"My goodness, Tongtong, is your brain made of a computer!" Liu Yifeng was stunned by Tongtong's answer.
He knew Tongtong had the ability to recall anything he saw, but this painting was too complex, with too many things, both messy and chaotic.
Even if he looked at it for a minute, he wouldn't necessarily be able to count everything.
He never expected it to be so simple for Tongtong, it was truly amazing.
However, the performances of Tian Tian and Song Yicheng today also truly amazed him.
He could understand Tongtong's intelligence, as Tongtong was a reward from his previous life as a great philanthropist.
But the fact that Tian Tian and Song Yicheng could also answer correctly showed that their strength was also very powerful, which made them formidable rivals for Tongtong.
No wonder Song Mama was so smug. However, he wasn't that afraid of Song Yicheng; it was mainly Tian Tian, this girl, who was truly formidable.
Calm and collected, she answered the questions with an aura of a woman who could hold her own against men.
That kind of confidence alone had already crushed many contestants.
"Daddy, stay calm, this is just a small scene. The upcoming questions will definitely get harder, just watch my performance!" Tongtong's words interrupted Liu Yifeng's thoughts.
Liu Yifeng smiled, "Okay, after today's recording, will Daddy take you out for a late-night snack, alright?"
The program was scheduled to be recorded until nine o'clock tonight, and after the snack, they would go back to the hotel to rest.
Tongtong was also a foodie, and hearing about a late-night snack made her more excited than answering a question correctly. "Hooray, can I have some skewers?"
"Okay, but you have to eat less of this. Once or twice is fine, and Daddy can satisfy you, but if you eat too much, Daddy won't take you anymore."
"Mmm, I'll only eat it today!" Tongtong agreed immediately.
Returning to the recording venue, a video of a contestant and a special guest was still being played on the big screen.
The audience watched intently, each one trying to learn and prepare to apply the learning lifestyle of geniuses to their own children.
Liu Yifeng also watched. The contestant was learning, and the special guest was interacting with him on learning.
Seeing this, Liu Yifeng lost interest because Tongtong didn't need it at all.
Although Tongtong was in the senior class, at home, apart from the homework assigned by the kindergarten, he never made Tongtong do homework and didn't want Tongtong to be so tired.
Studying at school and then studying at home would only make students more averse to learning.
Of course, not everyone could be as talented as Tongtong.
Most geniuses were achieved through ninety-nine percent effort and one percent talent.
To put it bluntly, one still had to study, otherwise, how could they improve!
So, the happy learning method shown in the video was still applicable to many children who could learn and use it immediately.
Ten minutes passed quickly. Liu Yifeng took Tongtong to his seat and then returned to his own.
At this moment, the host walked out from behind the stage with a microphone, wearing a professional smile.
Standing on the stage, he began with his familiar opening remarks, quickly read out all the sponsor advertisements, and then entered the formal hosting state.
"The results of the first round have been tallied. Currently, three contestants answered incorrectly, and the remaining contestants' differences are in the time taken to answer.
I won't list them one by one here. After the three rounds of competition are over, we will do a summary and then announce the qualifiers. The remaining sixteen contestants will enter the semi-finals.
The second round will still be about memory, but the difficulty will increase. It will not be a multiple-choice question format. Instead, we will ask questions, and the contestants will directly provide the correct answers. Good luck, everyone!
To ensure fairness, this round will have other contestants select questions for the current contestant.
For example, contestant number one will have their question selected by contestant number two, and contestant number two will have their question selected by contestant number three.
This will continue in order until contestant number thirty-two has their question selected by contestant number one.
The rules of the competition remain the same: whoever answers correctly in the shortest time will be counted, and then a final tally will be made.
Now, please welcome contestant number one, Zhou Yutong, to the stage!" As the host finished, Zhou Yutong walked onto the stage.
Next, the host asked contestant number two to select a question for Zhou Yutong. Contestant number two, Hu Yue, chose question number three.
After asking Gu Yue to sit down, the host told Zhou Yutong to get ready, and the countdown began on the big screen.
Zhou Yutong was a little nervous. The host said that this round's questions would be more difficult than the previous one, and she didn't know how difficult they would be.
Especially since she was contestant number one, she always had to go first. If her psychological resilience wasn't strong, it would be easy to make mistakes.
As it turned out, the questions were indeed much more difficult, just as the host had said.
A clip from a TV drama appeared on the big screen. On the road, cars were coming and going. It was not hard to guess that this question would be related to cars.
Moreover, the footage had been sped up. One wrong glance and the scene would be gone. Ordinary people's eyes wouldn't be sharp enough to even notice many cars, let alone recall them. This scene only lasted for ten seconds before ending.
Then the host began to ask, "Please listen to the question. In the scene just now, a total of two Toyota cars appeared. Please state their license plate numbers. Please answer!"
As the host finished asking the question, the timer started.
The audience below, upon hearing the question, stared at each other with wide eyes.
In the ten-second scene just now, at least twenty cars appeared. Forget about license plates, they hadn't even seen if they were Toyotas, let alone when they appeared.
The difficulty of this question had directly increased by several levels.
This question was too devilish, truly worthy of the name "The Brain."
Ordinary people like them were simply not qualified to answer.
They hadn't answered a single question correctly in the preliminary round, and this intermediate round was even more out of the question.
They had given up on answering along and just wanted to hear the contestants' answers.
Due to the increased difficulty of the questions, Zhou Yutong's answering time was not as short as in the previous round.
She was still trying hard to recall, the images flashing rapidly in her mind, like a movie playing.
On the contestants' side, some people already knew the license plate numbers, including Tian Tian and Song Yicheng.
As for Tongtong, there was no need to mention him. Forget about Toyota license plates, he could accurately state all license plate numbers.
"Tongtong, do you already know the answer?" Xia Qianqian couldn't help but ask, seeing that Tongtong looked very relaxed.
Tongtong nodded without speaking.
These questions were all child's play to him.
The host called out to Zhou Yutong, who had not given an answer for a long time. He said, "Zhou Yutong, if you cannot be sure of your answer, you can use your three-round guest privilege to have your special guest choose a guest from the 'Help Group' to answer for you. Do you want to use it?"
However, Zhou Yutong refused without hesitation. Her thinking was simple: even if she made a mistake, she still had a chance to enter the semi-finals. If she qualified in the semi-finals, she wouldn't have to waste such an opportunity.
In short, she definitely wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary, and even if she used it, she might not get it right.
"According to our competition rules, if you do not provide an answer within three minutes, it will be considered an incorrect answer.
There is still half a minute left, Zhou Yutong, please hurry up and answer." Seeing that she didn't want to use it, the host continued.
Although Zhou Yutong had an answer in mind, she wasn't sure if it was correct. Now, she could only try her best.
"Their license plate numbers are..."
