The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 110

Nan XiangWan returned to the <i>Idol Producer</i> program group at 3 pm in the afternoon.

Xiao Dong had already taken the pickles that Huang Shi gave her back to the dormitory and helped tidy up her things. Xiao Dong was a very capable assistant, obedient, gluttonous, and adorable.

When Nan XiangWan returned after being away for a day, all the trainees ran out to greet her.

The 19 trainees had nothing better to do than stick their faces against the glass door, watching Nan XiangWan get out of the car.

Ge Dongxuan: "Wow! A top-of-the-line GMC luxury van, a 2 million business vehicle!"

Yun Qian: "Jealous, and chauffeured by the super agent Orange Xue herself."

Zhou Wenxia: "Nan XiangWan is so rich! The company spoils her so much!"

Zhu Sha: "Of course, the company is hers after all."

Sha Ling: "That's right, isn't Zhu Sha also from Huawan Entertainment?"

Zhu Sha: "Yes, not only is Nan XiangWan my teammate, she's also my boss."

Speaking of this, Zhu Sha felt extremely comfortable.

After spending day and night together for 40 days, Nan XiangWan could definitely be considered Zhu Sha's friend.

Her friend was the big boss of the company.

What could be more awesome than this?

Zhu Sha felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life!

Deng Si Nan: "Incredible! I also want a boss like Nan XiangWan!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Me too..."

As everyone chimed in with their comments, Nan XiangWan walked in.

The staff immediately locked the door again, otherwise these rascals would always try to escape!

Nan XiangWan's return was greeted by all the trainees.

They surged forward, surrounding her, chattering away.

Ge Dongxuan: "Nan XiangWan, was the food Huang Shi made delicious?"

Nan XiangWan: "Delicious!"

Yun Qian: "How was the taste of that whole roasted lamb?"

Nan XiangWan: "Amazing!"

Deng Si Nan: "Wow! I want to eat it too. I also want to pet Meteorite's fur."

Zhou Wenxia: "I'd rather pet Bai Bai's fur."

Sha Ling: "I'm jealous Nan XiangWan got to be on Huang Shi's show. Ordinary people can't even get on that variety show!"

Nan XiangWan: "I'll take you all next time."

Ge Dongxuan: “Really, for real?”

Nan XiangWan: “Really, we’ll go for promotions after we debut as a group.”

Zhu Sha: "..."

Damn, thinking about promotions before even reaching the finals?

As expected of you, Nan XiangWan!

The others were also eager to give it a try. After all, the 7 members who would debut had become quite apparent.

Today was another day when the program team turned a blind eye.

After dinner, Nan XiangWan went back to the dormitory to do homework. She felt guilty for not doing it yesterday!

After school, Nan XiangWan's brother Nan ChaoYang also turned on video chat to tutor his older sister. He didn't do his homework yesterday either.

He was busy slaughtering CP fans!

After two straight days, no one dared to continue posting in the super topic.

But the group chats persisted, and Nan ChaoYang encountered a bunch of unkillable little bosses!

-----------------

The next day, Nan XiangWan got up at 6 am and went to the practice room wearing weighted bands.

The battle with the wild boar left her feeling a little melancholy.

She was too weak to win.

So today's training would increase in difficulty!

Swish swish swish!

Time to train!

She must become stronger!

As the office workers and students got up in the morning to eat breakfast or take the bus, they also opened the livestream to watch Nan XiangWan exercise as usual.

Comments:

: Nan XiangWan is so hardworking today!

: She's training even more intensely, the fight with the wild boar must have been a shock.

: Was she provoked by the wild boar fight yesterday? That's why she's training like crazy today?

: I hope Nan XiangWan doesn't turn into a muscular woman, this level of intense training is a bit scary!

: Speaking of which, Nan XiangWan's figure is really good, her arm lines are so nice to look at! Slender and toned!

: Scary, please don't get too bulky! I'm begging you!

: It shouldn't happen, look at her these past days, although her figure has improved, she doesn't seem to be developing in the direction of a muscular woman. Her arm lines are all vertical development, the muscle blocks haven't gotten bigger.

: Unbelievable!

: Let me explain as a professional, it looks like Nan XiangWan is training hard, but she is actually developing pink muscles, not traditional white muscle blocks, so she won't get big and bulky.

: The ones above, I don't understand! What are white and pink muscles?

: White muscle fibers belong to motor units for exercise, what people normally develop at the gym. They have thicker cross sections and strong explosive power but poor endurance. Red muscle fibers belong to tonic motor neurons, contain more myoglobin and cell pigments, less myofibrils, more fatigue resistant...

: Still don't really get it! But I understand that Nan XiangWan won't turn into a muscular woman! That's great!

: Just great!

...

In fact, Nan XiangWan was training both white and red muscles combined.

It was nothing like what the comments were theorizing, focused on sculpting.

The reason she didn't look bulky at all was because the system didn't allow her to bulk up!

Figure score of 99, you know?

After the 2.5 hour limit training ended, Nan XiangWan went to eat breakfast, then took a shower.

At 9:20, she arrived at the amphitheater.

Today was drawing lots.

Zhong Lingfei stood on stage, a smile on her face.

Nan XiangWan was still sitting in that highest #1 spot, overlooking the other trainees.

Zhong Lingfei looked at her watch. When it was just about time, she spoke, "The 5th stage performance will take place in a week. I trust everyone is quite familiar with the rules by now?"

Zhong Lingfei: "There are only 20 trainees left now. After the next stage performance ends, there will only be ten left. The final debut stage will have just seven people."

Everyone listened quietly.

Zhong Lingfei: "The 5th stage performance will still be a duo performance. Have you all prepared?"

"Prepared!"

With that, the system also issued Nan XiangWan a mission.

[Ding!]

[Triggered Mission: Performance (5)]

[Mission: Please help the host successfully complete the 5th stage performance]

[Mission Reward: Reward to be given based on final performance completion and ranking]

[Mission Failure: Deduct 5 million in cash]

Nan XiangWan: Hmph.

5 million, why don't you rob me outright!

She only had a little over 6 million in her card right now!

This damn system!

Zhong Lingfei: "Now please have the 1st place Nan XiangWan come on stage to draw her partner and song!"

Nan XiangWan got up and walked onto the stage.

The camera followed her the whole way.

This time, she didn't rush forward. Instead she calmly let the camera follow to shoot her.

Once on stage, Nan XiangWan glanced at the other people below.

The 19 trainees were staring at her intently!

Especially Ge Dongxuan, whose face was flushed red from nervousness!

Nan XiangWan placed her hand on the pause button of the big screen and pressed it.

Pa!

The rolling names on the big screen came to an abrupt stop.

Ge Dongxuan!

For the 5th stage performance, she had drawn Ge Dongxuan!

Ge Dongxuan immediately jumped up on the spot and screamed, then pounded the ground!

"Ah ah ah! Ah! It's finally my turn! Ah!!!"

The others were startled by her excited screaming and dolphin notes.

Calm down, Ge Dongxuan!
