Facing Fang Hong's kind reminder, Lin Yi said, "Thank you for the reminder."

He was not in a hurry because the first round of questions did not give him a high score. There were several more difficult rounds of questions, a total of 16 questions, and the score of each round would increase as the difficulty of the questions increased.

When the fourth ingredient was served, Lin Yi took a glimpse and saw a green bitter gourd. Lin Yi sighed that there was finally a normal food that people on earth actually ate.

Everyone touched and tasted the food for a while. Fang Hong, who was beside Lin Yi, even picked up the bitter melon in front of her and took a bite. In an instant, her face wrinkled because of the bitter taste in her mouth.

Some viewers who watched the show also tried the flavors in real life, and they all complained bitterly.

Lin Yi didn't like bitter melon when he was on Earth. At this moment, he was not prepared to taste it or answer the first round of questions, so he just sat in his seat without moving.

"Is it true that Lin Yi doesn't understand anything and therefore doesn't dare to answer?"

"It's normal for a country bumpkin from a remote place like Zhenqi Star to not understand these things."

After cutting a small piece of bitter melon with a knife and fork and touching it to her lips, Song Shu answered this question slowly.

The first round ended here, and the host intelligent computer began to calculate the points earned by each person. Fang Hong had ten points, Xi Qingyu had ten points, Song Shu had twenty points, and Lin Yi had zero points.

They went straight to the second round. The score for the second round was five points higher than the first round, so each question was worth fifteen points. Song Shu and Xi Qingyu answered the three questions equally. Lin Yi finally started to answer the questions in this round, but he hesitated for a while before giving the answer: "I guess it is a."

When Song Shu heard the word "guess", a slight smile appeared on her face. After the system announced that Lin Yi's answer was correct, she thought that Lin Yi had just guessed right and did not take it seriously.

The difficulty of the second round of questions has increased a lot. At least it is no longer a simple true or false judgment question, but a multiple-choice question. Fang Hong, who was beside Lin Yi, was already embarrassed when answering, but at least she guessed the right answer.

After the second round of questions, Lin Yi scored 15 points, Fang Hong scored 25 points, Xi Qingyu scored 25 points, and Song Shu scored 35 points.

These scores were directly displayed on the display screen opposite the guests in a bar graph. Lin Yi's score was particularly short and eye-catching. Xi Qingyu and Song Shu, who were sitting opposite him, looked determined to win.

When the test entered the third round, the difficulty increased. Although it was still multiple-choice questions, the content was very obscure and rare.

Xi Qingyu chose to abstain, but Song Shu couldn't say such things because she had to maintain her character, so she could only answer two questions, one right and one wrong. Not surprisingly, Fang Hong gave the wrong answer.

When the last question of this round came out, the host's intelligent brain looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi just pressed the answer button: "I guess it's C."

Song Shu heard the word "guess" again from the opposite side, and this time she couldn't help but chuckle.

Before he finished laughing, the host's intelligent brain had already made a judgment: "The answer is correct."

Song Shu's smile froze for a moment. Lin Yi looked into her eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and showed her a gentle and harmless smile, which made Song Shu very annoyed. But the camera was facing her, so not only could she not get angry, she had to smile back at Lin Yi. Secretly, her nails were almost pinching her palms.

Each question in this round is worth 20 points. At the end of the round, Lin Yi has 35 points, Fang Hong has 35 points, Xi Qingyu has 35 points, and Song Shu has 55 points.

"The score for the last round of questions will be raised to 25 points per question, but the difficulty will increase accordingly, and the knowledge involved may be more extensive, so the guests can ask for help from outside the venue and let their friends or relatives answer the question, but there is only one chance to do so, and if the person being helped cannot answer the question, ten points will be deducted. If the person who answers the question fails to answer the question, the question will be passed to the next guest. The answer can be brief, but if you can't say anything at all, ten points will be deducted. If the answer is not comprehensive, the score will be given at the discretion of the guest."

Fang Hong couldn't help but laugh and beg for mercy when she heard this: "Oh my god, I'm done. It looks like all my points will be deducted."

Xi Qingyu also laughed and said, "Who said no? I will definitely lose points in this round. It seems that among our four guests, only Song Shu can survive this round."

Song Shu showed a decent smile on her face.

By now the show has progressed, the audience outside the venue has also become involved and can't wait for the host's intelligent brain to ask questions, while at the same time being trembling with fear at the way the questions are answered.

"This show gives me the same stressful feeling as taking an exam. Damn... It reminds me of the mecha operation class I failed last semester."

This round was so difficult that it made people's scalps numb. Both Fang Hong and Xi Qingyu failed to answer the questions completely. However, both of them used off-site help. However, they only said a few vague words while guessing, and the system gave them five points each.

When it was Song Shu's turn, she didn't answer smoothly either. She stuttered and didn't get any points, but she didn't get any points deducted.

In the end, there was only one question left, and it undoubtedly turned to Lin Yi.

Since Lin Yi had only guessed two questions before, no one had high expectations for him. Even the host's intelligent computer looked at Lin Yi with a helpless expression.

Even Song Shu and Xi Qingyu looked at Lin Yi with playful eyes, probably waiting for Lin Yi to make a fool of himself and eliminate himself.

Before the host asked questions, Xi Qingyu said to Lin Yi in a comforting tone, "Xiao Yi, if you can't answer, don't force yourself or put too much pressure on yourself. We all understand your situation."

Sarcastic.

Lin Yi lazily propped up his chin and looked at him, and asked, "What do you know?"

Xi Qingyu faced the camera and explained to the audience watching the show: "Xiaoyi only studied at the Omega School on Zhenqi Star before. As everyone knows, the content taught in the Omega School may be a little biased. He didn't receive the correct teaching, so I think it's understandable that he doesn't know a lot of common sense. But appearing on the show is part of the signed process, I hope everyone can forgive me."

The audience outside the camera was immediately carried away by Xi Qingyu's rhythm and started to complain.

"You haven't received proper instruction, otherwise how could you be so cruel as to harm others?"

"I'm a huge fan of Xi Qingyu and Song Shu. They both act so gentle. They're the epitome of omega!"

Because of this conversation, even the host AI turned to Lin Yi and asked him: "Lin Yi, do you want to continue answering questions?"

"Well, I want to answer." Lin Yi nodded.

The host intelligent computer therefore announced the last question. After hearing the question, although Song Shu and the others still kept a polite smile on their faces, they felt relieved in their hearts. Fortunately, this kind of question was left for the last, otherwise she would have to face the situation of being speechless. Now, Lin Yi had to make the mistake alone.

Most of the audience didn't even understand what the question was and were all confused.

Lin Yi did not speak either, and seemed to be thinking. He paused for about thirty seconds. When everyone was thinking about what excuse Lin Yi would use to extricate himself, Lin Yi suddenly spoke.

"This issue was touched upon in the first issue of the June issue of the journal Earth and Us, which is affiliated with the Institute of Scientific Research, ten years ago. However, the discussion was rather loose. To put it simply, Dr. Li Nian proposed three viewpoints regarding the research on Earth's food at that time..."

Lin Yi's voice was neither too high nor too low, and his speaking speed was neither too fast nor too slow. He enunciated every word clearly, as calmly and methodically as a news report.

Not only the audience in front of the camera, but also the host's intelligent brain and other guests in the studio were stunned.

Some viewers began to speculate whether what Lin Yi had just said was made up.

Someone else said, "Even if it's made up, it does sound very plausible. I probably wouldn't be able to make it up in this situation..."

But what really shocked everyone was the subsequent performance assessment by the intelligent computer.

"Very good!" The host's usually restrained tone suddenly rose, full of praise for Lin Yi, "The answer is completely correct."

At this point, Lin Yi's score was 60 points, Fang Hong and Xi Qingyu each had 40 points, and Song Shu had 55 points.

Some people in the audience also dug out that issue of the magazine and found that what Lin Yi said before was indeed very similar to the content in the magazine. If there was any difference, it was probably that he seemed to have made the content more refined and the wording more accurate.

Even though most of the audience dislike Lin Yi, they have to admit that Lin Yi has his strengths.

"This is too good! If I had this ability to answer questions, I would be able to walk sideways in school!"

But some people have raised questions.

"He was able to answer so fluently when the others had such a hard time answering. Could that mean he was cheating?"

It was not only the audience outside the camera who had this idea, but also Song Shu who was in the studio. Song Shu was not a truly gentle and kind person. She grew up in a privileged family environment, and since she was not the heir of the family, she was subject to very few rules and restrictions. She was basically just a domineering and spoiled noble lady.

The expected Lin Yi's embarrassed look not only did not appear, but instead overwhelmed her. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

"You weren't cheating, were you?" Song Shu couldn't help but say to Lin Yi. Her voice was not small and instantly penetrated the entire studio. When it reached Lin Yi's ears, it also reached the ears of all the audience.

Lin Yi looked at her in surprise, his tone lowered, "Do you think I, the co-host of the AI, cheated?"

Lin Yi's words dragged down the host's intelligent brain, and it immediately collapsed. It was obviously very unhappy when it spoke, "Mrs. Ye, all my judgments are objective and rigorous. If you have any questions, you can apply to test me."

Artificial intelligence at the level of Host Brain is almost no different from humans, except for the restrictions on the places it can go. It is even recognized as being more fair than humans in many aspects.

Lin Yi's image is not good at the moment, and directly arguing with Song Shu will probably not please the public. It would be better to put the blame on the host's intelligent brain and shift the focus of the conflict.

Song Shu also realized that she had just said something wrong. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she waved her hand and said, "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

This little episode immediately became a hot search on Starnet, #Song Shu questioned Lin Yi's cheating#, which immediately attracted a large number of viewers.

At this time, the segment had already moved on, and a pre-recorded interactive video of about ten minutes was inserted. The staff and guests in the studio were able to rest during these ten minutes.

Lin Yi stood up from his seat, walked to the glass window outside and looked out.

"Lin Yi." A female voice came from behind him.

Lin Yi turned around and saw Song Shu standing at the end of the empty corridor, dressed brightly and exquisitely, with some anger still on her face.

"Is the gland injury healed?" Song Shu approached him with a disdainful look, "How does it feel to be an infertile omega?"

"If I say it's not bad, do you believe it?" Lin Yi asked her calmly.

The recording and video recording functions were prohibited at the shooting location, so the conversation between the two people could be unconcealed and there was no need for false expressions.

Seeing that Lin Yi dared to retort, Song Shu grabbed Lin Yi's arm and said coldly: "If you are smart, leave the capital planet by yourself, otherwise I can make you lose everything at any time."

Lin Yi's gaze met Song Shu's. The sudden piercing pressure made Song Shu feel uncomfortable. She frowned. Just when she thought Lin Yi would get too excited, Lin Yi just raised his hand to push her hand away. Then, as Song Shu staggered slightly, he whispered, "I'll wait and see."
