Chapter 47

Episode 047: White Intellectuality (4)

[Step 11. with atomic number 83 is called ‘changyeon(蒼鉛)’ in Korean. Which of the following is the name of , which also acts as a powerful antibacterial agent against Helicobacter pylori, which causes gastric and duodenal ulcers?]

1. Astatine

2. Bismuth

3. Iodine

when the problem arises. Jo Min-soo, an incumbent doctor, predicted his victory.

‘Did the literati memorize all the element symbols?’

But at the same time, I was also concerned that his wish for a flawless victory seemed to have faded a bit.

As far as science and medicine related issues have been raised.

This was because the production team could have been involved in rumors that it was intentionally pushed.

‘Do something useless…’

When I thought that the Chinese New Year might be sprinkled on my historical meeting with Son Na-yoon, who should be perfect, question 11 did not seem so good.

‘Well, I’m glad it ended well.’

As it had already happened anyway, there was no way I could turn it around now that I didn’t like it.

‘Only the other two have become pitiful.’

He pressed the answer when he thought of Joon-young, who was struggling with the problem, and Hyung-gyeong Lee, a lawyer.

However.

“Yes, the correct answer to step 11 is bismuth 2. Now, let’s check your answers. Are you really a loser?”

The MC makes a fuss and confirms who has been eliminated.

“Who is the loser? There is not a single one in the world. All 3 challengers pass in the 11th level question! This is an unbelievable result.”

Moment. Jo Min-soo’s face contorted slightly. And a smile forms on Lee Hyung-sik’s lips as he looks at him.

* * *

Contestant No. 16 and lawyer Lee Hyung-sik looked at Jo Min-soo’s face distorted and smiled lightly.

Apparently, the doctor, Min-soo Cho, seemed confident of his victory when the science-related problem number 11 came up.

In fact, Jo Min-soo’s prediction was hardly wrong. If he had been a typical lawyer, he would have been embarrassed to see the elemental problem that popped up out of nowhere.

But the problem was that he wasn’t a “normal” lawyer.

he is none other than

‘Since then, I have been the only lawyer specializing in medical litigation for 5 years.’

He was a medical litigation lawyer specializing in medical litigation in hospitals.

Furthermore.

‘Are you still using what you memorized in 2nd grade like this?’

Although he was a watermelon licker, it was only for a short time, but as much as he was a person who ate injections in medical school for two years. For him, a problem of this magnitude did not fit into the axis of difficult problems.

He didn’t have very pleasant memories of his two years in medical school, but he was content with the fact that there were times when he could help.But then.

In Lee Hyung-sik’s eyes, he could see Min-soo Jo, who managed to manage his facial expressions, and the MC with a deep smile. They were having a short conversation disguised as an interview.

“Oh, sir, I am so sorry. When the problem came up, I thought in my heart that the teacher would win. But… the common sense of other people is really amazing.”

It was a subtle whisper.

Watching Min-soo Jo’s lips tremble at the MC’s words, Hyung-soo Lee felt a savory taste on his tongue.

In fact, he didn’t like Jo Min-soo from the beginning. It was because he could feel the emotions he had seen countless times in Jo Min-soo’s eyes.

It is the gaze of ‘you are under my feet’.

Things like the mindset of starting with people outside of their own fences under their feet, or the unique self-righteousness of those who started out in an environment more favorable than others.

Lee Hyung-sik didn’t like him because he could feel the things he had been through so much that he could feel it in Jo Min-soo’s eyes.

“Nevertheless, I think Na-yoon Son will be happy. It’s because the two fans are advancing to the 12th stage side by side. Isn’t that right, Son Na-yun?”

When the MC asked Na-yun Son, Na-yun Son smiled and nodded his head.

Then, Jo Min-soo’s gaze stuck to Son Na-yoon and did not fall.

Fireworks flew out of Lee Hyung-sik’s eyes as he watched the scene. It was a very cold flame.

In fact, it was nothing more than an excuse to say something like a gold spoon. The decisive reason why Lee Hyung-soo hates Jo Min-soo.

That’s right.

‘You look at Na-yun with those dirty eyes.’

It was because of Jo Min-soo’s gaze towards Son Na-yoon.

Jo Min-soo’s eyes looking at Na-yoon Son as if looking at sweet ice cream.

Jo Min-soo was sending the gaze that should never be touched by Son Na-yoon, who became the vitality of his dry and dry life, without any hesitation.

‘He’s a toxic fan.’

A red light came on in Lee Hyung-sik’s instinct, which was armed with a ‘dislike’ towards Son Na-yoon to the bone.

He began to look at Jo Min-soo with sharp eyes.

Sometimes there were fans like that. People who have forgotten reality and ideals, think that he can become a lover beyond a fan.

Most end up with a delusion, but sometimes dangerous people put the delusion into practice.

they are right

‘Gold spoons’

People who try to achieve their desires by any means using complicated networks. They had a mindset of ‘If you can’t have it, I’ll destroy it.’

‘But our Nayun will never do it.’

Hyung-tae Lee looked at Na-yoon Son. She talks to her staff with her clear smile.

If she was her level of fame, she would suffer from a star disease and she would be a no-brainer, but she looked the same before and after she rose.

‘A person who is so pure…’

His will was burning more and more.

Thinking that he was the only one who could protect her bright smile, he reaffirmed his will.

If Son Na-yun did not fulfill his promise, he was lucky, but if he ever tried to fulfill his promise, he had to prevent Jo Min-soo from standing there.

‘Well, as long as I’m there, it won’t happen.’

However, he was the type of person who was confident that no one would be able to approach Son Na-yun as long as he was confident.

And that moment.

“Ah, it looks like the 12-step problem is ready.”

It was seen that the production team gave a signal to the MC whether the preparation for the question was completed.

Then the MC nodded and started the process while looking at the camera.

“This is the first time in two years that we will enter the 12-stage overtime. I am really looking forward to how long this race will last.”

The MC, who looked at the challengers for a moment, points to the screen with an exaggerated gesture.

“Now, show me the 12-step problem!”

As soon as the MC finishes speaking, a problem appears on the screen.

[Step 12. When the U.S. Customs Act was passed in 1887, a tax on vegetables was passed, a debate arose as to whether tomatoes were fruits or vegetables. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that tomatoes were vegetables.

1. You can cook it on a hot fire and eat it

2. Because it is a plant of the Solanaceae family

3. It comes out for dinner, but it doesn’t come out for dessert.

Seeing the problem, Lee Hyung-sik looked at Jo Min-soo and smiled deeply.

Jo Min-soo’s face was distorted.

* * *

I pressed my answer slowly and looked around.

The lawyer right next to me was looking around with a relaxed expression to see if he had pressed the button right away.

On the other hand, the person who introduced himself as a doctor has reached the end of 30 seconds and he has yet to make a decision.

He was repeatedly scratching his head, putting his hand on the wooden box with the button hidden, and repeating subtraction.

He had a hard time deciding. When I first saw the step 12 problem, I was stunned too.

It seemed to me that the production team knew what purpose they placed the problems.

‘Perhaps it is to clarify the competitive structure between the two.’

One medical problem, one legal problem. These were issues that were slightly off-center, but at this point, they were just talking out loud.

But it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Due to the nature of the broadcast, it is inevitable that the viewership ratings will depend on it anyway. Because I was aware that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis.

‘Are you glad you didn’t win or lose?’

She smiles and looks at the filming set. PD with a smile on his face, Na-yoon Son who is cheering brightly, and the dropouts with exhausted expressions caught my eye.

The recording time was already over 3 hours. It felt like the staff were rushing to shoot.

Not much left now.

“Come on, 5 seconds left.”

MC said as if urging.

Then the doctor, who had been contemplating repeatedly, raised his face and pressed the button.

I don’t know which button he pressed, but the look on his face didn’t make him very happy.

But then the lawyer sitting next to me gently turned his head towards me. Then he opened his mouth with a smile.

“Thanks for your efforts.”

·····················································································?

Suddenly, he let out an unfamiliar sound.

Let me just open my mouth to talk to him.

“Oh, you can’t gossip.”

A voice came from the side of the set. When I glanced back, it was a staff watching the challengers.



Nominally, it was said to prevent the poor set from collapsing, but it was more like preventing contenders from doing useless things.

I nod my head and the steps back. The MC turns around and opens his mouth.

“Okay, now let’s check the 12-step problem.”

Even looking at the camera.

“Who will the prize money of 23.65 million won and the seat of white intellectual property really belong? Let’s check it out right now.”

The MC turned to the screen and shouted.

“Show me the answer.”

OK.

The correct answer was displayed on the screen.

And that moment.

One person’s face collapsed, and an expression of surprise appeared on the other.

The one who fell

“This is nonsense…”

It was Jo Min-soo, a doctor.

He was staring at the screen with the problem on his face with a cold, hardened face. I could see his clenched hand trembling.

“this···”

At that moment, I heard the voice of lawyer Lee Hyung-sik sitting next to me. I turn around and Lee Hyung-sik laughs lightly.

“…it’s been fun.”

he said with a leisurely laugh.

A deep curiosity was felt in the depths of his eyes. I nodded and answered him.

“Iknow, right.”

His and mine eyes met in the air.

Over his shoulder, he could see the light illuminating Jo Min-soo’s seat turning off with a ‘tak’ sound.

“Now, there are only two challengers left. It seems that the end of a long battle is near. Everyone, please subscribe to the channel!”

The MC’s voice reached her ears.
