The audience, the staff, and every netizen in front of the screen couldn't help being stunned. None of them could believe it, but it seemed to them that they were going to win completely. When this realization dawned on them, all of them were exalted.

However, their exaltation was short-lived. Fujino and Akita soon noticed the gap and sped up.

Fifteen minutes later... Country R: 80 points, China: 100 points.

Twenty minutes later... Country R: 120 points, China: 125 points.

Half an hour later, Fu Zhi took one last glance at the screen before it went dark again.

Country R: 140 points, China: 120 points!

To everyone's surprise, Fu Zhi and Gu Yan had both started the game on a high note, but they were going downhill now.

Even though no one knew what had happened to Fu Zhi and Gu Yan, it was not difficult for them to figure the whole thing out. Considering their momentum before they had been overtaken by the participants from Country R, everyone speculated that one of them, the better one, must have widened the gap, and the reason they had been thrust into the current situation was that the other was being a drag and had answered many questions wrong.

The audience in the stadium got restless.

Fu Zhi put down the stylus, turned her body sideways, and looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's face was pale, and there was a layer of sweat on her forehead.

The questions in the International Physics Question Bank were ranked differently.

Fu Zhi and Gu Yan had hit the jackpot and had been given a set of questions with "SSS+" difficulty. This set of questions contained the hardest type of questions, and the last two questions were so complex that it would take at least 20 minutes for a professional to answer them.

However, at the same time, the harder a question was, the more points it was worth.

While sitting on her chair, Fu Zhi looked at Gu Yan, who was struggling with the question. Then, without any hesitation, she went forward and took the stylus out of Gu Yan's hand.

"You, get out of here," she said, her voice forceful.

Gu Yan turned her head around and felt as if someone was clutching her heart when she locked eyes with Fu Zhi.

A hint of disgust flitted across her face as she said coldly, "Are you insane? How are we going to win if I get off the stage now? Can't you see that we're being overtaken by them? This would not have happened if you had not answered so many questions wrong, yet now you ask me to get out of here? Do you want everyone to laugh at us?"

The score of each person in a team was not displayed separately. Therefore, she decided to blame Fu Zhi the moment she saw her.


Fu Zhi squinted her eyes. She took a look at the time, and her gaze grew grimmer with every passing second. In the end, she decided not to tolerate Gu Yan anymore and spoke through the microphone. "Referee, take Gu Yan away."

The referee was stunned. However, when he saw Sheng Hua nodding at him from not far away, he still went up to Gu Yan and said, "Ms. Gu, please don't make things difficult for us."

They were going to lose, but Gu Yan could not accept being regarded as a loser. While she was walking down the staircase, she turned to Fu Zhi and hissed, "You will be sorry if we lose this round!"

Then, she turned around and left.

Pressing her lips firmly, Fu Zhi went back to her seat. She scanned the questions, and her hand started sweating.
