Chapter 76 Five Years Ago: The Idol Under the Giant Screen
Chapter 76 Five Years Ago: The Idol Under the Giant Screen
【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】
3:20 PM, inside a large indoor building in the central area of Tiangong City~
The huge stadium was packed with people, every seat filled. Every seat was occupied by enthusiastic spectators.
They held brightly colored light sticks tightly in their hands, which shimmered like twinkling stars, making the entire venue look like a dream.
Some spectators excitedly waved their light sticks, creating dazzling and colorful arcs!
On the stage, a girl with dreamy blue-purple hair gracefully strode forward. Her exquisite high heels seemed perfectly suited to her feet, supporting every step of this idol girl.
However, the height and pressure brought by those high heels seemed to make one feel the excruciating pain just by looking at them, but the young girl ignored it all and continued to dance gracefully in the center of the dazzling stage.
Her dance moves were light and graceful, like a brilliant shooting star streaking across the night sky; every turn and every leap was full of power and beauty, captivating all who saw her.
Just as people were immersed in her captivating dance, her exquisite singing voice suddenly rang out.
The voice was clear and melodious, like heavenly music, instantly penetrating the entire venue and reaching the depths of people's hearts.
The audience stands~
A familiar black figure is rapidly waving a light stick, a pink gemstone ring sparkling on the ring finger of a black glove.
Since even the "God's Eclipse" manual couldn't be found to be of any use, Ming decided to keep the ring Woodman gave him on his hand, so he could give it to Shahe when she was resurrected.
Ming, who looked very excited, shouted out:
"Tsukino-chan, I'm your fan!"
Sitting to the side, engrossed in her comic book and not listening at all, Nia glanced at Ming, who was enthusiastically cheering, and for some reason, she felt like laughing, but also felt a little speechless.
After Ming sat down,
"Hey kid, are you sure this idol girl will be given a [Spirit Crystal] in a year? You're always acting like this, won't you have some mental problems?"
Ming rubbed his face, his expression turning cold again, glanced at Er Ya, and crossed his arms, saying:
“Erya, don’t forget that the [God Eclipse Chapter] is now in my hands, so you don’t need to question me.”
Erya snorted coldly, "Hmph, so what if you have the [Divine Eclipse Manual]? Nobody can predict the future... And why did you bring me here in the first place!" Her tone was tinged with anger.
"Compared to three-dimensional idols, two-dimensional idols are better, don't you understand?"
“Oh, I’m generally not interested in girls other than her. They’re either useful to me, or I probably won’t even remember their faces,” Ming replied casually.
Erya rolled her eyes.
"You really are cold-blooded. But speaking of which, how do you plan to use her? Are you going to force a collaboration like I did, or steal her spirit crystal? She's an idol, you know~"
"Judging from the current timeline, the 'east wind' I've been waiting for is about to arrive. As for taking her, I have no interest in that. You still have some value because of your intelligence after leaving the Spirit Crystal, but it would be better for me to have another combatant than to take her away."
"Oh~ so I'm that useful! Tell me about it, don't be a riddle-maker, after all, I was originally supposed to stay at home, but you dragged me here to see three or four of her concerts~"
"It will come, and I will make her willingly follow my east wind."
Ming casually glanced at the mysterious man in black standing at the front of the stage, holding a video camera.
At this moment, Ming's lips curled up slightly, forming a barely perceptible smile. This smile was like that of a venomous snake that had already set its sights on its prey.
As the song reached its climax, the cheers from the audience grew louder and louder.
Yoshino's face was filled with a happy smile; she could feel the love from her fans.
The concert was finally drawing to a close, and the host announced that the handshake segment would begin soon.
As soon as Ming saw the handshake session begin, he slowly stood up and walked towards the group. Erya muttered behind him but had no choice but to follow.
When it was Ming's turn to shake hands with Xiaotai Yuena, Xiaotai Yuena looked up at Ming and said, "As expected of Miss Xiaotai Yuena, you are full of energy today. This is my gift, you must accept it!"
Ming handed over the gift box, and after taking it, Xiaoyue smiled sweetly:
"Thank you for your support, sir. I will work hard."
Ming held her hand gently, his face full of longing. Erya covered her face and muttered to herself:
"Gangfeng Ming might have a bit of a split personality; it's an exaggeration that he can transform into a love-obsessed character from a romance anime in a second~"
After the handshake ended, Ming turned and left, and Er Ya quickly chased after him.
"You're leaving just like that? I thought I'd get to see you perform more often," Erya asked, dissatisfied. Ming didn't respond, but quickened his pace and walked out of the venue.
Later, Ming went to a secluded alley, took off his left glove, and saw that the nail on his middle finger had already been removed. Ming then took out a specially made device for receiving audio.
“Erya, I’m treating you to a big show today.” Ming said, tossing the audio receiver to Erya.
"Huh? Young man, what's wrong with you...?"
Shh, shut up, the best is yet to come.
At this moment, in Tsukino Yoshino's dressing room after the concert.
As Yui was removing her makeup in the dressing room, her manager walked in with a strange expression on his face.
"Miss Tsukino, a producer from a major TV station wants to discuss a collaboration with you today. He's in the next room right now, so please go quickly."
"Okay, I got it, I'll be right there."
Xiao Daiyue then completely removed her makeup. Hearing that her efforts had paid off, she became even happier and immediately headed to the next room.
Just then, from the pile of boxes next to the vanity, a butterfly slowly flew out of the gift box that Ming had given her, and followed closely behind the girl.
Upon reaching the next room, she carefully pushed open the door and entered.
Then she saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his face staring at her with a somewhat lewd look, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Hello, sir," Xiaodaiyue greeted him politely with a bow.
The man gestured for her to sit down, his eyes lingering on her.
"Ms. Tsukino, your performance was outstanding. Our TV station has a great program we'd like to invite you to participate," the man said.
Yoru's eyes lit up. "Thank you for your appreciation. What kind of program is it?" The man smiled and leaned forward.
"This show has a very high viewership, but the competition is fierce. However, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I guarantee you will become a big star."
Yoshino felt something was off and asked suspiciously, "Cooperate?" The man chuckled and reached out to put his hand on her shoulder. "It's just accompanying the TV station executives. It's very common in the entertainment industry."
Xiao Daiyue, terrified, hid away.
“I do not accept this approach.”
"If you don't agree, don't even think about working in this industry anymore." The man's expression changed, and he threatened angrily.
"……………………"
Just then, Ming saw this scene through the images transmitted by the butterfly, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips, and said to Erya:
"Look, isn't it disgusting? He has insulted the profession of idol. The so-called idol is someone who sells their own dreams, strives to present the most perfect image in front of the audience, accepts all the audience's emotional projections... and gives the audience all their emotional needs... but he has tarnished that."
Erya curled her lip in disdain.
"So what are you planning to do? Play the hero and save the damsel in distress? You're really not a good person."
"No, it's my personal business to judge this sinner in the future as the [Flame Beast]. As for Xiaotaiyue... she might be deceived by the demon's [Yesterday's Promise]."
Ming then walked out of the alley, with Er Ya following closely behind.
"Why don't you try writing this into your comic?" Ming asked casually as he walked along the path.
"That won't do. My manga is an action-packed manga, so I don't want to add too many dark elements."
"Oh, whatever you want. How about playing a two-player fighting game tonight? I'm just bored."
"Come on, young man, this time I will beat you to the ground!"
Who knows what will happen if I refuse that TV personality's advances? That depends on how time and fate will shape the future.
