Chapter 19

After three days of intensive learning of the theme song singing and dancing, plus Wei Shao's mandatory tutoring, Chu Yu learned the entire song from beginning to end, which took an afternoon; the entire dance was learned poorly, which took two and a half days, but it still made the system burst into tears: at least he learned something that people could evaluate!

During the three days, most of the students' daily routines were completely disrupted. Many people stayed up all night to train in the classroom. Every time Chu Yu was forced by Wei Shao to copy his old lady's dance moves over and over again, there would always be students from Class A or Class B who came to ask for advice or to sit in. After asking for advice, they would gather together and smile happily at Chu Yu, who was struggling to wave his limbs while Ku Ku spouting crazy literature, and all the fatigue of the day was driven away. In this ecological chain, no one was hurt except Chu Yu who would lose face.

At 2:30 in the morning one day, Chu Yu walked out of the hall slowly with lead-filled steps. His whole body was wet with sweat after high-intensity dance practice, and his clothes were sticking to his skin. He looked at the boundless night outside the door and the silent tree-lined avenue except for the sound of trees, and was filled with emotion.

Damn, I can't even go one day in this crappy class.

It's okay, it's okay. He consoled himself optimistically, thinking that if things really didn't work out, he could still die. If he couldn't die, there would be a way to live, and if there was a way, he could walk on it. All roads lead to the grave.

Damn it. He put on a face like a cat. He wanted to go back and use Wei Shao's favorability points to buy revenge in the system mall. Why couldn't he deduct favorability points from other NPC characters? It was so unfair.

The system actually felt a little sorry for him - although he had practiced so hard for so long, with Chu Yu's rare dancing talent, the results he achieved were only at the level of an F class. His efforts didn't get him many shots, and his efforts were useless. However, in this place where fierce competition was everywhere and suffering was the habitual stepping stone to fame, hard work was the most common and normal thing.

It cautiously asked Chu Yu, "Host, if our rating results remain unchanged by then, will you find it hard to accept?"

hold head high?

No. Chu Yu answered calmly, so calm that he stopped going crazy for a while.

I have a measure of my own strength.

"Look at how hard we've practiced for so long, and yet this is all we've gotten so far... I'm worried you'll feel disappointed."

No, there would be no disappointment without expectations.

He is the type who would not move if he could, but he would not refuse if others kindly dragged him along.

No matter how you live, it is a way of life. Others are trying so hard to drag you along, and it takes energy to resist. Just go with the flow.

Although I am trying hard physically, my mentality is: as long as any difficulty can defeat me, then no difficulty can defeat me!

The first theorem of Chuyu has been achieved!

He even tried to comfort the system in return, but it still couldn't produce any ivory.

It’s okay. Being a trainee is already against the will of heaven, so dying on the road is normal.

"..." The system closed its eyes, "You might as well not speak."

After falling asleep and waking up tonight, it will be time for the official assessment of the theme song.

Although the program team has no requirements for the students' appearance during the assessment, many trainees still got up early and gathered in front of the bathroom mirror to carefully put on makeup and do their hair, preparing to present their best state in front of the camera later.

There were less than three hours left before the exam, and the entire dormitory 602 was bustling with activity. Jing Yan frantically searched for the lyrics sheet, trying to review the singing method. Xie Man was so nervous that he guzzled water.

The only person who was living a peaceful life was probably Chu Yu, who was sleeping unconscious on the lower bunk near the door.

"Host, wake up, get up!" The system started its most urgent service today with a heartbreaking roar.

When Chu Yu fell asleep, he looked as peaceful as if he were dead.

“Wake up!!”

The system was so angry that it took out the audio file that Chu Yu had secretly recorded of the crazy things going on in her head while she was practicing dance two days ago, and suddenly pressed the play button.

A familiar and exciting sharp explosion instantly exploded beside the eardrums of each person and system:

The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with 6! The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with 6! The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with 6! The world kisses me with pain, and I return it with 6!

“…”

Chu Yu opened his eyes and took a breath.

"You're awake." The system was typing code to repair the punctured electronic eardrum. After seeing the host's actions, it greeted him kindly.

“…”

To injure the enemy by 800 and yourself by 1,000 is a bad civilization.

The silent Chu Yu silently got up from the bed, went to wash and change his clothes obediently, and after cleaning himself up, he looked down at the watch and saw that there were still two hours and forty-five minutes before the test. His first reaction was that he could still take a nap for a while.

The system shyly said, "Look, they're all putting on nice makeup and wearing beautiful clothes. Does that mean we should also make some changes?"

Beware of the involution trap and avoid unnecessary extraneous tasks. Chu Yu righteously rejected its proposal.

And with our level, it would just be cabbage even if we rolled it up.

"This is different from dancing! We lost at the starting line in dancing, and there's no way back!" the system was excited. "But image management is different! In terms of appearance, you won at the starting line!"

The level I'm talking about isn't referring to appearance. Chu Yu's lips curled into an indescribable arc. After thinking it over, he decided to open the suitcase. He fumbled around and picked out the cosmetics set that the original owner had left inside. He took it out and walked to the empty washbasin with a serious look on his face.

Never mind, I'll let you see it with your own eyes.

Every time he uses this tone, something bad is bound to happen. System alert.

Chu Yu scanned the cosmetics with an academic gaze, and then accurately picked out primer, liquid foundation and beauty sponge.

Then, under the nervous observation of the system, I successfully replenished my water and applied primer.

The system was about to praise him: "Yes, that's it..."

Then I saw Chu Yu directly unscrew the bottle of foundation and apply it on her cheeks.

"No, no, stop, stop, stop it!"

Chu Yu obediently stopped, but looked confused: Isn’t this the step? I remember Luo Jiayu did it this way when he did my makeup.

"Have you never watched a makeup tutorial?"

No.

All his memories of makeup came from the few times Luo Jiayu did it for him.

"What were you doing while he was putting on your makeup?"

Looking down at the phone.

“…” No wonder he couldn’t remember the correct steps.

The system dug up an old but detailed tutorial on foundation makeup for beginners from its database and played it in Chu Yu's mind. Although Chu Yu diligently followed the instructions in the video, the final result was, for some reason, quite indescribable.

The reason was probably that the original owner's foundation color did not match Chu Yu's fair skin tone at all. After applying it, it even looked yellower than before. Chu Yu also took a tube of lip mud and smeared it on his mouth. The reddish color and uneven application made him look like he had just eaten a child.

"Let's just wash it." The system felt hopeless.

Chu Yu took out the bottle of all-purpose skin care and makeup remover that she had bought before, feeling relieved, as if she had been waiting for the system to say this.

After washing it clean and comparing myself in front of the mirror, I found that my bare face looked more resistant to damage.

"I was wrong. For you, the best thing is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances."

Chu Yu nodded in agreement.

After all this trouble, the time for the assessment was getting closer. Jing Yan had already started to call his roommates to gather in the hall. Chu Yu responded and habitually stayed by the door waiting for them to come out one by one, and then walked to the back to join them.

In the hall, all the students gathered together again and were evenly divided into 25 groups, with four people in each group taking the test at the same time. When it was Chu Yu's turn, he looked to the side and then met Lu Yiyang's eyes, who was waving at him with a smile on his face.

Alas! Cabbage meets the King of Curls!

Turning his head again, he met Jiang Chenglu's eyes again, who was smiling shyly and gently.

Alas! Cannon fodder A meets the protagonist!

The Chu Yu sandwiched in the middle was like lava cheese between two slices of bread. After a while, it melted and became completely invisible.

Before it was their turn to take the test, Lu Yiyang took the initiative to come over and high-five him: "May Lao Ganma bless us!"

Chu Yu blinked and imitated him by clapping his hands: "...May Lao Gan Ma bless us."

[Ding Dong, congratulations to host Chu Yu for gaining 5 points of favorability with character Lu Yiyang. The current total favorability of trainees is 35. You have been classified by Lu Yiyang as a "fellow disciple of the Lao Gan Ma sect." Your psychological defenses have dropped by 99%. After all, there are no bad people who love Lao Gan Ma~]

“…” He really loves that woman, I cried my heart out.

Jiang Chenglu also gave him a soft high five and said with a smile: "Come on."

When it came to the formal assessment, Chu Yu's performance was as stable as ever. At least he sang smoothly from beginning to end during the vocal test, and his dancing did not get worse than it had been. The overall performance was within his expectations, so he was well accepted. However, it was obvious that Wei Shao, who taught him dancing, was not like that.

[Did anyone hear the judges gasp?]

[Wei Shao lowered his head and frowned as he wrote the review, as if he was writing a diagnosis]

[His expression of doubting life is hilarious]

【Come on, baby Yu! If you try harder, mom will be able to tell what you are dancing to! 】

[Don't be so mean, the first part of the dance was pretty good, at least the beat was right]

[But the whole paragraph after that really fell apart, it was unbearable to watch]

It's okay, baby. It's impressive that you can dance for a full minute [clench your fist]

The results of the second rating were discussed and given by the judges and mentors on the spot. The results of a small number of trainees would be fine-tuned later, but Chu Yu knew that he was definitely not among them.

"You, you." When the song ended, Wei Shao pointed at him with an indescribable look on his face, wanting to say something but hesitant. Chu Yu was worried that he would choke on his own saliva when he saw him like that.

After pointing at him, Wei Shao pointed to the empty space in front of the background board with the words "Class F" printed on it. He waved his hand in annoyance and said, "Just stay there."

[Okay, sir!]

The crisp and inspiring broadcast sounded above the head of the young trainee in front of him, and coupled with the handsome face with half-closed eyes and a half-life appearance, but with a faint curve at the corners of the mouth, Wei Shao felt a little itchy for the first time.

But when I turned around, I saw several colleagues coughing with their heads down and covering their mouths.

Wei Shao was so angry that he laughed out loud, turning his smile into a dangerous fake one: "Wait."

The first metaphor is alert.

He had a premonition that the favorability of the person in front of him would soon become a non-renewable and unstable resource like the prince's, and he had to consume it all before it was deducted.

So during the second half of the entire assessment, he squatted in front of the large backdrop of Class F and thought carefully about what he should buy in the Cyber Mall that night.

Until the last group of trainees were notified to go for the assessment, he looked up slowly and found that there were only three people in this group. Until the assessment began, the position originally intended for the fourth person was empty.

There are a total of one hundred trainees, how come one is missing?
