The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 242

She was the one who said that she would rather abstain if she was in a group with Charles. She glanced at Sophia, and then at Charles not far away. With a slight frown, she said, “I… I have a pain in my stomach. I can’t do this anymore. I need to have a rest.”

“Wait a minute; I have to ask the director about it,” said Clarence.

He went backstage, and the recording paused. Soon, he came out and said, “We have no right to restrict your freedom. Well, you can take a break backstage.”

The girl was relieved, walked out of the stage, and went straight backstage.

The audience whispered.

“She must have chickened out when she saw Sophia.”

“Nonsense. Who wouldn’t chicken out in the face of Sophia? Do you dare to challenge her? It’s a waste of Time to play against her. You can’t win anyway, so you might as well have a rest. If I’m one of them, I’ll just cheer her on. I don’t care if I’m with her or not.”

“Yeah, right. The contestants in the red team are so lucky that they are doomed to win with Sophia with them.”

At this point, Charles raised his hand and said, “This is not fair! There are seven of them, but only six of us. Six to seven… How unfair!”

Clarence thought about it and said, “Yeah… Do the other contestants have any ideas?”

He walked to a blue contestant and asked him. The contestant said with a wooden face, “It has nothing to do with the number of people. I don’t mind.”

Another contestant whispered, “He spoke as if we could win with ten more people. Oh, what a trouble maker! I envy the girl who abstained first. I should have abstained first.”

Had it not been for the suspicion of the following suit, he would have gone.

Molly suddenly raised her hand, “If he thinks it’s unfair, I won’t talk or answer any questions. You can think there are six of us. But, if we win, I have to get the prize.”

Clarence smiled, “Well… I can’t make the decision. Give me a moment. I have to talk to the crew.”

Clarence was also upset by the number of accidents. He went backstage again and came out to announce, “We’ve made the decision. Molly is allowed to withdraw from the competition, but she’s still part of the red team. If the red team wins, she can enjoy the same treatment as her teammates, get the prize and advance to the second round.”

Molly left the stage with a smile. When she passed the contestant next to her, she heard his voice, “Smart girl! You leave because you know we will win. Well, we have to stay on the stage. But there’s no difference between onstage and offstage.”

Molly raised her chin, “Right. With the Boss here, everyone knew the result of the game. Okay. I’ll go to the auditorium and cheer you on.”

The seven-on-seven game became six-on-six, but it didn’t affect the enthusiasm of the audience.

“Molly is funny… I think the other five contestants can also quit. Sophia can do it alone.”

“Ha, ha… They can give the championship to Sophia.”

“Sophia is the bug of the game. Maybe no show will invite her. With her there, the whole show couldn’t go on. Suspense is the key part of the quiz show. Advertisements often preceded the announcement of the answer to increasing the suspense… But there is no suspense in the show.”

“Sophia is a bug with strength. Why wouldn’t they let her on?”

“Not only would they not let her on the show, but they also would not even let her be a spectator. It’s not fair to her, but it’s fair to other contestants.”

“Sophia doesn’t even care about it. She’s not short of the prize. Besides, she has Mr. Pearson. Speaking of which, was it Mr. Pearson, who raised the prize money? Oh, god! What the hell did I find out?”

Sophia’s fans were horrible, Albert thought.

Then, Clarence announced that the game was officially on.

There were three rounds of the dual meet: required questions, answering in turns, and quick responses. The team with a higher score won.

When the game officially began, Clarence announced the rules for the required questions, “In this part, each team is randomly assigned a question. Any contestant on the team can answer it. The right answer will earn the team one point. The wrong answer won’t make the team lose any point, but it will lose the right to answer it, and the other team will get it. Still, the point rule is the same. If neither team can give the correct answer, the question will be invalid.”

As soon as the host finished speaking, a contestant next to Sophia got close to Sophia and whispered, “With you, how could there be invalid questions? Come on, Sophia! We’re counting on you.”

Wasn’t it six to six?

After the rule was announced, they began to answer questions.

“Red team, listen. This is a literature question. Through which three characters did Les Miserables vividly reproduce a hell on earth?”

As he spoke, all the reds looked to Sophia.

Everyone expected the scene.

Sophia said, “Jean Valjean, Fantine, and Cosette.”

She learned it and remembered it well.

Clarence announced, “Correct answer! One point for the red team! Let’s move on. The question for the blue team is still a literature question. In which three places does the story of Red and Black mainly take place?”

The contestants in the blue team seemed confused, as if they didn’t hear what he said.

Clarence frowned. He wanted to answer the question but didn’t know the answer. He could not help asking, “This one is more difficult than theirs, right? I know the answer to the last question, but who knows this one?”

As he finished, all eyes were on Sophia.

Was she the only one that everyone cared about? She was just one of them.

“Time’s up. The blue team couldn’t give an answer. So it’s your turn, Red. Is there anyone who can answer this question?” said Clarence.

Sophia was not surprised to find that everyone was staring at her.

She had to say, “Villiers, Bezanne Seminary, and Marquis de L’amour.”

“Correct answer! One point for red,” said Clarence.

The red team was two points ahead of the blue at the start, but nobody was surprised.

“It’s just a literary idiom. Charles blamed the difficulty of the question for his inability to answer it. But why didn’t the other players answer it? Someone should know the answer. It’s not difficult.”

“Can’t you see? They’ve given up trying. They can’t win anyway. Only the scumbag is still trying to win. But with his strength, that’s impossible.”

“The blue is clever. They know they can’t beat Sophia and just give up.”

Most of the audience were Sophia’s fans, who always called Charles “scumbag.”
