Dad, Please Let Me Solo Push!

Despite the escalating public opinion, the second evaluation continued at a steady pace.

Eight contestants initially received A-Class ratings, but the majority faltered.

Among them, Ji Shuzhu, who had prior stage experience and possessed exceptional stress resistance due to her hyperthymesia, surprised the audience.

Her performance was seamless throughout. While her singing was somewhat lacking, her dancing, honed through years of practice and relying on muscle memory, was effortlessly replicated on stage, securing her A-Class rating without a doubt.

However, the most unexpected contestant was the heiress of Yunlan Entertainment.

The audience's initial impression of her was that she had some skill, but not much. They believed she only secured an A-Class rating by using several trainees from her company as stepping stones, making herself shine exceptionally as the Center position.

But reality dealt them a harsh blow.

Chen Yining's performance far exceeded the audience's expectations. Although she made some mistakes, they were completely overshadowed by her strengths, and she successfully retained her A-Class rating.

Some viewers couldn't help but suspect that she likely had experience performing on large stages.

And indeed, that was the case.

Chen Yining often used Yunlan Entertainment's connections to hone her skills. It was common practice for her to sneak into the concerts of famous singers and join their backup dancers.

While not a true stage performance, facing the gaze of a massive crowd, along with the atmosphere and pressure, had made her accustomed to it.

Time passed.

The last A-Class contestant to appear was Kiriwake Yayoi, who had won first place in the theme song competition with a lead of one million votes.

Due to her immense popularity and the fact that her CP pairing with Chu Yuanqing was the hottest, this Sakura Girl's appearance was met with immense anticipation. As soon as she stepped onto the stage, the audience erupted with frenzied comments:

"Little Sakura! Look at Mommy! Mommy loves you???!"

"Haaah, did Yayoi have a big session with Qing Bao before going on stage????"

"Wuwuwu, if I could enter Yayoi just once, I'd be willing to have my fingers shortened by five centimeters???!"

"Damn, pure love fans are furious, even shortening them by fifteen centimeters won't do. Little Sakura can only be touched by Qing Bao, stop going crazy here???!"

"Can you elaborate on the 'touched' part? A straight girl is curious???."

"Uh, anyway, it's not a noun???."

Although the live chat was chaotic, with so many vulgar comments flying around that it threatened to cause a world-ending flood, the Sakura Girl at the center of the commotion stood on the massive stage she had never reached before with a near-devout heart, feeling her chest fill with emotion.

Once upon a time, she often dreamed of such a spacious stage.

And now, after enduring hardships and twists and turns, she was actually standing here, feeling as if she were dreaming.

Even though this was just a second evaluation stage.

Even though the surrounding seats were empty, making it so desolate and lonely.

Yet, the fervent joy and emotion were still irrepressibly filling her body and soul, bolstering her courage and whispering the beauty of the stage in her ear.

So...

When the stage lighting system officially activated.

When the prelude to candy truly began.

When the virtual reality system, like a nightmare, enveloped the dark and lonely world, suddenly transforming into a galaxy of stars, continuously expanding the ring of seats for hundreds of people tenfold through virtual projection, creating a truly massive stage.

What surged in Kiriwake Yayoi's heart was not shock or fear, but a roaring joy and inspiration.

How could she describe such happiness?

How could she convey this soul-stirring bliss?

At this moment, the perfect performance method that had repeatedly led her to surpass her limits seemed to immerse itself in an endless, clear azure, embracing the vast sky, surrounded by the tidal wave of fans' cheers and the illusion of prosperity, thus stepping into...

The true [Flow State]!!!

PS1: Wuwuwu, my sleep schedule is getting worse and worse. I wrote until 8 AM this time, I'm really going to pass out????????????!

Volume 1: 62. A World-Famous Painting, Kiriwake Yayoi on Stage. (5K)

Kiriwake Yayoi couldn't articulate her feelings at this moment.

The deep yearning and pursuit of the stage within the young girl's heart were satisfied by the shock of this instant, and the resulting happiness caused her soul and beliefs to resonate in unity.

She looked up at the distant stage, at the people calling her name, as if they were fans who had crossed the river of time to watch her perform. In a daze, her emotions surged like a tide.

--Must not disappoint the fans.

--Must present the best stage.

--Must show the most perfect self.

--Must create the most idol-like... Kiriwake Yayoi!

This moment, Kiriwake Yayoi's sense of time slowed. Her mind raced with countless thoughts, complex emotions like an avalanche, yet she remained focused, entering her optimal state. With perfect strength and rhythm, she hit the beat, her breathing steady as she began to sing.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Thirty seconds.

Kiriwake Yayoi showed no signs of faltering.

Her dance steps were relaxed and light, her movements devoid of any stiffness or hesitation. The arc of her pure white skirt swaying was flawless. Her eyes, as she smiled at the camera, were sincere. Even every wink and cute gesture that could easily seem forced felt naturally ingrained in her performance.

On the young girl's pure face, cherry-blossom pink lips curved upwards. Her genuine smile held a charm that captivated the heart, displaying a performance that surpassed her initial ranking. It was like a storm, pulling everyone's attention into it, letting the audience immerse themselves in the candy, infected by the keywords of the theme song.

Instantly, the audience felt as if they were watching a stage play with a plot and soul, featuring exquisite dialogue and a well-structured narrative. It conveyed elements of youth, girlhood, sweetness, freshness, and cuteness, melting into a bottle of ramune drunk by the sea, leaving one intoxicated and reminiscing.

This even surpassed the impact of some renowned stages.

Because Kiriwake Yayoi's stage presence, amplified by her [Flow State], was, in a sense, as absurd as the glowing dishes in Shokugeki no Soma. It was the shining raw gem that the Dream Weaver Rabbit pursued!

The total number of bullet comments in the live stream during these three minutes was less than the number of comments in the ten seconds before, showing just how much the stage had stunned everyone.

As the stage neared its end, a large number of people began typing their amazement:

"OMG OMG OMG, did Sakura-chan cheat?"

"I can guarantee Yayoi had no experience with large stages before, what's going on now?"

"Right, Sakura-chan is a bottom-tier idol in the Island Nation. The stages she's performed on were small and narrow, and very close to the audience. Tickets probably wouldn't even sell for a hundred. This is a complete burst of power!"

"Unbelievable, how much does Yayoi love the stage? It's a debuff for others, but for her, it's clearly like a buff. The purity is too high."

"My assessment is that the perfect performance method has substance. She must have entered [Flow State]???"

"Wuwuwuwu, so cute, so cute, so cute. Sakura-chan's candy dance is so cute, I want her to dunk on me???."

"Miss Yayoi, please fill me with all your might???."

This virtual reality challenge was a debuff for the other contestants, but for her, it was like a carp leaping over the dragon gate.

With such an example before them, the audience had to admit that the goal of Flash Dance seemed not to be to make the girls graduate immediately, but to consistently adhere to the cruel laws of the jungle, selecting the contestants with the best adaptability to the stage.

But the most astonishing thing was, no one expected that the one who would truly make the audience realize, and even accept this, would not be Xie Qingxuan, known as the Demon King, nor the industry-famous genius choreographer Ji Shuzhu, but a bottom-tier idol from a remote rural Island Nation who had climbed her way onto the stage step by step.

-- Kiriwake Yayoi.

What she displayed, a stage that transcended common sense, was precisely the variable that various Flash Dance sub-projects yearned for.

Underground base, central hub.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit's lips curled into a joyful arc as it laughed heartily.

Kiriwake Yayoi's sublimation and transformation, along with her extraordinary [Flow State], were an unexpected surprise even within the super AI's algorithms.

As everyone knows, the human heart is unpredictable.

And [Flow State], a mystical skill that has different requirements for each individual, involves complex and difficult-to-analyze emotions, and even a self that cannot be quantified by hormone secretion.

The entertainment industry is a big dye vat.

Idol survival shows kill tens of millions of dreams every year, building up that few thousand people who form the pyramid.

So, in the grand scheme of things, Sakura-chan's seemingly tragic yet inspiring experience actually proves nothing.

Because the core cause of her transformation was not suffering itself, but her extraordinary desire for the stage, her perfectionist obsession with the concept of being an idol.

Even the super AI codenamed [Dream Weaver], with the authority to control the entire human information database, could not quantify this desire and obsession.

This is why it felt such unexpected joy and happiness about the current phenomenon.

Countless virtual screens popped up, the wails and tremors from the magic cube prison, testifying to the purity of the [Flow State].

Perhaps it was due to the stage presence and the larger audience.

This time, the impact was even greater than that caused by Chu Yuanqing, the legitimate successor.

The Dream Weaver Rabbit whispered:

"Although Kiriwake Yayoi's qualifications in that regard are not comparable to hers or Chu Yuanqing's, her dedication to being an idol has successfully created an unprecedented chemical reaction in a virtual stage."

"And this almost unreproducible chemical reaction caused her to transcend her self-imposed limits, triggering fluctuations in the magic threshold."

"It seems that Flash Dance in Tokyo has missed an interesting seedling."

At the same time.

And just as Kiriwake Yayoi entered [Flow State] for the first time, shining brilliantly on stage and astonishing millions of viewers in the live stream.

Chu Yuanqing had just finished a round of training.

The girl was wearing a dance
