Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1478: Grand Prize No-win? Frustrating Supplementary Rules
Giving out benefits for the first question in Fang Yun’s quiz is an old tradition.

For many players who participated in last year’s event, they already knew that the first question would be very simple.

So rather than saying that this question is testing everyone's knowledge reserves, it is better to say that it is testing everyone's reaction and Internet speed.

Only those with the fastest reaction and the fastest internet speed will come out on top and get the first prize of 888.

as predicted.

Fang Yun had just finished asking the question and when he refreshed the webpage, he saw hundreds of answers popping up below the question.

This question is a pure easy-to-get-points question, so except for a few very rare wrong answers.

All of them, including the answer that ranked first, were answered correctly.

After glancing at the ID of the first place, Fang Yun turned his head and gave Shouye a look.

After receiving Fang Yun's signal, Shouye immediately nodded.

Then, he opened the microphone and said in the YY lobby: "Time is up, now I will announce the correct answer! The correct answer is the first day of the first lunar month. The first person who answered correctly is 'Qingfeng Nongying'. Please send me a private message with your game ID and a screenshot of your level!"

As he spoke, he switched to the question-and-answer post and sent a private message to the other party to ensure that the other party would know that he had won the prize as soon as possible.

I heard from Shouye that those who answer correctly must bring their game ID and screenshots to claim the prize.

The YY lobby, which was crowded with tens of thousands of players, was in an uproar in an instant!
"What do you mean? Why do I have to report my ID and level when answering questions correctly?"

"That's right. Since they got the answer right, why not just give them the money?"

"The one above, you're not from another game, are you?"

"This is an event exclusively for us fantasy players. If you don't even have a fantasy account, how can you claim the prize?"

"That's right. This event is held on the forum, and there is no entry threshold. If we don't even verify the game ID, what if all the grand prizes are taken away by non-Fantasy players?"

"Refuse to fish in troubled waters! Does Qingfeng Nongying have an account? If not, go play with him!"

Shouye's sudden reporting of his ID caught many people off guard, but most people were surprised but understandable.

Only a small group of people seemed somewhat excited, which was very suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

But Shouye didn't care about that. While waiting for Qingfeng Nongying to report his ID, he said to everyone, "I'm sure everyone understands the reason for reporting the ID. Let me add one more thing—"

"The minimum level requirement for receiving the prize in this event is level 20. If you are not even level 20, then even if you answer correctly, the reward will be automatically postponed."

As Shouye announced this rule, most people remained calm.

Level 20 is not worth mentioning in Fantasy World. If you are a Fantasy World player, it is impossible that you don’t even have a level 20 account.

Oh yes, except Li Yongsheng.

But at the same time, considering that this quiz only lasts 100 minutes.

With such a short time, unless there is a big dragon to lead you to clear the tower, it is difficult for a level 20 character to reach level in such a short time.

So, the hard requirement of level 20 is just right.

It will not affect normal fantasy players from receiving prizes, and can also exclude as many non-fantasy players who want to take advantage of the situation as possible.

As for why Fang Yun did not mark this request in the announcement, the reason is very simple.

The announcement was released at 20:. If everyone had been told in advance at that time, there would be a level requirement to claim the prize.

Then there will definitely be non-Fantasy players who will take this opportunity to create an account, and maybe they will reach level 20 before the event ends.

Only by announcing it at the beginning of the event can we eliminate those slackers to the greatest extent possible and leave more opportunities for real fantasy players.

Soon, while Shouye was checking the information of the first place winner.

Fang Yun has already posted the second question in the Q&A post.

This question and answer post has the function of only viewing the original poster, and Shouye has just reminded all participants of this.

If participants do not want to miss any questions, they are advised to click to only view the original poster's posts and refresh the posts continuously.

The second question posed by Fang Yun was obviously much more difficult.

"Second question of Spring Festival quiz: It is very common to post New Year pictures in urban and rural areas during the Spring Festival. The dark and colorful New Year adds a lot of prosperity and joy to thousands of households. New Year pictures are an ancient folk art in my country, reflecting the simple customs and beliefs of the people and their hopes for the future. Question: Where are the three important production areas of New Year pictures in my country?"

As the second Spring Festival knowledge quiz appeared in the post.

When most people refreshed the page and finished watching, they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

The first question was clearly testing everyone on what 1+1 equals, but how come the second question suddenly started testing advanced mathematics?

As you can see from the title, you must answer three place names correctly at the same time. If you get one wrong, you’re done.

But the question is, if you don’t have special knowledge about this aspect, who can answer it right away?

Although nowadays everyone has understood the principle of asking Baidu when in doubt.

But you have to know that the knowledge quiz not only tests the player's knowledge reserves, but also tests everyone's hand speed.

Just when most people were stumped by this question and ran to Baidu one after another.

Another small group of players who knew the answer had already filled in the place name and quickly clicked the mouse to send it!
Since there was only one minute between each question, Fang Yun had very little time to check his answers.

After submitting the second question, he refreshed the page immediately, only to find that there were only a few answers below the question, and most of the few answers that occasionally appeared were wrong.

He quickly flipped through the pages until an answer with three correct names appeared under the question. He then breathed a sigh of relief and immediately signaled Shouye to go and contact them.

"Let me take a look..."

Shouye and Fang Yun have been working together for a long time, so they have a very good understanding of each other.

As soon as Fang Yun looked up, Shouye, who had also seen the correct answer, immediately spoke on the microphone: "First, let me announce the correct answer to the second question: Taohuawu in Suzhou, Yangliuqing in Tianjin, and Yuandu in Qilu! Congratulations to 'Feng Feiyang' for answering the question correctly. Please send me a private message with a screenshot of your ID and level as soon as possible!"

Even though the questions were so difficult, some people still finished answering them in less than a minute.

The players gathered in the YY lobby were suddenly stunned.

"No...do you have to do it so quickly?"

"Taohuawu, Yangliuqing, Yuandu...what are these niche place names?"

"It's too difficult, several times more difficult than last year's quiz!"

"Is it really that difficult? Isn't it true that someone can answer it in less than a minute?"

"There's nothing I can do. I can only say that some people are born to do this..."

"He was able to answer such a niche question and got first place. He deserves the 888!"

When people learned that this question that had stumped many people had been answered so quickly, the entire YY chat room's public screen exploded instantly.

But as they said, such a difficult question was answered in such a short time.

This made it impossible for them to not accept it.

Up to now, two questions of the Spring Festival Knowledge Quiz have been asked, which also means that Fang Yun has given out two cash red envelopes of 888 yuan.

But everyone knows that this is just the beginning.

After successfully opening the situation with two questions, one easy and one difficult.

Feeling that time was running out, Fang Yun did not waste any time and immediately started editing the next question.

Time slowly passed as countless fantasy players competed fiercely to answer questions.

As the time came to half past ten in the evening, the entire Spring Festival knowledge quiz process finally came to an end.

"It's difficult, it's too difficult!"

"Brother Cheng, I hate you. Why are the questions this year so tricky?"

"You can't really blame them for this. Last year, everyone complained that the questions were too easy. They knew the answers but couldn't keep up. Isn't it true that the intensity has been increased this year?"

"But if you say it's difficult, I think someone has already achieved five consecutive kills..."

"It's the one called Qingfeng Nongying, right? He's a pervert. Not only does he have a deep knowledge base, but his hand speed is also extremely fast. What a fucking pervert!"

"Five consecutive kills, 888 x 5 + 2888, that's more than yuan?"

"Ahhh, I'm so jealous! Seven thousand yuan! My three-month salary is not even that much!"

"To be precise, it's 7328 yuan. Don't take 328 yuan for granted. This is my monthly living expenses..."

"I'm not jealous of him at all. I can only admit defeat to the boss who was able to answer the question about the strange folk custom called 'throwing away the sorrow hat' that was popular in the capital of the ancient Zhao State during the New Year's Eve celebrations!"

As the first round of the Spring Festival knowledge quiz came to an end, the players who received the rewards were naturally smiling.

But more people are furious. After all, it is impossible for anyone to keep a balanced mentality when he or she has to watch others get rich while he or she remains penniless.

Among them, 'Qing Feng Nong Ying', which won the first question and answer, can be said to be a standout.

This year's Spring Festival knowledge quiz is not comparable to last year's.

Although there were also a lot of participants last year, it was only limited to the urban area of ​​​​Bianliang, and at most there were only about ten thousand people.

However, the number of participants in this Spring Festival quiz is conservatively estimated to be hundreds of thousands.

If being able to grab five questions from so many participants and answer them all correctly is not considered a big shot, then who else can be considered a big shot?
At this point, there are only 10 questions left until the end of the event, and this Spring Festival knowledge quiz has entered a white-hot stage.

90 888 grand prizes have been given out, which is equivalent to nearly yuan in cash.

Those who got a share of the spoils naturally wanted as much as possible, while those who didn’t get a share were already desperate and vowed to win once before the event ended!
Just like that, Fang Yun asked nine more questions in a row.

After all nine questions were answered by nine players in less than a minute.

He did not rush to ask the last question, but turned on the microphone and announced his recent progress.

"It is now 10:39 p.m., and so far, this Spring Festival quiz has gone through questions. There is only one question left before the activity ends."

He gave an opening speech, and before anyone could react, he continued, "First of all, I want to congratulate 'Qing Feng Nong Ying' for hitting five consecutive kills. Not only did he win five bonuses of 888, but he will also receive a 2888 cash prize, which is an exclusive reward for hitting five consecutive kills!"

Many people already knew about this. After all, Qingfeng Nongying was so beautiful that it was hard not to be noticed.

But then, Fang Yun said, "It's a pity that, until now, no one has achieved the supreme achievement of ten consecutive kills. I'm afraid that no one will win the ultimate cash prize of 5888..."

"Fuck, you still have the nerve to say that!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people answer a hundred questions, and you still want to kill ten in a row. Even cheating can't do it!"

"I finally figured it out. This ultimate prize of 5888 is just an elusive carrot, specially designed to trick us donkeys!"

"Your description... the angle is very unique."

"I haven't thought about 5888, and I won't force myself to get 2888. I just want 888 to have a good New Year."

"What are you saying? Who doesn't want to have a good New Year? 888 is enough for me to buy as many firecrackers as I want. I can't spend it all. I can't spend it all!"

Seeing that the Spring Festival Knowledge Quiz had come to the last question, the organizer Fang Yun not only did not announce the question immediately, but instead acted in a sarcastic manner.

Many players who were already angry because they didn't get the rewards were immediately laughing, and they all opened fire on him at full force on the YY public screen.

Fortunately, everyone understands that Fang Yun organizes this event purely for welfare purposes. If you get a reward, you are lucky, but if you don’t, no one owes you anything.

So even though everyone criticized him, no one questioned him, and it was just empty talk at best.

Just when everyone thought that Fang Yun would announce the last question immediately after finishing Yin and Yang.

But suddenly he spoke again.

"I saw someone say that I set this 5888 ultimate prize to whet people's appetite? I must state here——"

His tone suddenly became a little serious, and he said directly: "In fact, I had expected that no one would be able to achieve ten consecutive kills, and I had made a backup plan from the beginning!"

"If no one can achieve 100 consecutive kills, all 5888 questions will be asked. The player who answers the most questions will receive the ultimate prize of !"

"besides--"

"If two or more players answer the same number of questions at the end of the event, they will share the grand prize equally. In short, the ultimate grand prize will never be left empty-handed!"

As he said this, everyone who had been teasing him and keeping everyone in suspense just a second ago was suddenly stunned.

"No... Shit, you really give me 5888?!"

"Is this the point? Isn't it that according to the current ranking, the one with the best chance of winning the 5888 ultimate prize is still Qingfeng Nongying?"

"No! I don't agree!"

"I don't agree either! A person can get a bonus of more than 10,000 yuan just by answering questions. Is there any law?"

"That doesn't make sense. If the questions were that easy, why couldn't you get the money?"

"It's such a rip-off. Qingfeng Nongying is really going to get rich this time. He can get more than 10,000 yuan just by answering questions. It's outrageous just to think about it..."

"How can you be sure that he will get the 5888? Don't forget that there is another guy behind him who answered four questions correctly. I think his name is 'Butterfly Spring Water'. According to Brother Cheng's rule, maybe in the end, the two of them will share the 5888 grand prize equally."

"I'm willing to split it evenly! 5888÷2 is almost three thousand, which is more than the bonus for the five-kill streak!"

As Fang Yun announced the additional rules for this Spring Festival quiz, the players who had originally been just teasing him were suddenly in trouble.

They suddenly felt that according to this rule, the ultimate grand prize of 5888 might as well be a bye...
