Chapter 1409: Chapter 1381: Playing Psychological Warfare (Thanks to Niwa Doll for the He’s Bi jade and the update) Chapter 1409: Chapter 1381: Playing Psychological Warfare (Thanks to Niwa Doll for the He’s Bi jade and the update) What is this? Even Camden is involved now?
Mrs. Kiara instantly exploded with boundless fighting spirit. No matter what, let’s do this!
By now, she was no longer fighting just for herself.
The Drinking Game officially began.
Since Kiara initiated the challenge, it was Molly Nan Guo who answered first.
She only saw Young Master Nong Thompson whisper something into the ear of the woman wearing the mask and suspenders, and then the woman’s fighting spirit visibly ignited.
But this didn’t affect Molly Nan Guo’s resolve to win. The stakes had escalated to betting on two institutions, and she couldn’t afford to lose.
“The Twin Phenomenon has always been one of the focal points in our field, especially with monozygotic twins. Not only do they look similar, but they often share abilities and preferences. This includes many cases of a telepathic connection. For my Feihua Order First Round, I’m going to discuss a case where one twin developed depression, and her sister became ill with the same condition…”
Clearly, Molly Nan Guo knew how to engage the audience’s emotions. She had participated in many such competitions and knew how to pick topics that would appeal to the lowbrow tastes of the wealthy consortium.
As expected, her case drew great interest from the audience and seemed quite intriguing through her portrayal.
When it was Kiara’s turn, she also presented a case.
“Some believe that a person’s IQ is determined by genetics, but there are instances where twins differ greatly in IQ. I’m going to discuss a case involving hippocampal atrophy in twins.”
Kiara’s style was more concise. It might not have been as entertaining as Molly Nan Guo’s, but it seemed more solid professionally.
Her experience from two lifetimes played a significant role in this occasion.
The cases they presented followed one after another. According to the rules, each one could not repeat the same argument, so after several rounds, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Molly Nan Guo hadn’t expected the little girl in suspenders to be so amazingly capable. Despite so many rounds, the girl still seemed confident and steady, not showing any signs of panic.
On the contrary, it was Molly Nan Guo who felt unsettled. The reality was quite different from what she had anticipated and her opponent proved to be stronger, so little by little, Molly Nan Guo’s composure started to falter.
Both were genius girls, both had guidance from great teachers, and JR even had resources that, in some ways, surpassed the Farmstead’s. But as the competition continued, Molly Nan Guo became increasingly flustered.
She was running out of cases to present, and Kiara had preempted many of them. As long as Kiara had mentioned a condition, Molly Nan Guo couldn’t repeat it. The Psychiatry Department’s common conditions were limited, and with twins as an added criterion, there were even fewer examples to cite.
By now, the only option was to start using the cases from JR’s resources. Molly Nan Guo had taken a few from the database she had memorized.
Kiara was actually pretending to be strong as well.
She knew about as much as she was showing.
She had used up knowledge from both her lifetimes. Cases like these were too rare in the Domestic Region, and she had already started using the resources Yuzo Joel had given her. Thankfully, the recent issue with twins Ivy Lynn and Orchid Lynn had prompted Kiara to skim through some related cases a few days earlier, but there was only so much she could fully grasp in such a short time.
Aside from the initial challenges, the content of that hard drive was indeed extensive and detailed, but it also had a downside–it was too vast. As Kiara reviewed the material in order, it was impossible to go through it all. If she had to continue, she could perhaps hold out for another three or four rounds at most.
Unfortunately for her, Molly Nan Guo had just mentioned a condition that was one of the three remaining cases Kiara knew of.
This meant that Kiara now only had two chances left.
At such a moment, the slightest carelessness could lead to complete defeat, and the tension could not have been greater.
The onlookers Outside betting on the spectacle had no understanding of what the participants were feeling. After hearing so many “interesting” stories, they eagerly anticipated the two women settling the score. The lure of profit made them restless, impatient to see the outcome.
Mario Yuno kept his gaze fixed on every move Kiara made. Her tone, though steady as ever, and her casual posture could not conceal to Mario the image of her small nose beaded with sweat beneath her mask. She must be very nervous.
It was an intuition that comes from someone who shares your pillow.
Kiara had returned another to Tenango, leaving her with just one left in her hand.
Tenango had run out of tricks too and reluctantly took another round with Kiara, who had already thrown out her last one.
And yet, Tenango could still answer. Kiara admitted that her heart had gone cold when she heard Tenango continue.
This is bad, she underestimated her opponent.
She had intended to use this opportunity to provoke Tenango and, if she could win, to implant a subtle psychological suggestion. The opponent, having lost, would surely be mentally unstable. A few casual suggestions from her could influence Tenango’s attitude toward Akate in the subsequent rounds.
Those with weaker psychological resilience might lose emotional control for a long time.
Kiara had chosen to take on this gamble in order to support her sisters, foregoing the ten rounds of psychological betting proposed by Yuzo Joel.
If she lost, the Eldest Brother’s points would be gone.
And then there’s Camden, it’s said he had put up the money from selling two large kidneys…
More importantly, the money invested by Dad was on the line. Losing money was frightening enough, but even more terrifying was the possibility that she would tarnish the reputation of the whole Farmstead!
In those short seconds, a myriad of negative thoughts raced through Mrs. Kiara’s mind, so much so that she was losing her composure.
Stay calm, you need to stay calm.
Kiara closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
The face of the man she trusted most instantly came to mind. What would Camden and Dad say to comfort her if they were here?
Believe in yourself, anyone who opposes you is a fool…
With that thought, Kiara actually smiled.
She must have been corrupted by Camden; there’s no way Dad would ever use such crass language. But maybe he would say something similar.
How can you consider giving up before the final second?
Akatenango was still presenting her case, confident. But seeing her opponent so relaxed, even smiling, unsettled Tenango.
She didn’t know that the thought of a basket brought a smile to Kiara’s face, assuming instead that there must have been a flaw in her own arguments. After all, they were pulled from a database, and mistakes in memory were possible.
Which of the arguments might be wrong…
As Tenango kept pondering, her previously smooth train of thought became scrambled by Kiara’s mysterious smile, a feeling familiar to anyone who has taken exams.
The first intuition is often the most accurate.
Many who initially answer correctly relying on their intuition often begin to doubt upon review, hesitatingly changing their answers.
But when the results come out, it might just be the changed answers that were actually correct!
