Surprise! The Supposed Talent Show Was Actually–?!-Chapter Ch198.2 - Seventh Elimination Match

Chapter Ch198.2 - Seventh Elimination Match

10 PM.

The lights in the Crosson twin towers went out, and the Crosson Show finally broadcast new materials after a month and a half of silence––

On the Star Blog, the related groups were all very active.

In a special part of the forum, the fans with the Scarf tag started howling ‘#Scarf will break up after graduation’, and an unknown marketing account immediately picked it up, causing traffic to pick up right away.

“God Wei still isn’t going to White Moonlight #crying #crying! Begging White Moonlight to give him a chance and consider him! These two people’s cooperation is really good! Scarf + Zoe-Lin + Caesar as a team would be really invincible!”

“Calm down! The White Moonlight Battle Team can’t be made up of a full team of trainees. The active players still need to make a living, hey. Besides, God Wei will be self-employed, and it’s his own choice. Even if this choice is a bit confusing…”

“I just woke up to find that my cute CP will have a bad ending?! How will they fall in love if they’re in different teams!!”

“No, meeting at the top of the Star League is super romantic. Based on a variety of technical analysis, God Wei is really much stronger than Little Witch. What God Wei needs is an opportunity, while Little Witch needs more experience. Both options are the best ones for them. It’s just that we need to enjoy more of their trainee sweetheart CP as much as we can now since it’ll turn into a mutual love and mutual killing type story soon…”

In the Scarf CP fanfiction zone, the big creator who’d made the serial about Little Witch having children seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, pushing out a ‘Wei Shi bravely went to defend the frontier, and his life or death was uncertain while Little Witch was in tears as he gave birth to their child’. It was a very abusive segment, but many candy producers still held firm to their positions:

“No way! My cute CP won’t have a bad ending. I don’t know if you guys have discovered this, but Little Witch’s attitude towards Wei Shi is very interesting. Little Witch is very obedient and well-behaved everywhere he goes, but he will bully God Wei. Sometimes, when I watch their interactions too much, I get an illusion that the two of them have already slept together…”

Outside of the Crosson circle, almost all the traffic was concentrated on the topic of the ‘Stardust Cup youth training game’.

There was no other reason for it. The survival show fans had more expectations for the King of Hearts than the entire group of Crosson Show trainees put together. The Crosson Show’s dozen or so players could be seen every year, but there was only one King of Hearts who had been able to lock in his c-position even before his debut. Even the KY fans jumped straight to the Crosson forums to post, drawing a chart to make a comparison between the ‘Stardust Cup starter’s popularity’ and ‘Crosson Show’s most popular player’.

Appearance: Wu Jin >> King of Hearts

Marksmanship, tactics, close combat, actual combat experience, and ability evaluation: King of Hearts >> Wu Jin

Wu Jin: 1 point, King of Hearts: 5 points.

Conclusion: Wu Jin, as the face of the Crosson Show, will be beaten up by the King of Hearts.

The Crosson forum exploded in the middle of the night.

Regardless of whether it was Wu Jin’s career fans, his appearance fans, CP fans, passer-by fans, or amusement fans, they usually fought against each other internally. However, at this time, they were united in fighting outward against this attack, “No way. Little Witch’s nose, eyes, collarbone, and shoulder blades are all good looking, +4 points. And he’s smart, +1 point. My Little Witch also has 5 points!”

“Little Witch has many fans because he’s able to capture fans from outside the circle! In a direct comparison, please look at @Crosson Show-Wei Shi and @Crosson Show-Wei Yan. By the way, both of them are Little Witch’s big brothers.”

“+1. Especially when it comes to Wei Shi.”

“How dare the King of Hearts step on the Crosson Show to push himself up? Does he know what makes God Wei the strongest player?”

“When people are frightened, their pupils will shrink. Before the life-saving capsule is ejected for any player, they will always be caught with contracted pupils in the monitoring pictures. This is the case for everyone except Wei Shi. In all six previous elimination matches, Wei Shi’s pupil size was the same as usual every time he entered his life-saving capsule. That means that this person’s elimination has always been within his own calculations.”

“As long as he wants, he can claim any position in the rankings.”

“Also, although Wu Jin has been involved in CPs, he’s not weak on his own.”

“The King of Hearts and his fans are looking down on this year’s Crosson Show a bit.”

The helicopter circled down.

At the edge of the arena for the seventh elimination match.

Wu Jin closed down his terminal and handed it over to the program group before looking out into the distance.

At the front of the tarmac was an ordinary factory park surrounded by simple barbed wire. There was a single door that led inside.

It was 4PM in the afternoon, and they could see the outline of the dormitory, the auditorium, and the half built outdoor stage in the sunlight.

It was similar to the closed training camps for boy groups in the 21st century.

“No pressure.” Zoe was giving his final pre-competition mobilization speech. He patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, “No matter what the people from the Stardust Cup are like, our own goal is very clear. 50 into 20, so we have to make it into the top 20 to advance.”

“They’re here.”

In the distance, the players from the Stardust Cup had also landed.

Wu Jin counted roughly; the number of people from both sides was the same, adding up to a total of 100 players.

All the equipment had already been distributed.

Wu Jin put on his wrist watch and suddenly thought of something nervously, “Did the sponsors for this round of competition forget to put up advertisements…”

The little editor beside him laughed loudly, “Little Witch, why are you worrying about the gold masters! Don’t worry, they didn’t forget! It’s said that their advertisement is related to biotechnology…”

Wu Jin didn’t have time to ponder over it as he was requested to check over the tracking watch for the game.

On the stage, the program producer held up a loudspeaker and started organizing the players into a line.

“Draw lots, come on, come on, come over and line up to draw lots! What are you drawing for? You’re drawing the script for your talent show!”

“Why are each and every one of you so slow? Hurry up and come up to draw your lots. If you’re standing behind Caesar, then I’m sure everything good will have already been drawn before you!”

The students were all shocked and ran over to cut in line in front of Caesar.

Caesar: “… Holy shit, this can happen too?”

Wu Jin was pushed to the front by the surging crowd.

He reached out, picked out a note from the small bottle, and opened it up.

“Talent show script number 96.” A stage manager immediately stepped up to lead Wu Jin to the dressing room, “The script will be given to you in a moment. Go in first and lie down beneath the surgical light.”

Wu Jin did as he was told and climbed obediently onto the operating bed, lying down properly.

The AI robot beside Wu Jin raised its arm and injected a chip into his wrist watch.

When Wu Jin opened up the watch again, he found that a few simple apps had been installed inside, including an internal notification app for the talent show and the gateway to a fan forum. There was only a single moderator announcement in the forum, and the rest of the forum was clean and empty.

After studying it for a while, Wu Jin found that his ‘script’ had also been stored into his watch.

After opening it up, the first thing he saw was a simple picture.

Wang Ping.

Male.

<Floating Idol Show>, new contestant. Initial audience vote count: 96.

––You are the first owner of the identity ‘Wang Ping’.

Wu Jin was stunned.

He hadn’t yet finished thinking about what that last sentence meant when the AI robot beside him suddenly started moving!

The metal fingers quickly swept across Wu Jin’s cheek, and the bio simulation coating was spread precisely over Wu Jin’s face. His eye shape, eyebrow shape, bridge of his nose, and facial features were all adjusted within the blink of an eye. After that, the shape of his hand joints were modified, and the color of his skin in the areas that were exposed beneath the training clothing was also changed––

Ten minutes later.

Wu Jin stood in a daze in front of the mirror.

The ‘him’ in the mirror and the ‘Wang Ping’ from the script were alike as two peas in a pod.

The Crosson Show’s live stream room.

Not only the contestant themselves, but even Blood Pigeon and Ying Xiangxiang were surprised by this incredible, extraordinary workmanship. The audience in the stream seemed to have exploded, “What is this?!”, “That’s too cool, is this some kind of black market bio modification technology? Who is the sponsor for this round––”

The program producer yelled, “Cut, cut to the advertising, quickly, quickly, quickly!”

A line of text floated out.

“Crosson Show’s seventh elimination match, jointly sponsored by Floating City Entertainment and Floating City Biotech––Painted Skin.”

Juurensha: Little Witch, show these guys what you’re capable of!
