Chapter 97 Part 2: The Second Episode, the Self-Destructive Calamity Seed (2)

Not long after this dispute, clapping interrupted the conversation.

Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled, his crimson eyes overlooking the magical prison, and spoke to the projections:

"You don’t need to worry. As the head mentor and leader of the Dazzling Stage, I have a duty to ensure the safety of all participants."

After speaking, it gave a meaningful smile and continued:

"Next, let’s look forward to how many contestants from each region can advance from the ‘Fuel’ stage to become polished Gemstones in the next round."

…

…

It was half past eight in the morning.

Before the second episode of "Dazzling Stage" in Sea City aired, it already became a hot topic of the day.

# Sea City’s "Dazzling Stage" is tangled in a love triangle! #

# Chu Yuanqing shows off an amazing look. #

# CP fans are ecstatic, is it really happening? #

#Princess Chen CP – Book of Day and Night – Departing soon? #

#The second season is about to go live, guess who will be the ultimate winner? #

#Officially leading the dance, Sea City’s "Dazzling Stage" may be renamed "Godly Qing’s Garden". #

#Chu Yuanqing hasn’t posted on Weibo yet. #

At the same time,

Xu Ling, with sleepy eyes, opened her eyes and looked drowsily at the video on the computer screen that was only half edited. She got up, yawned, tossed her dino pillow covered in drool into the washing machine, made herself a glass of iced coffee, and then eagerly sat back in her chair.

"Honey Qing’s video editing is done, it will be uploaded soon."

"Miyuki’s video editing materials are all set, background music also chosen, just a few more hours of hard work and it’ll be ready!"

"Haha, I knew my editing skills were unbeatable!"

"Xu Ling believes in yourself, you are the best single pusher!"

At the same time, various liver kings in the fan support group were both proud and weak in their battle reports.

In the atmosphere of near-sudden death, everyone’s faces were filled with happiness and burning smiles, looking forward together to the second episode half an hour later injecting new life into their bodies!

Xu Ling devoutly typed a song of praise:

The lady who produces grain made unstable remarks:

Immediately, it sparked a chaotic battle of attack and defense:

Amidst the endless political infighting, the attacking side finally achieved a overwhelming victory, everyone agreed that the fierce Little Sakura who liked to wear nail polish was just a strong recipient, lacking the courage to turn the tables and ruthlessly dominate others.

This undeniable fact, following the defeat of the defensive side, became the only truth in the "Meet You in the Mist" fan support group!

At the same time, as scheduled at nine o’clock, the second episode aired on major video websites.

Xu Ling, a old lady who was defeated by the party, forgot about the sadness of the party struggle and happily watched the second episode.

Unlike before, this episode lasted a long 90 minutes, 10 minutes longer than the previous one.

On the flip side, the 57 contestants who were deprived of exposure in the first episode were able to return to the show.

In other words, the 90 minutes will be divided among a total of 168 contestants, averaging only 32 seconds each, which is more terrifyingly exaggerated than the previous average of 45 seconds, making it quite competitive and intense.

It can only be said that how much screen time each contestant gets depends on their overall level. If they cannot stand out in this episode, their screen time in the future will only be further reduced, making it harder for them to rise and make a comeback.

Unfortunately, judging from the popularity of the first episode and the previous live broadcast effects, the editing focus may be biased towards the six Grade A contestants.

On screen, Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled and bowed, signaling the official start of the show.

The stage for the secondary ratings appeared in view, with a roaming overhead perspective that couldn’t be seen during the live broadcast.

Xu Ling skipped the usual boring part with Tutor Group and began to enjoy the contestants’ performances.

This is where fate changes.

A performance needs at least three minutes, and it’s impossible to show the stage of all 168 contestants. Most contestants only appear in a single frame, while only those with explosive performances get a few more seconds on stage.

With the current popularity of "Dazzling Stage," those extra seconds are enough to attract attention and increase the chances of not being eliminated in the next round.

Unfortunately, lucky ones are rare.

The stages shown include Grade A performances like Xie Qingxuan, Chen Yining, and Ji Shuzhu, or those with a comeback script, or being challenged by one, creating a huge contrast, dramatic effect, and anticipation.

Liang Xiaoxiao’s determination to finish the dance after falling down was truly inspirational. Even though the final result was disappointing, it made for a dramatic and memorable moment on stage, turning a misfortune into a blessing.

Chu Yuanqing’s stage was so explosive that she was placed after Little Sakura, only making her appearance towards the end of the secondary ratings, which surprised the audience and heightened their anticipation.

It can be said that the program group knows how to build and release tension to engage the audience.

Even after watching the live broadcast and rewatching it multiple times, Xu Ling was still impressed and amazed when the program group revealed a different camera version of the Godly Qing stage.

The bullet comments on the show started getting crazy.

Xu Ling switched to her original personality, then after going crazy, she sacredly separated from her original personality and started fast forward.

Since many places were already shown in the live broadcast, the focus was on whether their favorite contestant got enough screen time, no need to cover everything.

The following story involves the contestants’ reactions to their rankings the next day, voting for the Carry Center in their hearts, filming short dance videos, announcing the final results of the Carry Center the next day, and finally rehearsing for the performance before going on stage.

The bullet comments were filled with fans who typed really fast, faster than ordinary people could match.

"Hehehe, the King of Crimson is here! Let’s see who has caught Honey Qing’s attention!"

"You know, it actually makes sense. Turning to Honey Qing at this time is totally a strategic move by Kirimi Miyuki, right? I bet the CP fans are going crazy over this."

"Um, as a CP fan, Honey Qing’s true fans think it’s quite enough, just be a little careful in front of the camera, who wouldn’t retreat when a fight is coming? Really, stay out of it, okay?"

And before this epic battle tore the world apart,

Chu Yuanqing said goodbye to the two little ones and patted the golden retriever’s head before catching up with Little Sakura. They interrupted the fan war between the Bullet Comment CP fans and Chu Yuanqing’s loyal fans.

The atmosphere in Bullet Comment suddenly became tense.

Little Yuanxiao, who was defending Chu Yuanqing and suspicious of Little Sakura, felt a cold wind blowing and snowflakes falling. They left the scene feeling disheartened.

The scene cut to Chu Yuanqing and Kirimi Miyuki in the same practice room, where Chu Yuanqing started learning the dance for "Little Deer’s Antics."

While practicing, Chu Yuanqing disdainfully watched a video of themselves dancing heart fingers in front of the camera. The video was exposed by the program group, delighting some unique fans and attracting admiration and praise.

"Haha, the forcibly ripened fruit tastes so sweet!"

The show continued, showing interactions among the trainees and various dormitory incidents.

One funny incident was in a dorm room in building F, where Great Devil, green-eyed cat, and Liang Xiaoxiao had a serious rock-paper-scissors battle to decide who would tell Chu Yuanqing their bedtime story.

This incident was quickly overshadowed by a chaotic Bullet Comment thread demanding to hear bedtime stories from Honey Qing, causing many fans to miss out on the precious audio of Honey Qing telling soothing bedtime stories.

In the end, skipping some daily life and rehearsal details, the biggest climax of the second episode burst out completely on the bus.

– "Chu Yuanqing, don’t you feel ashamed?"

This question directly puzzled a large number of viewers, and soon countless bullet comments burst out.
