IQ Showdown: Everyone Thinks I'm the Idiot Chapter 10
"The game show began as a project to find someone who could solve the calculations on the ancient manuscript. However, its significance has long since surpassed that."It has shown us that science isn't simply a solitary pursuit. It's a bridge connecting the past and the future. It's the only ladder by which human civilization can rise beyond its cradle."What matters is not me, nor any one person. What matters is the pursuit of knowledge itself—the undying curiosity and courage we possess when faced with the vastness of the universe."The interview was being broadcast live. I saw Charlotte, Eugenie, and Alicia standing together in the audience. The prejudice and doubt that had once filled their eyes were gone, replaced with a fiery passion that had been ignited within them.I knew that the almost ruthless pressure and trials I had subjected them to on the show had fulfilled their purpose.What I needed wasn't a group of obedient, by-the-book academics but fighters who, even after

Charlotte and the others screamed and dropped flat onto the ground, while I had already darted to the other side of the stone tablet the moment I pressed the button.Amid the dust, the thieves were knocked flat on the ground. Although none of them had been squashed beneath the bronze ornament, the massive shockwave and flying debris had left them dazed and disoriented. Their weapons had also been knocked from their hands.A chunk of bronze had fallen onto the leader's leg. Clutching his leg, he howled in agony.None of them could have ever imagined that this ancient city, which had lain dormant for a thousand years, could be used as a live trap to ensnare them."What's going on?""It's a trap! This godforsaken place must be covered in secret mechanisms!"The men shouted in terror as they struggled to their feet, grabbing at their weapons.Alas, it was too late.More than a dozen figures rushed in through the shrine's many entrances. They wore special operations gear and carried

A man in a hooded jacket stepped out of the shadows, his voice hoarse and sinister as he called out, "Hello, Dr. X. I've heard a lot about you. I'm going to need you to come with us. Our boss is very interested in the final calculations for your model."The man held the gun perfectly steadily, his hand not trembling in the slightest. It was obvious he was a professional.Alicia had turned pale from fright. Charlotte and Eugenie instinctively tried to shield me, but their bodies were so stiff with fear that they couldn't move.I simply remained where I was, unmoving."I don't have a completed version of my model yet," I calmly replied, my gaze sweeping past the gun to the shadows behind him. "I see you brought four others with you. Five people just to recruit me? That's quite a show of force."The man stiffened. It was apparent that he didn't expect me to remain so calm, let alone have the presence of mind to count how many people he'd brought with him."I shouldn't have expected

The most crucial piece of information to complete the graviton turbulence model I'd been working on for years was hidden inside that lost ancient city of Louviere.When the helicopter circled above the coordinates, there was nothing below except endless dunes.Voices of doubt began filling the livestream chat."Is that all? I thought this was supposed to be some lost city? There's nothing but sand for miles around!""Is he going to make a fool of himself after all?"Ignoring the cameras, I pulled out my tablet, bringing up the geological radar scan I'd already prepared."According to my calculations, an updraft forms on the windward side, carrying away the sand. A vortex forms on the leeward side, causing the sediment to accumulate."I pointed to an extremely inconspicuous depression on the screen and gave the pilot an order."Head 17 degrees east of north from the coordinates and descend 100 feet. The sand layer beneath that depression has an abnormal density. There's a hollow

"Horace Jefferson, in addition to bribery and academic fraud, you are also suspected of stealing classified research data from a national institute. I imagine your legal team is going to be very busy," I remarked.At that moment, the side door of the studio flew open. Several uniformed police officers with stern expressions walked straight through the crowd. All eyes were on them as they walked right up to the VIP section.The grim-faced lead officer showed his badge to Horace before saying, "Mr. Horace Jefferson, you are suspected of multiple cases of bribery and theft of trade secrets. You'll need to come with us."Naturally, the filming for the game show could no longer continue. The police took Horace away, and the production staff had to drag the limp Anthony off as well. His face, once hailed by his many fans as being that of a prodigy and a heartthrob, now held nothing but utter despair.The studio descended into chaos, and the livestream was abruptly cut off.Escorted by a

In an instant, the remaining color in Anthony's face drained out as well. His lips trembled, but he couldn't speak at all. He wanted to shout at me, to ask me who the hell I thought I was, but the words got stuck in his throat.The cameras on set shoved in close to our faces, frantically trying to capture every detail of his breakdown. The livestream chat was blowing up, too."Holy crap! He's the director of the National Institute of Physics? He was offered a spot at the top universities in the country at just 14 years old? What the hell? Is this some kind of fairy tale?""X… His codename is X? I remember now! That academic paper published in Nature last year that completely overturned the existing physics model was written by someone with the codename X!""So the guy we've been mocking and calling a brainless pretty boy this whole time is actually the director of the National Institute of Physics? He's X, the legendary figure in the physics world?""I can't believe it. I feel lik
