Chapter 38: No Sugar! No Sugar!

This is a lie.

The contestants quickly noticed the loopholes in the words.

No matter how special “Dazzling Stage” is, at its core, it is still a talent show variety show.

Especially when it comes to the sensitive voting part, relying purely on luck is definitely impossible.

The final theme song selected will inevitably have a direct connection with the contestant it fits best with.

In other words, this is a closed stage for trainees, where the only way to speculate on one’s own and others’ popularity outside is through this process.

Knowing oneself and one’s opponent, one can win a hundred battles without danger.

Only by figuring out who the biggest enemy is can one make timely countermeasures.

And it was in the moment of the contestants brainstorming,

Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled, raised a hand, snapped his fingers, and said:

“How about inviting our audience to witness together first?”

The virtual reality system received instructions and quickly extracted the data stream from the “Dazzling Stage” official website’s live room. Thousands of bullet comments floated like fish in the three-dimensional virtual classroom, creating a dazzling scene of flowing lights.

The top players in Grade A were positioned at a high point, with the widest view, as if overlooking a mountain range. They could see countless bullet comments and even had the ability to interact with them, making their experience highly engaging.

Grade B players could only watch from below, feeling as if they were being drawn into a surreal world. It was like wandering into a thick morning mist in the mountains, feeling a bit confused.

“Hehehe, I’m coming to the ‘Dazzling Stage’!”

“The program group understands the effects of the show. Besides the virtual reality performance and the intense attacks on the players, there is nothing else to compare.”

“Is this what it feels like to openly dance in front of the main character? So cool!”

“The lines from Dream Weaver Rabbit are so dramatic, igniting a fiery passion!”

“What kind of hot-blooded idol show is this?”

“The line ‘the stage is a battlefield, victory or defeat determines the future’ is really… so cool!”

These bullet comments seem to be intelligently sorted and categorized according to instant retrieval and calculation of big data, rushing to the players in an organized way. They turned the superficial light show into a large public execution scene.

“maid outfit! maid outfit! maid outfit!”

“Fans have turned hostile. Honey Qing should stay away from Sakura Girl! Don’t fall for her tricks!”

“You’d better faint from happiness!”

Chu Yuanqing lifted her head briefly, her eyes widened, she felt a heart attack, and wished she could evaporate on the spot.

The girl’s face turned red with embarrassment as she tried hard to maintain a serious expression.

Ugh, that annoying red-eyed rabbit is trying to disturb my peace with bullet comments again!

And these strange bullet comments claiming to be moms, I already have a daughter! I don’t need any weird mom fans!

Sigh, what’s up with the maid outfit? What does maid outfit mean again?

This special word triggered a vague memory to surface in the mind, as if correcting cause and effect.

Chu Yuanqing, feeling confused, suddenly remembered herself wearing a maid outfit in an awkward way. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, almost stomping her foot in frustration, feeling so embarrassed that even her ears turned red.

Oh no, who granted this superpower to me?

How tricky! It could have been easily fixed with a simple adjustment in cause and effect, but instead created a detailed past, so complete that even she herself doesn’t remember, bringing forth so much dark history for no reason!

No wonder when she was wearing underwear, her movements were oddly skilled, effortlessly unbuttoning or buttoning up buttons like solving a Rubik’s Cube.

Are all magical girls this magical?

At the same time, surrounded by the bullet comments floating around Chu Yuanqing, locking her gaze, the audience could immediately see the subtle expressions on her face and her quickly blushing earlobes, unable to control their excitement:

“So cute, so cute, so cute, she’s blushing!”

“I’m a student, give me one.”

“Can’t stand it, so spicy! Can’t you see my dear Honey Qing feeling shy? All you lesbian girls, behave yourselves and stay away from my Honey Qing!”

Modern internet lesbian literature has given a small shock to the savior of the old times.

Chu Yuanqing couldn’t handle it at all, her brain went blank from the dirty talk and she chose to act like an ostrich, closing her eyes and pretending to be dead.

Similar things happened around many contestants during this time.

The difference between them and Chu Yuanqing is that they all navigated through the internet, not busy and out of touch with the times like a middle-aged office worker, possessing strong filtering abilities.

Everyone knows that this is the best way to gather information from the outside world, to be aware of their popularity outside, so naturally they cannot give up easily.

So, almost everyone is interacting with bullet comments in their own way now.

From the perspective of Grade A contestants, the number of bullet comments outside their own area is decreasing in a staggered manner, except for Chu Yuanqing who is surrounded by a large number of bullet comments in the C-level Area, making her seem out of place compared to the other Grade C contestants.

In the Grade B area, the standout contestants are Tang Liuli followed by Chu Wang Shu.

Tang Liuli used to be a shining child star in Daxia.

Even after retiring for many years, the hidden fan base is much larger than normal new singers.

On the other hand, this young actress who has some fame in the movie and TV industry, reappeared on “Dazzling Stage” after many years of retirement as an idol trainee, causing great curiosity.

In this situation, her story was distorted and spread by online accounts and self-media for popularity, increasing her presence.

The comments pouring in now include touching blessings and support from loyal fans, as well as gossip and idle chatter from onlookers.

Tang Liuli’s green eyes were dark, filled with strong feelings of inferiority and fear, overwhelming her like a wave. She opened her mouth to read the comments but couldn’t speak, standing silently like a statue on the verge of shattering.

Until…

“Luli, were you staring at Chu Yuanqing’s profile all along?”

“Oh yeah, I remember she blushed, super cute.”

“Little Liuli grew up to be very pretty, but unfortunately she became a lesbian and it was so joyful.”

“Stop talking, secretly in love.”

“Isn’t it sweet? Isn’t it sweet? Isn’t it sweet?”

Tang Liuli instantly lost her composure.

Darn it, what peeking? What secret crush?

Not me! I didn’t! That wasn’t me!!!

Tang Liuli couldn’t even suppress her depression, she anxiously wanted to speak up in disagreement, but facing the many glances following the bullet comments still made her uncomfortable. Her moist lips struggled to move for a long time, and only a small sentence popped out quietly:

“No ‘sugar’ allowed!”

This sentence unsurprisingly stirred up the audience’s rebellion, they grabbed onto this point and vigorously vented their criticisms. Bullet comments quickly multiplied, soon turning the surrounding area into a joyful ocean.
