Chapter 30 Selection! (Please read~)
On the stage, the last group came on stage to sing.
It’s a pity that before the song was finished, the four screens opposite all lit up with FALL.
No instructor recognized it.
The accompaniment stopped, the performance was interrupted, and amid the contestants' regretful expressions, the stage slowly descended, and their journey came to an end.
After all the groups finished their performances, the host Sanshui came out to control the situation and put the final touches on the live broadcast.
The camera cuts to the instructors' seats, the audience seats, and the preparation room, and everyone waves goodbye.
The second live broadcast of "New Era of Heavenly Group" officially ended, and the mentors and audience left one after another.
But the recording is still going on and the contestants are still staying in the preparation room because the program team is about to announce the rules for the next round of performances.
When all the audience left the venue, the contestants began to head to the studio.
On the stage, a prop similar to a blackboard appeared, with circular magnetic stickers with numbers from 1 to 31 and 32 to 62 on the upper and lower areas respectively.
And these 62 numbers randomly correspond to the 62 combinations that successfully advanced this time.
When the contestants stood on the stage, Sanshui began to explain to everyone:
"Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the joint assessment of the mentors. Although I really don't want to interrupt your joy, the production team is cruel. They dumped the villain identity on me."
As soon as this was said, the contestants burst into laughter.
But some people also understood another meaning.
The next competition system may be a bit cruel.
Sanshui cleared his throat and continued, "You have all seen this board, right? The back of each number on it randomly corresponds to the name of your group."
Many contestants' hearts skipped a beat and they had a bad feeling.
Are all the groups here? What on earth is the production team trying to do?
Amid the curious, nervous, and puzzled gazes of the contestants, Sanshui said:
"The next step will be a 1v1 group match, where the audience and mentors will vote together. The group with the most votes will advance to the next round, and the group with the least votes will be eliminated."
Wow!
There was an uproar among the contestants.
"Oh my god! No way? 1v1 so soon after the show started?"
"This will directly eliminate half of the group! Production team, are you serious?"
"This competition system is quite big."
"That's great. I can go home next weekend."
"We'll book the tickets when we get back to the hotel."
The 1-on-1 combination competition system surprised the contestants, and some of the weaker combinations began to speak discouraging words.
"1v1... Sister Feng, I don't want to fight you guys."
In a corner of the stage, Tang Tang puffed his lips and spoke in a sad tone.
The several members of the Galaxy Girls next to her agreed with this and nodded consciously or unconsciously.
Based on Fenghuang Yufei’s on-stage performance today, who would dare to choose them in a 1v1 situation?
Unless you really want to go home early.
Feng Shiqi smiled lightly and said nothing.
Bai Xingjian looked at the eyes looking at him, confused.
Do these players want to go 1-on-1 with them, or don’t they?
Many players looked back and forth between Fenghuang Yufei and GoldenCold.
Their meaning is clear.
——Do you want to settle the feud between you now?
The internal digestion of two powerful combinations is the situation that everyone wants to see most.
Li Zhenxi ignored the looks and set his sights on the man with dreadlocks and the man in windbreaker not far away.
The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled evilly: "These two have actually made it this far. Wouldn't it be more interesting if I personally sent you out?"
Wang Yaqi smiled and nodded, understanding what Li Zhenxi meant.
The nearby contestants heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.
It's enough as long as you have a goal, even if it's not a phoenix flying to the sky.
"Gan!"
The man with dreadlocks glanced back and happened to meet Li Zhenxi's eyes. He understood the meaning instantly.
"Damn it! This production team actually came up with this kind of competition system. If I had known, I wouldn't have said those things in the preparation room earlier."
The boomerang came so quickly that the man with dreadlocks immediately felt regretful.
"Well, let's see how the combination is selected."
The man in the windbreaker was a little discouraged, but they still had a glimmer of hope.
"Next, the selection rules will be announced."
Sanshui glanced at the cue card in his hand and said, "I will randomly select contestants later. The selected contestants will randomly choose a number on the column display board. The combination corresponding to the number can freely choose a combination to challenge. The selected combination cannot be rejected. They will immediately pair up and have a 1v1 duel in the next episode."
After hearing the group selection rules, many contestants breathed a sigh of relief.
At least they still have the opportunity to choose and are not "randomly" matched together by the program team.
"Okay! Let's not waste any more time and start choosing right away!" Sanshui's passionate voice rang out.
Many contestants rushed to shout enthusiastically: "Choose me, choose me, choose me!"
Sanshui handled the scene in front of him with ease and raised his hand to point.
"Ladies first, the girl in the pink sweatshirt!"
"I choose... 2!" The girl in pink said directly: "This is my lucky number!"
Sanshui came to the display board, took off the magnetic sticker marked with 2, took a look at it, and then held up the back to show everyone:
"GoldenCold!"
Although the font on the back of the magnetic sticker is a bit small, the players can still see the content clearly through the live big screen.
The girl in pink covered her mouth with her hand, her face full of disbelief, and the contestants were talking about it.
"I picked GoldenCold right at the start? So exciting?"
"Damn it! GoldenCold, please don't choose me!"
"Oh my god! Go choose Phoenix Flying!"
"Cool cool."
The man with dreadlocks and the man in the windbreaker were immediately disheartened. They drew Golden Cold right at the start. Why were they still struggling?
"Please invite the representatives of GoldenCold to choose the group you will challenge." Sanshui made a gesture of invitation.
Countless players looked at GoldenCold, eagerly anticipating which combination they would choose.
"The phoenix is flying! The phoenix is flying! The phoenix..."
At this moment, a boy suddenly started to make a fuss.
But before he could yell any more, his teammates next to him held him down:
"If you want to die, just say so. Don't drag us guys into this, Cao!"
Looking at the teasing eyes directed at him, the boy instantly understood what his teammates meant and covered his face.
I was wondering why no one started to make trouble, it turns out they were afraid of getting into trouble...
The surrounding players burst into laughter, and even the three GoldenColds couldn't help laughing.
"Ground Zero Fire."
Wang Yaqi pursed her lips and directly said the name of the group consisting of the dreadlocks man and the windbreaker man without even looking at them.
No one found this result surprising.
In the preparation room, many contestants heard what the man with dreadlocks and the man in windbreaker said.
All I can say is that God has his own way of retribution and no one can escape it.
It's not that the boomerang won't come, it's just that its speed may be slower or faster.
"The chosen combination cannot be rejected." Sanshui read out: "Congratulations to GoldenCold and Zero Earth Fire for the successful match!"
There were scattered applause at the scene. Sanshui took off the No. 39 magnetic sticker in front of the display board. The combination name on the back was Zero Earth Fire.
The man with dreadlocks and the man in windbreaker shook their heads and sighed.
That’s good. I can go home directly next week.
