Chapter 23 - Chapter_22_Quiz of Knowledge

As Tang Tang continued to explain the proceedings of the show to the teams and the 'audience', she walked up to the wheel of games placed in the middle of the stage and beside it, was a big board which had two columns in it. 

 

"Here, we have the wheel of the game. On this wheel, we have 5 games. The representatives of each group are to compete in these games and earn points for their teams."

 

The guests nodded.

 

Then she placed her hand on the board and added. 

 

"We will be recording the points gained by each team in each game. The team with more points will be declared the winner will given the right to choose."

 

Getting done with the explanation; she turned to the wheel once again.

 

"Now, let us see what our first game would be…" Saying that the host turned the wheel. 

 

The wheel first turned with great speed before it decelerated and soon came to a stop. 

 

"The first game we have is…."

 

The host pulled off the sticker of the section which landed on the arrow and revealed the name of the game.

 

[Quiz of Knowledge]

 

"So…. The first game we will be having is a quiz round" TangTang read out.

 

"That is not a game." Said one of Derrick.

 

"Yeah!" Bryson agreed with the comedian. 

 

"I barely passed my examination in school. Why do you think I became an esports player…" The 21-year-old complained. 

 

"Because I was bad at my studies."

 

Le Yang and Na Yun were also in the same state. Because they were idols and had little time to focus on their studies, their marks in the exams were also barely passable. 

 

But they knew that the production team would not come up with tough questions. After all, they were looking for some ways to challenge the guest. Not humiliate them. 

 

"Now now…. Everyone. Let me explain the rules of the game first before you complain." Tang Tang calmed the anxious guests.

 

"…" 

 

The guests, including Viviana, gave her their full attention this time. 

 

"As I was saying…. The first game we have is a game of knowledge. Which is a great warmup for the rest of the games coming after this."

 

As she said that, the staff brought up a table and two chairs on the stage. They place the table on the middle of the stage but put the chairs on the two sides of the platform separately. One on the left and the other on the right.

 

"For this game, we require a representation of each of the teams. Teams, please choose your players."

 

The two teams began to discuss amongst themselves, who would be the perfect person to send off.

 

"Who do you think we should send there?" Tucker Lee asked his teammates.

 

"Since this is a quiz, we should send someone who is fresh out of school."

 

"I agree with that."

 

"So, it is between Lyra and Na Yun."

 

"What about Sister Vivi?" Lyra brought Viviana to the conversation. 

 

"I'm not good at quizzes." The actress gave a humble reply.

 

But the teammates thought that she was just covering up her lack of education. 

 

"I… I'm also not good with quiz." Na Yun also admitted his lack of intellect in this matter. 

 

"I think Lyra is perfect for this. I've heard you got admitted to L-University."

 

"Yes." 

 

Lyra answered pridefully. L-University was amongst the 10 top universities of the Eastern Nation. Only 2% of the applicants get admitted to this university.

 

"Then it's confirmed. Lyra will go for this round." Tucker Lee said in affirmation. 

 

On the Blue team's side, they were discussing the same topic like the Red team. They too came up with two contestants_ Le Yang and Chun Hua. And Le Yang, like his teammate Na Yun, voiced his lack of confidence in this field. Leaving Chun Hua as the only option. 

 

Soon the host called out the two players of the two teams to the table. 

 

"Now… Please select a partner from your team."

 

Tang Tang asked the two players.

 

"Blue team?" She asked Chun Hua. "Whom do you choose?"

 

"I…." The chess player thought for a while before she made her decision. "Brother Derick."

 

Chun Hua called out to Derrick who came up to the middle of the stage where they stood.

 

"Lyra?" Tang Tang then turned to the Red team's representative.

 

"I'll ask Sister Vivi… If you doesn't mind."

 

The girl gave Viviana a timid look as if she was expecting the other to snap at her.

 

Viviana just stared at her before she too joined them on the stage. As she walked up to them, she was wondering what plan Lyra was cooking. 

 

After all she would not be willing to give her the chance to get more screen time. Unless it was something that would make her lose her face. Or make people hate her more than they already hate her.

 

But before she could come up with the reason, she was pulled out from her train of thoughts by the host.

 

"Now, let's explain the rules of this quiz." Tang Tang pulled in everyone's attention.

 

"In this game, the players will be asked a question. To answer the question, the player has to first press the bell on the table before giving the answer."

 

She looked at the two players and added.

 

"There is only one bell on the table. Both of you have to be quick to be first to press the bell. Even if you know the answer but did not get to press the bell faster than your opponent, you'll not be given the chance to answer. Also, if you press the bell and do not give the right answer, the chance will be given to the opposite team."

 

Both Lyra and Chun Hua nodded.

 

"Now. Let us talk about the points. For every correct answer one gives, the person will be given a point. In total, there are ten questions. So, both the teams have a chance to gain 10 points if their players get to answer all of the ten answers correctly. In case, both the teams fail to give the correct answer of the question, then both of the teams will not be given any points."

 

The guests nodded, understanding the rules of the game. But the host had a surprise for them. 

 

"Also…. Along with the prize, we also have punishment."
