June 17th, sunny.

NJ City, Tianhe Stadium.

Large training room.

Dozens of tables that were put together into strips were filled with Rubik's Cube players from all over the country, with various trends of hairstyles, colorful clothes, big and small ages, tall, short, fat and thin.

There are as many as five hundred people!

On the table in front of these 500 contestants, several unified third-level Rubik's Cubes and a green timer were placed on the table.

All the contestants held their breath and focused, holding the Rubik's Cube tightly with both hands, waiting for the referee to give the order.

The rules of the selection competition are very cruel, and four rounds of elimination are first.

In the first round, the time for quick twisting and restoring the third-level Rubik's Cube shall not exceed 30 seconds. If it exceeds, it will be eliminated directly.

In the second round, the time for quick twisting and restoring the third-level Rubik's Cube shall not exceed 20 seconds. If it exceeds, it will be eliminated directly.

In the third round, the speed-switching recovery time shall not exceed 12 seconds. If it exceeds, it will be eliminated directly.

In the fourth round, the top six players who completed their recovery were successfully selected for the "Big Brain" promotion competition, and all the other players were eliminated.

In each round of competition, each participating team member has only one chance!

"The competition begins!"

The referee pressed the horn, and all the green timers were lit up red. He quickly twisted the Rubik's Cube to start the timing!

"Bang!"

Countless sounds of the high-speed rotation of the Rubik's Cubes sounded at the same time.

In the first round, 155 people were eliminated directly.

In the second round, 231 people were eliminated directly.

In the third round, there were only 22 people left at the scene.

In the fourth round, Zhou Ming successfully advanced with the first place in 6.6 seconds!

"Is this the first place?"

Zhou Ming, who had already lowered his strength by half, successfully advanced and stood at the highest position in the middle of the ranking table, with a calm look on his face.

Next to them, the five contestants who advanced together looked at this mysterious figure who had never appeared in the Rubik's Cube world before, and a chill surged in their hearts.

The 6.6-second speed twisting result is about two seconds away from the 4.75 seconds record of the world's fastest speed twisting record created by Fei Shen. It is not very fast. Some powerful Rubik's Cube masters can also achieve within 6 seconds if they perform very well.

The problem is that this mysterious figure, in the four-round competition and electronic display, the speed of each round of the speed twist is between 6-7 seconds, and the performance is very terrifying.

One of the five advanced players was standing next to Zhou Ming just now. After the referee called out that the game began, he found that the mysterious master seemed to be dazed for a second or two, and then his hands turned into a ball of afterimage. In just a few seconds, after hearing the sound of him pressing the timer, he was so scared that he almost performed abnormally.

Looking at this opponent with unknown origin and terrifying strength, the originally rising confidence in advance was shrouded in the hearts of the five players.

"Dear contestants who have successfully advanced, the program team will arrange food and accommodation for you, and have a good rest after you go back. Tomorrow morning, the program team will take you to shoot a group of VCRs, and will participate in the fifth episode of "The Strongest Brain" at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. I wish you all extraordinary performance and perfect performance!"

The director told everyone.

Everyone nodded, got on the minibus arranged by the program team, and moved into a four-star hotel with good conditions near the gymnasium.

Had supper.

In Room 508 of the hotel, a doorbell rang.

Open the door and came in with a few young people - the five players who advanced to the competition today.

"Brother, when did you start practicing Rubik's Cube? Are you too awesome?" Fang Jie, who was led by medium-length hair, slightly fat, and the oldest, asked familiarly after entering the door.

"Yes, brother, your strength scares me a lot. Why have you never seen a person like you in the Rubik's Cube world?" Wang Wei, who looks like a boy next door, said.

"I thought I could win the first place in this promotion competition..." Lin Jun, who was wearing yellow clothes, a southern accent, only 18 years old, but the strongest among the five, said a little depressed. His third-level magic cube speed twisting result was the fastest, ranking first in the country and third in the world, but in today's promotion competition, he was still slightly inferior, lagging behind the mysterious opponent in front of him.

"Brother, your surname is Zhou, and I am Zhou, so I can make friends." Zhou Chuang from SD Province said.

"Brother, how did you practice your hand speed? I feel that is no longer a human speed." Li Kaiwen, a fat man who was frightened by Zhou Ming's hand speed, was from GD and is a senior this year.

The five of them chattered, and Zhou Ming didn't know how to answer the question first, so he had to pour a few glasses of water and hand them to them, asking them to sit down first. Only then did Zhou Ming introduce his situation.

Contact Rubik's Cube for one month.

Not for being famous.

Instead, in order to defeat Jia Liping and defend the honor of the Rubik's Cube World in Country Z!

That's why I signed up for "The Strongest Brain".

After hearing this, the five of them were very excited and started talking one by one.

"Brother, you want to go with me, and I came for these purposes too!"

"I've long been disliked by Jia Liping. I must drive him out of the Hall of Fame this time!"

"But... Jia Liping is an expert in blind twisting projects. We compete with quick twisting, and our opponent is Wang Yinghao."

"Our opponent is not Kaliping?"

Zhou Ming was stunned. When the program team asked him to participate in the selection, he did not ask whether he wanted to participate in the quick twist or blind twist project, so he directly asked him to come over.

I have long heard that "The Strongest Brain" has many dark stories. Is this the case?

"Can I change the event and choose a blind twisting competition?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No, the selection of blind-twisted contestants has ended this afternoon, and it is impossible to re-select." Fang Jie explained.

it's over?

Then what's the point of me here?

For a moment, Zhou Ming wanted to go back and stopped participating in this show.

Zhou Ming had just expressed this meaning, and Wang Wei next to him quickly said: "Brother, with your strength, you should show yourself on this stage. Even if you don't drive Jia Liping down, if you pk with the international team in the future, you can add some combat power to the Z National Team. With your strength, I feel that you are no less than the Philistine God."

(Felix Dangers, formerly known as Felix Dangers, a native of Australian Bag, 22 years old, a genius in the Rubik's Cube world. He has successively broken world records in several Rubik's Cube events. He is an all-round Rubik's Cube player, has won 315 gold medals and has now broken 94 Rubik's Cube world records)

"And, if you participate in this program, as long as you advance to the finals, take Wang Yinghao off the horse and enter the seed team, this player will receive a reward of 50,000 yuan. Every time you play in the future, there will be a performance fee of no less than 100,000 yuan. This is not a decimal!"

Wang Wei's eyes flashed with expectation.

"You guys are all here for rewards and appearance fees?"

"Ahem! Of course not. I want to join the Z-country Rubik's Cube Team in "The Strongest Brain" and defeat the International Rubik's Cube Team." Wang Wei said with a cough twice.

"You can't say that. buddy, who doesn't want to make money? I have been practicing Rubik's Cube for more than a year, and I spent all my spare time to participate in various competitions for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. Who doesn't want to make some money by relying on this competition?" said Zhou Chuang, a real person.

"Brother, I advise you not to withdraw from the competition. You just withdraw from the competition. After being on the blacklist of the program team, it will be difficult to participate. Besides, with your strength, you should be fine to advance... I probably will be here to play soybean again this time." said Fatty Li Kai.

"Okay... Then let's have fun with Wang Yinghao first."

Wang Yinghao is still a good person, modest and low-key, and his psychological quality is much better than Alipay. The last season's game was remarkable and he almost tied with Fei Shen, but he didn't expect that he became my target of elimination. Brother Hao, after the game, I'll treat you to a meal... Zhou Ming thought in his heart, giving up the idea of ​​withdrawing from the competition.

Brother, why don’t you withdraw from the competition again?

Lin Jun, the strongest among the five, is in a complicated mood at this moment and creates a special set of third-level Rubik's Cube solution. The third-level Rubik's Cube ranks first in the country. He has already achieved a world record and does not want to meet this mysterious master who has a faster hand speed than him in this game and seems to be more unique in the solution.

With different thoughts and ideas, the next day soon came.

A group of six people boarded the minibus and came to an indoor studio. Each of them got a line. At the request of the director, in front of a green screen background board, each of them held a Rubik's Cube in his hand, posing in various shapes in front of the camera, and filmed a VCR.

Fang Jie: In the Rubik's Cube world, only the strong can stand firm.

Wang Wei: I'm here, I never thought about losing, I just wanted to defeat my opponent!

Lin Jun: Is it enough to break records again and again? no! My limit is not here!

Zhou Chuang: You can underestimate me, I will prove it with my strength!

Kai-Lee: I have nothing to ask for except victory!

Zhou Ming turned the Rubik's Cube with his finger and smiled at the camera: I, an unknown person? It doesn't matter, starting today, my name is, Rubik's Cube Emperor!

“cut!”

After the last one was finished, the director nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, Zhou Ming, your shot was very good and very imposing!"

Zhou Ming walked over with the Rubik's Cube and asked, "Director, is it a bit too high-profile?"

The director shook his head: "What is this high-profile? I also think that the line you wrote is better and more suitable for you! Don't be modest, this stage is only more high-profile! A low-key one can only mean that he is not strong enough and he will leave sooner or later!"

Zhou Ming nodded. This is what attracted him to this show. He can be proactive and high-profile, and can pretend to be a b. As long as anyone has the ability to pretend to be a b, he can come to this show to try it.

...

At 8 o'clock in the evening.

Sujiang TV, "The Brainiest", the fifth episode of the program recording site.

Thousands of viewers who entered the venue with tickets have filled the audience seats.

"Rub!Rub!Rub!"

Record the light at the top of the greenhouse and light up at the same time!

A burst of passionate music sounded!
