Aromatherapy City, Divine Tree Arena, inside the players’ rest area.
Nearly a hundred people dressed in different styles sat in their respective positions in an orderly manner, waiting for the game to start.
Some of them are bold and sexy, some are subtle and elegant, and some are even more gorgeous.
Looking around, it's colorful.
However, their clothes are not random, most of them are to match their own elves.
The girl standing next to Miss Skirt is wearing a light green floral dress...
The trainer who comforted the timid Floating Bubbles was so dazzling that it would be a sunny performance soon...
Wearing an aqua blue bikini, it looks like a young lady who is not living in the same season as others is having sex with Eevee...
In the seat in the back row, a handsome young man wearing a decent off-white suit was holding a diving ball in his hand, looking in a certain direction from time to time in a daze.
…
Good guy, I look like I have a lot of acquaintances.
Xia Chen silently looked away, recalling the famous coordination trainers in previous games or animations he had seen in just half an hour.
The girl wearing a sky blue idol uniform with cotton on her wrists and ankles that resemble white clouds must be Rukia.
The girl with flaxen hair and a hunting swallowtail butterfly dancing around her is most likely Xiaoyao.
The blue-haired girl sitting next to him, holding a Pogaman looking around with love in his eyes from time to time, might be Xiao Guang.
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 was leisurely leaning on a soft chair with his eyes closed to relax.
His appearance is quite low, and it may not be his turn by the end of this morning.
Besides, it’s just the preliminary round now, so there’s nothing to be nervous about.
His confidence stems not only from his knowledge of the Gorgeous Competition, but also from his research and practice with Senbumenas and others in the Aromatherapy Gym these days.
Even Ms. Ma Xiu was amazed by the final few selected performance plans.
Of course, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
In his spare time, Xia Chen occasionally watches the performance videos of his competitors online.
He found that the current mainstream performance forms are still somewhat rigid in showing the moves themselves and lack imagination.
It's normal, after all, the gorgeous show has only appeared in this world for two months.
Times always need promoters, and Xia Chen, who secretly created the gorgeous competition, doesn't mind becoming this person.
…………
The competition rules of the first gorgeous competition were roughly the plan that Xia Chen and Ma Xiu discussed in the gym two months ago, and were slightly modified by the alliance.
The competition will be divided into three rounds, preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and finals.
In each round of competition, the number of elves that players can use are one, two, and three respectively.
This is slightly different from the previous gorgeous contest rules.
But Xia Chen feels that this will not only make the game more interesting for the audience, but also give the players more room to play in each round.
Xia Chen also discussed the idea of gorgeous battle with Ma Xiu, and they agreed that it would be better for this competition format to appear in later competitions as a "version update" after the competition matures.
Therefore, the first competition will focus on the individual performances of the contestants.
As for the scoring rules, Xia Chen did not mess with those common methods of public review or online voting that were common in previous variety show competitions.
The four gym leaders who serve as judges each hold 25 points. They will score the contestants after their performance. The sum of the scores is the final score.
Simple rules are only used to present the purest charm of elf performances.
Amid much anticipation, at nine o'clock sharp, the host took to the stage, and the first gorgeous contest finally began.
The remaining ninety-nine players and their elves sitting in the rest area also stopped their movements in a tacit understanding at this time, and all looked at the big screen hanging on the wall.
——————
"Good morning to all my friends at the scene and before the live broadcast! Welcome to the first gorgeous contest. I am the host Vivian."
The host, with a warm smile on his face, wore big golden waves on his shoulders and a burgundy dress, looking bright and charming.
The packed audience was also very considerate and gave out waves of cheers like a roaring tsunami.
Vivian smiled playfully and put the index finger of her left hand in front of her lips.
"I can feel everyone's burning enthusiasm, but the gorgeous performance is completely different from the elf battle. In order not to affect the performance of the players and elf, as well as everyone's viewing experience, please allow us to maintain the utmost silence when the players perform.
Okay?"
Most of the people who can spend a lot of money to watch the game live are those who really like gorgeous performances, and the volume in the audience instantly dropped a lot.
Vivian smiled and said: "Thank you all for your cooperation. Next, please allow me to introduce today's guest judges! All of them are excellent trainers who have in-depth research in the field of elf beauty."
The host was naturally introduced first, "First of all, the owner of the Aromatherapy Gym and the world-famous fashion designer, Miss Ma Xiu!"
Wearing a butterfly dress and looking as beautiful as an elf, Miss Ma Xiu stood up from the judges' seat with a smile.
"Welcome to Aromatherapy City, I hope everyone can enjoy this gorgeous feast."
The audience that had just calmed down burst into warm applause and cheers, paying the highest respect to this "Grandmaster".
Most of the people who fall in love with gorgeous performances got their start from Ma Xiu's performances.
Next is Michaeli.
"The gym leader of Liuli City, a world-famous artist, Mr. Mikri."
Mikri, who was so beautiful that even men couldn't help but fall in love with her, stood up and bowed gracefully.
"Let us witness together, the person who can dance the most gorgeous dance on this stage!"
Mikri's popularity is also quite high, and the audience applauded without hesitation.
Next is Xiaoxia and Lijia.
After Vivian finished introducing the judges one by one, she smiled mysteriously.
"Then, let's invite the first contestant of the first gorgeous contest, Miss Ayako from the Hoenn region!"
After finishing her speech, Vivian exited from the wings of the stage.
On the other side of the stage, a delicate woman wearing a pink and purple cheongsam walked onto the stage.
Standing in the center of the stage, Ayako took a deep breath, touched her chest with her left hand, and bowed to the judges and the audience behind them.
The elf ball was thrown, and an elegant cat with shiny hair and excellent breeding appeared.
The first game of the gorgeous contest officially begins!
…………
In the player lounge, Xia Chen also watched carefully the first performance 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?
"Johnny, use Blizzard!"
On the screen, Ayako and her elegant cat named Jonny have started performing.
Following the soft call of the elegant cat, flakes of snow suddenly began to float in the originally sunny sky.
Snowflakes as white as goose feathers fell densely from the sky. Soon, heavy snow was falling around Ayako and Elegant Cat, and a pure white curtain seemed to be hung on the stage.
Frankly speaking, if it is used as a field control damage move in battle, this blizzard, which has neither biting cold wind nor biting snow, is definitely unqualified.
But in the gorgeous arena, this blizzard, which can almost remove the word "storm", actually demonstrates the elegant cat's precise control of moves.
The audience looked at the stage eagerly, anticipating how Elegant Cat would use the snowstorm to present a gorgeous visual feast.
After a while, fine snowflakes spread a thick layer of pure white on the stage, and the elegant cat walked on it with light steps, leaving a series of small and cute plum blossom footprints.
"Johnny, make snowballs!"
Ayako's second instruction seemed a little strange, to make snowballs?
This doesn't seem to be a move...
Both the audience in the seats and the players in the rest area were curiously thinking about the purpose of Ayako's instructions.
Xia Chen looked thoughtfully at the elegant cat that started to circle on the screen. It seemed that Ayako was going to use some moves to coordinate with Snowball.
…………
On the field, Elegant Cat rolled a snowball the size of a rubber ball with its tail as flexible as a hand.
It's not over yet, the second, the third... During the snowstorm, seven such snowballs were made.
The heavy snow stopped and Elegant Cat stopped rolling the snowball.
"Next, Johnny, use the chain slap!"
The hand-like tail gently picked up the rolled snowballs, and then used a series of slaps to slap them one by one into the high sky almost simultaneously.
This is not an easy thing to do, it requires a high balance between strength and speed.
If the force is too small, the snowball will not fly high at all and will fall down quickly. If the force is too strong, the snowball that is not acquainted will undoubtedly be slapped away.
The Elegant Cat achieves this perfectly by controlling its tail like an arm and a finger.
Mi Keli in the judges' seat smiled and nodded slightly. Just from the graceful cat's flowing movements, one could tell that just this movement made them sweat a lot.
And just as Elegant Cat hit the snowball with a series of slaps, Ayako shouted: "Johnny, now, shadow ball!"
"Theo!"
The elegant cat, who was still controlling the tail to knock away the snowball, responded with a single-minded response, and then quickly condensed the ghost energy in his body.
When the last snowball flew high and the first snowball began to fall, Elegant Cat spit out small purple-black energy balls like bubbles, but containing explosive energy.
There are exactly seven small shadow balls fired, no more, no less, and the directions they are launched are also unbiased, one by one corresponding to the seven snowballs in the air.
"boom--"
This is the explosion sound made by the first snowball that was knocked away and the first shadow ball that was shot.
Like Mars hitting the Earth, two spheres with unstable structures exploded, and the molecules that made up the spheres flew away.
The crystal white snow and the purple-black ghost energy collided and merged in the air, and they magically merged into purple crystals that were as charming as light.
Then came the second one, the third one... After seven soft explosions, pairs of snowballs and shadow balls disappeared.
No, they did not disappear, but turned into a strange and beautiful snow scene shining with purple light, presented to tens of millions of viewers.
Purple snowflakes fell and covered the bodies of the elegant cat and Ayako directly below. The cat and the cat bowed gracefully, bringing this beautiful performance to a successful conclusion.
…………
The snow fell, and the audience burst into applause.
No audience expected that they would see such a novel and beautiful performance in the first game of the preliminary round.
Blizzard, serial slap, and shadow ball, three unrelated moves, can produce such a wonderful reaction after colliding together.
The first game gave the audience enough surprises!
The four bosses at the judges' table couldn't help but applaud and nod in praise, fully affirming the performance of Ayako and Elegant Cat.
Mikri first commented, "A 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 performances!"
This evaluation can be said to be very high, but the audience did not feel it was inappropriate. Ayako's performance deserves such praise.
Ma Xiu commented: "A very touching performance. More importantly, I saw the collision of different moves in this performance. This is the most valuable thing. I hope you can continue to do it."
Having witnessed Xia Chen's more shocking performances in the past few days, with Zhuyu in front, Ma Xiu's evaluation of this performance was not so high.
Lijia and Xiaoxia also had similar evaluations to Mikri.
The final scores given by the four people were 23, 21, 24, and 23.
Ayako, who appeared first, got an absolutely high score of 91!
Backstage, the contestants in the rest area were even more commotion. They were either amazed, worried, or envious as they looked at Ayako who bowed in thanks.
The outstanding performance of the first player is naturally not good news for the people behind.
Just like a cooking competition, if the food cooked by the person in front is too good, the judges will feel that it is boring after eating the food later.
Therefore, it is inevitable for these players to have some worries in their hearts.
…………
Xiaoguang, who was holding Bogaman, looked at Ayako who seemed to be shining on the screen, her eyes full of longing.
"That's awesome, Miss Ayako, Pogaman, we'll have to work hard soon!"
"Bop clip!"
The blue-headed round penguin responded energetically, with fighting spirit in its eyes.
"Well... I've already thought of relying on a combination of moves to create wonderful scenes. It's a bit of a trick, but it's still not enough..."
A slight muttering next to him caught Xiaoguang's attention.
Something?
But not enough?
The condescending comment made Xiaoguang, who was already impressed by Ayako's performance, frown and look away, only to see a tall and handsome young man wearing an off-white suit next to him, stroking his chin and muttering to himself.
Although he knew that he was just talking to himself, Xiaoguang still couldn't help but interject.
"Even Mr. Mikri praised this performance as amazing. What do you think is missing?"
