Chapter 281: Chapter 255: Standing Out Again_3

"So I’ve heard from the company that the fans in Hua Country seem pretty unhappy with the previous issue about my positioning."

"But I had no real concept of just how unhappy they were."

"That’s why I never took Wu Mu seriously and didn’t make an effort to understand his true strength or what kind of person he is."

"I only listened in on some of the rehearsals."

"And from what I’ve heard, it made me even less concerned about Wu Mu."

"He’s somewhat talented, but there’s still a big gap between us."

"That’s why, during today’s pre-competition live broadcast segment, when I saw the barrage of comments from my Hua Country fans translated into Korean, talking about the previous issue."

"I didn’t even think about it before saying, ’Thanks for the concern, fans, but I’m in good shape here.’"

"As for that contestant, I’m not paying much attention."

"I think the most important opponent in this competition is still the singer from Japan, Tsukishima Chizuru."

Hmm, that was actually quite tactful.

And it could be considered as the usual fan-pampering move by an idol.

But the message was clear: he really didn’t take Wu Mu seriously.

Wu Mu watched the barrage of mocking comments from Yi Junxi’s fans on the screen.

He didn’t have an opinion about Yi Junxi before and had no contact with him.

But now... the idol pays for the fans’ actions!

He was starting to take issue with that.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The interactive live segment ended.

At eight o’clock in the evening, the show officially began.

With the mist spewing from the stage at the front, dramatic background music started to play.

Star City TV’s host took the stage.

"Welcome to the Legendary Voice stage!"

"Wow, there’s a huge audience down there."

"Jianxing, I would’ve said the same thing about the big crowd before, but now I have to say, this crowd is nothing; the real crowd is at home and on online platforms watching our show through the live broadcast."

The host on stage continued the banter.

Introducing the format and rules of their new show.

In Wu Mu’s personal rest area, Lu Yao, who previously appeared quite confident, now seemed a bit nervous.

She leaned towards Wu Mu and whispered, "Xiao Wu, I’m a bit nervous!"

Wu Mu chuckled, "You’re not the one singing, what’s there to be nervous about?"

Lu Yao had her own logic, "But I told so many people you’re certain to win. If you lose, it’s going to be so embarrassing for me!"

Then why did you say it?

Wu Mu reassured her, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to lose."

Seriously, Yi Junxi seemed confident before, but are you more inflated with confidence than Yi Junxi?

The program officially started, and the main page of the live broadcast switched to the front stage, but the camera in the contestant’s rest area wasn’t turned off; it was still rolling.

Quite a few viewers were still hanging out in Wu Mu’s live broadcast room.

Hearing Wu Mu’s words, they were somewhat speechless.

But what made them even more speechless followed.

As the main C, as Wu Feng had previously promised, the program’s camera gave more screen time to Wu Mu.

After the front stage host finished introducing the rules, the television and main live broadcast cameras switched to a host.

Then the perspective followed this host as he knocked on Wu Mu’s rest room door.

"Wu Mu and Lu Yao," greeted the host with a full smile.

After some courteous responses,

The host smiled and said, "As you know, our show adopts a very innovative live broadcast method, and before the live broadcast started, we launched a national prediction vote to guess who the top three of this period will be, and now, the results are in my hands..."

The host paused mid-sentence and suddenly took a turn, "Wu Mu, who do you think will be in the top three?"

Wu Mu thought for a moment, "I should be the first, Tsukishima Chizuru second, Yi Junxi third?"

Ah?

Seriously, you actually made a guess!

The host originally thought Wu Mu would play along and say he didn’t know, but who could’ve expected him to actually dare to guess.

And he didn’t hesitate to put himself in first place.

Bro, that’s a bit too confident.

Trying to suppress the absurdity in his heart, the host quickly responded, "Haha, Wu Mu doesn’t seem nervous at all, based on what did Wu Mu make this prediction?"

"Just from the offline rehearsals we all had, although we rehearsed separately and couldn’t hear the whole thing, from what I heard, I guess the result won’t be far off," Wu Mu shrugged.

"Alright, let’s see what the online predictions are."

Well, they’re the polar opposite of Wu Mu’s guess.

The online predictions guessed Yi Junxi first, Tsukishima Chizuru second, Li Zhengxun third, and Wu Mu only fourth.

"Heh, Wu the dog really has no shame, guessing himself first only to be immediately proven wrong."

Everyone on the barrage was waiting to see him be the butt of the joke.

But unexpectedly,

Wu Mu looked disappointedly at the camera and said, "You’ve disappointed me. Even ranking Yi Junxi and Tsukishima Chizuru ahead is tolerable; I can only say you lack judgment. But ranking Li Zhengxun third... I have to doubt everyone’s confidence now."

It was the first time this host had encountered Wu Mu, and now he understood what ’not holding back’ truly meant.

There were really no limits to what could be said.

The explosive barrage on the side screen highlighted just how controversial those words were.

The host mumbled to himself, saying a few more lines before the camera cut back to the front stage.

The front stage also commented on how "not nervous" Teacher Wu Mu was, and with laughter, they introduced the next segment.

It was finally time for the contestants to take the stage.

The first to perform was Cai Wanhai.

Cai Wanhai sang a song called "Illusion Sea," not a new song, but a classic from Blue Star.

Listening to Cai Wanhai’s raw, emotional singing that seemed to bring out all his veins, Lu Yao became anxious again, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Hai sings so powerfully, can you win?"
