Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 202 concerns 100 million in honor!

Under Shi Sui's arrangement, Xu Chaomu, Yan Ze, and Pei Shuoxun sat in a row.

As for her and Chi Yan, after queuing up again, only the emergency exit was left.

First class tickets were sold out, and for more than two hours, the two of them sat upright, straighter than pine trees.

In the back row sat a noisy, unruly child whose parents didn't care.

The young master experienced hell on his first flight in economy class.

So when they learned that the program had arranged for a three-star hotel, they upgraded to a Bulgari suite without hesitation.

Then she went to find Shi Sui, but was rejected.

—No, I'll stay at the hotel arranged by the production team. It'll be more convenient if there are any last-minute changes.

The young master had no choice but to experience Cinderella's life and gave the Bulgari suite to Yan Ze.

Yan Ze would wake up laughing in the middle of the night from his dreams.

The next morning, I went to the recording studio as arranged by the production team.

In the waiting area, Shi Sui ran into many classmates she had met at the winter camp.

"Wow, Shi Sui, it really is you! I didn't see Xu Chaomu standing with you yesterday afternoon, so I didn't dare to go up and recognize you."

"I heard Xinghua had some spots available, so I knew you would come. Shisui, you've become even more beautiful in the new year."

"It's over. Seeing you, I've come to realize that I'm just a runner-up."

"Don't even mention it, I saw Xu Chaomu. Oh no, we're all doomed now."

"Are the other two handsome guys also from Xinghua? My goodness, Xinghua is full of handsome men and beautiful women."

"..."

After greeting them, Shi Sui quickly entered the venue.

The studio, which can accommodate more than 500 contestants, is quite impressive when the lights are on.

Based on random number plates, the venue was divided into five zones, with contestants entering from different entrances.

Shi Sui drew Zone A, while Chi Yan, Xu Chaomu, and Pei Shuoxun were lucky enough to draw together in Zone E.

Chi Yan said goodbye to Shi Sui. Alas, he regretted it. He should have stepped out of the shadows and arranged to be with Shi Sui.

They were too naive to think that fate would bring them together randomly.

Xu Chaomu said goodbye to Shi Sui and offered some words of encouragement for the competition.

After turning around, he lowered his eyes. He should have hacked into the system and tried to manipulate it; he hadn't thought things through.

Pei Shuoxun said goodbye to Shi Sui, somewhat worried about her being alone. He reminded her several times to be careful, not to talk to strangers, not to wander off after the competition, and to come find him as soon as possible...

Shi Sui: ?

Speechless. She's almost an adult, and they still treat her like a child.

Shi Sui went to the designated location according to her number. There were already many contestants around, and she immediately spotted Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi not far from her.

Jiang Tianyao was going to participate in the show to establish a top student persona, and Shi Sui was not surprised by her appearance.

But why is Gu Chenyi here?

Shi Sui knocks on the system: [System, system, this show is rigged, isn't it? Did Gu Chenyi pour money into the show?]

System: [Yes, after learning that Jiang Tianyao was participating in "Super Genius," Gu Chenyi invested in the program and forcefully secured his place in the competition.]

[Jiang Tianyao shone brightly on the show, possessing both good looks and intelligence, and became an instant sensation after the show aired.]

Gu Chenyi also gained a following due to his handsome appearance and outstanding academic achievements. Netizens even discovered that he is the young master of the Gu Group, a future president, a tall, rich, and handsome man.

[Netizens verbally express envy towards the wealthy, but their actions reveal a blatant obsequiousness towards them.]

[And so Gu Chenyi became famous.]

[This show is a crucial part of the male and female leads' display of affection. The two frequently appear together on the show, displaying perfect chemistry. Their destined romance has garnered them a large following of fans who ship them as a couple.]

[......]

After listening, Shi Sui paused for a moment: [So in the novel, who won the grand prize of 100 million?]

She doesn't care about showing off their love, the key is the 100 million!

System: [Jiang Tianyao and Gu Chenyi obtained this together.]

Ha, all the contestants are just part of their game?

Shi Sui froze, puzzled: [What about me? Did I participate in this program in the novel?]

[I participated.]

The system's voice was noticeably weaker: [Host, in the novel, you are Jiang Tianyao's control group; you are completely outclassed by her in both answering questions and general knowledge.]

Tokiho: [!]

System: [But in terms of looks, you're not completely outshone; netizens say you're just a pretty face with no substance, a beautiful but useless person.]

Shi Sui: [。]

System: [However, the events depicted in the novel will definitely not happen now; the original plot has deviated significantly from the original story.]

System: [Host, you are no longer a character in the novel.]

Shi Sui confidently put her hands on her hips: [Of course, no one can take 100 million from me.]

Shi Sui: [Also, no one but myself can decide my fate.]

The first episode was recorded very quickly, with the preliminary selection using a knowledge quiz format.

Each contestant has a button to answer questions. After each recording, the top 100 scorers advance to the next round.

The questions on the big screen were varied, covering astronomy, geography, humanities, and history.

High school is the peak of knowledge accumulation. Students know everything from astronomy to geography, trace the origins of Chinese civilization for five thousand years, and can solve difficult problems in math competitions.

After reading the question, Shi Sui immediately chose the correct answer.

only--

Why does the score keep showing as 0?

Shi Sui didn't think that someone could answer such a simple question wrong, so she glanced at the boy next to her.

The boy covered the answer device tightly and gave her a warning look: "Don't peek at me."

He had noticed this girl a long time ago; her scores were always 0. Even if she just guessed on a multiple-choice question, she could probably get one right.

I really don't know how such a poor student managed to get in. Did he get in because of his looks?

Shi Sui: "..."

She didn't look at his answers; she looked at his score.

After seeing his score displayed, Shi Sui left her seat immediately.

Boy: They withdrew from the competition? That's too fragile.

When the staff saw someone coming down from the competition area, they immediately went up to them and said, "The program is being recorded and you can't leave halfway through."

The main reason is that the camera is currently following Shi Sui, who is the only one with a score of 0 so far.

This contrasts sharply with Jiang Tianyao, who scored a perfect score.

Many staff members on the show knew Jiang Tianyao. The pretty young woman had greeted them beforehand and was already somewhat famous online. After the Weibo announcement, it brought considerable buzz to the show.

Shi Sui politely asked, "This quiz machine is broken. Could you please replace it for me?"

She opened her hand and handed the answer device to the staff.

The staff member waved his hand and frowned: "All the answering devices in the venue have been calibrated and cannot malfunction. If you can't answer the questions, don't blame the answering device."

Shi Sui: "Could you please verify it for me again?"

Perhaps because the girl was so polite, the staff member, though feeling it was a hassle, still took the answer device.

A new question appeared on the big screen, and this staff member happened to know the answer.

So he confidently pressed option A.

However, the score did not flash; it remained 0.

The staff member was taken aback, then said awkwardly, "This answering device seems to be broken. You go back to your seat and I'll get you a new one."

Shi Sui nodded and returned to her seat.

When she discovered the malfunction of the answering machine, she wasn't angry or surprised; instead, she thought, "I knew it would happen."

System: [Host, oh no! The male and female leads' aura is affecting your quiz machine!]

Shi Sui calmly replied, "[It's okay, the quiz has only just begun. If I get all the questions right later, I won't be eliminated so easily.]"

System: [Understood! This concerns 100 million honor points!]
