How to become an ACE of a top boy group

I accumulated 1340 points in three days of practice, which, combined with my original 918 points, brings my total to 2258. I converted these points into attribute points and added them to my dance skill, which has now increased to 41.

To be honest, Luo Xi could really feel the changes after the attribute points increased. It became easier to perform the desired movements when dancing, and the dance moves in the mirror were visibly less mechanical and stiff, starting to have some of their own style. The proficiency also increased faster, and the mastery level no longer required a long time of grinding.

"Truly... technology changes lives," Rosie commented.

At 6 PM on July 3rd, 101 trainees who had received the notification gathered in the training building in batches. The production team required everyone to pack their luggage in advance and put it in the luggage storage area on the first floor. Dormitories were to be reassigned, and all electronic devices were to be handed in.

When Luo Xi was notified that she could enter the first floor for filming, she was already among the last group. She and the other trainees dragged their luggage to the front desk and opened it, allowing the staff to check each piece of luggage for filming.

Once filming begins, this location will be under closed management. Except for rest days, trainees must follow the schedule arranged by the production team. In particular, they are prohibited from releasing any information related to the program to the outside world. Trainees themselves must also stop posting on social media and abide by the confidentiality agreement.

"Xiao Chen!"

While waiting for his inspection, Luo Xi was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face in the corner and quickly went over to take a picture of him.

"Wow!" Xiao Chen had just finished pulling a suitcase when Luo Xi patted him, startling him. But he still stood up and asked politely, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with your luggage?"

"I am Luo Enxi!"

"Luo Enxi! Ah—I can never quite remember what you look like!" After recognizing her, Xiao Chen's surprised expression quickly turned into a smile. "Congratulations on passing the selection!"

Luo Xi said happily, "It's all because you helped me make that call!"

Xiao Chen laughed too: "Being able to come back is your own achievement, and you really passed the selection, amazing!"

"If it weren't for your call, would I have had a chance to come back?" Luo Xi picked up her phone and opened a food delivery app. "Have you eaten yet? How about I treat you to dinner? Or order you some late-night snacks or something... Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

While pretending to order on his phone, Luo Xi mentally cried out to 041, "041! Can I take back the thousand yuan reward I received and save it in my phone? Oh no, I found I don't have a single penny in my phone!"

[Yes, since it's a system reward and hasn't been used, you can just change the value in 041.]

041 thoughtfully corrected the values ​​for Rosie immediately.

"Oh, no need, really no need!" Xiao Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I have a lot of work to do later and don't have time to eat now. I also have a work meal, which I will eat with the other staff later. I'm very happy that you can come to record the show. You've worked hard too, so please get some rest."

"Let's add a number then, and eat here next time."

Unable to refuse, Xiao Chen and Luo Xi exchanged numbers.

After Luo Xi finished checking her luggage, Xiao Chen also had work to do. The two could only exchange a few words before they had to go about their own business. Before leaving, Xiao Chen gave Luo Xi a fist pump to cheer her on.

Rosila walked through the checked suitcase and received a square envelope from a staff member.

It was an elegantly printed black envelope, sealed with a red wax seal featuring a floral and bird pattern. Inside, there was a report card, a dormitory access card, and a similarly printed black card with the following words written in silver lettering:

Invitation card

Invitation: Mr. Ronxi

Head to seat number 100 at Azalea Manor

The 101 people were divided into groups A, B, C, D, and E according to their scores: Group A had 4 people, Group B had 10 people, Group C had 21 people, Group D had 25 people, and Group E had 40 people.

Group A has single rooms, Group B has double rooms, Group C has triple rooms, Group D has 5-person rooms, and Group E has 10-person rooms.

There is no doubt that Rosie, who was placed last in the group, is a member of Group E.

Although Luo Xi already knew her ranking, she still cooperated by showing a surprised reaction in front of the camera. However, she clearly lacked acting skills, and her surprised reaction was not as surprising as when she first saw an acquaintance.

After receiving their dormitory access cards, Luo Xi and the other trainees dragged their suitcases and took the elevator to the floor where Group E's dormitory was located.

The whole process felt like being surrounded by cameras. There were cameras everywhere, and you could see their red lights from any corner. There were more than twice as many cameras as during the previous three months of practice.

The door to the new dormitory was open, and Luo Xi could hear a commotion before she even went inside. Her new roommates had already arrived and were unpacking their luggage.

The layout of the dormitory is the same as the previous ten-person dormitory. Even if ten people live there, there is still plenty of space and it does not feel cramped.

Moreover, the atmosphere in this dormitory is noticeably better. I don't know if it's because the show has officially started filming now, but everyone is very enthusiastic. When you greet someone, you get a response. Her roommate on the lower bunk even told her that if she couldn't get used to the upper bunk, she could switch with him.

"Okay, it looks like everyone's here. Let's introduce ourselves. After all, we've all been assigned to the same place, so meeting here is fate," a tall boy leaned against the bed frame and said casually to everyone. "My name is Le Jing, I'm from STARDUST, I'm 23 years old, and I'm the trainee who hasn't had a chance to debut in ten years. I'm probably the oldest, so I'll do my best to be a good older brother and take care of everyone! You can tell me anything!"

Upon hearing "ten-year trainee," Luo Xi immediately looked over and indeed it was the male model with exceptional singing skills whom she had seen during rehearsals.

He was actually assigned to Group E?

"Hello, Brother Lejing! My name is Song Wenchen, from BOB." Song Wenchen, Luo Xi's bunkmate, started the conversation, and everyone followed suit, introducing themselves one by one.

"Hello everyone, my name is Luo Enxi!" "Ning Xiangqi, Ning Xiangqi! It's an honor to be grouped with you all!" "Wang Xiao." "My name is Jin Baiyou, his name is Milo, and his name is Xu Shengqian." "My name is Ken, hello Le Jing!" "...Tian Jizhang."

"Hello, hello!" Le Jing said warmly. "Just call me Brother Hua. Le Jing is my stage name. My real name is Hua Le. The younger guys at the company all call me Brother Hua when we practice together. The company said my name was too old-fashioned, so they changed it to Le Jing. But everyone still calls me Brother Hua. We're used to it."

Ning Xiangqi, perhaps having known Le Jing before, bluntly voiced his question: "Hey, Brother Hua, how come you were assigned to Group E? You're so strong, I remember your group was all in Group B, how come you're the only one left out?"

"I caught a cold on the day of the qualifying round, so I didn't sing well and almost failed. I even dragged down our group's score. Oh well, I'm so grateful to be in Group E now."

"What?" Song Wenchen looked surprised. "You suddenly caught a cold that day?"

"Yeah, I suddenly got a fever and started sneezing the night before the competition. My throat swelled up and I couldn't make a sound at all... I really don't know why I'm always so unlucky."

“Speaking of which, can I ask a question? I’m a little curious,” a slow voice came from the outermost bed. Wang Xiao, who had already made his bed and was curled up under the covers, poked his head out and asked, “Brother Enxi, I heard that your *wrist was disqualified from the competition. Is that true?”

Song Wenchen looked surprised again: "What? Is that really true? I thought it was just a made-up horror rumor!"

"Really? I heard someone got disqualified and that was it, but I don't know who it was. Is it really you?" Ning Xiangqi jumped out of bed and leaned under Luo Xi's bed frame, staring intently at Luo Xi's wrist. "Brother, tell me, I'm really curious! What happened back then?"

Suddenly, all eyes in the dormitory were on Luo Xi.

That's how Stand users are; all Ronshi needs to do is wipe his wrist, and Ronshi will have a lot to explain.

Although the incident alarmed some people when it happened, the public relations team handled it very well. As a result, the details became increasingly distorted and based on hearsay. Very few people actually knew the truth; most of them only knew that the incident happened but did not know who was involved.

Luo Xi sighed and deliberately showed the scars on his wrist.

“I was naive back then and believed everything people said. I also loved being online, and my friends encouraged me to post all the gossip they were having online, so I did. Then a lot of people started following me, and my follower count increased dramatically. It was the first time I'd ever had so many followers. But if I didn't post negative stories, I would lose followers. My vanity got the better of me, so I kept collecting and posting negative stories. I know it's wrong, but I couldn't stop. I... I really didn't want to lose followers. It was the first time so many people had paid attention to me…”

“I understand that feeling,” said Tian Jizhang, who had been silent all along.

"Looking back now, I was so stupid. So it was my own fault that I was kicked out of the competition for spreading rumors. At the time, I just felt so unwilling. I really wanted to be recognized by many people on this show. I really regret it. I really didn't want to quit the competition. I really didn't want to give up my dream... I practiced for a very, very long time to debut, but in an instant, this opportunity was shattered. I was really unwilling... So, I thought I might as well just do it. In a moment of impulse, I did it... It hurt a lot. Although it was just one place, I don't know why my whole body hurt... I only felt scared when I saw the blood. I regretted it so much. What was I doing? Why did I treat my life so easily?"

“I was so extreme, I almost didn’t wake up! I’m still scared when I think about it now, and I still have nightmares sometimes… Being saved and given another chance to return to the stage by the production team feels like a rebirth from the brink of death, like a dream! I want to get rid of that careless, frivolous, and lazy version of myself. I want to cherish this chance to be reborn with hard work and give it my all, whether I succeed or fail, and run towards my dream with all my might…”

As Luo Xi spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her roommates also became serious. Le Jing, who was more sentimental, walked over to Luo Xi with a look of sympathy and patted her on the shoulder to encourage her.

【Luo Xi, your acting is really good now!】041. Praising without saying anything.

"That's not acting," Rosie wiped away a half-tear from the corner of her eye, "that's genuine emotion!"
