The real onlookers were even more excited than the father and son.
"Tongtong hasn't gotten a single number wrong yet. Can Tongtong go all the way? Let's continue!"
After the host finished speaking, he began to announce the 16th set of numbers: "03572?!"
The big screen also showed 03572.
Then, all the way to the last set, 81495. When Tongtong finished, the venue instantly fell silent.
To heighten the tension, the director even had the sound engineer play the sound of a heartbeat, which made the atmosphere even more intense.
Yun Duo'er watched Tongtong's brilliant performance, finding it hard to believe he was her son.
Looking at the child before her, other than his appearance, there was nothing else resembling Tongtong. Could this truly be her son?
She was baffled by the drastic change in Tongtong.
Just as everyone held their breath, the big screen finally displayed the last set of numbers.
As each number appeared, the audience below would read it out.
"8... 1... 4... 9... 5..."
Tongtong had answered them all correctly. Before the host could speak, the audience erupted in applause.
The louder the applause, the more excited they were.
Seeing Tongtong answer everything correctly was even more thrilling than if they had answered themselves. This child truly never disappointed.
Liu Yifeng, as Tongtong's father, felt immensely proud. If not for the need to maintain appearances,
he would have rushed onto the stage, picked up Tongtong, and given him a big kiss on the cheek.
The host was also extremely excited. He walked over to Tongtong, picked up the numbers he had written, and then read them out one by one.
They matched the twenty sets of numbers on the big screen exactly, without a single mistake.
"Let us congratulate contestant Tongtong for achieving a grand slam in this competition! Let's give Tongtong another round of applause." His voice grew louder and louder, showing that his excitement was no less than that of the audience.
Tongtong, as the person in question, was the most composed, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, the host couldn't help but want to interview him: "Tongtong, you got all three rounds right. How are you so calm?
Look at how happy your dad is down there."
Tongtong then looked at his dad and replied into the microphone: "People are only curious and excited about the unknown.
In fact, I already knew the answers, so there's nothing to be excited about.
Dad is happy because I am his son.
Dad, I will continue to work hard in the upcoming matches and become a son you can be proud of." He clenched his fist, his expression very serious.
After hearing his words, many people looked enviously at Liu Yifeng.
Look at this man's son; he's not only smart but also always thinking about his father.
The other contestants, when interviewed by the host, didn't think that much and just kept encouraging themselves.
Only Tongtong was the first to cheer and strive for his father.
Putting his father first in everything, such filial piety was truly rare and precious.
Yun Duo'er felt displeased seeing Liu Yifeng steal the spotlight.
This honor should have belonged to her, but he had reaped such great benefits.
And that ungrateful Tongtong; she had raised him for over three years. Leaving him with his father was a last resort.
Yet, in just half a year, he had completely forgotten her, not even mentioning her proactively.
He even said his dad was the best dad in the world. He had only been with him for half a year, and he was already the best dad.
She suspected that Liu Yifeng might have used some underhanded means to make Tongtong change so quickly.
Especially the conversation between the two invited guests next door, which provoked her: "Tongtong is such an outstanding child. I wonder if his biological mother, seeing her son perform so brilliantly on television, will regret abandoning him?"
"What do you think? If she sees this, she'll definitely rush back to claim her child.
After all, this child is so outstanding; he'll surely create a lot of wealth in the future.
To put it bluntly, he's a future cash cow!
She can abandon her child and then shamelessly come back for him. Just wait and see, you'll definitely get to eat this kind of gossip." The female guest was convinced of her own speculation.
Yun Duo'er was so angry she wanted to hit someone.
Was she really that worthless? Besides, she had never intended to give up Tongtong forever.
When her career as an actress was over, she would naturally explain everything to Tongtong.
It wasn't because Tongtong was so outstanding that she would go back to recognize him.
Moreover, no matter how outstanding Tongtong was, she could not acknowledge him at this time. She was currently in a career-boosting phase.
If it were revealed that she had a child and had previously given him away, she wouldn't be able to stay in the entertainment industry.
Not only would she have to pay the company a sky-high breach of contract fee, but there was also the question of whether she could get Tongtong back.
Through her interactions with Tongtong's father, she had learned why Tongtong coincidentally appeared here.
It wasn't due to any so-called fate, but Liu Yifeng's deliberate arrangement.
She had boasted to him before that she was about to record this program. Liu Yifeng must have heard this and then conceived the idea of having Tongtong participate as well.
His purpose was to make her regret it.
Therefore, she was even less likely to acknowledge Tongtong at this time, or she didn't know how he would humiliate her.
Her only thought now was to keep the father and son away from her sight. If other contestants couldn't eliminate Tongtong through their own strength, she wouldn't mind using some improper means to get Tongtong off the show.
At this moment, Tongtong was unaware that his biological mother was trying to get him removed from the competition.
After chatting with the host for a while, he returned to his seat.
Xia Qianqian, seeing Tongtong, excitedly extended her hands and high-fived him.
"Tongtong, you are truly amazing! Auntie Xia is your loyal fan from now on." Tongtong's performance today could be described as flawless.
There was not a single flaw to be found. If there was anything that needed changing,
it was that this child was too heaven-defying, seemingly not a child from the mortal realm but more like a terminator created by the Creator.
His appearance was a dimensional reduction attack on the other contestants.
Tongtong had gained countless fans in just one round of competition.
Many of his opponents were also convinced by his strength.
Of course, there were also those who were unconvinced.
To this day, they still refused to believe that such a young child like Tongtong could be so powerful.
They were more inclined to believe that there might be some inside story, that Tongtong had already received the answers and just needed to memorize them.
However, they dared not voice such doubts, for fear of being targeted by the program staff and eliminated.
"All three rounds of the competition have concluded. Our staff is currently compiling the results.
While we wait for the final outcome, let's watch some videos. These videos were recorded by our program crew and invited guests visiting the contestants' homes.
The purpose was to document the daily lives of geniuses. The content of the videos is the contestants' daily routines.
The director did not intentionally stage anything; everyone can take a good look!" the host said to the audience.
During the previous halftime break, they had already watched the daily video of one of the contestants.
In the video, the contestant was almost constantly doing homework and reading, and even during interactions with the invited guests, learning was never far from their mind.
Now, the audience was eager to know how such an intelligent child like Tongtong lived his daily life.
Was it true, as he said, that he never studied at home?
