Just after the first match, Lan Gaojie fainted in the backstage.

The staff hurriedly called the team doctor to come over, and after confirming that his vital signs were stable, he was sent to the hospital.

"Why did he suddenly faint? Nothing will happen to him."

"He is young, so it should be nothing. I guess he was too tired from training recently and was under a lot of pressure standing on the stage."

Seeing Lan Gaojie faint, both his teammates and other trainees were shocked.

Fortunately, the staff quickly came to comfort them, saying that there was nothing wrong with Lan Gaojie after the examination, and it was probably because he was too tired recently.

"Fortunately, nothing happened." After the performance, Xu Lele sat backstage with Lu Xu and several teammates to watch the performance, waiting for the final result of tonight's competition. "We already had Lai Chengshan before, if we add Lan Gaojie, can our program still be broadcast?"

Xu Lele stuck out his tongue after saying this, obviously just mentioned it afterwards, and didn't think anything would happen to Lan Gaojie.

Lu Xu smiled and just looked at the customer information on the homepage of his Death God app to calculate the time.

According to the death progress shown above, Lan Gaojie has a total of six hours.

After six hours, the lights will go out and he will become his new customer.

In fact, Lu Xu also wanted to stay with Lan Gaojie, but now the performance is still going on, so he can only wait with peace of mind.

Lan Gaojie fainted suddenly, catching everyone off guard.

Fortunately, after the initial panic, the program team quickly calmed down. There were thousands of spectators in the studio alone. In order to avoid causing greater chaos on the scene, Fan Zeng decided to continue recording according to the previous process.

Relying on the outstanding performance of the "Effort Squad", the Effort Group won the first game at the beginning.

As the class teachers of the ability group, Gu Wen'an and Qin Kewei were particularly cautious about the choice of the second group. The two discussed for a long time and finally made a decision: "The second performance team we are going to send out is the Knights."

"No way..." Xu Haoming was still happy for Lu Xu, but he didn't expect it to be his turn so soon. Gu didn't think too much about it, and he stood up and walked towards the road leading to the stage with his teammates.

Shen Chengyu glanced at the battle list and sent out the hardworking team led by Yao Yulong without a doubt.

"Hahaha, I really want to watch "Queen's High Heels". I wonder how they will present it." Xu Lele was obviously excited when she spoke, and it was obvious that she really wanted to see Xu Haoming and his team perform a girl group song.

Although they knew that the six boys could not be coquettish and charming on the stage in miniskirts and high heels, but what if?

Xu Lele thought so and couldn't help but poke Lu Xu: "Brother Xu, who do you think will win?"

At this moment, Lu Xu's mind was full of the list that was about to take effect. Hearing this, he just smiled perfunctorily: "It's impossible to make a conclusion now. We have to watch the performance first."

Xu Lele nodded: "You are right." Xu

Haoming, as the captain of the stage, has begun to introduce himself: "Hello everyone, we are the knight team from the ability group. The song we are going to perform is "Queen's High Heels"..."

After all, it is a boy group, Xu Haoming and his team naturally can't dress sexy like a girl group. In order to present the masculinity of the boy group, they deliberately chose knight clothes and changed the song to rock style. As soon as they opened their mouths, they were full of heavy metal elements.

The gorgeous stage lights and the heart-pounding music and drum beats stimulated the audience's eyesight and eardrums.

"Is this okay?"

"The Knights are so strong, and this new arrangement is great!"

"It feels like the ability group will win this time. How much psychological pressure will Yao Yulong and his team have to face such an opponent?"

...

The trainees sitting in the backstage watching the performance did not hesitate to praise and exchange their views with each other.

"Xu Haoming is really strong!" Xu Lele turned around, originally thinking of saying a few words to Lu Xu, only to find that Lu Xu was not in his position.

"Hey, where's Brother Xu?"

The other teammates' attention was basically focused on the game. It was only after hearing Xu Lele's question that they noticed that Lu Xu was missing: "I don't know, he was here just now."

"Maybe he went to the bathroom."

Seeing Yao Yulong's team walk onto the stage, everyone chatted for a few words and then went to watch the performance. They didn't take this matter to heart.

On the other side, Lu Xu went from the rest area to the corridor. While no one was paying attention, he took out his mobile phone to confirm his order information, and copied the order number and sent it to Xie An -

[SS-Lu Xu: Brother, this is the new order I told you about before. I'm in the competition, so you keep an eye on it for me. If I'm not free, I may need you to go there.]

Xie An on the other end quickly replied to the message, and used a bunch of emojis to flatter Lu Xu -

[SS-Xie An: You are worthy of being my brother Xu. You can collect orders while carrying out undercover missions! I'm telling you, I've also been busy recently, and sometimes I have more than ten orders a day. Including the stowaways over there, our department's performance will be the best in the group again this month! ]

[SS-Lu Xu: Awesome, brother! I will come back after I finish my mission and work with you to break the record for the mortality rate in our district by the end of the year. ]

[SS-Xie An: Yes, Brother Xu, I will wait for you to come back! I have two new orders later, Brother Xu, come back and chat, I will go to collect the orders first! ]

[SS-Lu Xu: Go ahead, go ahead, go! ]

I didn't expect that Xie An would be more successful during my absence. Lu Xu felt very relieved when thinking about this, and there was a smile on his lips. Looking at the time again,. It is less than six hours before Lan Gaojie ascends to heaven, it will be soon.

He was in a very good mood and was about to go back to continue watching the performance. Just as he walked to the door of the lounge, he heard the staff of the coordinating team talking to the director: "There was a call over there, saying that Lan Gaojie applied to withdraw..."

"Withdraw?" Lu Xu felt a little confused and asked, "Did he say so himself?"

The assistant then realized that Lu Xu was there, and hurriedly raised his finger to his mouth and made a "huh" gesture, looking around for fear of being heard by others.

Things like players withdrawing from the competition should not be told to the trainees, but Lu Xu happened to be looking at him leisurely, and the assistant blushed and whispered to him: "Yes, he said he wanted to withdraw from the competition not long after going to the hospital, and I don't know why. Brother Fan hasn't had time to talk about this yet, so you just need to listen to it, and don't tell anyone else."

Lu Xu is not the kind of person who likes to get along with others, and nodded to show that he understood.

When he pushed the door and walked into the lounge, he was still thinking, Lan Gaojie might know that he doesn't have much time left.

By the time Lu Xu returned to the team, the performance was already halfway through. The Hard Work Team was still in the lead, and it looked quite encouraging. As

soon as Xu Lele saw Lu Xu coming in, he couldn't help but ask him, "Where were you just now, Brother Xu? Several teams performed really well, but you missed them all."

Xu Lele didn't ask Lu Xu this to get an answer, but was anxious to share the results of the previous teams with Lu Xu, then pursed his lips and put his hand in Lu Xu's ear and whispered, "Don't think that the Hard Work Team is leading now, it will definitely be a draw in the end. The four mentors are all great people, and it won't look good if any team loses in the first performance..."

Lu Xu just listened to him and didn't express any opinions.

It was just as Xu Lele predicted, after the performance, the two teams had four wins and four losses, and in the end, it was a tie. After

the performance, the sixteen teams stood on the stage again, waiting for Liang Da to announce the votes and who was the most popular trainee.

"The team with the most popular trainee will be the winner today. Guess who will be the most popular trainee?"

After Liang Da read out the rules, many trainees went to see Lu Xu.

You know, Lu Xu is very popular, and his performance in "Monster" tonight was so strong, so it's no wonder that he should be the most popular trainee.

Everyone was optimistic about Lu Xu, but Lu Xu's attention inevitably drifted to the "Ability Commando". There are only five members left from the original six-member group. In order to avoid making the vacancy too obvious, the program team arranged them in a corner.

The camera flashed by, and with so many young faces gathered together, it would be difficult to notice that one was missing unless you paid special attention.

Thinking of the news that Lan Gaojie was going to withdraw from the competition, it was estimated that Lan Gaojie would not return to the apartment. If that were the case, he would have to go out for a walk tomorrow.

"...After voting by thousands of people on the scene, it was decided that the most popular person in this performance is Lu Xu! Let us congratulate Lu Xu together!"

Liang Da's voice rang out, and Lu Xu came back to his senses and smiled at the camera, as a thank you for everyone's recognition of him.

Just like that, the recording of the first performance ended.

"I'm so tired!"

"Finally I can rest!"

"Ahhh I really want to go back and take a shower and go to sleep!"

...

Before the performance, everyone was full of energy. Even if they were physically tired, they didn't feel tired because of the tension. But when the performance was over, everyone couldn't help but relax, only to find that their bodies were already extremely tired.

The four members of dormitory 201, as captains, led their teams to victory. In a sense, it was a super lineup.

Xu Haoming won the game, but he looked very worried when he walked on the road, as if he was worried about something.

Lu Xu happened to be beside him, and couldn't help but whisper to him: "Brother Xu, have you heard? Lan Gaojie is going to withdraw from the competition. Is this news true or false?"

Before Lu Xu could answer, Han Tianyu beside him couldn't help but say: "It must be false. Look at Lan Gaojie's current popularity and strength. He could have made a debut, so how could he be willing to withdraw from the competition?"

"But I heard from the staff..."

Han Tianyu pouted: "It's probably hype. How many people have become famous these days by hype. Let's wait and see, maybe that person is on his way back now."

Xu Haoming nodded when he heard his teammate say this, hoping that this was the case.

Lan Gaojie fainted too suddenly, and even if their relationship was not very good, he hoped that nothing would happen to him.

Lu Xu just listened to them the whole time, occasionally looking down at his phone to check the time -

only three hours left.

Almost everyone thought that the news of Lan Gaojie's withdrawal after fainting was hype, but not long after the competition ended, they returned to the dormitory and heard a real-time message - Lan Gaojie had withdrawn from the competition not long ago due to personal reasons.

As for the reason, no one knew.

"No way, he actually withdrew from the competition?"

"The news from the director's team is probably true."

"This guy is really funny, why does he want to withdraw from the competition after coming this far? It seems inexplicable," Xu Haoming was inexplicably angry, and even wanted to call Lan Gaojie and ask him to come back to compete properly. But he didn't have a close relationship with Lan Gaojie, and he had to give up thinking about it when he thought that he didn't even have his phone number.

Song Zhe also sighed, not understanding why Lan Gaojie really said: "He has the strength now, it's a pity that he retired."

But they are not Lan Gaojie, so they sighed and let it go.

The other trainees probably felt the same way. Not many players would be happy because they lost a competitor for no reason. We are all trainees, and we know how difficult it is to get to where we are today. Seeing Lan Gaojie retired, I just felt sad but couldn't do anything.

At night, Lu Xu lay in bed, listening to his roommate's voice gradually becoming lighter and rhythmic.

It was two o'clock in the morning, and there were only ten minutes before Lan Gaojie ascended to heaven.

Lu Xu, who was dozing on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, covered his head with the quilt, and disappeared. At first glance, it looked like someone was lying on the bed, but if someone came over and tapped it, they would find that it was already empty, with no trace of Lu Xu.
