Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

The judge, a dark-skinned woman, praised the two of them as soon as she saw them:

"Oh, look at this lovely couple, they look like stars!"

"Since you're a duo, I'll prepare a scene for you two to act together!"

"Are you two ready?"

"Ready!" they both said in unison.

The judges nodded and began to ask questions.

She spoke slowly:

"Now, imagine the two of you, inspired by the pioneering spirit, setting foot on the dreamland of Pinocene for the first time."

"But this place is a wasteland with yellow sand everywhere, not at all the paradise the [clockmaker] described!"

"You were driving a beat-up old car across the wilderness of dreams, enduring the cold wind and choking on the yellow sand, when a ferocious memory-bound meme blocked your way..."

"Now." The judge looked at Yan Huan:

"Sir, what kind of lines would express your [disappointment] with Pinocchio?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan immediately fell into deep thought.

"Good question, let me think about it..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Yan Huan burst out cursing:

"[The Watchmaker], I'll f*** you, you stinking b*tch!"

"Excellent!" the judges applauded, exclaiming in praise.

"Very good emotional expression, then continue!"

"Next—although you are disappointed, your partner is actually very excited."

The judges looked at Liu Ying:

"Young lady, what will you say next?"

Liu Ying sniffed, raised her hands high, and said tremblingly:

"That's...that's fantastic! Dreams should be achieved by ourselves. So what if it's just a patch of yellow sand? We'll improve this place with our own hands!"

"Yes, that's perfectly reasonable!" the judge praised.

"Then came the next scene of the story—you knew that the land of dreams should be created by everyone's own hands, so you found the organization!"

"You joined their work building the railway, but you worked day and night, exhausted yourself, and finally collapsed deep in the desert..."

"Sudden!"

"The sweet rain that fell from the sky moistened your lips and awakened your fighting spirit!"

The judges looked at Yan Huan:

"Now, sir, what lines would be most suitable to express your [surprise] at this moment?"

Yan Huan looked up at the sky and recited:

"I knew early on that building roads was difficult, yet I still allowed the yellow earth to rise and the dust to settle!"

"Amidst the wind and sand, my body is like a piece of cotton; adrift in the sea of ​​stars, I journey alone!"

"Through countless trials and tribulations, the heart is forged into iron; countless star trails converge in one region!"

"Finally, the tracks lead to the place of drunken dreams, connecting the earth, people, and even the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, his aura was no longer concealed and was revealed.

[Pioneering] Destiny!

The judges held their breath and exclaimed:

"My God... this is the aura of [pioneers], it's truly amazing!"

"Then let's continue."

The judges looked at Liu Ying:

"But at this moment, your partner looks up at the sky and closes his eyes."

"Raindrops fell, blurring her vision, and she said sadly...?"

Liu Ying thought for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"...But we are just ordinary people, how could we possibly accomplish such a feat?"

"This is just a wasteland... How much effort will it take to build a dreamland? Can we really hold on until then...?"

"...Do you know how difficult it is for a person to persevere?"

Chapter 735 The shortcomings and strategies of Zhuzi

"Fantastic!" The judges were very satisfied.

"The two of you have incredibly profound skills in delivering lines!"

"However, lines are not the whole story. Please continue this tale on the second stage...!"

"Next, you will face a test of [body]."

Seeing the new path appear, the firefly began to consider retreating:

"Hopefully this ordeal won't last too long..."

The two walked up the steps made of red carpet to the second stage.

The physical judges had been waiting there for quite some time.

"In my hands, you two need to use exquisite [body language] to interpret the story I'm describing."

Seeing that the two were ready, the judges posed the question:

"Well, picking up where we left off, a heavy rain saved you from collapsing in the desert."

"The rain extinguished the anger in your heart, and you looked at your companion who had lost all fighting spirit, wanting to comfort her..."

The judges looked at Yan Huan:

"At this moment—what should you do to make her laugh?"

Yan Huan immediately looked at Liu Ying.

Following the judges' instructions, Liu Ying reverted to her earlier melancholy and emo demeanor...

"..."

"Ha, what's so difficult about that?"

Yan simply pulled out a poster from his pocket.

The poster for the upcoming Star Railway is a preview of the Honkai Impact 3rd expansion!

"Look, it's even easier to farm artifacts in the simulated universe now, and the Forgotten Court gives even more!"

Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled happily.

"...That's wonderful."

But at this moment, the judges shook their heads:

"This contestant needs to understand, this time we are testing [body language]."

"Your poster doesn't count. Please think about it again!"

"what?"

Seeing that this approach didn't work, Yan Huan started to think again.

Limbs?

Soon, he came up with a solution.

He lay directly on the ground, crawling forward like an aberrant creature...

The judges remained unmoved despite witnessing this.

Such crude behavior cannot be considered good understanding...

But the next moment, he froze.

The person Yan, who was lying prostrate on the ground in front of him, disappeared instantly, while the judge felt the touch of a sharp object on his back.

Yan Huan was now holding a dagger, pressed it against the judge's back, and sneered in his ear:

"...You didn't expect that, did you? I'm actually from the Annihilation Gang!"

next moment.

puff-

As blood splattered, the judge collapsed in shock.

Until his death... he never knew what he had done wrong.

Approximately three seconds later.

The judges stood up again, looking at their hands in horror.

"Wait... I'm not dead?"

"Such realistic acting! It felt like I was really stabbed just now!"

Upon seeing this, Liu Ying smiled gently.

"Look, she smiled!" Yan Huan immediately pointed at Liu Ying and said to the judges:

"Was it a gesture? Was she smiling?"

The judge blinked, and after thinking about it carefully, realized it was true.

"Truly superb acting skills!"
