The uproar on the Star Network naturally spread to the various Chaotic Stars.
"Boss, I hear that D-level female doesn’t have a partner or any protection. Should we..." The male who spoke made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.
"Are you crazy? Ever since those guys worked with the Insect Race to snatch females, the Empire has set up heavy security on all its major planets.
Not to ntion an Academy Star like this one. Practically every city on it has an academy. Do you think a planet like that is easy to sneak into?"
"Alright..." The underling gave up, disappointed.
anwhile, other factions on the Chaotic Stars were discussing the sa issue.
"Boss, should we go grab her and send her to the Doctor?"
"What’s so great about a D-level female? The cost is too high."
"Forget it. Let’s just wait and see for now."
"Actually, the main target should be that female, Jiang Qin. She’s the one who wrote the song. This D-level female never showed any reaction before; it was only this ti that there was so effect."
And the effect was minuscule. Ultimately, they still had to get their hands on Jiang Qin.
She was the source, after all.
"But then again, she’s just a D-level female. It should be fine if we just grab her for so research."
’The Empire can’t possibly raise a huge fuss over a low-level female from a low-level star, right?’
"But now isn’t a good ti to make a move. Let’s wait for her to leave."
「 ... 」
After the show was paused, Jiang Qin simply had her two students go continue practicing on their own while she stayed by Xiong Yuanyuan’s side.
She finally woke up after lying down for three hours.
A dical Master ca over, asked so detailed questions, and then said, "There’s nothing serious. Go back and rest. Don’t use your spiritual power again anyti soon.
If you can afford it, buy so Advanced or Special Level nutrient liquid to supplent your nutrition. You’re a bit malnourished."
"Okay," Xiong Yuanyuan said, still a little dazed.
Jiang Qin helped her up, walked her back to her dorm to rest, and left three vials of Special Level Nutrient Liquid.
She wasn’t surprised that Interstellar People could suffer from malnourishnt.
After all, she had also been chronically malnourished during her childhood.
If it weren’t for the Physique Enhancent Potion rewarded by the system, she probably still wouldn’t have recovered from the terrible aftereffects from back then.
"Get so good rest. The show will probably start broadcasting again tomorrow, so get ready."
"Okay, thank you, ntor."
"It’s nothing. Contact if you need anything."
Sure enough, after confirming that Xiong Yuanyuan’s health was not in serious trouble, the production team started the live broadcast the following evening.
Viewers flooded into the broadcast room, and the online audience quickly surpassed one hundred million.
[I thought it would be off-air for a few days. I didn’t expect it to co back so soon.]
[Well, nothing serious happened to Xiong Yuanyuan, so of course they have to continue the broadcast. Besides, if sothing really was wrong, she should be the one to withdraw from the show. It has nothing to do with the production team.]
[Good thing it wasn’t off-air for many days, or we’d be crying foul.]
[Everyone only got one night and one day off. It’s actually fine.]p>[I hope things go smoothly this ti...]
The show picked up right where it left off the previous night.
Jiang Qin was a little worried because she had heard from Long Yue that Julie had been constantly campaigning for votes during the downti.
Soon, the voting began on the large screen.
The two progress bars were neck and neck, both soaring upward.
When the countdown ended, in the instant the votes were locked in, Xiong Yuanyuan’s count inched up a tiny bit, and the result was final.
"Congratulations to contestant Xiong Yuanyuan for locking in a spot in the top five! Contestant Julie will unfortunately be moving to the waiting area."
The smiles on Julie and Su San’s faces beca strained.
They hadn’t expected that after so much preparation, they would still fall short on votes.
However, no matter how sour their expressions were, the show would go on.
"Next, let’s welco contestant Sun Dongling to give us a wonderful performance."
Sun Dongling ca on stage in a black tallic Combat Suit and perford an energetic song and dance number.
Unfortunately, with the brilliant performances of Julie and Xiong Yuanyuan setting such a high bar, the audience’s reaction wasn’t overly excited, though quite a few people still enjoyed it.
Next on stage was Qi Huaixuan.
He was also dressed in a cool, trendy boy-style outfit, with a shiny chanical watch on his wrist.
"Be a hero for one minute
Yo Yo, Verse 1
Who snatched my microphone?
It’s okay, I still have my throat, Yeah Yeah..."
[It’s a rap, wow~ I love it!]
[Whoa, I didn’t expect Jiang Qin to write this kind of song~]
[So cool! Our Xuan Bao is so handso!!]
[Jiang Qin’s rap lyrics are more refined. They’re not like those other ssy raps that are mostly just weird rants.]
[It sounds a bit generic, but it’s really catchy.]
[It is catchy! ’Who snatched my microphone’ is stuck in my head!!]
[Ahhh, finally a song I can sing after just one listen!!]
...
During the voting, Qi Huaixuan’s vote count kept soaring.
Although Sun Dongling’s vote count wasn’t low, it was a bit low compared to the other contestants.
The final result was Qi Huaixuan advancing.
Having ntally prepared herself ever since she got the song, Sun Dongling didn’t feel too disappointed.
She understood that while the song she sang was suitable for a competition, it wasn’t suitable for her.
Of course, the song itself was also a bit mainstream.
For this type of lody, you could pull up any chart on a music platform and basically find sothing similar.
So the audience didn’t find it particularly amazing.
In comparison, it wasn’t as novel as the song Qi Huaixuan sang, and he was a great match for his song.
Sotis, the stage presence can also be a bonus for a song.
Qi Huaixuan’s stage presence was excellent, with a group of young boys performing a visually pleasing dance filled with all sorts of difficult moves.
Paired with the rap song, it was indeed insanely cool.
「 ... 」
Next up was the showdown in the waiting area.
The contestants who entered the waiting area would all have to perform another song, after which the audience and judges would vote.
The two people with the highest vote counts, ranked first and second, would enter the top five.
Originally, only one person was supposed to be chosen, but Tang Wanqing’s group had ended in a tie, so only three contestants had locked in spots in the top five so far.
Naturally, that ant they could only choose the top two from the waiting area.
The performance order was, once again, randomly selected by a machine.
1. Sun Dongling, 2. Tang Wanqing, 3. Julie, 4. Tai Xingwen, 5. Heimu Ying.
...
Sun Dongling, who had just stepped off stage, felt helpless. She was really unlucky.
The second song she had prepared wasn’t that great to begin with, and now she had to perform first, right after leaving the stage.
Even her ntor, Josh, was beginning to suspect that there was sothing fishy about the show’s random order.
’Why does it feel like they’re targeting my group?’
However, even with her suspicions, she wasn’t going to stick her neck out for a student from a low-level star.
After all, this show would probably run for many more seasons, and she wouldn’t be short on students.
’In any case, the three contestants from this season are all useless!’
