Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Self-deprecation_1

Who knows what’s the deal with this player number twelve.

Could it be that he is also a member of the Home of Changlin?

Speaking of which, Li Changlin was also quite looking forward to it!

If the other party turned out to be a member of the Home of Changlin too, that would be really interesting.

"I know everyone must be very curious, and perhaps even Mr. Li himself has already forgotten this point." At this moment, the number twelve player spoke up again, holding the microphone with both hands and excitedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you may not know, but during the semifinals, the eighth question that I answered, Mr. Li had already figured it out. Maybe he saw my expression, so he chose to give up responding and let me have the opportunity."

In the midst of high anticipation, the number twelve player revealed a secret.

This secret was indeed astonishing; nobody had expected that during the semifinals, Li Changlin would actually give up answering and instead let someone else have the chance.

"So it was that." Li Changlin was slightly startled before he suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, this number twelve player had perceived it, which was indeed a bit strange.

"I know everyone must be very curious about why I knew it was Mr. Li who gave up responding, thus granting me the opportunity." The number twelve player knew his statement was surprising, so he went on to explain the situation at that time in detail.

It turned out that while he was trying to answer the couplet, he was indeed very conflicted in his heart.

And because Li Changlin was sitting right beside him, the number twelve player was even more worried that Li Changlin would beat him to the punch.

After all, he hadn’t been able to answer a single question at that time!

So, the number twelve player pondered while slightly turning his head to glance at Li Changlin.

And it was for this reason that Li Changlin clearly saw the conflict on the face of player number twelve.

At that time, the number twelve player saw clearly that Li Changlin’s hand was already on the microphone.

But for some reason, in the end, Li Changlin withdrew his hand.

Initially, the number twelve player thought maybe Li Changlin hadn’t completely figured out the response, but after Li Changlin chose not to participate in subsequent answers, the number twelve player realized that it wasn’t because Li Changlin couldn’t respond. He had chosen to give more people a chance.

If it wasn’t for this reason, with Li Changlin’s abilities, the following couplets, which were not very difficult, why wouldn’t he be able to answer them?

With Li Changlin’s capability, having answered all of Natural Residence’s couplets, the number twelve player naturally didn’t believe that Li Changlin couldn’t respond to those posed by Elder Gu and the others.

From this, player number twelve made his firm determination that Li Changlin did indeed give up his chance for him.

He was someone who knew gratitude, which is why he chose to disclose this matter before the match.

"The very purpose of this event is to have fun with the people. You were able to answer on your own ability, there’s no need to thank me for anything," finally, Li Changlin spoke and smiled, nodding towards player number twelve.

"Regardless, if Mr. Li hadn’t given me the opportunity at that time, I couldn’t possibly be standing here." The number twelve player knew this for himself, and although what Li Changlin said was correct, it wouldn’t make him arrogant.

After a pause, the number twelve player continued, "I know that I can’t possibly be Mr. Li’s opponent, but I will still do my best, and I hope Mr. Li won’t give way anymore. After all, there can only be one champion."

"Don’t worry, I will also do my best." This was an opponent worthy of respect. Although Li Changlin had no comment on player number twelve’s bid, in terms of face, he still gave the necessary respect.

It’s not that Li Changlin is being hypocritical, but with the System in hand, there might not be anyone in the world who could be his opponent.

So he too had the capital to be proud of himself, and with player number twelve hoping that Li Changlin won’t give way anymore, at this final showdown, naturally, he wouldn’t hold back.

However, Li Changlin would definitely not take out those classic couplets.

After all, player number twelve’s abilities were evident. At this point, he clearly wasn’t yet at the level that would require Li Changlin to go all out.

The two exchanged a few more words, and then the competition officially began.

Li Changlin had one more point than player number twelve, and according to the rules, it was his turn to pose the question.

Thinking it over, since it was the first question, there was no need to start with a difficult one, so Li Changlin posed the couplet ’The wind gentle and clouds thin tend towards fury’.

This couplet wasn’t difficult, and with player number twelve’s level, after just two minutes of thought, he came up with ’Where the spring is high and water abundant, it flows on its own.’

The response had a proper structure, and thus all five judges unanimously approved, giving player number twelve one point.

Then, player number twelve posed ’Misty fog obscures the flowers, alone how shall I spend my days growing old?’

Li Changlin immediately responded with ’In the clear breeze and intoxicating moon, all alone I pluck the strings and sing to my wine.’

Speaking of which, Li Changlin’s response speed was naturally faster than that of player number twelve.

However, as per the rules, Li Changlin couldn’t earn extra points for this, so he too received one point.

As for this, he was not concerned at all.

However, Li Changlin’s speed of answering still shocked all five judges and player number twelve.

Truth be told, after player number twelve posed his couplet, the judges hadn’t reacted yet.

Although they were professionals, their expertise was nothing compared to Li Changlin’s.

Each gaining one point, they then started posing questions back and forth.

Compared to Li Changlin, player number twelve could definitely not be a match.

Even though Li Changlin hadn’t posed very difficult couplets, after a few rounds, player number twelve still lost two points.

Having lost two points and Li Changlin answering two questions correctly, that put a four-point difference between them.

Seeing it was his turn to pose again, player number twelve hesitated slightly, then seemed to make a difficult decision, gritting his teeth.

Then, holding the microphone he said, "Mr. Li, your strength is truly admirable. If I were to compete against you with my level, I would certainly be doomed to lose."

This was a big truth, putting aside everything else, the disparity in points between the two had already made it clear.

"You’re also very good, don’t belittle yourself," Li Changlin responded with a smile.

He guessed that player number twelve was about to play his trump card. But with the System at his disposal, Li Changlin wasn’t overly concerned, so he appeared very calm.
