"It's not just Yanzhou." Jiang Cheng continued: "In several other continents that did not broadcast this Qi Chuwen fight, some people also noticed the popularity of traffic. For example, Hanzhou and Weizhou, there are many anchors doing it Relevant video transfers, when this Qi Chuwen fight is officially over, I estimate that boss, your popularity around the world will increase..."

There is no way, Lin Zhibai's current record is too amazing!

All of his chess, calligraphy and painting skills have ascended to the altar and become the number one person at the top!

Even people who have never watched the game can't help but be moved when they hear Lin Zhibai's achievements, and they will immediately look up this person's information.

"It seems that my next road to stardom will be much easier than before the competition."

Lin Zhibai smiled, did not continue chatting with Jiang Cheng, and went to the third floor of the hotel for a buffet dinner.

The hotel was booked by the organizer of the Qi Chu Wen Dou. Now, in addition to the staff, there were participating delegations from Qi and Chu continents, so there wouldn't be too many people disturbing Lin Zhibai's meal.

But Li Bai came over.

The attitude was very respectful: "President Lin."

Although Li Bai was polite to Lin Zhibai in the past, he was definitely not respectful.

This change in attitude probably occurred in the past few days, which shows the impact Lin Zhibai had on the people around him after becoming a god in the field of chess, calligraphy and painting.

Let alone Li Bai.

Even Hu Wei and Shi Yun, the two leaders of the Qizhou literary circle, have become increasingly polite to Lin Zhibai recently.

"Um."

Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the couplet, we will fight side by side again."

Li Bai laughed and said, "I know your level, but I think I still have to remind you. I have told you before that Chuzhou's couplet team has a very powerful couplet master. He is a foreign aid from Zhaozhou named Xu Haiyun. , the level is slightly higher than mine, so be careful if you encounter one!"

"good."

Lin Zhibai nodded. In fact, in order to get the gold medal in all events, he had gone all out in almost every event so far, so there was no question of whether he should be more careful or not.

Subsequently.

Hu Wei and Shi Yun also came to see Lin Zhibai, "President Lin has something to tell you. Can you sell your calligraphy and painting works since the competition to Qizhou?"

"Excuse me."

Lin Zhibai said: "My grandfather wants to take away these works..."

Recently, there are always people who want to buy these works. Lin Zhibai was annoyed and simply used the old man as a shield.

Of course, this is also true. Lin Zhibai plans to send all the entries to the old man later. These things can only be exchanged for money in his hands.

But in the hands of Shinhwa Group Lin Zhaomu, it might be of higher value.

"That's it."

Hu Wei said with some regret: "Since the old man of your family wants it, it's not convenient for us to take it away from him."

This is a filial piety, and no one can say anything about it.

Shi Yun smiled and said: "I will let the public know tonight, so that the people in the province will always worry about it."

Maybe it's the influence of the gods.

Recently, too many people are interested in Lin Zhibai's works.

Not only Lin Zhibai himself was annoyed, but Hu Wei and Shi Yun were also constantly annoyed.

Lin Zhibai knows that rare things are valuable, so currently only "Lanting Preface" among his official calligraphy works has been bought.

Lin Zhibai would not mind selling some more works in the future.

But even if his music, chess, calligraphy and painting have become gods, the number of these works must not be large, so that the price can be high!

Finish talking about this.

Hu Wei and Shi Yun also talked about comparing couplets tomorrow.

"The rules of the couplet are different every year. We don't know what the gameplay will be this year. We won't announce it until tomorrow."

"there is always a solution to a problem."

As the number one couplet player in Qizhou, Li Bai is quite active in this event. He wants to win a championship!

"Stop drifting off."

Shi Yun smiled, but there was no reproach in his tone.

Just because Qizhou has won this battle between Qi and Chu, even if he loses all the next three events, Chuzhou will only be able to hold on to his dignity!

Yes.

None of the contestants in Qizhou felt any pressure, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

…

the next day.

Lin Zhibai and others went to the competition site.

Ten masters of couplets took to the stage under the arrangement.

at the same time.

Broadcasting in various continents has also begun.

The moment the live broadcast was connected, various messages appeared on the barrage channel:

"I heard that Lin Zhibai has gone crazy killing people. He is a god in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Can he still win today?"

"I feel fine!"

"I'll just say a few words, everyone will understand: Yan locks the willow in the pond!"

"Haha, Bai Di's eternal absolute!"

"We, the richest man, claim to be against the king of kings, against each other. Are we kidding you?"

"This is the first time I have heard of the King of Couplets. I only know that Xu Haiyun has always been known as the King of Couplets!"

"Li Bai also has the title of King of Couplets!"

"Good fellow, all the co-authors participating in the competition are kings in the field of pairs?"

"Yes, Lin Zhibai is the king of Qinzhou couplets, Li Bai is the king of Qizhou couplets, and Xu Haiyun is the king of Zhaozhou couplets!"

The audience knows a lot.

The situation of the contestants is also well known.

But today's atmosphere was indeed much more cheerful than the previous four days.

Probably because the value of pairs is not as high as that of chess, calligraphy and painting. It is a bit of an entertainment game.

Didn’t Master Xing also say that?

"This was just for entertainment, but you actually vomited dozens of taels of blood. I admire you..."

cough.

It's a drama.

Mainly due to Lin Zhibai's company in Qizhou, among the upcoming film project arrangements is "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

Back to business.

It was during the discussion between all parties that the host appeared on the stage and said with a serious expression:

"Hello friends on the scene and in front of the TV. Today we are competing in the couplet event. If you want to watch the couplet game well enough, you have to be right fast and well. So in the first round today, we will compete Speed, after a while a hundred couplets will appear on the big screen, and the four people with the lowest number will be eliminated..."

Cruel than imagined!

Four were eliminated in the first round!

The expressions of all the couplet masters suddenly became serious, and some of those with average reaction speed were already sweating profusely.

"The first round of competition lasts half an hour. Everyone has to write the second line on paper. If you can't write it out, you can skip it. Different lower lines correspond to which upper line. Just mark the serial number."

Finished talking about the rules.

The host said: "The competition has officially begun, please look at the big screen!"

Uh-huh!

The screen flashed, and a hundred first couplets appeared on it.

Lin Zhibai did not answer the question immediately, but took a quick glance at it and found that the difficulty was not too high.

So the competition in this round is really just speed and reaction.

In other words, the test is about basic skills.

With this in mind, Lin Zhibai began to write the second couplet.

…

Although the couplet competition is not as serious as the events of the first four days, it is undeniable that if the couplet wins the championship, it will also be a gold medal!

Yes.

When the host announced the start, the atmosphere still inevitably became tense.

Many spectators even subconsciously held their breath, instinctively feeling the players' nervousness.

"Look, everyone."

There are two presenters on site.

The male host smiled and said: "These hundred questions are easier as you go forward and more difficult as you go further back. Therefore, the ten participating teachers answered the first few couplets without any pressure. So far, we can still see There is no obvious difference..."

Swish, swish, swish.

on the stage.

The ten masters of couplets wrote vigorously, looking up at the screen from time to time.

Five minutes passed.

The male host said: "Teacher Lan Yun seemed to have encountered a problem. He skipped question 13 and answered question 14 directly, while our other nine teachers got all question 13 correct. "

Another five minutes passed.

The female host said: "Teacher Zhou Men is also stuck, stuck on question 20."

The male host smiled and said: "Less than a third of the time has passed, and the speed of the couplet masters has obviously slowed down. So far, only four people can still answer questions at a high speed."

The camera panned.

These four people are Lin Zhibai, Li Bai, Xu Haiyun and a player from Chuzhou named "Makino Feng".

The question seemed quite simple to these four people.

But when fifteen minutes passed, that was halfway through the first round.

Chuzhou player Makino Feng’s speed also slowed down.

"Teacher Makinofeng is having a hard time. It seems that the situation is similar to what everyone expected. The three strongest couplets in the couplet group are Lin Zhibai, Li Bai and Xu Haiyun."

The male host said.

The hostess nodded.

"I heard that Lin Zhibai is the first person in Qinzhou Couplet, Li Bai is the banner figure of Qizhou Couplet, and Xu Haiyun is the king of Zhaozhou Couplet. The three of them can definitely represent the highest level of Zhou Couplet behind them!"

"right."

The male host appropriately created the atmosphere, "I wonder which continent's king of couplets will become the only king today?"

The game continues.

Twenty minutes passed.

Li Bai finally encountered a problem.

Question 80.

I don’t know what’s going on with Lin Zhibai.

I don’t know what’s going on with Xu Haiyun.

Anyway, Li Bai felt that the difficulty of the questions had completely increased. It wasn't that he couldn't answer it, but his time was really limited.

It's like an exam.

If you can't solve a question, don't waste too much time and give up on the next question.

Li Bai could do the first seventy-nine questions, but he got stuck after the eighty questions. He was already very good, although he was a little reluctant...

"Teacher Li Bai skipped question 80!"

"Question 80 is really difficult. Teacher Xu Haiyun also paused for a minute before answering."

"Oh, Teacher Lin Zhibai has reached 90 questions!"

"The time is almost up. Does Lin Zhibai want to answer all 100 questions within the specified time!?"

Apparently.

The best performer in the first round is currently Lin Zhibai, and it may also be Lin Zhibai in the end!

…

Qinzhou.

"Ah ah ah ah, Bai Di's speed is far ahead!"

"Hahahaha, this is a rhythm of answering a hundred questions in half an hour!"

"I feel dizzy when I look at the following questions. Of the hundred questions, I can only answer three or five at most."

“Our Qinzhou couplets are the best in the world!”

"I just don't know what the accuracy of these 100 questions is."

…

Qizhou.

“The richest man’s couplets are so powerful!”

"Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. In the past, I only heard about the title of the richest man and the king of kings. But today I know that he is a real master!"

"Sky guest, you have forgotten. The richest man showed off his couplets so hard at the previous Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Festival that many people fainted. In addition, he often shows couplets on live broadcasts!"

"Compared with the speed of answering joint questions, I feel that this is the strongest point of the rich man!"

"Fast answering speed does not mean high accuracy. Let's see how the judges score later."

…

Chuzhou.

"Damn it! Is Lin Zhibai's speed so fast?"

"As I said a long time ago, his level of couplets is well-known. Lin Zhibai also has an eternal absolute, called Yansuo Pondliu. You can feel the intensity."

"Absolutely forever!"

"In the first round of this couplet, the competition is both speed and accuracy. I wonder how many of Lin Zhibai's 100 questions were wrong."

"If you answer so quickly, you must make many mistakes!"

…

Zhaozhou.

"Why is Lin Zhibai so fast!"

"The speed is so fast, can the accuracy be guaranteed?"

"I don't know what the accuracy rate is. I can only look at the progress of each person's answering questions. Which question was answered and which question was not answered?"

"So it's not certain who will win!"

"Yes, although Teacher Xu Haiyun's speed is a bit slow, I believe his accuracy must be extremely high!"

…

Zhongzhou.

"There's one minute left. The difficulty of the last few questions has increased. Lin Zhibai has slowed down!"

"I'll wipe it!"

"Lin Zhibai has finished answering all the questions!"

"Xu Haiyun was a little bit behind, answering 98 questions!"

"Li Bai is not bad either. He answered ninety-six questions. These three are quite a bit ahead!"

…

finally!

Time is up!

Lin Zhibai finished answering all 100 questions, leaving Xu Haiyun and Li Bai with very few questions left.

In comparison.

The other seven couplet masters mostly answered around 80 questions.

There were two weaker ones. One only answered more than fifty questions, and the other only answered more than sixty questions.

Of course, it's not necessarily that these two people are weak, it's also possible that they are just naive and take a long time to think, instead of saying they can't.

But in competitions, slow answering is a fatal flaw in itself.

therefore.

The four people with the fewest answers are almost destined to be eliminated!

Unless someone answers a lot of questions but has a disastrous accuracy rate, this probability is very small.

Now that you have answered, you are basically confident.

The male host said: "Next, let's ask the judges to give their scores. Please wait for fifteen minutes."

There are 10 judges in total for the Couplet Competition.

Each of the ten people took a copy of the second couplet to correct the answers.

After the corrections are completed, the ten people will exchange their opinions one by one to confirm that the corrections of the other judges are reasonable to ensure the greatest degree of fairness.

After all, there is no standard answer to couplets.

The same first line can sometimes produce countless different second lines.

After such a process, the host said:

"Next, I will announce the results of the first round. The first place in this round is Lin Zhibai. He answered a total of 100 questions and scored 98.6 points!"

Lin Zhibai raised his eyebrows.

It seems that one or two of the second lines were not answered completely enough, or they were not completely consistent, so some points were deducted.

Fortunately, it is still number one.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Zhibai smiled softly. At this time, it was enough to pretend to be an expert without saying anything.
