Chapter 214 "TOP IDOL" in progress 15.0
"Yubao~ You're so popular lately? You're almost overshadowing me!"
Wei Qianze leaned against the fence and bumped Xie Qingyu's shoulder with his elbow.
The 4×200m land relay race was making final preparations, and the noise from the audience was getting louder and louder.
This kid really scared him yesterday and made him break out in a cold sweat. He thought he was being cheated by the brand.
The internet trolls hired over there were spreading negative news reports clearly to target Xie Qingyu, and he even prepared a plan to suppress the trending searches.
As a result, the young man named Xie was able to use little effort to achieve a great result. He not only escaped unscathed but also climbed up the ladder.
Wei Qianze smacked his lips, thinking that he was worthy of being the one who had been with him for so long, and that he had escaped beautifully.
But then he thought again and couldn't help frowning: "Don't play such a dangerous game next time, it's not easy to walk on the tightrope."
Regardless of whether Xie Qingyu and Velléa had a tacit understanding or acted on the spot, it was too dangerous.
It’s the time when your star journey is bright, what if you let it go wrong?
When Wei Qianze was reviewing the whole incident yesterday, he felt that the operation of that crappy brand was disgusting, but no matter what, he should have left himself a way out.
How come I didn't realize this guy was such a gambler before? Is it easy to handle this kind of hot potato traffic?
Xie Qingyu was just raising his hand to respond to Leo who was waving at him from the field. Upon hearing this, he shook his head slightly: "I didn't walk the tightrope."
He couldn't say that except for Velléa's sudden appearance, everything else was within his expectations, right?
Does this make him look very scheming?
"If you didn't leave, then you——"
Wei Qianze was just about to start preaching when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the cameraman carrying the camera and turning towards him.
His face changed instantly, his peach blossom eyes curved into willow-shaped ones, and he blew a kiss to the camera.
The audience suddenly exploded with screams, perfectly covering up his unfinished chatter.
He told her but she didn't believe him, Yu Yuzi was helpless!
"Why do you always have to say things behind our backs? Aren't we good friends? You're not being honest at all!"
[Please, let me stand between them and act as a human translator!]
[After all, it was a mistake. We are so estranged (wiping tears)]
[Aren't we supposed to be focusing on the game? Where are you all looking? (Laughing and crying)]
[Ahem, what's so interesting about the relay on land? A real woman should be seen underwater!]
[Sister Kuchako flew into my face!]
[A serious friend of mine wants to ask... what color are your swimming trunks?]
[No matter if it's black or white, turn them all into yellow! ! !]
[They can take it off, right? They should all take it off. Let me be clear, I'm just a simple little girl, just asking casually.]
[Didn't they swim the 50m freestyle yesterday afternoon? They were wrapped up so tightly, and the team's performance was probably in jeopardy.]
[Bur, it's a must for girls to wear more, but why should boys be so reserved? I'm so disappointed!]
[Oh my god, I really want to see this! I'm a big fan of pure race! Please, male Bodhisattvas, save me.]
[Aaaaah, my nose is bleeding just thinking about it!]
[But how can we be sure they really have it? At least you can see their faces without taking off their clothes, but is it really appropriate to look at their ribs after taking them off? It's not like you're buying pork at the market.]
[I don’t know about anything else, but my kid is definitely talented! (Chest puffed out with pride)]
[What are you talking about? I don't understand. (Pure winks)]
[Hurry up and send that little cutie upstairs to the children’s section!]
[Sometimes ignorance is bliss (lights a cigarette)]
"Isn't it inappropriate for Teacher Wei to be so lazy?"
As long as the cameraman doesn't leave, it's impossible for the two of them to just stand there without saying a word.
Xie Qingyu looked at the other four members of Eclipse who were talking in the field, then looked at Wei Qianze who was extremely leisurely beside him, and shook his head in disapproval.
Wei Qianze confidently pulled out a bag of spicy noodles from his pocket and shook it comfortably: "Competitions require a balance between tension and relaxation, and a combination of work and rest~"
In order to save the face of the program team, he also specially changed the packaging bag to a plain color, so that no one could tell that this was a well-known spicy snack brand.
Xie Qingyu waved her hand and declined, unable to help but observe a three-second silence for Ange and the others on the field.
——What a great move: “The hard work goes to teammates, and the leisure is all my own”, this double standard is really played to perfection.
But it was not entirely unreasonable, so Xie Qingyu decided to follow his example.
Turning our attention back to the competition field, Leo, as the first runner, was confirming the connection on the side, Ding Zai and You Jinzhao were doing the final warm-up, and Bai Lang closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
Gu Yan and Wei Liangchen beside him also stopped smiling and stared intently at the competition field.
Putting aside the team honors, the 20 points for the 4×200m relay alone are enough for all teams to give their all.
As individual events come to a close, with some fun sessions sprinkled in between, the race for the leaderboard is now heating up:
Real-time standings
1. MYST7 (boy group) 73.8 points
2. MIRAI∞ (girl group) 67.9 points
3. Eclipse (male group) 66.5 points
4. Lunar Tide (Men's Group) 65 points
5. LUMAé (girl group) 64.6 points
6. SSG-J (women's group) 64.2 points
7. NEONEX (boy group) 61.9 points
8. AUR5N (Men's Group) 61.3 points
9. Crystal Tears (girls group) 59.8 points
10. Aether (Men's Group) 56 points
Although the men's and women's events are conducted separately, the points are calculated uniformly.
They are currently at the top of the list, but the points gap between the teams is extremely close, and they will be overtaken if they are not careful.
The final team event became the key battle to determine the outcome.
The women's competition kicked off first.
"Bang--"
The blast of the starting gun cut through the air, and four figures rushed out from the starting line.
The 200-meter race is not long, but it tests teamwork and personal explosiveness to the extreme.
Every moment of passing the baton is heart-wrenching, and everyone is trying their best to gain even a 0.1 second advantage for their teammates.
In the first leg, the teams were still on par with each other, but when the second and third legs came, the gap gradually became apparent.
The MIRAI∞ and Crystal Tears teams gradually distanced themselves from each other, like two arrows piercing the air in parallel.
In the final sprint, Wen Xuenai of Crystal Tears suddenly broke out and completed a comeback before the finish line - and finally won the championship with a 0.5-second advantage!
The standings are updated in real time with the results of the matches:
- Crystal Tears +20 points
- MIRAI∞+14 points
- SSG-J +10 points
Xie Qingyu looked up at the central screen and saw the rankings of the three groups surging like a tide:
MIRAI∞ jumped to the top of the list with 81.9 points, and Crystal Tears, which was originally ranked ninth, saw its points soar to 79.8 points thanks to this victory, directly landing in second place.
There were bursts of exclamations from the sidelines.
The ever-changing battle situation is like a flag blown by the wind. In the arena, there is never a stable throne.
The smoke of the women's group has not yet cleared, but the battle drums of the men's group have already sounded.
Xie Qingyu collected his thoughts and refocused his attention on the competition.
Before the competition, their team had conducted a predictive analysis and found that the land relay was more likely to achieve good results than the underwater relay.
In this case, try not to make any mistakes and win the game.
The main camera swept across the starting line, and the first runners of each team had their eyes sharp and were ready to go.
The atmosphere at the scene was so frozen that even the air seemed to have stopped flowing.
[Come on, everyone in front of the screen, follow me and take a deep breath. We are not at the scene or competing, but we can still breathe.]
[Oh my god, thanks for the reminder, I really can't breathe]
[The team points fluctuate so drastically that the rankings can fluctuate dramatically if you're not careful. It's really scary to watch.]
[The talent show office is definitely addicted to this rotten grape system, using this kind of "breeding poison" system. Not only are the points for the official events counted, but even the fun elements affect the overall rankings, making the individual post-match score gaps so close.]
[Just a joke: the "random" selection process for "TOP IDOL"~]
[It's obvious that they want to balance the points of each group. The production team doesn't want the gap to be too big.]
[Well, it's a variety show, so of course there's going to be some entertainment. Besides, don't you all enjoy watching it?]
[Even if I love watching it, it doesn't stop me from calling it a piece of shit!]
[This arrangement is reasonable. If the points gap is too large, the subsequent games will lose suspense.]
[Queshi, look at how hard these beans worked in today's team competition.]
[There is always a brave man under a big reward. With big prize resources ahead, a group that doesn’t work hard and has no ambition is not worth pursuing.]
[The truth! A group that relies solely on the efforts of its fans won't last long.]
The starting gun sounds and the competition officially begins.
As the individual sprint champion, Leo's strength is unquestionable. He established a body advantage in the first leg.
Although You Jinzhao failed to expand his lead in the second leg, he firmly maintained his advantage.
The third runner, Ding Zai, performed even better, further widening the lead.
When the baton was passed to Bai Lang, Xie Qingyu unconsciously clenched his fists.
Top student Bai Lang rushed to the finish line like an arrow, and eventually surpassed Lunar Tide by two body lengths and crossed the finish line first.
“They won!!!”
Xie Qingyu grabbed Wei Liangchen's arm beside her with a little excitement, her voice full of uncontrollable joy.
On the huge electronic screen, the eye-catching words "+20" jumped behind the MYST7 team name, and the total score of 93.8 allowed them to return to the top of the list.
The cheers in the stadium surged, but the outcome was not yet decided.
——The final winner of the championship will be decided by the final showdown of the team underwater relay in the afternoon!
