Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Claire was extremely jealous of Li Nianwei. That was one thing. What was more hateful was Li Nianwei’s attitude.

You have no respect for me as a mentor! In a situation like this, you won’t even plead. Who do you think we are?! As mentors of this competition, we may not be the most powerful, but we are more than capable of preventing you from winning. It’s easy peasy! Just wait and see, you will definitely regret then!

“Alright, now that everything is clear,” Felix was a gentleman, after all. Actually, he was shocked when he first saw Li Nianwei. The little lady that was with Li Nianwei possessed surpassing beauty as well. Felix was more than willing to be the peacemaker. “It is common to have a little conflict backstage. It’s just that things are a little more serious this time. Since there’s nothing else, everyone disperse. Go back and get ready. The competition will begin soon.”

“En, okay. Let’s do that.” Frank waved his hands. “Go get ready.”

Since everything was settled, the four mentors looked at each other and then left.

It looks like there might be some unexpected situations in this battle between a hundred cities. When Claire returned to her seat, she was still a little dissatisfied. “This Li Nianwei has no respect for us. I know she’s popular and pretty, but she should not behave in this manner, right? No matter what, she’s a newcomer and we’re mentors. She’s too much!”

“Okay, okay.” Felix smiled. “Don’t think about this first. To be so popular, she should be quite talented. En, let’s just do what we need to do. It’s just that the 20%...”

It was okay to sneer and ridicule backstage. It was even okay if fights broke out. But if the situation got out of hand and affected too many contestants, it would be bad. Hence, according to regulations, when such things happened, 20% of the score given by the mentors would be deducted as punishment.

Correspondingly, for the affected contestants, the mentors’ scores would rise slightly.

As for how their performance on stage, there was nothing much that needed to be said—if a little bit of ridicule affected their mood, that was how the entertainment circle was. It did not matter whether it was good or bad.

As the champion of the last Sing! Milky Way competition, Claire’s mental state was very good. The problem was that she had always been treated with care. Other than Galaxy Aristocrats, everyone treated her like a big star.

Who does she think I am?

Hence, Clarie was furious. She had even prepared to see how Li Nianwei would disgrace herself later. action

At this time, in the backstage, due to the appearance of the mentors, everyone became a little braver. But facing Li Nianwei, they tried not to agitate her—this woman looked very indifferent, but she was not someone who they could mess with.

Seeing that the four mentors had returned to their seats, the host whispered, “Is the matter in the backstage settled? How is it? I need to answer to the audience.”

“It’s settled.” Claire smiled. “Li Nianwei affected a large number of contestants from performing their best. 20% of her score given by mentors will be deducted.” This was an agreed decision and the other three mentors nodded their heads.

“This...” The host was shocked. “It’s Miss Li Nianwei?”

“That’s right.” Claire was certain. “The Li Nianwei who had a support rate of 85 million.”

“Alright, dear ladies and gentlemen!” Receiving this piece of shocking news, the host announced the continuation of the competition. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Something happened backstage. According to the four mentors, contestant Miss Li Nianwei caused some disruptions to a large number of the other contestants’ performances. Hence, out of the score given by the mentors, 20% will be deducted as punishment!”

When the host said that, the audience exploded!

“Oh my God, is that true?! 20% of her score from the mentors will be deducted, there’s no chance for her winning!””Li Nianwei ah, I’m here to see her especially. Now you’re telling me 20% of her score from the mentors will be deducted?! What are they up to? A competition of such a scale, one point makes a lot of difference!”

“It’s finished, finished. I thought Li Nianwei would win. It seems that it’s impossible now.”

“Hahahaha, aiya, that is as good as eliminating Li Nianwei. Caroline from our Sen Ling City will definitely be the champion!”

This caused discussion among the audience. There were countless different sayings.

On Hong Dali’s end, Yin Tianzong got anxious. “Dali, what did you ask Sister Nianwei to do backstage? What caused such a big reaction?” Yin Tianzong had watched countless Sing! Milky Way performances. He was aware of the situations that could arise backstage. But he never thought something so big would happen. 20% of her score from the mentors would be deducted!

Sing! Milky Way, battle of one hundred cities, the final championship was divided into three segments.

In the first segment, the Audition Stone would evaluate the contestants. This was the most important step. The evaluation was mainly based on the contestants’ foundation. As a singer, the foundation was very important. Without the most basic foundation, all else was useless.

In the second segment, the four mentors would give an overall score of the songs based on melody, rhythm, lyrics, and so on. An average of four mentors’ scores would be the final score for the second segment.

At this time, the scores from the first and second segments would be added up and multiplied by 100.

The third segment was the most exciting battle between a hundred cities, the support rate of one hundred cities!

In this segment, one hundred main cities, all the audience who liked Sing! Milky Way would choose the contestant they liked the most. Every three million people who supported them could exchange for one point.

Three hundred million people would equate to one hundred points. And for the battle between 100 cities, since there were 100 cities, the total number of people was close to 50 billion. Which meant to say, among so many contestants, the support rate of the person who could possibly win had to be about three billion. Divided by three million, that would be about 1,000 points.

In this situation, Li Nianwei’s scores from the mentors would be deducted by 20%. That meant that even if all four mentors gave 100 points, she would only get 80 points.

How could she make up for the twenty points? Simple, she just needed the support of 60 million more people.

The problem was, it sounded easy, but achieving it would be a feat.

In this battle between 100 cities, there was almost no difference in the support rate. In the past years, the difference in the support rate between the final champion and runner-up was only between ten to twenty million. Before Li Nianwei was able to compete, she already had 60 million worth of support deducted. If it were anyone else, they would have been devastated.

Of course, it did not matter if others were devastated. Hong Dali was definitely not devastated.

He just smiled and comforted Yin Tianzong. “I only asked Xinxin and Sister Nianwei not to feel aggrieved backstage. Anyway, they are Elemental revolving mages. If someone provokes them, they just have to fight back. Hehe, it seems they must have had fun backstage.”

Rubbish, could they not have fun? One thousand people kneeling neatly...

“Sister Nianwei, seems it’ll be difficult for you to win this time.” Backstage, Tang Muxin was like Hong Dali. She smiled indifferently. “But with Sister Nianwei’s ability, if you sing that song, hehe...”

“I just want to sing one song properly,” Li Nianwei smiled and hugged Tang Muxin gently. “for Young Master.”

“En, for Dali. Do your best!”

...

In the middle of the stage, after the host had conveyed the situation backstage, when everyone quietened down, he shouted, “In that case, let’s continue the competition! I believe the competition will only get more exciting from now on. Let’s invite our next contestant on stage!”

Everyone applauded enthusiastically and stretched their necks, anticipating the competition.

One had to admit, the mentors did an effective job. The next contestant’s performance was much more normal. The Audition Stone also gave high scores of 82, 86, and 85. The score given by the four mentors were 88, 81, 87, and 84. The overall score was quite good.

...

On the spectator stand.

Hong Dali and a big bunch of people sat together and laughed as they watched the competition.

“Young Master,” Lucifer looked bored. “How long more do we have to wait? It’s only the 58th singer...”

“Yes.” Hong Dali was not worried about the results at all. It was just that these singers’ performances were too boring. The most important thing was, Li Nianwei was not here. Even if Hong Dali wanted to lie down, there was no one for him to lie on. “Forget it, let’s be patient. How about we do something else? Aye, oh yes, the s in this place don’t seem very interesting! How about I return to Earth and ask that guy to move the Bookstore here? The s here are really so-so, just that the scale of things is more powerful than on Earth!”

Of course it was stronger. The s here were almost all graphics.

Other than words, the s here were accompanied by expressions and sounds, which made it very enjoyable. Of course, in terms of content, it was just so-so. There was not much difference between the content of each . There were quite a few of those famous masterpieces about forbidden love. But Hong Dali had no interest in them—he liked books that were enjoyable from the start till the end. Stories about rags to riches, master of the universe, harem, etc. He would never read stories about beautiful, devastating, love!
