How to become an ACE of a top boy group

The day after the recommender sent the letter for filming, Luo Xi got up early, got ready, and prepared to go out for practice. When she opened the door, she saw a black paper bag with the program's logo on it hanging on the doorknob of her dormitory. Inside were two task cards for the next task.

Luo Xi picked up a card and looked at it. The front read: This round's mission is a positioning duel.

Based on the tracks chosen by the trainees, they were divided into singing, dancing, and rap categories.

Trainees with the same skill level will be randomly divided into teams of 5. Singing will be divided into 4 teams, dancing into 4 teams, and rap into 3 teams. Teams with the same skill level will compete against each other to determine who gets 35% of the individual points in the second round of elimination.

Note: The second round of eliminations accounts for 35% of the individual score, including 20% ​​of the score for the best group and 15% of the score for the best individual, as voted by the judges.

The back reads: Please proceed to Practice Room 3, 14th Floor, Practice Building

Luo Xi quickly looked at another one, which also read, "Please proceed to Practice Room 3 on the 14th floor of the Practice Building."

"Brother Wen Chen! It seems we're in the same group this time!" Luo Xi shouted excitedly into the house.

"What? A new mission?"

"Yes, the task cards have been issued, and the locations on both task cards are the same!" Luo Xi said, handing the task card to Song Wenchen, who was brushing her teeth at the sink.

Song Wenchen took the card, looked through the rules, and compared the two cards. He said, "It really is the same location! That's great! This time I don't have to worry about feeling awkward when getting along with people I don't know!"

“Oh, it’s five people per team, there are other teams too.” Song Wenchen saw the sentence ‘randomly formed 5-person teams’. “I wonder who our teammates are. I hope we can run into Brother Hua.”

“I hope so too,” Rosie said. “Let’s go to the practice room once we’re all ready.”

"Okay, I'm almost done. I've washed my face and I'll put on some makeup next." Song Wenchen said, drying her face with a towel. "You should put on some makeup too, we're about to record."

"Yes."

Luo Xi always goes to practice without makeup, and before she knew it, the task was being assigned and recording had started, requiring her to face the camera. That means she has to be careful about her appearance.

Since she was going to the practice room, Luo Xi simply used foundation and BB cream to conceal her blemishes, covered her dark circles, and applied nude lipstick to make herself look clean and natural.

Partly due to limitations in her charm attributes, she doesn't really understand her own facial structure, and sometimes she doesn't know where to start when it comes to makeup. She genuinely admires the makeup artist who did her stage makeup for "May You Be Well," who managed to create a three-dimensional effect on her otherwise flat, blank face.

Her current 23 charm points only make her look like an ordinary person with a memorable feature. Looking in the mirror, Rosie cruelly gave her face a realistic assessment.

"My fans really spoil me so much, even though they all say I'm pretty, sob sob sob..." Luo Xi was moved again.

【No way, Luo Xi, you're just so charming!! It's not about your face, it's about your whole person! 041 won't allow you to belittle yourself!】041 flew up to Luo Xi and said solemnly.

Luo Xi hugged the system tightly, "Thank you 041, I'll definitely earn more points! I'll boost my charm!"

"Enxi, are you done?" Song Wenchen asked as he walked over.

"Okay, okay." Luo Xi quickly stood up to avoid being mistaken for someone hugging thin air.

Song Wenchen's makeup was clearly more effective than Luo Xi's. Although it was just light makeup, once it was applied, his ordinary face also presented a sense of refinement.

"Brother Wen Chen, I really think you're the kind of person whose looks grow on you." Luo Xi said as she and Song Wen Chen walked out the door. "Your features are actually quite well-proportioned."

"Haha, thank you~ I'm really happy to hear you're so sure!"

"And your makeup looks different, did you change your makeup technique?"

"Oh right! I forgot to tell you, I learned it from my makeup artist when I was doing stage makeup..."

The two chatted about makeup and soon arrived at the designated practice room for the mission.

There was no one in the practice room.

"It looks like we arrived first."

"Then let's do some practice on our own first." Luo Xi opened the system page and selected a one-hour basic dance practice task to start her daily points accumulation routine.

About half an hour later, a figure walked into the practice room.

"Number 3, this is it... It's taken, hello!" A trainee wearing a silver metal earring walked in. "We're all from practice room number 3, right?"

"Yes, yes! My name is Song Wenchen, and you must be Zhang Muze!"

"My name is Ronxi!"

Zhang Muze said with a smile, "They're all familiar faces, all familiar faces. I absolutely loved your 'Don't Stop' performance!"

Luo Xi and Song Wenchen naturally remembered that Zhang Muze was their opponent back then, and their expressions after losing were not friendly at all, so they couldn't guess the true meaning of Zhang Muze's words.

Luo Xi could only vaguely say, "Yes, they're all acquaintances. That's great. This collaboration will definitely go very well."

Zhang Muze looked left and right and said, "Huh, are there only the three of us?"

"It's only nine o'clock now, some people might not be fully awake yet, let's wait a bit longer."

"They can really sleep. I just went to visit the next roommate's group. They've all arrived and started choosing songs."

"Are they also dance majors? Who are they?" Song Wenchen asked.

“Of course, they’re right next door.” Zhang Muze, realizing they were on the same team, didn’t hide anything and started chatting with Song Wenchen, “My roommate is Chu Shi, and they have Qin Feng…”

Luo Xi ignored him and continued with his practice.

Almost another hour passed before another person arrived.

Song Chuchu walked in silently, wearing a fake two-piece long-sleeved shirt. She noticed that Luo Xi and the others were all wearing the sports uniforms provided by the program, and Song Chuchu suddenly felt a little out of place.

"Ahem." Song Chuchu coughed, pausing the lively conversation between Zhang Muze and Song Wenchen. Luo Xi also noticed him, stopped his creative work, and stood up.

Song Chuchu looked at the group and said, "Um, are we all here? If so, I'll talk about our song selections. I'm the team leader... I don't know why I'm the team leader, it's all random. If any of you want to be the team leader, you can be. Actually, I don't really want to be the team leader, but never mind... Anyway, we have three songs to choose from, and I personally—"

"Captain, we're not all here yet," Song Wenchen had to interrupt Song Chuchu's long-winded explanation. "We're still missing one person."

"What? We're still missing one person? What time is it?" Song Chuchu exclaimed, seemingly forgetting that she was also a late riser. "What's going on? This will make us start practicing later than the other teams, how are we supposed to win?! I'm going to find him!!"

The grumpy kitten stormed off, leaving Luo Xi and the other two standing there.

“I have a feeling of familiarity,” Rosie suddenly said.

"Ah!" Song Wenchen got her meaning. "You mean..."

Song Wenchen looked at Zhang Muze and asked, "Do you know what Li Longxuan's role is? Is it dance?"

"I think so. He's no good at singing or rapping, only barely acceptable in the dance category. I remember they even gave him special treatment... what happened?"
