National Top 100 Competition Begins

"Go, Brother Mu!"

"Go, Brother Mu, crush them!"

Beneath Jiangrong Satellite TV's famous "Underwear Building," Fat Tiger and Zhang Hen were seeing Lin Mu off.

Speaking of Jiangrong Satellite TV's office building, it was well-known throughout the entertainment industry.

The designer of this building, perhaps without peanuts to go with their drinks, designed this office tower into a crooked shape resembling the character "门" (mén, meaning door).

From a distance, it looked like a pair of large underpants.

Hence its nickname, the "Underwear Building."

At this moment, under this "Underwear Building," Fat Tiger's round face was full of bravado:

"Brother Mu, if any of the judges dare not vote for you later, we'll leak their dirt!"

Zhang Hen nodded silently.

Lin Mu said helplessly, "Brothers, our club is undergoing a transformation. Stop talking about leaking people's dirt all the time. Let's be more civilized."

He then asked Zhang Hen, "You've been keeping an eye on Zhou Yiyi lately, have you found anything?"

Zhang Hen had been tailing Zhou Yiyi and had just returned yesterday.

"Zhou Yiyi has a girlfriend."

Zhang Hen replied.

Fat Tiger slammed his fist, "Damn it, this bastard is still maintaining a single persona. He already has a girlfriend and scammed so much money from my sister!"

Lin Mu frowned slightly, "It's common for artists to have secret relationships. This isn't enough to nail Zhou Yiyi."

Zhang Hen's eyes sharpened, "Zhou Yiyi came to Jiangrong Satellite TV yesterday. I'll continue to watch him."

Lin Mu waved his hand, "Let's wait for now. You two lie low for a while and take a break."

"Okay, Brother Mu."

After arranging things with them, Lin Mu walked into the Underwear Building.

Following the information sent by the "Pure Voice" production team in advance, he arrived at the third floor, where staff members were already waiting.

It was the same young lady from the waiting room during the preliminary rounds in Jiangsu Province, the one who had brushed her finger against him.

"Contestant Zhang Hen, hello, we meet again. My name is Zisu."

Seeing Lin Mu's face, the young lady's eyes lit up, and she excitedly extended her hand to him.

"Hello, Miss Zisu."

Lin Mu shook her hand and then tried to pull back, but surprisingly, he couldn't.

Zisu chuckled, her finger lightly scratching Lin Mu's hand, "Sorry, I'm a bit tight… grip."

Lin Mu smiled, "It is a bit tight, no problem."

Just then, a slightly familiar voice sounded nearby, "Bro, you made it through too?"

Lin Mu turned around and saw Hao Jian, the one from the Jiangsu Province preliminaries.

That guy had claimed he would sing female songs in a male voice back then, but it was all nonsense, which had messed with the mindset of the other contestants.

He hadn't expected this guy to make it through as well.

Lin Mu nodded, not wanting to talk much with him.

Hao Jian greeted Zisu enthusiastically, "Miss, nice to see you again. Could you tell me where the waiting room for Recording Hall No. 2 is?"

Today was the first recording of the Top 100 competition, 100 into 80, taking place in Recording Hall No. 2.

Zisu pointed with her left finger down the right corridor and said mechanically, proficiently, "Go straight for sixty-five meters, turn right, go thirty-six meters, turn left, turn right again after eighteen meters, then go twenty-five meters to the second red door, and you're there."

Hao Jian looked a bit confused, "Miss, could you take me there?"

Zisu replied mechanically, "I'm a bit busy right now."

"Busy?" Hao Jian then noticed Zisu's hand still clasped with Lin Mu's.

He turned and left dejectedly.

Lin Mu finally managed to pull his hand free and was also preparing to head to the recording hall.

"Zhang Hen, I'm not busy right now. I'll take you there."

Zisu said enthusiastically, leading Lin Mu forward.

Passing Hao Jian, who was still looking for directions, he suddenly saw Zisu smiling as she led Lin Mu.

Hao Jian touched his own face, then looked at Lin Mu's face.

"Damn it!"

With a young lady guiding him, Lin Mu quickly found the recording hall and pushed the door open.

It was quite a large room, likely the waiting area behind the stage in the recording hall.

However, this waiting room was much larger than the one for the preliminary rounds, and it was filled with people.

A rough estimate showed about eighty to ninety people, with more than ten of the top 100 still missing.

The waiting room was as lively as a marketplace, with some contestants who knew each other enthusiastically greeting one another.

Lin Mu entered like an invisible person, and no one paid him any attention.

This was exactly what he wanted. Lin Mu quickly walked to a secluded corner and sat down, then looked around.

As expected, on the other side, he saw Chi Yuting, surrounded by several male contestants as if she were the center of attention.

The woman was wearing a tight, pale yellow mini-skirt today. Sitting there, with her chest puffed out and stomach tucked in, she was indeed quite **.

Fortunately, she was constantly surrounded, so she didn't notice Lin Mu entering.

Seeing her happy and satisfied look, it was quite inspiring, like a sailor who finally found a high-quality fishing ground after a long and arduous journey.

Lin Mu silently wished her good luck and turned away to avoid being seen by Chi Yuting.

Just then, the door to the waiting room was pushed open again, and a young man walked in.

He was wearing a trench coat, his hair slicked back with oil, a light dusting of makeup on his face, and eyeliner.

Two assistants on either side held the doors open for him, allowing him to make a dramatic entrance.

This man's arrival was accompanied by a "God of Gamblers" background music, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

"It's Wu Tian?"

"Didn't they say Pure Voice was a competition for grassroots talent?"

"Damn it, professional contestants are forbidden!"

Many people were murmuring amongst themselves, their words filled with shock and frustration.

Lin Mu was also a bit surprised. He knew Wu Tian; he had participated in many talent shows and always placed in the top few.

However, he was unlucky and never managed to become famous.

But compared to the people in this room, Wu Tian was undoubtedly a professional contestant.

No wonder the others had such a strong reaction.

Seeing him with foundation and eyeliner, Lin Mu was curious whether he was here for a beauty contest or to sing.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. Forget it, none of this concerned him.

His goal was to make it into the top 40, not to compete for the championship. Why should he care about all this?

If he wanted to, he could have investigated every contestant thoroughly long ago, but there was no need.

I want to transform, I want to keep a low profile.

He didn't even need to care about who the judges were. He'd just sing a few songs, get through four rounds, and become a little popular.

After waiting for a while, all the top 100 contestants had arrived.

At this moment, the giant LED screen on the wall of the waiting room lit up, and a mature female voice sounded:

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Xin, and welcome to the national top 100 competition of Pure Voice Season 2.

Everyone who has reached this point is a strong contender.

Regardless of today's outcome, each and every one of you is an outstanding singer!"

After the usual motivational speech, Chen Xin explained the rules again.

The main principle was still not to show their faces, but entering the top 100 competition gave contestants more opportunities to showcase themselves.

For example, after singing a song, contestants could interact with the judges, but during the interaction, contestants had to use a voice modulator to prevent judges from recognizing contestants who were already famous.

After explaining the rules, it was finally time for the most anticipated segment.

Chen Xin paused and slowly said, "Finally, I will introduce the four judges for this season."
