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

The warm-up performance was so perfect that the feedback from the audience far exceeded the expectations of the performers on stage.

For Ling Yao, today was another opportunity to fully enjoy the stage with his senior. It wasn't just the simple stage he had initially imagined, but a stage where he was protected and taken care of, allowing him to perform at his best.

Just before they left the stage, all the spotlights shone on them, a scene that would be etched into their memories and preserved until the very end of their lives.

While feeling grateful, Ling Yao developed feelings for someone that crossed the line.

"The perfect performance has come to an end! Let's give a warm round of applause to express our gratitude to Mercury Plus for their performance!"

Thank you for their wonderful performance! Next up is our main band for tonight – "Seven Colors"! Let's wait patiently for 15 minutes for the hidden intermission segment – ​​a heavenly revelry!

The host's voice was incredibly captivating. Come to think of it, a regular show like Tianlai wouldn't normally hire a professional MC to control the flow and give a shout-out. But today was special, so Mr. Zhang, in a moment of inspiration, added a "mooncake airdrop" segment for the audience.

The various fillings of mooncakes, as well as sweets and pastries, are placed into small bags and then thrown from the stage to the audience by the host, similar to Santa Claus throwing candy.

But what's different is that there's a "grand prize" package inside...

"Attention everyone! In tonight's event, there's an SSR super rare gift box! Inside is a 'Sky Live Wish Slip'!"

If you're lucky enough to win, you can choose one of the musicians who will be on stage tonight, get their autograph, and even have the chance to hug and shake hands with them! Let's all look forward to seeing who the lucky winner will be tonight!

"?!"

"Such a good thing!"

"My God, there are two or three hundred people here. I think there are at most seventy or eighty packs of mooncakes in that bag. The probability of getting a gift box is already less than one-third, and the probability of getting a note inside is even lower..."

Forget it, let's just eat some mooncakes.

The audience eagerly awaited the host to begin the event.

The host was a middle-aged man wearing a white suit and a bright red tie.

He strode onto the stage, beaming, wearing shiny black leather shoes, holding a microphone in one hand and carrying a large bag in the other. He then addressed Ling Yao and the others:

"After your performance, you can go backstage and watch the next performance for free. Oh, right, contestant Su Che can't leave; he can go backstage to prepare."

"Ok."

Su Che nodded in agreement, placed the zither on the stand, and smiled at Ling Yao, causing the latter to blush and her heart to race.

Only then did he slowly turn around and head backstage.

The remaining three women split into two teams.

Bai Chu didn't watch the performance; she went straight to the waiting room with Su Che.

Lingyao and Yui were very interested in the event. After packing up their instruments, they chose to go to a safer corner of the VIP area to continue watching.

At this moment, seeing everyone in their places, the host subtly glanced at a man at the very back of the center of the first floor.

Upon receiving the signal, he narrowed his eyes slightly, a slick smile playing on his lips, and opened the bag he was carrying. Then, in a grand display of force, he tossed the numerous "red brocade pouches" inside into the audience below.

"Everyone who sees this gets a share! A total of 255 tickets were sold tonight, and we have 85 gift boxes!"

Each package contains 8 soft and chewy pastries, a mooncake, a Tianlai logo stamp, and a bracelet!

Players who pull an SSR can redeem their reward on the spot! If you're too embarrassed to claim it later, you can do so through the system! Don't worry about anything else! Good luck everyone!

With a bang, the ribbon machine, which had been hidden on the second floor, suddenly started working, spraying out a large amount of colorful ribbons with a festive atmosphere.

Meanwhile, fog machines and bubble machines began to spray out scented water mist and foam.

Taking advantage of the flurry of colorful ribbons and flying brocade pouches, the host suddenly put one hand behind his back!

With the speed of a cheater in a card game, he accurately threw the brocade pouch tucked in his belt at Ling Yao's small face on the right side of the first row!

Everyone's attention was drawn to the ribbons and such, and their vision was mostly blocked, so how could they notice this operation?

Before Ling Yao could even regain his footing, he felt something tap him on the head...

Despite the pain, she picked up the brocade pouch that had fallen to her chest.

"Wow! No way? Aya, you're so lucky! You're the only one who got a gift box on our side!"

Yui came over to congratulate them, clapping her little hands and asking eagerly, "Can I have a few of the candies inside?"

"of course."

Ling Yao has always been easygoing, so he naturally wouldn't hold back on the food. He simply opened the brocade pouch right in front of Yui—

next interest.

I saw a white paper airplane.

"!?"

"I'll blanch it..."

Yui realized something and immediately pointed at the brocade pouch in the girl's hand, as if to shout, "Could it be... enjoying the privileges of musicians?! Ugh! Ugh...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ling Yao covered her mouth tightly with his hand, preventing her from making a sound.

Meanwhile, the girl's face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed.

If I heard correctly, she understood what the host meant: open the SSR card, and you can choose to hug, shake hands, take a photo with, or ask for an autograph from the musician.

In her eyes, these benefits could be completely converted into hugging, shaking hands, taking photos with, and getting his autograph from Su Che.

What's wrong with me...? How could I be so lucky today...?

The girl was a little confused.

If the opportunity to perform on the same stage was already a stroke of inspiration, then the successful performance just now and the amazing perks now completely exceeded my expectations.

Being selected as a lucky audience member means increasing contact.

Increased contact means more potential for future interactions.

Could it be that my great luck has finally arrived...?

The girl released her small hand that was restraining Yui and murmured to herself.

"Wow! Aya! You've really had a lucky day today! Hurry up and open that thing and take a look. Also, when are you planning to go collect your prize?"

"Don't rush. Don't rush."

Ling Yao slowly turned her back to the people and opened the paper airplane in the corner of the brocade pouch.

In the dim light of the venue, I saw the words "Congratulations! You have obtained a link to LeSports!" written above.

The problem is that after the next sentence, "The musicians you can choose are...", everyone except Su Che's name is blacked out.

"???"

"So it was true? There's something fishy going on?"

Yui wasn't stupid. When she saw that the rewards could only be redeemed for Su Che's, she immediately realized that this event seemed to be quite targeted... at least not for her.

Now, his former teammates were getting a little envious...

"Xiao Ling... this is so unsportsmanlike... did you bribe Boss Zhang or the host? This kind of behavior is unreasonable..."

Faced with her envious gaze, Ling Yao simply responded with "It's none of my business, I don't know what happened," and didn't even share the candy with Yui, instead keeping it all for herself, including the paper airplane!

What a joke! Can the camaraderie between teammates compare to connecting with your sweetheart?

Ling Yao stated that failing to seize opportunities is simply a waste of time and irresponsible towards one's own life.

She didn't want to miss any more "good luck," especially without being noticed by anyone. So she grabbed the paper airplane and ran upstairs along the corner of the wall to claim her prize from Mr. Zhang.

Brother Zhang was quite surprised to see that she had received it.

After all, although he set up the event, the participants should theoretically be chosen randomly. How could it be such a coincidence that Ling Yao intercepted the opportunity?

What he didn't know was that the MC invited today... was dispatched by "Lingyun Media".

"Don't worry, you've already got it, so what's there to say? Just go to the musicians' dressing room after the performance and wait for them to leave. I'll take you there."

Brother Zhang said that with him involved, Su Che would definitely cooperate.

Ling Yao was relieved and thanked him profusely.

……

After intermission, the performance continued.

Su Che's reappearance immediately captivated the audience—

"Frog Fun, it's a new skin!"

"Seven Colors has a new skin!"

"Do you have the same one? Can I order one? If not, some other merchandise would be fine too!"

"I knew I made the right choice in supporting this group... Everyone's outfits are amazing! This is probably the first time we've seen something like this in person. Sigh, the food was just too good..."

Faced with the sincerity of the team, the audience cheered loudly, and their recognition of the team soared.

The performance hasn't even started yet, and the audience is already getting excited; the visual impact is absolutely top-notch.

"Thank you all for your support! Tonight, we will be performing a medley of 8 songs! Three of them are new songs! Please look forward to it!"

An Qing's sweet voice emanated from the speakers, covering the entire venue.

Gu Zhi, Yuan Xiao, Yu tide, and Lin Xiao took their positions, waiting for Su Che to raise his hand to give a signal.

In the second phase of the "seven-colored" team, it is obvious to discerning observers that the ecological niche has already changed.

In the first phase, Yu tide was the core of the team because she was the initiator and had the highest technical skills, making her the undisputed decision-maker.

Now, due to the emergence of "centripetal force," people are gradually shifting from "meritocracy" to "liking-based philosophies."

Therefore, Su Che became the only piece of meat coveted by all the women, and inevitably became the core of the family.

As for the three stages to come...

This is the "battle for the title of mistress" stage, at which point the competition will reach its climax and the outcome will be unknown.

"The first song, 'Rosehip Tea,' is dedicated to everyone!"

As Su Che raised his hand and waved, Yuan Xiao's strumming and small drumbeats exploded simultaneously.

Gu Zhi's bass line was precise, and Su Che's repetitive main melody was extremely catchy.

An Qing smiled, her hearing picking up on the electronically synthesized voice embellished by Yu tide, and slowly began to speak—
