Chapter 140: Something, But Not Enough!
Aroma City, Sacred Tree Arena, Players' Rest Area.
Nearly 100 people dressed in different clothes sat in their respective positions in an orderly manner, waiting for the game to begin.
There are those who dress boldly and sexily, those who dress subtly and elegantly, and those who dress gorgeously.
As far as the eye can see, it is purple and red.
However, they don't dress randomly, most of them are for their own elves.
The girl standing next to the lady with the skirt was wearing a pale green floral dress.
The trainer who soothes the timid floating bubbles is dazzling and shining, and it must be a performance that is mainly sunny for a while.
Dressed in an aqua blue bikini, it seems that the young lady who is not living with others in a season is sticking to the water Ibu
In the back seat, a handsome young man in a decent beige suit held a diving ball in his hand, looking in a certain direction from time to time in a daze.
……
Good guys, acquaintances really look like a lot.
Xia Chen silently retracted his gaze, thinking back to the famous coordination trainers in the games or animations he had seen in his previous life in just half an hour.
The girl in the sky-blue idol costume with cotton dotted like white clouds on her wrists and ankles is probably Rukia.
Flaxen hair, a hunting phoenix butterfly dancing around the girl is likely to be Xiao Yao.
Sitting next to him, holding a blue-haired girl with a Bogaman looking around and looking around with a loving eye from time to time, it may be Xiaoguang.
It seems that no matter which parallel world they are in, their love for the Gorgeous Contest will never change.
There were only ten minutes left before the start of the game, but Xia Chen leisurely leaned on the soft chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
He's pretty late in the order and he won't necessarily get his turn at the end of this morning.
Besides, it's only the preliminary round, so there's nothing to be nervous about.
His self-confidence stems not only from his own understanding of the Magnificent Competition, but also from the research and practice he has been practicing with the Zenmmenas in the Aromatherapy Gym in the past few days.
In the end, several sets of finished performance plans were selected, and even Miss Ma Xiu was amazed when she saw it.
Of course, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
In his spare time, Xia Chen occasionally looks at the performance videos of his competitors on the Internet.
He found that the current mainstream performance form is still a bit confined to the display of the move itself, lacking imagination.
It's also normal, after all, the gorgeous show has only been in this world for two months.
The times always need promoters, and Xia Chen, who secretly created the gorgeous competition, doesn't mind being this person.
…………
The rules of the first Gorgeous Contest were roughly the plan that Xia Chen and Ma Xiu discussed in the gym two months ago, and then slightly modified by the alliance.
The competition will be divided into three rounds, the preliminary round, the semi-final, and the final.
In each round, players can use one, two, and three spirits.
This is a slight departure from the rules of the Gorgeous Contest in the previous life.
But Xia Chen feels that this can not only make the audience have a progressive interest when watching the game, but also the more space for the players to play in each round.
Xia Chen also discussed the idea of a gorgeous battle with Ma Xiu, and they agreed that this form of competition would be better to appear in the later games as a "version update" after the development of the competition.
Therefore, the first competition was dominated by the individual performances of the contestants.
As for the scoring rules, Xia Chen didn't rectify the common demon methods of public judging or online voting in variety show competitions in his previous life.
Each of the four gym owners who are judges will receive 25 points, and the contestants will be scored after the performance, and the sum of the scores will be the final score.
The simple rules are only to present the purest charm of the elf show.
In anticipation, at nine o'clock, the host walked on the stage, and the first gorgeous competition finally opened.
The remaining ninety-nine players and their elves sitting in the rest area also tacitly stopped their movements at this time, and looked at the big screen hanging on the wall.
——————
"Good morning, friends on site and before the live broadcast! Welcome to the first edition of the Magnificent Contest, where I'm the host Vivian. ”
The host with a warm smile on his face is draped in golden waves and dressed in a burgundy dress, looking bright and moving.
The audience at the scene was also very face-saving, and there were bursts of cheers like a tsunami.
Vivien smiled playfully and put the index finger of her left hand in front of her lips.
"I can feel everyone's enthusiasm, but the gorgeous performance is completely different from the elf battle, so in order not to affect the performance of the players and the elves, as well as everyone's viewing experience, please let us keep the players as quiet as possible while they are performing, okay?"
Most of the people who can pay a lot of money to watch the game live are quite fond of gorgeous performances, and the volume in the audience is instantly lowered a lot.
Vivian smiled, "Thank you for your cooperation, so let me introduce today's guest judges!" All of them are excellent trainers who have studied the beauty of elves in depth. ”
The first to be introduced is naturally the host, "First of all, the owner of the Aromatherapy Gym, the world-famous fashion designer, Miss Ma Xiu!" ”
Dressed in a butterfly dress, Miss Ma Xiu, who was as beautiful as an elf, stood up from the judges' seat with a smile.
"Welcome to Aromatherapy City, and I hope you can enjoy this gorgeous feast."
The audience that had just quieted down burst into warm applause and cheers, giving this "grandmother" the highest respect.
Most of the people who fall in love with gorgeous performances enter the pit from the performances of Ma embroidery.
This is followed by Mikkeli.
"The owner of the Liuli City Gym, a world-famous artist, Mr. Mikkeli."
Mikkeli, who was so beautiful that even a man couldn't help but be moved, stood up and bowed gracefully.
"Let's witness the person who can dance the most gorgeous dance on this stage!"
Mikoli's popularity was also quite high, and the audience did not hesitate to give applause.
Next is Xiaoxia and Lijia.
When Vivien finished introducing the judges one by one, she smiled mysteriously.
"Next, let's invite the first contestant to appear in the first gorgeous contest, Miss Ayako from the Hoenn region!"
With that, Vivien withdrew from the flank of the stage.
On the other side of the stage, a delicate woman in a pink and purple cheongsam stepped onto the stage.
Standing in the center of the stage, Ayako took a deep breath, stroked her chest with her left hand, and bowed to the judges and the audience behind them.
The Poké Ball is thrown, and a graceful cat with bright glowing fur and excellent breeding from the appearance appears.
The first game of the Gorgeous Contest has officially begun!
…………
In the players' lounge, Xia Chen also watched the debut of this top coordination trainer who had won a gorgeous large-scale celebration in the animation.
I wonder how she will behave in this parallel world?
"Jonny, use a blizzard!"
On the screen, Ayako and her elegant cat named Jonny have already begun their performance.
With the gentle call of the elegant cat, snowflakes suddenly floated in the originally sunny sky.
Snowflakes as white as goose feathers fell from the sky, and in a few moments, Ayako and Grace Cat were surrounded by heavy snow, and a pure white curtain seemed to be hung on the stage.
Frankly speaking, if it is used as a control field damage move in battle, this blizzard with neither a cold wind nor a biting snow is definitely not qualified.
But in the gorgeous arena, this blizzard, which can almost remove the word "storm", instead shows the precise control of the elegant cat's moves.
The audience looked at the stage with anticipation, looking forward to how the elegant cat would use the blizzard to present a gorgeous visual feast.
After a while, the fine snowflakes spread a thick layer of pure white on the stage, and the elegant cat walked on it with light steps, leaving a string of small and lovely plum blossom footprints.
"Jonny, make snowballs!"
Ayako's second instruction is a little strange, make snowballs?
It doesn't seem like a move
Both the spectators and the players in the rest area were slightly curious about the purpose of Ayako's command.
Xia Chen looked thoughtfully at the elegant cat that began to circle on the screen, and it seemed that Ayako should be going to use her moves to do some coordination with the snowball.
…………
On the field, the elegant cat rolls a snowball the size of a leather ball with its tail as flexible as a hand.
Not to the end, the second, third during the duration of the snowstorm, such snowballs did there were seven.
When the snow stopped, the snowball of the graceful cat stopped.
"Next, Jonny, use a serial slap!"
The hand-like tail gently lifts the rolling snowballs, and then uses a series of slaps to slap them into the sky almost simultaneously.
This is not an easy thing to do, and it requires a high balance of power and speed.
The power is too small, the snowball can't fly high at all, and it will fall down soon, and the power is too great, and the snowball that is not considered to be acquainted will undoubtedly be slapped away.
And the elegant cat's control of the tail like an arm makes the fingers do this perfectly.
Michaelly, who was in the judges' seat, smiled and nodded slightly, judging from the graceful cat's flowing movements, they knew that they had sweated a lot just from this action.
And just as the elegant cat uses a series of slaps to fly the snowball, Ayako yells, "Jonny, it's now, Shadow Ball!" ”
"Theo!"
The elegant cat, which was still controlling its tail to hit the snowball, responded attentively, and then quickly condensed the ghostly energy in its body.
As the last snowball flew high and the first snowball began to fall, the elegant cat spat out small, purple-black energy balls that contained bursting energy like bubbles.
The small shadow balls shot out were no more than seven, and they were launched in the same direction, corresponding to the seven snowballs in the air.
"Bang-"
This is the explosion of the first snowball to shoot off and the first shadow ball to shoot.
Like Mars hitting the Earth, two unstable spheres burst open, and the molecules that make up the spheres scatter one after another.
The crystal white snow and the purple-black ghostly energy collided and fused in the air, and they magically fused into purple crystals that seemed to be as charming as light.
Then the second and third exploded with the soft sound of seven explosions, and the pair of snowballs and shadow balls all disappeared.
No, they did not disappear, but turned into a strange and beautiful snow scene that shimmered with purple light, presented to tens of millions of viewers.
Purple snowflakes fluttered and fell, covering the bodies of the elegant cat and Ayako directly below, and the one person and one cat shining all over their bodies bowed gracefully, drawing a successful end to this beautiful performance.
…………
The snow fell, and the audience applauded.
All the audience did not expect that in the first game of the preliminary round, they would be able to see such a novel and beautiful performance.
Blizzard, serial slaps, and shadow balls, three unrelated moves, after colliding together, they were able to react so wonderfully.
In the first game, the audience was pleasantly surprised!
The four bigwigs on the judges' bench couldn't help but applaud and nod their heads, fully affirming the performances of Ayako and Graceful Cat.
Michaley first commented, "Very amazing performance, better than any performance I have seen online in the past two months, you have opened up more possibilities for the future of gorgeous performance!" ”
This evaluation can be said to be very high, but the audience didn't feel inappropriate, Ayako's performance deserves such praise.
Ma Xiu commented: "Very moving performance, more importantly, I saw the collision of different moves in this performance, which is the most valuable point, I hope you can continue to maintain it." ”
In the past few days, I have seen Xia Chen's more shocking performance, and Zhuyu is in front, and Ma Xiu's evaluation of this performance is not so high.
Lijia and Xiaoxia are also similar to Mikoli's evaluations.
The final scores given by the four were 23, 21, 24, and 23.
Ayako, who was the first to appear, received an absolute high score of 91!
Backstage, the contestants in the rest area were even more agitated, looking at Ayako who bowed in thanks in amazement, worry, or envy.
The brilliant performance of the first player is naturally not good news for those who follow.
Just like a cooking competition, if the person in front of you makes a dish that is too good, the judges will feel tasteless when they eat it.
Therefore, it is inevitable that these players will have worries in their hearts.
…………
Holding Bogaman's small light, she looked at Ayako, who seemed to be shining on the screen, and her eyes were full of longing.
"That's amazing, Ayako-san, Bogaman, we'll have to do it later!"
"Poo-woo!"
The blue-headed round penguin responded with vigor, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Well, I've already thought of relying on a combination of moves to create a wonderful scene, something, but it's still not enough."
A small grunt beside him caught Hikari's attention.
Something?
But not enough?
The condescending evaluation made Xiaoguang, who had been impressed by Ayako's performance, frown and turned his head to look, but saw a young man in an off-white suit, with a long figure and a handsome appearance, touching his chin and muttering to himself.
Although he knew that people were just talking to themselves, Xiaoguang still couldn't help but interject.
"Even Mr. Michaelly praised the performance as amazing, what do you think is the difference?"
