Side Story: First Time Participating in the Diva Competition (10)
Su Xi accepted the heavy money bag, bid farewell to the caravan, and stood on the street of the town, lost in thought.
The thing to do here, naturally, is to sing.
The task shown in the script is the same as in the village: to gain fans and positive reviews by singing.
This time, however, it's a real selection competition. According to the script, there will be ten Diva coming to this town.
Of the ten Diva, only the top three can advance to the next location.
This town, currently under the jurisdiction of the Diamond Empire in the virtual world, is a small town called Cartier.
It is the selection location for the second round of the Starry Sky Diva Competition.
As a town not far from the Sen Star Person village, it is surrounded by nature, and well-cultivated plants can be seen everywhere.
If the preliminary rounds only require gaining the approval of one's clan to pass, then the second stage of the competition is much more difficult.
So as soon as Su Xi arrived here, she wanted to know what song she could sing to advance to the next round of the competition.
After all, advancing once doubles the prize money.
This is something Su Xi should try her best to do.
"Miss, please do not stand in the middle of the road."
At the sound of a shout, Su Xi snapped out of her observation and looked back.
A horse-drawn carriage was parked behind her.
Su Xi was a little speechless. The road was so wide, did you really have to walk behind me?
They then made way for the carriage to pass.
However, the carriage stopped when it reached her.
Su Xi looked at the carriage with a puzzled expression.
The car window was rolled down, revealing a black-haired girl with slightly pointed but small ears, completely different from those of the Sen Star Person, and faint, delicate fish scales visible at the corners of her eyes.
The eyes have vertical pupils.
It must be some kind of special beast race.
"I know you."
The black-haired girl smiled.
"Su Xi".
Do you know me?
That means this black-haired girl is also Diva.
Su Xi looked at the other person thoughtfully, guessing what she wanted to do.
Everyone says that competitors are those in the same industry.
"Interested in traveling with me?"
The black-haired girl extended an invitation.
"Um?"
Su Xi felt that the other person was a bit too familiar, but it didn't seem like a big problem.
It's a virtual world anyway, what problems could possibly arise?
So Su Xi nodded and got into her carriage.
"You're Diva too, aren't you?"
Otherwise, how could I possibly know her?
"Of course, you can call me Miboli, well... I'm a Diva's somewhat famous in my hometown."
Inside the carriage, Miboli, with her long black hair, smiled.
As a member of a different race, Miboli was quite in line with my aesthetic standards. Not only was she fair-skinned and beautiful, but her voice also carried a hint of coldness. If she hadn't just smiled, Su Xi would have thought she was a cold and aloof beauty. She just didn't know what race she was.
After all, she looked similar to humans, which piqued Su Xi's curiosity.
"Yes, you can also call yourself Su Xi."
Although the other party had already addressed her by her name, Su Xi still responded politely.
"Sen Star Person? This is the first time I've ever seen a living Sen Star Person in my entire life."
Miboli said, her eyes sparkling with intense interest.
Su Xi realized something; they must have come for her identity.
At the same time, I'm a little speechless.
If you can't even see the living ones, how can you expect to see the dead ones?
"Yeah, it's normal that you can't see it."
After all, they've chosen to live in seclusion. What do you think?
If you want to see it, you can only do so through some online materials or books.
Su Xi mentally complained.
Miboli thought of the Sen Star Person's current situation, and her face showed a hint of apology and nervousness. "Ah, I said this because I was really surprised. It's the first time I've seen Sen Star Person. I absolutely didn't mean anything else."
"I know, it's okay."
Su Xi shook her head.
Many people have expressed this surprise ever since she appeared in the Diva Competition.
It's nothing unusual.
Su Xi felt like she was a panda on Earth.
"To express my apology, I'll cover all of Sister Su's expenses from now on!"
Miboli learned from the Diva's video that Su Xi was born in a small village and certainly didn't have as much money as her.
Moreover, having Su Xi accompany him would allow him to study this Sen Star Person more thoroughly.
Su Xi raised an eyebrow.
So you're calling her "sister" now?
"Just call me Su Xi, and the villagers have given me money."
To be honest, calling someone "sister" or "younger sister" is really annoying unless there's a real relationship between them.
"Okay." Miboli, a little disappointed.
This clearly meant he was rejecting her.
"So, do you have a place to stay now?"
She was attracted to the good looks of this Sen Star Person, and also wanted to learn about the style of this race.
So I asked again.
"Just arrived in town, haven't looked yet."
"Do you want to come with me?"
Su Xi gave the black-haired girl a strange look before slowly nodding. "Okay."
Miboli gave a 'yay' look.
"By the way, what race are you?" Su Xi asked after answering.
Or perhaps Su Xi agreed simply because she was curious about what her race was.
Since I'll be staying somewhere anyway, I might as well use this to satisfy my curiosity.
"I am Dongling Tribe, from Third-tier Civilization, the Lingyang Galaxy."
Dongling...
After browsing the internet for a while, I discovered that the Dongling Tribe can be considered a race of lizards, and that they have tails.
But from the moment she boarded the carriage until now, Su Xi hadn't seen Miboli's tail.
Should it be inside the skirt?
Su Xi glanced curiously at Miboli's black and white layered dress.
A little while later.
The carriage stopped in front of an inn.
Su Xi and Miboli stepped off the carriage one after the other and happened to meet another Diva.
Miboli was stunned when the other party appeared.
"Xi Youlan..."
"Wow, I didn't expect we'd be facing a full-fledged Diva in the second round..."
Miboli said somewhat dejectedly.
Xi Youlan can be said to be somewhat famous in the star field, but she is not comparable to someone who is only somewhat famous in her own family.
This is a powerful Diva is qualified to represent her civilization in the competition.
"You know him?"
Su Xi glanced at the other person.
It has a pair of white wings, just like the Angel Race described on Earth.
"Yes, I know her, but she doesn't know me."
Miboli sighed, "It seems there's no first place this time."
"It's okay, there are still two places left," Su Xi comforted her.
"But we're already one less rank to advance before the game even starts. It's a lot of pressure for anyone. But there's nothing we can do. We're just unlucky to have run into such a high-class Diva right from the start," Miboli said with a hint of resentment.
Clearly, Xi Youlan's appearance dealt a significant blow to her confidence.
