Lin Muci was unaware that Ling Qianhe had gone to find Bai Jian.
The two had even reached some kind of agreement.
Lin Muci woke up and rubbed her eyes.
As soon as she turned on her phone, messages started pouring in. She was quite puzzled, opened her phone, and saw messages popping up.
“Beep beep beep!”
“Little Ci, have you seen it? Ma Yingying actually dared to send you a challenge letter, is she crazy?”
“She said she wants to have a PK with you to see who is the strongest all-around female idol…”
Lin Muci frowned.
Ma Yingying?
This name sounded familiar. Wasn’t this the girl participating in that dating show?
The system said slowly in her ear.
“This is just a publicity stunt for the show, but the production team didn’t ask Ma Yingying to challenge you. She made this decision on her own because you’re popular now, so she’s not convinced. Moreover, you’ll be on the show together later, and she’s afraid your fans will be attracted to you.”
“So she’s striking first. She wants to prove she’s better than you.”
“This way, she can attract your fans in turn!”
The system sighed.
“Ma Yingying is really… having big dreams.”
“It’s not that I’m gossiping about her.”
“It’s just that she’s really not good. I think her skills are not even as good as yours. She might have become famous overnight on the internet and been praised too highly by her fans every day, so she’s overconfident and has forgotten her own abilities.”
Meanwhile, Yang Weiyang kept sending her messages.
“She said she wants to challenge your stage?”
“She started a challenge on Douyin… wants to go head-to-head with Little Ci… she’s truly out of her mind and acting crazy. How could she possibly be Little Ci’s opponent!”
Yang Weiyang looked down on her.
“Her singing is just average, right? Does she really think she’s worthy of tens of millions of fans? At least half of her fans are from shipping with Li Michael!”
In the group chat.
Han Jiuzhen also gave her slow evaluation.
“I’ve seen her… when I was an trainee overseas, I knew her. Then she was eliminated by her company for not training diligently enough.”
“But because she was an overseas trainee, she later gained a large number of fans on social media platforms and became very popular.”
“Plus, her CP with Li Michael was very popular overseas, which is why she became a popular female idol.”
“But her own songwriting skills are very average, and there were rumors of her plagiarizing before…”
“And her dancing ability is really bad!”
Han Jiuzhen pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and gave a more objective evaluation.
“Her dancing ability, I think, is almost non-existent.”
“That’s how it was when I was a trainee back then.”
“The trainees from our company had a competition with her company. The other girls danced quite well, but her part was particularly disappointing.”
“Her whole body was not in sync when dancing, her limbs were uncoordinated, and she lacked strength.”
“It’s clear she didn’t practice well, which is why she’s in that state.”
“So—”
“I find it incredible that she dares to challenge Little Ci.”
“Doesn’t she look in the mirror and dance in the practice room?”
“In what way is she comparable to Little Ci?”
Han Jiuzhen was completely baffled and very confused.
“But since she has publicly sent a challenge letter to Little Ci, it wouldn’t be good for you not to accept, and it would make foreigners think we’re scared of her!”
Lin Muci said.
“Then let’s compete.”
Lin Muci directly logged into her overseas Douyin account.
“I accept Ma Yingying’s challenge.”
As soon as this reply was posted.
The entire internet was shaken, and everyone rushed to watch the drama!
…
“Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen such a scene! This is really the first time I’m getting such big gossip. Is Ma Yingying out of her mind to want to challenge Lin Muci!”
“Has she been hyped up too much overseas that she has no idea of her own capabilities? Her casual little jiggles are devoid of any technical skill, how can she compare to Lin Muci!”
“Little Ci is a peerless genius! She can dance synchronized routines with Han Jiuzhen, who has ten years of trainee experience, without any inferiority, and even dance duets with the dance machine Ling Qianhe!”
“Little Ci’s jazz and shaking dance are both superb. We’ve already seen before how incredibly skilled Little Ci is! It’s amazing—watching her dance, I feel like even the strands of her hair are dancing, so graceful!”
Everyone marveled.
As for Ma Yingying, people in China didn’t know much about her before.
She had a large fan base abroad, but they only said empty words like “so shocked,” “looking forward to it,” and couldn’t offer any insightful opinions.
On the other hand, Lin Muci’s fans praised her to the skies.
After all, she debuted at the top in a survival show and released two globally explosive singles.
“Aren’t ‘Breaking Through the Fog’ and ‘Phoenix Soaring Nine Heavens’ popular enough?”
“Global clicks exceeded one billion!”
“‘The Phoenix Does Not Die’ is also coming. Hehe, I call it the Phoenix Trilogy. Only our Little Ci can have such passionate and exhilarating intensity. Our Little Ci is the daughter of a phoenix reborn, who doesn’t know this?”
“Who understands? Starting off being hated by the entire internet, then conquering everyone with hard work and strength.”
“Debuted with overwhelming first place. Her first movie grossed one billion at the box office, winning her Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actress awards.”
“For her second movie, she collaborated with the two hottest global movie stars, one Chinese and one foreign, both playing her male leads. Can you find another person globally with such treatment?”
“Our Little Ci is truly outstanding!”
“Can some women who built their careers by leeching off of CPs, and are actually devoid of any ability, stop attaching themselves to our Little Ci!”
Everyone was clearly extremely angry.
“Ma Yingying is just trying to stir up hype. How is she comparable to Little Ci?”
Yang Weiyang laughed so hard she almost choked while reading the comments.
She curled up on the sofa, happily watching everyone criticize Ma Yingying for being overconfident, then quickly typed several comments on the keyboard.
“Little Ci will definitely slap her in the face! I’ll always believe in Little Ci anyway.”
After posting her comment, she realized something was wrong.
Oops.
She seemed to have forgotten to log into her alternate account. This way, her comment was posted entirely from her main account!
It was too late to withdraw it.
Looking at her comment pop up, Yang Weiyang was extremely nervous.
She prayed inwardly that her comment wouldn’t be seen.
But how could that be. Her comment was quickly pushed to the top.
Below it were all sorts of people showing up to witness the scene.
“Hahaha, Yang Weiyang is truly a Little Ci protector.”
“Don’t be scared, you’ve spoken our minds. Hahaha, we also think the other person isn’t worthy of Little Ci!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
Everyone was very excited, flocking to witness the “affair” between Lin Muci and Yang Weiyang!
Someone even commented.
“Weiyang, they say you’re going on a dating show? Why don’t you bring Lin Muci along, and you and Little Ci can show off your affection and make Ma Yingying furious!”
Everyone thought about that scene and found it enjoyable to watch.
However, some people felt sorry for the male lead.
“Wait, if that happens, will anyone still care about the guys? Fei Siyu is so pitiful, hahaha. He’s a greatly admired god in the e-sports circle, yet he’s being ignored!”
“Being ignored is nothing for Fei Tiantian. If Ling Qianhe also goes on the show and is ignored, that picture would be truly beautiful. With a bunch of men watching Lin Muci and Yang Weiyang hugging each other, they’ll probably be so jealous that the fish in the Pacific Ocean will all die from acidity!”
Yang Weiyang sighed.
Then she thought.
Would Instructor Ling get jealous?
He’s such a cold person. That shouldn’t be the case, right?
She felt that Ling Qianhe probably wouldn’t get jealous!
Thinking this,
Yang Weiyang calmed down again.
That’s right, Ling Qianhe definitely wouldn’t get jealous, so she didn’t need to be too nervous.
But speaking of which, if he’s not jealous, why does Instructor Qianhe glare at her every time she hugs Little Ci?
…
Ma Yingying challenging Lin Muci, and Lin Muci accepting the challenge, this news immediately set the entire internet ablaze.
Ma Yingying quickly replied to her.
“What time?”
“Three days later, I want to have a dance battle with you live. On Fox’s biggest talk show, my personal program, I will allocate time to challenge you.”
She was clearly well-prepared.
Watching her menacingly.
Lin Muci looked at the address she sent. It was clearly arranged by Fox.
That is, the broadcast platform for the subsequent variety show.
The world’s largest video website, with a user base of billions!
However, according to the system, challenging her was Ma Yingying’s own decision.
This should also be a mission, right?
The system did not disappoint Lin Muci.
“New mission! Win against Ma Yingying in the challenge duel, letting global audiences witness your true strength.”
“Upon winning, you will be rewarded with one hundred points.”
“And you will have the opportunity to receive further rewards in the subsequent variety show.”
This was likely because Lin Muci was certain to encounter Ma Yingying in the subsequent variety show.
That’s why there were such rewards?
She was deep in thought, while the system continued to chime in.
“Host, you must win this time! You have to fight for honor, even if you don’t have to fight for bread.”
“Moreover, this is a battle between Eastern and Western idols. After Ling Qianhe became hugely popular globally, many overseas companies were already dissatisfied… Because of their prejudice and arrogance, they believed.”
“That the East could not produce powerful idols.”
“That’s why Ma Yingying dared to make such a request to you, because Ma Yingying believes you are bound to lose!”
“She doesn’t believe your strength is real!”
“Behind her, there are many overseas entertainment companies forming a force to suppress you.”
“They are afraid you will become the next Ling Qianhe!”
“Become a top-tier female idol!”
Lin Muci was slightly stunned, then she smiled.
“She doesn’t believe in my strength?”
“And wants to suppress me along with the entertainment companies behind her?”
The system nodded repeatedly.
“Yes!”
“So you must perform well and prove that our idols’ strength is the strongest!”
Lin Muci directly accepted the mission.
Since the other party looked down on her.
Then.
She could only forcefully slap her in the face.
However, if Ling Qianhe saw Ma Yingying challenging her, she wondered what he would do.
That guy.
He’s a complete fanboy.
Lin Muci suddenly became curious.
In what way would he support her?
And help her vent this anger?
Ling Qianhe, he’s even more difficult to mess with.
However, Lin Muci thought again, she could completely use this opportunity to promote her third single!
Didn’t Ma Yingying want to prove her lack of strength?
She would make sure that her group, Times Girls’, third single, appeared on Fox’s biggest stage. She wanted the third single to once again stir up a storm globally and become popular worldwide!
