Night of the South and the Return of Nightfall
"Sunrise in the East: Did the picture come out?"
"Return of Nightfall: No! The big slab didn't work today, the chain fell off."
"Sunrise in the East: I knew they couldn't do it! We still have to rely on our diehard fans!"
"Return of Nightfall: ..."
"Return of Nightfall: But there's only two of us total, are you sure you want to rely on us?"
"Return of Nightfall: Why don't we just let those outside applying to join the group in?"
"Sunrise in the East: No! Look at the names those people picked, 'I'm Nan XiangWan's husband', 'I'm Nan XiangWan's wife', 'Nan XiangWan is mine', as a diehard fan I can't accept it!"
"Return of Nightfall: Okay, I'll listen to you big brother!"
"Return of Nightfall: Oh right big brother, in the Nan Wangbei Di super forum, a Beidi diehard fan took out stealth paint to declare war on you."
"Sunrise in the East: Hmph! Another weakling? Let me go take care of him!"
----------------
When Nan XiangWan woke up from her sleep, she was told to go on stage to announce the results.
The recording had already ended, they were tallying votes.
Nan XiangWan got up, a few strands of hair were standing straight up on her head, sticking up like antennas.
She didn't even look in the mirror, she just rushed out the door heading towards the stage passageway.
Xiao Dong had just taken out a comb, and turned around to see Nan XiangWan's figure had already disappeared from the rest area.
Xiao Dong: "..."
Done for, going to be another meme!
The host Guan Liangzhe was desperately hyping up the scene, constantly increasing the enthusiasm of the atmosphere on site, and even interacting with the livestream audience.
While waiting for the contestants to return to the stage and for the votes to be counted, the big screen kept scrolling the real-time barrage, and would occasionally pull out a few to interact with.
Guan Liangzhe felt this new segment was very fresh, and started playing with it on the spot.
Guan Liangzhe: "Let's see what the livestream viewers have sent in, stop!"
Swish, the scrolling text on the big screen stopped.
Guan Liangzhe immediately read it out: "A message from the user 'My name is Mu Xia', asking if... oh no, if brother Guan Liangzhe has paid attention to the meme spread from his expression in 'Horror Escape Room'?"
After reading it out, the scene was dead silent at first, then immediately burst into laughter!
Guan Liangzhe's face was black, don't mention his old shame.
With the professionalism of a host, he handled it very tactfully.
That is, directly skip over it!
Guan Liangzhe: "Alright, let's continue drawing viewer messages, next one, stop!"
Guan Liangzhe: "A message from user... asking if brother Zhang looks forward to more horror variety shows in the future... okay pass! Next one! Keep drawing!"
Barrage comments:
:Hahahahaha!
:I'm laughing to death! Everyone go at it! Send in more messages to ask questions!
:Come on, draw a few more to make the host draw all this kind!
:I really love this segment!
:Zhang Guanzhe really cracked me up, must be smiling on the outside but cursing on the inside!
:The one before, his name is Guan Liangzhe hahahaha!
...
In an atmosphere of fiery enthusiasm, Guan Liangzhe finally saw that all the singers had returned to the stage.
He immediately stopped this segment, and started walking over to the singers, firmly resolving in his heart to propose cancelling this segment to the production team, cancelling!
This season's netizens are out of control!
The 8 singers went on stage, standing in a row waiting.
At this time, the vote counting had finished, and director Zhang Rui was asking them to recount the votes to confirm.
Because these numbers didn't seem right!
Last round, the main age distribution of Nan XiangWan's votes was 18-25, taking up 60% of the chunk.
But this round, the number of votes suddenly increased, and the distribution had also changed.
18-25 years old dropped to 30%, ridiculous.
25-30 years old drastically increased, to 50% of the share.
Over 30 took up 20%.
Zhang Rui looked at this data, suspecting for a time that there was a mistake, but the recount still showed the same.
It wasn't that the 18-25 age group had fewer votes, but that the 25-30 age range had a crazy increase in votes.
Nan XiangWan's total votes this round was double last round's!
Nearly three times more than the second place!
Too scary!
...
After the host Guan Liangzhe chatted with the singers briefly, he was notified backstage that the vote counting segment had ended, and they could start announcing the numbers now.
Guan Liangzhe immediately got into his host persona, first regretfully announcing the last place elimination, then quickly reporting the rankings from 7th to 4th place.
Worth noting is that Wei Sha moved up from 7th place last round to 6th place this round.
Going up one ranking!
Wei Sha didn't expect that she could still move up, and was naturally very happy with this small surprise.
The one dropping down to 7th place was none other than Wu Sisi!
Upon hearing her ranking, Wu Sisi's face went pale, she almost blew up right there on stage.
How could she possibly be only 7th place?
You need to know 8th place means elimination, she almost got eliminated?
Did you mess up counting the votes?
Host Guan Liangzhe continued announcing the rankings: "In 3rd place! Congratulations to teacher Zhong Lingfei!"
Zhong Lingfei took a step forward and bowed deeply, stabilizing her top three position again, not bad at all.
Guan Liangzhe: "In 2nd place! Our Mr. Yang Rongjun again!"
Yang Rongjun joked: "Mr. Teacher is fine too, no need to add old."
Audience: "Hahaha!"
Guan Liangzhe blinked: "Alright! Big brother Yang Rongjun!"
Yang Rongjun: "No need for such exaggeration..."
After a brief moment of levity, Guan Liangzhe's voice rang out loudly: "Finally, let us announce the 1st place of Singer's 2nd round stage - Nan XiangWan!"
Swoosh! The scene started fluttering down strips of colored ribbons and shiny glittery sequins.
Nan XiangWan stood in the center of the stage, the camera immediately focused in on her for a close up.
And so, all the livestream viewers suddenly saw those two strands of hair sticking straight up from her head!
Jutting up over there, swaying slightly from time to time.
Barrage comments:
:Pfft hahahaha! Pfft hahahahaha!
:Big god quickly screenshot! Quickly quickly!
:[Antenna hair].gif is here
:Too cute want to touch!
:Ahhh XiangWan's antenna hair I love it!
...
Nan XiangWan was simply unaware that she had new meme material again, happily basking in the glory of 1st place!
Happy!
【Ding!】
【Mission Complete: Sadness】
【Congratulations host for obtaining Singer's 2nd round 1st place! 】
【Congratulations host for obtaining 10x cashback reward 3 times, capped at 100k!】
Awesome!
Suddenly rewarded with 3 times cashback stacking, adding to the previous one makes 4 times now, so 400k limit.
Nan XiangWan was even happier now, making the antenna hairs on her head sway around actively.
The barrage flooded with [antenna hair].gif spam.
So cute!
At the same time, a new mission was issued.
【Ding!】
【Triggered Mission: Hot Blood】
【Mission Requirement: Have the host sing a song with the theme of hot blood in Singer's 3rd round stage】
【Mission Reward: Announced according to final ranking】
Nan XiangWan continued standing there antenna hair and all, the system sure enough issued a 'hot blood' theme.
After Singer's 2nd round recording and livestream ended, Guan Liangzhe ran up to catch up with Nan XiangWan.
Guan Liangzhe: "Nan XiangWan! XiangWan bro! Nan Wang! Let's team up!"
He was now starting to get scared, Horror Escape Room was about to start!
