182: Chapter 182 The Robot Dancer Makes Her Debut
The final group dance concluded, signaling that the final results for the night were in. With the dance finished, the voting also closed.
Host Xiangzai said, "Alright, I now announce that the voting channel for the Debut Night is officially closed. Next, I will reveal the final Top Six for this Debut Night to all our family members. They are, Xi Xi!"
"Ah..." "Xi Xi, my wife..." As Xiang Zai announced the first name, screams erupted from the audience once again.
Xiang Zai's voice continued, "Haha! Wanzi! Xiaoyu! Xuexue! Su Qi! Let us congratulate these six goddesses on becoming the strongest six-member group. Tonight will be their Debut Night. Next, let us enjoy a wonderful performance brought to us by the strongest girl group of the Xingyao Training Camp, Star-Shine X."
After Xiang Zai finished speaking, the stage lights immediately went out, and then a spotlight hit the far left of the stage. There, Xi Xi was ready. She walked confidently toward the center of the stage, facing the light. As she slowly walked to the center, the audience realized that two backup dancers dressed exactly like her were following behind her.
They moved with synchronized steps, and after a short distance, the music started. The three of them immediately began to dance on the spot. Their movements were perfectly uniform, as if they had been carved from the same mold.
Some observant audience members noticed that the two backup dancers behind Xi Xi were not only wearing the same style of cheongsam as her, but their hairstyles and hair accessories were also identical. If there was any difference, the only one was that the backup dancers behind Xi Xi were wearing masks. Oh, and their cheongsams seemed to have been specially treated; not a single inch of skin was exposed.
However, the audience's attention was on Xi Xi, who was the main star. Even if they noticed the difference, they just assumed it was a design choice to highlight Xi Xi. After Xi Xi danced for a while, another spotlight hit the left side of the stage. Haha appeared in the light, and behind her were two backup dancers with figures very similar to hers.
The two backup dancers followed Haha's dance moves, dancing in perfect synchronization behind her. Such uniform dance movements drew waves of screams from the audience. The comments in the Livestream Room were also marveling at how willing the company was to invest resources. Such an incredible backup dance troupe was definitely world-class. Every movement was identical to the lead dancer, Haha. Moreover, with their height and build being extremely similar, it looked just like a shadow clone technique.
Next, every time someone appeared, they were followed by two backup dancers with the same outfit and build. The audience at the venue was screaming, while the viewers in the Livestream Room kept flooding the chat with comments.
[The organizers put in a lot of effort. Where did they find such an awesome shadow dance troupe?]
[It's truly awesome. Brothers, did you notice? When Haha and Xi Xi perform the same move, they are out of sync, but the shadow dancers behind them are still performing exactly like them. This is insane.]
[Yeah, I saw it too. They really live up to the name 'shadow dancers,' focusing solely on the movements of their lead dancer.]
[People with such dancing skills are truly rare. For the organizers to find so many of them, they really put in the effort. Their money wasn't earned in vain.]
By this time, the six of them, including Xi Xi, had joined together and were dancing their first group dance since their debut. The backup dancers behind them were also focused on their movements, dancing exactly like them. The people on stage danced with charisma to the dynamic music, while the audience below swayed their bodies to the music, letting out screams from time to time.
Just as everyone was immersed in this wonderful stage performance, the music suddenly changed, and the climax from earlier played once more. The audience let out a collective scream, preparing to sway along with the rhythm of the idols on stage.
Then, they saw the backup dancers behind Xi Xi and the others suddenly grab their cheongsams and rip them off. The cheongsams on the 12 backup dancers were torn off with the sound of fabric ripping.
The audience at the venue and in the Livestream Room thought a stage accident had occurred, and the "what the f*ck" exclamations they were about to shout were choked back by the scene on stage. Immediately after, even louder screams and shouts of "what the f*ck" erupted.
They saw that the 12 backup dancers, who were previously wearing various colored cheongsams, revealed their true bodies after tearing off the dresses. The precise mechanical structures and the cold-colored metal skeletons proved beyond a doubt that these 12 shadow dancers were not human.
The cameraman on site even gave close-up shots of the robots' joints and other parts. Especially the hollowed-out sections of the mechanical structure, which allowed everyone to see that they were indeed not real people. Yes, they were truly not human. They were Robot Dancers.
The Robot Dancers, having torn off their cheongsams to reveal their original metal bodies, continued to dance along with Xi Xi and the others on stage. The dance moves were the same as before, uniform and without a single flaw.
"Ah..." The screams at the venue rose another octave. This was just too sci-fi. So the backup dancers were actually robots. Looking at their coordinated dance steps, if they hadn't taken off their clothes, everyone would have thought they were real people.
[Holy sh*t, I was about to grab a magnifying glass when they ripped off their clothes, and this is what you show me?]
[This is too awesome. Does anyone know which company this robot belongs to?]
[No idea, but none of the companies I'm familiar with can currently make robots like this.]
[Damn, is my robot stock about to take off?]
Just as everyone was marveling at the incredible robot technology, the music on site repeated the climax once more. This time, the Robot Dancers directly removed the masks from their faces, revealing unusually exquisite features underneath.
The faces of the Robot Dancers were a bit different from real people, looking more like characters from a 2D anime. However, that wasn't the key point.
The cameraman gave the Robot Dancer another close-up of its face, then the camera slowly pulled back, and Haha, who was next to it, also appeared in the close-up shot. When Haha and the Robot Dancer were in the same close-up frame, everyone realized. It turned out that the Robot Dancer's facial expressions were actually identical to Haha's.
"Ah...?" "Wow...?" The screams from the audience were filled with questions. How the f*ck was this done? The comments in the Livestream Room exploded, but what they were more concerned about wasn't how the facial synchronization was achieved, but rather...
[Someone tell me, when is this robot launching? I'll sell my house and land to buy one, damn it...]
[Have digital girlfriends become reality?]
[This is the gospel for otaku.]
[Quickly tell me which company's product this is, I'm going to buy their stock until it explodes...]
[Brothers, tell me when it hits the market, my girlfriend needs an update.]
[Brothers, I want to ask, is there a male version of this?]
[What kind of thing just snuck in?]
[Brothers, don't misunderstand, I'm a girl.]
[Back off, back off, don't touch me.]
