The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 165 Victory

Edited by: Esperanza

Even if Zhou Yu and other people had already gotten used to little Muli’s beauty, they were also stunned by how pretty little Muli was when she wore that wedding dress. Staring at the close-up image on the big screen, no one could look away anymore.

Originally her appearance was already extremely high, now with the white phoenix wedding dress, it could be said that she completely defeated the other 12 idols in this contest. At this moment, all the other management companies’ bosses could only sigh helplessly, ‘motherfucker, she should in the S division, why is she appearing in the D division. It was like a maximum level player dressed in a full set of legendary armor, went to a newbie village to massacre newbies.’

Next, the big screen in the sky was split into 13 smaller ones, with the largest one taking up 70 percent of the original screen, and the rest scattered around the main screen. And the close-up image of little Muli always took the biggest screen from beginning to end. It could be said that in this segment, little Muli defeated other contestants completely.

On that huge airship lived a magical beast called “Focus”, which seemed to be the main control system of the ship. In the first introduction segment, it would stretch out its visual tentacles and automatically track down idols, who were trying to display their best looks to gain votes. Whoever attracted more attention, they would automatically occupy the biggest screen.

In the previous idol contests, Generally, everyone took turns to occupy the main screen, after all, the idols were already separated into different divisions, and the strength of the idols in the same division was not big. Occasionally, there were also some special cases like little Muli, who occupied the big screen all the time and became the only focus of everyone’s attention.

However, it was still a competition and not just a one-man show, so after little Muli took the main screen for one minute straight, the team, that hosted the contest, forced the image to switch to other idols, and then every Idol would have 10 seconds time to occupy the big screen. After all the idols were covered, the first segment also ended.

The second segment was a talent show.

This segment was about individual performance, thirteen idols would take turns to perform. There were three basic talents of idols: singing, dancing, and acting. The first two were easy to understand. In terms of acting, there would be a 5 minute mini-drama, just like a skit.

Originally, little Muli was good at acting, but the village did not have a professional scriptwriter to write a short play, so she chose to sing a song. The song was the theme song from the dragon’s treasure, which was a bit dated, but there was really nothing new to sing.

Bai Mo seemed to be able to compose, but so far he has not produced any work, it made Zhou Yu wonder if there might be something missing. After this contest was over, he needed to spend some time studying it.

What made Zhou Yu feel annoyed was that the celebrity from the real world on the ground was too noisy, which greatly reduced his viewing experience. Even a D-rated idol’s singing skill was better than that celebrity from the real world, not to mention the dancing skill or the acting skill. It was just because that celebrity was still relatively new, so many people were still interested in coming to the concert.

Zhou Yu really wanted to put a tape on this stupid celebrity’s bird-like mouth, so he could fully enjoy the show of the ACG world.

It was like playing two songs on the computer at the same time, all he could hear was just noises. Fortunately, the camera Truth had a noise cancellation function. After connecting the headphone cable to it, it would cancel out all the noises from the real world. At last, he could finally enjoy the show.

This made Lin Wan even more speechless. Looking at the sky during someone’s performance was already bad enough, now he even put on headphones. Why would he do this kind of thing during someone’s concert? Did the little boss come here to listen to the music or to make trouble? This strange behavior had successfully attracted the eyes of a few curious people around them. However, Zhou Yu didn’t care.

The individual performance seemed to be just a warm-up activity, the real performance was the second part of the talent show – Free For All.

Free-for-all was a complex judging system, in which 13 idols come together to test the teamwork and individual performance within a group. Similarly, the magical beast “Focus” would extend its tentacles to gather the data. Who the most popular one was, would be very clear to it. The whole show was like a musical, where all the idols would sing and dance at the same time, and it also lasted quite a while.

13 idols appeared at the same time, singing and dancing to tell a story, it was very interesting. But since it was called Free-for-all, contestants were allowed to compete with each other freely. From time to time some idols would show off their singing, dancing or acting. But doing that while not disrupting the rhythm of the show, required a lot of stage experience.

However, regarding this point, little Muli was very lacking. Moreover, whenever there was an opportunity for her to perform, many times, it would be taken away by other people. If it had not been for her solid foundation, plus during the individual performance, she had gotten a lot of attention, she probably would not have been able to get on the biggest screen.

Under the beautiful fireworks, the musical ended, and the contest also entered the final part – the award ceremony.

After all, it was only the D-rated competition, so it was definitely not as good as the S-rated competition. It was said that the S-rated competition was extremely magnificent. Whenever it was broadcast, it basically occupied all the TV stations in the ACG world. In terms of other divisions of the competition, naturally, the popularity would gradually decrease.

However, Zhou Yu really liked the concert of the ACG world. Especially the way they hosted it. It even made him wonder when he would be able to host this type of concert in Mini Luhua village.

The score sheet was released on the spot, and all the mini people at the scene were shouting their idols’ names, hoping that their idols would win. There were also many people that were hired by the management companies secretly, at the concert. However, they still couldn’t compete with little Muli’s supporters. After all, her overall performance was excellent, if she could not win the competition, no one would be happy about it.

The ACG world’s idol contest was not like the idol contest of the real world. In the real world, there were all kinds of hidden rules and dirty deals. But in the ACG world, as long as the performance was great, idols didn’t need to worry that someone would manipulate it.

After a moment’s silence, the screens in the sky came together again, then a large chart appeared, the thirteen idols’ icons were arranged in a row, and their popularity continued to rise all the way until the winner started to emerge.

Although the host was trying his best to hype up the atmosphere, there was no doubt who the winner would be. The red line that represented little Muli still continued to rise, even after other people’s lines were already stopped. When her line finally stopped. There was a huge gap between her line and other idols’.

She was truly a champion.

In the flowers and applause, little Muli’s beautiful image appeared once again, and with a charming smile, she waved at the audience.

“Congratulations to Luhua village’s idol, little Muli for winning the division D’s idol contest! Now please welcome little Muli’s guardian Mr. Zhou to say a few words.”

The host’s words scared Zhou Yu almost into throwing away the camera Truth in his hands, then he saw the huge airship casting a beam of light over him, and then his image appeared on the main screen in the sky.

‘Oh, my god. Shouldn’t the speech be given by the winner? Why are they looking for me?’ He didn’t even have any preparation. Who knows what he needed to say. Besides, how do you want him to give a speech in a crowd like this?

With so many fans cheering for the celebrity on the ground stage, you want him to give a speech below the stage? People would only think he was really here to cause trouble.

Alas, headaches!
