After binding the entertainment system, she made countless top stars

9.3!

Tied with Clavia!

They're tied with Clementine!

Both the guests and the audience were surprised by this.

The former hid their emotions well; their surprise only lasted a second or two.

But the audience is different.

The barrage of comments, which had been densely packed with analysis and criticism, once again transformed into a screen full of exclamation marks.

It wasn't until more than ten seconds later that someone offered an opinion.

To be fair, Chen Yubai's new song is really good.

[Just because it sounds good doesn't mean it's on par with Cleveland!]

[I'm completely stunned. The judging panel was so generous!]

[What about those who say the judging panel might discriminate against people from other places?]

[The sky is falling! Be rational, Chen Yubai is still a newcomer!]

I cannot accept this.

[Please, some people shouldn't overthink it. Song selection is crucial for this competition. Ms. Clarfia sang difficult songs that aren't widely popular, so people might not like them. But Chen Yubai? He has incredibly talented songwriters! This is a 2v1 situation!]

[The preceding text is longer, therefore it is correct.]

[Winning in a 2v1 seems quite normal]

This songwriter is truly exceptional.

[Zi Gui, right? I didn't mistype my Earth's common language, did I? I'll go search for her songs right now.]

……

Some viewers expressed disbelief, while others attempted to explain.

Before we knew it, the conversation had turned to the person who composed the poem "Cuckoo".

Upon reopening Weibo, new entries had appeared in the topic of Chen Yubai's new song.

—The songwriters are terrifyingly talented.

I believe that this entry will soon appear on the front page of the news, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

As Lu Wanxing watched the focus of the comments shift step by step, she couldn't help but turn to look at her older sister.

"Although the competition is on stage, the real big boss is you, right?"

The words from my heart came out unconsciously.

Lu Wantang's smile was 'kind': "What did you say?"

Realizing she had misspoke, Lu Wanxing quickly waved her hand, "N-nothing, I meant, you're amazing, sis!"

"Furthermore, the online votes haven't been counted yet. I feel Chen Yubai has quite a few supporters, and he might be able to surpass Cleefia in one fell swoop."

"Not necessarily." Lu Wantang shook her head.

"Why?" Lu Wanxing didn't understand. "At least many people in Dongzhou will vote for Chen Yubai, right? There are quite a few fans of Tangxing Entertainment artists in Nanzhou and Beizhou. And considering that, plus Chen Yubai is also a person who speaks the same common language... he should get a lot of votes, right?"

Lu Wantang shook her head again.

Before Lu Wanxing could ask any further questions, Xiwen had already announced on television that the voting period had ended.

The moment the timer expired, the numbers displayed on the bar chart were hidden.

"Next, we will reveal the results of the online vote."

Perhaps considering the time constraints, Xiwen didn't keep them in suspense and started making the announcement directly.

"Metallica has received 237 million votes across the entire internet!"

The statistical chart displays the numbers.

The huge number of votes caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

Heavy explained, "This is the total number of votes from the four continents."

With billions of people across four continents, even if only 5% of "The Voice of the West" is watched, that's still tens of millions of people.

Millions of votes isn't really a lot.

The group calmed down considerably after being reminded.

"Dolly has received 211 million votes across the entire network!"

"Louis has received 236 million votes across the entire network!"

"Sean, you have received 233 votes across the entire network!"

The first four people received roughly the same number of votes.

Based on the rule that each person can only cast one vote, it's clear that the number of people watching this show is likely much higher than expected.

And we also have to count the casual viewers who are too lazy to vote.

That must be a huge number.

After the results came out, the staff behind the scenes were already in an uproar.

Even now, many people are still unsettled.

"Cleifia has received 603 million votes across the entire network!"

The votes nearly tripled, once again eliciting gasps of surprise.

"Rosalyn has received 244 million votes across the entire network!"

Rosalyn's votes dropped back to two million, but this time she wasn't ridiculed.

Or rather, those who were mocking the show, after learning that the guests had received so many votes, were no longer targeting any particular guest, but were questioning whether the entire production team had fabricated the data.

"Lydia has received 271 million votes across the entire network!"

Compared to Cleifia, Lydia's popularity is considerably lower.

The upcoming announcement of Chen Yubai's vote count has attracted even more attention.

[Won't Chen Yubai get more votes than Cleefia?]

[Any viewers from both the North and South continents who can share their experiences—did you vote for Chen Yubai?]

[I'm suddenly so nervous, is Chen Yubai really going to make a comeback?]

[If they really manage to pull off a comeback, all I can say is that the cuckoo is truly amazing.]

[If Chen Yubai had received more votes, wouldn't you think that's unfair? He has three continents backing him up.]

[Chen is from Dongzhou, not from either the North or South!]

[This is considered unfair? What about the home-field advantage of the Western Continent guests?]

……

Amidst the discussions, Lu Wanxing couldn't help but clench her fists.

The more seriously he watched the show, the more he hoped Chen Yubai could win.

"Chen Yubai has received 521 million votes across the entire network!"

The dust has settled, and as of now, Chen Yubai remains in second place, failing to make a comeback.

Many people take it for granted.

Chen Yubai is a newcomer after all. Even with the trump card of Zigui, it is impossible for him to surpass veteran singers like Clementa in one fell swoop.

Unless Clavia makes a glaring mistake like in the last episode.

But more often than not, it was an unexpected turn of events.

In their view, the three continents of the East, West, North and South should all support Chen Yubai.

Firstly, his songs are indeed good, and his talent is also considerable.

The second reason is what Lu Wanxing had given.

Lu Wanxing shared the same thought.

He looked at Lu Wantang with eager curiosity.

The latter had already said "not necessarily," and judging from his tone, he seemed to think that Chen Yubai would not be able to make a comeback.

He's practically a 'prophet'.

Lu Wantang sighed, "It's not a prophecy, it's a deduction."

Lu Wanxing: "?"

"The Voice of the West is a program from the West, and it has the largest audience in the West. The East also promotes it more than the North and South, so—"

Lu Wanxing immediately understood: "So the combined audience numbers of the three continents—East, South, and North—may only be as many as, or even less than, the audience numbers of the Western Continent?"

Lu Wantang snapped her fingers: "bingo!"

"Oh, I see. I hadn't even thought about that."

Lu Wanxing nodded understandingly, "No wonder Chen Yubai couldn't beat him..."

"It's uncertain after that. The production team has started a public vote, and other continents are also doing related promotions, which should attract a lot of viewers."

We'll have to vote then, and who knows who will come out on top.

Many people have also thought of the discussion between the siblings.

However, most of the audience, especially the Westerners, were happy for Cleefia's victory.
