She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Chapter 134 The Variety Show Ends

Tang Li, who was watching the live stream, excitedly patted her younger brother on the back: "Look!!! This is my roommate, isn't she beautiful and strong?"

The younger brother dodged her clutches and said, "Yes, yes, but could you please stop hitting me? It hurts."

Tang Li ignored him and directly posted the screenshot she had just saved in the group chat.

Unconscious room (4)

Tang Li: @Jiang Lai [Screenshot][Screenshot]

Tang Li: I've saved Jiang Jiang's stunning beauty.

Tang Li: Do I love you very much?

Zhao Ying: Ahhhh, don't even mention it! Our Jiang Jiang can rattle off numbers like a robot the moment she opens her mouth, so cool! My parents and I watched it together, and they couldn't believe it.

Li Xiangyue: I feel like we won.

Tang Li: Definitely!

The viewers in the live stream shared the same thought.

—The Imperial Capital University is visibly fast, fast and strong.

—Is this the same old story? Imperial University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and USTC? The top three are definitely these three.

—To be honest, the others were also very strong; I've finally witnessed the disparity in human intelligence.

—Students from Imperial University came to cheer on their seniors.

As the first team to finish the competition, all the contestants from Teito University sat back down in the audience.

Zhou Yunyun grabbed Jiang Lai's hand, her palms damp. She patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness! I was so worried I'd be a burden!"

She was trembling with nervousness. "Thank goodness!"

Jiang Lai comforted her, taking her arm and saying, "Relax, senior, we did quite well!"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, at least we didn't embarrass the school, and the teachers didn't scold us."

Chen Shuo relaxed completely at this moment and even had the mood to tease the contestant on stage: "Hey, he's covered in sweat, it makes you nervous just looking at him."

"You're not saying this on stage just now?" Lin Yi's gaze fell on the big screen, where time was ticking away second by second.

"Want to take a gamble?" Lin Yi asked. "Baidu University or USTC?"

The other three shook their heads. It was obvious that Huada was going to take the lead. What was there to be surprised about? Why gamble?

—Could you add another event for the students from Imperial University? They seem so relaxed chatting away.

—I couldn't agree more! It's outrageous! While others are still competing, they're chatting and laughing down there.

—As a student from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, I agree. I can't stand seeing students from Beijing University having it so easy (doge emoji).

After a while, the teams from BGI and USTC also finished their competitions, and another group of people sat together chatting in the audience.

As a member of the community, Chen Shuo immediately pulled the other teams into the chat.

Tao Qi sat in front of Jiang Lai, then twisted his body to the back, looking at her expectantly: "Why aren't you the third runner?"

Jiang Lai shook her finger, "Because my greatest strength isn't calculation!"

Tao Qi said dejectedly, "I lost."

Jiang Lai patted his head: "When I was your age, I wasn't as good as you, and neither was anyone else, so you didn't lose~"

Tao Qi clearly didn't believe him: "Really?"

"Of course!"

Qu Su, watching Jiang Lai and Tao Qi's interaction from behind, chimed in, "It's only natural that I, who am so strong, would lose to me. Don't be sad, little one."

Tao Qi's face fell again.

Jiang Lai stared at him speechlessly.

Qu Su made a zipping motion with his mouth.

I wonder when these people will finally realize there's a security camera nearby.

—So funny! So funny! Even top students are quite cute in private!

—Jiang Lai: I just calmed you down, are you alright?

—To be honest, the love-hate relationship between Imperial University and Huazhong University is still quite endearing.

—USTC: Should I leave?

—Little brother Tao Qi, don't be sad. You're still young. When you grow up, you'll be even stronger than your older brothers and sisters.

A long time passed, and all the teams on stage had finished their challenges. The host then invited all the contestants to come up on stage.

Shi Lan looked directly into the camera: "Now it's time for us to announce the results! According to the competition rules, we'll start with the last team to finish!"

"First stage, time taken..." "Second stage, time taken..." "Third stage..." "Fourth stage! Challenge not completed! But based on the number of numbers memorized, the score is—"

—No suspense at all

—This ranking is almost entirely based on the order in which the competitions were completed!

—Actually, BGI and USTC are only a tiny bit apart, which is a real pity.

—No, both Huada and Imperial College must be in the top two. I absolutely cannot accept anyone cutting in between them.

As the viewers in the live stream predicted, Beijing University came in first and Huaqiao University came in second.

The host interspersed some activities and conversations before the program ended.

Shi Lan: "Congratulations to Imperial Capital University for achieving first place! As planned, our next episode will be a special feature on Imperial Capital University..."

"We also hope everyone will continue to follow our program—"

—That's it? Wow, that was fast!

—I felt these live streams were quite interesting; maybe it's because we chose the right people—young, smart, and good-looking.

—Is that all? I just watched it today. Is there a replay? I want to watch the matches from the first two days.

—This is a live broadcast, but there will be an edited version on TV in a couple of days, which you can watch then.

—Yay! Let's watch it again!!

......

On Wednesday night at 8:30 pm, the edited version of "Brain Battle" aired on satellite TV as scheduled.

This time slot coincides with the prime time of summer vacation, so the ratings are quite good.

The edited program was shorter than the live broadcast, but it contained all the highlights, and was almost entirely high-energy, captivating the attention of everyone watching on TV.

With many students at home on holiday, and this being a program suitable for all ages, it quickly sparked online discussions. Coupled with deliberate hype from investors, it also made it onto several trending topics.

How strong is the human memory?

How fast can one perform mental arithmetic?

Why are other people's children so smart?

"The Distance Between Us and Top Students"

Some people focus on the contestants' intelligence, while others focus on their looks.

"I really like Tao Qi, he's so cute!"

"It's obvious that Imperial University has selected its most handsome contestants! All four are so good-looking!"

"Our school's most handsome guy was eliminated in the first round!"

A roundup of campus beauties and hunks from various universities~

Besides these, many contestants have their own hashtags, such as "Brainpower Showdown Jiang Lai", "Brainpower Showdown Qu Su", and "Brainpower Showdown Tao Qi", and many of their social media accounts have gained a lot of followers.

The production team then launched several special episodes for college students, and Douyin invited the contestants who participated in the recording of this program to verify their accounts on Douyin and put them all in the learning section.

This surge in popularity has significantly boosted the learning section, leading to a surge in videos introducing learning methods, various university vlogs, and numerous official accounts releasing lecture videos by renowned scholars and teachers from their respective universities.

Jiang Lai truly benefited from this wave of popularity. Her previous incident with Lin Yinchuan became a trending topic, attracting a wave of fans, and the broadcast of the show attracted another group of fans.

Everyone is praising her as beautiful, strong, and straightforward.

-

On this day, Jiang Lai did a live broadcast for the first time in a long time.

—Oh my? That's rare!

—Hahaha, the sister upstairs is being sarcastic.

—Does this woman even remember she has fans? She hasn't shown up for so long.

—They just finished recording a show, please be understanding.

Jiang Lai was alone in her dorm room, so she turned on her microphone to greet everyone, "Hello everyone, it's been a long time! I've been very busy for a while, but now I finally have some free time to meet you all!"

—You know it's been a long time, huh?

—Waaaaah, my darling, you've become even more beautiful!

—I've watched Brain Challenge countless times, and Lai Lai is just too amazing in it!

—Have you watched the program yourself?

—What's your relationship with Qu Su now? I'm so curious qwq?

—Another day unrelated to me as a voice enthusiast. By the way, "If We Were to Bloom in Two Places" is quite good, and Lai Lai's voice is very distinctive.

......

Lin Yinchuan sat on the sofa, casually fiddling with his phone.

His agent walked in, glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong? No inspiration?"

"No, I'm tired, I need to rest." Lin Yinchuan continued scrolling through his phone and happened to come across Jiang Lai's live stream.

"Hey, isn't this the girl you stood up for?" The manager leaned over, saw Jiang Lai's face on the screen, clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Her looks are really stunning."

Lin Yinchuan raised his eyelids slightly: "So?"

The agent placed the documents he was holding on the coffee table. "What do you think about me going to talk to them?"

"Hmm?" Lin Yinchuan asked his agent, "What do you mean?"

"Let's talk about this girl. After she became a trending topic that day, I looked her up. She has a clean background, good conduct, and is an excellent student. If she were an artist, she would be the kind of person who would have a very hard time having her career ruined."

"Besides, she's not a complete novice. Didn't I tell you before that she does voice acting? It turns out she also sang OSTs for web dramas. There was also a director who was quite optimistic about her, but she didn't accept the offer because she felt she couldn't act."

Where did you get so much information?

"If I don't even know this much, what kind of agent am I, and what kind of person am I in the entertainment industry?"

"She has a great voice and dances well. She even did a cover of your dance, you know? She could be a great idol even if she wasn't a singer. I think she has potential. There aren't many people who are both good-looking and talented!" The manager said, "I really want to give her a try. By the way, isn't she a fan of yours? Maybe she'll agree to join our company because of you? These days, don't fans all want to get close to their idols?"

Lin Yinchuan chuckled, "She's a top student with a bright future, why would she want to enter the entertainment industry? Besides, it's not even certain if she's still my fan!"

The agent scratched his head: "Yeah, that's true! But her appearance and voice are quite suitable for the female lead in your music video, aren't they? Why don't you give her a try?"

Lin Yinchuan knew immediately that the manager was still dreaming of bringing her under his wing, but he didn't expose him. He just said, "This song is about first love in school. Her qualifications do fit the image of the female lead in my music video, but can she really come?"

The agent patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me. How will you know if you don't try?"

Lin Yinchuan was indifferent: "Whatever you say."

-

Looking at the barrage of comments, Jiang Lai said helplessly, "Slow down, I can't see your questions."

"As you all know, I've been busy recording the show, so I haven't had time to go live." Jiang Lai took out her tablet: "Let's do a reaction video today! Even if you haven't watched Brain Battle, you can join in!"

The live stream was divided into two screens: one showing Jiang Lai, and the other showing "Brainpower Showdown".

"I haven't watched it myself yet, but I'll watch it with everyone. Qu Su? He's a very strong opponent!" Jiang Lai hugged an ice cream tub, eating while watching and answering fans' questions.

“We actually get along quite well in private,” Jiang Lai said. “You guys saw the trending topic before, right? About the thing where Brother Lin helped me. Actually, I went out to dinner with Qu Su and the others that day.”

—You still need to be careful!

—Hugs, baby. It would have been so dangerous if Lin Yinchuan hadn't helped!

—Sisters are all the same, be extra careful when you're out and about.

—Will you play games or appear on screen together with SuSu again? I ship you two as a couple. QuSu is handsome and smart, you two are a perfect match, right?

—Could the person upstairs be Qu Su himself??

—I'm dying of laughter

—I really like Lai Lai's campus vlog. She also made a very detailed introduction to Beijing University before. It's just a pity that I am from the neighboring Foreign Languages ​​University. Otherwise, she would like to come and visit our school sometime!

—Shouldn't Huada University be the first to go?

—Speaking of which, could you and Qu Su record a video together? You can introduce Huabei University, and Qu Su can talk about Imperial University.

Jiang Lai is now a well-known streamer on Douyin. Her path is different from others. There are no conflicts among her fans. On the contrary, they are all quite friendly, and Jiang Lai is happy to fulfill some of their small requests.

"Of course I have no problem! To be honest, I've never been to the University of Washington, but I've been to other schools before when there are competitions."

—Qu Su will be fine too. I'm a huge fan of Qu Su; I know him too well.

—Susu seems like a nice guy, would you consider him, beautiful lady? (Humble)

—Aren't your fans usually this outrageous? Aren't you supposed to be Qu Su's e-sports girlfriend fans?

—?? Don't try to frame me! Qu Su doesn't have any female fans! We're all mom fans! Besides, Qu Su isn't good enough for Jiang Jiang!

—Who's upstairs? Explain yourself, how am I not good enough for you?

This message has a gold border.

It is Quxiu.

—Damn, I got caught talking bad about someone and had to run away.

—Hahahaha, don't laugh too much!

—Qu Su: My embarrassing fan

—Fan: My worthless streamer

Jiang Lai also saw the message and smiled: "Yeah, thanks to Qu Su for the supercar and villa. Okay, don't send any more. I'll come to your place another day to get them back."

--Need not

—I'm dying of laughter

—The two of them seem to know each other quite well.

“Then let’s hang out together sometime. My fans want to see me record a vlog at UW, you can be my guide.”

--sure!!

—Look at how worthless he is!
