Lin Muci had already set her goal.
Instead, she focused entirely on the stage. The system couldn't persuade her and could only remain silent. It wasn't clear what it was tinkering with, but after a long while, it returned with an excited and agitated tone.
"Host, I have good news to report!"
Lin Muci no longer paid attention to its words.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to fart, fart quickly."
"I applied to the main system on your behalf. Because you are truly facing a desperate situation this time."
"So if you can really turn the tables, overcome this hurdle, complete the stage, and not be eliminated..."
It paused here, wanting to build suspense. Lin Muci scoffed, completely ignoring it.
"Let's see who will be more anxious!"
The system hit a soft nail with her. It coughed, and then said.
"If you can truly avoid elimination, then I'll apply for one opportunity for you to enter Ling Qianhe's dream once."
Lin Muci said coldly.
"What's the use of entering his dream?"
The system explained in a panic.
"Of course, not in your current state, but in your past appearance, Host. In the dream, having his Mu Ci sister see him, he should be very happy!"
"He loves you so much, he'll listen to anything you say. You can have him give your current body some benefits!"
"Isn't this considered a perk? Do you know how much my mouth got worn out to apply for this opportunity with the main system!"
It desperately sought credit. Lin Muci still sneered, did she not see through this little trick?
Letting her enter Ling Qianhe's dream was just to have that little brat push her down hard again. With his personality, would he listen to her speak? Would he let her speak? He would definitely push her down first!
She saw through it clearly.
The outwardly cold Ling Qianhe was a ravenous wolf in his bones, one that devoured without spitting out bones.
The system mumbled.
"Then do you want this benefit or not? I worked so hard to apply for it."
Lin Muci didn't hesitate and said without mincing words.
"Of course, I do."
Not taking advantage of a freebie is for bastards. Moreover, it's the system's freebie, so of course, I'll take it!
Lin Muci practiced for a whole night. The other girls were dejected, no matter how they danced, it was wrong.
They rehearsed all day and couldn't even complete one song.
If this continued, even if the anti-fans didn't vote against them, Lin Muci felt the stage would collapse entirely. What's more, this group performance required everyone to cooperate. She thought for a moment and gathered everyone.
She called a small meeting.
"I know everyone is under a lot of pressure. To learn five songs in a short period, perform on stage, and be potentially kicked off the stage at any moment, but since we've come to participate in the show, we can't give up at this critical juncture."
A girl with a round face glanced up at Lin Muci, quite dissatisfied.
"It's all your fault. You have so many anti-fans, we're all going to be implicated and eliminated because of you."
The other girls clearly thought the same way.
Yang Weiyang's eyes immediately turned red, wanting to defend Lin Muci.
"You chose Little Ci for the red team because you saw her popularity, and now you blame her for having too many anti-fans. How can there be such a good thing in the world? So you want all the benefits, you guys..."
Yang Weiyang was so angry she wanted to curse. But Lin Muci showed no offense, she didn't seem angry at all.
"So what? Just stand by and be eliminated?"
The girl with the round face stood up.
"What else can we do? Do you think we have any other choice?"
"Don't we all know that the combined anti-fans of all the other girls in the entire show don't add up to as many as yours, Lin Muci!"
"You were exposed as Ling Qianhe's fan before participating in the show, which is why you attracted so many anti-fans. Now you're ranked first, but which team doesn't want to bring you down and ruin you? Wuwu, but why should we be ruined along with you?"
"There's more than one debut spot, but because of you, we're all suffering. To stop at this round, who can be reconciled?"
"I'm participating in the show with everything I've got, and I don't want to be implicated and eliminated!"
Lin Muci looked at her. She remembered her name was He Xiaoyun.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears as she shouted hoarsely in the practice room.
"Does it matter if I want to win?"
"We're doomed to lose."
Every girl participating in the show was under immense pressure. She cried, and the other girls also cried. They sobbed, and the fear of being eliminated surged into their hearts!
Lin Muci remained silent. Yang Weiyang looked at her with wide eyes, she felt very sorry for Little Ci.
Clearly, the dance details were all found by Little Ci.
Clearly, it was she who patiently taught everyone again and again.
Yet she was unappreciated.
Lin Muci's eyelashes were still trembling, like butterfly wings. She pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
The light cast a profile on her cheek. As the light flickered, her voice carried a hint of anger.
"Are you that afraid?"
"You feel you'll lose before going on stage, so you can stop training and practicing? Do you want to show the audience your most embarrassing side? There are not only the five thousand audience members here, but millions watching the live broadcast. How do you want them to see you? Go on stage like this?"
The practice room fell silent.
Yang Weiyang saw Lin Muci so angry for the first time. Her voice was tinged with a sob.
"Little Ci, don't get angry. The cameras are rolling, and no one wants to be eliminated. Everyone is just too worried about the future, which is why their emotions are out of control. Those five songs are so difficult, and no matter how they dance, they can't get it right. We might have learned them with all our might, but we won't even get a chance to perform on stage, which is why we're so upset."
Lin Muci looked at the large mirror in the practice room, reflecting a slender girl with bruises all over her limbs. She silently looked at her tired self in the mirror.
She herself felt the hardship and exhaustion. Ling Qianhe, back then, must have felt even more tired and exhausted when he entered this industry.
How did he succeed?
She suddenly wondered about the five years she was stuck due to system malfunctions.
How did Ling Qianhe spend those five years without her companionship?
The system prompted her.
"You need to upgrade the acting space to see more memory fragments of Ling Qianhe."
Needless to say, it would consume points again.
Lin Muci turned around and looked at the group of girls.
"Let's continue practicing. I'll teach you bit by bit from the beginning. I'll sing the high-pitched parts. I only hope you can practice the dance until you're proficient. Believe me, we won't be eliminated."
The cameras seemed to fall silent. The girls exchanged glances, hesitant.
Perhaps they were afraid of ending up like the previous three girls, whose conflicts with Lin Muci were edited into the main broadcast.
So they could only get up and dance, but their movements were still weak and listless.
They didn't think Lin Muci could turn the tables this time.
Unless she could spend money to bribe them! Bribe all five thousand fans!
