Not long after.
Wang Chao and the scholar came to the Qinhuai River. This area was prosperous and developed, with scholars and literati gathering. The pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River were especially eye-catching. At night, the boats on the river were all decorated with colorful lights, and the sound of orioles and swallows lingered in their ears.
Not far away, Ling stood a magnificent pavilion that was four stories tall. Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and lanterns hung high up. It was bright and magnificent. Before Wang Chao even got close, he saw a crowd of people bustling about. A few scholars were gathered in front of the pavilion, greeting each other...
"Eh? Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, you're here too?"
"Of course. With Teacher Li here tonight, even if you didn't pass the Couplet Competition, it's still great to come and see this world-famous beauty.”
"Brother Zhao, with your literary talent, you will definitely be able to enter the Wonder Fairy Lane. You might even be able to get the first prize and enter the boudoir of Master Li. Haha…"
"That's going to be difficult. In this Couplet Competition, only the person who gets first place can see Li Shishi. Look at how many people have come to participate in this competition.”
"Brother Zhao, don't be so humble."
The few people in front of them were talking as they squeezed in front of the entrance of Wonder Immortal Lane. Wang Chao and the scholar were watching from behind. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them. Someone shouted,"The Couplet Competition has begun, the Couplet Competition has begun. There are only thirty questions for the entrance!”
"What is it? Only 30 questions?"
"How is this enough?"
"Look, look, there are more than a hundred people in front of us! How could thirty questions be enough? Wouldn't that mean that most people wouldn't be able to enter Wonder Immortal Lane? It's too cruel!"
"Get out of the way, quickly get out of the way. Let me answer the first question.”
“……”
When the scholars in front heard that there were only 30 questions, they instantly became chaotic and rushed forward.、
Even the scholar beside Wang Chao said anxiously to Wang Chao,""Brother, Wonder Immortal Lane is right in front of us. As for whether you can enter or not, it will depend on your strength. I will take my leave first.”
After saying that, she squeezed forward anxiously.
F * ck!
It was really crazy.
Wang Chao shook his head and looked at the crowd that was almost squeezed into a meat patty. He thought to himself," Just the NPCs in the game are already so competitive. What if there are players?"
He turned around and saw one or two players walking over curiously.
At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. The first to strike was the strongest, and the last to strike was the victim. He directly reached out and felt a warm flow in his hand. He easily pushed the person in front of him away and squeezed in.
What was going on?
Could it be the effect of the 10 points of strength?
Or were these scholars too weak?
Wang Chao didn't understand?
He didn't have time to think about it. After squeezing in, he saw a few servant girls dressed in traditional Chinese clothing placing rows of question boards around him. At the same time, they also set up the rules of the couplet competition.
(1) Contestant, please answer the questions according to the standard.
(2) Only after the judges have passed the assessment will it be considered a pass.
[3. There are only 30 questions, and only 30 people can enter the Wonder Fairy Lane.]
"As expected, there are only 30 questions!"
"Quick, quick, quick, hurry up and answer the questions!”
"This question is mine!"
The scholars fought even more frantically, and the few people beside Wang Chao glared at him. They couldn't help but feel angry when they saw the newbie's tattered clothes given by the system. However, they couldn't squeeze Wang Chao, so they said sarcastically,"Tonight, Wonder Fairy Lane is inviting all the great academies. This is the annual Couplet Competition organized by the gifted scholar Liu. I see that you are dressed in such shabby clothes and look like a little boy. You dare to come to this Couplet Competition and embarrass yourself?”
"Don't overestimate yourself!"
"Little servant boy, what a joke!"
……
As the few of them conversed, very quickly, more than half of the thirty questions were answered, leaving only some strange questions. Wang Chao could not be bothered to care about the few people he had squeezed out. He stepped forward and stood in front of a question board. On the question board, he saw that…
"First half: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.”
When the people around them saw this, they were instantly dumbfounded!
"What…what kind of question is this?"
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven? What do you mean?"
"How should we deal with this?"
……
The scholars surrounding this question board all had a headache. Some winked, some scratched their heads, and some even bit their nails. All of them racked their brains but couldn't figure out that this series of numbers was actually a couplet?
This was simply a scam!
Many people gave up immediately, but there were still some people who were thinking hard. Soon, someone shouted,"I got it, I got it.”
"What?"
"Who matched it?"
"That's impossible. Even Zhao Shijie from White Deer Academy couldn't match it, who could?”
Everyone looked at the person who made the sound and saw a scholar with pimples all over his face saying proudly,"That's definitely the case. The second half should be seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!”
"Puchi!"
"Clang!"
The surrounding people were instantly shocked to the ground, and some even laughed until they spat out tea.
"Nonsense!"
"This second half is simply child's play!"
"It can't be right!"
As everyone expected, the judge in charge of judging the questions shook his head and announced that the second half of the couplet had failed.
The pimpled scholar smiled awkwardly and retreated.
Near the question board, a white-robed scholar holding an origami fan laughed as he watched the farce in front of him. A few people beside him also laughed…
"Like I said, if even a genius like Brother Zhao couldn't match a couplet, who could?”
"I'm afraid no one can solve this pair tonight.”
Zhao Shijie, who was addressed as Brother Zhao, shook his origami fan and pretended to be carefree."Forget it, forget it. Brothers, we've already answered the other questions. Let's enter Wonder Immortal Lane first.”
"Of course…"
Before the reply ended, someone near the board suddenly shouted," Someone is going to match this couplet again!”
"It's a servant in shabby clothes!"
