Chapter 6 Negative Emotions
"Do you know your ex-boyfriend's partner? Could it be that his partner is so great that he has the confidence to sit in the first row?"
"I know her. She's from our school. They were childhood sweethearts. I've never heard her sing, so I don't know how she sings."
"Well, we'll know in a moment."
Li Zhenzhen and Zhang Long, who were sitting in the second row, chatted and analyzed in low voices. As one group of players after another came out, the number of remaining seats on the field became fewer and fewer.
Except for Lin Zhixing and Song Ge, no one else chose the C position in the first row.
In a blink of an eye, it was the last group of contestants' turn to appear on stage, and the contestants' information appeared on the stage screen.
【No. 63】
【Sunshine Youth Group】
【Declaration of participation: I will illuminate and warm you like the sun. 】
The person hasn't come out yet, but the mere appearance of this message has driven the female audience crazy.
Eight young men in handsome suits waved and appeared on stage. Although they were a group, the eight of them had different styles. There were little wolves, little milk dogs, cool handsome guys, and sunny boys... Their movements were in unison, and their winks and blew kisses made the audience scream continuously.
"Wow, babies, I love you so much!"
"Husbands, look over here!"
They already had a fan base on Weibo before participating in the competition. The agency behind them is the very powerful "Haisen Records". The agency has spent a lot of money on training and publicity for them and is very confident that they can make them famous in this show.
In this age of appearance, there will always be one among the eight people who will impress you. I have to say that the eight-member group is a bit rogue. They will attract a large number of female groups, and the proportion of female groups watching variety shows is quite high.
The group that can rival the female group is the middle-aged and elderly group who do not use the Internet and watch TV for entertainment.
"Oh, this is a tough nut to crack."
Lin Zhixing crossed his arms and looked at the eight young men. He had a premonition that they would be a huge stumbling block on the road to winning the championship.
He was not the only one who felt this way. The other contestants also felt nervous when they saw such popularity.
Amidst the applause, eight young men stood in a row and walked towards the contestant seats. As they approached, the blond captain walking in front suddenly raised his fist high, and then the team stopped.
"What are they doing? Why are they suddenly not leaving?"
Just when everyone was confused, the blond captain raised the index finger of the hand he raised.
"One! Their goal is to be number one!"
"Wow, good job, husbands. I believe you can do it!"
Amidst the warm applause from the audience, the eight teenagers sat down in the first row of seats in an orderly manner, becoming the second self-rated strongest group of the night.
"Fuck, you really know how to add drama to yourself!"
"From the looks of it, I thought they had won the championship. They haven't even started singing yet, and they're already being so flashy."
Just her appearance caused dissatisfaction among many contestants in the audience.
The camera cuts from the contestant seats back to the main stage.
The host under the spotlight announced, "Okay, all the contestants are in place. The assessment will officially begin. The first group of contestants to take the stage are... Please look at the big screen!"
The names of all the groups scrolled on the stage screen, and after the ten-second countdown, the picture froze.
"Now, please welcome the first group, 'Talented Man and Pretty Girl'!"
Following the host's loud announcement, the first group to be assessed stood up, left the audience and walked straight to the stage.
"Okay, keep going!"
Applause broke out from the audience.
A talented man and a beautiful woman?
Let me see if this group deserves the name.
Lin Zhixing glanced sideways at the stage curiously, took a few glances, then turned around and looked behind him. It turned out that "A Talented Man and a Pretty Girl" was the name of the group of his ex-girlfriend and her new love.
It seems that this composer student compares himself to a talented person, and his ex-girlfriend is also very confident about her looks.
Lin Zhixing's comment was - Bah, I have never seen such a shameless person! ...
The stage lights dimmed and a lyrical piece of music began to play.
They gazed at each other lovingly, then slowly opened their mouths and sang a duet love song that has been very popular recently.
After the singing, mentor Zhao Weiwei gave some comments.
"The voice is good, the singing technique is very skillful, and the emotions are very invested, which makes people in love feel involved. The cooperation between the two is also great. Not bad, I give you a second-rate rating for this song!"
Instructor Shen Fei also agreed, "I agree with Instructor Weiwei's point of view, and I will also give you a second-class evaluation!"
In the end, the handsome man and beautiful woman were rated "second class" and continued to have the right to sit in the second row.
"If you're sitting in the second row, stay in the second row. That's a good estimate."
"The big stuff is not brought out. As expected, the first match is to conserve strength and test the waters."
The other contestants were talking about the performance of the talented man and the beautiful woman. Lin Zhixing felt that they posed no threat to him and was still very confident in himself.
The contestants' information continued to scroll on the stage screen, and groups took the stage one after another.
As time passed, the faces of the contestants in the contestant booth gradually became gloomy. They thought that the match was just the beginning, but unexpectedly it was the peak.
The five groups that came on stage afterwards all retreated one or two rows. One of the girls was even scolded by mentor Wang Cong until she cried. The atmosphere gradually became tense.
Lin Zhixing watched several performances carefully and planned to chat with Song Ge to analyze them. He turned around and found that she was staring at the stage curtain in a daze. "What are you thinking about? Why don't you look at your opponent on the stage?"
"I heard..."
Song Ge replied absentmindedly, and after a few seconds, she suddenly raised her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Zhi Xing, have you broken up?"
Their eyes met. Lin Zhixing was silent for a moment and nodded, "Yeah, we broke up."
Actually, I didn't want to tell her about my ex-girlfriend. Telling her would be like treating her as a backup, which would make anyone feel uncomfortable. But since she asked, I shouldn't lie.
"oh."
Song Ge slowly lowered his head, as if he understood something.
No wonder Zhixing seemed like a different person all of a sudden. His recent cheerfulness and strength were probably just pretend. After being together for three years, he must be very painful inside.
【bite!】
[It is detected that the host has caused the partner to gain the negative emotion of "worry", and the proficiency of "rap" has been reduced by 2 points! ]
【Current: Rap D (2/5). 】
The system prompt sound echoed in his ears, and Lin Zhixing was sure that he had not heard it wrong.
Huh? Why did the system suddenly reduce the attribute points? After telling her the truth, she must have felt very uncomfortable, so she had negative emotions.
That's not right...
The negative emotion prompted by the system is "worry" rather than sadness.
She is worried about me now? Why?
Lin Zhixing felt like his brain had crashed, but he didn't have time to think about it. He had to quickly get her away from this negative emotion.
God knows if the deductions will continue. If they lead to relegation, we will be doomed.
"Pigeon...Pigeon, you don't have to worry about me. I haven't wanted to continue dating her for a long time. Breaking up is a relief for me. I enjoy everything I eat now. I can eat three bowls of rice in one meal and sleep for ten hours..."
Lin Zhixing was so anxious and excited that he didn't know what he was saying.
“…”
Song Ge stared at him blankly as he spoke incoherently, his knuckles gradually turning white from pulling at the corner of his clothes.
It was really a great stimulation!
Oh my god, what should I do? [Ding! ]
[It is detected that the host has caused the partner to gain the negative emotion of "worry", and the proficiency of "rap" has been reduced by 3 points! ]
【Current: Rap E (1/2). 】
[Note: After the skill is downgraded, it will enter the protection stage and experience will not be deducted again within 72 hours. ]
The system prompt sounded again, and Lin Zhixing's eyes widened, completely stunned.
My level has been downgraded! Oh my god, what should I do? (End of this chapter)
