Dad, Please Let Me Solo-Push! Chapter 92
Yes, as expected of a gem on par with the Saintess, her will is so firm. A mere 50% elimination rate cannot shake her belief, and she remains so optimistic and positive.
But that's okay. The first round of elimination is just to further refine the pool and stimulate promising talents with hidden potential, such as Chu Yuanqing. The possibility of being eliminated in the first round is almost zero.
Dream Weaver Rabbit clapped its hands and continued:
"Of course, everyone, don't be nervous. Before the official group matches, you will need to go through three stages of choosing your teammates."
"In the first stage, the 168 trainees present will be divided into 84 teams of two, and each team will be randomly assigned a duet dance. The Program Group will give you a full month to freely explore and challenge other teams."
"The winner can choose one player from the opposing team to become a member of their team, advance to the next stage, draw a trio dance, continue to challenge other teams, and steal their desired teammates to form a four-person team."
"This process continues until a team of five members is formed, at which point they can proceed to the official Public Performance competition."
"Please note that each defeat will send you back to the next round, and you will be re-selected for the competition dance."
"The player who is eliminated in the initial round and has only one remaining will enter the preparation area to wait for the other losers to form their own teams."
"Of course, the losing team has the right to refuse the winning team's teammate's invitation, but the price is that the losing team will draw a new dance for the competition, and will have 10 points deducted in advance for the next Stage Battle."
Dream Weaver Rabbit smiled and said quietly:
"But I think no one would be foolish enough to refuse an invitation from a strong team, right?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The viewers in the Live Broadcast Room immediately became excited:
"Wow, is this how it's played? I'm starting to expect pretty girls to fight tooth and nail over a good teammate???"
"It's great, I love watching it! I feel like I can start secretly becoming a fan of the whole group now, folks???"
"Damn, this is like having A-Class team that's full of big bosses in a dungeon, and you can get an SSR gold card just by winning! It's like a leveling-up game, damn, this is so exciting!!!"
"LOL, Blue Prison, huh???"
"What ultimate involution where the strong always get stronger? I can already imagine what the competition will look like. All the strong teams will consciously challenge and undermine each other for the sake of team strength. If you only need to gather five players, it's entirely possible to put together several teams with top-notch quality!"
Some people have carefully analyzed the competition format and offered a calm evaluation:
"It's not that idealistic. According to the rules mentioned by Dream Weaver Rabbit, even if you can clear the game without a single loss, you still need to learn at least three dances. And for each additional teammate, you need to memorize more moves, but the time allotted for forming a team is only one month."
"Furthermore, while the rewards for challenging higher levels are certainly high, the risks are equally high. If you fail, your teammates will be taken away, you will be forced back to the original stage, and you will have to draw the dance again."
"The initial duets are fine, but as the dance progresses to trios and quads, the time cost increases progressively. How the contestants balance these factors and make effective and correct choices is the biggest highlight of this segment."
Meanwhile, the contestants present had also largely digested the information contained in those words.
This is a stage that requires careful strategic consideration.
If you choose to challenge weak teams throughout the competition, you can easily advance, but the quality of the teams you assemble will be unsatisfactory, and the performance in the subsequent second Public Performance will naturally be poor, greatly increasing the chances of defeat.
It's important to understand that even with the "Flow State" effect to correct mistakes, a five-person group dance will still lose a lot of points and suffer a major setback if the dancers are not synchronized and lack chemistry, making the audience feel disconnected from the performance.
On the other hand, the composition of the team also needs attention. If all the members are strong dancers, then how to allocate parts will become a problem. If five A-Class dancers are gathered together, how to choose the Center position can easily cause conflicts.
In short, you can't just pick the weak ones, nor can you just pick the very strong ones; you also have to consider the internal positioning and matching, as well as the time costs in all aspects.
This segment can be described as a game that tests both wisdom and ability.
However, the rules provided by Dream Weaver Rabbit are not yet perfect; it has not yet explained two very important issues.
Chen Yining's face was bright and beautiful. Her demeanor was as dignified as ever, yet she exuded a proud seriousness. She seemed to have completely shed the shadow of the Public Performance stage and was now fully immersed in the competition.
The Young Lady looked at the Dream Weaver Rabbit and clearly pointed out the issue that everyone was concerned about:
"Since the first round of team formation isn't through a competition, does the Program Group intend for us to form teams freely, or will they decide through some other method?"
What will happen to those who haven't assembled a team by a month?
"Is it direct elimination, or random pairing?"
The Dream Weaver Rabbit clapped its hands, and suddenly a glass archway, like a relief sculpture, rose from the center of the pure white and spacious room. Five-colored fish swam within it, creating a dazzling and beautiful sight from afar. It smiled and said:
"This axis contains a swimming fish inscribed with your information, and the first round of team formation will be conducted through a lottery."
"The order of the draw will be based on the number of likes received for the short videos in the previous round of the 'Center position' competition."
"Of course, to ensure a certain degree of fairness, the Program Group will show some bias towards high-rated contestants. The earlier the draw order, the higher the probability of drawing a high-rated teammate."
These words are in line with the "the strong get stronger" style of Flashdance, but they also give a slight advantage to lower-rated players.
After all, even if everyone has different probabilities of drawing from the same gacha pool, some unlucky people just manage to draw the worst possible card, while others are incredibly lucky and manage to defy fate.
If high-rated players were given priority in choosing, no one would choose an F-Class- or D-Class player as a teammate.
The end result is that noobs are paired with noobs, and experts with experts. The battles between them are completely predictable, directly defining a clear challenge class and indirectly reducing the show's excitement.
The Dream Weaver Rabbit's smile turned sinister as it moved on to answer the next question:
"What will happen to the players who haven't assembled a team by a month?"
"Given the elimination rate of this round, those with flaws will remain. Even with random pairings, there's a 99.9% chance they'll be eliminated in the second Public Performance."
"Therefore, from an efficiency standpoint, direct elimination seems more appropriate."
At this point, Dream Weaver Rabbit changed the subject:
"However, out of consideration for humane considerations, the Program Group decided to give the choice to the contestants who had already been paired up, allowing them to vote on whether they would be eliminated or randomly paired up to continue participating in the second Public Performance."
The viewers in the Live Broadcast Room were utterly disgusted by these righteous words and typed out their criticisms in the comments:
"Damn it, no wonder it's Super AI, it's even learned to shift the blame now, huh???"
"Uh, Dream Weaver Rabbit, please continue. I'll pose with three rabbit heads and listen to your story slowly."
"Don't be afraid, everyone! I've found a new way to deal with the Dream Weaver Rabbit. As a seasoned Fury fan and part-time doujinshi artist, I will personally take action for love and peace to settle this crisis!"
"Damn it, just arrest him! If you want to get rid of Kuchazi openly and honestly, just say so. Don't insult love and peace!"
Viewers are clearly used to the old tricks of Dream Weaver Rabbit and have already begun to discuss with skill and indignation how to deliver the ultimate insult to it.
The players overlooked this detail, as they were all focused on the upcoming card-drawing phase.
Among them, the pretty girls with low ratings start praying to gods and Buddhas, hoping to be picked up by more unlucky people in the high-rated group, and preferably be pulled out of the useless ones so they can cling to the strong ones.
High-rated players are all praying that their luck will be normal and that they won't get a beautiful, innocent but useless F-Class teammate, otherwise their future might be bleak.
Aside from Chu Yuanqing, who was the first to be drawn and was destined not to be drawn, the other six A-Class individuals had different thoughts.
Chen Yining was praying that she wouldn't be drawn by anyone other than Ji Shuzhu.
Ji Shuzhu didn't think about anything and decided to leave everything to fate.
Kiriwake Yayoi and Tang Liuli were the most honest, their minds filled with the thought that Chu Yuanqing would pull them out.
Xie Qingxuan is quite rational and naive. In her heart, it would be best to team up with Chu Yuanqing, but teaming up with other contestants who won't hold her back is also good, since they can all take the opportunity to steal each other's dream pieces.
On the field,
Without much hesitation, Chu Yuanqing walked to the glass axle, reached out and touched the surface of the outer shell. The palm print on it glowed and spread rapidly throughout the axle like cracks.
Then, amidst a familiar mobile game sound effect, a golden fish leaped out, shattering in mid-air like fireworks, scattering five hazy stars that coalesced into a card and landed in my hand.
Chu Yuanqing stroked the card in his hand. Its illusory texture was intangible, yet it moved naturally with the touch of his fingertips and the flicking of his palm, making it quite interesting to play with.
The front of the card prominently features a photo of Xie Qingxuan.
The girl's platinum blonde hair shone translucently in the light. She sat in a lakeside pavilion surrounded by bamboo groves. Her eyes were clear yet indifferent, like those of a naive and innocent child, or a celestial being detached from the mortal world. Combined with the ink-wash painting-like scenery scattered around her, the atmosphere was extraordinary, and she seemed to be detached from the world.
Yes, as a legendary gold card, this one looks fantastic.
Chu Yuanqing wasn't disappointed. The first draw has the highest probability, so it's normal to draw an A-Class. As for the five-star card, it's probably divided into five tiers: A, B, C, D, and F.
At the same time, Dream Weaver Rabbit clapped her hands in congratulations:
"Congratulations to Chu Yuanqing for drawing a five-star card."
"Congratulations to Xie Qingxuan for losing her chance to draw a card."
To be honest, this congratulation was really irritating. Only a perfect combination of two strong individuals like Chu Yuanqing and Xie Qingxuan could hear it without feeling offended.
Well, at least the Green Eyed Cat felt like it was going to explode after hearing that, wishing it could pin that big golden retriever to the ground and scratch it, and then beat up the Dream Weaver Rabbit as well.
Upon Kiriwake Yayoi's expression showed a hint of disappointment, but she immediately rallied, her eyes tinged with a beautiful cherry blossom pink, and a burning obsession ignited within her.
This time is different from before. According to the competition rules, she can completely use the stage to win Xiao Qing back!
And this aligns perfectly with the values held by the ideal idol.
Even though the combination of Chu Yuanqing and Xie Qingxuan was a nightmare-level boss encounter in the eyes of outsiders, it couldn't shake the budding desire for challenge in their hearts.
Xie Qingxuan was in a good mood and quietly walked to Chu Yuanqing's side.
Whether it stemmed from the imprinting emotion of a fledgling bird, the curiosity that its own "Flow State" state had no effect on it, or even the quality of its teammates, the result was quite good.
The next person to draw a card is Chen Yining.
This Young Lady has good luck; she not only drew a five-star card but also her childhood sweetheart.
Kiriwake Yayoi was the third to appear. Her luck was neither good nor bad; she didn't draw the only remaining five-star card, but she did draw a four-star card that she was very familiar with.
--Chu Wangshu
Tang Liuli breathed a sigh of relief at first. She didn't want to be on the same team as the super fierce Little Sakura, or she would definitely be bullied terribly. But then she thought of her good friend, Jianqing's Qing Mom's "niece," being taken away by the other party, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth in secret.
The girl secretly glared at the other person, then walked forward to draw a card. Unfortunately, she drew Lin Bao'er, B-Class student who was just as unbalanced as herself and whose role was also that of a lead singer.
For a moment, the two younger sisters looked at each other, their eyes revealing almost identical despair.
Just kidding, if you put two lead singers who aren't good at dancing in a duet, who can they possibly beat?
What's even more incredible is that the lead singer is an indispensable talent in the group. The combination of two lead singers is practically a low-risk, high-reward challenge. They can already imagine the scene of their team being surrounded by people asking to challenge them.
The Dream Weaver Rabbit acts as a comedian, announcing the gacha results.
The viewers in the Live Broadcast Room, as well as the other players present, were all shocked by this terrifying luck, and some even laughed out loud in a very unethical way.
It's worth noting that among the 168 contestants, there are very few who are clearly specialized in one area and are specifically positioned as lead vocalists; among them, only Lin Bao'er can be ranked in the B-Class.
Tang Liuli's ability to extract this person is, in a sense, a testament to her incredible luck.
At this point, the preferences of all six A-Class players were clear, and the remaining players continued to draw cards, completing the team division process within half an hour.
The final 84 teams were a mixed bag, with some being lucky B-Class -B-Class teams and others being unlucky F-Class -F-Class teams or B-Class- F-Class teams, successfully showcasing the diversity of luck.
Dream Weaver Rabbit clapped her hands, gesturing for everyone to look over, and smiled:
"Very good, now it's time to draw the dance."
"I believe you all understand that, over the course of a month, the difficulty of the first dance will largely determine your team's strategy and the time allotted for the challenge."
"Then let's continue in the same order as the previous draw. Please let pure luck decide the fate of your team."
