0713: You who shine in the parallel world

The second stage of team selection was another major battle, because only the first team to assemble five members could be formed, and there were only four such opportunities. So after the remaining ten people were given the chance to choose, the six captains rushed to their desired teams with their teammates.

Meanwhile, Yu Yu, Tan Ke, and Xin sat on the second-floor stairs, chatting idly and watching the fierce battle for people below with amusement.

At this point, Yu Yu couldn't act as an intermediary for Zhang Yuan. However, after Yu Yu's guidance, Zhang Yuan had a general idea. His first target was Ma Xiaolong, whom he had just greeted, and Wang Yaoqing shared the same idea.

Even with only one dancer in his team, he was still a little uneasy; he could only feel at ease if he held both dancers tightly in his hands.

However, Ma Xiaolong's recruitment of He Zhancheng was not as smooth.

Although Ma Xiaolong had received hints from the production team beforehand, unlike He Zhancheng, he still had some choice. Therefore, when Wang Yaoqing approached him, he didn't talk about team atmosphere and relationships like he did with He Zhancheng at the beginning. Instead, he genuinely discussed his ideas for the upcoming stage performances with him.

However, he is not a musician by profession. His ideas sound good at first glance, but they are difficult to discuss in detail. They are too superficial and idealistic. On the other hand, Zhang Yuan, who has been performing on stage for more than ten years, can put many of his ideas into practice.

Given Ma Xiaolong's current status and reputation in the industry, and having often designed stages for Piccolo, he doesn't need to treat Piccolo as a stepping stone to cling to when he is a participant himself. He focuses more on stage effects and quality, and taking responsibility for the stage and dedicating himself to his dreams is in his nature as an artist.

Therefore, after comparing all the options, he chose Zhang Yuan.

Seeing Zhang Yuan excitedly waving at her again with a monkey-like roar, Yu Yu waved back, a smile creeping onto her lips. She watched as he led his teammates with great pride towards their next target, Xu Liang.

Meanwhile, Chen Chusheng, Wang Yuexin, and Yu Haoming, who were busy supporting their new teammates below, naturally heard Zhang Yuan's exaggerated cheers. Seeing his jubilant appearance, they knew that their brother, who was focused on singing and dancing, should be able to achieve his goal, and they couldn't help but be happy for him.

However, the first thing he did after bringing Ma Xiaolong in was to look up and find Yu Yu to celebrate together, which makes it seem like Yu Yu is also playing a very important role in it.

Wang Yuexin's eyes darted around. Based on his understanding of his brothers, he could roughly guess what had happened. He immediately pretended to be jealous and looked up at Yu Yu, shouting, "Hey, Xiaoyu, we were planning to save you one last time, but we didn't expect you to be secretly favoring Yuan Yuan. You're giving him advice to 'aid the enemy,' why aren't you thinking of any solutions for us?"

Isn't it a coincidence? Zhang Yuan thought he was favoring them, and now Wang Yuexin is saying he's favoring Zhang Yuan. They really are good brothers, their thoughts and ideas are almost the same.

Yu Yu leaned against the railing, spreading her hands with an innocent expression:

"I need an opportunity to give you advice, you know? Who told Brother Sheng to put the team badges on you two without saying a word and drag you inside? When I turned around, the three of you were gone, leaving Yuanyuan all alone looking pitiful. I had to keep him company. Besides, Brother Sheng doesn't seem to need me to use my brain, does he? He's always been decisive and already has his own goals. Look, he just put the team badges on Brother Guan and then ran off, didn't he?"

Chen Chusheng is not usually someone who likes to get into conflicts or compete with others (except for Zhao Hao). However, as the team leader, he has to do so. In some ways, he is similar to Yu Yu. Yu Yu did not want to be the team leader, but once he became the team leader, he had to do his best for the team and the stage.

Chen Chusheng was the same. He saw Lin Zhiying standing in front of Pin Guan saying something, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him. But Pin Guan was a member of his plan and he didn't want to give up. So he had to sneak up to Pin Guan and pat the team badge on his chest as if to say hello.

Pin Guan, who was talking to Lin Zhiying, was unaware of what Chen Chusheng had done. He thought that Chen Chusheng had just come over to chat, so he simply said "Hey" and indicated that they would talk later.

Standing on high ground, Yu Yu, who had a clear view of everything, couldn't help but chuckle. Wang Yuexin turned her head and saw Chen Chusheng's "disheveled" figure as he ran away after putting on the label, seemingly doing something prank. She also burst into laughter.

But he wasn't done yet. He was currently confronting Yu Yu, but then Chen Chusheng "hooked" his attention away again. He couldn't help but laugh and curse, "You're such a central air conditioner."

Yu Yu made a heart shape with her hands and winked: "I love you."

"Come on, come on," Wang Yuexin waved her hand, indicating that she would not be easily fooled by Yu Yu's sweet talk. "You love everyone."

“Wang Yuexin, let me tell you, you weren’t here just now so you don’t know, but he might not necessarily come back to your little team in the end.” Shell, not only watching the show from the sidelines, was also ready to add fuel to the fire and sow discord, “You’re all eagerly saving a spot for him, but he might end up going to Zhang Yuan’s team in the end.”

Since he's definitely going to Zhang Yuan's team, if we can take this opportunity to cause trouble and drag Yu Yu over as well, then we'll have struck gold.

Yu Yu knew that Tan Kai's sudden outburst wasn't just due to a morbid sense of humor, so he quickly and exaggeratedly stretched out his hand for a comedic effect: "No, no, Yuexin, let me explain—"

Wang Yuexin, with a straight face, pointed to her eyes with her index and middle fingers, then pointed to Yu Yu, indicating that he was staring at this "heartless man." She then turned around and burst into laughter, going to Chen Chusheng and Yu Haoming's side.

"Why are you laughing so happily?" Yu Haoming asked, puzzled, looking at his smiling eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm happy to be in your group." Wang Yuexin didn't tell them that he had just asked Yu Yu to confirm whether she would stay or leave, because it wasn't important. Based on his understanding of Yu Yu, he already knew the answer. If Yu Yu really changed her mind and wanted to go to Zhang Yuan's team, she definitely wouldn't have reacted like she did just now.

"I guess the fish did something again." Chen Chusheng glanced at Yu Yu waving at them, not finding it strange at all.

Victor Wong ultimately chose Chen Chusheng over Lin Zhiying. Now, Chen Chusheng's team only needs one spot to debut, and he already has a target in mind.

He and three teammates approached Li Jiuzhe.

Currently, a five-person team consisting of Hu Yanbin, Wang Yaoqing, and Zhang Yuan has been formed, and there is only one remaining opportunity to form a team.

Ma Boqian originally thought that his team could be formed quickly. It was supposed to be the original cast of "Up and Down the Mountain". They only needed to bring in any two of Su Xiaoding, Tang Yuzhe, and Li Jiuzhe to successfully form a team. The last person would be ready to join the team in the final round.

Unexpectedly, Li Jiuzhe didn't understand the game rules and got distracted by the team captains chatting, forgetting the time and hesitating to make a decision. When Ma Boqian's uncle and the others saw this, they assumed he wasn't going to be on their team anymore and surrounded him.

Unfortunately, Tang Yuzhe was now being targeted by Lin Zhiying, who hadn't yet won over Li Jiuzhe. When Ma Boqian saw that both of his chosen teammates were being targeted, he immediately ran in front of Tang Yuzhe to calm him down.

For a time, the Ma Boqian team, which should have been the most likely to be formed, failed to be formed. Tang Yuzhe was finally stabilized, but Li Jiuzhe was still hesitant. The fourth team has not yet been formed. All decisions seem to be in the hands of Li Jiuzhe alone.

Not good at refusing people and not wanting to hurt others, Li Jiuzhe chose the most primitive method of "flipping a coin," tossing all the team badges in his hand to see which team's badge would land on top.

As if it were destiny, Chen Chusheng's team logo was on top, and Chen Chusheng's team narrowly made it into the group at the last moment.

It was only then that Tang Yuzhe remembered that only five people were needed to form a group. He and Su Xiaoding could have joined first to secure a spot and found Qi Sijun for the ribbon-cutting ceremony! But because they went down a dead end, the group disbanded...

Lin Zhiying, whose team also disbanded because they couldn't gather all five members in time, was also somewhat amused and frustrated. They had been so focused on Li Jiuzhe that they didn't look for anyone else and thus disbanded regrettably.

However, the production team must be even more bewildered. They never expected Lin Zhiying's team to disband. She was their originally chosen X-Leader! How could she not have a team after the second performance?!

However, with the rules already in place and the basic structure of the four teams finalized, there's no way to make up for it in the second round. They can only try to figure out how to deal with it in the third round.

The group that failed to form teams stayed in the hall with Yu Yu and the other two, waiting for the four teams in the group meeting room to determine their team formations before the final team formation would begin.

The four teams selected the number of players for each team based on their current firepower ranking. Wang Yaoqing, Hu Yanbin, and Chen Chusheng formed an eight-player team, while Zhang Yuan formed a seven-player team.

Yu Yu never expected that Guan Zhibin would still be retained after all the twists and turns. Earlier, during the first stage of team selection, when Yu Yu went to advise Zhang Yuan, Lin Zhiying approached him. How could Guan Zhibin refuse his invitation? So he joined Lin Zhiying's team. Who would have thought that Lin Zhiying's team would fail to form a team in the second stage?

Yu Yu patted him on the shoulder to reassure him. With his performance in the first public performance, it was impossible for no team to take him in. Both of them would find a place.

However, Yu Yu did not expect that four team leaders would appear in front of her during the final team formation stage.

Needless to say, Chen Chusheng reserved a position for Yu Yu from the very beginning. After Zhang Yuan successfully took the position of Captain Zhang with Yu Yu's guidance, he was single-mindedly trying to poach Chen Chusheng, Wang Yuexin, and Yu Haoming.

As for Wang Yaoqing and Hu Yanbin, perhaps it was because Yu Yu took the initiative to leave the 0705 group and form his own team during the first public performance that they thought his relationship with Chen Chusheng and the others was not "unbreakable," and that there was still a possibility that Yu Yu would go to other teams. Therefore, even though they knew that Yu Yu might be waiting for Chen Chusheng, they still wanted to give it a try.

The ambitious Wang Yaoqing was well aware of what kind of talent his team was currently lacking. Even though his team was completely outmatched by Yu Yu's "Suspended Drowning" in the first public performance, he didn't mind extending an olive branch to Yu Yu.

Once he becomes a member of his team, wouldn't he be in charge of everything? Besides, Yu Yu's addition will definitely make He Zhancheng very happy, so why not?

Putting aside the external factor that Yu Yu himself is ranked in the top ten in the kilometer, Hu Yanbin purely appreciates Yu Yu's talent. Even if he is ranked in the bottom ten, he is willing to break his previous declaration of only accepting people with high firepower for the sake of his talent.

Joking aside, he'd be willing to do it just for Yu Yu's face! Principal Hu, who is dedicated to giving every handsome man in "The Brothers 3" a home, is already showing signs of being a sucker for good looks.

"Thank you all so much for recognizing my abilities. To be honest, I didn't think so much at first, and I never expected things to turn out this way." Despite being surrounded by the four captains and their team members, Yu Yu remained humble and proper, her gentle smile impeccable.

"But precisely because I never thought that much about it, my choice was predetermined from the beginning, so I have to apologize to everyone." Yu Yu took the purple team badge handed to her by Chen Chusheng from the crowd and stuck it on her chest. She then winked at Zhang Yuan, "Sorry, Brother Yuan, I'll apologize to you privately after the broadcast."

"You even contacted me privately? Do you think I'm so easily dismissed?" Zhang Yuan said arrogantly.

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Yu Yu made an OK sign.

Zhang Yuan understood, and happily left to find the others.

What else could it be? A song Query wrote for Bird.

Soon, the four teams completed their formations, and the final results were as follows:

Chen Chusheng, Yu Yu, Yu Haoming, Wang Yuexin, Huang Pinguan, Li Jiuzhe, Dong Baoshi, Su Xiaoding.

Zhang Yuan, Cai Guoqin, Luo Jiefu, Ma Xiaolong, Xu Liang, Dan Ke, and Shouzi.

Wang Yaoqing, He Zhancheng, Zhang Dongliang, Wei Zheming, Lan Zhenglong, Apu, Xin, Ma Boqian.

Hu Yanbin, Bo Yuan, Lu Yi, Wei Xun, Hu Bin, Lin Zhiying, Guan Zhibin, Tang Yuzhe.
