Facing everyone's gaze, Shang Xu raised his eyebrows.

"Keep it up, everyone!"

His tone was humble and polite, showing no sign of arrogance.

"Goodness, at least tell me the title."

Xu Jianian kept nagging and complaining.

"But you need to know how to answer the questions first."

Shang Xu retorted.

Xu Jianian was speechless: "Haha, okay, you're right."

He didn't argue.

However, Fu Jingnian's disdainful voice came from beside him.

"Whose dog is panting again?!"

Xu Jianian glanced at Fu Jingnian out of the corner of her eye, giving him a hint.

"Brother, you should really step up your game. You haven't contributed a single penny, all you do is spout useless nonsense. It's embarrassing."

Fu Jingnian said angrily.

"Oh? You mean your partner?"

Shang Xu spoke up to help Xu Jianian.

Shen Youyou, feeling subtly insulted, was both angry and annoyed.

Fu Jingnian hurriedly denied it: "That's not true!"

"Stop making a fuss."

Duan Xiaotang spoke up to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Currently, Shang Yufei has 8 points, Bing Tang Xue Li has 5 points, Qin Jia Lian Li has 4 points, and Shen Fu's group has 1 point."

"Oh wow, only 1 point? Keep it up! You need to practice more if you're bad at this."

Xu Jianian would not miss any opportunity to mock Fu Jingnian.

Fu Jingnian snorted dismissively, but his hands clenched into fists under the table.

"Topic 3 [Theoretical Knowledge] has multiple-choice questions and is quite difficult, but because there are a lot of questions, it is still worth two points per question. If a student in the first group fails to answer, other students can continue to try to answer."

Director Ma opened the book in his hand; it was a thin volume containing printed questions and answers, not a prop.

"Please listen to the question: What does 'commonplace' refer to?"

"A handsome guy, B a beautiful girl, C money, D a luminous pearl."

This question stumped everyone, and they all looked troubled.

However, some people were the first to be affected.

"Bang—."

Xu Jianian pressed the buzzer: "C. Money!"

He felt this answer was more reliable.

Li Yan nodded; he felt it was either money or a luminous pearl.

At this moment, he and Duan Xiaotang were secretly preparing their hands, waiting to see if Xu Jianian would answer correctly.

Director Ma pointed to Xu Jianian, who was looking on with anticipation, with his right hand: "Congratulations, Xu Jianian..."

Xu Jianian smiled, ready to have some fun.

Director Ma quickly poured cold water on the situation: "Congratulations, Xu Jianian, for answering incorrectly!"

Xu Jianian was petrified: "What!?"

"Bang--."

The eagerly anticipating answer came quickly from the rock sugar pear.

Duan Xiaotang: "A luminous pearl!"

Before Director Ma could even speak, the sound system played an error message indicating an incorrect answer.

Xu Jianian held the bitter melon juice in her hand, hesitating for a long time before daring not to take a sip: "Great, now someone's drinking with me!"

"Who wants to drink with you?"

Duan Xiaotang closed her eyes and downed the bitter melon juice in one gulp.

Even though she tried her best to control her facial expressions, the stimulation on her taste buds made it impossible for her to remain calm.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Youyou pressed the buzzer.

She didn't dare to choose between the two options easily, so she nudged Fu Jingnian with her shoulder.

Fu Jingnian's furrowed brows remained unchanged: "B, right??"

He was just guessing; B is a beautiful woman.

Sound effect plays [Correct answer].

Li Yan helplessly shrugged.

Duan Xiaotang sighed helplessly and walked away with one hand, saying, "666."

"Good heavens, is it that outrageous??"

Xu Jianian still has lingering effects of the bitter melon juice on her face.

"You're lucky you guessed right!!"

[Netizen "Pouring Oil": Damn it, he guessed right, Fu is going to start his bullying again.]

"Who said I guessed? Who could guess that accurately? You're just jealous. Drink more bitter melon juice to sharpen your brain!"

Just as everyone predicted, Fu Jingnian's lips curled up to the sky, and his smug expression made everyone's teeth itch.

"Then tell me what you mean? Don't you know why it's B?"

Xia Yu began to ask questions, and the others nodded in agreement.

Fu Jingnian was caught in a dilemma and began to panic.

"What's there to explain? I saw it in a book before, but I've forgotten it. After all, I read a lot; I've read half the books in the library!"

Fu Jingnian's eyes darted around.

Director Ma started drinking his iced Americano again: "If anyone can explain what this means and why they chose B, I'll give their group two extra points."

Mu Qing raised her hand, speculating based on the words themselves: "Sikong must be a man who enjoys appreciating dance, so he's seen all sorts of beautiful women?"

"More or less, is there a more accurate one?"

Mu Qing wondered why Director Ma needed to be so precise.

At this moment, Shang Xu just spoke up: "Sikongjianguan is an allusion. When Liu Yuxi was demoted, he attended a banquet at the home of Li Sikong. The banquet was full of singing girls. Li Sikong was used to this. Liu Yuxi was filled with emotion. Later generations used this to describe something that is common and not novel."

Wow!

Xia Yu let out a sigh.

How did he manage to deliver such a long passage so fluently?

[Netizens were surprised: Frog Fun, what he said is exactly what I found online, I'm a genius!]

"By the way, add two points for Shang Yufei and Qin Jiaxue."

"So you know how to do that, huh? Why don't you just grab it?"

Li Yan asked.

"That's right!"

"Because we can't compete with them."

Shang Xu put on a weak and submissive appearance.

"real or fake??"

Duan Xiaotang asked Xia Yu.

Xia Yu shook her head: "I don't know, that's just how he is, a bit crazy."

Xu Jianian went to Xia Yu's table like a search dog.

"Did you hide a phone underneath?!"

He looked left and right, up and down.

With his butt right in front of the camera, netizens exclaimed: "Wow!"

[Carnival: Do not look at what is improper! Do not look at what is improper!!]

"Have you finished reading?"

Xia Yu pulled him out from under the table.

Xu Jianian then sat back down, still somewhat skeptical: "This guy's got some skills."

"Frog Fun, the first question is this difficult."

Li Yan leaned on the table, then straightened his back with a stubborn determination.

"I already told you it was difficult."

Director Ma adjusted his glasses, clearly satisfied with the topic.

"For the second question, please listen carefully and think it over before answering."

Everyone pricked up their ears and focused their attention, while also preparing to unleash their power.

What is the first of the Thirty-Six Stratagems?

"To deceive the heavens and cross the sea, to kill with a borrowed knife, to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, and to flee is the best strategy."

First, we can rule out the "running away" strategy, because the saying "running away is the best of the thirty-six stratagems" is easy to remember.

"What? What!?"

As usual, Xu Jianian just stood there holding his head and asking questions.

"Bang--."

Shang Yufei and Bing Tang Xue Li pressed the buzzer almost simultaneously.

The last one to turn red was Shang Yufeiwan.

Xia Yu also went through the Thirty-Six Stratagems in his mind: "A. Deceive the heavens and cross the sea."

Director Ma brought over a tall sign from the props department, with a red checkmark on one side and a red cross on the other. He turned the side with the red checkmark facing Xia Yu.

"Correct answer."

"really not bad."

Shang Xu smiled broadly and offered encouragement anytime, anywhere.

"Ahhh... so close!"

Duan Xiaotang burst into tears, clutching her head.

"It's okay, we'll keep trying."

Li Yan patted her optimistically.

“ook, come here.”

"Director Ma has a question, e!"

Duan Xiaotang called out to Director Ma.

"The third question, referring to the 'Little Li and Du' in literary history, has no answer choices."
