Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

"Ah?"

"Did we get it backwards?"

People on both sides were confused. Looking at the situation at hand, shouldn't it be the men who felt it was necessary and the women who felt it was unnecessary?

Of course, both sides were also very willing to debate in this direction, but now that their positions had suddenly swapped, they couldn't help feeling extremely uncomfortable with the change.

"How... how could it possibly be unnecessary?"

Thousand Waves frowned and muttered.

Lin Yi: "Don't get it twisted, you are here to debate the unnecessary. Going forward, everyone will have the opportunity to speak in turn. The affirmative and the opposing sides will proceed alternately. Each speech will be scored, and as long as it's on point, it will score at least one point. A more brilliant speech can earn upwards of two points, but if the speech is irrelevant to the topic or off-topic, points will be deducted, with a minimum of one point lost."

"There are three rounds in total. Coming up is the first round; the affirmative side will start with Qian Renxue. Please finish within thirty seconds."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, everyone indeed saw a panel floating in mid-air counting down the seconds from thirty.

Qian Renxue looked baffled. She had to argue for "necessary"?

She wasn't even married, she hadn't even kissed a man, how would she know if it was necessary or not?

Qian Renxue: "I..."

Facing the burning gaze of Thousand Waves, Qian Renxue felt even more embarrassed. How could she, as a granddaughter, have the face to say that it was necessary in front of her grandfather?

Lin Yi: "Thirty seconds up, Qian Renxue did not speak, one point deducted. The affirmative team is now at minus one point."

"Ah???"

Gu Yuena: "You lose points even if you don't speak?"

Lin Yi: "No kidding, the first speaker for the opposing side."

Chrysanthemum Douluo knew it was his turn, and the seconds on the screen began to count down. He said, "It's unnecessary! Completely unnecessary! Women are the most troublesome species. Just one look at them annoys me, how could I possibly want to get cozy with them? It's a waste of time."

[Effective statement of view +1, affirmative total score: +1]

This suddenly made the women on the opposite side widen their eyes.

Damn! Scoring points is so damn easy!

Next up, Poseissi from the affirmative side!

Although Poseissi was shy to speak, she still took on a serious expression and said, "I... I think it's necessary. One of the purposes of marriage is to reproduce, and it is a necessary process for reproduction."

[Citing evidence +2 points, opposing total score: +1 point]

The offensive was instantly turned around; Poseissi earned two points, making it a tie!

Thousand Waves frowned, now it was his turn.

"I think it's unnecessary! And I have to refute Xi Xi's argument. Marriage is not just for reproduction—it represents the testimony of a love story, and it pertains to two people. If one does not wish to comply but is forced to cater to the other, it's unfair. Take, for example, the special circumstance of this fellow right next to me. So, I believe, reproduction cannot be used as a reason, otherwise, what's the difference between humans and breeding machines?"

[Effective statement of view +1, rebuttal skill +1, citing evidence +1, team collaboration +1, affirmative total score: +5]

"Those were my words..."

Poseissi clenched her fists. Could the sides please switch back!? She screamed inwardly.

Thousand Waves was quite happy, high-fiving Tang Chen.

Next is Gu Yuena, 30-second countdown.

Gu Yuena spoke indifferently: "It's necessary. If I want it and he doesn't give it, I'd definitely kill him, so to prevent a murder case, this act is necessary."

Ah?

The men were all stunned, with Lin Yi's eyes wide open.

[Effective Point Articulation +1, Opposition Score: +2]

This won't do; Orange was getting anxious. This kind of debate clearly involved skill, and Gu Yuena's response was too personal, making it hard to score points.

Next up was Tang Chen, with a 30-second countdown.

Tang Chen: "I don't think it's necessary. First of all, I must refute the positive side's debater Gu Yuena's 'if you don't give it, then kill' statement. Such violent and bloody behavior should not be used as a reason. What's the difference between this and rape? Men have human rights too, right? Moreover, the cost of raising children is too high; an accident means gaining a burden, making life harder. It's better to prevent such behavior from happening at the source!"

After finishing, Thousand Waves gave him a thumbs-up.

Qian Renxue was dumbfounded, wondering how these two old guys could talk like this???

[Rebuttal Skill +1, Evidence Citation +1, Effective Point Articulation +1, Affirmative Score: +8]

Next was Orange, with a thirty-second countdown.

Orange took a deep breath, aware that her team was at a disadvantage under the current circumstances. After all, it would be embarrassing for the girls to express themselves, not to mention there were two soul beasts on their team who didn't quite understand worldly ethics.

Orange: "I think it is necessary. First, I want to refute the opponent debater Tang Chen's statement that children are burdens. No parent who loves their child should consider their own child a burden. I think Poseissi is right, it's precisely because of such behavior that we can give birth to offspring, and that's how Thousand Waves could have such a beautiful granddaughter."

"If it weren't for that behavior, where would Qian Renxue come from? Moreover, appropriate sexual activity helps maintain marital happiness, making the relationship between husband and wife more loving. Gu Yuena is not violent; she's just not good at expressing her love, if..."

"Time's up."

Orange wanted to continue, but the time was up.

[Effective Point Articulation +1, Rebuttal Skill +1, Evidence Citation +2, Team Coordination +2, Affirmative Score +8]

Seeing the scores tied at that moment, even though she hadn't finished speaking, Orange was relieved.

Her teammates looked at her as if they were looking at a war god.

It was Di Tian's turn next, with a thirty-second countdown.

Di Tian: "I think it's not necessary. First, I want to rebut Orange. My lord is not bad at expressing love; she really can kill people. Do you think she's joking?"

Gu Yuena's mouth twitched at his words.

Di Tian: "Moreover, my teammate Tang Chen is right, my lord could definitely do something like rape; despite being a woman, she has strong combat capabilities. No man could endure it. So, taking my lord as an example, if someone married her, they definitely should not engage in that behavior."

In the name of debate, Di Tian was all out, and those around him looked at him with respect.

"Di Tian!!! If you want to die, just say so!!!"

Gu Yuena leapt onto the table, about to charge over, but she was held back.

Di Tian's legs went weak for a moment as he hurriedly checked the scoring.

[Effective Point Articulation +1, Rebuttal Skill +1, Evidence Citation +1, Team Coordination +1, Opposition Score: +12]

Next was the last one for the affirmative, Bi Ji, with a thirty-second countdown starting.

Bi Ji: "What does sexual behavior mean?"

Gu Yuena frowned and quickly whispered an explanation in Bi Ji's ear.

After listening, Bi Ji quickly shook her head: "I don't want that, I don't want little Goose Gooses. Kids are such a nuisance."

[Debated for the Opposition -2, Affirmative Score: +6]
