How to become an ACE of a top boy group

After the recording of the qualification selection is completed, the trainees have three days of rest, which is said to be used for editing and post-production, as well as variety show recording for some of them. They need to gather at the training building on the evening of July 3rd to start the next recording.

For Rosie, these three days were a time to quickly accumulate dance attribute points and familiarize herself with the new missions.

After leaving the recording building, Luo Xi went back to her dormitory to remove her makeup and wash up. She found the dormitory empty, but the clothes and other belongings that had been left lying around were still there.

She immediately took the opportunity to sleep for a long time, sleeping straight until 11 p.m., and didn't see anyone come back.

Luo Xi originally wanted to have dinner with Tan Zenian, but when he got to his bed, he found that it had already been cleaned up. He must have packed up his things after the qualification evaluation and hadn't planned to come back.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that apart from Chen Zui and KK who were there for the show's recording, everyone else in the dormitory had already made their beds.

"They're walking pretty fast..." Luo Xi said after standing there for a while.

"They left very cleanly," 041 added.

Despite the unpleasant experience, looking at the empty bed frame, Luo Xi still felt a pang of emotion. It was hard not to put herself in her shoes. If she had failed, would she have quietly dragged her suitcase full of things away, heartbroken and dejected...? No, wait, she should have failed the mission and been completely wiped out.

Lost in thought, Luo Xi turned on her phone and logged into her Weibo account, which she hadn't used in a long time due to practice. She first followed the official Weibo account of "My Favorite Treasure 101," but there wasn't much posted there, and the account only had a few hundred thousand followers.

I followed the popular trainees' accounts again. The one with the most followers was Gu Minxing with 136 million followers, followed by Qin Feng, the second-generation star whose parents are singers, with 93 followers, and Ye Zhixi, a child star, with 90 followers... Even Liu Jibai had 12 followers.

Her own fans remained the same two; her previous videos received no comments, no more likes, and the number of views also decreased...

"Wait, the number of views has increased! This video used to have 15 views, now it has 139, right?"

"That's a small increase," Luo Xi said with satisfaction. "A million followers is just around the corner."

【Luo Xi, look here, you still have one unread private message!】

"This should be a system message. It keeps telling me to subscribe to a membership." Luo Xi said, clicking on it, only to see a message from an unfamiliar account that read: "Why haven't you updated lately? Is there nothing to update, so you haven't updated?" [Smiling][Smiling]

"Oh my god, is this a way of urging me to make more practice videos?! Baby, I'll go record some for you right now!" Luo Xi jumped up from her chair excitedly, ready to go down to the large classroom to record the practice video, but suddenly she realized her blind spot, "Hey, this person isn't even following me!"

[And, Luo Xi, have you forgotten? You recorded a lot of practice videos and set them to be sent on a schedule, and you kept doing so until August without interruption.]

"Yeah, who is this person?" Luo Xi clicked on the homepage of this person named "Love on 0421" with a lot of doubts and began to investigate. But it turned out that there was no need to investigate at all. The top of her page was an unboxing video of the album "Drunken Love" - ​​she was a fan of Chen Zui, and 0421 was Chen Zui's birthday and also the release date of "Drunken Love".

"I give up."

Luo Xi immediately blocked the account, then thought for a moment and unblocked it again, sending over the high-definition video of Chen Zui going to the nightclub along with the solid audio recording, before blocking it again.

After calming down, Luo Xi posted a new update for her two followers.

@Luo Enxi who chases dreams:

How was your evening? My qualification evaluation is over for today. I slept until late, I'm so tired. I hope I get good results and can see you all on TV~~ Love you all!

Luo Xi attached two selfies and a picture of the night view outside. Heaven knows how many angles she tried to take these two selfies to make her otherwise ordinary face look somewhat presentable.

"Ah, charm, you really can't do without charm." Luo Xi muttered to herself as she clicked send, then laughed when she saw her only two followers. "'Don't know what to call 001', 'Whatever, it's just 2 anyway', I'll definitely work hard, improve my dance points, and improve my charm points, so you can see a better me!"

Watching from the side, 041 felt inexplicably sad and decided to secretly register two more accounts to give Luo Xi more views and likes to encourage her.

Luo Xi managed to adjust her mindset during the three-day break. Every day, she would complete creative tasks, practice basic tasks for two hours, then work on advanced tasks. In the evenings, she would go downstairs and run for an hour around the outskirts of the unnamed botanical garden. This way, Luo Xi could maintain a daily score of 430 points.

On the second night of his night run, as Luo Xi finished his workout and approached the training building, he saw a white-haired boy struggling to drag his luggage.

He carried a suitcase and three large travel bags filled to the brim. Because he couldn't lift them, he used a wheeled suitcase to carry the travel bags one by one to the elevator. However, probably because the bags were too heavy, it was still very strenuous to carry them, and his movements were weak and listless.

From a distance, it looks like a little cat wearing a gray hoodie slowly moving on a huge piece of luggage.

"Do you need help?" Luo Xi stepped forward to help him hold the suitcase and pushed it towards him.

"What do you think?!" Song Chuchu said breathlessly, his expression speechless. It might seem rude to a person, but his big, round, watery blue eyes and his slightly curly silver hair really looked just like a Ragdoll cat. Even his unreasonable act of crossing his arms and staring at her made Luo Xi unable to get angry.

"If you're tired, take a rest. I'll help you push it over."

With these words, Song Chuchu really didn't do anything at all, just watched Luo Xi's work from the side until everything was transported into the elevator. Song Chuchu pressed the button for the 20th floor, and the two of them took the elevator up.

Luo Xi's dormitory was on the 7th floor. She arrived and was about to leave when Song Chuchu grabbed her clothes before she even stepped out of the elevator. "Hey, where are you going! At least carry my luggage to my room before you leave! I didn't even complain that you were late!"

The elevator doors closed again, and it ascended to the 20th floor.

"Late?" Luo Xi felt that he had finally grasped the odd thing about their communication.

"Weren't we supposed to arrive late? We agreed on nine o'clock, and it's already..." Song Chuchu started to speak, but then she realized something was wrong and pointed at Luo Xi uncertainly, asking, "You, aren't a staff member?"

"No, I just happened to be passing by. I said from the beginning that I was here to help out."

"!" He stared wide-eyed, like a cat with its fur standing on end. "You're a trainee? So... ordinary? Are there trainees like this?"

"Huh?" Even a cat like Rosie got angry. "And I just helped you with your luggage! How can you talk to me like that?"

"No, what I mean is, ah—" He couldn't finish his sentence, scratching his hair haphazardly, his face gradually turning red. Just as Luo Xi was watching with great interest to see what he wanted to do, the elevator doors opened, and Song Chuchu grabbed her suitcase and rushed out, running away.

She simply tossed those three large travel bags into the elevator, looking quite fresh and clean.

Many casual viewers were attracted by the trainees' looks or the content, and went to the official website to reserve tickets for the show, quickly exceeding one million reservations.
