How to become an ACE of a top boy group

After two days of intense dance practice, averaging five choreography mastery tasks per day, Luo Xi's dance attribute finally improved, increasing by two points. Currently, her dance attribute has reached 23 points, and her score is 3468.

What surprised Luo Xi even more was that she posted her practice videos on her Weibo account, and yesterday a like appeared out of nowhere. Although the account that liked the video wasn't her follower, it still made her happy for an entire afternoon.

As for the injury on her wrist, 041 didn't get a response to the message she sent to the staff, so Luo Xi forgot about looking for painkillers. She just endured the pain when it came, and she almost got used to it. When she was focused on practicing, she would forget about the injury on her hand, so she kept putting off going to the infirmary.

This morning, the pain was really bad, and after 041's persuasion, Luo Xi finally came.

The clinic is located in the east wing on the first floor. It's not very big, and you can see the doctor on duty as soon as you go in.

"Are you here for a checkup? Please sit down." The female doctor, wearing a white coat and a medical mask, spoke with the warmth characteristic of middle-aged women, "What's your name? What's wrong?"

"My name is Luo Enxi. This is the wound on my wrist. I cut it before and it hasn't healed yet. It suddenly hurts a lot today."

"Oh, you must be Luo Enxi. Why are you only arriving now?" The doctor said knowingly when Luo Enxi mentioned her name. "You've been discharged, but your wound hasn't healed yet despite being stitched up. Didn't they tell you to come in every day to check on the healing?"

【What? Nobody ever said that!】041 was screaming in Luo Xi's mind, but Luo Xi knew that even if someone did say it, she would probably find it too troublesome and ignore it unless it became serious.

Luo Xi said vaguely, "Ah... I was a bit busy after I got back and forgot."

"How could you forget? What if it gets inflamed and suppurates? You don't even care about your own health." The doctor pointed to the inner room of the examination room, separated by a frosted glass door in a white wall. "Go sit inside first, I'll go prepare the dressing change tools."

Luo Xi and 041 went inside. It was a semi-circular room. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the east side was a green lawn. There were several tables and chairs on one wall and three white hospital beds on the other side.

One of the beds had a person lying flat on it.

He lay casually on the white bed with his eyes closed, a position that revealed his tall figure beneath his beige clothes. He had broad shoulders, a slender waist, and well-proportioned thighs, like a sculpture meticulously sculpted by an artist. His face was particularly exquisite, with eyebrows, eyes, nose, and lips that were as dazzling as blooming flowers. He was beautiful and radiant, yet not gaudy, just right, leaving people in awe.

This glamorous industry is full of handsome men and beautiful women, and Luo Xi has long been numb to it. In addition, she is a female idol who strictly abides by the rule of not dating, so her immunity to male idols is no joke. No matter how good-looking they are, they never stirred any waves in her heart.

However, the face of the person in front of her was so beautiful that even Luo Xi had to admit it was handsome; it was so beautiful that even if she deliberately nitpicked from a terrible angle, she couldn't find any fault with it.

A sense of crisis rose within Luo Xi: "He looks like that and he's still competing? This is cheating! He can debut without doing anything, it's so unfair!!"

"We have attribute points! As long as you can surpass him in charm, Luo Xi, you'll be even more attractive than him. Isn't that what character development is all about? Meeting someone truly skilled and then surpassing them is what gives you a sense of accomplishment!" 041 showed Luo Xi the search results: "This person's name is Li Longxuan. He used to be a student at the China Conservatory of Music, but he dropped out. He only has international awards in violin, no trainee experience. He might just be good-looking; his skills might not even be as good as ours!"

Luo Xi had heard of Lee Yong-hyun before. He was a trainee from Mo-il Entertainment, famous for his looks. He was so good-looking that he passed the audition after only three days as a trainee.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not envious; God has been too good to him."

Luo Xi sat down in a chair and suddenly remembered what Tan Nianze had said that day.

Is this what it means to be a talented person? How can you not feel disappointed? This innate difference is like God telling you that your fate is already sealed.

A short while later, the doctor pushed in a dressing cart.

She removed the gauze from Luo Xi's wrist and examined the wound. "It's infected now. Look, it was almost healed, but you didn't take care to protect the wound, and now it's inflamed again. Why didn't you come sooner? Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Luo Xi listened carefully to the doctor's criticism and reflected on her failure to seek medical attention in a timely manner.

After changing the dressing for Luo Xi, the doctor told her, "You can't make any vigorous hand movements. Your movements will pull on the wound, making it prone to inflammation and difficult to promote healing. If it becomes infected, it will be even more troublesome."

"Doctor, when will I get better? I still want to practice dancing."

"It depends on the situation. It should take three or four days. Remember to come here every day to change the dressing."

"Okay, I will. Thank you. I'll be going now."

Luo Xi stood up, and the doctor gave her some more instructions.

"Could you please keep it down? It's so noisy."

Lee Yong-hyun propped himself up, still sleepy-eyed. When Luo Xi looked over, he was glowing in the morning light, his beauty seemingly melting into the light, which added a sense of holiness, making people ignore his words and just focus on him.

"You're slacking off here. People are getting proper treatment, what are you complaining about? If you have nothing to do, get up and do what you're supposed to do," the doctor said coldly, without any politeness.

"Oh no. I'm still a little dizzy, dizzy, I think I have low blood sugar, I'm feeling like this today..."

Lee Yong-hyun fell back onto the bed, rolled over, hugged his pillow, buried his head in it, and mumbled incoherently.

The doctor, unfazed, rubbed his forehead for a moment, then turned to Luo Xi and told him to ignore him.

Luo Xi smiled politely, thanked the doctor again, and left.

She had already been discussing it with 041 in her heart for a while.

"Wow, why is he slacking off here? Is he really planning to pass the qualification exam just by relying on his looks? And he seems to know the doctors here quite well. Is there some kind of scandal going on?"

[To treat something lightly simply because one has an advantage is unacceptable. As a character development system, 041 strongly opposes such behavior!]

"Hmm..." Luo Xi thought of Tan Nianze again.

Standing in front of the elevator, waiting for it to descend, Luo Xi seemed to be saying to 041, or perhaps to himself, "How should I put it? It seems to be the law of the world that once you gain something, you also lose something else. People who are already in a disadvantaged position will only truly fail to see their own wealth if they wallow in self-pity."

Although Rosie also dislikes people who are talented but don't work hard, there are so many competitors, if not him, then someone else would.

Rosie remained anxious, hoping to act more quickly and do more to bridge the gap.

That day, Luo Xi continued practicing dance in the large classroom. Because she couldn't move her hands vigorously, her movements were very limited, and because she hadn't reached the standard movements, her proficiency was increasing very slowly. She only managed to reach 76% proficiency with one choreography after a whole day, without completing a single task.

"This isn't going to be good."

"How about we practice singing to accumulate points first, and then exchange them for dance attribute points?" 041 suggested.

It can only be this way.

The next day, Luo Xi changed her medication and switched to vocal lessons.

Today's vocal lesson was about a rather challenging song. The song is called "Like Water's Intent," a recently released and very popular ballad with complex vocal runs and high notes. The teacher's goal was to have the students review the techniques for high notes and vocal runs.

"Relax your vocal cords. I've said this before. First, find your pronunciation. Open your vocal cords and pronounce the 'i' sound, i—"

"Use your abdomen to produce sound, use your abdomen to produce sound, use the dantian (lower abdomen) for sound production, pay attention to the location of the sound."

Everyone else performed very well, just like in a dance class, while Rosie became the worst student again, the one who was tone-deaf.

Singing, like dancing, has a proficiency level. Before reaching that level, she couldn't sing the whole song smoothly. Every word she sang was off-key, so much so that the teacher was surprised and asked Luo Xi the fatal question, "How did you get in here?"

Luo Xi could only say that she was in the dance track and had never been very good at singing. Fortunately, the teacher was not impatient or gave her a cold shoulder. Instead, the teacher encouraged her, taught her many tips, and helped her find the right pronunciation little by little.

Because there were so many people, the teacher couldn't provide guidance for long, so Luo Xi practiced on her own until she suddenly heard a system notification: "[Singing Attribute Points +1]".

"Huh? I got it before even completing the mission?"

[Because singing attribute points are lower than dancing, the probability of randomly gaining points during practice is higher.]

Regardless, improvement is good. Luo Xijia practiced diligently and repeatedly, and actually managed to reach 100% proficiency in this slightly difficult song, singing the notes accurately and without going off-key.

[Mastering one song has been completed, earning 50 points.] 041 At Luo Xi's request, the total points were added, [Current total points: 3518.]
