interstellar first transfer student

Chapter 21 Ancient Earth Knowledge Contest

The paw prints on the notebook are so clear, it seems that a leopard dipped something in it and pressed it on purpose.

Definitely not stepping on it by accident.

Shen Zhexi understood the meaning of the paw print almost immediately.

After quietly staring at the paw prints on it for a long time, Shen Zhexi gently closed the notebook.

Should be gone.

Snow Leopard's injury had basically healed, so naturally there was no point in staying and being detained in such a small room.

Although he had long thought that such a day would come, he was willing to respect Snow Leopard's choice, but this moment came too suddenly, which still made him hard to accept.

Shen Zhexi went back to the window and looked into the distance outside the window.

The snow outside has melted, and the ground is mottled, but some places have frozen again.

Probably in a corner at this moment, that gray-white figure is walking on the ice.

……

Time soon came to the day of the Ancient Earth Knowledge Contest.

In one day, the preliminaries and the finals were all completed. This arrangement may have already destined that some highly anticipated students will fall from the altar today, and it is also doomed that there may be unknown newcomers who will fight to become gods.

For the interstellar people, the ancient earth is so long and mysterious, and there are too many unknowns and mysteries waiting for their later generations to excavate, restore and inherit.

This is exactly the original intention of the Leidens Ancient Earth Knowledge Contest.

That period of history should not be forgotten by people, even though they no longer belong to that blue planet.

Shen Zhexi's team is the fourth team, and Qiao Sheng, the only second-year history student, naturally assumed the role of captain.

The competition is carried out round after round in the order of mandatory answers first and rush to answer. Each team must answer the mandatory questions. Failure to answer within the specified time will be regarded as giving up the answer and no points will be scored.

Since this competition has been publicized for a long time, except for the special case of Shen Zhexi, everyone has sufficient preparation time, so the best opportunity to widen the gap between them is undoubtedly the rush to answer questions later.

Puzzles will also be centrally set here.

The venue of the competition was arranged in the central auditorium. The biggest difference from the auditoriums I have seen before is probably the intelligent robots that keep moving in the aisles.They are not tall, but they are good assistants for the organizers of this competition.

Following the host's introduction, each team entered the arena in order and took their seats.

It was only after Shen Zhexi entered the venue that he noticed that the auditorium had already been filled with audiences on two floors, densely packed, all students in Leidens uniforms, and he couldn't help feeling panicked.

I haven't experienced such a scene for a long time.

In the years before time travel, he also often participated in such competitions, which was his pride.

It's just that after coming here, due to various reasons, he really couldn't be like before. If he hadn't been tricked by unknown people this time, he wouldn't be standing here at this moment.

Thinking of the past, Shen Zhexi settled down and followed her captain to the designated seat.

On the table in front of them is a metallic answering machine and a matching mini-display for the convenience of the contestants to answer questions.

When the host introduced their team, the audience almost inevitably let out a lot of exclamation.

Shen Zhexi? !

He really came to compete?

"You said that he competed with those top students from the history department. Isn't that just looking for abuse? Fortunately, my impression of him has improved recently..."

"I just want to show off! Embarrassment is also a way to show off."

The audience below were discussing a lot. Qiao Sheng, the captain, was worried about Shen Zhexi's mental state after hearing it, so he hurriedly turned his head and gave him a look to show him comfort.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhexi smiled lightly, as if he was not disturbed by such a scene.

Qiao Sheng had no choice but to turn around and concentrate on preparing for the competition.

The game starts now.

The first is the compulsory question link, each team takes turns to answer.

The host is a third-grade senior. She is wearing a small dress. Not only is she beautiful, she has a nice voice, and she also has a graceful demeanor.

"Please listen to the first question, which must be answered. The first team chose culture and art."

"The erhu is a traditional musical instrument of the ancient earth. Which ancient country did it come from?"

Two seconds later, the members of the first team got up and answered: "Ancient China."

"correct answer!"

"Whose work is the famous oil painting "The Potato Eater" on the ancient earth?"

……

The performance of the first two teams is very good, almost all the answers are correct, but there are some questions that are slightly slower to answer.

As they took their seats, the audience burst into warm applause from time to time, and their companions who supported them cheered for them.

"..." As a native of the ancient earth, Shen Zhexi couldn't help but feel very cordial when he heard the questions asked by the host.

Finally, it was the turn of Shen Zhexi's third team.

Similar to the previous first team, Lihua, as the first member of the team, also chose the theme of culture and art.

It is not difficult to understand after a little thought.

Most of the students at Leidens College are either rich or expensive, and they have received a good art education and influence since childhood. If they are not students majoring in history, it is indeed more beneficial for them to choose topics such as culture and art.

"Please listen to the first question, which must be answered. The third team chose culture and art."

"In a certain painting by Edvard Munch, a human being shows an extremely painful expression with his hands against the blood red background. What is the name of this painting?"

Lihua, who was the first to stand up, listened intently to the questions asked by the host. She was proud and arrogant, and naturally wanted to win very much, especially after she had Shen Zhexi as a motivator, she didn't want to admit defeat.

Unfortunately, the first question was about her knowledge blind spot.

She knew "Sunflowers" and "The Last Supper", and even reviewed the "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" that had been lost for a long time and had become a legend, but she couldn't remember the painting described in this question.

This is often the case. I have reviewed a lot, but there is such a dead corner of my memory, and I get stuck there at the most critical time.

Lihua was stunned on the spot.

There was already a layer of sweat on her forehead, but Lihua couldn't find the answer in her mind. She subconsciously looked at her captain, Qiao Sheng, but saw that Qiao Sheng was also frowning.

Although Qiao Sheng was hardworking, he came from a commoner class, and he usually focused on his major in school. He really didn't know much about ancient earth culture and art, so he couldn't help him.

Seeing that the other party obviously couldn't help, Lihua's face completely collapsed, how could this be? !As the first team member to play, she is very confident in herself, obviously the first few questions are quite simple...

Thinking of this, Lihua's legs started to shake, it was so embarrassing!The first question was not answered.

However, at this moment, Shen Zhexi who was sitting next to her suddenly poked her with his finger.

""Scream"." Shen Zhexi reminded her in a low voice, after thinking about it, he added a sentence worriedly, "I guessed it."

It means that you can decide whether to use this answer or not.

Lihua seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, almost without thinking, she read the answer she received at the last second: "It's "Scream"!"

The host didn't respond to her answer right away, and the atmosphere on the field was taken a step further by the host, and even the audience in the auditorium looked forward to it.

Is it correct?

At this time, the host smiled lightly, and finally said: "The answer is correct!"

"Huh..." Lihua let out a sigh of relief, and quickly sat down. As soon as she sat down, she turned to Shen Zhexi who was beside her and took a look at him.

Shen Zhexi noticed her gaze, but did not respond, "Hiding merit and fame", it is better to keep a low profile.

Then it was Shen Zhexi's turn to answer.

Shen Zhexi looked calm and did not look very flustered.

A student who came to watch the joke couldn't help but comment: "Look at Shen Zhexi, he's quite calm."

"Maybe he is a dark horse."

"What joke are you telling? Him?"

"Don't you know that he improved by more than 700 in the mid-term assessment?"

"That should have been an accident..."

The voice in the auditorium was relatively low, so the host simply ignored the discussion and went on to the next question——

"Please listen to the second question, which is a compulsory question. The third team chose the diet category."

"There used to be a fish on the ancient earth with a cylindrical body. Its eyes, blood and other body parts were highly poisonous. Anyone who ate it would be poisoned and die. What is this fish called?"

As soon as the question came out, the fine cooking students who were sitting below immediately became excited and began to discuss the answer to the question.

"Is it salmon?"

"Pfft... Where is salmon poisonous?"

"I see, it's squid!"

"Squids aren't fat at all—"
