Chapter 750: Chapter 754: The Second Test 3
Su Tang saw that there were still some confused looks on everyone’s faces, so she thought for a moment and plucked a blade of grass from the ground.
"Look at this blade of grass, what comes to your mind? Fear not to make bold guesses, let your thoughts flow, and just say what different words or phrases it reminds you of."
"Green."
"Sharp." 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
"Thin."
"Fragile."
"Plenty."
Su Tang nods in satisfaction.
"Exactly, the guesser needs to determine, based on the describer’s actions and expressions, what they might be trying to convey. It doesn’t matter if you get it wrong, there’s no punishment, as long as we say the correct answer within the stipulated time."
"Okay, so what does the describer’s affirmation and negation mean?"
"The describer can’t speak, but he can use nods, head shaking, and various reactions to subtly guide the guesser towards the right answer."
In the process of explanation, Su Tang was always attentive to everyone’s expressions. Perhaps because she had been too vague in her descriptions, everyone except for Gaiyin had a confused look on their faces.
Su Tang: "····"
Well then, they still had plenty of time. She would explain in more detail.
"Let’s start from the beginning, when a describer knows the expression they need to describe, they need to provide feedback to the guesser, and also define a scope for them.
What does that mean?
An expression is a broad concept, it could be formed with two characters, three, four, or even five characters.
Therefore, once the describer knows the correct answer, they must inform the guesser how many characters they need to guess.
The describer can’t speak, but he can use his fingers to show the number of characters that the guesser needs to guess. Even later, if the guesser has a similar answer, the describer can nod, and tell him which character was correctly guessed."
"Does everyone understand it now?"
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Qiu Mo also picked a blade of grass from the ground, emulating her, "For example, if the correct answer is ’green grass’, but Brother Amo guessed ’little grass’, I can nod and show him a two with my fingers, right?"
Su Tang praised with satisfaction," Exactly. To increase the accuracy of the guess, the guesser can follow up and ask, ’which place does the character you guessed correctly have in the correct answer?’ , and then guess the correct answer based on the position of the character."
Yadang laughed contentedly, "I got it, it’s actually quite simple once Su Tang explains it like that, as long as we find the right method, passing the second round can be easy!"
Su Tang rolled her eyes," So now you’re not thinking of fighting and killing your way through the tests anymore?"
Yadang and Xi blushed at once, both coughing awkwardly.
At this moment, Gaiyin, who had been silent throughout, suddenly said, "Now that everyone understands the method, pairing the contestants is also a very important issue."
"Isn’t that simple?" Yadang puffed out his chest and pointed around, "You and Su Tang as a team, I and Amo as a team, Xi and Xi’en as a team."
"Excuse me?"
Xi instantly refused this distribution, "I have no objections to Gaiyin and Su Tang being a team, but why exactly are you and my sister a team?"
Yadang shamelessly argued, "Of course it’s because Amo and I are more in sync. Did you forget that this round of testing is called ’Heart to Heart’?"
Xi: "····"
