Free Web NovelChapter 80: Chapter 80: The Formidable Chloe Sinclair
This round tested observational skills. Contestants had to find the differences from the original image within five minutes. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
And the image was a full three meters wide!
Chloe Sinclair was scheduled later in the lineup, so she sat leisurely in a chair in the private room, swinging her legs.
She glanced up at the contestants’ scores from time to time.
However, the contestants were all doing pretty well in this round.
After all, most of them were researchers, so their observational skills were exceptionally sharp.
But compared to White, everyone was still a bit slower.
The highest score so far belonged to Vincent, who had found six differences within five minutes.
When contestant number eight was called, it was Jolie Yates’s turn.
She did extremely well in the second round, finding seven differences in less than five minutes.
By the time the timer stopped, she had found eight differences, matching White’s score.
Afterward, Jolie Yates heard the enthusiastic applause from the stage and the audience, and she strutted back to her seat, chin high in the air.
When she reached Chloe Sinclair, she suddenly stopped. "You’re still young," she said. "It’s perfectly normal to face a few setbacks. Don’t feel too pressured."
She had discovered from the previous round that Chloe Sinclair’s spatial awareness and reasoning skills were both incredibly strong.
But Jolie Yates refused to believe that Chloe Sinclair’s observational skills could be that sharp as well.
Chloe Sinclair sensed the challenge in Jolie Yates’s tone and simply offered her a faint smile.
"Why would I feel any pressure?"
Jolie Yates froze. If it weren’t for all the cameras, she would have given Chloe a massive eye-roll.
Without another glance at Jolie Yates, Chloe Sinclair stepped around her and walked straight to the center of the stage.
Suddenly, White’s blue eyes lit up, and it chimed, "Miss, you’re so pwetty!"
Chloe Sinclair froze for a moment, a flash of shock in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself.
"You’re very cute, too." She reached out and patted White’s smooth head.
Instantly, two little red stars popped up in White’s big eyes.
"PFFT!"
The audience couldn’t help but chuckle. Someone said in disbelief, "This little robot is just too cute! It can even tell who’s pretty and who isn’t."
"Are even robots this superficial nowadays?"
"Hahaha, well, Chloe Sinclair really is gorgeous. I wonder if she’ll make it through this round, though. After all, finding the differences in a three-meter-wide image is incredibly difficult."
"The format is different from previous years, but I think this style is better. It might seem like luck plays a part, but you have to admit, every round ultimately comes down to pure skill."
While the audience chattered, Chloe’s trial began.
When the new image appeared, everyone gasped.
The new image was of a dense forest. At a glance, it was nothing but a sea of leaves and tree trunks.
Even White had to deliberate for the full five minutes.
In the end, White successfully identified ten differences.
Mr. Sutton frowned from his seat on the stage. ’I wonder how Chloe Sinclair will fare. She might have had a chance with the earlier images, but this one...’
’Even I would struggle to find ten differences in five minutes.’
「Onstage」
Chloe Sinclair looked at the image that appeared and raised an eyebrow slightly.
The crowd assumed she was intimidated.
Many felt it was a shame she had such bad luck.
"With one of the earlier images, she probably would have made it to the next round."
The image was so dense that if White hadn’t managed to find ten differences, they would have sworn the two pictures were identical.
"WHOA! Look, Chloe Sinclair actually found a difference!"
