Episode 46: The White Intellect (3)

“Since Na-yoon Son was unfortunately eliminated in the 8th stage, the program will proceed as a confrontation between the contestants from the 9th stage. I hope the viewers will also support the rest of us.”

The MC starts to type a comment slowly while looking at camera 1.

Then, all the cameras that were set towards Na-yun Son point to the conductive magnet.

The faces of the contestants as they saw the camera lens facing them hardened.

“Now then, from now on, we will start a fierce battle between the contestants for the prize money of 23.65 million won and the white intellectual spot.”

As the MC reaches out to the challengers and speaks, loud sound effects and applause from the audience fill the set.

“Come on, everyone, there is not much left. Do you see it over there?”

The MC says while pointing to the electronic sign installed above the set. The amount of prize money accumulated so far is written on the electronic display board.

Expectations begin to form on the faces of the challengers who looked at the electronic signboard.

“To date, a total of 23.65 million won has been accumulated. I think this might be the highest score since I was in charge of the broadcast. I’m really looking forward to who will survive to the end and take the place of white intellectuals.”

The MC, who has spoken up to this point, pauses for a moment and glances over the contestant's seat. It's like choosing a fish with good water.

Then he smiles and opens his mouth to see if he has chosen a good fish.

“Now, before we start the showdown, let’s listen to the determination of the remaining players. Then first…”

As the MC starts to stir, the challengers begin to get nervous.

They seem to be burdened with conducting an interview in the first place.

“Competitor number 14. Please introduce yourself briefly.”

Coincidentally, he is a person in the ranks of Joon-young. All the remaining contenders and those who were eliminated look at him.

But he smiles coldly with a look that says nothing is wrong.

“Oh, it’s me. All right. Hello. My name is Jo Min-soo, who participated in the white cadastre this time.”

Then the MC changes his eyes and starts to open his mouth.

“You said you were a doctor. If you don't mind, could you tell me which hospital he works in?"

From the looks of it, it seems that the writers contacted them in advance and hired them. Otherwise, the MC wouldn't have been familiar with the challenger's information.

Hearing the MC's words, Jo Min-soo nodded his head with a relaxed expression.

"Yes. I am currently working as a ‘Thoracic surgeon’ at a hospital in Jongno.”

Hearing his words, the audience begins to murmur. Then Jo Min-soo let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.

“I am a thoracic surgeon.”

Then, as if when he murmured, the audience burst into admiration. Just by looking at his face, he looked young as if he was just going through an intern or residency course, but he seems to be surprised that he is a specialist.

Hearing Jo Min-soo's answer, the MC shook his head and opened his mouth slowly.

“Ah, Thoracic Surgery... I heard that they are the most difficult and busy doctors among doctors, but how did you come to work today? Maybe because of the prize money?”

Some people harden their faces at the MC's words. In some cases, it could be understood as a criticism of participating in the program.

Not surprisingly, Jo Min-soo, who heard the MC's words, frowned slightly.“It’s ‘off’ today.”

It was a cold reply. The MC's expression hardens.

"Ah... off-duty..."

At that moment, Jo Min-soo said with a small smile.

“It’s a joke. Actually, I don't really care about the prize money. The decision to come out today was made after hearing that Na-yoon Son was coming. As soon as I heard about Na-yoon Son's promise, I was applying without realizing it. So today we're going to win anyway."

After showing his determination to win, he smiles slightly as he looks at Na-yoon Son, who is resting on one side of the set.

Then Na-yoon Son tilts her head with a bright expression.

“… yes, that’s right. So let's move on to the next one. Well, there are a lot of particularly handsome people in the second row. Then... the 16th challenger sitting next to Minsoo Cho. please introduce yourself. I would like it to be as short as possible due to time constraints.”

As the MC spoke, Challenger 16 opened his mouth slowly.

"Hello. Attorney Lee Hyung-tap. He is currently working at a law firm in Gwanghwamun. Like Mr. Cho Min-soo, I am not interested in the prize money.”

Like Jo Min-soo, he said that he was not interested in any prize money. Then the MC, who was looking at him, made a shaky expression.

“Then, are you a lawyer?”

"Yes that's right. I am also a fan of Na-yoon Son. I came here out of a pure fan heart for Na-yoon Son.”

When he speaks in a slow tone, the MC puts on a puzzled expression.

Follow-

The moment the screen displays the answer to the 10-step question. Various emotions come to mind on the faces of the challengers.

“Ah, the ten-step problem. The answer to 'editing existing texts or movies and making them into one finished product' was 'weaving' the third time. I’m sorry.”

In an instant, sighs leaked from the mouths of the fallen challengers.

Doctor Jo Min-soo, who passed the problem easily, looked at the fallen people with cold eyes.

‘Can’t you solve a problem like this?’

As he looked at people with contempt, lawyers Lee Hyung-sik and Kim Jun-young come into his eyes. They have passed the 10-step problem like this type.

'Still, those two are worthy of use.'

He nodded slowly, thinking, remembering the faces of the other two.

“Ah, it seems like a lot of people are being eliminated from the 10th level question. I'm sorry. But you've worked really hard so far. Now, everyone in the audience, give us a round of applause for the challengers who have worked hard so far!”

As the MC speaks while looking at the audience, the audience applauds the challengers.

Then those who have fallen, and those who still remain, clapped together.

After the applause has subsided to some extent, the MC starts the process again.

“Now, like this, five people in the ninth stage. At present, two contestants from stage 10 have been eliminated. There are only three contenders left.”

Then slowly approaching the challenge magnet.

With his eyes shining, he glanced at the last three contestants one after another.

“Today, the challengers seem to have excellent abilities. At other times, the winner would have already been decided, but it’s amazing that there are still three contenders left…”

Then, I glance at the cue sheet, turn my head to the staff, and have a short conversation with them.

And the MC after consulting with the production team starts the process again.

“Actually, the problems we prepared were from steps 1 to 10. So, from the 11th stage onwards, the last person is decided through preliminary problems in overtime. As much as we did not know that the level of challengers would be this high. We ask for your understanding of the delay.”

“Now, while the questions are being prepared, let’s hear the testimonies of the last remaining contenders.”

After finishing the speech, the MC looks at Jo Min-soo and smiles.

“Ah, challenger number 14. How do you feel now?”

Doctor Jo Min-soo silently looked at the MC who asked him how he felt.

it's a feeling

In fact, I had no feelings at all. If there is, is it just that the process to Na-yoon Son is too long and boring?

Of course, correcting the problem that had to be answered did not give me a different feeling, so if I had to ask for my opinion, well, there was nothing I could say.

However, if you feel a different emotion to the extent of gathering people's eyes... it wasn't that either.

After all, since I was a child, I was tired of people's envy and jealous eyes.

A family richer than others.

smarter than others

looks better than others.

In fact, to him, such a gaze was so low that it could not even arouse even the slightest interest.

but. One thing I really liked was that whenever he solved a problem, a person named Na-yoon Son became closer.

‘Son Na-yoon.’

A being who creates a small ripple in him, who has been accustomed to stimulating experiences since childhood.

He didn't even know his heart to be drawn to common girl group members.

‘Oh my God, I’m going to be a virtuoso…’

For him, this program was an opportunity to naturally approach her.

If she took advantage of his network, she would be able to make contact with Son Na-yun right away, but he didn't want to do that to her alone.

But he couldn't call these thoughts a feeling, so he put his thoughts together for a moment and opened his mouth.

“My feelings right now are that the end of the difficult surgery is now in sight.”

As if his answer seemed quite plausible, the MC nodded his head satisfactorily.

“Ah… surgery, you look like a doctor after all. So let me ask you some dangerous questions here. Honestly, out of the other two, who do you think is more difficult to deal with? If you could pick just one competitor, what would it be?”

As the MC said, it was a dangerous question.

He glanced back at the remaining challengers. Coincidentally, two men standing in the same row were looking at him with similar expressions.

'competitor?'

He summarized his thoughts.

One was Lee Hyung-sik, a lawyer who claimed to be Son Na-yoon's fan club.The other was an academy lecturer Naburin, who said he was working at some academy.

‘At least if it’s a threat… a lawyer?’

No matter how much he thought about it, he never thought that he would lose to the children or the people he taught at the academy.

After organizing his thoughts, he opens his mouth with a calm expression.

"well. Wouldn't a lawyer be intimidating?

Then, with an expression that the MC was caught, he looked at the lawyer.

“The doctor said yes, but what about the lawyer?”

Then, lawyer Lee Hyung-sik nodded his head with a relaxed expression.

“I’m going too.”

At the lawyer Lee Hyung-sik's answer, the MC opens his mouth with a smile.

“Hey, somehow, this seems to have become a battle between literature and science. Please look forward to it, viewers. Soon, a fiery battle between Cho Min-soo, a cardiothoracic surgeon, and Lee Hyung-sik, a lawyer at a law firm, will begin.”

Now that I see it, it seems that the production team is openly trying to rival Lee Hyung-sik with the lawyer.

Jo Min-soo glanced at Kim Jun-young's expression. Joon-young doesn't know if he knows that he is alienated from the show. She wore a faint smile.

‘Are you a little short?’

A situation in which an ordinary person's expression hardens even if he is not openly angry.

However, the smile on Junyoung's lips was too natural to be contrived.

‘I have to laugh like that.’

He looked at Joon-young, who had taken a step away from people's attention, with compassionate eyes.

But at that moment. The production team sent a signal that the problem was ready. The MC who saw it naturally started the process.

“Yes, it is said that the preparation for the problem is finally over. I decided to skip the interview with the other person due to time constraints, and I will get into the question right away.”

Meanwhile, Jun-young's interview slips away.

“Now, finally, the long-awaited 11-step problem. Who will take the white supremacist's seat? Elite Thoracic Surgery? Or a lawyer at a large law firm. Or is it a popular streamer and academy instructor? An unpredictable fierce competition is starting soon.”

The MC, who was talking like a wandering drug dealer, looks at the screen and stretches out his arm. Then people's eyes turn to it.

“Now then, give me the 11th step.”

Let the MC shout. A problem pops up on the screen.

[Step 11. with atomic number 83 is called ‘changyeon(蒼鉛)’ in Korean. Which of the following is the name of , which also acts as a powerful antibacterial agent against Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastric and duodenal ulcers?]

1. Astatine

2. Bismuth

3. Iodine

What appeared on the screen was a medical problem.

The moment he saw it, Jo Min-soo thought.

‘I won.’
