Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-Person Fan!

"Mom, I've never experienced how devilish Dream Weaver Rabbit can be so deeply. It feels like having shards of glass forced into my mouth right in front of me???"

"Oh my god, I've been following this show all this time, and I haven't missed a single live broadcast. It's really unbearable to watch this. So many familiar faces are crying, and I'm going to cry too. Waaah, I don't want them to never be able to go on stage again???"

"I'm so sad. There are still 84 contestants left on stage. Just thinking about how most of them will have to leave in tears makes me feel terrible. Many of them are very strong, and it's so cruel that they can never go on stage again after being eliminated. Just imagining it makes me feel suffocated."

"Ugh, Flash Dance is a real hellhole. The elimination rounds at Capital were even more heartbreaking."

"Hey, is the elimination rounds being broadcast live from Capital too? Is it going to be Dream Weaver Rabbit releasing the death list again?!"

"Congratulations, you guessed right! That red-eyed rabbit over there is laughing even more happily!"

"6. Now the Dream Weaver Rabbit really does have built-in red-eye laser effects! What a terrifying rabbit! I've never seen a mascot like this in a talent show before???"

"Waaaaah, I don't want to see so many promising trainees being deprived of their spotlight! Even the giraffe is getting depressed watching this!"

The Live Broadcast Room was filled with wailing and howling, but the scene on-site was much calmer. Most of the girls, even if their eyes were red, just shed tears and didn't really lose their composure to the point of needing to be comforted. Instead, their teammates would offer words of comfort and hand them tissues.

To be honest, Dream Weaver Rabbit has been quite reasonable today. Two weeks ago, when it was eliminating people in this same classroom, those eliminated contestants were simply told to leave. They weren't even given a day to calm down, say goodbye to acquaintances, or even to hear about the competition rules.

Therefore, many players who are used to Dream Weaver Rabbit as the villain might temporarily have the illusion that it is quite gentle, which is partly due to being influenced by the CPU.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit ignored all of this, simply clapping and smiling to herself, and said to everyone:

"Now that we've announced the list of those who have advanced, we'll move on to the third round."

"To sum it up, the upcoming matches will still be in team format, and out of fairness and respect for the competition among teammates, your teams will not be reorganized but will remain unchanged."

"Of course, that's assuming your team doesn't have too many eliminated players."

"If three out of the five are eliminated, the team will disband and the members will be added to other teams that are short of players."

The Dream Weaver Rabbit found it amusing and added with a smile:

"The replacement of team members will be done through a lottery. Some of the players who disbanded the team will be added to the card pool, and everyone can draw from the card pool, it all depends on luck."

"As for the players from the other disbanded teams, they will be randomly assigned to teams; it's all about luck."

"It's worth mentioning that, due to the limited number of players, one team will inevitably only have four players, but that's okay, it won't affect the later matches."

This statement immediately sparked another round of discussion in the Live Broadcast Room:

"So, the battle for teammates is really crucial. If you choose well and pick the right ones, like the first, second, and third place teams, all of you can advance to the next round. With less time for adjustment, your teamwork will be even better, and your chances of winning will be much higher."

"It's all interconnected. Those who barely advance by absorbing all their teammates' votes by being in the Center position will only be assigned to other teams. As an outsider, it's a pipe dream to try and get the Center position again."

"This talent show really tests teamwork? That's ridiculous."

"That's probably still Public Performance, but it'll likely be the kind of competition where you choose a theme, which is a bit different from a simple stage battle."

Some viewers speculated:

"I'm more curious about the number of people eliminated this time. Shouldn't it be halved? 42 out of 84 people advancing? Isn't that a bit too many?"

"Indeed, FlashDance, as a talent show, initially recruited too many contestants. Normally, a number of around one hundred, or even seventy or eighty, would be more reasonable. Therefore, the second round was a direct elimination by cutting the number in half, and it would be inappropriate to cut it in half again in the third round."

The contestants in the audience had even more to think about and couldn't help but start discussing it.

Chu Yuanqing felt relieved. She hoped to stay with the original team. Firstly, she was used to having her Little Idol around. Secondly, she cherished the close parent-child relationship with her daughter, living and eating together. Thirdly... her physical condition required someone to help Magic Replenishment.

Kiriwake Yayoi smiled with delight.

She personally built this team, from tricking the Green Eyed Cat into accepting the battle, to the three of them using "Reunion World" to steal Chu Yuanqing, and finally to fighting the Great Demon King and pulling him into the team—although not very willingly—it was quite a journey.

Now, Little Sakura has come to like the positive atmosphere in the team. Even the Imperial Fierce Tiger, whom she initially thought would be a troublemaker, is actually quiet and well-behaved when she gets along with him. He is also very serious during training and has no bad intentions. Putting aside the rivalry factor, he can definitely be called a good teammate.

Not to mention, the team also includes a Pure White Witch who is also their first love.

If there were no unforeseen circumstances, Kiriwake Yayoi would even be willing to debut with this lineup.

Chu Wangshu's eyes sparkled. She had thought about this the most and was worried about similar issues. Naturally, she was very happy to hear this. If it weren't for the Golden Haired Doggy blocking the way, she would have already hugged Chu Yuanqing's arm and cheered.

As for Tang Liuli and Xie Qingxuan, their thought processes were surprisingly similar; they both felt extremely happy and content to be able to continue Magic Replenishment seal with Qing Bao.

In contrast to the joy on this side, most teams had mixed feelings. Not everyone can help their entire team advance; there's a 50% chance of elimination, and it's normal for each team to lose two or three players on average.

Currently, of the original 33 teams, only 6 teams have been able to maintain their original structure. The rest have either been completely eliminated or need to be incorporated into other teams.

In this way, if you're really unlucky, there's even a chance you'll run into a situation where the team has three or four lead singers, which is just ridiculous.

After waiting for the contestants to process the information, Dream Weaver Rabbit snapped its fingers.

Then, a giant screen was projected, showing the live broadcast of Capital's "Flash Dance". The other side encountered the same situation, making the contestants on both sides seem to be facing each other from a distance, and they were both extremely confused for a moment.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled expectantly and said:

"As everyone expected, the third round of the competition will still be conducted through Public Performance and voting format, and this time, the Program Group will invite 15,000 audience members to the venue."

Fifteen thousand people—that's a truly impressive number.

Even some famous singers wouldn't dare guarantee that they could organize a concert for 10,000 people. After all, online popularity and offline spending power are two different things. Not to mention the niche idol stage, even some girl group projects that become instant stars only have a 10,000-person capacity for their first concert.

Although with the fame of "Flash Dance" and the advantage of free tickets, attracting tens of thousands of audience members would be a piece of cake, it should be noted that this move is really expensive. The venue rental alone is not cheap after several consecutive Public Performance.

Normally, Public Performance would invite a few hundred or a thousand people to each show, and then let people vote online to decide the winner. There has never been such a lavish spending of money.

The key point is, this is only the Third Performance. If it's the final competition, wouldn't we have to move the Bird's Nest stadium to compete?

Not to mention the contestants, even the audience was speechless at this number.

But after the silence came excitement. This wave of votes was double that of the last one, so it must be easier to win now, right? After gradually getting used to the wonderful feeling of [Flow State], even people who weren't originally interested in live events didn't want to miss this opportunity.

The keywords "urgent" and "flash dad" kept rising in the Live Broadcast Room, indicating that people were already looking forward to the moment of winning tickets to the Public Performance.

As for the Little Idol in the audience, upon hearing the news, they temporarily escaped their low spirits and felt extremely excited to be able to participate in a stage of this caliber.

There were 15,000 audience members present; they couldn't even imagine how big the stage could be.

To be honest, even if they successfully debuted through a different Talent Show, there's little hope of reaching a stage with this level of audience in the short term. For some, participating in Public Performance of this caliber is practically a dream come true.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit revealed a sinister expression, its scarlet eyes filled with excitement, and it laughed loudly, saying:

"Everyone, look forward to it! This is sure to be a spectacular stage, because your opponents will no longer be just familiar teams, but also 83 trainees from Capital's Flash Dance!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the biggest difference between the third round and the previous rounds. You will officially compete against <Flash Dance> from another region, and the stage will determine the fate of both contestants, and even both shows!"

This information was already earth-shattering, a development that neither the audience nor the contestants had anticipated.

But the next second,

The Dream Weaver Rabbit grinned mischievously, looking down at the contestants from both regions, and then revealed an even more explosive piece of news:

"By the way, the combined number of qualifying spots for the Capital and Sea Capital regions in this round is 50."

Book Title: <My Electronic Pokémon Came True?>

Volume 1: 193. Charlotte, the national flower of Saint Wolfgang. (5K6)

Dream Weaver Rabbit's words caused an uproar in the Live Broadcast Room, and the players present were particularly nervous.

50 spots available???

Assuming an even distribution, there would be 25 qualifying spots per region.

In other words, 25 out of 84 players from Sea Capital and 25 out of 83 players from Capital advanced, a more dramatic elimination rate than the worst-case scenario of a 50% cutoff.

Most importantly, the way Dream Weaver Rabbit says this proves that the advancement spot is shared, and only those players who successfully make it into the top 50 in the mixed competition between the two regions can qualify for advancement.

This means that in extreme cases, there is even a possibility that all the spots in one region will be taken, leading to the abstract event of <Flash Dance> directly announcing the termination of its recording.

"6. If only a few people from one of the <Flash Dance> regions advance, will they be able to debut as a group after the third round???"

"Damn, what kind of insane plan is this? Is Dream Weaver Rabbit not exciting enough? What kind of genius is this, looking for fun???"

"Double fandom ecstasy! I'm following both Capital and Sea Capital's <Flash Dance>, and this Public Performance is absolutely thrilling! It's making me so excited!"

"In terms of popularity, Sea Capital has a much higher chance of winning, right? Capital's 'Flash Dance' only has half the number of views as Sea Capital's."

"It's really hard to say. The competition format in Capital is different from here. In order to save viewership, the tricks and the level of cruelty are even higher than in Sea Capital. The level of competition in the second Public Performance is even more terrifying. I heard from people at the scene that half of the 32 teams broke through on the spot."

"Ugh, Blue Prison, just hearing about it makes me feel so sorry for the girls over there???"

"The number of [Flow State] skills that Capital <Flash Dance> initially lagged behind has gradually caught up, with ridiculously high purity. Now it's Shining Monsters' domain, and the PK is truly suspenseful?????????"

Some audience members who saw the second Public Performance imagined all sorts of conspiracies and couldn't help but complain:

"Even Chen Yining's team from Sea Capital would have a hard time winning against Chu Yuanqing's team. I seriously suspect that Dream Weaver Rabbit's arrangement was just to give them some tough opponents???"

"They can live or die, but they can't live without a job. To come up with something new, Dream Weaver Rabbit has really risked the fate of two shows. Now the saying 'the stage determines one's fate' has become even more valuable."

The Live Broadcast Room was filled with discussions. Some were criticizing the pressure on the Little Idol in "Flash Dance," while others cited the strong teams next door to seriously consider the odds of both sides' fans winning. Still others were looking forward to the third Public Performance. It was quite chaotic.

As for the contestants, their resilience had been thoroughly tested by Dream Weaver Rabbit over the past two months. After being shocked for a while after hearing the news, they managed to recover.

This operation is very Dream Weaver Rabbit and also to Flash Dance.

Moreover... isn't it exciting and something to look forward to that the contestants from both regions gather together for the Public Performance, taking to the grand stage in front of 15,000 audience members, betting their individual brilliance to determine the final winner?

--The stage determines destiny.

Since Dream Weaver Rabbit is willing to gamble the prospects and ratings of both regions of <Flash Dance>, it's only right that they gamble their own brilliance and future!

Chu Yuanqing glanced at the excited Little Sakura beside her. She knew in her heart that the reason why the competition rules had changed so drastically was probably because Dream Weaver Rabbit knew about the four-month deadline.

This deadline forced the <FlashDance> project to accelerate.

If nothing unexpected happens, the same applies to Flash Dance in the other regions.

After the third round, just two more rounds, or even one more, will determine Debut Spot. At that point, Flash Dance will inevitably have a real showdown with the contestants, revealing some of the truth about Magical Girl and the Disaster Tide, before further unifying and proceeding with the remaining plans.

Once it develops to that point, even if they can still appear on stage as idols, the responsibilities they bear will be completely different from before, and they will inevitably face those [Calamity Species], or even the calamities that hatch from them.

--Idol.

--Magical Girl.

--A warrior who guards human civilization.

These three stages progress step by step, and the harsh realities faced when simply being an idol are nothing more than child's play in comparison.

On stage,

Dream Weaver Rabbit cut off the live stream and turned off the projection screen for the broadcast, and continued explaining the rules:

"Of course, just like the teammate competition in the second round served as an appetizer, the third round, before the official Public Performance, also had other elimination methods. Only the teams that successfully passed this round could get tickets to participate in the Public Performance."

"Simply put, the Program Group secured a commercial performance for each team. These performances took place in a wide variety of locations, including Guangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Chengdu, East Flow Island outside of Great Xia, and even the Holy United States outside of the Donghuang Federation."
