At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

At this moment, Bai Chu was already in position at the Vocal point.

"Good evening everyone, I'm Bai Chu, the lead singer of 'Silver Journey'. The band's performance just now was great, I'm sure you all enjoyed it!"

"I love it! I love it!"

"Then I'll have to work even harder, I can't let everyone down. Hehe."

Her approachable words, which even touched on the previous band, combined cuteness and emotional intelligence, once again ignited a wave of cheers from the audience.

Miya felt that this lead singer was extraordinary.

Upon closer inspection, she was wearing a minimalist white slip dress, similar to the kind of half-pajamas worn in hospitals, thin and casual, not an official stage outfit;

The skirt reached her calves, and she wore no socks. Her shoes were ribbon sandals with a slight heel.

Compared to An Qing, who was meticulously applying makeup, Bai Chu seemed completely unconcerned about the makeup and styling for this performance.

On the contrary, her teammates behind her were all fully armed and dressed very carefully from head to toe.

"interesting…"

Miya decided to listen attentively.

Let's see what her actual skill level is.

"A song dedicated to you".

Tell me what songs you like.

Tell me your preferred type.

What are you thinking about right now?

"Do you like me? Tell me."...

As her highly distinctive voice resonated throughout the venue, accompanied by electronic drum rhythms and synthesizers, all the audience members were captivated by her incredibly addictive voice, falling into a hallucinatory state from which they could not extricate themselves.

Miya hadn't really intended to appreciate it too much, after all, her team had a god-level diva, and any average contestant would be easily outclassed, like An Qing.

But now, Bai Chu's strength is no longer just online.

If we were to say that Wang Meng's vocals in the early days of the band "Water Colors" were at level 1,

An Qing's exceptional performance is 5 Dreams = 5 Units.

So Bai Chu's usual level is 10 Dream or 2 Sunshine.

In terms of vocal quality, emotional expression, singing style, emotional impact, and stage presence, it's an all-around, overwhelming victory.

"No wonder the teacher asked me to stay and keep an eye on things..."

"Is this 'Silver Journey' a hidden dark horse team?"

Miya was unaware that the team was about to face restructuring.

She simply felt that it was truly rare to encounter such a professional live performance team in a small place like Tianlai.

Focusing attention on the backstage musicians who are often overlooked.

Although they were wearing masks, black punk gloves, and tall black leather boots, covering themselves up completely,

But even after years of studying with a teacher, the kitten could still see through appearances to the essence—

"wrong."

"That guitarist looks like Hiyori-sensei."

“I recognize her instrument.”

Miya recalled the ultimate opponent she encountered in the final circle on the Mosse battlefield—

Hiyori Higashise.

As the player who ranked second in the previous Artifact Cup,

After defeating himself, this Japanese master disappeared from the music scene under an assumed name, never releasing any video works again, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Miya was well aware that her opponent's defeat was not due to a lack of skill.

Instead, her speakers seemed to malfunction on stage that day, causing the high frequencies to be slightly harsh, which resulted in the judges deducting 2 points from her "tone quality score"...

What many people don't know is that in large competitions, musicians bring their own guitars and cables, and their own effects pedals, but they can't bring their own amplifiers.

The large Marshall in the venue often requires freight transport, with several laborers moving it using small carts; it's simply beyond the control of the participants themselves.

They only had 5 minutes to adjust the sound before the match.

Hiyori had clearly raised her arm to indicate that the speaker seemed to have a problem.

But the staff and judges in the audience all seemed to ignore it...

Miya remembers this incident clearly.

No one offered to help her replace the tube box; it was too much trouble, and time was limited.

So Hiyori-sensei finished playing the piece despite the headwinds and managed to get a score of 98.

After her, it was my turn.

I'm under a lot of pressure because I already know the speakers are faulty.

but……

But it just so happens to be during the 3-minute break and transition period.

The big Marshall aircraft inexplicably started working again.

When it was my turn to play, there were no problems.

This is very strange.

Miya kept this in mind, always feeling that she hadn't won against Hiyori Higashide fairly.

"Her violin is a Suhr Modern 'Yamano Sakura'; I'd recognize it even if it were ashes."

Although the label was removed, judging from Hiyori Hidase's demeanor and performance, Miya had already discerned the incredibly serious and focused expression on her face beneath the mask.

In her memory, Hiyori's habit was "mechanical performance", which perfectly matched the band's requirements for musicians.

Every step was perfect; every note sounded like it was playing from a vinyl record.

scientific name--

"Recording quality".

Miya understood.

"If even the guitarist is a player like Hiyori..."

"And the others..."

A chill ran down her spine.

Suddenly it occurred to me that Bai Chu's team configuration was probably the second highest level after my own.

Our side is the "top-of-the-line" version.

Whether it's Ari, UU, or Xiang Shen and the fox spirit Nana, they are all top-tier, flawless lineups with no weaknesses.

The other men in black on stage, representing "Silver Travel," also seemed to be quite formidable.

"Upon closer listening, the bass rhythm is quite remarkable, isn't it? The playing style doesn't seem to be typical of Chinese people."

"The drummer has a strong sense of power, and his movements are so precise that he looks like a pro who has trained at ESP."

"There were three keyboards... surrounding him in a circle. He seemed like a gadget fanatic, doing everything by himself."

The concept of counterpoint naturally came to Miya's mind.

If the goddess hits Bai Chu...

"If the goddess sister sings casually and Bai Chu goes all out, it's a 50/50 match."

"That should be the case."

Miya has great faith in Ari because she is a follower of "Hana-hime".

So far, we have not witnessed Ari's full power.

not to mention……

With just a little bit of good looks, you can achieve a crushing victory.

This was an extra advantage outside the rules, and Miya felt that her side was truly invincible.

now.

In the band's rest area,

The group of colorful people were also watching the "Silver Traveler" performance closely on the screen backstage.

"...No wonder she's so popular, her singing is so moving. I think she has a kind of magic that draws people in."

Lin Xiao sat backwards on the stool, hugging the back of the chair with her arms, looking up at the focus of the screen with admiration.

"Yes, I've never seen a vocal style like this before."

Su Che said, "She gives people a kind of morbid comfort that can calm them down and make them listen to her songs. Her ballads can fully convey emotions, and she is so immersed in the process that she is almost unaffected by any external factors."

"..."

Hearing such comments, An Qing felt a lot of pressure, feeling that she might be outshone.

I couldn't help but ask instinctively, "What about the other musicians?"

"The other musicians..."

"They're the kind of 'military-style band' that doesn't look like much on the surface, but each member actually has incredibly high-level fundamental skills; none of them are simplistic."

Su Che said solemnly.

At this moment, Yu tide also chimed in:

"I seem to vaguely remember that keyboard, but I can't quite place it right now. Her keyboard seems to be a test model of Mosse's first-generation synthesizer released the year before last..."

I've always wanted to get my hands on one, but my dad doesn't have that kind of influence, which is a real shame.

"..."
