Chapter 140: Miracle

Sure enough, as if to prove Sheng Wenshi right, the female reporter slowly took off her scarf and glasses on her, and a beautiful face emerged on the huge screen. With such a close-up shot, everyone inside and outside the stadium went crazy!
The entire West Fourth Loop Stadium turned weirdly quiet for a while. After five seconds, cheers that resembled an earthquake began to sound, wave after wave. Countless people yelled out Li Nianwei’s name. Some had even started to cry and sob. The audience in the stadium were moved and excited, as they felt it was too worth it for them to have come. The people outside the stadium were beating their own chests—why did they purchase the tickets so late?! If they had bought their tickets early, wouldn’t they have had the chance to be physically close to their goddess?!
“Weiwei, I love you!” “Goddess, you’re my goddess!”
The stadium was filled with overwhelming cheers. Just this shot of Lin Nianwei was enough to make everyone excited to dawn this evening!
“Hong Dali has certainly thrown in his all!” Sheng Wenshi said powerlessly. “He even dared to let Miss Li Nianwei act as a temporary reporter to interview the stars. It’s such overkill. He has really squandered to the extreme...”
“To squander to such an extent can also be said to be a clever decision.” Ding Chengzhi had to admit. “With just this segment, it would let the program’s ratings burst the charts. Furthermore, the tickets for the next few episodes will definitely be highly sought after!”
“I have to admit, he is really good.” Sheng Wenshi smiled bitterly. “His ideas are not bad. Look at the famous domestic singers sitting on the side, many of them seem to be making calls already. They’re definitely trying to seek for the opportunity to participate in this show.”
“What use is there to call now,” Ding Chengzhi snorted. “Only one singer is eliminated every two episodes. How can the slot be so easily acquired? But in my opinion, even if they were asked to give hundreds of thousands to Young Master, they would definitely be willing!”
“I think so too.” Mu Zixiao, who was sitting beside them, said with a smile. “Dali’s actions can be described as godlike. We’re definitely not comparable to him. When I first saw him throw in so much money for a mere concert, I made fun of him. But now, my face has been slapped swollen by myself.”
“My face is also swollen.” Sheng Wenshi shook his head helplessly. “Forget it, if we look too much, it will be numb. Hey, let’s watch the show first.”

“Chu Zhongqin, Liu Yuqiong, Xia Yuyao, Fei Chang, Yang Jun, Xiong Mao, Jiang Ruoyu, Li Wei.” Looking at these contestants, Sheng Wenshi touched his chin and said, “Speaking of which, this lineup cannot really be considered as the nation’s most famous singers. But have you found out that there is a special trait in this lineup? It seems that the one behind the scenes of this program is quite smart.”
Ding Chengzhi nodded. “En, these singers are good, but they were unable to shine due to various reasons. Liu Yuqiong is talented but had no opportunity to show his skills. Xia Yuyao has good singing skills, but unfortunately, she’s not really pretty. Fei Chang and Yang Jun are not low in net worth and should be here after being invited by Chu Zhongqin. Xiong Mao is one of the best low-toned singers, but because of his appearance and age, his popularity is not that high. Jiang Ruoyu has good abilities and good looks and is also the talented hind but has had no opportunity to shine. Li Wei has good singing abilities and has had a few big-selling albums. Unfortunately, there were no good songs in his later albums, causing his popularity to get lower and lower. Finally, Chu Zhongqin—he can be considered the big brother of the music world, abilities wise. There is no doubt he is good.”
“Yeah, such a lineup, haha, there is definitely going to be a fierce battle today.” Sheng Wenshi whispered and smiled. “By relying on his golden face, Chu Zhongqin will most likely be the first in this episode, while the remaining seven people will compete for the remaining six places. It’s certainly not an easy task!”
Ding Chengzhi nodded. “This is an open bias. Everyone will not mind. Ok, it’s starting. Let’s see who can make it to the second place this episode!”
Originally, according to the initial thinking of Sheng Wenshi and Ding Chengzhi, as with similar shows, singers would basically do the same thing after the start of the show—go up one by one, put a solo performance, and appeal to the audience for them to vote for himself or herself.
However, soon after, they were shocked.
The first to sing was the 22-year-old young singer, Jiang Ruoyu.
As she belonged to the category where she was talented but had no opportunity to shine, Sheng Wenshi and Ding Chengzhi were prepared to close their eyes and enjoy her performance.
However, just as they were ready to close their eyes, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed. This sudden change made everyone confused. The audience had always thought that for a singer’s performance, the stage must be bright and flashy so that they could see the singer’s facial features. But they had not expected for there to be a technical fault so quickly.
“No, no,” Ding Chengzhi shook his head. “The Young Master is definitely not one who would make such a low-level mistake. I’m quite sure about this. But... what’s going on?”
Sheng Wenshi was also filled with doubt and said, confused, “With such dim lighting, how is it possible to see her face...”
As he spoke up to here, the whole stadium was suddenly engulfed in silence.
An eerie silence.
There was more than 50,000 audience in the stadium, and currently, all of them were completely silent.
It was just as if a bustling metropolis suddenly turned into a dead city.
The reason was, in fact, very simple. Starlight was illuminating next to Jiang Ruoyu!
It was real starlight! Stars slowly appeared from her side to her head, before appearing on the whole stage Jiang Ruoyu was performing on!
The stars had a variety of colors, ranging from yellow to blue to purple. They were like a child’s eyes, blinking from time to time, looking extremely beautiful!
“This... this is!!” Ding Chengzhi was completely shocked! It was not just him who was shocked, everyone present in the stadium watched in shock! Sheng Wenshi exclaimed, “What is this?! This scene is extremely beautiful...”
“It’s a Holographic Projection!” Mu Zixiao yelled at the side. “It’s the Holographic Projection in sci-fi films. God! Has Dali mastered such a technology?!”
Sure enough, with Mu Zixiao’s exclamation, tiny meteors slowly appeared around Jiang Ruoyu’s body!
Those meteors were tiny, but they looked very realistic. Those seated near couldn’t help but want to reach out to touch them and see if the meteors were real or fake!
Shock!
At this time, in the hearts of everyone, only the word “shock” could describe their feelings.
And just when everyone was exclaiming in shock, Jiang Ruoyu’s famous song, the prelude to “Starlight Teardrop,” began!
...
In the premium VIP room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLooking at the scene, Ling Yi was stunned with his mouth agape. He suddenly jumped over and hugged Hong Dali’s arms. “Big Bro Dali! Is this the holographic projection in sci-fi films?! The one where the image of a real person can be projected during a call?”
Hong Dali laughed and ate a mouth of peeled jelly given by Ling Xiaoyi. He nodded. “Yep, that’s right. It’s similar to that, but regretfully, it’s currently only able to project monochrome images.”
“Big Bro Dali, I will follow you from now on!” Ling Yi burst into tears in her excitement. “I have dreamed of such technology for a long time and finally saw it today! Big Bro Dali, after the concert ends, you must bring us to see it!”
Tang Muxin smiled and said, “Look at your current behavior. It’s exactly like a country bumpkin. When the show is over, we will take you there.” To be honest, it felt really good to make fun of others.
Du Xinzhen stared at the stage below and was left tongue-tied for a long time. After a while, he finally said, “I knew at the tip of my fingers that Big Bro Dali had invested heavily into the concert this time around...” He then jumped over and hugged Hong Dali’s arm. “But I didn’t expect that Big Bro Dali would have been able to come up with such a thing! Big Bro Dali, please bring little brother here for some fun too!”
“I... I am completely impressed...” Lang Hao looked at the happenings below while twisting his thighs. “The Young Master could even come up with such technology. Look at the cheers of the audience and the excited expressions on their faces. It’s estimated that in the next episode, 50,000 tickets are definitely not enough!” Lang Hao also hugged Hong Dali’s arm. “Big Bro Dali, please teach me how to squander! I have really widened my horizons today! I’m your loyal follower from now on! I want to be like you!”
“Squandering is an art that requires talent!” Hong Dali twitched his nose and once again said his classic line. “Squandering is a skill. Y’all wouldn’t understand.”
Tang Muxin, who was standing at the side, smiled and said, “That’s true, to be able to squander and have such a successful outcome, only Dali can do it in this world!” action
...
While Hong Dali was chatting and bullshitting with them, the audience below was completely captivated by the scene.
Jiang Ruoyu’s performance could be said to be perfect. Both the song and her live performance were amazing, and the special effects on stage could definitely be considered world-class. It was the Holographic Projection Technology we were talking about. Jiang Ruoyu was already beautiful originally. Coupled with the effects from the holographic stars, she seemed to be like a goddess. When the song reached the climax, countless meteors fell from the sky, making the performance breathtaking. Unless one had seen it personally, no one would believe that it was real.
Soon, “Starlight Teardrop” came to an end, and Jiang Ruoyu received the loudest applause in her life!
In the entire stadium, more than 50,000 hands were red, and the applause lasted for 30 seconds before it started to gradually weaken.
Outside the stadium, the countless audience was moved by the scene. This was a milestone in the music industry in the Heavenly State! This was a pioneering work in the world of music! A perfect song, coupled with the luxurious Holographic Projection Technology, this performance gave the same amount of shock as the time when humans first managed to fly a plane.
“This prodigal...” Sheng Wenshi collapsed in his chair and muttered. “This is a big story! Holographic Projection Technology, it’s actually the legendary Holographic Projection!”
“Young Master’s abilities are unfathomable!” Ding Chengzhi sighed. “No wonder the Young Master dares to say that whenever he produces something, it must be the best! If it’s not up to standard, then he will throw in all the money he can to make it the best!”
This program would not be able to have such effects if it were not for the Young Master organizing it.
“It’s... it’s an absolute miracle!”
