178: Chapter 178 Holy crap... I'm so desperate!

...It really is contagious, and it has already spread from offline to the Livestream Room.

[Holy crap, Xiang Zai is surprisingly handsome.]

[This, the guys in boy bands aren't much better than this, right?]

[Who are those two next to Xiang Zai? They seem pretty good too.]

[Seriously, I really can't do anything with you guys.]

The two Hosts with Xiang Zai were Tom and Harley.

These three were the only ones in the company who could be brought out to the stage.

Oh right, Harley is the Host for Star-Shine 002.

"Family in the venue and in the Livestream Room, I am Harley, and I am Tom."

"We welcome all our family to the performance stage of the debut night."

Host Xiang Zai: "I know that today, family, you aren't here to see the three of us; besides, the three of us aren't very handsome..."

"Xiang Zai is the most handsome..."

Before Xiang Zai could finish his sentence, a super loud male voice suddenly came from the audience seats.

"Oh..."

Hearing someone shout that he was handsome, the others joined in the uproar and started shouting too.

Xiang Zai was amused by this shout of "Xiang Zai is the most handsome." He put his hand to his ear and said: "What? I didn't hear you clearly..."

After the three Hosts adjusted the atmosphere at the venue, they went straight into today's theme.

The competition rules for the debut night were very similar to the monthly group broadcasting competitions.

Yesterday, the ten Livestream Rooms already fought a joint elimination round, and only the top twenty on the total leaderboard were selected to compete for the top 6 today.

Although only the top twenty could compete for the final spots, the people behind them still had the chance to perform on stage.

After each group performed a long dance individually, the top 20 on the total leaderboard took the stage together to start today's main event, the debut night performance stage.

The performance stage was divided into a 3-minute individual finished dance showcase, a 2-minute long dance showcase, followed by the 20-person group dance showcase, and finally, the top 6 finished group dance showcase, the individual charm showcase, and the very last dance showcase featuring the robot dancer and the 6 members together.

After the talent showcase began, the voting channels in the Livestream Room would also open, and until the very last moment, everyone could send gifts to increase their bets at any time.

Meanwhile, at Zhang Shan's villa, Shang Wu and his 5 team members were sitting upright on the sofa opposite Zhang Shan, holding tablets.

"Boss, how many gifts should we send in a while?"

"Hmm, let's start with 1,000 sets of 99 carnivals, we'll see if that's enough later."

Zhang Shan pondered for a moment, then said to Shang Wu and the others.

"Yes, Boss."

When Shang Wu and the others heard Zhang Shan say they only needed to send 1,000 sets, their expressions visibly relaxed.

It was just too torturous when they had to send thousands or ten thousand sets before.

Under the "suggestions" of some tycoon big brothers and Zhang Shan, Douyin officials also updated the large gifts.

They increased the gift quantities to groups of 10, 66, and 99.

Although it wasn't like little hearts, which could be in groups of 520, 999, or 1314.

But the maximum of 99 per group still greatly increased the efficiency of gifting.

At least it wouldn't be like last time, where clicking gifts took half an hour; that was simply too exhausting.

Host Xiang Zai: "Alright, next we will immediately enter the battle for the top six. Family in the Livestream Room, pay attention: after the voting channels open, you can add to your bets at any time. In this top six battle, there are no revivals, no holdovers, etc. The Hosts will not campaign for votes but will only perform their talents, so family, you must keep an eye on the member rankings at all times."

Host Harley: "OK, according to the lottery results, the first one to appear is our Goddess Xi Xi. Let's invite Xi Xi to bring everyone..."

Host Tom: "Please..."

"Ah..." "Wife Xi Xi..." "I love you..."

Amidst the screams at the venue, Xi Xi, dressed in a bright red cheongsam, slowly rose from the lift.

The form-fitting cut of the cheongsam further accentuated Xi Xi's figure—curvy in front and back, with a slim waist and round hips. No matter if viewed from the front or the side, it looked perfect.

Coupled with the pair of long legs revealed by the high slit of the cheongsam, that figure was simply amazing.

"Ah..."

Seeing Xi Xi appear in such an outfit, the screams of the fans at the venue grew even louder.

Even Zhang Shan, who had already experienced intimacy, couldn't help but stare when he saw Xi Xi's outfit.

How did it feel even more seductive than wearing nothing?

Hmm, tonight I'll just have her wear this outfit when she goes on the coastal flight with me.

Coastal flight. Simply put, it's flying a circle around the continental coastline from north to south. Enjoying the scenery along the way... Forget it, there's no time to enjoy the scenery.

This was the aerial trip Zhang Shan had been planning since he bought his private jet. It was also the plan he was going to execute tonight. Hmm, an aerial flight party.

However, he had to first help Xi Xi, Haha, and the other "his own people" secure the top six spots for the debut.

So when Xi Xi was performing her solo dance, Zhang Shan issued an order directly. "Tablet number one, 1,000 sets of 99 carnivals." "Received."

Shang Wu answered loudly, his fingers tapping rapidly.

[Lv75 Qingshan sent Xi Xi carnival 99 × 1 ... × 10 ... × 100]

Host Harley: "What? Who is it? Thank you, my Emperor Shan, for the first set, ten sets of carnival 99 combos... What? It's already one hundred sets of carnival 99 combos, and Emperor Shan is still clicking. Oh my god, he's still clicking..."

[Lv75 Qingshan sent Xi Xi carnival 99 × 200 ... × 600 ... × 1000] (2.97 billion diamonds)

Host Harley: "Oh my god, oh my god, thank you my Emperor Shan for the 2.97 billion love added to Xi Xi. Emperor Shan is awesome, freaking awesome. Emperor Shan, you are my male god tonight. Oh my god, oh my god..."

Harley was scared by the numbers he just said. Oh my god. He knew Emperor Shan was fierce. But he didn't expect him to be this fierce. That was nearly 3 billion votes; how did it feel like throwing 30 little hearts? Is he starting this big right from the opening? The others must be very desperate...

He didn't know about the others, but right now, Monkey King pkq was indeed desperate.

Recently, he had just settled a construction payment and was thinking of giving Lin Lin a surprise at the last moment. It just so happened that the closed management of the training camp was about to end. Watching the streamer he had slowly "raised," how could he not have a bite to repay his efforts in feeding her?

Previously, he had given up on the idea of helping Lin Lin fight for a debut spot. But unexpectedly, a very powerful big sister jumped out, which reignited his hope.

The talent show [I Want to Form a Group] had progressed to this point, and almost everyone could predict how popular the final six people who debuted would be. After debuting, the others who were eliminated would be even less comparable. It could completely be said that they had left the category of internet celebrity streamers. The difference between a streamer and a star is still quite large. It sounds better when you say it, right?

So when Monkey King pkq was clutching his construction money, full of hope, waiting for Lin Lin to appear second so he could give her a shocking boost, his fantasies were directly shattered by Zhang Shan's 3 billion votes.

Damn it. Monkey King pkq looked at the 50 million diamonds he had just topped up. Can I apply for a refund? Sorry, your top-up cannot be refunded. Damn it... I am truly so desperate.
