Chapter 237 Out of the Circle, Second Stop: Tyrande

"How many?"

Xie Qingyu and the members sat in a row on the sofa in the hotel, staring at the director standing behind the camera.

To be precise, she was staring at the envelope in his hand.

The success of today’s performance and the funding for the next stop all depend on this.

He was so slow to announce the result that everyone, including Xie Qingyu, could hardly hold back their smiles.

Just looking at the thickness of the envelope, it was quite impressive. Coupled with the director's unhappy expression, the answer was obvious.

However, they still held back and decided to wait until they actually got the money before celebrating.

"The total cost of this Coria Station..."

Everyone held their breath, not blinking.

Uh-huh-huh, hurry up and tell me!

Let everyone know how happy they will be at their next stop!

Just when the director finally read out the specific amount, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but stand up and hugged the members.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

The director stood aside with his arms folded, looking at the group of teenagers who were as happy as if they had won the jackpot.

Although he didn't show it on his face, he couldn't help but feel happy for them in his heart. This process of working together to complete the survival mission was the best way to cultivate team spirit.

Of course, the necessary rules must still be established.

The director cleared his throat and began to announce the new rules for the second stop. These guys were really good at taking advantage of loopholes, especially the seemingly honest Xie Qingyu, who was the most cunning.

The first stop was a blunder on their part, and the rules had to be more "perfect" this time, with a series of penalties for violations.

Although it may not be completely eliminated, it can at least be curbed.

Otherwise, when they return to Yun City at their last stop, these guys will probably have to use the remaining funds to buy a house!

After the new rules were announced, the director picked up the envelope and shook it deliberately: "Are you not coming to claim it yet? Don't you want it?"

It was obvious that he was teasing them. When the rules were announced just now, although Xie Qingyu and the others nodded mechanically, their eyes were always glued to the envelope.

Upon hearing that she could receive funding, Xie Qingyu pursed her lips, revealing her usually subtle dimples.

Under the encouraging gazes of the members, Xie, the team's financial manager, stepped forward solemnly.

In order to show his respect for the hard-earned funds, he bent down from a distance and stretched out his hands respectfully, as if he was performing some solemn investiture ceremony.

The director twitched his lips unhappily, and with a forced smile, he gently placed the envelope in Xie Qingyu's palm and uttered a dark curse.

"Hold it tight, if you lose it, no refund or replacement!"

Xie Qingyu weighed the heavy envelope in his hand, and the corners of his eyes curved into two crescents.

With a flick of his fingertips, the envelope slid deftly into his pocket, and he patted it solemnly: "Don't worry, it won't be lost even if I lose it!"

Director: “…That’s not necessary!”

With the funds distributed, it is finally time to announce the second stop.

He deliberately cleared his throat three times, whetting everyone's appetite before announcing, "The destination of the second leg of 'Break! Now' is—" The ending tone suddenly rose, drawing an arc in the air, "Tyrande!"

"Wuhu~"

Xie Qingyu and his teammates smiled at each other and celebrated with a high five.

This country with friendly price levels, coupled with the large amount of funding they have just received, is simply perfect!

This is what a serious travel program should look like!

Several people immediately gathered together and started planning with their heads close together.

The light from the mobile phone screens illuminated many excited faces. Some were booking flights, some were comparing hotels, and from time to time, suppressed laughter broke out.

What they didn't know was that at that moment, Corea's network was being turned upside down by videos of their street performances shot from all angles.

The entry #种花神颜暴击# shot to the top of the local trend list like a rocket, and also climbed up the world trend list like an elevator.

Although there are some sour and critical remarks here and there, they cannot even make a splash amid the overwhelming flattery.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this group of teenagers has no plans to enter the overseas market for the time being.

Otherwise, what would greet them now would be a joint release of negative news from the major entertainment giants that monopolize resources.

[She's definitely a genius with her face, as expected of a country that produces so many beauties.]

When will Congress pass legislation to ban ugly men from debuting? The quality control of idols is practically nonexistent.

[Do we have to wait for the beauties from the Flower Country to invade en masse before we realize the seriousness of the problem?]

[Please leave the Republic of China! Please, please, please, voluntarily withdraw from the entertainment industry if you have bumpy faces.]

[Remember! Forcing people to admit that an ugly man is handsome is mental violence!]

I actually saw the beauty of a great newcomer in the Flower Planting Boys group. It’s crazy.

[I repeat, please don't embarrass the entire country and stop going crazy and scaring people. Some of these ugly men in service should go lie on the operating table first to demonstrate their resolve!]

My impression of flower-growing idols is still stuck in the green card era 20 years ago. How is it now? Are the fans there eating so well?

[I have to say it again! Being ugly and tall only magnifies flaws, but these guys are walking posters.]

[It turns out it's not that I have a picky aesthetic. Yu Oppa is exactly what I'm attracted to, and his professional abilities are also excellent. Damn, can such a perfect person really exist in this world?]

I can’t imagine how much the national happiness index would be boosted if such beauty and talent were to enter the K-pop world.

[Anyone joining the petition? These oppas should be granted permanent residency in K-pop. xxx, xxx, xxx...please get out and bring these guys back, okay?]

[Everyone must not give in! Some Western bastards are plotting to reshape our aesthetic sense. This is naked aesthetic bullying!]

[Beware of aesthetic hegemony! A joint petition has been drafted, please join the petition team now!]

Overnight, the petition to apply for permanent residency for Xie Qingyu and seven others had accumulated more than 100,000 electronic signatures.

Behind this absurd petition campaign lies the long-accumulated resentment of the people of Correa against the "aesthetic bullying" in the local entertainment industry.

In fact, everyone knows that this will not succeed. Rather than being a sincere advocate for these foreign artists, it is more like taking advantage of the issue.

After all, the appearance of local boy groups has plummeted in recent years. After those veteran handsome guys retire, do we really have to face those ugly guys on the screen every day?

You can give up your face, but you have to protect your eyes, right?

What’s even more infuriating is that overseas netizens don’t have to be bombarded with these ugly men every day, only they have to suffer from visual pollution!

This petition is essentially a performance art: we would rather everyone eat coarse food together than allow the neighbors to have delicious food while we have only slop in our bowl!

Such ridiculous news naturally attracted countless ridicules when it was reported back to the country.

Xie Qingyu's team, who were at the center of the public opinion storm, were now appearing at Seoul International Airport, dragging their suitcases.

Although the itinerary has not been announced, fans always have the ability to know everything, and a lot of people have already gathered in the waiting hall to see them off.

There were street fans who came here from China for tourism, as well as many local fans from Coria, all of whom were attracted by their street performance that went viral yesterday.

They arrived here on time and were almost ready to board the plane after checking in.

But I didn't expect that when I walked to the boarding gate, I heard a heartbreaking cry from behind me. There was a girl wearing a fisherman's hat.

I asked loudly, "When will the Jade Oppas come again? Will they hold a concert?"

Passersby kept looking over here, and those who didn't know thought they were acting in some idol drama~

To be honest, in the short term, no one, including Xie Qingyu, wants to come back to this place that hurt their stomachs. It's really like eating kimchi and getting hurt!

But facing the tearful fans who had come all the way to see them off, Xie Qingyu could only put on a businesslike smile and said, "I'll definitely come if I have the chance."

Seeing his teammates tacitly step back and leave this annoying question to him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Next time! Next time for sure!

The domestic fans nearby turned around and rolled their eyes when they saw this. What a good actress! Her crying scene was even more exaggerated than that of the heroine in idol dramas!

The leading girl suddenly raised her arms and shouted, "Xie Qingyu, Gu Yan, Bai Yan, Wei Liangchen, Leo, You Jinzhao, Ding Zai! Stand up, stand up, stand up!!!"

They are also proud of their idols’ success, but they can’t learn Xiaoyi’s gentleness, so they have to show the aura of a big woman!

The cheers, which had a hot pot flavor, resounded throughout the terminal, startling the ground staff and making them look up.

Ahem… that local accent is deafening, and that shout is so righteous!

Xie Qingyu and his teammates left quickly with tense expressions, and only after turning around the corridor bridge did they reveal smiles that could not be concealed at the corners of their mouths.

I have to admit that their fans are still too advanced and too creative!
