Blackstone Code

From the beginning, the host told everyone, from the contestants to the audience in front of the TV, that the answers listed on the cards were all things around people.

Whether it is animals, plants, or various appliances, it will never be far away from people's living range.

Otherwise, just get some rare plants, animals, or something that only a few people know about, and there is no need to play this game.

Every player knows this rule. In fact, they get a clue for free, that is, these answers are always around them and are often seen and encountered in life.

It won't be something unpopular, which is why this show is so popular.

Audiences don't like to watch scientists talk about top scientific and technological issues on programs. They only like to watch programs that they can understand.

At least it gives them a chance to act a little clever in front of their families

"Hey, I know what the fuck the answer is!"

At the same time, ordinary answers can avoid boring, and people will participate more, which brings more attention to the program.

At this moment, what Harry was thinking about was the things around the human living environment. What things are alive that we wouldn't eat?

There are just a few types, and most of them belong to one large category of pets!

The two most common animals are cats and dogs. Some people in the West like to keep snakes and lizards, and horses are also "pets" in people's lives.

So how to define the classification of these pets so that you can quickly reduce the scope to the smallest range?

In fact, there are a lot of skills and choices involved, and Harry fell into a long silence.

Not receiving a good education does not necessarily mean that the person is a fool. Although Harry has not received higher education, he is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very shrewd and reacts quickly.

The soundtrack in the studio hall makes the atmosphere very depressing and makes people nervous involuntarily. This is also to enhance the atmosphere.

There was only one chance, Harry asked after thinking about it for three minutes, "How many legs does it have!"

The next second, many people in the audience in the studio stood up directly. They couldn't believe that Harry actually asked such a... sharp question.

Yes, sometimes you think this question is stupid, but sometimes, the effects of these stupid questions are very terrible.

Contestant No. 1's expression was difficult to maintain, because Harry was already close to his answer. He originally thought Harry would ask "Is this thing a pet?" or something like that.

Unexpectedly, he skipped the question and directly asked him how many legs this thing had.

Player No. 1 really didn’t want to answer this question, but there was no good way to avoid it.

Harry was getting closer and closer to his answer, but he was still some distance away from Harry's answer.

Finally, he came up with a figure, "It has two legs."

Some people in the auditorium and in front of the TV could no longer sit still, especially those with a little bit of brain.

Family pet, two-legged, it has almost been locked onto several animals!

The host also realized this and asked Harry, "Do you need to tell me what is written on the card in his hand?"

Harry shook his head, "I'm not sure yet."

Number One stares hard at Harry, his pressure mounting, and that's the thing about games like this, when the questions you ask aren't enough to provide you with decisive clues, you're way behind.

Now facing Contestant No. 1, if he continues to maintain his current speed and move towards the answer step by step, it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up with Harry's speed.

He had to be more aggressive and directly ask some clearly pointed questions. Only in this way could he catch up with the "progress" of the Q\u0026A and ensure that he was at least not left too far behind Harry.

But at the same time, there is actually a problem here, that is, once the questions he raises do not point in the right direction, it means that the distance between him and Harry has widened further.

Judging from the current points, player No. 1 has obviously more points, but in terms of the progress of the question and answer, he has fallen behind.

He began to think, hesitate, and find it difficult to make a decision.

People are often like this. The more they think about it, the more afraid they become of certain choices they have to make.

After almost three minutes, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

If he didn't pursue it, his chances would be very slim. He had to give it a try.

Is there anything that I can sometimes touch in the morning and sometimes not?

The first thing people come into contact with every morning when they wake up is the bed, bathroom, shower, and various toiletries. This is a bit suspicious.

Then there are clothes, clothes that must be worn every day, underwear...

When thinking about this, contestant No. 1 became a little uncertain. His wife sometimes didn't wear underwear, especially in the summer. She would feel like wearing underwear was like hell.

He himself sometimes doesn't wear them, which makes more suspicious targets.

Then there is breakfast, which is also very suspicious, because sometimes people eat breakfast, and sometimes they don’t eat it because they don’t have enough time.

Then it’s time to go to work.

the bus?

be late?

Damn, there are too many!

If the previous question hadn't gone in the wrong direction, he would have locked onto one of the big categories by now and started asking more detailed questions!

Harry's first two choices were very ordinary, maybe a little biased, but still ordinary...

Number One scratched his scalp, looked at Harry again, and clenched his fists tightly.

He decided to take a gamble.

Compared with underwear, toiletries, and work methods, everyone is less likely to be in an uncertain state due to their living habits.

The only thing that seems to be uncertain even in decades of life is breakfast.

He swallowed, "Is this... something related to breakfast?"

Harry nodded slightly, "Yes."

In fact, there is no point in catching up at this time. The other party needs at least two more questions to catch up with him.

And he might be able to kill the opponent with just one more question.

Under the host's questioning, No. 1 did not come up with an accurate answer and entered the next round.

At this time, the range was actually very, very small for Harry. Even one was not enough. Two were needed to explain its situation.

Some people keep chickens as pets, shown on TV, ducks, geese, what else?

Yes, birds.

Pigeons, hawks, and parrots are common pets that can fly.

Harry's logical thinking became clearer and clearer. He didn't think about it for too long, "Can it fly?"

Number 1's expression became even worse, and he nodded reluctantly, "Yes, it can fly."

Some people were already celebrating outside the stadium. Harry's parents and his brothers and sisters all gathered together. They also knew very well that one million was enough to change their lives!

Even give them the right to pursue their dreams!

Many people are praying, praying that Harry can win, not because they are so kind, but because they have put a lot of money on Harry.

No. 1 was in a bad mood at this time. After he took a radical step to catch up, he could only continue to chase. Now he is constantly choosing one from the other, filtering out all possible wrong answers.

"Can it be eaten?"

Harry shook his head, "It's inedible."

It has something to do with breakfast, but it cannot be eaten, restaurants, tables, chairs, vases, utensils, cutlery, and kitchen utensils.

Hell, there are so many more!

Soon it was Harry's turn, and by this time he had no more options, "Is it a predator?"

Contestant No. 1 shook his head, "No, it's not."

He then posed his own question, "Is it glass?"

Glass products and iron products are two big categories. Now he can't find that one, so he can only exclude it starting from the most common glass category.

Harry shook his head, and the power of questioning shifted to Harry's side, and he asked, "Is it..."

He hesitated for a moment, pigeon or parrot, choose one.

In this period of the Federation, there were actually more people raising pigeons than parrots, so he was very hesitant. Originally, he wanted to ask if that thing was a pigeon, but he hesitated.

If it were him, he wouldn't choose pigeons because it's too common, and what they have to do is try to mislead others.

He asked tentatively, "Is it a parrot?"

Player No. 1's fists were clenched tightly and his body was tense, as if... he was suddenly ill.

But soon, his body became normal again, and then he raised his head and showed an extremely ugly smile.

At this time, the entire federation, wherever there was a TV, fell silent for an instant.

Those who were loudly discussing the answer with their families stopped and stared at their screens.

The guys who could never pull their pants up shut their rhythmic mouths and stared at the screen.

When a "yes" came out from the mouth of contestant No. 1, everyone exclaimed in an instant!

The host also stood up with a face full of surprise and walked between the two.

"Congratulations, Harry, you won."

"Next, it's your time!"

Then the host took Harry to Studio Hall No. 1. A special carpet had been laid on the ground, and there were many Blackstone Security employees around.

Harry was standing directly under the glass box, and something thin suddenly hung down around the glass box.

As the host shouted, "Congratulations to Harry for winning the first season championship," cash rushed down from above like a waterfall.

Whether it was the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV outside the venue, their heartbeats began to accelerate at this moment, adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and their eyes turned red!

So much money!

Damn it, what if I were the champion?

Some spectators even stood up and tried to jump over the guardrail and rush in, but when they saw the Blackstone Security employees, they suddenly sobered up.

The host walked up to Harry and asked a question, "How does it feel to be hit by a million dollars?"
