Chapter 237 Scoring
Chapter 237. Scoring
Two hours later, the game came to an end, and most of the children from both sides returned to the hall.

Except for two people, one is Ren Ping, and the other is the young woman who first reminded him of the hidden rules. Her name is Cui Siyi. Judging from her name, she should be Cui Simin's older sister or younger sister.

The schedule is not interrupted because this is just the identification phase, and there will be trading and scoring afterwards.

According to the rules, all contestants are free to trade with others after panning for antiques, and the final scoring will only be entered after the transaction is completed.

Under today's circumstances, it is natural for the children of both sides to develop independently.

Soon, the transaction process was completed, and scoring began. Because of the arduous task, Lu Ziliang transferred the dozen or so people from the headquarters of the Spring and Autumn League to come over, each with the same thin booklet.

I was watching with Cui Hao, Rong Qiancheng and the others.

A total of [-] groups of contestants, a total of nearly [-] antiques were placed on the table. It was inevitable to be a mess at first, and sometimes it was difficult for everyone present to distinguish, so they had to find the corresponding number of each item.

But gradually, the situation began to become clearer. Although the children of the nine families had chosen a variety of things, they seemed disorganized at first glance.

On the contrary, the three provinces and one side are much more organized, and most of the items chosen by the disciples are only concentrated in one or two major categories, such as five pieces of porcelain, or five pieces of jade, etc.

Although Rong Qiancheng and others could see the difference clearly, they were confused for a moment and thought that the disciples of Sansheng really specialized in the main subject and did not involve other categories.

It wasn't until halfway through the scoring that a "+0" mark was suddenly added to the scoring list of one of the children from the three provinces, and they were shocked:
"Mr. Lu, what does this mean?"

Lu Ziliang walked over and took a look at the disciple's belongings, and saw five pieces of porcelain.

But it is not ordinary porcelain, but a blue and white porcelain brush washer, a brush bed imitating Song Jun kiln, a shallow Longquan kiln porcelain inkstone, a rabbit-shaped white porcelain paperweight, and a black gold glazed armrest about a foot long. .

These five things are not only porcelain, but also the study utensils of ancient literati, also known as study toys.

He checked the number marks on the scorebook again, as if confirming something.

After confirming that it was correct, he nodded: "This is the first set of hidden rules that appeared in this points competition. Congratulations to this brother, you can get an extra [-]% points."

As soon as the words fell, the boy's expression lifted, and he looked at the crowd with complacency, obviously very proud.

Rong Qiancheng and others were even more surprised: "Hidden rules? What is that?"

"It's a traditional way of scoring competitions. I don't even know about these, but I'm so embarrassed to fight for a place in the headquarters. It's ridiculous!"

Wang Jiandao, who had not spoken for a long time, said coldly.

Rong Qiancheng and the others had no time to pay attention to his sarcasm at this time, they still looked at Lu Ziliang.

The latter nodded: "That's right, this is indeed a tradition handed down from previous Capital Competitions. In addition to examining the contestants' ability to identify and estimate prices, certain combinations of collections that have been reserved in advance will be marked,"

"Once there are players gathered, they will get extra points, which is also a deeper test for the players,"

"Take the five pieces of porcelain chosen by this brother as an example: a brush washer, a pen bed, an inkstone, a paperweight and an arm rest. All five items are for the study."

"Because it is more difficult to gather them together on the field, it requires deeper vision and knowledge, so it can be successfully triggered. If any one of them is missing, it will not count."

When I said this, the final score of that child had been determined. The original score of the five pieces of porcelain was 40 points, plus a bonus of 0, a total of 1 points.

Although there is still a little distance from the threshold of 50 points, it is considered a good score.

Sure enough, all the people in the three provinces saw this with smiles on their faces, and kept praising the boy, while looking over with sarcasm in their eyes, as if everything was as they had expected.

Rong Qiancheng and the others looked at each other a few times. Lu Ziliang had already made it very clear just now that the so-called hidden rules are the tradition of the Capital Competition. With their knowledge, it is easy to understand.

But the problem is, they didn't know it beforehand, and Lu Ziliang never revealed it.

On the other hand, looking at the expressions of those people in Sanxing, they were clearly prepared. Isn't this too unfair?

"Mr. Lu, this seems a little unfair. My disciples didn't know that there was such a hidden rule in advance."

It was a matter of final outcome, and Rong Qiancheng had no choice but to lower his face to intercede.

Lu Ziliang really wanted to help them, but he could only shake his head helplessly:

"President Rong, forgive me, I did not notify you in advance, but I also did not notify Mr. Cui and the others, so it is not unfair."

"In fact, according to the regulations of the Capital Competition, there is no precedent for informing the contestants that there are hidden rules before the competition. Of course, they will not clearly explain what kind of rules they are. Everything depends on personal understanding."

"After all, this is not a formal competition, it is just a selection. After today, my disciples will naturally know these rules, can you..."

"Sorry, there's nothing I can do."

Lu Ziliang shook his head, directly interrupting Rong Qiancheng's request.

Seeing this, Wang Jiandao sneered a few more times: "Mr. Rong still thinks that he can get the competition quota from the headquarters?"

Rong Qiancheng couldn't bear it any longer, and turned his head suddenly:

"Mr. Wang! I respect you as a member of the Provincial League. From just now until now, you have not dared to lose your courtesy, but you have provoked again and again. What is it for? They really gave you such a How good is it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! There's no such thing!"

"Hmph! Everyone knows it well, otherwise, with Mr. Wang as a man, even if he hates me Nanling City League, he wouldn't do this kind of interest-free business!"

One word pierced Wang Jiandao's face, and everyone in the Nine Families felt relieved.

Wang Jiandao blushed, thinking that this matter was not a secret, but since Lu Ziliang was here, it must not be revealed.

After a pause, the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "You don't need to ramble here, the rules are the rules. Mr. Lu is selected according to the competition system set by the headquarters, can you still change it?"

"If you want to blame, blame your disciples for not living up to expectations. You old fellows haven't done enough homework. Otherwise, how could the disciples of the three provinces know that there are hidden rules?"

As soon as the words fell, Cui Hao on the side also sneered:

"That's right! The old man might as well say it clearly. My disciples from the three provinces have practiced dozens of times at least in today's points competition, in order to be familiar with the road and not suffer in the official capital competition."

"It's true to know that there are hidden rules in advance, but what's wrong with it? Is it because we are too well prepared?"

"Speaking of which, it's already this time. Don't you think it's ridiculous that Mr. Rong doesn't reflect on whether he has seriously prepared for the competition, but instead comes to cause trouble for us?"

The implication is that just because they are unprepared for the Capital Competition, the Nine Families are not worthy of the participation quota. On the contrary, the three provinces, if possible, have the ability to nominate another person to participate.

Seeing that Lu Ziliang originally intended to stand on their side, Rong Qiancheng seemed to be moved after hearing this, and his heart sank.

Looking back, I saw that although most of my disciples had help from Ren Ping, their total points were only around 30, with few exceeding 40.

On the other hand, the children of the three provinces, apart from the five study items just now, there are at least three or four other people who have also assembled the collection combination. After the total points, there will be a bonus. In this way, the gap between the two sides will be even greater. good?
"Uncle Rong, don't worry, we also have collection combinations here."

Seeing Rong Qiancheng's expression about to be disheartened, Qi Xiaoshuang who was at the side suddenly said.

Rong Qiancheng and others were stunned when they heard this: "Really? Who is it? Ren Ping?"

"By the way, why did you come back first?"

Turning his head to look at Ren Ping who was still on the field, Qi Heng, Su Minghan and the others were also at a loss, wondering if you and Su Rui were on his team?Why did you come back first?

Qi Xiaoshuang smiled wryly, thinking that the two of them were driven back by Ren Ping just now, and the purpose was to help the Nine Masters stabilize their position.

But it was useless to say this at this time. He immediately pointed at Rong Yi and Qi Wulei beside him:

"It's Brother Rong and Senior Brother Rong. They have a group in their hands."
