Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show

Unlike Mi Lan's amazement, Chen Yue, sitting not far away, had a very unpleasant expression, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Looking at Jiang Zhiyu on the stage and listening to the lyrics of the song, he inexplicably felt that the theme was subtly directed at him.

But he also had a vague, inexplicable sense of pleasure. This complex feeling swirled in his mind, causing his face to flush red and then pale.

Chen Yue's teammates noticed something was wrong and quietly nudged his arm, asking in a low voice, "What's wrong? You look terrible, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Yue snapped back to his senses, composed himself, shook his head, and said in a cold tone, "It's nothing, I'm not feeling unwell."

The rehearsal went smoothly. Jiang Zhiyu's group only needed to rehearse twice before they were completely familiar with the stage, lighting, and sound effects, and there were no mistakes.

While other teams were asked to stay and continue rehearsing, Jiang Zhiyu's group was told they could leave early so they could go back and rest and prepare for the official performance.

The official performance stage for the second day was set in a small venue that could accommodate 800 people. Many people complained about the venue chosen by the program team, thinking it was too small and that tickets were impossible to get.

#The day of the second performance has finally arrived! How many members of my group are going to the venue? Let's all bet on winning first place in this performance!#

[1L: I still want to shout it out loud—who actually managed to snag a ticket? They sold out completely in seconds! It showed as sold out as soon as I clicked on it.]

[2L: I didn't get one either. If I were to win first place in the performance, I'd blindly bet on Jiang Zhiyu.]

[3L: Although this performance is an original stage production, the keywords given are quite lenient, allowing for a wide range of creative possibilities. I feel it should be good, and I'm looking forward to it.]

[4L: I'm going to go to every thread to tell everyone that I was there today!]

—Reply: [I'm so envious, my eyes are practically red.]

—Reply: [Holy crap, waiting for the photos.]

……

[30L: I saw someone say that the audience lineup for the second public performance is really impressive, I wonder if it's true.]

—Reply: [Besides Yan Zuo, who else is coming?]

—Reply: [The specific list hasn't been revealed; I've only vaguely heard that the show's invitation list includes many extraordinary individuals.]

—Reply: [I've invited you, but you might not come?]

—Reply: [I'm not sure, we'll see if it's shown on camera when it officially starts.]

[31L: I'm also betting on Jiang Zhiyu. Since the show started, when has he ever not been number one... I completely trust his ability to be number one.]

[69L: Good news! I got a seat in the first row of the VIP section! Jiang Jiang, here I come! Hehehe...hehehehe...]

—Reply: 【Now I'm really envious! Where are my votes? Where are my votes? Where are my votes?! !!!】

—Reply: [I am exhausted, I am silent, I have surrendered, I am desperate, I have collapsed, I am helpless, I have prayed to Buddha, I have fallen, I have hanged myself, I have retired to the countryside, I am at my moment of wisdom, I am powerless to resist, I have prayed to heaven, earth, and my parents, I have resorted to the thirty-six stratagems of running away, I have feigned madness and pretended to know nothing.]

—Reply: [The person upstairs is so envious, me too! We were just innocent netizens passing by, we didn't do anything wrong! Congratulations, baby! (gritting teeth)]

—Reply: [So close... After watching, could you tell your internet friends (that is, us) whether Jiang Jiang smells good, and what kind of smell it has? A sister who sat in the first row of the first performance kept saying that Jiang Jiang smelled amazing, I'm so curious, it's become a legend in Jiangmen.]

……

[77L: I did hear that Jingcheng Entertainment sent people to watch the game, but it's a secret and they're not allowed to tell anyone.]

—Reply: [It's not supposed to be shared outside, but you just posted it so casually in this thread? Rest in peace, OP...]

—Reply: 【Oh my god, this has nothing to do with me! You lousy hotpot connoisseur! I'm innocent! I only heard it from someone else!】

The source of this netizen's information is unknown, but it is certainly accurate.

A low-profile black minivan was slowly driving through traffic. A couple sat quietly in the back seat, saying nothing to each other.

The silence was broken when one of the women sighed, "Old Jing, do you think Xiaoyu will feel uncomfortable knowing we're keeping this from him? He's like... a child who doesn't want to be supported by his family."

The man called Lao Jing couldn't help but sigh as well: "Xiao Yu is a smart kid, whether we can keep it a secret or not is another matter."

The woman turned to look out the window at the traffic jam, her voice a little hoarse: "He's carrying too much of a burden, he's still just a child..."

Meanwhile, a man in a black trench coat walked briskly through his underground garage, randomly picked an inconspicuous car, and stepped into the driver's seat.

If Lu Shanshan were here, she would immediately recognize this person as the mysterious "passerby" who sat next to her during the first public performance, namely Jiang Ming.

But Lu Shanshan couldn't be here, because she was currently battling with her camera outside the Second Stadium.

This time, Lu Shanshan didn't manage to buy a front-row seat; she only managed to snag a seat in a regular section.

But she was already quite satisfied with the result. All her friends in the industry who watched the performance with her during the first round of the competition were disappointed this time, and no one except her managed to get tickets.

Therefore, they angrily criticized the production team and chose to watch the live broadcast at home amidst the scalpers' frenzied price gouging. Lu Shanshan also did not choose to pay extra to buy another row of seats.

"It seems like security will be even tighter this time," Lu Shanshan's new partner said with some concern.

While pondering where to place the telephoto lens, Lu Shanshan gritted her teeth and said, "Hong Liu, keep going. If we don't crack down on the scalpers who sell at high prices, they'll treat our fans like thieves."

"What about your lens? They say the camera body is okay, but the lens might not be."

"Don't rush, let me think..."

"Where's the luminous object? Are you prepared this time?"

"Don't worry, it's all taken care of. This time it's not my responsibility; the other ladies sitting in the front row have taken over!"

"Ahhh—the live backstage broadcast from the production team has started!"

Lu Shanshan looked up excitedly, ignoring the camera, and casually put it aside before turning on her phone: "Let me see!"

"What the heck?? Is this the kind of beauty a human being should have??"
