Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 135: The Third Exam

"What's going on?"

"The team leader of the Lighthouse Country has turned into a statue."

"Just now, Dragon Country also said there was trouble at their side, has any new information come through?"

"A red alert has been issued in Dragon Country, and at the moment no new news has arrived!"

Dragon Country and Lighthouse Country have always been the strongest nations in combating the weird world, with the most retired adventurers and the most advanced anti-weird technologies.

If something happened to the team leaders of these two countries, the entire world order could undergo a massive change.

"Everyone, stay calm," the team leader from Bear Country stepped forward. "Lighthouse Country, do you need assistance now?"

On the other side of the camera, a group of agents carried away the statue-like team leader Anderson.

One of the agents sat in front of the camera and said calmly, "Respected Leaders, our team leader has been turned into a stone statue by weird power, and we do not currently understand the principle behind it. I am the deputy team leader of the strategy team, and I will be acting as the interim team leader of the Lighthouse Country's strategy team."

"Okay, what about Dragon Country?"

"There is still no news coming through; they seem to be in a tough battle."

"How is it going on the weird world's side?"

"All the surviving adventurers have entered the examination hall."

The leader of Bear Country shook his head helplessly.

Now, those countries with the poorest scores had become the safest.

Lighthouse Country and Dragon Country, which currently had the highest levels of exploration, were now in precarious situations—one having lost its leader and the other having issued a red alert.

The difficulty of the weird world was indeed getting higher and higher, and the influence of its rules was also becoming greater.

"I will communicate with Dragon Country's government immediately to see if they need support. You guys continue the meeting," said the leader of Bear Country before hanging up the video call.

Inside the Weird world...

Gu Yi sat in the classroom, waiting for the teacher to distribute the test papers.

He stared straight at the teacher, his eyes burning with flames of anger.

"Your eyes look like they could eat someone," the invigilating teacher glanced at Gu Yi, "Do well on your test, child."

The teacher placed the test paper on Gu Yi's desk and walked away with a smile.

As Gu Yi's gaze returned to the blank paper, he once again lost control of his body.

Gu Yi looked around; it seemed to be a break room, and he was wearing a uniform.

There were four other people dressed in the same uniform, each with a computer of the same model behind them. A man in a suit was standing in front of a whiteboard, his mouth moving as if he was passionately saying something.

"I've told you before, we have to lose this match. Do you want to die?"

"Coach Li, we don't want to get involved in match-fixing," said the player with the captain's armband, "If we get caught, we'll be banned for life."

The captain spoke up, but the other three teammates kept their heads down, not daring to make a statement. Since Gu Yi couldn't control his body at the moment, he could only watch as events unfolded.

"Ridiculous, once you're on this ship, you can't escape. Don't forget, each of you still owes me hundreds of thousands!"

The captain continued, "No, I'm not willing to fake the game! If we win the championship, we can pay back what we owe you."

"Do you really think you can win the championship? You bunch of losers. If you win the championship, I make three hundred thousand; if you lose the game, I make three million. Who do you think will lose out?

You're just a bunch of people playing games, talking to me about sportsmanship? About collective honor? You are nothing but tools for me to make money."

The coach opened the door to the break room and pointed outside.

"Look out there, all the media are waiting to interview you! Go out now and see for yourself, speak your truth and guess which way the public opinion will sway? When we were playing in the city competition, you participated in the gambling with me. If this gets out to the media, who do you think they'll believe?"

"That was you forcing us!"

"Do you have any evidence? Idiot! Those media and referees at the door are my people, how can you fight me?"

"But..."

"Play the game match properly and stop your whining here," the coach threatened, "If you don't do as I say, I'll throw you all into the sea as fish food. However, if you lose this match as told, I will give each of you a reward of one million. Choose whichever you want!"

The coach turned to leave.

Suddenly, a phone on the podium rang. The coach looked down and saw that it was Gu Yi's phone ringing.

"Gu Yi, your phone."

Gu Yi walked up to the coach.

Holding the phone, the coach threatened, "Put it on speaker, and if you say anything out of line, I'll kill you right away."

Gu Yi nodded.

"Hello, son."

"Dad, what's up?"

"Your mother's surgery is still pending, we've borrowed from all relatives and friends, but we're still short of 500,000. When will you be able to gather the money?"

"I... I think I'll have it sorted out in a bit."

The image and the sound stopped abruptly.

The invigilator once again announced the exam rules.

"Final exams begin."

"Third subject: Stress Test."

"Examination requirements:"

"1. Please answer using a black ink pen or fountain pen. If neither works, please use fresh blood."

"2. Once an answer is set, it cannot be changed. Answer with caution."

"3. This exam adopts a dream simulation approach. The exam duration is 24 hours. The passage of time here does not synchronize with reality. Allocate your time wisely. Everything that happens in this dream will not affect reality."

"4. Candidates must face various pressures during the exam. The invigilator will determine your final score based on your performance during the exam. Every decision you make and every word you say may become the basis for scoring."

"5. The maximum score for this exam is Emotionality: 10 points, Rationality: 10 points. If the total score exceeds 12 points, the test-taker will receive a dream fragment as a reward."

"The examination will officially begin after the candidate says 'Begin'."

Gu Yi felt inwardly distressed.

This time's exam question was like stacking all kinds of debuffs to the maximum.

In order to save his mother, he must find a way to get the money as quickly as possible.

However, getting that money would require him to compromise his professional ethics by participating in a fixed match.

The power of public opinion was in the coach's hands, and he had no way to use it to speak for himself, plus the evidence of the coach's threats was hard to come by.

Morals.

Public opinion.

The third subject’s examination combined the previous two exams to test the candidates on what kind of choices they would make under such extreme dilemmas and pressure.

"Ha... No one can have it all, right?" Gu Yi suddenly realized what Chen Zeyu had warned him about, "Sorry, I don't believe in that saying. Let's begin the exam!"

A flash of white light passed before Gu Yi’s eyes, and he finally regained control of his own body.
