Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Hong Dali’s team, Li Nianwei was definitely a very caring sisterly-like figure. It was okay for the others to be slightly bullied, but if anyone dared to bully Li Nianwei, Hong Dali would definitely not let the person off. Tang Muxin hugged Li Nianwei’s arm, smiled and said, “That’s right, Sister Nianwei. It’s fine, just go and sing, all of us will protect you, hehe!”
Li Yang patted his chest and assured her. “Yup, don’t worry Sister Nianwei. My life isn’t worth much, if something really happens, I will protect you with my life!” Yup, his attributes were greatly boosted and he was very confident of himself now. He was also quite reliable now.
“Then…” Li Nianwei thought for a while and finally nodded. “I shall participate…”
“Of course you should participate!” Hong Dali rubbed his nose, laughed loudly, and said, “Not only should you participate, but you also have to win first place! We can’t let you join a singing competition but don’t have a good result, right!?”
Once he said this, things were basically decided.
“Dali.” Tang Muxin sweetly begged him and said, “Since you want Sister Nianwei to get first place, then what do you think she should sing? Can you choose a song from those songs that you wrote for her last time?”
Back on Earth, Hong Dali wrote a few songs when he was bored. Since there was Li Nianwei around, he wasn’t afraid that there would be no one suitable for singing the songs he wrote. However, they were at the center of the Milky Way Alliance now, and the competition was between 100 Main Cities for the next stage, the participants were the top three candidates from each main city!
For such a competition, all those who could become the top three in their main city were all geniuses in the music world, weren’t they? And now, all of these geniuses were gathered together in one competition, the final winner would really be the genius amongst the geniuses.
It was especially important that in the Sing! Milky Way competition, as long as the candidate proceeded to the next stage, the previous results would be voided.
This meant that in the next duel, the number of support rates that the candidate received previously wouldn’t be important anymore. What was important then was the performance of the singer and support rate for the current duel!
There were numerous previous examples of candidates who won first place in their city but in the next stage got eliminated because they didn’t perform well enough.
It was especially important that they needed to pick a song that was very popular and had a very beautiful melody. Also, the song would need to be able to let the singer show their full potential.
If the singers didn’t pick properly, they probably wouldn’t get a good result. For this stage’s competition, the music stone that was unique in the universe would be used to judge them—which means to say that other than not being able to judge how well the lyrics were, the music stone would judge the songs’ melody, the singers’ voice, and such. There definitely wouldn’t be any luck involved.
“That’s right.” Jiang Qianxue nodded and said, “Dali, the judging for the second stage is even more stringent, especially the picking of the song, you mustn’t be careless about that, don’t ruin her chance.”
“Don’t worry.” Hong Dali grinned and said, “How would it be possible that I will be careless about such an important thing. I have already picked the song long ago!”
…
In the center of the Milky Way Alliance, there was one thing advantageous here. All kinds of major competitions could be viewed in the virtual world.
Therefore, the people here were spared from the trouble of needing to travel around. The space allocated for audiences was very spacious too, they just need to pay a very small amount of money and would be directly teleported to the competition venue for the various main cities.
As for the participants, it was even more simple—they could directly look for the teleportation staff to be teleported and just wait for the surroundings to change…
Now that the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars was over, everyone was preparing to watch the latest Sing! Milky Way competition.
After all, the previous stage was only considered an audition, many of the singers were actually not up to the standard required.
But this time, things were different.
This time, it was really a fight between the true masters. After all, all of the top three from the main cities were all very capable of singing.
Therefore, before the competition had started, all the people on Silver-blue super-planet who liked to watch this competition had already started to search for the singers’ information.
…
After becoming a loyal supporter of Sing! Milky Way, Campbell would watch every season of the Sing! Milky Way competition.
Therefore, he paid extra attention to this time’s competition between the 100 cities. The number one singer from his Sen Ling Main City, Caroline, was his favorite singer out of all the singers for the past two years.
Caroline was sunny, beautiful, and had a unique voice that was very recognizable. It wasn’t an overstatement to say that Campbell listened to her songs all day every day. For this times’ competition, Campbell kept close track of the official forum for the competition. Because in here, the forum would post the information of all the singers from the 100 Main Cities participating in this times’ competition.
“Just five more minutes, then the information of the 300 singers will be out.” Campbell stared deadly at the screen. “I must definitely find out who is Caroline’s strongest opponent! Although Caroline’s support rate this time hit a record high of 72 million in our Sen Ling Main City, there are no guarantees for this kind of stuff. If there really is someone very strong…”
As he thought of this, he became even more and more nervous.
Very quickly, the information of the 300 singers was posted on the forum. Campbell instantly started flipping through them—
“Sam’s support rate is 55 million, this is only average. Ella, support rate 54 million, she’s not a problem too. Evans, support rate 61 million, yup, this one is quite strong. Emily, support rate 57 million, average too…”
Campbell flipped through all of the singers in this manner, recording down all those singers who had above 60 million support rates.
After all, there was a ridge between 50 million and 60 million.
For Caroline who had a support rate of 72 million, those singers with less than 60 million support rates were practically no match for her, only those singers with more than 60 million support rates were a challenge to her. As for those above 70 million support rates… The highest support rate in the entire history of Sing! Milky Way was only 75 million, Campbell didn’t believe that someone that strong would appear in this competition too.
Then, very quickly, he was completely shocked!
Li Nianwei, from Shenluo Main City, support rate: 85 million!
“What the heck! Am I seeing things? A support rate of 85 million!? Is that for real!?” Campbell violently rubbed his eyes. “What the heck, she must be cheating, right!? A support rate of 85 million, even if she was cheating, this is too crazy! Shenluo City?”
He hurriedly entered the subforum for Shenluo City. Then, very quickly, he was stunned—
“Li Nianwei, Shenluo City’s new goddess-level singer. With absolute capability, she became the champion for Shenluo City’s Sing! Milky Way. She is currently the singer who had the most amount of people who believed that she would be champion for the next stage too. Her song ‘Time Boils the Rain’ gained a support rate of 85 million. Singing characteristics: Her voice reaches directly to the soul, can influence almost all audiences in the venue, praised by those who like her as a Soul Singer, the goddess of the new generation.”
“Soul Singer, the goddess of the new generation?” Campbell couldn’t believe his eyes. One must know that in the history of Sing! Milky Way, all those who could be labeled as a goddess were all extraordinary. Caroline was labeled as a goddess by the people in Sen Ling city too, but the appraisal for her didn’t seem to be as high as Li Nianwei’s.
“This is a formidable opponent, she’s definitely Caroline’s greatest enemy!” Campbell’s eyes shone as he hurriedly took out his communicator.
Since he was a loyal supporter of Sing! Milky Way, his identity was slightly special too.
He was the Music Director of a music company. This time, he played a big role in boosting Caroline’s popularity. Now that such a formidable opponent appeared, he naturally couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.
“Is Miss Caroline free now?” After his call to Caroline’s entertainment company got through, he anxiously said, “A super formidable opponent appeared this time. Be very careful, if not, she might lose.”
On the other side, the person laughed and said, “Haha, what super formidable opponent, how formidable could the person be? Our Caroline had a support rate of 75 million! Do you know what this signifies? In the entire history of Sing! Milky Way, the number of people who had a higher support rate than her can be counted on one hand. What other strong opponents could there be, just relax and enjoy the competition.”
“Damn, didn’t you even look through the information on the web?” Campbell really felt like scolding them! This bunch of people was too arrogant. They didn’t even search for their opponent’s information, they were really seeking death!
“Who is capable of pitting up against our Caroline?” The person on the other side was as confident as usual.
“I really want to go over and slap you to death now!” Campbell loudly roared. “The champion in Shenluo City is called Li Nianwei, she is known as a goddess-level singer, her support rate is 85 million! 85 million! You guys are still dreaming over there!?”
A “thud” sound could be heard, the person on the other side seemed to have dropped down on the floor.
After about three seconds later. “How many did you say!? 85 million!? She must have cheated, right? She hired people to push up the numbers, right? The highest amount of support rate in the history of Sing! Milky Way is only 75 million, but a singer with a support rate of 85 million appeared this time? What the heck!”
“Rubbish! Of course, I know that the highest in history is 75 million.” Campbell anxiously said, “But this time, it’s definitely real! I just saw it!”
“Wait, let me see!” The call directly ended after the person said, “I will call you back later.”
“This bunch of useless people.” Campbell was completely speechless. “They participated in the competition without even knowing the strengths of their opponents, they will end up very badly that way!”
He wasn’t being over alarmist.
Although singing competitions were very different from that of martial arts competitions, they should at least be mentally prepared. For competitions at the 100 Main Cities level, even the slightest carelessness might lead to them ending up in defeat, this was definitely not a joke.
Very quickly, his communicator sounded. Once he picked it up, a series of roaring sounds came. “We are in trouble this time. I just asked about, the support rate of 85 million is real! It’s real! The type that every single support rate is real!”
“What!?” Campbell was so shocked that he directly stood up!
