Chapter 522: Chapter 520 Ready to Start [2nd Update]

Just when everyone couldn’t believe their eyes, Lu Xiaobu picked up the microphone, and his voice traveled through the speakers into everyone’s ears at the plaza.

"Are you satisfied with the performances we presented to you today?!"

"Satisfied!" The roaring voices of the players were incessant, their calls shaking the heavens!

How could they not be satisfied?!

They were more than satisfied!

"As long as you’re satisfied, that means our efforts weren’t in vain."

Lu Xiaobu’s lips curved into a slight smile: "I guess everyone has figured it out by now, the figures displayed in the plaza are indeed wax figures, so everyone feel free to take photos."

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, everyone immediately cheered.

"Young Master Bu is awesome!"

"Thank you so much, Young Master Bu!"

"Ha ha ha ha, I want to take a photo with Gai Lun!"

"Darius is my favorite champion!"

"..."

But some people also expressed their doubts.

"Young Master Bu, maybe we shouldn’t! It would be bad if they got damaged!"

"Yeah, there are too many people. With this many people, any minor accident could be troublesome!"

"Everyone should just take photos from a distance, leave something for others who didn’t see them!"

"Well said! Agreed!"

"..."

Hearing these remarks, the players who were originally eager to rush forward also stopped in their tracks.

Although they felt it a pity, they knew the others were right!

There were too many people; any small accident could be disastrous!

"It’s okay!" At this point, Lu Xiaobu spoke again: "These wax figures won’t last long in this weather anyhow."

"So everyone just go ahead and take photos to your heart’s content! Let them fulfill their final value!"

"Of course, we still ask that you try your best to preserve their original state to prolong their survival time a bit!"

Hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words, everyone once again got excited!

"Yay!"

"Long live Young Master Bu!"

"6666! Amazing!"

"Such a grand gesture, who else could pull this off besides Young Master Bu?!"

"Yeah, a single wax figure must cost a pretty penny, let alone over ten thousand of them!"

"No kidding! If you look at these wax figures, although there are slight differences from the movements of the actors, the overall consistency is maintained! The amount of financial resources, materials, and time needed to match the wax figures to the actors’ actions is unimaginable!"

"The more you talk, the less I dare to take photos, I’d feel like a criminal if I accidentally damaged such beautiful things!"

"Yeah! Let’s all be as careful as we can!"

"..."

How satisfying to hear such words, right?!

So, why the hell do you keep focusing on news about low quality, poor behavior and ignore the good stuff?!

"An hour’s time for everyone, and then the opening battle will officially begin!" Lu Xiaobu said gratified.

With Lu Xiaobu’s command, the plaza began to get busy.

Not only were the audience members excited and bustling, but the cosplay participants also came out one after another to take photos with everyone.

...

An hour passed by quickly!

"Hi everyone."

A very familiar voice suddenly resonated!

With the voice’s emergence, Sun Wanqi’s exquisite face appeared on all the big screens!

This caused the audience, whose excitement had just slightly subsided, to boil over once again!

"Damn, am I hearing things? Isn’t that the voice of Sun Wanqi, Queen Sun?"

"You’re not mistaken, I heard it too!"

"Queen Sun! It’s actually Queen Sun, oh my gosh! Lu Xiaobu actually brought Queen Sun back again! And to a competition, no less!"

"My bro’s the real deal! That’s so awesome!"

"..."

Following the successful event, Sun Wanqi’s popularity also soared, and more people got to know her!

Before, during the event, everyone was already surprised that Lu Xiaobu could invite Sun Wanqi!

After all, for Queen of Heaven to appear on such an obscure show was like a wild fantasy!

However, following the success of the event, everyone realized that Sun Wanqi joining the event was a smart move!

Well, the singing competition was one thing since it was all about music!

But this time!

For a LOL competition, Lu Xiaobu actually invited Queen Sun again, that really demonstrated the extent of Lu Xiaobu’s influence!

And then some people started whispering.

"Does Lu Xiaobu actually have something going on with Queen Sun?!"

"Right?! He’s pretty badass!"

"6666!"

"But the two of them do seem well-matched!"

"..."

Sun Wanqi continued speaking softly: "This competition..."

It’s not necessary to go into her exact words.

Sun Wanqi’s script was professionally crafted, quite standard and unremarkable.

But even so, just the name Sun Wanqi, that alone was enough to stir up the audience’s emotions to the extreme!

"Oh my god! Queen Sun is actually the spokesperson for this competition, doesn’t that mean we might actually get to see Queen Sun in person at the venue?!"

"Eh, eh, why was I so lazy and didn’t buy a ticket!"

"Yeah, had I known Queen Sun was also going to be here, I would have fought tooth and nail for a ticket!"

"Massive loss!"

"Hehe, I had the foresight; I knew the preparations by Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t be modest!"

"So, did you get a ticket?! I’ll pay double the price, would you sell it to me?!"

"Hehe, I only said I had foresight, I didn’t say I got a ticket! If I had a ticket, would I still be here?!"

"I! I ought to smack you!"

"..."

Regardless of the uproar outside.

Inside the venue, the event had officially begun.

The audience was murmuring quietly.

"It’s finally starting, I feel like my heart is about to jump out!"

"Yeah! It’s starting, it’s starting!"

"Hey, who do you think the host is?"

"Whoever it is doesn’t matter, right? Who watches the host at such a competition?"

"That’s true, but it’s not just us here, there are a bunch of others waiting to see us fail! Plus, Young Master Bu is known for his grand gestures, I think the host won’t disappoint."

"That makes sense!"

"..."

As these people were discussing,

Those who had somehow managed to get tickets were scoffing.

But their faces didn’t look so good at the moment; some were dirty, some were sporting dark circles under their eyes, and some had a bruised nose and swollen face!

These were the repercussions of their earlier life and aspiration chats.

But the more this was the case, the stronger their resentment toward Lu Xiaobu became!

"The higher the flight, the worse the fall!"

"All flash, no substance – they won’t make it big!"

"That’s right, just wait and watch their failure!"

"The commentary and direction are key. Without those, everything else is nonsense!"

"..."
