Chapter 913: Even If You Were Cheating, There Should Be a Limit, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was no wonder their expressions changed suddenly.
It was one thing to know what they were going to do, but to be so completely indifferent and, in fact, confident that they would win despite knowing, was another! If they could say that, then it was obvious that Li Nianwei and this young lady came prepared!
But, what kind of preparation did they have? They did not even have any accompanying dancers or musicians, it was just the two of them!
On their side, including singers and dancers, there were more than a thousand people in the hall! It was true that no one would die if they fought here because they were in the Virtual World. Because of this, if so many people started fighting, even if everyone just said one thing and gave one kick, it would be enough to completely destroy the mood of the two of them.
When they went on stage, their performance would be affected.
In general, people who had a good chance of winning were happy to do it, and those who were unlikely to win found it amusing. Anyway, they were just joining in the fun, and since it would not really affect them, it was just fun to kill people off!
However, both of them had weird expressions on their faces. That could only mean one thing: something was up!
As a result, when everyone was still deciding what to do, all of them were completely overwhelmed!
"Sister Nianwei, people will not die here, right?" Tang Muxin smiled. "In that case, we don"t have to hold back!"
"Of course." Li Nianwei smiled gently, but the atmosphere in the entire hall turned completely tense in an instant!
Swish—
A gentle breeze rose. Li Nianwei and Tang Muxin instantly created two elemental b.a.l.l.s, one blue and the other gold!
Showing people something like that meant that Tang Muxin"s and Li Nianwei"s ident.i.ties were about to be exposed…
"Elemental revolving mages… They are Elemental revolving mages!" Everyone was completely stunned! Who would have thought that Elemental revolving mages would partic.i.p.ate in a compet.i.tion like this one?!
They were one of the most powerful groups in the Virtual World. Just one Elemental revolving mage in the Virtual World was worth 20 million and above! And an Elemental revolving mage with a popularity level of 85 million?!
Even if you were cheating, there should be a limit, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
"Sister Nianwei, I will not hold back, then!" Tang Muxin grinned, and then the energy level of her blue elemental ball exploded.
Crackle, crackle—
A cloud of white smoke appeared, and in the blink of an eye, everything in the entire preparation hall was covered with a layer of white frost! Li Nianwei, who had cooperated with Tang Muxin for so long, naturally did not hold back either. Anyway, the other party had already shed all pretense of cordiality, she had no reason to sympathize with them at all. Because, if she and Tang Muxin were not Elemental revolving mages, they would be the tragic ones!
Woosh, Woosh, Woosh—!!!
Countless steel spikes shot through the floor of the hall in an instant, impaling their attackers onto the wall!
After all, this was the Virtual World. They would not really die, but their attackers would still need to pay for their misdeeds…
There were so many people nailed to the wall, just looking at them brought terror. Although no one would feel the pain, many people still screamed in horror at the sight.
Then, Li Nianwei gave her power a little boost. Everyone turned into a white light and returned to the resurrection point…
"It"s finally quiet." Tang Muxin grinned and wrinkled her cute little nose, then said, "Sigh, why did they have to do that…"
"Yeah." Li Nianwei also smiled. These people were here to spoil her mood, but because she was able to use her abilities, Li Nianwei was in a pretty good mood. "I feel good after teaching them a lesson."
At this moment, Tang Muxin looked like a little devil. "Well, Sister Nianwei, why don"t we do it again when they come back alive?"
"It should be quite a long time still before it"s my turn to go on stage. I can play with them during this time." Yes, this time, the attack had completely awakened the s.a.d.i.s.tic part of Li Nianwei and she quickly agreed.
It was a great tragedy for everyone in the rest hall…
They wished they could really die. They died and were brought back to life, then died again. Because they needed to go on stage, they had no choice but to return. But once they returned, they were either frozen to death or impaled. It was a real tragedy.
And while they were busy dying and getting resurrected, the battle between a hundred cities in Sing! Milky Way began…
"Authentic good Aristocrats and authentic good voices, welcome to Sing! Milky Way—the Hundred City Showdown, sponsored by the Galaxy Aristocrats! There are one hundred main cities taking part in this compet.i.tion, with a total of three hundred contestants." The host announced the start of the contest. "And, because it is the Hundred City Showdown, this compet.i.tion will use Audition Stones to evaluate the singer"s voice quality. Now, let me introduce the four judges of this Hundred City Showdown! They are—
"The champion of the last Sing! Milky Way compet.i.tion, Mentor Claire!" Claire was a woman of about 26 or 27 years old and extremely beautiful. She quickly stood up when she heard herself being introduced and raised her hands in greeting. The audience responded with enthusiastic applause.
After all, the ability and charm of one who was able to become the champion among a hundred cities would definitely not be a joke.
"Sing! Milky Way, Mentor Felix, third place in the last Galaxy Alliance Finals." The applause continued. Felix was a man in his thirties who had gotten third place in the Galaxy Alliance Finals. This ranking was an indication of his ability—his good looks were a must.
"Famous composer, Mr. Frank. Everyone knows that in recent years, Mr. Frank has produced songs loved by countless listeners. Everyone, please give him a big round of applause!" The applause continued. At the Galaxy Alliance Center, many of the very popular songs that were liked by many people were written by him. He was well-known.
"The last judge. Let"s welcome the famous music G.o.dfather, Mr. Dulles! As the G.o.dfather of the music world, his students get a very high ranking in each Sing! Milky Way!" Dulles was an honest-looking middle-aged man. He wore a black tuxedo and, although he looked stern, the audience still applauded him warmly.
The host introduced the four judges and then announced the official start of the compet.i.tion. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, there are three hundred outstanding singers in this compet.i.tion. I believe everyone can"t wait! Then I shall announce that Sing! Milky Way, the Hundred City Showdown, officially begins now! Let"s welcome our first performer—the contestant from the main city of Sayo, Ms. Edith! Applause, please!"
The compet.i.tion thus began and the audience started cheering.
After all, this was a top-notch showdown. Every contestant had a popularity rating of at least 50 million. That was two or three levels up from the ratings of the contestants in the previous round of the compet.i.tion.
Soon, the lady named Edith came onto the stage.
The music accompaniment played, and she began to sing.
But before she sang a few verses, the audience started booing! Not because of anything else, but because Edith was not only not well-groomed, her expression was troubled, and her voice often trembled. The accompanying singers were a little off-key as well and the accompanying dancers were forgetting their steps…
Then, Edith sang for less than two minutes before she could no longer continue, and ran down the stage crying…
"What"s happening?" Claire, one of the four judges, looked at the others. "Her emotional quality is terrible. She actually had stage fright!"
"This setting is huge. There is a huge number of people in the audience, it"s normal that she feels stressed." Felix shook his head. "She"ll definitely be eliminated. In fact, I actually think that according to the unspoken rules, she may have been badly affected by something that happened backstage."
"Well, it should be something like that." Frank nodded. "I think that must be it, oh, poor thing."
"All right, let"s look at her results." Dulles said, "Although she did not perform well, we still have to give marks." Then, he held up his sign. "30 marks from me."
"Same." "Same." "Same." Everyone gave 30 points—well, full marks was 100 points…
At this time, the final evaluation of Edith"s singing was displayed on the Audition Stone—
"Edith. Pitch: 46 points, Tone: 42 points, Range: 84 points."
When they saw the low score on the Audition Stone, the audience booed even louder. "How did a player of this caliber get in?" "Yeah, even if she was here to disgrace herself, there should be a limit as to how far she can go, right? This is an insult to the contest!"
Of course, no matter how tragic it was, this was just part of the show. In a normal contest, this did not raise any eyebrows at all—the host took the stage very decisively and announced. "Next, please welcome our second contestant onto the stage!"
Honestly speaking, people were actually looking forward to this second contestant"s performance.
After all, it was normal for the first one who went on stage to perform abnormally. But after the second singer went on stage, the audience began to boo. "What"s the situation, this is another one whose performance is abnormally bad!" "Today is really interesting. Eh, do you think those at the back are like this too?" "It"s hard to say, is it possible that these contestants are all collectively s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g up today?" "Let them screw up however they want. Anyway, I came here for Li Nianwei." "Same, same. Watch the contest, watch the contest, haha!"
The second singer, too, left the stage in tears…
Audition Stone: Alek. Pitch: 48 points, Tone: 54 points, Range: 87 points.
The four judges whispered to each other, "Another one who is performing abnormally." "It"s still okay, he left rather quickly…" "Well, thirty points, I guess. Next, next." "It should not happen with the third one, right?"
Soon, the third singer went on stage…
