Chapter 10 has been discovered.
Today is Saturday, and it's also the first public performance of "Chu Rhyme".
After the last exchange meeting, the performance style of this song and dance drama was praised by the peers, which gave the entire Jiangcheng Song and Dance Troupe a lot of confidence.
The performance was attended not only by local dance enthusiasts but also by professionals from across the country, all witnessing this grand artistic event.
Early in the morning, Zhou Xiaobai made an appointment with Grandma Wang to go play with An Qianqian.
Of course, playing around is just a pretext; the real purpose is to collect popularity points to make the body complete.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai was weaving through the crowd at the entrance of the performance hall. After making a round, he had already collected a full 268 points.
To prevent Zhou Xiaobai from giving up, and also because the system didn't want to die prematurely, the two sides negotiated last night—they agreed to work out once they had gathered a thousand points.
He can choose between "One-Click Learning" or linking to "Rising Star." He'll earn 10,000 popularity points for future use.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai chuckled inwardly: This damn system is clearly mocking him!
Of course we're going to tie him to Tomorrow's Star! Even though he wants to slack off, without a penis, he'll just have to squat and slack off.
Furthermore, once you've overcome this initial hurdle, the sky's the limit—whether you want to give up or live forever, it's up to you.
And his martial arts skills can also be unsealed—in his previous life, he was a mountain king who made money without any investment, and he knew the importance of safety first.
Although the system offers a lot of temptations, we haven't really seen them. What if the system is just bragging?
Let's wait until we bind to Tomorrow's Star and see if what the system says is true!
If it's true, then we'll go all out; if it's fake, we'll stick to our old ways—becoming kings of the mountains!
After Zhou Xiaobai could no longer collect popularity points, he went to An Qianqian's side, but she pulled him aside and whispered, "When there are the most people, you can sneak in with me."
"Oh...I understand."
Zhou Xiaobai agreed verbally, but inwardly he thought: "He still claims it's your territory? He's really useless."
A short while later, the two entered the venue smoothly.
An Qianqian pulled Zhou Xiaobai along, dodging and weaving, towards the audience seats. Zhou Xiaobai finally understood; this little tyrant actually had someone he was afraid of!
However, he didn't make any jokes. After finding a spot in the back, he slipped away while saying, "Xixi, I'm going to the restroom. I'll be back in a bit."
His main purpose was to gather popularity points up close; he couldn't just hide in a corner of the back row to watch the performance.
Zhou Xiaobai swaggered to the back of the stage, entering every room he saw and sweetly calling everyone he met "uncle" and "auntie".
You have to be bold to do this kind of thing. The bold will thrive, and the timid will starve!
He peeked around the changing room, rehearsal room, dressing room... even the entrance to the women's restroom.
People saw that he was a cute little boy and didn't pay much attention to him.
On the contrary, he was not spared from being teased; his cheeks were pinched several times, and he also received a lot of well-intentioned teasing.
Zhou Xiaobai remained unfazed, after all, he was just a child, and this identity was the best cover.
When the performance started, he ran to the front of the stage and finally filled up his popularity score of 1,000.
However, An Qianqian in the back seat couldn't sit still. Seeing Zhou Xiaobai so boldly walk to the front of the stage, she trembled—the program was being announced, and her mother was about to go on stage.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Zhou Xiaobai finally returned to his seat.
An Qianqian sat down and pinched Zhou Xiaobai's ear hard, mimicking her mother's methods perfectly: "Why are you disobedient and running around everywhere? What if my mother finds out?"
Zhou Xiaobai was in so much pain that he was convulsing. He had never had his ear pulled by a woman in his past life, and now he had suffered at the hands of this little tyrant. It was so embarrassing.
He grabbed Anxi's little hand: "Xixi, it's okay, your mother doesn't recognize me."
Just as he was about to teach this little girl a lesson, a pair of beautiful eyes swept over from the stage. An Qianqian pulled Zhou Xiaobai, and the two of them instantly disappeared under the backrest.
"It's all your fault!"
Anxi was so frightened that she trembled.
Zhou Xiaobai immediately backed down, and his desire to teach her a lesson vanished—this was his own little baby, and it would be unforgivable to hit her!
On stage, "Chu Rhyme" is being performed with great passion.
The overall style is classical and ethnic, with the zither, sheng, drum and chime bells intertwining and resonating in the music, and the dance is also based on ethnic dance.
As the music played, a cloud of smoke rose, and a woman danced gracefully, her movements beautiful and captivating.
She was beautiful and elegant, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, exuding grace and nobility.
The slightly noisy theater fell silent instantly, as if everyone was captivated by the woman's beauty and dance.
This is an extremely difficult water sleeve dance, which is difficult for anyone without profound skill to master. The water sleeves, which are several meters long, must be thrown out straight like arrows and pulled back cleanly and neatly. It looks relaxed and free, but in fact, it requires a very high level of strength, rhythm and precision.
Every glance, every turn, even the slightest step must be executed flawlessly.
An Qianqian, who had already poked her head out, nudged Zhou Xiaobai beside her, her tone full of pride: "That's my mom, isn't she pretty?"
Zhou Xiaobai, who then poked his head out, was immediately dumbfounded, his body involuntarily stiffening with fright—wasn't the mother An Qianqian was talking about the beautiful woman who had hit him that day?
That look was terrifying! The worst part was that Anxi described her mother as a tigress, as fierce as could be! She herself knew it all too well.
Now that he's stolen the mother tiger's cubs, if he's caught red-handed, wouldn't he be beaten to death?
Just as Zhou Xiaobai was lost in thought, An Qianqian tugged at his sleeve again: "Look down, don't let anyone see!"
Zhou Xiaobai looked down, only to meet a pair of angry eyes.
Anxi pulled him down even lower with a forceful tug—if it weren't inconvenient right now, she would definitely teach this disobedient younger brother a lesson!
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoli, who was dancing, glanced incredulously at the two small heads in the back of the audience, and her body paused almost imperceptibly.
Fortunately, she was highly professional and immediately resumed the dance steps as if nothing had happened.
She recognized him—one was her daughter, Anxixi, and the other was the little brat who had tried to extort money from her that day.
At this moment, a huge wave of emotions surged within Liu Xiaoli. A strong sense of unease gripped her, as if her precious daughter had been kidnapped. She sneered inwardly: "You, Zhou Xiaobai! You not only used a fake name to extort me, but you also insulted me. Now you want to kidnap my little girl? Wait until the performance is over, and I'll skin you alive..."
The performance ended a little over ten minutes later.
Seeing her mother leave the stage, Anxi waved her little fist and urged, "Let's hurry, don't let Mom see us!"
Not long after the two left, Liu Xiaoli hurriedly emerged from backstage, her eyes scanning the back seats anxiously...
Unbeknownst to Anxi, her mother had already recognized them.
Outside the dance troupe, Zhou Xiaobai, having successfully completed his mission, grabbed An Qianqian and ran off. At this moment, nothing was more important than binding with the Rising Star.
I need to find a quiet, secluded place; a small grove in a park is my lucky spot.
