From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 378: The Battle of Wits (2)

Upon reading this, Jian Yumin’s fans immediately retorted:

[The treasure chest hasn’t even been opened yet. The show only says that the contents of the chest belong to who opens the chest. They never said that the chest belongs to whoever sees it first okay?]

[Yeah, that’s right! You have to open it first before you say something like that!]

[How long has Mo Shiyun even been standing there? If you can’t open it, give someone else a go.]

However, Mo Shiyun’s fans continued to defend her:

[Of course, we’ll open the chest. We’re just worried that some people have bad manners. What if a certain group just grabs the chest from Shiyun’s hands?]

[Only one guest managed to open a reasoning question treasure chest in the last episode! And that guest was Mo Shiyun! Do you guys remember that?]

The fans began to argue on the Internet.

However, Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling didn’t plan to fight over the treasure chest. They decided to let Mo Shiyun have her go first. Instead, the two siblings sat down on a nearby rock.

Jian Yumin took out an orange that he had grabbed before they left. He started to peel the orange for Jian Yiling.

They had gotten the fruit from opening a treasure chest. No one else had fruits.

The siblings looked quite relaxed. It didn’t appear as though they were in a hurry to answer the question.

Upon seeing this, Jian Yumin’s fans immediately called out to Mo Shiyun’s fans:

[Do you see that? Minyu doesn’t plan to fight over the treasure chest!]

[The way he peeled the orange for his sister was so cute! Who said that he couldn’t find a girlfriend?]

[I want to steal Minyu! I want to steal his sister as well!]

Although Mo Shiyun’s face did not appear anxious, her heart was quite worried.

The question was focused on reasoning.

There was a lot of information that was given. You needed to find useful information amongst all the useless information. Furthermore, you had to use your reasoning to obtain the final password.

In the last episode, Mo Shiyun managed to crack one of these questions.

At that time, the viewers were impressed by her intelligence. They marveled over the fact that she was both good-looking and smart.

But this time, after reading the question, Mo Shiyun pondered for a long time. However, she still could not come up with the right answer.

Her mind was a mess. She had no idea how to solve the question.

Mo Huiqin could not understand such a question. And thus, she could only wait patiently for her daughter to solve the question.

As time passed, the viewers began to express their impatience:

[Can Mo Shiyun answer the question or not? If she can’t answer the question, let someone else try the question. Is she just going to stand there and not leave?]

[Yeah, she’s been standing there for such a long time already. Just forget about it. It’s okay if you don’t know how to solve the question.]

[Didn’t she claim to be a high IQ goddess in the last episode? What’s wrong with her now? If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself to stand there. There’s no point in doing that.]

Once again, Mo Shiyun’s fans refused to accept such comments:

[Do you live by the ocean or something? Why do you care about everything? The production team never specified a time limit to answer questions. Why do you care about how long she’s taking to solve the puzzle?]

[What’s wrong with taking longer to solve the question? Is she in your way or something? If you don’t like watching Shiyun, then leave.]

[Certain fans are saying nasty things in order to give their idol a chance to open the treasure chest. It’s as though you’re not giving Shiyun any time to solve the question.]

After another five minutes, Mo Shiyun still hadn’t solved the puzzle. She had tried several passwords. However, all of those answers were wrong.

And thus, Mo Shiyun had to give up.

She couldn’t waste her time on a treasure chest that she couldn’t open. If she did that, not only would she fail to open this chest, but she would also miss out on the other treasure chests.

Furthermore, Mo Shiyun didn’t want the audience to see her foolishly attempting to open a chest.

And thus, Mo Shiyun left. As she passed by Jian Yumin and Jian Yiling, her eyes lingered on Jian Yiling for a moment.
