins to redeem everything they had pawned.
He thought, Bai Xuechao had won.
【Help me, no! (Covering mouth and crying bitterly)】
【You guys are the protagonist group! How did you lose!】
【Why do I feel like you guys are treating my Xue as a villain BOSS. (Crying and laughing)】
【We still can't be sure what Bai Xuechao's attitude towards the protagonist group is, and you see he's already won like this…】
【Can't you transfer game coins? What if Axue transfers them?】
The 31st question was a long one. Bai Xuechao did not need to think and guessed the answer, but he said it at the same time as Zhou Chenhao.
The big screen began to play their picture in slow motion, confirming that Bai Xuechao was a little faster.
【I'm giao, Bai Xuechao has over 2.24 billion game coins.】
【My baby Axue's speed seems to have slowed down after he felt unwell, but no matter what, he's already won. (Shy)】
【My wifey is so amazing! I'm coming to kiss you, mwah mwah! (Making crazy heart signs)】
【As expected, people's joys and sorrows are not connected. Hao fans now feel like their world has collapsed. I just want to ask, can Brother Hao's personality be redeemed? (Closing eyes)】
【Holy shit! You've asked the key question! And there's still Ling Feng's! (A Ling Feng fan quietly shattered)】
