Ever since the supervisor announced the answer, Cheng Weicai had kept his head lowered, his fists clenched tight.

When those screams rang out, his head dropped even lower, his fists clenched even tighter, his thin body trembling uncontrollably…

He was repenting.

He had subconsciously chosen the subject he was best at, but momentarily forgot that everyone else on the field were young people! These people weren’t familiar with classical poetry at all!

If anyone died because of this, it would be equivalent to… him indirectly killing them!

The metal chairs slowly rotated back. The people on the chairs had vanished again, leaving only the messy bloodstains on the chairs and the scratched claw marks, allowing people to vaguely sense the terror after death.

“I’m sorry…” Cheng Weicai’s old tears streamed down his face as he kept his head lowered, not daring to look up. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“Ah, it’s fine, Old Cheng…” Tan Xiao consoled him heartlessly. “If it were me, I would also choose the subject I’m good at! What’s there to be sorry about!”

Cheng Weicai kept his head down, eyes closed, his heart pounding with dull pain like hammer blows!

Lucky Q&A—the spinning pointer brought good fortune to those selected, but at the same time, it also brought doom to those who weren’t selected!

It was him who had caused the death of those five people!

He had been conscientious and honest all his life, never even speaking a bad word about anyone! But now, he had indirectly ended five lives!!!

Cheng Weicai was so guilt-ridden he couldn’t contain himself. He seemed to age instantly, every wrinkle on his face revealing deep grief and sorrow.

Bai Youwei leaned forward, looking at Cheng Weicai past Tan Xiao.

Having spent so much time together, she naturally understood what kind of person Cheng Weicai was. Precisely because of this, she was even more worried. In this current situation, if his mental state approached collapse, it would severely affect his ability to answer questions.

What if the pointer pointed to him again next time? Teacher Cheng must not let his sympathy overflow and deliberately choose a subject panel he wasn’t good at to let others pass! Compared to poetry and literature, common knowledge, food, and clothing were relatively easier subjects to score points on.

Wait…

Bai Youwei’s heart stirred. A subject panel he wasn’t good at…

At this moment, Shen Mo, sitting to her left, spoke up: “Teacher Cheng is old and tends to get stuck in dead ends.”

Bai Youwei turned to look at him.

Shen Mo also hadn’t answered correctly just now, losing 1 point. His current score was 1.

She thought for a moment and asked Shen Mo, “If it were you, what subject would you choose?”

Shen Mo’s gaze lingered on the slowly rotating subject panels as he said calmly, “I’d probably choose common knowledge.”

“Common knowledge…” Bai Youwei seemed thoughtful.

Lu Ang, the rough and gruff man sitting to Shen Mo’s left, chimed in: “That’s right! Choose common knowledge. Common knowledge is knowledge that most people know! It’s fairer to everyone. Choosing those literature, music, art… blah blah blah subjects—they’re too specialized! Any random question could kill everyone!”

“Lu Ang, you pig!” Li Li cursed at him from across the way. “No matter how common the common knowledge questions are, how many could you get right out of 36 consecutive common knowledge questions?! The correct approach is to choose specialized subjects you’re good at! Right, Brother Yan?”

Lu Ang cursed back at him: “Specialized, my ass! I don’t have any points left!”

Just now, Cheng Weicai’s poetry question had only killed 5 people, but it caused almost all the players on the field to lose 1 point. Lu Ang was now at 0 points!

If the next question was another highly specialized subject, all the players with 0 points would have no points to deduct and would quickly be eliminated!

Bai Youwei looked around. There were still 20 people left on the field. Starting from number 1: Pan Xiaoxin 2 points, Teacher Cheng 2 points, Tan Xiao 0 points, herself 2 points, Shen Mo 1 point, Lu Ang 0 points, Yan Qingwen 2 points, Zhu Shu 1 point… Li Li 1 point.

The people without points totaled…
