* * *

There was a riot.

After Yotube threw a bomb called a 3 million dollar quiz contest yesterday.

[Global company Yotube aggressive marketing!]

[3 Million Dollar Event! Mobile quiz show craze!]

[3 billion won in one touch? What is the purpose of Yotube?]

[The giant dinosaur Yotube is encroaching on the domestic market? Is it good like this?]

Not only domestic mail portal sites but also various community sites were showing great interest in the Yotube quiz contest.

Even if you click on any article floating on the portal,

[Comment 1: How much is 3 million dollars? 3 billion?]

[Comment 2: To be precise, 3,198 million won lol]

[Comment 3: Isn't it a possible angle enough? After all, the qualifiers will be held on mobile, right?]

[Comment 5: The world population is 7.6 billion hahahahaha?]

[Comment 7: Hahaha I'm already worried about all the chaffs in the national qualifier anyway]

.

.

As such, there were a series of comments praising the size of the prize money and wanting to participate in the contest.

In fact, if Yotube's $3 million quiz contest had been an offline quiz contest, it would not have been able to elicit this much repercussion.

No matter how big the prize money is, if you don't participate, it means nothing.

However.

Due to the nature of the mobile quiz show, the approach to this competition is inevitably different from that of the offline quiz competition.

As long as you have a smartphone, regardless of age, gender, nationality, or race.

Because everyone has a chance to win a huge sum of 3 billion won.

so.

‘Hehe, my grandson told me to give it a try, so it’s fun.’

'Uncle! Register me as a recommender! I mean, I need to get a heart!’

As Korea is a country where even 6-year-old children and elderly people in their 70s use smartphones, the public's interest is bound to explode.

And the long-awaited 15th.

Finally, the day of the decisive battle dawned.

* * *

[The game starts after 5:00 minutes. Please wait]

The time is 11:55 a.m.,

[1,456,343 people waiting]

Not only the people at Hermit Crab Academy, but also numerous smartphone users across the country were waiting for the [1st Yotube Worldwide Quiz Contest] qualifiers at Yotube Live at this moment.

“Thump-thump-thump-thump.”

A strange sound escaped from Yuna Kim's mouth.

Everyone in the classroom was waiting for the game to start with nervous expressions, so Yuna Kim's voice was heard even louder.

Then, Kim Ja-young, who was next to her, looked at her Kim Yuna and opened her mouth.

“Are you nervous, Yuna?”

“I get nervous because I think about what I’m going to do with 3 billion won!”

“...?”

“Hehe, that’s a joke, a joke!”

Then, laughter erupted from all around.

Thanks to Yuna Kim's words, the tension seemed to have been relieved a little.

“By the way, who hosted the broadcast?”

"Well? Maybe a comedian? Are all other apps like that?”

“Hey, maybe it’s still Yotube?”

“Yeah, it’s a preliminary round, but would you spend money on that?”

After hearing Kim Ja-young's words, Kim Yu-na nodded her head.

Probably because it's a preliminary round, not a very famous person will host the broadcast.

But after a while.

Kim Ja-young could see that she was wrong.

As soon as she saw the second hand on her watch point to twelve o'clock.

The person who appeared on the screen of the smartphone is the person.

[Hello! Everyone! My name is Na-yoon Son of Purple Velvet, who will be hosting the 1st Yotube Worldwide Quiz Contest!]

It was because she was the hand of Purple Velvet Nayun.

OK.

"uh? You're Nayun's older sister!"

She said with a smile as if Yuna Kim was happy.

The other students in the classroom also began to murmur as if Na-yoon Son was unexpected.“Hey. Na-yoon Son? After all, Yotube has a lot of money.”

“I recognized it when you said you were going to shoot 3 billion.”

“Na Yun-sama is still beautiful…”

In general, other mobile quiz apps recruit less well-known broadcasters to run the contest.

Yotube seemed to be making an aggressive investment from the start.

Meanwhile, the number of users exceeded 1.5 million and was approaching 2 million.

Then, after a short time, a message indicating that the question was asked appeared.

[Live starts soon!]

A simple problem popped up on the smartphone screen.

problem one. How many squares are drawn on the checkerboard?

1. 19 × 19

2. 18 × 18

3. 17 × 17

Kim Yuna, who saw the first problem, felt choked.

‘What makes it so difficult?’

As the prize money is the prize money, the difficulty seemed to be more difficult than other quiz programs.

"what. this? Anyone know the answer?”

“How do we know Go!”

“Search, search!”

Some students asked the person next to them, while others banged their phones fiercely to do a search.

But the given time is only 7 seconds.

It was a difficult time for even students who are specialized in mobile to find answers by searching.

A moment like that when everyone seems to be falling from the first question.

“The answer is number two.”

A reversal occurred.

The eyes of the students turned to one side of the classroom.

Then what is there.

Park Soo-han with a proud expression on his face.

The students looked at him with hopeful expressions.

"Are you sure?"

“Hey, I’m a 4th grade Go player. I don't even know Twice is right.”

The students then nodded and began to check their answers.

after a while.

[Yes. The answer is number 2 18 × 18 squares. Oh, but was the problem difficult? Despite the first problem, close to 300,000 people have already dropped out and drank.]

All the students in the classroom sighed at the same time.

If I made a mistake, I could have been thrown out of the first question in large numbers.

The students' eyes turned to Park Soo-han, who made the greatest contribution.

Then Park Soo-han shrugged his shoulders and looked at Kim Ja-young.

But Kim Ja-young only turned her head with a determined expression.

‘Is it possible to do it this way?’

Yuna Kim thought as she looked at Na-yun Son, who was progressing skillfully.

But the idea didn't last long.

because.

question six. What is the occupation of the real person who became the model for Super Mario's character 'Mario'?

1. Landlord

2. Plumber

3. Hardware Store Owner

As soon as question number 6 came up.

“Hey, this problem is dog gum! It's definitely the second time, isn't it?"

Because everyone chose option 2 as if it was natural.

But unfortunately the answer is.

[This answer was the number 1 owner of the building.]

Moment.

“Why hey hey!”

“If you see Super Mario, you’re a plumber!”

“Isn’t this wrong?”

Similar screams could be heard from all over Yuna Kim's classroom as well as her academy.

It seems that something similar happened not only in her classroom where she was, but also in her other classrooms.

“Whew.”

Yuna Kim let out her sigh.

She actually said she herself too she was going to check the plumber and she was just in case she took number one.

But when she looked at her, she saw that everyone else except herself and Kim Ja-young had a blank expression on their faces.

She opened her mouth with a look that Yuna Kim said, 'I hope'.

"survivor?"

Why is the sad premonition never wrong?

“·················ogue.”

No one raised a hand.

The only survivors in her classroom were her and her Kim Ja-young.

Then, when she realized that, Yuna Kim's face turned blue.

'It will fall like this!'

If a problem like this one comes up one more time, I'll drop it right away.

In fact, it was thanks to the power of collective intelligence and a little luck that it has survived until now.

But now...

As much as the students in the classroom are mentally disturbed as a group.

It seemed that the power of collective intelligence could no longer be borrowed.

In an instant, Yuna Kim stood up from her seat.

“Yeon-ah, why?”

Kim Ja-young opened her eyes and asked.

“Follow my sister!

“Where are you going? The next question will come up?”

Then Yuna Kim opened her mouth with a smile of her conversion.

“Someone can help!”

Then she took Kim Ja-young's hand and ran out of her classroom and shouted.

“Everyone who is still alive, follow me!”

After Yuna Kim, who crossed her hallway like the goddess of liberty, the students who came out after hearing her came rushing in.

This is where Yuna Kim and other students arrived.

That's right.

bang-

“Let’s unwind together!”

The school brain.

It was a classroom with instructors.

* * *

After a while, the classroom.

The hermit crab academy's dream team has gathered.

Only 10 people survived.

It was the vice president, Jisung, Eunsol, Yuna Kim, Jayoung Kim, and about 5 instructors and students.

And around them, people who had already dropped out surrounded them.

At first, the instructors who fell were trying to get the students out.

However, the instructors nodded to the students' request to let them stay for 10 minutes.

Probably because the range of questions was enormous, the power of collective intelligence could not be ignored.

However, having a lot of people is not necessarily a good thing.

E.g.

In the case of the question of which one has the highest number of calories per 100g among Daize, Matdongsan, and Cheetos like in question 8.

“Of course Daizeji! If it’s three pieces, it’s a quick meal!”

“Ah, no. How sweet is Makdongsan?”

“Isn’t that Cheetos?”

“No, well, because it’s Daize!”

“Matdongsan!”

Because of the kindness of the people around me, the people who really need to solve the problem are in a dilemma.

It was probably the fault of many people who knew him vaguely.

But then.

“Daige has 498 calories per 100g, Maddongsan has 500 calories, and Cheetos has 600 calories, so the answer is Cheetos #3.”

Eunsol opened her mouth with a calm face.

Then people looked at Eunsol with a confused expression.

He looked as if he had memorized all the calories in the cookie.

OK.

“Heh heh, then I’ll take it three times. So far, there have been no mistakes in what Eunsol said.”

The deputy director smiled blankly and checked number 3.

She had a look on her face that she would believe until the end as she had believed until now.

after a while.

[Yes! Everyone, the correct answer is ... 3 Cheetos. Oh my god, I thought Daisy had the highest number of calories, but in terms of calories per 100g, Cheetos has the highest 600 calories. Now I have to be careful.]

As soon as Son Na-yoon finished speaking.

“How did you know, sir?”

"that's right. It wasn't taken, but the exact number of calories..."

People looked at Eunsol with admiring expressions.

Then Eunsol put on a soft smile.

“It’s a secret.”

I was left with a short answer.

After that, up to questions 9 and 10.

Eunsol solved the problem without a single difficulty.

However, those who did not believe her in the meantime had no choice but to drink her torment in the middle of her.

So, the long-awaited question 11.Now there are only three people left.

There were only Eunsol, the vice president, and Kim Yuna.

People's eyes turned to Eunsol.

It seems like this quiz, if you follow Eunsol, you can easily get hearts.

However?

Question 11 is a bit strange, isn't it?

[Question 11 is a choice problem. It is a question of choosing the one that people are most likely to choose from among the following examples!]

question 11. Which of the following would you like to eat right now?

1, Chicken

2. Pork feet

3. Red fish stew

When the problem came up, people looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

Because it was a completely different issue from the ones I've encountered so far.

at that time.

Kim Ja-young, who was looking at the problem, made an 'ah' expression and opened her mouth.

“Ah, so this is the answer that people take the most pictures of! This problem also appeared in other quiz apps. Is it a game of empathy?”

“Are there any problems with that? Hey, isn’t it true that you know a lot about this?”

"Yes. Surprisingly, many people fall for this problem. It’s about finding food that other people will like, not the food you like.”

Then people nodded as if they understood.

Again, hunsu began to overflow from all directions.

“Then is it still chicken?”

“No, it could be jokbal!”

"Heh heh, I think I'm a skate..."

“Ah, Vice President, that’s not it.”

But there was no clear answer.

At this point, people's eyes turned to Eunsol.

Then Eunsol opened her mouth with an expression that there was nothing more to see.

“The answer is at least one.”

Then, without hesitation, she moves her finger to check the answer.

“The answer is number three.”

···Yes?

Her people looked at her with her blank expression on her face.

Moment.

[The answer to question 11 is ... yes, it is also chicken number 1!]

“...?”

Eunsol, who heard the correct answer, tilted her head with an expression that she did not understand.

“No…isn’t it, of course, fermented red fish?”

* * *

After a shocking event.

“Then all the people at our academy are gone?”

Kim Ja-young said with a cautious expression.

Then people looked at Eunsol, who was still tilting her head, and nodded her head.

But then.

“Uh… did I live?”

Yuna Kim crawled and opened her mouth.

Moment.

People's eyes turned to Yuna Kim.

“···It seems to be chicken...'

Yuna Kim opened her mouth with an expression that seemed to make excuses.

“No, you did well, Yuna!”

“Yes, at least one must survive.”

There was a glimmer of hope on the faces of Yuna Kim and her people.

But the moment she saw the last problem, hope disappeared from Yuna Kim's face.

Because that's the last question.

‘How many hairs does Dooly have in total?’

because it was

When the problem came up, people looked at Eunsol.

But even Eunsol shook her head with an expression of not knowing this time.

Then, Yuna Kim's expression suddenly darkened.

'I've never looked around!'

But then.

“The answer is two. Two strands.”

A familiar voice was heard in Yuna Kim's ears.

People looked to where her voice had come from.

Then there.

Junyoung was standing there holding a smart phone.
