Mu and Su took off their gaming helmets amid applause from the audience.
There is no distinction between the two who died together, but there is no extra reward for being first. The important thing is actually the process.
Eugene said some procrastinating words, and when the total time of the program reached 55 minutes, he announced that it had entered the final voting session and entered commercials.
"Welcome back to Superstar. This show is sponsored by [Legendary Pictures]. We have the most 10-point films in the galaxy - a perfect score of 100."
So isn’t this advertising slogan really inviting bad guys? Clark couldn’t control his inner desire to complain.
After Eugene finished reading the sponsor, he began to use his usual gentle tone to express as passionately as possible: "Then the final winner of the "Superstar" monthly competition is-"
Eugene's long voice combined with the intense drum beats of the background music gives people a tense atmosphere.
Bang!
A beam of light descended from Mu Su's head.
"Musu!" Eugene shouted Musu's name.
The audience stood up and applauded warmly. The other three contestants also stood up and applauded, although only Philip was sincerely congratulating him.
It can be said that the winner of the championship is not beyond the expectations of most viewers. Unless a star with tens of millions of fans and a die-hard fan joins the competition, it will be difficult to shake Mu Su's status.
The monthly competition champion program team prepared a trophy: a gold-plated statuette. Eugene took it and handed it to Mu Su who came to the stage.
As usual, the host needs to interview the champion. Eugene smiled and said: "The championship is well-deserved. Mu Su and other players have brought us an audio-visual feast. Let us first thank them with warm applause!"
The audience who had just finished applauding had no choice but to applaud again.
Eugene faced the camera and said: "I think the audience must be curious about Mu Su's identity now that the program is going on, right? The program team has done some small research before this, let's take a look..."
Eugene took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it.
At the end of the show, the audience who was about to close down was successfully aroused.
In the audience, Charlie's eyes narrowed and his brows gradually furrowed. The current paragraph was not in the script at all, and the production team had never conducted an investigation.
"Should we start..." he murmured to himself.
Let me see. You have worked so hard to put superstars on popular programs, invited Mu Su to produce short dramas to build momentum, and make them a top star. What exactly do you want to do?
The piece of paper was unfolded by Eugene. With a smile, he read out the content without any suspense: "Mu Su, male, born in... 1994, member of the ofTum organization."
The atmosphere in the studio was stagnant. They were sure they heard Eugene's words correctly. They were stunned and felt a strong sense of absurdity.
Then there was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Not including Charlie. His eyes were full of disbelief.
After spending a month together day and night, he clearly knew the energy and strength of this group of people. So what they determined was probably the truth.
And the truth is that this madman is over 400 years old...?
The same goes for transparent bridges.
"I read it correctly. Player Musu was born at the end of the 20th century, which means he is now 444 years old. Mr. Musu... are you correct?"
Eugene looked at Mu Su, there was no smile at all in his smile.
"What he said is absolutely correct." Mu Su raised his head proudly, and might have put his hands on his hips if he hadn't been holding the statuette.
The laughter became even louder, and Mu Su's performance made those who started to doubt it as a prank.
Eugene didn't seem to care at all about being misunderstood by the audience. He put away the note and continued: "The current world record for the longest-lived human being is 168 years old. Mr. Musu, do you have any opinion on this?"
"I only know that I didn't get a single point from the world record bonus." Mu Su stared at the camera with dead fish eyes, causing a burst of laughter.
Eugene did not continue to ask questions as Charlie expected, but made a few jokes and began to finish his remarks to the camera.
This is the end of the "Superstar" monthly competition. There will be contestant interviews afterwards, with Clark asking a few pre-prepared, insignificant questions in the interview room.

14th Ring Interstellar Entertainment Channel Headquarters
Director's room
When Charlie came in, Eugene was already waiting for him.
There was no light in the room, and all you could see was a silhouette in front of the window blocking the night of Beta City.
Too many questions were stuck in his head and twisted into a ball. He was smart enough not to ask any of them.
Knowing too much is not a good thing. He is a man who can suppress curiosity in his heart.
"The mission is completed, and our cooperation can end. The program is now yours."
A voice came from the dull room.
Charlie loosened his clenched fists slightly and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the good news. "Thank you."
Eugene turned around and walked around the desk and passed Charlie.
His voice rang in my ears.
"It's just a transaction."
Bang.
The door closed behind him, leaving only Charlie in the room.
Charlie still stood there, thinking silently. What on earth are they going to do? Are they spending all their money and manpower just to say this sentence at the end? OfTum was mentioned before... a very familiar name.
Is this the end...?
Of course their preparations don't stop there.
At the end of the show, there are two invisible hands behind the scenes that are promoting the development of the situation.
The evening news on the 14th Ring Interstellar News Channel reported this matter. There were also many local news columns with sensational headlines.
"The Man 2000 Years Ago"
"People Born in 1994"
"The Last Member of Tum"
"He is from 1994"
Relevant news broke out all at once, and people who knew Mu Su spread from the audience of "Super Star" to every resident of the Fourteenth Ring Road and even citizens of the Federation.
It's just that there are more residents in the 14th Ring Road.
At the same time that "Superstar" ended, some people appeared in forums on major websites to discuss the matter, either from the perspective of bystanders or from the perspective of passers-by.
Mu Su’s past was “digged” out. He was discharged from an unknown mental hospital in July this year. Before that, his identity was completely blank and he had no past information.
And the ofTum organization. A mysterious organization that was born in the early 20th century and lasted until its disappearance in the mid-22nd century. There is no evidence to prove that it ever existed. Today, it mostly exists in news such as conspiracy theories or weird stories.
But many people don't buy it - they regard it as hype. After all, there are too many ways to hype these days. People who claim to have traveled back from the future, people who claim to have been captured by aliens and transformed into perfect beings, and so on.
There are people who claim to be aliens.
Even an extremely long lifespan and an organization that once secretly controlled humans, these two elements have appeared in the Federation at least dozens of times.
But there are always some people who believe...
At this time, Mu Su, the key figure in the incident, returned to the family hotel and went upstairs to open the door.
The room was dark, and the holographic screen was flashing brightly. Mu Su did not go in, but stood at the boundary between light and darkness by the door.
