This Star Doesn’t Work Overtime

  Chapter 416 414. Who is faster? You go first, as soon as I pose the question, it’s over!

　　still one word!

good!

Liang Xiaoliang thought quickly after seeing it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "I..."

 She was just about to tell the answer!

A calm voice came from the side: "You are not prepared!"

 Liang Xiaoliang just finished her words: "I know, you are unprepared when taking advantage of others. Being good means taking advantage of fewer people..."

Wang Hongyi, Chen Yuqi, Luo Xueyi, Xiao Daolin and others all remembered the answer instantly, but Wang Cheng had already spoken it out before them. Everyone's face was full of annoyance. Luo Xueyi even reached out and patted himself. His cheeks seemed to hate the iron.

 They really focused on this question and almost all thought about the answer within ten seconds.

 However, Wang Cheng still couldn't stop him from answering within a second.

 All the audience at the scene also quickly gave their own applause...

Many people in Beijing circles are secretly competing with each other, but without exception, no one can tell the answer first than Wang Cheng. At this time, they can only applaud with admiration.

Zhang Guobin smiled bitterly: "I think it may be a bit difficult to compare my thinking ability with Wang Cheng!"

He had seen the competition between Wang Cheng and the island nation's group in the magic city, and knew that Wang Cheng's talent was so quick that it was beyond imagination, and he could get the answer to any question without even thinking about it.

Li Qing was also present in the Magic City at the time and nodded in agreement.

But Jia Qian, Lu Zhen, Xuezi, Ihe Taro and others were all silent.

As the previous victims, they can best understand and empathize with the feelings of Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others on the stage at this time. The feeling of powerlessness hovering on the edge of success makes people crazy.

The question is obviously not difficult, and you can know the answer after just a little thought...

 However, people gave the answer without thinking.

 This is very helpless.

Xuezi whispered: "It seems that they did not learn the lesson from our previous defeat to Wang Cheng."

Ihe Taro shook his head: "Who wouldn't be confident in themselves? So what if they knew it? They were all very confident before facing Wang Cheng in person."

 Ika Taro and others now have no intention of competing with Wang Cheng anymore, and are mentally prepared to live in Wang Cheng's shadow for the rest of their lives.

Lu Zhen and Jia Qian both sighed again at the same time, feeling helpless and powerless.

on the stage!

The host happily announced loudly: "Congratulations to this prince for winning again. He has scored three points in a row! The other princes, please work hard. Then let's move on to the next question!"

 Another extra performer came out carrying a lantern.

Everyone looked at the words on this lantern and were slightly startled. There was an emperor character written on it!

 In ancient times, words such as emperor, king, and the emperor's surname were very taboo...

 However, the program team still used this word to pose the question.

At this moment, everyone is quickly thinking about their own idiom vocabulary!

Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi, Ma Wenlong and others frowned for a moment, and at the same time they quickly looked at Wang Cheng with some nervousness and vigilance.

 Sure enough…

Wang Cheng did not disappoint them and said directly: "White jade is flawless!"

 Still, answer in one second and give the correct answer.

 As soon as they heard this idiom, their faces were all enlightened, knowing that it was absolutely correct. White jade is flawless, jade is a little less, plus white, it is the emperor!

Liang Xiaoliang clapped her hands: "Yes, it's Bai Yu Wuxia. I almost remembered it just now..."

Liang Xiaoliang’s face was filled with anger, and she was angry with herself for not thinking faster.

However, Wang Hongyi and Chen Yuqi were speechless after hearing this, and of course no one blamed each other.

 After all, if they were given another ten seconds, almost every one of them would be able to come up with the correct answer.

 But it’s still the same reason—Wang Cheng didn’t give them time to think.

The host immediately said: "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, for answering another question correctly. The following is the last riddle. Please pay attention!"

Hearing what the host said, Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others became even more nervous. Their pretty faces were expressionless and they remained focused. They must try to answer the last question once, otherwise they would be embarrassed.

The two captains, Han Lei and Wen Honglun, whispered at the same time: "Cheer up!"

 All team members’ eyes widened…

This time, they simply ignored the group performances and only looked at the moving lantern.

I saw two words written on the lantern this time - Lantern Festival!

  Lantern Festival...?

 The Lantern Festival?

What?

 Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi and others suddenly had many idioms related to Lantern Festival in their minds.

 Chen Yuqi's eyes lit up: "One..."

 However, a voice had already finished speaking in advance: "One day and one night!"

Chen Yuqi followed up by saying: "One day and one night!"

 After saying that, Chen Yuqi knew that she was a second too late. Although she was already very fast, it only took her two seconds to think about it, which definitely squeezed out her potential.

 However, he is still not as fast as Wang Cheng.

Snapped!

Wang Cheng tapped the folding fan in his hand, looked at Chen Yuqi and the others, showed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and then continued to look at the middle field.

Chen Yuqi's breathing accelerated a lot at this moment, her face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head.

Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others all just understood the answer to this riddle idiom in an instant, and they all looked helpless!

 Lost again!

And the lantern riddle guessing has ended, which means that they completely lost to Wang Cheng in the lantern riddle guessing session, and were shaved off a bald piece.

 Five to zero!

 Crushed it without any suspense.

Wang Hongyi disguised herself as a man and wore a white gown. She looked very handsome. She clasped her fists at Wang Cheng and said, "Young Master Wang has a quick mind and is unparalleled in the world. I admire you!"

Wang Cheng smiled faintly, cupped his hands slightly, and said nothing.

Wang Hongyi stopped talking and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Han Lei also whispered at this time: "Don't worry, there will be more to come. Let's just try to win once, just once! It's not shameful to lose to him, but winning once will prove us."

Everyone was slightly excited after hearing Han Lei's words.

Indeed, Wang Cheng is now recognized as the best calligrapher in the world, and he is also excellent in poetry. It is indeed not shameful to lose to such Wang Cheng!

 However, if they can win once, they will make a lot of money, gain a reputation, and establish their status.

The host on the stage smiled and said: "Congratulations to this young man for answering another question correctly. A total of five questions have been answered correctly. Next, the second link is the couplets. With lantern riddles, how can we forget the couplets?"

 Liang Xiaoliang, Han Lei, Wang Hongyi, Ma Wenlong and others in the audience all looked excited - here they come!

 They have prepared a lot for this couplet.

I feel that this is one of the rare opportunities to win against Wang Cheng...

Liang Xiaoliang was the first person to publicly confront Wang Cheng, the couplet with the same radical, and Han Lei was also one of the few professionals in the Beijing circle who had studied couplets for many years.

 Wang Hongyi has also done a lot of research on couplets. She is the vice president of the Shuimu Couplet Association. She often discusses with the Couplet Association of Peking University. She and Liang Xiaoliang are quite famous!

In order to prepare for this stage, they have recently read a large number of ancient and modern classic couplets to accumulate their own knowledge and reserves of couplets, so that inspiration can burst out at critical moments.

Several people secretly looked at Wang Cheng and saw that Wang Cheng was still as calm as water. They were also recalling the few couplets Wang Cheng wrote last time in the magic city. They had the quick reaction of writing the neat second couplet as soon as they saw the first couplet. It was exactly the same as when I was guessing lantern riddles just now, and I felt nervous. I could only cheer myself up in my heart!

 At this point, none of them have a chance to retreat.

At this time, an extra performer came out, holding a couplet in his hand, hanging on a bamboo stick. It looked a little floating, and slowly came to the middle!

 Everyone quickly looked at the first couplet above.

I saw it written neatly on it - I got lotus root because of the load!

Liang Xiaoliang, Han Lei, Wang Hongyi and others who are good at couplets almost instantly thought about how to neatly couplets. However, they also immediately saw the metaphor hidden in the first couplet, which was related to this competition to attract a bride!

 You get lotus root because of the load!

  It can also be said to be, why do you get a chance!

 It’s a pun, and it fits the current scene.

  It can be said that it is done with thought.

 Hence, a mere literal confrontation is not correct, and a metaphor needs to be answered in the same way.

But…

How to answer this?

Liang Xiaoliang, Han Lei, Wang Hongyi and others thought a lot in just one second, and also saw the metaphor of this first couplet, which can be said to be extremely powerful!

but…

Wang Cheng, who was next to him, stretched out his hand slightly, meaning - serve with pen and ink!

 He is about to start writing the couplet.

As Wang Cheng's maids, Wen Yixiao and Han Xiao were of course always ready. They immediately brought a table from the side and spread pens, inks, paper and inkstones on it. Wen Yixiao gently polished Wang Cheng's ink while Han Xiao served him. On the side.

 This posture made Han Lei, Wen Honglun and others slightly stunned.

Many viewers in the audience couldn't help showing a hint of envy. but!

 Everyone is more concerned about what Wang Cheng will write.

 Because, only a few seconds have passed.

However, Wang Cheng immediately picked up his pen and started writing.

However, at this time, Liang Xiaoliang next to her also suddenly exclaimed: "I thought of it, get a pen and paper quickly!"

 Ma Wenlong, Luo Xueyi, Xiao Daolin and others also quickly prepared the table, pen, ink, paper and inkstone for Liang Xiaoliang, and Liang Xiaoliang also quickly started writing.

 However, Wang Cheng next to him had already finished writing.

Although Liang Xiaoliang also wrote quickly, she was a little late after all. After finishing writing, her face was still slightly annoyed, and she said to herself: "I wish I could have thought faster!"

Wang Hongyi, Chen Yuqi, Han Lei and others looked at the second couplet written by Liang Xiaoliang, and then looked at the second couplet that Wang Cheng had not picked up.

Luo Xue also whispered: "What if Wang Cheng's writing is wrong?"

Liang Xiaoliang, Wang Hongyi and others all looked at Luo Xueyi as if they were an idiot!

Luo Xueyi also smiled awkwardly and took a step back, knowing that he had said something idiotic and stupid.

With Wang Cheng’s quick thinking, how could it be wrong to write it so quickly?

 Furthermore, with Wang Cheng's usual aloof attitude and disregard for everyone, how could he allow himself to fail?

so!

 They all know that once Wang Cheng writes it, it will almost be the correct answer.

The host on the stage smiled and said: "Okay, you have all written this question, but Mr. Wang, you should hurry up. Now you can pick it up and show it to everyone, who is right?"

At the moment, Wen Yixiao and Han Xiao picked up the second couplet written by Wang Cheng. The elegant and unrestrained running calligraphy on it made people feel extremely comfortable.

Beside them, Liang Xiaoliang and Chen Yuqi also picked up the written second couplet. They were also written in running calligraphy. They were considered to have entered the room. They looked very delicate and pleasing to the eye.

 Everyone applauded together after reading it.

 Because, the two second lines are written exactly the same.

 —You don’t need plums when you have apricots!

 It can also be seen as, being lucky does not require a matchmaker, being lucky enough to be favored by a girl, being lucky enough to get a spouse without a matchmaker!

 The two of them were able to come up with the same neat second line in a very short period of time, which surprised everyone.

 So, the applause was very warm.

Although Liang Xiaoliang lost by a few seconds, she was recognized by everyone.

In just a few seconds, she came up with the same second line as Wang Cheng, such a neat and clever second line, which can be said to be quite good.

It’s just that Liang Xiaoliang herself was a little unhappy, and she only lost a few seconds...

If I can beat Wang Cheng once, can I have a few words with Wang Cheng alone?

Liang Xiaoliang looked at Wang Cheng over there, feeling very depressed.

Han Lei said encouragingly: "Xiao Liang, you are amazing, just a little bit close, come on!"

Wang Hongyi, Chen Yuqi, etc. also quickly encouraged themselves.

 After all, Liang Xiaoliang was just a little bit worse. They thought they were no worse than Liang Xiaoliang and had a chance to defeat Wang Cheng once.

The host announced loudly: "The answers written by both of them are correct, but unfortunately, Mr. Liang is a little slower, and it still counts as Mr. Wang. Everyone, please pay attention to the second question!"

Except for Wang Cheng who remained calm, the players from the other two teams once again looked at the lanterns that came out with their full attention. The person holding the lanterns was automatically ignored by them. This was invalid information.

 Only the words on the lanterns are valid information to them.

  Reducing a little bit of invalid information can also slightly improve their thinking speed.

I saw clearly written on the lantern - Knock on the chess piece last night to find the path!

The neat regular script can be read clearly by everyone.

Liang Xiaoliang, Wang Hongyi, Chen Yuqi, Han Lei, Luo Xueyi, Xiao Daolin and others quickly frowned and thought. At the same time, they also looked at Wang Cheng to see how Wang Cheng would react...

 Then, they were shocked.

 Because, Wang Cheng had already raised his hand, picked up the brush in front of him and started writing.

 He is so fast?

I was still thinking about the mystery of this first couplet, and Wang Cheng started writing it?

At this time, Wang Hongyi bit her lips and suddenly said: "I thought of..."

 Speaking, Wang Hongyi did not waste any time, quickly picked up the brush and started writing, also writing in cursive calligraphy.

  After all, running script calligraphy is the most common and the best type of calligraphy to practice.

 That’s why most young people are good at running calligraphy.

Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi and others quickly looked at the brush in Wang Hongyi's hand with anxious expressions on their faces, hoping that Wang Hongyi could finish writing quickly and finish it in one step before Wang Cheng. This would be considered a win.

 Unfortunately, Wang Cheng finished writing it first, and Wang Hongyi finished writing it two seconds later.

In order to finish writing quickly, Wang Hongyi also wrote extremely sloppily, and her original calligraphy skills were not fully utilized. Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow.

The host raised his hand and said: "Okay, please come up with the second couplet you have written!"

 All the audience members in the audience were a little nervous, and many people stood up to get a clearer view.

  Under the close-up of the camera, everyone can see clearly.

This time, the second couplet written by the two people was exactly the same...

 Today I see Yan Hui in the mirror!

 Less than a minute passed, and both of them wrote exactly the same second line.

Many people at the scene who knew couplets saw the second couplet and suddenly understood the mystery of this couplet!

"It turned out that Zilu and Yan Hui were both disciples of Confucius. I didn't even think of it just now. Young people nowadays are really amazing. It's okay for Wang Cheng to be such a monster, because he has always been a monster. But those two just now A girl from Beijing University, Shuimu, actually figured it out in just ten seconds, what a terrible future!"

 An old man sighed in the audience.

Han Lei on the stage also smiled bitterly. He has indeed studied couplets for many years. This is his hobby, but it is still difficult for him to think of neat second couplets in just a few seconds. After all, he is very old. Yes, no young person can react quickly.

 At this time…

The host just wanted to speak.

Wang Hongyi clasped her fists slightly towards the host and Wang Cheng, and said politely: "Master Wang, host, we would like to ask Wang Cheng alone for advice on couplets, can you?"

The host was slightly stunned. Is this a one-on-one challenge between the two sides?

She didn't dare to decide, and looked at the backstage not far away without trace. Then Qin Shangran's voice came from the headset: "Okay, let them challenge each other, there is nothing to say. Moreover, the program will be more effective." good!"

The host understood clearly and looked at Wang Cheng: "Master Wang, what do you think?"

Wang Cheng tapped the folding fan in his hand and said calmly: "I don't care..."

Looking at Wang Cheng's relaxed and indifferent expression, Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang and others gritted their teeth in their hearts, striving to beat Wang Cheng once.

 After all, with so many of them trying their best, Wang Cheng won easily.

 How will they hang out in Beijing in the future?

Seeing that Wang Cheng agreed, Wang Hongyi immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Wang, who will propose the question first?"

Wang Cheng knocked on the folding fan again and said calmly: "You go first, otherwise it will be over as soon as I come up with the question!"

 After speaking, Wang Cheng glanced around.

After all, Wen Yixiao and Han Xiao knew Wang Cheng very well and knew what Wang Cheng was looking for. They quickly moved an imperial chair from the street next to him and placed it behind Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng also sat down on it.

Then Wen Yixiao brought a cup of hot tea from the tea stall next to the extras and handed it to Wang Cheng with both hands.

Wang Cheng also gently took the tea cup, and then moved elegantly and skillfully, just like a noble man in ancient times, took a gentle sip, and then handed the tea cup to Wen Yixiao, and Wen Yixiao quietly held the tea cup with both hands. Standing next to her, she really felt like a maid who had served Wang Cheng for many years.

 This posture…

 The scene fell silent, and all the audience took a deep breath, feeling like they were watching a big shot.

Wang Hongyi, Liang Xiaoliang, Chen Yuqi, Han Lei, Wen Honglun and others also suppressed their faces and glared at Wang Cheng angrily.

 Because of what Wang Cheng said just now - you go first, otherwise it will be over as soon as I raise the question!

  Does this mean you didn’t take them into account at all?
