On the other side.
Professor Xue was stunned to see Ming Ni walking up to the stage. "They’re sending Ming Ni up in the third match? Then who are they sending for the fourth match?"
Yang Tianming could guess the M University professor’s plan. Given Gu Mang’s capabilities, they would lose no matter who they sent to compete against her, so they might as well try to win the third match. At least they had a chance of winning against Shen Qianzi.
Gu Mang lazily sat back in her seat with her eyes closed. Nobody could tell whether she was truly sleeping or not though.
Gu Si leaned forward and pulled the back of her chair, tutting as he watched the stage. "Sis, look how frightening you were. They already know that they’re going to lose to you."
His voice sounded especially arrogant, which made Yang Tianming and the rest of the team’s lips twitch.
Gu Mang remained motionless as if she had truly fallen asleep.
Meanwhile, a countdown to 15 seconds appeared on the big screen, along with Capital University’s first question.
[State the most effective mechanism for increasing heat production in the body.]
Qiao You read the question. "State the most effective mechanism for increasing heat production in the body. Wasn’t it tested in the first match? Shivering thermogenesis and non-shivering thermogenesis."
"Read it carefully. The question asks for the most effective mechanism. There’s only one answer."
We’ve never learned the difference between the two mechanisms. We’re stuck already? Qiao You froze before asking, "Which is the answer?"
Chen Xu was not sure either, so he could not answer her question. There were 10 seconds left on the timer, yet they had yet to answer.
Yang Tianming’s heart thumped as an ominous feeling overcame him.
Gu Si narrowed his eyes. "What’s there to think about? Isn’t the answer shivering thermogenesis? It’s so simple."
The rest of the team turned their heads stiffly in his direction as they gawked at him in shock. This boy...
Even Yang Tianming tore his eyes away from the competition to look at Gu Si.
Meanwhile, Shen Qianzi could not make up her mind between the two mechanisms. She eventually answered ’non-shivering thermogenesis’ at the very last second.
The AI system immediately beeped to indicate that it was the wrong answer.
That made Shen Qianzi panick right away.
It was Ming Ni’s turn to answer the next question. She took only a few seconds to think before answering it. It was the correct answer.
Shen Qianzi squeezed her fingers, almost collapsing on stage out of anxiety.
The questions got harder and harder as they progressed. Both Shen Qianzi and Ming Ni experienced some difficulty answering. Still, Shen Qianzi got more questions wrong.
By the end of the third match, everyone knew who the winner was even without the organizers announcing the results. Capital University had undoubtedly lost the match.
Shen Qianzi’s face looked a little pale as she quietly returned to her seat. All she was thinking about was how embarrassing it was to lose 2 matches in a row.
Qiao You was a little upset with Shen Qianzi, so she did not comfort her this time. After hearing all that big talk, I thought it’d be a guaranteed win for us, but we lost both matches thanks to her!
Shen Qianzi’s eyes drooped as she squeezed her fingers tightly. I never expected to lose. Plus, Leng Xuan gave me so many resources...
