Chapter 240 You Are Defective
Chapter 240. You Are Defective
Ren Ping knew very well that Wang Jiandao's trip was aimed at the Nanling City League, and he had nothing to do with him, but this person is really an eyesore here, so it's better to find an excuse to send him away.

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" Wang was furious when he heard the words.

On the contrary, Zhuang Weinian smiled: "Okay, it's a deal."

"Mr. Zhuang!" Wang Jiandao was taken aback.

"Needless to say, this is the decision. If we lose, Mr. Wang will be asked to avoid it temporarily."

Zhuang Weinian had no intention of asking for his opinion at all. Now that Ren Ping said this, everyone on Daijiu should make a bet. The situation at hand is one that we are sure of and we must not miss it.

Secondly, although Wang Jiandao said he had brought them here today, he was actually just a puppet. People in the three provinces looked down upon him at all. What did it matter whether he was there or not?
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Cui Hao and Fan Jingxian also echoed: "That's right, that's the deal."

"Mr. Wang, don't forget what you promised us before. There is no place for you to talk here."

They all looked at Rong Qiancheng and the others.

Rong Qiancheng and the others looked at each other a few times, and nodded in unison. Now, they have no way out, so they can only pin all their hopes on Ren Ping.

"Okay, let Mr. Lu announce the result."

Both sides had been waiting for a long time at this time, and as soon as the words fell, they all turned to Lu Ziliang.

Lu Ziliang's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking or which side he was leaning towards. He didn't do anything himself when he heard the words, but gave a brief signal to the scoring personnel at the Spring and Autumn League headquarters next to him.

The man understood, bowed, placed the two sets of Guan Gong statues of Fan Zhiyi, Rong Yi, and Qi Wulei on both sides of the table, and then quickly rummaged through the score book based on the numbers.

In fact, the points of the two groups of antiques were already known when the two sides were gambling. Now it is just a matter of re-confirmation and verification of their respective hidden rules.

About 5 minutes later, the points of Rong Yi and Qi Wulei were placed on the standings first.

五件古玩依次计2分、6分、9分、9分和14分，合计40分。

This arrangement of points surprised everyone, because under such a large-scale points competition system, the eyesight knowledge of each contestant will be reflected by the points and will be relatively constant.

For example, for those ordinary children of the Nine Great Families, without Ren Ping's help, most of the selected antiques would have around 2 to 4 points, and very few lucky ones would exceed 5 points.

Most of the children from the three provinces can pick out antiques in the range of 6 to 9 points, and their eyesight is obviously a level higher than that of the children of the Nine Great Masters.

However, the group of Rong Yi and Qi Wulei is different, the lowest score is 2 points, and the lowest score is 14 points. With such a large span, it seems that they were not selected by the same group.

This is not a big deal, what surprised everyone the most was that when the total points were determined, the point bonus immediately followed was "+0"!
This is the highest bonus coefficient so far, which means that the final points of their group are 40 times 1, totaling 3 points, which has exceeded the 52-point threshold mentioned by Lu Ziliang!
"How is this possible? Could it be a mistake?"

"The junk they picked is actually worth 40 points? What is that 14-point thing? Such a high score is very rare in the entire competition. I don't believe they can pick it out."

"What's with the 0 point bonus? This is a high bonus in previous official competitions. There must be something wrong!"

As soon as the score came out, the two sides immediately fell into a double sky of ice and fire.

Rong Yi and Qi Wulei breathed a sigh of relief, as if letting go of a heavy boulder in their hearts.

Rong Qiancheng and the others were even more overjoyed. They didn't expect these two people to be so competitive, and the way they looked at them changed. Of course, they all knew that Ren Ping was most likely responsible for this.

Everyone in the three provinces was in mourning. If the total score of 40 points was still acceptable to them, then the extremely dazzling "+0" was something they never expected.

"Mr. Lu, could this be a mistake?"

Cui Hao was the first to say with a deep voice.

Before Lu Ziliang could reply, Ren Ping took it first, and said with a smile, "What's the rush, Mr. Cui? Let's see Senior Brother Fan first. What if he can also get a 0?"

Cui Hao knew that he was being sarcastic, so he narrowed his eyes and stopped talking.

Lu Ziliang signaled to the person next to him again, and in an instant, the field became quiet, seemingly calm, but most of the people's hearts were already in their throats.

Especially after that person also marked the points of the other group, it immediately caused an uproar.

"35 points, how is it possible!"

Fan Zhiyi immediately jumped up, his face was full of shock and anger, as if he was going to swallow his life alive.

It turned out that the points for his five antiques were only 6 points, 6 points, 6 points, 8 points and 9 points respectively, for a total of 35 points. Although it was not low, it was far from what he expected.

Also, the point bonus that follows is only "+0", which represents the most obvious hidden rule. How can this satisfy him?

You know, according to his vision, the gilt-bronze statue of Guan Gong bending his bow and shooting feathers alone is worth at least 20 points, plus the other four pieces, there is a high probability that it will directly reach the threshold of 50 points.

The addition coefficient should be at least 0. Then, the final points will be around 2 points, not only far superior to the children of the Nine Families, but also to show their faces in front of Lu Ziliang and the elders of the three provinces.

But now how...

35 multiplied by 1, less than 1 points, not as good as other people's total points!
"Mr. Lu, isn't that right?"

At this time, Cui Hao and the others' faces were covered with dark clouds, and their gazes looking at Fan Zhiyi were like sharp swords, piercing his back with pain.

But Wang Jiandao was the most impatient. As the instigator of today's turmoil, he knew very well what would be waiting for him if Fan Zhiyi was defeated this time, so he couldn't help looking at Lu Ziliang right now.

Lu Ziliang ignored him, but turned to Fan Zhiyi:
"Brother Fan must have a lot of doubts in his mind. How can my set of Guan Gong portraits only have a bonus coefficient of 0?"

"That's right! Please clarify, Mr. Lu, otherwise there must be a mistake in the scoring book!"

At this point, Fan Zhiyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.

Lu Ziliang shook his head when he heard the words: "I got the scoring book from the headquarters when I left the capital. The points and hidden rules on it completely correspond to this field, and there will be absolutely no mistakes."

"Impossible! Regardless of the other things, the statue of Guan Gong bending the bow and shooting feathers alone is worth at least 20 points!"

Fan Zhiyi pointed to the Guan Gong copper ornament that he valued the most.

As soon as the words fell, Lu Ziliang was slightly taken aback: "What do you think it looks like?"

"The statue of Guan Gong bends his bow and shoots feathers, isn't it?"

Lu Ziliang picked up the portrait of Guan Gong and took a closer look, thinking that he had lost his eye, or that the marks on the scoring book were really wrong, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at Ren Ping.

The identification of real and fake Guan Gong statues before the game left a deep impression on Ren Ping, and he couldn't help pinning his hopes on him.

Ren Ping smiled: "Mr. Lu doesn't have to hesitate. According to the competition system, if someone's choice is actually misjudged, what will happen?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this, but Lu Ziliang instantly realized that Ren Ping meant to affirm himself.

He immediately snorted, walked to the scoreboard, and erased one of the points after Fan Zhiyi's name.

Fan Zhiyi's pupils shrank: "What does this mean?"

The point value that was erased was 8 points. In this way, wouldn't I only have 27 points left?

Lu Ziliang's expression was not without disappointment, he shook his head and said:
"What is the statue of Guan Gong bending the bow and shooting the feathers?
