780 Preparation for Sing! Milky Way

In Dali's accessory shop.

Hong Dali and the rest sat on the sofa as they chatted with White Beard Gate.

"Rascal." Gate drank a mouthful of his wine, showing his displeasure. "I only left for a few days, and you actually came looking for me?"

"Pops." Ace shrugged his shoulders reluctantly. "I have no choice, this is important."

"Speak up. What is so urgent?" Gate pouted. "If it's a small matter, don't blame me for throwing you out."

"Ah, it's a big matter. Absolutely big matter!" Ace was sweating profusely. "We received news that a space fleet is transporting something very important. I heard it's worth a lot. Seeing how nervous they all were, it could be a Soul Stone!"

"Oh?" Hearing that, Gate appeared interested. "Do you know what kind of Soul Stone is it they are transporting?"

"No." Ace shook his head. "We have not even gotten confirmation if it's really a Soul Stone."

Gate snuck his head in front of Ace's face, making his heart beat wildly in shock. "Come look for me after you have confirmed the news. I'm having fun here." He pointed at Hong Dali. "This brat has bought me for one hundred and twenty thousand a month. I should stay here for at least a month."

"Pops!" Ace shouted. "You should be worth more than that!"

"It's my decision." Gate waved his hand. "Get lost if there's nothing else. Don't bother me."

Ace appeared desolated. "Al… alright…" He stood up. "I'll go have some fun at the Tower of Trials…"

Then, he left…

When Ace left, Gate looked at Hong Dali. "Speaking of which, brat, you said you bought another shop?"

"Yes." Hong Dali beamed with delight. "I spent another million. I feel good!"

"Not bad, not bad. You have a mind of your own." Gate laughed out lough. "Wahahahaha, I like interesting people! Go play, don't disturb my nap."

"En, okay. It's late," Hong Dali nodded. "we'll make a move first."

…

In the universe.

Aristocrat.Tianxing, in a spacecraft.

Tianxing sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. But there were many things going through his mind.

"Qianxue always liked heroes. I thought that after so many years of trying, I would earn her liking. Who would have thought an almighty genius would appear. With Qianxue's character, she is sure to develop feelings for this almighty genius. It's hard to predict what will happen later."

A lady like Qianxue, usually cold, once she fell in love with someone, there was no stopping her. This was no joke. Especially the incident that happened eight hundred years ago, the lady back then, her character was very much alike.

"I hope I'm still in time. The almighty genius has not been found yet. I still have some buffer time. If I am able to defeat the almighty genius… En. I better train harder."

Thinking up to this point, Tianxing asked the guard who was navigating the spacecraft, "How far are we from the Silver-blue super-planet?"

"Six hours away, Lord," the guard replied respectfully.

"Okay." Tianxing nodded and said, "I'll go train for a while. Update me if anything happens."

"Yes, Lord."

…

Out of the Star Harbor, Hong Dali stretched lazily and looked around. "Ah, it's a happy day, haha!"

"Aowuu…" Little tiger Quentin let out a big yawn. Seemed like it was tired again…

"Dali," Tang Muxin asked. "where are we going next?"

"Let me think." Hong Dali touched his chin. "I remember the auction at Sauron Auction Center is happening soon? Big Brother Fang Han said he was going. Let's go take a look tomorrow. I wonder if there will be anything fun to do there. Haha!"

"Okay!" Hearing the mention of Sauron Auction Center, Tang Muxin, Li Nianwei, and Ling Xiaoyi looked at each other. They were really curious about the selling price of the three attribute gems…

"Ah, I'm a little sleepy. Let's return to Brent first." Hong Dali patted on Quentin's head. "I'm really quite sleepy. Quentin should also eat some Dali beans and go to sleep…"

Hence, they headed toward the spacecraft along with the tiger.

They attracted a lot of attention on the way—it was common for people to bring their pets out. But it was rare to see one so big…

Several people started talking. "Quick, look. That tiger is the Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger? It's so cool. This is the first time I've seen anyone with a pet like that!" Yes, I could tell at one glance that the Young Master leading the crowd is no ordinary person. Incredible!" Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger is not an ordinary beast. It's so big, ordinary people cannot afford to raise them!"

Soon, they boarded the spacecraft and headed back to Brent.

On the spacecraft.

Jiang Qianxue twisted the corner of her clothes with her finger. She felt uneasy. After all, the concept of dating was completely foreign to a girl like her.

"Dali, love is… like that?" She thought for a long while before she asked Hong Dali. "I don't feel my heart racing like I'm in love. It feels… normal…"

"Of course." Hong Dali answered matter-of-factly. "If your heart races every day, your life-span will be shortened. Love is, in fact, ordinary. It's not as exciting as you thought it is. Shopping, chatting, it's just like that."

En, this rascal was not experienced in love either. But he could bluff his way through!

"Oh…" At this moment, Jiang Qianxue was a girl who longed for love and had many hopes. In her mind, falling in love was earth-shattering and exciting every day. But she found that this was not the case in reality. Everyone just did their own things, occasionally shopping together, chatting. It did not feel as exciting as she had envisioned.

"Perhaps…" Jiang Qianxue bit her lower lip and looked out the window. "I am too rash?"

When she thought that, Tang Muxin suddenly pointed out of the window and shouted, "Dali, quick, look. What is that?!"

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed. Some words had appeared in the sky— Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.

"Shenluo City's 'Sing! Milky Way' will commence soon. We welcome everyone to take part in this competition. Location for audition: Virtual World Area 52, Sing! Milky Way Hall. Time: October 21, 8 AM."

Sing! Milky Way…

Seeing that, everyone was stunned. Then, they cheered in unison. "Wahahaha! This is good, this is good!"

Li Nianwei's face flushed red with excitement. She rarely asked for anything, but this time, she took the initiative to ask Hong Dali, "Young Master, I think…"

Although she didn't present her thoughts right away, it was obvious—as a soulful singer who loved music, such music events were irresistible.

"Ah, haha. This is not bad." Hong Dali grinned as he asked Jiang Qianxue, "Qianxue ah, this Sing! Milky Way, elaborate to us?"

"Ah!" Jiang Qianxue was stunned for a while but quickly collected her thoughts and explained. "Sing! Milky Way is a very popular entertainment program. The audition is held in each city in the Virtual World to shortlist and rank good singers. About one hundred people will be selected to advance to the next round. Then, over three thousand cities in our Silver blue super-planet will start to compete against each other. About one hundred cities will form one group to select the top one hundred singers. Which means only one in one hundred is selected. That will leave us with three thousand talented singers. Next, every one thousand people will form a group and ten will be selected. The following round will be the finals where the third runner-up, second runner-up, and champion will emerge out of thirty people. The champion will be awarded the title 'Star of the Milky Way'. That is equivalent to the best singer in the entire Milky Way. It's very impressive."

When Jiang Qianxue finished introducing, everyone was shocked.

Only one chosen out of the entire Milky Way?! What kind of talent must one have in order to win?!

"Let me do some calculations." Hong Dali started counting with his fingers. "If ten thousand people take part in one city, and one hundred is chosen, three thousand cities would be 300,000 people. With an advancement ratio of one hundred to one, three thousand will be selected. Then thirty, then three…" Up to this point, Hong Dali was shocked. "Oh, this is a cruel competition!"

One round after another. It was hard not to find such competitions exciting!

Li Nianwei asked, "Miss Qianxue, the criterion for winning is according to…"

"Actually, it's simple." Jiang Qianxue smiled. "Every round will have its own coaches to grade the contestants. Grading will be based on their voice, lyrics, and songs. It's very strict. The total score will include votes from the audience. The maximum points one can get is ten thousand. Anyone that gets more than six thousand points will pass the stage to become the top one hundred in each city. The second round's minimum score is seven thousand, third round eight thousand, fourth round nine thousand and above. The scoring is not only from the live audience but will also depend on their popularity and the votes from the online audience. In order to emerge as the winner, one will have to get at least nine thousand points. It's not easy. But the winner will definitely be the most popular person and the best."

Scary!

A maximum of ten thousand points. Apart from the audition, in order to be the top few, one has to get at least eight or nine thousand points. This competition is really…

I like it!

"Participate! We must participate!" Hong Dali laughed out loud. "Sister Nianwei, say no more. You have to participate!"

"Young Master," Hearing Jiang Qianxue's explanation, Li Nianwei was a little nervous. "what if I cannot reach the top few? Wouldn't I embarrass Young Master?"

"Aiyaya." Hong Dali shook his head and smiled. "The important thing is the process. As long as you are happy. You haven't been able to sing in such a long time. You can sing all you want this time!"

"En…" Li Nianwei's tears welled up and nodded. "En!"
