Chapter 104: There seems to be no chance of winning
As a gossipy cat, Xie Wenyu’s greatest pleasure during his rest time is to check out the trending searches.
He clearly remembered that the last time he saw a love rumor involving MissYou Ou Xiwen, the name of the male celebrity in the rumor was three characters!
Ji Mufeng frowned and questioned. "That's not right. The last time I saw it, the name was two characters, but it was different from the surname of the person listed here..."
"She probably bought these hot searches. Black and red is also red. She's probably following the black and red path." Lu Jingyan lazily held a beef stick in his mouth.
He was not interested in other people's gossip, but was very concerned about Su Yinian's affairs. He poked Li Zisu's arm with his elbow.
"I always hear you mention that Little C has a twin sister, so what's her sister's name?"
Li Zisu was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly asked a question.
"I have no idea……"
He scratched his head in confusion, and recalled carefully that he seemed to have never taken the initiative to ask Su Yinian what his sister's name was!
For a while.
Five gazes were all fixed on Su Yinian.
Su Yinian was under great pressure and said cautiously, "Call me Su Yinian."
Before the five people raised their questions.
She added: “It was an accident.”
Suddenly, Xie Wenyu blurted out: "So my sister's accident was because of her name?"
Li Zisu/Jiang Xiubai/Ji Mufeng/Lu Jingyan: “?”
Su Yinian: “!!!”
Su Yinian had an epiphany!
"Hey, little C, he's telling a joke, you're not really believing it, are you?"
Lu Jingyan looked at Su Yinian's sparkling eyes and suddenly found it funny. He raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his knuckles.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. The word 'yi' can also be formed into 'ruyi'."
As soon as he changed his words, his eyes fell on the writing board. "Let's get back to the topic. According to the competition rules, participating groups can freely choose to defend or challenge. What do you think we should choose?"
"The defending team will be given priority to appear. In theory, they will have a certain chance of not being challenged."
Jiang Xiubai said calmly: "According to the competition rules, if the defender successfully defends the ring, he will receive 5% of the extra votes from the audience, and if the challenger successfully challenges the ring, he will receive 8% of the extra votes from the audience. The chances are that more teams will choose to be challengers than defenders."
"But failing in a challenge or defending the title will also result in losing the same number of votes as if you succeeded. Ah, it's so complicated. It feels like this is no longer a simple competition. In addition to strength, you also have to rely on your brains!" Li Zisu held his head in his hands in frustration and sighed.
"We might as well write down all the possible scenarios."
Su Yinian thought and put pen to paper.
"If one group defends and five groups challenge, if we are the defenders, we have zero chance of winning..."
"Two teams defending, four teams challenging. If we are the defenders, we still have zero chance of winning..."
"Three groups are defending, and three groups are challenging. If we are the defenders, our chances of winning are less than half."
"Four teams are defending the ring, and two teams are challenging. If we are the defending team, we theoretically have a chance to get a bye, but since we are a soft target in the eyes of the other teams, we are bound to be challenged, so... we only have a small chance of winning."
"Five groups defending the ring, one group challenging, the result is the same as the fourth possibility, the probability of winning can be slightly improved."
"If all six groups choose defenders or challengers, a free-for-all will begin according to the show rules. The champion ranked first will receive 8% of all extra votes, while the other groups will have their 8% deducted... ahem, to be on the safe side, I think it's safer to choose to be the challenger."
After crossing out all the options after giving many examples, Su Yinian coughed twice in embarrassment and wrote the team name behind the challenger.
"Captain, can we really create an original song that can beat other teams in two weeks?" Li Zisu asked weakly.
Why is it that the more he listens to Su Yinian's analysis, the more he feels that the future of these six people is worrying?
Su Yinian groaned and fell into deep thought.
"Let me think about it." She said.
I thought about this for three days.
After returning from the gym, Lu Jingyan and Ji Mufeng, with towels draped over their shoulders and clothes in their hands, walked towards the bath center. They happened to run into Su Yinian, who looked like a wandering soul, in the stairwell.
To call him a wandering soul is an understatement. He has a pair of tired and lifeless eyes, surrounded by dark circles like a giant panda. Su Yinian hunched his shoulders, his hands hung limply, and his feet seemed to be floating.
"Wow, you have dark circles under your eyes, little C position, you didn't sleep last night again, did you?"
Lu Jingyan looked at Su Yinian in astonishment as he raised his pair of bloodshot eyes. She slowly turned her head with a dazed look and stared at him, as if trying to identify who he was.
"Where's the cat?"
When she opened her mouth, her voice was extremely hoarse, as if she was a hundred-year-old zombie that had just crawled out of a cemetery, persistently looking for a target, and that was Xie Wenyu.
"Wasn't he in the creative classroom with you before?" Ji Mufeng asked puzzledly.
These days, Su Yinian and Xie Wenyu have been confined to the creative classroom, determined to create an earth-shattering original song.
To others, it seemed like these two people were possessed. They moved all the bedding in the dormitory into the classroom and bought boxes of instant coffee.
She declined all visits and placed her meals on the table outside the classroom. When they were hungry, they would get them themselves. To be honest, this was the first time that Lu Jingyan and Ji Mufeng had seen her since Su Yinian had been in seclusion.
You see, these few days of closed-door creation have made Su Yinian so tired that he even shortened Xie Wenyu's name to just a nickname.
Ji Mufeng pursed his lips, looked at Su Yinian with a distressed expression, and said softly: "We didn't see Xie Wenyu, but we can be sure that he is not in the dormitory."
Su Yinian thanked him and walked away with swaying steps, his back looking lonely and desolate.
Ji Mufeng and Lu Jingyan looked at each other, and followed tacitly, feeling uneasy.
On the other side, in the convenience store, Li Zisu and Jiang Xiubai each held a box of oden and sat side by side in their old seats facing the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Even though Su Yinian was not there this time, the seat between the two of them was left empty as usual.
Li Zisu lay listlessly on the table, muttering: "The steamed dumplings delivered this morning were still on the small table when I went to deliver food at noon. Even if I am absorbed in creation, I cannot skip meals. How can my body bear it..."
"I drank the rice porridge that was sent to me, but maybe the dumplings were not to my taste. We'll buy some oden and send them over after we finish eating."
Jiang Xiubai said this as he stood up and was about to go to the counter to buy two more servings of oden.
"Snapped!"
A dark shadow suddenly lay on the glass. Li Zisu was frightened and turned his head to look, then let out a scream.
“Zombies!”
Amid Li Zisu's soul-stirring screams, the 'zombie' lying on the glass staggered into the convenience store.
Under the clerk's surprised gaze, the 'zombie' pounced on Jiang Xiubai...the oden on the table.
