How to become an ACE of a top boy group

There were several black garbage bags left at the dormitory entrance. Luo Xi glanced at them and swiped his access card to open the dormitory door.

Unexpectedly, after a beep, someone was already at the door and opened it first.

The newcomer had a handsome face, ranking among the best of the trainees Luo Xi had just seen. His black, tousled hair was dyed light gold at the ends, making his already sharp features even more striking. He was wearing a sleeveless vest, was tall, and had a smile on his lips, but as soon as he saw Luo Xi, he immediately turned his head and slammed the door back at Luo Xi's face.

Luo Xi used his hand to block the door from crashing in, feeling a surge of anger.

"Damn, he's so rude!"

041 Shared Hatred: [He's Chen Zui, always so arrogant and disrespectful! The system hates him too!]

"Chen Zui?" Luo Xi connected the face with the name. "Oh, it's him. Luo Enxi is the one who was disqualified after he exposed his dirty secrets, right?"

Rosie has all these memories.

Chen Zui is a hot favorite to debut in this talent show, and his number of fans is also among the top tier of trainees. Most of the people in his dormitory fawn over him, but Luo Enxi sticks with two other people in the dormitory who have little presence. The two groups seem to be from two different dorms, just putting on an act in front of the show's cameras.

After Ronxi's indiscriminate release of damaging information was exposed, the relationship between the two sides completely broke down. They even turned a blind eye when they discovered that Ronxi had collapsed on the ground.

Luo Xi didn't want to think about it anymore and dragged her suitcase into the dormitory.

The room is large, but also cluttered with things. There are five wooden bunk beds that are far apart, and the middle is filled with tables and chairs, large wardrobes, small wardrobes, clothes storage boxes, clothes racks, clothes lying around, shoe racks, and a full-length mirror.

Chen Zui was half-reclining on the sofa in the corner, his long legs propped up on the table, wearing headphones, his fingers flying across the tablet, completely absorbed.

"Is he skipping class to be lazy?"

[He's very close to qualifying and thinks he's a shoo-in, so he started slacking off the week before last. 041 opposes this behavior and curses him to never get on the show!]

"However, he seems quite capable, and he might not even care about such a small competition. We should be the ones who are worried."

Luo Xi chuckled to himself as he dragged his suitcase back to his bed, relying on his memory.

Her bed was already piled with other people's belongings.

She quickly took everything down, intending to put it all on the table, but the table was already filled with various household items, so she had to put the large bags on the floor for the time being.

After emptying the bed, Luo Xi opened her suitcase, laid out the mattress, put her toiletries in a place, removed the outer sheets from the quilt and pillowcases, and took them, along with Luo Xi's casual trousers and short-sleeved T-shirt, into the laundry room.

The dormitory has five private single bathrooms, three separate single toilets, and two washing machines that combine drying and washing functions.

Luo Xi put the laundry detergent and clothes in and set the timer.

While waiting for the laundry to be washed and dried, Luo Xi leaned against the tiled wall opposite the washing machine, carefully considering her future plans.

The ultimate mission in the world is to become the ace of a top boy band.

To complete it, you can break it down into three steps.

The first is debuting.

The goal is to participate in this talent show and secure a spot in the top five to debut as a boy group. This is the current system task.

The second is to become an ace.

What is ACE?

Singing should be on par with the lead vocalist, dancing should be on par with the dance leader, able to battle with the rapper, and able to compete with the visual center in terms of looks. The goal is to achieve all-round development, with one outstanding member and many strong members, serving as the absolute center of the team and the embodiment of the team's concept.

To put it simply, you need to maximize your attributes before the company defines your team's role, and also align with the team's concept to have a chance of becoming the ace. You need skill, but also a bit of luck; perhaps at this point, you really need to switch to a luck-boosting item.

Third, their boy band became top stars.

Every year, countless boy and girl groups debut in this world, making the competition extremely fierce. Although successful debuts are backed by professional entertainment companies, it is conceivable that there is still a long road ahead.

The tasks are interconnected, and every step must be successful without failure.

Therefore, Luo Xi's primary task now is to ensure a successful debut on the show.

She manipulated her consciousness and opened the taskbar.

There is only one task in the main taskbar.

Successfully passed the selection process and became one of the 101 participants.

Upon completion:

Each attribute point increases by 1.

3 points of free allocation attribute

1000 point

Random Mystery Items

Within its branches, there are three optional daily mini-tasks that can be repeated.

Mastering a choreography earns 50 points.

Mastering a song earns 50 points.

Win 50 points in a performance duel against other players.

In the process of completing these tasks, you will also receive a random increase in attribute points.

Under the other dark branch are some evil-related quests.

Dismissing a player: 5000 points

One blow to a player's confidence: 100 points

Posting negative information about an opponent earns 50 points.

……

Luo Xi clicked his tongue in astonishment, "With such a high score for doing bad things, isn't that just encouraging others to do bad things?"

In a results-oriented world, as long as the task is completed, there is no moral judgment. Persuading someone to withdraw from the competition results in a higher score because someone quits; a score of 5/300 becomes 5/299, increasing the chances of debuting while significantly increasing the difficulty. Successfully undermining an opponent's confidence can prevent them from focusing on training, thus reducing competition… these are all reasonable rewards!

"However, it's really tasteless to advise others to give up their dreams."

Rosie quickly scrolled down, skipping the extreme quest with the black branch, and saw a new white branch at the bottom of the questline.

*Charm value reaches 15

Reward: One additional attribute modifier

*Any of the following attributes—dance, singing, or rap—reach 30 points.

Unlock new attributes

"What new attributes will be unlocked? Can you give me a sneak peek?" Luo Xi asked curiously.

[041 doesn't know either. Rosie, you haven't activated it, and 041 doesn't have permission to access it, so I can't secretly reveal it. Based on experience, 041 speculates that the new attribute is a new skill, and the additional attribute modifiers are likely things that help increase attribute points.]

"Are all new attribute points allocated to any character?"

Yes! Well, well... isn't training all about starting from scratch?

"So, the original host's attribute points started at 0, and the current attribute points were accumulated gradually?"

[At first, there were only singing and dancing attributes. The singing attribute reached 10, unlocking the rap attribute, and then the dancing attribute reached 15, unlocking the charm attribute. The attribute points were earned little by little by the host, so it's very rewarding! Ronxi doesn't appreciate it at all!]

Luo Xi felt it necessary to say something fair: "Is it possible that he also had a difficult time?"

The qualifying rounds begin the Thursday after next. Today is Saturday, so there are only two weeks, or even less than two weeks, twelve days to be exact. She must beat 199 other people in twelve days to qualify for the recording of the show.

Based on her observations and comparisons just now, she had absolutely no chance of winning.

After much deliberation, Luo Xi finally decided to focus his twelve-day strategy on developing his dance attribute points.

She has 20 points in dance, making her the only one worth watching.

While the qualifying selection tests overall ability, it's divided into three tracks: rap, dance, and singing. Trainees can choose different tracks based on their self-assessment. The requirements for each track may have slightly different emphases; perhaps if her dance is outstanding enough, the teacher will let her pass.

Although it's a gamble, it's also the only way out.

"By the way, 041, has the account that posted negative information about Ronxi been banned?"

[Only one Weibo account with a large number of followers was banned; many other smaller accounts remain undetected.] 041 projected a touchable webpage onto Luo Xi's screen. [The host can connect to the internet through the system to continuously manage these accounts; increasing the number of followers will also increase points!]

"Still running those accounts! What kind of people are the followers of those accounts? They're just waiting for dirt to be spilled every day. It would be better to delete them all."

The production team does not prevent trainees from managing their own social media accounts, allowing them to post about their training life, shoot vlogs and practice videos, etc., so as to promote the show in the early stages. Once filming begins, they will strictly control their phones to maintain confidentiality.

However, Luo Enxi only posts negative information about other people. These are all kinds of exposés, such as disputes between so-and-so and their ex, or suspected debts in someone's family... He has the most followers on Weibo, around 3000, all of whom come to see the negative information. The comments are all arguments, and they are still going on now.

Following his memory, Luo Xi opened Luo Enxi's social media accounts one by one. He had opened almost every account he could, and even opened more than a dozen on one platform, and was stirring up trouble and spreading rumors everywhere.

Those who know him understand he's trying to build a points system; those who don't might think he's some kind of marketing account...

Luo Xi, acting as the account judge, deleted all the accounts one by one. 041 whispered a reminder: "Luo Xi, there are hidden points rewards for reaching a certain number of followers on social media platforms. Luo Xi has already received the points reward for reaching 100,000 followers across the entire network. If you delete them all, the next time you'll get those points, you'll need 105,000 followers! If you delete them now, you'll have to start building your follower count from scratch!"

Luo Xi rolled her eyes at 041: "Are you leaving it here to cause another explosion?!"

But there was one account she couldn't bring herself to target.

This account is completely clean, with only Luo Enxi occasionally posting practice videos, and two followers, which must be true fans.

Luo Xi couldn't bear to delete the two fans, so she kept the account and changed the name to "Luo Enxi, the Dream Chaser".

He then wrote a new signature with a flourish:

A trainee for two and a half years, and a contestant on "My Favorite Treasure 101".

I'm back from the dead, aiming to debut as an ace. Follow me to see my path to success. I'll be releasing two practice videos every week.

Just then, the dryer stopped running, and Luo Xi quickly packed the clean duvet covers and sheets, and put the clothes into her suitcase.

She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 5:30. In her memory, dance class ended at 6:00, so she could still catch the end of the class.
