Chapter 200 Charge! For the right to choose between two options!
Among the crowd, the few first-stage Karami were the most silent.
His face instantly went from pale to deathly white, even taking on a desperate, ashen hue.
"Holy crap......."
The folk singer's lips trembled:
"Sister Zhao, according to you..."
"If the 'two-option' rule were applied to your group..."
"Then the remaining three groups... doesn't that mean only one person from each group can survive?!"
"and!"
Another girl was about to cry:
"If a noob like us is grouped with Jiang Baizhi, and Sister Zhao, you're not here..."
"Teacher Na-young will definitely only protect Jiang Baizhi!"
"Then we'll just become cannon fodder? Without even a chance to struggle?"
Zhao Xier shrugged, looking helpless.
"That's up to fate."
"After all, there aren't many capable trainees in Group Two that Nayoung would dare to use her power against."
"So, I'm not worried; you're the ones who should be worried."
"......"
The lounge was instantly filled with groans and cries of despair.
Several weaker trainees huddled together, trembling, staring at the stunningly beautiful Jiang Baizhi in the corner as if she were a black hole about to devour them.
"Mom, I want to go home..."
"This is way too curly!"
A sense of despair was spreading.
but.
Humans have an extremely strong ability to adapt.
After despairing, the folk singer secretly glanced at Jiang Bai, who was quiet and beautiful in the corner.
Looking at Jiang Bai's exquisite profile, the warm pearl hair clip, and that retro heiress outfit that is unforgettable at first glance.
The folk singer suddenly felt relieved.
"Sigh, I've come to terms with it."
He sighed, but a faint, self-deceptive smile appeared on his face.
"So be it."
"To be able to compete on the same stage as a goddess of this caliber is an honor in itself!"
"And think about it..."
The young man lowered his voice, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light:
How popular is Jiang Baizhi right now?
"If you're in a group with her, you're guaranteed to get the most screen time!"
"Even if I get eliminated, as long as I act pitiful on stage, or interact with the goddess..."
"So I've already benefited from this surge in traffic, haven't I?"
"Being criticized is still being famous, and even traffic gained through association is still traffic!"
These words were spoken.
The eyes of the people who were trembling instantly lit up.
"Holy crap! That makes sense!"
"Losing to a goddess is nothing to be ashamed of!"
"Yes! Even if we're playing a supporting role, we should be the most prominent one!"
In a short time.
The atmosphere in Nayoung's lounge suddenly changed.
The way everyone looked at Jiang Bai was no longer fear, but a longing—"Choose me! Choose me! I want to be your cannon fodder!"
.......
next door.
Lee Ronghao's team rest area.
The art style here is more normal... or rather, more curly.
Knowing the harsh competition format in advance, everyone was practicing their songs as fast as they could.
The sounds of humming, hawing, and heying during vocal exercises were incessant.
However, as they practiced, the topic always veered off course.
"Hey, we've been recording for so long, why isn't it Jiang Baizhi's turn yet?"
A boy put down his lyric book and couldn't help but peek towards the door.
"Yeah, I was so anxious."
Another student chimed in:
"I just found her online, but I haven't met her in person yet!"
"I heard that the real person is 10,000 times more beautiful than in the video, it's like they have a built-in filter."
"I really want to go take a look next door..."
Someone suggested:
"How about we sneak out? Pretend to go to the restroom and just pass by Nayoung's rest room?"
"And perhaps gather some military intelligence while we're at it?"
Zhao Tian, who was in the corner, twitched his ears. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly said, "Count me in."
however.
Before they could even put it into action.
The staff members guarding the entrance stood there like gatekeepers.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"It's almost your turn, so no one is allowed to run around!"
"You all better stay put!"
The group could only sit back down dejectedly.
"Alas... How heartless."
"We'll have to wait until the second round of the melee to see."
"I hope Nayoung's team can pull through and not eliminate our goddess."
"It's unlikely they'll be eliminated, considering they were one of only two fourth-tier trainees selected through blind auditions."
Just as both sides in the lounge were harboring their own secrets.
On stage, the second group's assessment was coming to an end.
In the rest room of Na Ying's team, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense when the staff came in with the list.
"Group Three, Jiang Baizhi..."
Once the name was read aloud.
"call......."
Zhao Xier, whose name wasn't called, and a few other survivors breathed a long sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a calamity.
The three unlucky ones who were chosen felt both sad and happy.
"Oh no, Barbie Q is gone."
"Teaming with the Demon King? Isn't that just suicide?"
"The only consolation is that Teacher Nayoung hasn't used the 'dual selection right' yet, so hope is just around the corner... although it's very slim."
"If I share the stage with Jiang Baizhi, my viewership will definitely be even higher!"
"Well, stopping here is fine too. At least losing to Jiang Baizhi isn't unjust!"
The four of them got up and went to the preparation room.
.......
In the preparation room.
The cameras were set up, and pre-match interviews began.
The interviews with the first three people were extremely harmonious, even a little eerie.
They should have been fierce rivals, but now they all seemed to be attending a fan meeting.
"I feel very honored to be in the same group as the goddess Jiang Baizhi."
"Yeah, I hope to absorb some of the goddess's ethereal aura. Even if I'm eliminated, I'll accept it."
"Go Bai Zhi! We believe you'll win the championship!"
These three people were clearly completely impressed by Jiang Bai's [Charm Value 13] and [Fourth-Rank Aura], and their mentality had already been laid down before they even took the stage.
Jiang Bai sat to the side, somewhat bewildered.
"No... what are you doing?"
"This is a competition! Why are you all sending me your blessings?"
He blinked. If advancing so easily, the show won't be interesting when it airs!
To gain more traffic and popularity, he has to do something.
Immediately, Jiang Bai revealed a gentle and encouraging smile, activating her goddess mode:
"Please, everyone, don't do that."
"The competition hasn't even started yet, so it's still uncertain who will win or lose."
"Besides, Teacher Nayoung hasn't used her 'double selection right' yet; maybe she'll use it in our group?"
"If everyone performs at their best, we have a chance to advance together!"
"Go for it! I believe in you guys!"
Jiang Bai gave the three of them a small thumbs-up.
boom!
This encouragement from the goddess had an effect comparable to a stimulant.
The three, who had been looking dejected, were now looking at Jiang Bai's warm smile and his clear, sincere eyes.
The blood in my veins was instantly ignited!
The three of them instantly became incredibly energetic, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"The goddess is right!"
"I can't let my goddess down!"
"Even if it's just to spend a little more time with my goddess, I'll do it!"
"Go for it! For the right to choose between the two options!"
