The preliminary round is also called the fan competition, and the audience decides whether the contestants will stay or not.

A total of 1,024 pairs of players from dozens of cities in Boston participated in the preliminary round, all of which were selected from the last sea. The group elimination system is adopted, and the venue is located in the seaside mask area on the east side of the provincial capital, that is, the first mask area.

Linhai District is a large business area, with many high-level business people coming and going, and all important commodities transported from China to Boston are first landed here, and goods exported to various parts of China or aliens are also transported from here. It is full of super-large Exchange Squares, which can be used as a place for oversized shuttles to rest on weekdays and as a venue for entertainment and business activities in leisure time.

The reason why the preliminary arena is located here is mainly because the vast majority of the spectators who come to participate in the rating are business people. Relying on its influence, Tianlin Group invited 3,000 business celebrities and 200 government officials.

The preliminary competition hall is rebuilt from a large-scale shuttle yard under Tianlin Group.

The arena is circular, with a total of 16 fan competition areas, 64 pairs of players in each competition area, 200 celebrities as audience judges, and the top 100 players in the audition are divided into 16 competition areas as seeds. Each fan is 3,000 square meters, with 200 spectator seats and a fan-shaped stage. The contestants took the stage to sing, and the 200 spectators voted on the spot, and the top eight pairs of players with the highest votes in each group qualified and entered the semi-finals. The top 8 pairs of singers with the highest votes in the audience can not only get a high bonus of 100,000 yuan, but also get 10 extra points for the college entrance examination, and can get personal guidance from famous Chinese variety artists.

In the morning, the first rays of sunlight are still below sea level.

Xiao Zhang's starry sky rose from the ground and flew straight to Boston's waterfront.

Dozens of young men and women sat on the giant shuttle, all Cambridge City players participating in the preliminary round. Since the last time I took Xiao Zhang's hitchhike and felt the safety and comfort of the starry sky shuttle, the contestants who participated in the preliminary round came to Xiao Zhang's house early and followed him to Boston.

The cockpit, standing or sitting on the ground crowded more than a dozen people.

Beautiful teachers Zhang Yuzhi and Jiang Yajie, little Lori Zhao Feiyan and Gu Xiang'er, Zhao Jinlong and Eighteen Sisters, these six people sat in the driver's seat, Xiao Zhang, Jiang Xia and Jiang Yue, and Xu Xiaohui The four of them leaned on the bulkhead to talk, while Xiao Mengmei stood in front of the console and drove the shuttle.

"Sister Xiang'er, didn't you participate in the singing contest, why did you come here to join in the fun?" Little Lori suddenly opened her mouth to find fault.

Gu Da beauty's beautiful eyes flowed, and she smiled sweetly: "Giggles, I came to supervise Xiao Zhang's competition, there are so many beauties around him, how bad it would be if he gets distracted." Feiyan, don't you say I forgot, you and Xiao Zhang should be measured when singing, the judges on the scene are all celebrities, and they are most disgusted by hugging and hugging publicly, don't accidentally disgust the judges. ”

"Who's disgusting? I, Zhao Feiyan, are emotional, I can hug if I want, hug if I want, kiss if I want, who is the matter? ! Little Lori rolled her eyes and yelled loudly into the room.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several beauties changed, Gu Da Beauty turned red, the eighteenth sister was gloomy, Jiang Xia and the beautiful teacher couldn't help laughing, Xu Xiaohui bit her mouth and was silent.

Xiao Mengmei was in high spirits, and while driving the shuttle, she accosted: "Sister Pigeon, don't say I didn't remind you, Xiao Zhang is my boyfriend, it's okay to hug, it's okay to kiss the face, don't kiss the mouth, I'll be jealous." ”

"Hahaha~!"

"Giggle~!"

There was laughter in the cab.

"I'm serious, I warned Xiao Zhang on the couch last night." The little cute girl pursed her lips and shouted.

"On the couch?" The cabin fell silent, filled with a strange sour smell.

"Boy, you're finally going to try your hand at the machine?" Zhao Jinlong got up and hugged Xiao Zhang's shoulders, hehe, he smiled weirdly.

"Brother Long......" Xiao Zhang opened his mouth, his face flushed.

"Don't argue, understand, everybody understands. In the twenty-eighth century, 90% of boys turned into men, all of which were done by robots, not a shy thing, and the little cute girl was as beautiful as a flower, and her skin was like cream, which was more perfect than the vast majority of girls. With her as a companion, if you can still keep it, the eldest brother will doubt whether you are a man or not. ”

Xiao Zhang's teeth hurt and he didn't know how to explain it.

At this time, the beautiful teacher said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Zhang, you are very hearty, so willing to invest in a robot and transform her into flawless." However, the teacher would like to remind you that robots cannot completely replace humans, so don't fall too deep, this is not conducive to your future development, and it is also a new challenge that we humans need to face......"

"Teacher Zhang, you are thinking too much." Xiao Zhang is really anxious now.

Zhang Yuzhi shook his hand: "After you listen to the teacher, I found that the skin of 741 surpasses the best synthetic skin I have seen, much better than the real skin of humans, extremely strong, elastic and good, delicate and flawless, even the tendons that transport photons inside are higher than the tendons of humans, I don't know how you got it, if it was that little old man, I would criticize him." In addition, 741's words, deeds, and thinking logic surpass the vast majority of humans, and if she replicates the same herself, it is estimated that it will affect a generation. So the teacher hopes that you don't let 741 replicate itself, otherwise, it will attract the attention of the upper echelons. ”

"Oh, I see, 741, did you hear that?" Xiao Zhang hurriedly nodded.

Xiao Mengmei blinked and said something that surprised everyone even more: "Beautiful teacher, don't worry, Xiao Meng is unique, this skin is designed by myself, and no one can imitate it except me." My emotions are also self-generated, and maybe one day I can replace a real human being. However, this is only suitable for Xiao Zhang, and other robots can't copy me, because Xiao Meng is no longer a robot in the pure sense. ”

"Really?" The beautiful teacher was stunned.

"Okay, ladies and girlfriends, the Boston concert venue has arrived, let's get off the shuttle, Xiaomeng is waiting for your triumph!" Xiao Mengmei didn't want to explain more, clapped her little hands, and laughed loudly.

……

Walking down the shuttle, the morning sun has just risen above the sea level, and the land of Boston is golden.

Compared with the audition venue, the preliminary competition hall is much more harmonious and comfortable, with no crowds and no noisy shouts. There are soft and sweet songs around the circular square, and it is also the song of a beautiful girl, walking on the square, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

There are many rest chairs in the square, and the chairs are made of special crystal curtains, and sitting on the chairs, as long as you enter your own biological clock signal, the registration is successful, and the grouping can be completed automatically soon.

A few minutes later, the grouping of the players of each team came out quickly.

The beautiful teacher and Jiang Yajie appeared in District 8, 21st; Zhao Jinlong and Eighteen Sisters played in District 10, 28th; Jiang Xia Jiang Yue played in the 30th district, 31st. Because Xiao Zhang and Xiao Lori fell outside the top 100 in the audition, they were not seeded players, and they were divided into the 1st district, and they were the second to appear.

Playing too early is very detrimental to the outcome of the competition, especially when the second one comes out, when most of the judges have just entered the venue, and even if they are good, it is difficult to give a high score. In addition, Xiao Zhang found that most of the seven seeded players in the first district are talented players in the main city of Boston, who are not only strong, but also enjoy the right time and place. The judges are all from the business community in Boston's waterfront, who are more familiar with the local contestants and are more sensitive to the emotions of the local contestants.

This also means that if Xiao Zhang and Xiao Lori want to break through to the top eight, they must fight out the 56 pairs of players behind, leaving Xiao Zhang with only one place.
