Chapter 64 Opening

Faced with the synchronized cheering dance, Li Jinzhao was not afraid at all, and performed with the momentum of a thousand troops all by himself.

He grabbed a cheering stick and immediately started a self-created dance, completely unstructured yet full of violent energy, wildly dancing while shouting slogans at the top of his lung capacity.

Another girl jogged up to Li Jinyue and asked in a low voice, "President, should we join that side?"

She hesitated for a moment, "Although that dance was a bit embarrassing, we really can't lose in terms of momentum."

Li Jinyue sighed and said, "Whatever, just don't use any vulgar words or actions to provoke other groups. Be mindful of your limits."

"Alright." The girl turned and left, calling to the others to encourage the person who was still dancing wildly.

Li Jinyue glanced at the time: "Anyway, it's the finals, so it's good to generate some buzz before the match."

She shook her head and continued what she was doing. Just then, a tall, slender figure silently stopped in front of her.

Li Jinyue looked up and saw a man wearing a simple dark coat. He was tall and straight, with striking but aloof features beneath his tousled hair. His skin appeared somewhat pale under the lights outside the venue. His overall demeanor was a blend of youthful coolness and composure, making him stand out from the noisy surroundings.

Li Jinyue felt the man looked familiar, and after a second of hesitation, she realized, "Eh? You are... Qu Chen from last time?"

Qu Chen nodded, his tone flat: "You said you had something to ask of me."

Li Jinyue was even more surprised: "Huh? Really?"

How come she has absolutely no recollection of having made such an agreement with this Buddha statue?

"I am M."

!!

Li Jinyue's eyes widened. "Holy crap!"

The mysterious and unassuming big shot M is actually this person?!

She had previously sent him the QR code for the core area e-ticket that she had specially reserved online. The system showed that the ticket had been claimed, but she had not received any contact from him and was still wondering whether this tech genius would actually show up.

Unexpectedly, the true Buddha not only came, but also stood silently in front of her.

"Hello, sir!" Li Jinyue's tone instantly became extremely respectful.

She seized the opportunity and made a suggestion she had been thinking about for a long time: "If you have time, I would like to ask you to be the vice president of our fan club!"

She was actually quite nervous. Her brother, Li Jinzhao, had been volunteering, but he could only play the role of creating atmosphere.

If M could be in charge, the efficiency of data analysis, public opinion monitoring, and anti-blacklisting would definitely skyrocket.

But most tech geeks aren't very sociable. Her original plan was to wait for M to appear and then try to lure him with benefits, but it's clear that she can't be lured by benefits...

Just as she was feeling incredibly anxious, she heard the other person say a single, crisp word:

"good."

Li Jinyue's eyes lit up instantly. Wow! A divine intervention!

As night deepened, the lights of the Olympic Sports Center shone even brighter.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived and everything was arranged, Li Jinyue took a deep breath and waved vigorously to the gathered core fans:

"Everyone's here, let's go!"

Night fell completely over the city, and warm lights shone from the windows of countless homes.

After dinner, whether by choice or by chance, many families tuned in to Qinghe TV.

On the screen, the TV station's pre-event live broadcast had already begun, with the host introducing this highly anticipated event in an exciting tone.

When the television screen switched to aerial footage of the area outside the Provincial Olympic Sports Center, many people who had initially just been watching the television as background noise couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow! So many people!"

From the drone's perspective, the Olympic Sports Center's massive shell-shaped dome gleamed in the night, with countless streams of light converging from all directions.

Tens of thousands of spectators, holding glow sticks and light boards of various colors, poured into the various entrances of the venue along the square and passageways that were illuminated as if it were daytime.

These streams of light intertwined and swirled, eventually converging into a boiling sea of ​​stars surrounding the central stage, creating a breathtakingly magnificent spectacle.

"Dear viewers at home, the grand finale of the 'Dream of Qinghe Idol Open Competition' is about to begin! Please count down with me—"

The host's voice traveled through the television speakers to every household:

"ten!"

Inside and outside the Olympic Sports Center, a deafening roar of cheers erupted simultaneously.

"Nine!"

The camera panned across the venue, where countless expectant faces flickered in the darkness.

"Eight...seven...six..."

The countdown sounded like a resounding war drum, striking the heart of everyone.

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!"

As the last number was counted, all the lights focused on the main stage in an instant, and magnificent music burst forth, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

"Welcome to the finals of the Dream Resounds in Qinghe: Idol Open Competition, to all you dreamers who hold the power of choice!"

The host, Jiang Yue, made a dashing appearance amidst the thin mist created by dry ice, her sharp-tailored casual suit highlighting her striking and heroic aura.

Holding the microphone, her voice instantly drowned out the noise of the entire venue:

Tonight, the stars shine for us! Tonight, the stage ignites because of our dreams!

The idols nurtured by our Qinghe Province will be personally delivered to their peak by you, every dreamer in front of the screen and in the venue.

This is their battlefield, but it's also your stage! Tell me, are you ready?

Her response was a frenzied scream that nearly lifted the dome, a sound so powerful that even when broadcast on television, it was enough for viewers to feel the burning passion.

Jiang Yue smiled with satisfaction, "Now, please welcome the first group—"

This idol performance finale pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

Since only ten teams will ultimately remain on stage, the competition schedule is no longer as tight as it was in the early stages. Instead, it is carefully designed to provide each team with plenty of highlight moments.

Before each group's official performance, the giant circular screen switches to member introduction mode.

The team name exploded in the center of the screen, and the powerful rhythm instantly took over the entire venue. The members' names and photos were enlarged one by one, accompanied by a fast-paced display of highlights from their first stage performance to the present, each frame a mark of their growth.

Whenever a popular member's figure flashed by, the corresponding support color in the audience would erupt in layers of loud cheers.

Below the stage, Li Jinzhao looked at Qu Chen incredulously, "Dude, are you a masochist?"

Holy crap! This guy was hiding his true abilities! A master was right next to me!

As if he had just realized something, he leaned close to Qu Chen's ear mischievously and said, "Tell me the truth, didn't you... actually hire a computer genius to ghostwrite for you?"

Before he could finish speaking, a precise elbow strike landed on his stomach.

Li Jinzhao grinned.

Li Jinyue, who had just made the move, glared at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Don't drive away the deputy commander she finally managed to invite.

Li Jinzhao rubbed his stomach, feeling extremely aggrieved: "I admit that M made a great contribution, but does that mean my contribution was small? Why is he the deputy commander and I'm not?"

Does this also imply that relatives should avoid suspicion of each other?
