Chapter 835 -834: Grouped Questions
The question from Community 12 was notably brief compared to the previous two queries.
After asking the question, there was still a 5-minute countdown.
Huang Shengjie frowned tightly, clearly, this question was still difficult to answer.
Whether the mediator made a mistake seems to be a matter of personal judgment.
Throughout the entire process of Gong Zheng buying a house, the mediator kept creating an anxious atmosphere with various rhetoric about ‘house prices increasing’, including the previously favored house being sold. Was there a real buyer, or was it some sort of performance by the mediator to pressure Gong Zheng? It’s hard to say.
Furthermore, the issue with Gong Zheng’s eligibility to buy a house—did the mediator truly not know in advance?
Li Kan’s performance was based on ‘the mediator’s actions in that specific scenario’, but what if the mediator was also acting?
Is the mediator’s professional ability really so poor? Couldn’t they tell immediately if there was a problem with Gong Zheng’s house-buying documents? Perhaps they pretended not to notice just to close the deal and earn their commission?
If any of the above has any error, even just using fake buyer information to deceive Gong Zheng, the answer to this question should be ‘Yes’.
But the question is… would Community 12 pose such an obvious question that everyone should get right?
If the goal is to minimize the scores of other communities as much as possible, then the answer should be ‘No’.
Although it is unclear how Community 12 achieved this, deep down, Huang Shengjie’s intuition also leaned towards choosing ‘No’.
But this turns into an endless loop of nesting dolls, such thinking is meaningless.
Unless the trap in this question can be clearly identified, it remains very difficult to provide a particularly clear answer.
At this moment, Qin Cheng said, “Shengjie, Sister Wanlin, listen to me, choose ‘No’ for this question.”
The three had originally been contemplating separately for a while, with not much time left.
Huang Shengjie and Zhou Wanlin were somewhat surprised, but Qin Cheng spoke with great certainty, as if he had some specific information.
“Alright, let’s choose No.”
Huang Shengjie pressed ‘No’ just before the countdown ended. In fact, he originally had this intuition too, but was struggling to make up his mind. Now that Qin Cheng was so certain, he followed his heart and made the choice.
Zhou Wanlin asked, “Qin Cheng, have you figured out the truth? Or did you catch some flaw in Li Kan’s performance?”
But Qin Cheng didn’t have time to answer before a new broadcast voice emerged, even though the original countdown wasn’t over yet.
[Community 11 chooses to question Community 5’s Actor ‘Zhang Lijuan’.]
[Relevant players, please be prepared.]
Clearly, communities that hadn’t completed questioning and asking were starting to act.
Different community questioning and asking cannot occupy the broadcast at the same time, but voting times can overlap.
Without a doubt, this further increased the difficulty of answering, as thinking time was squeezed indirectly.
This game has a total of three intermission times, with the first having three questioning sessions and one question, and the second only having one questioning and one question.
Time is extremely tight.
“The content we want to question is: In your Setting Book, roughly what percentage of negative responsibility does your role as the ‘Mother’ bear?”
Hearing this question, Huang Shengjie was stunned.
“Can you even ask like that?”
This question was obviously somewhat overstepping, as it seemed to bypass specific plots.
This question is very similar to Community 10’s question, but with more and stricter limitations; it can also be considered an upgrade or a supplement and confirmation of Community 10’s question.
Community 11 also seemed to agree with Community 10’s guess but played it safe by questioning once more in their own way.
Actor Zhang Lijuan was evidently shocked as well. She looked desperately at the large screen: “Isn’t this question against the rules?”
But there was no response.
Clearly, the system deemed it still within permissible limits.
Zhang Lijuan could only answer reluctantly, “The ‘Mother’ role I played bears at least 80% or more of the negative responsibility among all the roles played by the actors.”
[Community 11 chooses to pose a question to the entire Audience.]
“Do you believe that, after marriage, Gong Zheng’s lover is genuinely willing to lower their quality of life for him?”
After the questioning, the question was immediately posed.
Huang Shengjie tentatively looked at Qin Cheng: “The answer is… Yes?”
Qin Cheng nodded.
Huang Shengjie quickly made the choice on the screen: “I see, I’ve roughly got it too, although it’s kind of incredible, but… it can only be the truth, right?
“Although Zhang Lijuan’s answer tried to cover up, it still exposed information.”
Zhou Wanlin was still somewhat confused but followed suit in choosing ‘Yes’ as well: “What are you two talking about?”
However, Qin Cheng did not reply.
“There’s little time left, I’ll explain in detail later, I need to complete the necessary operations first.”
But before Qin Cheng could conduct ‘questioning’ and ‘asking’, another broadcast voice emerged.
[Community 17 chooses to pose a question to the entire Audience.]
“Our question is: In the most ideal situation, could Gong Zheng’s Supervisor have prevented issues with Gong Zheng’s house through compliant operations?”
This was another information gap question.
Clearly, most communities chose to pose questions to which only they had the exact answers from their Setting Book.
Because other communities, being uncertain, either gamble on a 50% chance or split their votes, but regardless of the situation, they inevitably fall behind the questioning community that holds the correct answer.
Zhou Wanlin once again looked at Huang Shengjie and Qin Cheng.
In Hu Yingxu’s previous performance, his relationship with Gong Zheng could be summarized as: He failed to immediately help Gong Zheng secure residency and home-buying eligibility but promised it could be attained next year; he personally lent money out of his own pocket during Gong Zheng’s house purchase; he approved Gong Zheng’s long leave and told him to manage private matters at home so as not to impact work.
Arguably, the supervisor’s connection to Gong Zheng’s house was at best indirect, lacking any direct relation.
Yet, the question was asked very definitively, with a prerequisite: ‘In the most ideal situation’.
Because other audience members are uncertain of the Supervisor’s power boundaries within the company—if personal relations were used to help Gong Zheng handle some housing disputes and legal issues, eliminating risks, would this still count as ‘preventing Gong Zheng’s house from having problems through compliant operations’?
The key is, up to this point, they still didn’t know exactly what problems Gong Zheng’s house had encountered.
Without solving the most critical part, it’s difficult to move forward.
Nevertheless, Qin Cheng and Huang Shengjie quickly made their choice.
“Choose ‘No’.”
At this point, only Community 2 hadn’t conducted their questioning and asking yet, and Qin Cheng completed the operation as quickly as possible.
[Community 2 chooses to question the Community 12 actor ‘Li Kan’.]
[Please related players be prepared.]
On the big screen, Li Kan appeared a bit surprised.
Everyone knew Community 2 would surely question an actor, and Li Kan naturally understood, just that he most likely didn’t expect to be questioned himself.
Nevertheless, he maintained a composed demeanor, prepared to respond.
