Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder Omega, Their Knees Bent Chapter 11

 Chapter 11

[Damn, damn, damn—he’s giving me flirty eyes! Oh no, my heart is pounding.]

[Baby, just wait a moment. Boyfriend is coming.]

[Perfect dance, synchronized with the beat, graceful movements, eye contact… Ah, who is this person?! When did the entertainment industry produce such a talented individual? Why bother with auditions? Just debut in the center position!]

Experiencing the performance live was much more impactful than watching through a broadcast device. They were still under the spell of Lou Ting’s singing.

The judges sat in the front row, their impressions more immediate than the audience’s.

After a moment, the head judge, who initially hesitated to give a high score, smiled and shook his head.

Lou Ting picked up the microphone. Even after the energetic dance performance, his voice remained steady, without a hint of wavering, not even a sign of rapid breathing.

【Ah, ah, ah, my husband is so handsome!!!】

【Quick, introduce yourself and write down your household registration.】

【Sisters, marriage is a tomb. You all step back, let me take the lead!】

In the live streaming room, a fierce scramble ensued, but Lou Ting remained oblivious to it all.

He nodded slightly at the three judges and spoke softly, “Hello, everyone. I am Lou Ting.”

—”Ah?!”

The audience at the venue erupted in a frenzy of confusion. They all exclaimed “Ah!” in unison, and the lingering echo spread throughout the recording hall.

Director: “???”

Who is this person?! How come I didn’t know he is Lou Ting?

The bullet comments in the live chat were flooded with exclamation marks.

【Holy shit, holy shit, what the hell, what did he say his name was?!】

【Damn, damn! Wasn’t Lou Ting supposed to be an ugly-faced, off-key singing, clumsy dancing comedian who only knows how to ride on trends? Dammit! Marketing accounts, you’re done for!】

【Did I not watch any of Lou Ting’s shows? Does Lou Ting look like this? Isn’t plastic surgery illegal? Who did his plastic surgery!?】

【Shut the f*ck up, all of you! I’ve been a Lou Ting hater for so long, and I flew halfway across the world for this. I even spilled water on my newly bought computer because of him. Lou Ting, how are you going to compensate me?! Offer yourself to me!】

【Damn it, you haters are just dreaming!】

【f*ck! Don’t any of you have husbands? Why the hell are you all talking about my husband?】

Amidst the flood of bullet comments, a few fans of Zhan Yunqi couldn’t help but try to make their presence known.

However, their efforts couldn’t create even the slightest ripple and were completely overshadowed by the declarations of love.

The three judges knew the performance lineup in advance, and they had also familiarized themselves with the participating celebrities by looking at their photos beforehand.

When Lou Ting appeared, these popular stars, who had been through the ups and downs of the industry, thought this was a “surprise” prepared by the production team. But they never expected—there was no surprise at all. This was the real Lou Ting!

Judge Ba Yanchen cast an appreciative glance at him and said, “You, you’ve surprised me.”

Omega Xie Rongrong beside him quickly added, “Your voice is beautiful. I think it can handle many different sounds. You’re very good.”

Lou Ting replied, “Thank you, teacher.”

Yan Zige, as a professional dance artist, had the highest standards among the three judges and also had the most experience.

He picked up the microphone and brought it close to his mouth.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but there was a sense that it wouldn’t be a favorable critique.

The other two judges gave positive evaluations.

Seeing Yan Zige fall silent, the audience couldn’t help but feel nervous for Lou Ting.

“Just now, when the leading actor danced, he received criticism from Yan Zige. Even the leading actor didn’t get any mercy. Will Yan Zige make Lou Ting cry with his critique?”

“I don’t know… I really like Lou Ting’s performance. I hope the teacher can give a gentle critique.”

“Sigh, after all, Lou Ting is not a professional.”

…

Yan Zige pondered for a long time, so long that the audience in the seats couldn’t help but start whispering to each other.

Just as everyone’s hearts were pounding with anticipation, Yan Zige, without saying a word, wrote on the scoring board.

In the next moment, Yan Zige raised the scoring device, and the large screen followed his movements, focusing the camera on the scoring board.

—A perfect score!

“Wow! Lou Ting is awesome!”

The cheers of the audience instantly echoed throughout the studio!

The score represented Yan Zige’s affirmation of Lou Ting’s talent. Holding up the scoring board, Yan Zige said in a solemn voice, “If it isn’t you who will debut in the C position, I would suspect that there’s some conspiracy behind this show.”

Lou Ting raised an eyebrow, inserted the rose into his shirt pocket, right at the position over his heart, and said with a smile, “You can trust me completely.”

Yan Zige was momentarily stunned by his words, but then he shook his head with a smile and said, “Arrogant.”

Indeed, very arrogant.

In a competition where there were popular stars, leading actors, and true vocal powerhouses, Lou Ting dared to say such words.

To trust him completely meant that even in the presence of conspiracies, he would use his skills to break through, relying on his talent to shine through and conquer all obstacles!

But this “arrogance” made Yan Zige very happy.

This kind of arrogance came from Lou Ting’s own judgment of his abilities. He had confidence, so why couldn’t he be arrogant?

Yan Zige said, “I admire you.”

Lou Ting replied, “Thank you, teacher.”

Ba Yanchen, seeing that Yan Zige had given his score, also gave Lou Ting a perfect score as well.

“I want to save my critique of you for the final stage. But before that, I have a question…” Ba Yanchen shook his phone. “Many viewers have been speculating that you’ve had plastic surgery. Can you explain it to them?”

“I haven’t had plastic surgery. I started as a child star, and there are previous photos of me online. As for the change in my face…” Lou Ting said, “I simply removed some things that didn’t belong to me.”

That heavy and ugly makeup should have been abandoned long ago.

Ba Yanchen was also perceptive and understood the meaning behind Lou Ting’s words almost instantly. He raised his hand and gave him a thumbs up. “Keep it up.”

Xie Rongrong picked up the microphone and smiled. “I had prepared a lot to persuade you to join my team, but the director just informed me that we’re running out of time. We should invite the next guest on stage. Ah, it’s such a pity.”

“But…” Xie Rongrong’s tone changed as she gave Lou Ting a perfect score of ten and said, “As long as you want, my team is always open to you.”

“Wow! The first perfect score of thirty points in the entire competition! This is 3S level!”

“Lou Ting is awesome!”

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Lou Ting’s figure disappeared into the darkness as he walked down the exit passage.

Back in the dressing room, before Lou Ting could even sit down, he heard a knocking sound at the door.

Opening it, he found the director standing there.

“Your… face…” The director rushed over, out of breath and struggling to speak.

Lou Ting poured him a glass of water. “Take your time.”

The director gulped down the water, patting his chest to ease his breath before regaining his composure.

The director asked, “What’s the matter with your face?”

Lou Ting replied, “Due to certain reasons, I can’t reveal my true appearance.”

The director nodded, understanding that Lou Ting didn’t elaborate further, and he couldn’t press for more information. Fortunately, he didn’t care about the past reasons either. “Will you continue to disguise yourself in the future?”

Lou Ting replied firmly, “No, I won’t.”

The director breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”

If Lou Ting were to perform with that ugly face in the future, who knows how the audience would react and what kind of insults he would face!

If the director thought that Lou Ting requested it, then he would never be able to clear his name.

The director had to keep his eyes on the live broadcast and couldn’t stay for long. He said, “It’s getting late. If you have nothing else, you can go back.”

Lou Ting quickly asked, “Director, which room did the production team assign to me?”

“A room?” The director was taken aback. “You want to stay in a dorm?”

It was true that the production team had prepared dormitories, but the guests participating in the program were not newcomers. They wouldn’t expect them to stay in bunk beds, and after being rejected by several celebrities in a row, the director planned to leave the dormitories empty. However, he didn’t expect Lou Ting to bring it up proactively.

“We have dormitories, and here’s the key. The room is on the top floor. You can choose whichever room you like,” the director handed Lou Ting a bunch of keys. Since no one else was staying there, he might as well let Lou Ting choose on his own.

“Huh…?” Before Lou Ting could say anything, the director hurriedly ran off.

Lou Ting had no choice but to take the bunch of keys and go upstairs to find his room.

He preferred a quiet environment, so he chose the room furthest inside.

It was a double room with a bed on top and a desk below.

Lou Ting didn’t want to go back to get his clothes, so he simply ordered a few outfits online and bought all the necessary items.

The interstellar delivery speed was fast, and a hovering robot delivered the goods to his doorstep in just ten minutes.

Lou Ting spent the whole afternoon cleaning the dormitory.

The dormitory was already clean, so he saved a lot of trouble and simply organized the things he had bought online.

After he finished tidying up, the hot tea he brewed was just right.

Lou Ting sat on the edge of the bed, flipping through Weibo and occasionally taking a sip of tea, feeling quite content.

The trending topics on Weibo had already changed.

“The Youth Returns” was a popular program, and the pre-show hype had built up anticipation. Combined with the fact that the participating guests had their own fan bases, the live stream’s popularity soared, surpassing the platform’s average live stream by three times.

Lou Ting was at the top of the trending topics.

#Lou Ting’s True Face Behind the Mask#

#First Artist to Reach the 3S Level#

#Yan Zige boldly arrogant#

Several trending topics lined up one after another.

Lou Ting randomly clicked on one, and amidst the onlookers’ excitement and curiosity, fans of Zhan Yunqi swarmed in to hurl insults.

How could the person who hurt their idol still be living well, and even trending positively? They would never allow it!

Compared to their profanity-laden comments, Lou Ting’s fans calmly responded with memes and controlled evaluations.

One of the fans who was hurling insults commented: [Heh, a meme battle? Do you think I’ll lose to you?]

[That’s Lou Ting.]

[Lou Ting? This scumbag hurt my idol…]

Before this comment could be finished, after a while, the fan weakly added: [Actually… if Lou Ting looked like this, then I guess we can’t entirely blame him for the incident of him hitting someone.]
