Chapter 1079: The grand champion is born!
Translator: Legge Editor: LeggeAt the venue of the grand finals.
The Clown walked back to his seat in the front row.
Amy came over and asked anxiously, "Teacher, which famous figure are you, really? Can you stop teasing us like this? I beg of you, please tell me! I"m dying of curiosity!"
Xiaodong stared at The Clown.
Li Xiaoxian and the others were also looking at him.
The final song had been performed. However, The Clown still did not take off his mask. A lot of people were very curious but also very worried about The Clown at the same time. There was not much time left as it was the last performance in the battle for the grand champion. Since this was the final sprint, why are you still not taking off your mask? What are you still waiting for? It"ll be too late to reveal yourself when the results are announced! You still have some time to increase your number of votes if you reveal your face now!
Flowing Time was feeling rather nervous as he looked at The Clown.
King of Oddity was feeling the same, his fingers continuously fidgeting and tapping his thigh. Clearly, he was not as calm as he looked.
They naturally did not wish for The Clown to reveal himself!
This song had actually impressed the two of them. Although the lyrics were scolding them, they were still impressed with it!
w.a.n.g Zhuishu asked, "Who are you?"
The Clown still did not answer.
He had promised Spinach!
Is there no recognition for those of us who just want to sing earnestly?
Zhang Ye wanted to tell her that this path was not a dead end and that she could still continue journeying down it!
Therefore, he was very insistent on not revealing his face!
"Teacher?"
"Famous person?"
"Say something?"
The Clown smiled and shook his head in silence.
Amy huffed and tried again to change his mind.
Li Xiaoxian tugged at her. "Don"t."
After listening to the song "Exaggerated," they understood Teacher Clown"s character. He definitely would not change his mind once he had decided on something. Li Xiaoxian clearly understood that before the results were announced, The Clown would surely not take off his mask. There was no reason, but she just knew that it would be like this.
Dong Shanshan appeared back onstage.
She checked the remaining time before announcing, "Now that the final song has been performed, we"re only three minutes away from the end of the voting. The voting window will close in three minutes!"
In the audience.
His mother quickly said, "I"m going to vote as well. Mengmeng, how do I vote? Help me vote, quickly!"
His third sister took the cell phone from her and asked, "Who do you want to vote for?"
His mother said, "For The Clown, of course! Do you even need to ask? This young man sang so well! His parents are also here today, and they"re seated here in the crowd with us. How can we allow his parents to witness him getting last place despite singing so well? Just how heart-wrenching would that be! Hurry up and vote!"
His father nodded firmly. "Well said. Mengmeng, take my cell phone too."
His third sister went right into action. "OK, I"ll help the two of you to vote!"
His second sister said loudly, "I voted for The Clown too. Is there still time to catch up? There"s probably not enough time for that, right?"
His eldest sister slapped her thigh and said, "The difference in the votes from earlier was just too much! If it was just a difference of a few hundred thousand votes, he could definitely catch up. But the difference was 2 to 3 million votes! So how can he possibly catch up?"
His second sister slapped her forehead and said, "Oh no, oh no! My idol won"t be crowned grand champion!"
At the venue, many of the audience members were rus.h.i.+ng to vote as well!
There were less than 3 minutes left!
Dong Shanshan announced, "Alright, let"s take a look at the latest tallies. Can we have our staff pull it up on the big screen? Thank you."
These words made everyone even more nervous!
When they heard, everyone immediately looked up!
Zhang Yuanqi looked at the screen with narrowed eyes!
Zhang Xia stared with wide eyes!
Chen Guang and Fan Wenli did not blink at all!
Everyone"s attention focused on the big screen!
The television viewers were also watching intently!
Li Xiaoxian clenched her fists!
Backstage, Liao Yiqi (Spinach) took a deep breath, as she was so nervous that her hands were trembling!
The Clown"s liaison, Han Qi, had already closed her eyes. She was afraid to even peek. Clasping her hands together and facing the big screen, she kept chanting some words that the staff around her could not understand. She sounded like she was praying!
Only King of Oddity and Flowing Time felt a little relaxed. When they heard that The Clown would not be taking off his mask, they felt completely at ease and heaved a long sigh of relief. To them, as long The Clown did not take off his mask, he would have no chance of winning today even if Zhang Yuanqi"s ident.i.ty had already been exposed. The main issue here was that Zhang Yuanqi"s mask had fallen off too late, during the last few minutes of the compet.i.tion before the final song began. It would not help The Clown much even if she was the Heavenly Queen!
First place should stay with Flowing Time!
King of Oddity"s position in the top three was also guaranteed!
Xiao Lu said, "What a shame."
Dafei sighed. "It was a bit too late. If it happened a little earlier…hai!"
Hou Ge said, "He really had the ability to be crowned the champion, but it was too little, too late!"
Following that, the tallies were displayed on the big screen!
When they saw the results, the entire venue fell dead silent!
First:
Flowing Time, 4.01 million votes!
Second:
The Clown, 3.56 million votes!
Third:
Petal Shower, 3.21 million votes!
Amy was dumbfounded by the results!
Fan Wenli and Chen Guang looked at each other in astonishment!
Zhang Yuanqi smiled!
Xiaodong screamed, "Oh my goodness!"
The audience suddenly boiled over with excitement!
Many people jumped up in shock!
His parents got very excited!
Zhang Ye"s three sisters wore shocked expressions!
Zhang Xia, Yao Jiancai, and the others were all staring at the screen in disbelief!
"He"s catching up!"
"f.u.c.k, The Clown is catching up!"
"He"s catching up from a million votes behind!"
"His votes tripled?"
"Ahhhh!"
"Are you serious?"
"The difference is only 400,000 votes! It"s only a difference of 400,000 now!"
"Oh my G.o.d!"
"This is crazy! This is f.u.c.king crazy!"
Flowing Time was so shocked that he nearly fell out of his chair!
How is that possible!
Just how is that possible!
How could he have caught up?
There"s no reason for him to have caught up!
Jiang Hanwei was stunned and his jaw dropped!
King of Oddity and his guest partner were also stunned!
It…it was just impossible!
There were only 90 seconds left to go!
Flowing Time"s tally had already stopped moving. It seemed to have stopped at 4.01 million votes while The Clowns" tally was still surging up at an incredible rate!
3.60 million!
3.70 million!
3.80 million!
Dong Shanshan froze onstage!
No one thought The Clown would actually catch up!
No one thought The Clown would actually achieve a feat that even the G.o.ds might not be able to achieve!
There were still 40 seconds to go!
There were still 39 seconds to go!
The entire audience stood up!
A lot of people could not take this excitement and were so nervous that their hearts nearly burst from their chests!
Countless viewers watching TV started screaming. They were witnessing a miracle right now!
3.85 million!
3.90 million!
3.95 million!
Counting down to the last ten seconds!
Backstage, Spinach was finding it hard to stifle her emotions as she rushed back into the theater!
Han Qi looked at the tally on the screen, and tears rolled down uncontrollably!
Dumbfounded, Hu Fei gazed at the screen!
Everyone looked at the screen with stunned faces!
3.98 million!
Five seconds!
Four seconds!
3.99 million!
4 million!
4.01 million!
4.02 million!
At this moment, the voting ended!
Looking at the final results of the voting, everyone was stunned. Then, they suddenly screamed and cheered!
"He won!"
"He won!"
"He really won!"
"The Clown is the Masked King!"
"Ahhhhhhh!"
"Masked King!"
"Masked King!"
"Masked King!"
"Masked King!"
"Masked King!"
The audience started chanting in unison!
Even the ceiling was almost blown away!
