Side Story: First Time Participating in the Diva Competition (Complete)

Although the semi-finals were nearing their end, the number of spectators present did not decrease. After all, being able to hear high-class Diva perform for them every day was an invaluable experience for these NPCs.

But today they discovered that the one who took the stage was not Fang Cao Yu, the Diva who could take them into the fantasy world.

Instead, it was another Diva I was meeting for the first time.

The NPCs looked at each other in bewilderment, discussing who this Diva was and whether she had ever sung any songs.

It took them quite a while to learn the Diva's identity through rumors.

"Can she sing out a new era for the Diva? Hmm... I'm kind of looking forward to it."

"But with so many people here, with so many voices in our hearts, can she really sing them out? I doubt it."

"This Diva is the same type as Fang Cao Yu, they're both very cute."

Discussing arose from the audience.

Meanwhile, discussions and arguments arose among the onlookers and Su Xi's fan base.

However, everyone can understand why Su Xi chose this stage. As Diva without vocal power, she must play to her strengths and avoid her weaknesses. Xi Youlan, Yu Feixiang, and Shui Lingjiao are three Diva who have been famous for a long time and have many fans. Many of them also have a bad impression of Su Xi.

In comparison, only Fang Cao Yu, a newly debuted Diva like herself, remained. Su Xi had no other choice but to select her.

Stand on the stage.

Su Xi glanced at the audience below the stage, smiled slightly, and then began to have the Melody Assistant prepare to construct the next image.

Fang Cao Yu's abilities are neither particularly strong nor weak, but she can at least give others a sense of immersion. Although she can create a similar effect by using the influence of the virtual world, the sensory impact is still not as good as Fang Cao Yu's.

Moreover, she never intended to beat Fang Cao Yu. She just wanted to create a similar effect to Fang Cao Yu, satisfy the NPCs and the audience, and get them to vote her into the top twenty.

After all, the prize money for entering the finals is three times that of the semi-finals. As for the prize money for the top three, with Xi Youlan and the others around, Su Xi didn't expect much. In fact, Su Xi felt that her luck had played a huge role in getting her into the finals.

It's worth noting that she had absolutely no singing experience before participating in this Diva Competition.

If it weren't for her good voice, decent looks, and extensive music library, Su Xi might have been eliminated in the first round.

Su Xi stood in the center of the stage, and as the audience below began to murmur, the entire sky near the northern stage was suddenly plunged into a half-light, half-dark environment.

Heavy snowflakes fell from the sky.

If this scene was created by Fang Cao Yu, she could also make NPCs and viewers feel the cold of a snowy world.

Unfortunately, Su Xi could only create images.

A melody filled with melancholy and loneliness began to play.

Su Xi put herself in the mindset of that ice queen.

Fang Cao Yu's appearance also greatly inspired Su Xi. Why was Fang Cao Yu, a newly debuted Diva, able to get help from those Starry Sky Diva? It was because of her ability to bring fantasy into the world.

I can also achieve this using images.

The Bai Xue glows white on the mountain tonight.

Not a footprint to be seen (the footprints behind me are buried)

This song doesn't express the feelings of the NPCs present, but rather the feelings of the audience.

As Su Xi's fans and viewers, Su Xi knew that these people were wronged. They originally just liked her singing, or they followed Su Xi because of her inexplicable popularity, but they found that their posts were being targeted.

I went to clarify this matter, and I was even scolded by those Diva's fans.

Do you think they are not wronged?

Of course she felt wronged.

But Su Xi cannot stand up and speak out, because her personal involvement will only escalate and worsen the incident, and will also increase the number of her haters.

Therefore, she chose to release her emotions through singing.

She wanted to tell the audience that she knew their grievances and that they shouldn't care. She believed that only with a strong enough heart could all evil spirits be fleeting.

"A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen."

The wind howls like this swirling storm inside.

The onlookers began to notice the metaphors in Su Xi's singing and became excited.

"Is Su Xi cursing those Diva who are targeting her?"

"Definitely! They're a group of influential people banding together to ostracize her. If it were me, I'd give them a good dressing down too!"

Excited discussions began to rise.

Su Xi's singing continued.

Through the video, she perfectly recreated the scene from the music video of "Let It Go" on stage.

Standing on the stage at this moment, she seemed like the Snow Queen who had truly been rejected, filled with grievances and helplessness.

"Couldn't keep it in, Heaven knows I've tried."

The oppressive melody suddenly shifted, becoming somewhat panicked.

Don't let them in, don't let them see.

"Be the good girl, you always have to be."

Yu Qingyu's eyes widened immediately.

"This song is not only about myself, but also about those pure-voiced Diva!"

After Diva with powerful voices began to rise to prominence, the living conditions of Diva with pure vocal voices became more oppressive.

Most female Diva can sing in public now work as underground singers or singers in red-light districts. They can only pursue their dreams by doing jobs that cannot be done in public, otherwise they will face suppression from the Heaven-Sent Diva.

These two lines about the Diva, coupled with the time Su Xi was oppressed, seemed to make Yu Qingyu feel the plight of those pure-voice Diva.

Yu Qingyu was deeply shocked. He hadn't expected that Su Xi's song contained so much meaning.

Is the tune of rebellion about to begin?

After suppressing it for so long, it's time to start rebelling!

If it really turns out to be pretty much what I thought, then this song will definitely become the rebellion anthem of pure vocal Diva!

Conceal yourself, don't feel.

Don't let them know.

Well, now they know.

Su Xi's panicked expression turned firm, and then she took off her gloves and threw them away!

Yu Qingyu felt a surge of excitement; the tune of rebellion was about to begin!

Let it go.

Let it go.

"Can't hold it back anymore (it can't be hidden anymore)"

As soon as the "anymore" note disappeared, the oppressive cloud hanging over the hearts of all the audience members instantly dissipated, leaving them feeling refreshed and invigorated, and they showed admiration for the girl on stage.

Singing in accordance with others' wishes will satisfy them.

But if your singing voice successfully captivates others, they will admire you. This is a stage that Diva with powerful voices can easily achieve.

Now, even without the power of sound, Su Xi can achieve this!

Even those nitpickers who wanted to find fault with Su Xi with a magnifying glass had to admire the girl's singing voice.

The uplifting melody continues!

Let it go (ignore it)

Let it go (don't be afraid)

Turn away and slam the door.

I don't care what they're going to say.

Let the storm rage on.

The cold never bothered me anymore.

The first melody has come to an end.

A carefree smile appeared on Su Xi's face, and the melody began to become light and cheerful.

Yu Qingyu, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up, her expression becoming even more shocked.

He couldn't utter any more words of shock.

Given the oppression faced by pure-voiced Diva, this song has the potential to become a timeless masterpiece!

What countless previous Starry Sky Diva failed to achieve, a pure-voice Diva has actually accomplished!

Su Xi's performance has attracted a lot of attention.

Especially those Starry Sky Diva who use underhanded tactics behind the scenes.

Everyone frowned upon seeing Su Xi's performance.

It's outstanding, it's perfect.

Unfortunately, her position is not perfect, and so this song is not perfect.

"However, this song has given her a golden reputation."

"If we use any more methods, I'm afraid those pure-voice Diva will unite."

Although pure-voice Diva pose no threat whatsoever, the power of their voices is like a natural Wall of Mary, a wall that pure-voice Diva can never overcome no matter how hard they try.

But these Diva don't want to see pure vocal Diva unite.

If they continue to use their methods to bully Su Xi, it might accelerate the unification of the Pure Voice Diva.

"We can make a slight concession. It's been a long time since we've had such an outstanding Diva in the pure vocal Diva, but she can't take first place. Whether she's second or third doesn't matter."

After internal discussions, Starry Sky Diva finalized Su Xi's ranking.

Because "Let It Go" has become Su Xi's golden rule, unless Su Xi has a bad performance and sings the wrong song, she basically has no chance of falling out of the top three.

Soon, the organizers of the Starry Sky Diva Competition received information from a certain direction.

The supervisor frowned and relaxed repeatedly, finally letting out a sigh.

The combined power of all the previous Starry Sky Diva is too great. Even though Su Xi has shown great potential, the Diamond Civilization does not dare to disobey the Starry Sky Diva's advice.

In the past, the Starry Sky Diva rarely interfered with the competition, but this time Su Xi, the dark horse, really scared them.

The final performance featured an ice palace rising from the ground in Su Xi, which closed its doors and then came to an end.

Miboli excitedly hugged Su Xi.

"Your singing is beautiful, and this dress is gorgeous too! I declare that, Miss Su, from today onwards, you are my idol!"

"Okay, okay."

Su Xi patted Miboli's head and echoed her.

She put a lot of effort into this singing performance, and rehearsed it many times in private to avoid any unexpected incidents.

She used to think that singing required dancing, so she even planned to dance on the semi-final stage.

With her current physical condition, she can learn any dance she wants just by watching it once.

But Fang Cao Yu inspired Su Xi, ultimately leading her to choose to perform and sing at the same time.

Undoubtedly, this performance received a tremendous response from both the NPCs and the audience.

Two days later, the semi-finals ended.

Su Xi entered the finals in fifth place.

The final stage will be held in the capital palace. There will be very few NPCs on site, but the stage will be broadcast live to the entire virtual continent. So even NPCs who cannot enter the palace can still see the Diva's performance.

The finals will be held in three days.

The Diva can first enjoy life in the virtual continent within the capital, and also communicate with their audience and fans to solidify their relationship with them.

During these three days, Su Xi had contact with other Diva.

Xi Youlan came to encourage her. To be honest, when the rumors about the Diva bullying Su Xi first started, Xi Youlan was the first to leave. Her actions undoubtedly provided strong evidence for these rumors.

Otherwise, why would she stop appearing on stage once such comments are made?

If they insist on continuing to perform, Su Xi will have no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage as well.

Therefore, in a certain respect, Xi Youlan actually helped Su Xi.

In addition, considering that she had initially pointed out the problem with Miboli, Su Xi still had a good impression of her.

As for the other Diva, Shui Lingjiao was the most hostile towards her because she felt that Su Xi was from the same advanced civilization as her, and that among these Diva, only Su Xi was worth paying attention to, while the others were not worth considering.

Fang Cao Yu didn't show any emotion, but having learned the other party's methods, she must have felt somewhat unhappy.

However, Su Xi didn't care about any of that.

She participated in the Diva Competition only for the money, and then disappeared after receiving it.

After that, nothing else concerned her.

Soon, the finals arrived as scheduled.

Su Xi won third place with her rendition of "My Heart Will Go On".

Because of "Let It Go", Su Xi won third place very easily this time. In addition, many pure voice Diva learned about Su Xi's voice and mobilized their friends and family to vote for Su Xi, which increased her evaluation score a lot.

Ultimately, it's unclear whether this ranking reflects Su Xi's true ranking or was intentionally manipulated by the authorities.

In short, Su Xi won third place in this year's Starry Sky Diva Competition and received a large amount of prize money, including song signing bonuses.

Having suddenly become rich, Su Xi naturally spent a few days having fun with Alif before continuing her journey to Senxing.

During the teleportation, she encountered many strange organizations that wanted to capture her, but Su Xi wiped them all out.

Although Su Xi's strength was only at level IV, Lei Fa's strength was a genuine level V. Lei Fa thunder in his left hand and lightning in his right, shattering these organizations into pieces.

Su Xi then obtained a large amount of Star Dome Ore from the wrecked starships of these organizations.

This foreshadowed her later smuggling crimes and the subsequent blacklisting of her reputation Diva.
