Chapter 391: Chapter 392 Guest Visits Natural Residence_1

After a long look, Player One had no clue whatsoever. As he saw time slipping away—less than two minutes left of the five-minute rule—he gritted his teeth and immediately chose to concede.

There was no helping it; the longer he dragged it out, the worse it was for him.

Player One was clearly aware of this, so he was already planning to stump Li Changlin with the next couplet.

"This lower couplet is truly difficult to match." As they watched Player One admit defeat, the two judges also murmured to each other.

Although they were professionals, even they couldn’t come up with the matching lower couplet right away.

Because of this, their impression of Li Changlin had completely changed.

Turns out, this kid wasn’t just good at responding; his ability to create couplets was also top-notch!

"Haha, good job, Brother Changlin."

"Awesome, my bro! I had no idea Brother Changlin had such a tactic up his sleeve."

"We really underestimated Brother Changlin before. The upper couplet he put forth could probably make even the professional broadcasters on the platform admit defeat!"

The brothers in the live broadcast room were quite cheery.

Seeing Li Changlin win a line with such ease, everyone was exhilarated.

Endless live streaming platform wasn’t just home to singing and dancing broadcasters. Inside the platform lurked real talent—storytellers, cross-talk performers, couplet challengers, and of course, impression acts were nothing unusual.

The guy from Feixue Legion named A Smear of Pallor, he was an impersonator. He imitated his own brother, and his act was spot-on.

Earlier, someone in the live broadcast room mentioned that someone on the platform specialized in couplet challenges—his screen name was literally "Couplet Specialist." The audacity of his claim!

Back at the scene, having been docked a point by Li Changlin, Player One was truly not willing to accept it.

With a quick thought, he came up with one and declared, "Li Changlin, listen well. My upper couplet is, ’Guests ascend to Natural Residence, as if heaven itself receives them.’

This was an absolute challenge, meant to corner Li Changlin. Player One had really shed all decency.

According to legend, there’s a story about a restaurant called Natural Residence in Jincheng, which enjoyed booming business.

The reason for Natural Residence’s success wasn’t just the chefs’ culinary skills but also a significant gimmick.

It was said that on the right side of the entrance to Natural Residence, an upper couplet was posted. The owner of Natural Residence even promised that anyone who could match it with a lower couplet would have a lifetime of free meals there.

Certainly, this gimmick was a massive hit; Natural Residence had attracted countless people’s attention with this couplet ever since its founding.

And now, to regain the upper hand, Player One went as far as to throw this absolute challenge, which proved he was a bit of a sore loser.

"Damn, I’ve heard of this couplet; it’s supposed to be an absolute challenge."

"This is so low! That upper couplet’s been around for decades, right? No one’s ever matched it, and now Player One is using it to give Li Changlin a hard time."

"What a day! Does Player One have no shame?!"

Since Player One also had a microphone, everyone on and off the stage could hear him loud and clear.

Many had heard of the upper couplet, ’Guests ascend to Natural Residence, as if heaven itself receives them.’

Seeing Player One reveal this absolute challenge immediately sparked public outrage.

However, since Player One had offered this couplet, he must have expected this reaction.

So, despite all the jeers and mocking from the audience, Player One still looked at Li Changlin unfazed, with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth.

This was an absolute challenge, and he did not believe Li Changlin could respond to it.

Sure, if Li Changlin dares to challenge with such a difficult upper couplet, he wouldn’t let him off easily either.

After all, he was a good twenty years older than Li Changlin. While he may not have eaten more than Li Changlin, he’d certainly seen many more couplets.

So at this moment, Player One had made up his mind. For the rest of the match, he would use only absolute challenges to bring Li Changlin down, ensuring his own triumph in the end.

He didn’t consider players four and twelve a threat at all.

Only Li Changlin truly exerted pressure on him.

"This is bad. Brother Changlin might not be able to respond."

"I know this one; it’s the sign from Natural Residence in Jincheng. This time, Brother Changlin really has met his match."

"It’s just that Player One is too shameless, pulling out such a hard-to-match absolute. Damn it!"

"Crap... "

The brothers in the live broadcast room were buzzing with comments; nobody was optimistic about Li Changlin’s chances.

After all, the absolute challenge had existed for more than fifty years.

For so long, even as the owner of Natural Residence changed to the third generation, no one could come up with the lower couplet.

It was incredibly frustrating, giving the brothers a feeling of both oppression and gloom.

If it were any other upper couplet, even if Li Changlin couldn’t match it, he probably wouldn’t be in such a tight spot!

"Brother Changlin, you have to hold on!"

"Honey, you can do it!"

At this moment, Zhou Ziyu and Qian Ziwei were extremely nervous.

The two watched the center of the stage anxiously, their emotions in turmoil.

"Li Changlin, this upper couplet is said to be an absolute challenge, but with your ability, I’m sure you can easily come up with a response. So don’t worry, just take your time to think," Player One said, smiling even more upon hearing the comments from the stage and the audience.

He looked at Li Changlin with a mocking glint in his eyes.

This was an absolute challenge, after all, one with a history of fifty years.

He really didn’t believe Li Changlin could match it.

The upper couplet, ’Guests ascend to Natural Residence, as if heaven itself receives them,’ was, after all, the fruit of the wits of the predecessors.

It’s said that the initial upper couplet written by the owner of Natural Residence was just ’Guests ascend to Natural Residence,’ and that the subsequent line was actually matched by someone else.

However, the lower couplet’s artistic conception wasn’t quite fitting, so after negotiating with the person, the owner of Natural Residence combined both lines into one upper couplet.

This made the deeper meaning and mystery of the upper couplet even more profound.

As a result, this couplet became an absolute challenge that had remained unmatched for fifty years.

"I truly appreciate your confidence." As Li Changlin spoke, he casually picked up the microphone from the table.
