Chapter 167 - 167: Do You Feel Better?

Clarence started hosting the Super Quiz from last season. Because of his handsome appearance and humor, he had won the support of many fans. Sophia had seen this person on a segment of video before.

When Clarence finished speaking, he bowed down to thank the audience, who then applauded him. After that, Clarence picked up the microphone and said, "This is the first episode of the tenth season of Super Quiz. It's not easy to get here. Here I want to thank you all for your support."

After a lot of opening remarks, he said, "Actually, when the director asked me to host the show this time, I tried to refuse. Why? Because on this stage, I always felt that I am stupid. Fortunately, I'm not alone. Now let's have our honored guest, the diva, Nicole."

The door behind him opened again, and a pretty girl slowly came out. There was a round of applause, and a lot of people started screaming.

Sophia didn't follow stars, so she didn't know Nicole. However, besides her, aunt Mcdowell and Lucas couldn't help standing up and screaming.

Lucas was very excited. He held Sophia's hands and shouted, "You know, she played Mary. I have to ask Molly to get her signature."

"Mary?" Sophia asked.

Hearing her asking, Lucas was surprised, "You don't know that? Allure, the TV series, airs every night. The king loves Mary. Mary loves the count. While the queen was the first love of the count, and she loves the general… Now the count is kind of into Mary because she is good at dance. Mary will end up with the count, I bet. Because the count is the most handsome one."

Sophia sighed.

The pupils did know a lot.

Clarence and Nicole had some interactions. They made some witty remarks to enliven the atmosphere. Then Nicole sat on the guest.

After that, Clarence showed a look of helplessness. "Well, who is going to crush my IQ today? Let's have the eight contestants today. Give them a round of applause."

The audience thundered, the music sounded, and the lights were focused on the gate. As the door opened, eight contestants walked out in turn and waved to the audience.

Molly was the second one to come out. She looked kind of nervous. Lucas shouted, "Come on, sister!"

The one after her was Charles.

His appearance was quite good among the male contestants. Otherwise, the previous Sophia would not be so infatuated with him. When he came out, many female audiences applauded.

Nina was very excited. She shouted to the one next to her, "My boyfriend! He's my boyfriend."

When the contestants sat on their seats, Clarence came over and asked them to introduce themselves one by one.

Contestant number one was a young man. He cleared his throat and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Gary, a graduate student at Lucien University, and this is my second year."

He didn't talk much. After a brief introduction to himself, he stopped talking.

Clarence walked up to him, smiled, and said, "What a coincidence! I graduated from Lucien University, too. Nice to meet you, brother."

Gary laughed, "So, guide me, please."

Clarence also laughed, "Sorry, I don't know the way."

The audience burst into laughter at once.

Contestant number two was Molly. She had already come down. She stood up and said, "Hi, I'm Molly. I'm studying at Colin High School. This is my third year."

Clarence asked her, "Molly is the youngest contestant at this stage. Are you nervous?" 

"Yeah," Molly answered.

Clarence smiled, "Don't worry. Just relax. Colin is a good school. They have many excellent graduates every year. I wonder if there are any of your seniors here."

As soon as he finished, Charles raised his hand. "I also graduated from Colin."

Clarence said, "What a coincidence! Look, your upperclassman is here with you. Do you feel better?"

Molly glanced at Charles, "Not at all."

There was another burst of laughter from the audience.

Clarence laughed, "Molly is kidding. It seems like she's not nervous anymore. Okay, let's come to contestant number three."

Charles said, "Hello, everybody. I'm Charles. I'm from Glinton."

Clarence did some more interaction and then asked the following contestants to introduce themselves in turn. After interacting with each contestant, the game officially began.

There were four rounds, and two contestants would be out each round. The winner would be in the fourth round.

The first round was about the required questions. The right answer meant one point, while the wrong answer meant no score. In the end, the two with the least points would be eliminated.

The questions were simple; for example, the first one was "What are Shakespeare's four tragedies?" It was easy to answer.

Of course, the questions were not only about literature but about all subjects. The second question was about physics. A picture showed on the screen. The contestant had to tell the law of physics according to the picture. While the third question was about the common sense of life, like, what can be done to reduce mosquito bites?

After twenty questions, Molly scored fifteen points, ranking second.

Charles got the first place with seventeen points.

The two lowest-scoring players scored ten and eleven points, respectively, and were eliminated in this round.

From the second round, every player got the right to ask for help. Each had three chances. There were three ways. One was to ask for help from a live audience, and one was to call a friend for help, the last one was to choose "trust the majority" and let the audience vote for the answer. Of course, the last one only applied to multiple-choice questions.

In the second round, players answered questions in turn. Still, the right answer meant one point, and the wrong answer meant no score. But if the player gave a wrong answer, he or she could not continue to answer the next question.

The questions became more difficult, and some players began to ask for help. There were three ways, but for most players, there was no help.

The first way was to ask for help from the audience. But the contestant could not designate someone. Instead, the contestant should throw a small ball into the audience; whoever got it would answer the question. It was random. It was difficult to hit the designated person.. In the game, one contestant threw the ball to a pupil, who was more confused than he was.
