Han Zhou thought to himself that there were not many ways to connect all nine points. In this way, the difficulty of this part did not seem to be too high, but its essence was still a game that tested luck, and the high or low probability did not affect its essence.
"Do you two understand the rules of the game?"
The host looked at the two of them with a smile, seemingly asking questions, but in fact he was also trying to prevent them from taking the opportunity to discuss how to connect the patterns later.
"understood."
Han Zhou and Zhong Ling nodded at the same time.
"That's good. Next, please return to your previous positions. By the way, this game actually has some tricks. If you both know each other's phone passwords, maybe this part will be easy to pass."
The host smiled and reminded him that what he said actually made sense, it was just nonsense.
There is a possibility of coincidence in this game, but the possibility of coincidence is greater. Not everyone's mobile phone password is a pattern unlock, and not everyone who uses a pattern unlock will connect all nine dots. His words are not of much help, but more like a misleading.
If we really follow his idea and guess how to connect the pattern based on each other's mobile phone passwords, the possibility of failure will probably be very high.
However, this is not a problem that Han Zhou needs to consider at the moment. He and Zhong Ling don’t know each other’s mobile phone passwords at all, so there is no need to waste energy on such things.
But this also means that their choice depends purely on luck.
The host gave each of the two people a rectangular piece of cardboard and asked them to mark arrows on the connecting line to indicate the direction. This means that the starting point and end point of the pattern connection must be exactly the same, otherwise it will not count even if the patterns look the same.
"Are you two ready?"
"Ready."
"Okay, time limit is three minutes, start now!"
The host pressed the timer.
I didn’t expect that the last part would last as long as three minutes. However, this was obviously not out of kindness from the mall, but rather a little trick.
Spending too much time thinking about this kind of game is not necessarily a good thing. As the saying goes, the more you think, the easier it is to make mistakes. Especially at this critical juncture when you are about to get the bonus, the feeling of worrying about gains and losses will greatly affect your judgment.
Han Zhou knew this very well, but even so, he still hesitated at the moment when he was about to connect the pattern. Sometimes the inner thoughts are one thing, and the actual actions are another thing, and when it comes to the moment of making a decision, one may not be able to keep the original intention.
However, he only hesitated for a few seconds before connecting the nine points according to his original idea, using the simplest method of writing "2", and then walked towards the host with the card.
There is no definite answer to this kind of question, so there is naturally no need to think too much about it. Since it is a game of chance, he will leave the answer to luck and to the possible telepathy between him and Zhong Ling.
Perhaps with the same idea in mind, Zhong Ling walked towards the host almost at the same time as him, and there were less than twenty seconds left before the game started.
"Have you two come up with an answer so quickly?"
The Mediterranean host was a little surprised and jokingly asked, "Could it be that you have really used similar passwords before?"
He put the card away without even looking at it, and seemed to have no intention of revealing the answer for the time being.
Han Zhou actually just wanted to see the result and leave, so he could only smile and perfunctorily say: "That's not the case. Anyway, this is not an IQ test. Since it's just a matter of luck, there's no need to think too much."
Zhong Ling nodded in agreement.
The host did not deny that this was a game of chance. Telepathy was just a gimmick. He smiled and said, "You two have thought it through very thoroughly. However, you can make such a decisive choice. It seems that you two are still very confident in your fate."
Han Zhou smiled but said nothing, thinking to himself, you are not doing an interview, can you be more efficient, there are people waiting behind you.
Of course the host couldn't hear his thoughts, so he asked curiously, "May I ask, what is your relationship now?"
This is also a question that the audience is concerned about. They are very curious whether these two people are a couple.
"friend."
However, Han Zhou's subsequent answer disappointed many people who were ready to support the couple, such as Zhang Chengfan and Xiao Yuyan.
But the latter changed his mind and thought, since they are just friends, doesn’t that mean I have a chance?
But they are really a good match...
“So we’re good friends.”
The host observed Han Zhou's expression, smiled and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you this before. Your friend doesn't seem to like talking much. She hasn't said a word from the beginning until now. If possible, I want to hear what she thinks in person..."
Before he could finish, Han Zhou interrupted him and said, "Sorry, my friend is a bit socially anxious and doesn't like to talk, so if you have anything to ask, just ask me directly."
Social fear?
Zhang Chengfan and Xiao Yuyan in the audience looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
The domineering and cold junior and the cute and socially phobic senior...
It’s so spicy!
"Is that so? I'm so sorry."
The host scratched his sparsely haired head, still curious, and after thinking for a while he asked, "You two are friends now, but have you ever thought about the future..."
"No, are you holding an event or doing an interview? Hurry up and show us the results. There are a group of people waiting to go on stage behind you!"
At this moment, a dissatisfied shout suddenly came from the audience. It turned out that Lin Anyu couldn't help but speak. He could see that Han Zhou didn't want to pay attention to this bald man, so he quickly jumped out to help.
Not only that, he has seen many people picking up their phones to record videos. The Internet is so developed these days. If Gu Zheng sees Han Zhou participating in couple games with other girls, there will definitely be problems, so he needs to take action.
He continued to yell, "Why are you dilly-dallying? Are you trying to default on your debt?"
Facing Lin Anyu's shouting, the host was stunned for a moment and had to interrupt the questioning. He smiled and explained: "Everyone, rest assured, our event is absolutely fair, just and open. There will definitely be no defaulting. Since everyone is so impatient, I will reveal the result."
"I haven't seen the results of the two challengers, so let's reveal the answer together--"
The host stretched out his tone, and who knows where he learned the trick of keeping the audience in suspense from on TV. He held his breath and slowly raised the two cards into the air as if he was constipated. This process took about ten seconds, and then he slowly turned the cards over at a snail's pace...
"Can you fucking hurry up!"
Someone in the audience couldn't help it and threw an empty bottle up.
Not to mention the audience, Han Zhou also wanted to kick this guy.
The host then realized that he had gone too far. He thought this was more interesting, so he smiled awkwardly and immediately presented the card to everyone.
After observing for a while, he saw that most of the people in the audience had regretful expressions. He had a conclusion in his mind and sighed: "Everyone's expressions told me the answer. It seems that this challenge..."
As he spoke, he held the card in front of his eyes to check it, and the next second, his voice stopped abruptly.
The host showed an incredible expression on his face, and said in surprise: "I'm sorry everyone, I just took a card upside down. The real result should be like this-"
He turned one of the cards over and presented the two cards to everyone again.
Holding the cards upside down will of course affect the final result, and when the real result was shown to everyone, there was an immediate exclamation from the audience, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
The Mediterranean host and the audience were interacting non-stop, and seemed to have completely forgotten the real parties involved. Han Zhou and Zhong Ling had not seen the result with their own eyes, so they looked at each other helplessly and had to judge based on the audience's reaction.
When Han Zhou saw that everyone was sighing with regret, he thought they had failed. Noticing the bewildered look on Zhong Ling's face, he consoled her, "It's okay, senior sister. This..."
However, before he could finish his words, he saw the faces of all the audience members changed rapidly, with excitement and doubt at the same time. Han Zhou was still a little uncertain at this time, but when he saw Lin Anyu's expression as if he had seen a ghost, he immediately came to a conclusion - he and Zhong Ling successfully passed the last stage!
But how is this possible?
To be honest, Han Zhou found it difficult to understand such a result. When he saw the prompt that the temporary task was completed, a question popped up in his mind: Did I pick up fifteen points for nothing?
To be fair, the completion of this temporary mission had little to do with him. It was all due to luck...
"Congratulations to the two challengers for successfully passing our Telepathic Challenge and winning a prize of 10,400 yuan!"
The host's loud voice brought Han Zhou back to his senses. When he came to his senses, he saw Zhong Ling looking at him with joy. He patted his chest and said, "That's great. I thought we had failed just now."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes sparkled, as if she was looking forward to the bonus.
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. Fortunately, if Zhong Ling had shown a matter-of-fact expression at this time, he would probably have suspected whether the other party was carrying some tremendous fate.
and so……
Is this just our good luck, or are we really in sync with each other?
Never mind, I’ll have to buy a lottery ticket and try it later.
……
"Cousin, are your friend and that girl really not a couple?"
Seeing Han Zhou and Zhong Ling following the staff off the stage to receive their prize money, Xiao Yuyan sighed, "But they are such a good match, even their heights match..."
She looked unwilling, as if it was unjust that these two people were not together.
"That's enough. It's not up to you to decide whether they are a good match or not."
Lin Anyu waved his hands, looking a little depressed. "But this is really weird. Could this kid have thought of some way to cheat?"
Anyway, he didn't believe in any telepathy.
Zhang Chengfan shook his head and said with emotion: "To be honest, I never thought that someone could actually pass this challenge before, so don't worry, these two people are so compatible, they will definitely be together in the future."
Xiao Yuyan's eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement. The two looked at each other and a chilling auntie smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
Lin Anyu couldn't stand the disgusting smiles of these two guys, so he decided to deal a blow to their morale. He said with a fake smile, "Stop talking nonsense. Han Zhou has a girl he likes, and he loves her to death."
"how is this possible?"
Xiao Yuyan was shocked and subconsciously retorted, "Why would you participate in couple games with other girls if you have someone you like?"
Lin Anyu laughed and said, "That's right, didn't you also participate with me?"
"so what?"
"Do you have anyone you like?"
"No."
"Oh, that's okay."
"..."
Lin Anyu was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Anyway, you two should stop trying to match people up with each other. Han Zhou is obviously more suitable for another girl."
In order to combat the unhealthy trend of random pairings between the two, he decided to temporarily transform himself into a "Zheng Zheng Man" and wholeheartedly uphold the banner of Guzheng.
Xiao Yuyan was unconvinced and said, "How well matched can they be? Can they have such a tacit understanding between them?"
"How not?"
Lin Anyu sneered, "Chengfan, can you get the card that Han Zhou just used? It's best if it's new, and take a picture for me."
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Chengfan looked at him in confusion.
"Of course it's useful. Can we get it?"
"wait for me a while."
Zhang Chengfan left for a while, but came back not long after and said, "I've sent you the photos. What do you want to do?"
