Chapter 173: The Prodigy

Upon hearing this, everyone eagerly poured out the water in their cups. Stepping outside, a variety of expressions quickly appeared on their faces: some looked relieved, others smug, some remained calm, while others looked sullen and dejected.

[What, what is this? Am I seeing things? Both little kids, Suisui and Niannian, actually chose the correct answer!]

[I honestly thought Suisui just guessed blindly, but it turns out he could figure out his own answer and even help his sister choose!]

[No way, is he some kind of child prodigy?]

[What kind of fairy family is this? President Qin and Su Wanning got it right too. The whole family wins!]

In contrast, aside from Tian Boyu, who had better luck, and the more cautious Yin Shanshan, everyone else failed completely.

"The director designed such a perverted question. Who could possibly get this right?"

Feng Rui pouted her lips high, wearing a very dissatisfied expression.

[With her IQ, what question could she ever get right?]

[Does she mean everyone who got it right is a freak? Such a green tea.]

[Can Feng Rui just roll out of the show already? So annoying!]

"I just wanted to come up with a game we haven't played before, something a bit more novel."

Wang Zan offered a brief explanation, then handed out the rewards: three seashells to each winner.

"Now, let's move on to the second round. The difficulty of this round will increase, and the corresponding reward will increase accordingly."

Once Wang Zan finished speaking, the staff replaced everyone's test items with the second set. This time, there were still three colored cups in front of them, but the weight of the water in all three cups was very close to one-fifth.

"The observation time this time is three minutes. Please make good use of it."

As soon as Wang Zan finished speaking, the scene instantly fell silent. No one took it lightly anymore as they had in the first round. Instead, everyone stared intently at those cups with such serious looks in their eyes that it seemed as though they wanted to drill a hole straight through the glass.

The scene was pin-drop silent. Time ticked by second by second until Wang Zan announced that time was up, and the staff mercilessly removed all the cups.

Feng Rui was practically losing her hair from the torture of this game. She was originally just a pretty vase, and joining the show was purely for popularity. She never expected that upon coming here, she would not only have to endure various survival skill tests, but also intelligence tests.

"Director, the questions in this round are so difficult. The number of seashells must be around thirty, right?"

Yin Shanshan asked half-jokingly.

"Prepare to be disappointed. This time the reward is only ten seashells."

However, for those whose pockets were almost entirely empty, the temptation of these ten seashells was still enormous.

Soon, the director presented the choices.

This time, everyone still had ten cups in front of them, featuring three different colors.

However, because the liquid levels in the three colored cups were now nearly identical, the difficulty of making a choice skyrocketed instantly.

[Too perverted, but I love it.]

[I just love watching the guests suffer.]

[This question is seriously too hard. It feels like going back to the college entrance examination!]

This time, Su Wanning was also a bit conflicted. The reference-point method she used earlier was no longer very useful, since the liquid levels in those three cups were so similar that it was almost impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye.

She frowned, observing carefully and intently. Qin Qinshang beside her hesitated for only a few seconds before raising his hand to choose his answer, not even leaning in close to the rim of the cups like the others to examine them one by one.

Sharing Qin Jingchen's casual demeanor was Suisui; both of them took less than half a minute to arrive at their answers.

Having learned his lesson from before, the director kept a special eye on Suisui this time, forbidding him from helping Niannian cheat.

Yet Niannian herself held her ground remarkably well, picking out a few obviously incorrect ones to eliminate, leaving the rest in a row to ponder over.

"Time is up!"

[So nervous, it feels just like waiting for the college entrance exam scores to be released.]

[Do you guys think Suisui can get it right this time?]

[That's really hard to say. Suisui is too smart and always full of surprises.]

[Poor little Niannian has no one to help her this time.]

[Director, there's a huge intelligence gap between adults and children. Can't you give the kids some simpler questions? Is this fair?]

[Are you sick in the head? When the questions were given to the kids, they didn't deliberately increase the difficulty for the adults either.]

"The method for revealing the answers is the same as before. Please reveal the bottoms of your cups yourselves."

Following Wang Zan's voice, the sound of water pouring echoed out. This time, almost everyone was wiped out, except for Suisui, Niannian, and Qin Jingchen.

Everyone was stunned, staring at Su Wanning's family with expressions of sheer disbelief.

Especially Suisui and Niannian.

"These two little darlings are phenomenal! To get such a difficult question right twice in a row, it's terrifying!"

Yu Xin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Indeed, the children are truly clever." Tian Boyu could not help nodding either.

Yin Shanshan took a deep breath and remained silent, wearing a lukewarm smile on her face, while her hand tightly gripped her son Yangyang's shoulder in secret.

Feeling the pressure coming from his mother, Yangyang did not dare to move at all, nor did he dare to cry out in pain. Even though his shoulder felt as if it was about to be crushed, he stubbornly clenched his teeth and endured it until the rims of his eyes turned red.

"Suisui, Niannian, why are you two so smart?" Su Wanning asked, feeling thoroughly shocked herself.

"It's simple." Suisui still maintained his composed demeanor, using just three words to deal another heavy blow to the adults present.

Only Niannian, innocent, lovely, and sincere, said with a beaming smile to Su Wanning, "Mom, actually I didn't know which one was the correct answer just now either, so I just picked a cup at random."

"Really? Then our little Niannian is so lucky! Big brother is very smart too!"

Su Wanning smiled on the surface to encourage the two children, but inwardly she was screaming.

What kind of freakish children are these, possessing such high intelligence? At such a young age, one is brilliant and the other is super lucky—when they grow up, they're probably going to take over the world.

How on earth is she qualified to be the mother of these two kids?

"But President Qin is also amazing. I noticed that when you made your choice just now, you looked very casual, and you answered really quickly."

Yu Xin was standing closest to Su Wanning's family, so naturally, she had observed the most carefully.

At that moment, Yin Shanshan suddenly chimed in, "Yeah, if you ask me, President Qin's whole family has high IQs. You can't help but admire them."

[I wouldn't say that for sure. Didn't Su Wanning drag them down this time?]

[President Qin's family are all geniuses, except for Su Wanning.]

[Su Wanning probably lowered the Qin family's genetic pool.]

[So what? Sister Su raised the Qin family's aesthetic standards!]

Many viewers in the live stream chat voiced minor criticisms because of Yin Shanshan's remarks. Indeed, while the rest of the family neatly answered the questions correctly, Su Wanning had dropped the ball this time.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Jingchen merely gave a faint smile and reached out to stroke the back of Su Wanning's head in a comforting gesture.
