Chapter 327: Public Performance Begins; Legendary Bai Xiaofei! (1/2)
Heralded by the urging of thousands, a pretty face still half-hiding behind the pipa1.
As the last recording of the training was broadcast, in the expectations of all, the countdown to the first round of performance of the Blossom Ranking competition officially began. And the last barrier to the show that everyone greatly anticipated were the tickets. What was ‘even a ticket is nearly impossible to get’? Bai Xiaofei explained it in action!
The venue for the performance was finally decided to be the academy’s public square. Besides its ability to accommodate many, the divine-grade formation in the square was also needed for the performances.
For this, Starnet had even closed the square three times during the past two weeks!
However, even if the final venue was set in that outrageously big square, it was still impossible to accommodate all those who wanted to watch the performance. The number of people who were already in Starnet, plus those who were coming to Starnet to see the performance for themselves after watching the broadcast outside by the Amethyst Merchant House, had completely exceeded the academy’s capacity.
In the first sale of 30% of the tickets, they all sold out in less than an hour!
Under these circumstances, Bai Xiaofei decisively changed the way tickets were sold – by auction.
Although the sales time was prolonged due to this, Bai Xiaofei got to witness the madness of the outsiders. His earnings had increased by many times!
After all of the tickets were sold out, Bai Xiaofei visited the rehearsal area for the last time. Some were still making final preparations, while others were only quietly waiting for the performance date.
“Come, come! Everyone, gather up!”
In just a month’s time, Yin Jing had left an impression of a big sister on all of the participating girls. Even Hu Xian’er showed respect for her. Of course, this only regarded the performing aspect…
Therefore, Yin Jing’s calls were answered almost immediately. No matter what everyone was doing, the girls all stopped and gathered together as quickly as possible.
“Our organizer wants to have a word, let us welcome him!” As soon as Yin Jing finished, thunderous applause resounded. Who would have thought that the little sisters that people outside dreamed to see so badly were all cheering for a boy now…
“No need to be so enthusiastic. I can’t take it. I really can’t take it.” Despite his shy smile, delight was written all over Bai Xiaofei’s face. Seeing his little embarrassed demeanor, the applause below turned into laughter.
The smile of a beautiful girl was already able to topple the nation. Now that there were five hundred at once, Bai Xiaofei was dazzled, especially when the girls looked all sweaty after a rehearsal and carried a hint of unutterable temptation.
“In fact, I wasn’t going to say anything great; I just wanted to ask how ready you guys are. But seeing your state now, I know I don’t need to ask. If possible, I want to immediately change the clock to tomorrow, because I can’t wait to see your wonderful performances!”
At Bai Xiaofei’s words, everyone below revealed confident smiles in unison.
A month ago, they hadn’t believed that they could reach the level of their mentors, but a month later, no one doubted themselves. Everyone firmly believed that they would be breathtaking; it wasn’t blind confidence, but the certitude of knowing that it’d turn out amazing after all the preparation.
“Tomorrow will be your first performance. According to the rankings of your teams in the previous voting, the last 33 will be performing tomorrow. While it might be disadvantageous for you guys to go first, I believe that it will be nothing in the face of absolute strength.” Bai Xiaofei was like the god of misfortune bringing bad news; it didn’t sound like a pep talk at all.
Fortunately, however, no one was affected!
