How to become an ACE of a top boy group

"He was the one with the highest number of votes from the sidelines..."

"Lee Yong-hyun!"

In the pitch-black lower platform, Lee Yong-hyun, who had been dozing with his eyes slightly closed, opened them in surprise. A beam of light shone on his position, magnifying his perfectly aesthetically pleasing face and projecting it onto the giant screen above the stage, causing the audience to erupt in screams that seemed to reach the heavens once again.

That's why he was able to debut; his looks alone are enough to make people go crazy for him.

Lee Yong-hyun walked unhurriedly onto the main stage, to the side where Gu Minxing and Song Chuchu were. After accepting the trophy and microphone from the host, he said meaningfully, "Some people said I have talent in other areas, and it seems they were right. I hope the fans who voted for me will continue to be responsible for me. Although I hadn't thought about it before, after tonight I will seriously consider making idoling my career. Thank you."

has it ended?

Luo Xi felt a sudden dizziness.

Is her soul going to be taken back?

Luo Xi looked at Song Wenchen, then at Le Jing on the other side; they both buried their heads in the darkness.

Song Wenchen also failed. Should she go back to being a host? Even though she failed, I really hope they can succeed... Le Jing too, another failure will definitely be a blow to him. Liu Jibai, who was a few steps away from her, also cried. It's hard to imagine that he could actually cry.

Why is the road to success always so narrow?

[But the mission failure alarm didn't sound, Rosie! It's not over yet!] 041 said beside her.

"Oh, right."

She looked towards the main stage, where the host, Rong Tian, ​​smiled slightly and watched the crying trainees below the stage without saying a word. The noise from the audience grew even louder.

"But then I suddenly received some exciting new news."

After everyone had finished crying, the host finally continued, "The trainees' outstanding performances and their hard work in striving for debut have deeply moved everyone. Therefore, the program has decided to add 5 more debut spots! Our debut lineup will now consist of ten people!"

The news sparked a huge cheer from the audience, and the expressions of the trainees who did not make it into the debut group changed as they all looked up.

"Then, I will continue to announce the top ten in the public vote!" Rong Tian said, looking at the results in his hand, "The person who ranked sixth, receiving thirteen million votes and the sixth debut spot is..."

This sentence brought everyone back to the tense atmosphere.

"Liu Jibai!"

Liu Jibai wiped away his tears before the lights shone on him, faced the cameras projected onto the stage screen with a standard smile, and walked confidently up the steps. Guided by the host, he stood on An Kexin and Ming Ning's side.

"Congratulations on becoming the sixth member to debut. Please say something to the recommender."

Liu Jibai took the microphone and bowed formally to the camera and the audience. "Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I know that there may be many people who don't know me or understand me, but I will not let you down."

"Seventh place, with twelve million recommendation votes, our... Lu Yun!"

Lu Yun looked surprised when he learned that a new debut spot had been added, but he still excitedly waved to the audience in the distance as he walked onto the main stage, stood next to Lee Yong-hyun, and took the trophy and microphone that Lee Yong-hyun handed to him.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to debut. I even bought my ticket home, but I debuted—I love you all!" He said, putting his hands above his head and making a big heart shape with his arms. "See that, Grandma!"

"Eighth place... Lia!"

"Thank you, thank you so much everyone." Lia quickly walked onto the stage, stood next to An Kexin, and said shyly and briefly.

"Ninth place... Zhang Shuaizhen!"

Zhang Shuaizhen jumped onto the stage excitedly, took the microphone from Liya next to her, and said loudly, "I never thought I could debut! Thank you! I will bring more joy to everyone!"

After their hopes were dashed time and time again, they faced new anxieties and tensions. Song Wenchen had given up hope and squatted on the ground crying. Luo Xi bent down to comfort him, while Le Jing was so heavy-hearted that she forgot everyone else and was immersed in her sadness.

Only 041 kept repeating, "[Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi...]"

"The tenth place, which is the last debut spot in this program, is... "

[Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi...]

The host slowed down his speech, looked at the trainees and the audience, and said, "The person who won the last debut spot is..."

[Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi, Luo Enxi...]

"Ronxi!"

【Ah ah ah ah ah! 】

"Congratulations, Luo Enxi! You've received ten million votes from the public and secured the tenth debut spot in Mexico!"

【Rosie!!】

Luo Xi took a step out of the group of trainees, feeling light as a feather.

The system set off virtual fireworks for her, scattering glittering yellow data dots everywhere.

She climbed the steps one by one and realized how high the place was.

Somewhat dazed, she accepted the microphone handed to her by the host Rong Tian and the trophy handed to her by Gu Minxing.

Pick up the microphone.

Now that it was time for her to give her acceptance speech, she had already prepared some beautiful words.

Rosie struck a practiced smile.

"I……"

But she couldn't hide her tears as soon as she opened her mouth. She tilted her head back and tried to control her tears. Applause rang out from all directions to encourage her.

"I am truly grateful to every fan who voted for me! Thank you, I will always perform on stage for you. And to those who helped me, my friends Song Wenchen, Le Jing, and the other trainees who didn't make it into the finals, they are also very talented and hardworking people, and I hope everyone can continue to support them."

"I hope this is a starting point, the starting point for us all to walk the flower path together... Thank you!"

Luo Xi choked up as she put down the microphone, and Gu Minxing, who was standing beside her, gently patted her back to comfort her.

After all the debut spots were announced, the sound of jet engines rang out again, showering the audience with countless glittering sequins.

As the host, Rong Tian, ​​was giving his closing remarks, a sound suddenly came from the in-ear monitor in one of Luo Xi's ears.

"I'm the director on set, can you hear me? If so, look at the camera on your right... Okay."

"Now we're counting down to ten. In ten seconds, the power will go out and the ground beneath your feet will drop. You'll slide down with the other members, but there's foam underneath. You don't need to do anything. We're just telling you not to panic. If you understand, look at the camera to your left now."

"What's going on here?"

[041 doesn't know either!]

Luo Xi looked at the camera on the left.

Everything was normal. The host was saying his closing words, the members were all maintaining their expressions, the trainees below were crying, and there were glow sticks and audience members all around.

Just as Luo Xi thought he was hallucinating, "Bang!" The power went out throughout the venue. Luo Xi felt his hand being grabbed, the ground began to tilt, and his whole body fell due to his anxiety and instability, landing in a sponge mat.

The darkness lasted briefly for two seconds before it quickly returned to normal.
