Yan Shuangwen nodded: "Yes, but is there a guzheng on this cruise ship?"
Actually, Mr. Li wasn't entirely sure either, but since Shanmu could help, he figured he might as well ask; maybe he could.
After the message was sent, Shanmu quickly replied. Sure enough... there was no guzheng. However, Shanmu sent a picture of a music room with quite a few instruments, such as cellos, violins, pianos, and saxophones. Most of them were Western instruments, with only a few being from the South.
Li Sheng showed the picture to Yan Shuangwen: "Take a look and see if there's anything you know in there."
Yan Shuangwen quickly identified his target: "Erhu, Yangqin, or recorder are all fine. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Li Sheng finalized the erhu: "How about a horse race? Or something more exciting?"
Yan Shuangwen replied, "Yes, but what are you planning to perform?"
Li Sheng said, "I will perform Southern martial arts, which are very famous internationally."
Yan Shuangwen smiled slightly in agreement; this was her sister's forte, and it wouldn't be too far-fetched.
"There are still three days left, so you two should discuss it carefully. I'm going to get the things from Shanmu."
However, Li Sheng had no intention of arranging anything; he felt that his usual sparring with Yan Shuangwu was quite exciting.
He said to Yan Shuangwu, "Take a good rest. When the time comes, just like a normal sparring match. We'll stop when the music stops. It's best if it's a draw, but it has to be exciting."
Yan Shuangwen is good at this: "Don't worry, this is a piece of cake."
The day arrived quickly. The entire team wore matching custom-made uniforms. Yan Shuangwen and Yan Shuangwu wore tight-fitting long-sleeved black shirts and tight shorts, showcasing their enviable figures with prominent curves. Underneath the tight-fitting clothes, one could vaguely see the lines of their muscles.
Their figures were impeccable, yet they failed to arouse desire, because every movement they made was full of wildness. With their magnetic fields fully activated, Li Sheng felt a slight pressure standing in front of them.
Li Sheng wore the same shorts, but his shorts were looser, otherwise it might be a little awkward. The same went for Nai Tuan.
Before coming, Li Sheng cut Naituan's hair short again, with a straight cut that reached her ears, giving her cute face a sharper look, like a fledgling eagle with full wings.
She wasn't participating in the stage performance, so she stayed in the dressing room. However, in the end, all the members of each team had to come out and walk across the stage and stand on their respective round platforms.
It's about to begin. They're in their preparation room now, with a large curtain that's synchronized with the stage.
The host was a mixed-race beauty with a stunningly beautiful face and bright red lips. She blew kisses to the audience as soon as she appeared on stage, and she was definitely a great beauty.
The audience was far larger than he had imagined; almost every seat was filled, with seven or eight hundred people, and judging by their attire, they were all extremely wealthy.
More than 80 percent of them were wearing watches, and he estimated that none of these watches were worth less than a million.
This completely confirmed his conjecture: they were simply tricked into being used as entertainment for these rich people.
Soon, the charming host announced the list of all the teams. There were ten teams in total, each from one of the ten countries, and all the teams were named after their respective countries.
They are: the United States, the South, the Cherry Blossom Country, the Kimchi Country, the Ula La Country, the Romantic Country, the Kangaroo Country, the Pakistan Country, the Kidney Country, and the East Country.
Their order of appearance was determined by drawing lots, but it wasn't Li Sheng and his group who drew the lots; instead, it was Shanmu's leader, who was the representative of their side in this match.
A giant roller appeared on the screen, and as the roller ended, the order of appearance quickly became clear.
A cross appeared on the screen in the preparation room. They were lucky to be last in line, so they could observe the teams at the front first.
The first to appear was from the Romantic Kingdom. Their clothes were the same style and cut as the others, only the colors were different, and the back of their clothes was sprayed with a "1" in special paint.
The man walked forward with refined manners, first bowing very politely, and then began to play the violin. The melody was melodious and moving, as if one were in an auditorium.
Each person has a special mobile phone that can be used to communicate with each other and place bets on the cruise ship.
Li Sheng saw Shan Mu on the field, but his boss was not by his side.
It seems the real giants are probably hiding in the shadows.
Although the man played the violin very well, not many people placed bets, and the atmosphere was not very lively.
After all, this isn't some kind of flirting talent show; people care more about whether they have enough skill to achieve outstanding results in the survival game.
The second performer was from the United States. The four men who came on stage were very strong, like four fierce wild beasts. Even before they started performing, many people cheered and shouted.
The people selected from the United States are already powerful, and they look strong. After performing a set of punches, they captured the passion of the entire audience.
Countless flowers and cigars were thrown up.
The third to appear is the Kingdom of Wulala. The people of Wulala are known for their fierceness; even a large brown bear has to obediently call them "Mom and Dad."
Bears are extremely dangerous in the wild, so being able to deal with a brown bear shows that you have a strong ability to cope with wild animals.
All four members of the group came out—three men and one woman—and danced a very passionate and ethnically distinctive dance together.
This dance requires extremely strong overall qualities.
The fourth group to appear was from the Sakura Country, consisting of two men and two women. They weren't very tall or particularly strong, but the two women were very cute.
...
No one knew there would be a stage performance at the last minute, and there was simply no time to prepare, so the performance was far from satisfactory.
However, the performance is probably just a pretext. The main purpose is to let all the teams come out and demonstrate their overall capabilities through the performance.
Finally, it was Li Sheng and his group's turn to appear, and the three of them were not nervous at all.
Li Sheng felt that since everyone was a gambler, they must all be looking forward to his performance.
The three people appeared in a triangle, with Li Sheng and Yan Shuangwu standing on either side of the center line of the stage, looking at each other.
Yan Shuangwen stood slightly behind the center line, holding an erhu in his hand, sitting on the ground, adjusting to a comfortable posture.
The three of them stood there motionless, and the entire scene was completely silent. It was unclear what they were trying to do, but seeing that the woman in the middle was holding a musical instrument, it was guessed that they were a group of musicians and dancers.
These are all boring and I'm tired of looking at them. Although these few southerners are quite strong, they're nothing compared to the United States.
