After rebirth, the system helped me debut as the center

After a day of crazy fun, the sky gradually turned deep blue and black, and stars began to twinkle in the night sky. The trainees gathered in front of the carousel with colorful lights flashing, and they took their first group photo outdoors with laughter. The lights and starlight intertwined, reflecting on their young and energetic faces, as if at this moment, the beauty of them and the whole world was condensed in this photo.

On the way back to the manor, the car was filled with joyful laughter. The trainees were still immersed in the excitement of today's day-long trip to the amusement park and were exchanging their experiences.

"Today's carousel is so dreamy, the lights are so beautiful, it feels like entering a princess' fairy tale world." An intern said excitedly with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Yeah, and those snack stands, I've never eaten such delicious candied haws!" added another trainee, holding the delicious food they had just shared in the car.

"The roller coaster is also very exciting. People fly in front and souls chase behind."

"How dare you say that? Who was the one who couldn't even stand steadily after coming down?" The two trainees laughed.

The light in the carriage was soft and warm, shining on their faces, making them look particularly cozy.

The staff of the program team immediately posted tonight’s group photo online through the official publicity account and announced the broadcast time of the program.

This time is when netizens are just finishing their dinner and browsing their phones out of boredom. The trainees' bright smiles, youthful aura, and the energy and enthusiasm of young people instantly captured their hearts. The number of program reservations instantly soared, and the director couldn't stop smiling when he saw it.

Inside the basketball court of the manor, the trainees were standing in line in groups, looking at the eight boards covered with red cloth placed in front of them and discussing quietly.

"What are those boards covered by red cloth in the front? Why are they covered up?" a trainee asked curiously.

One of the trainees rolled his eyes at her in annoyance, "What else could it be? It must be the song selected for the first public performance. I just don't know what the taste of our production team is."

Ji Yunqi looked at the trainees who were obviously in better spirits than a few days ago, and greeted them happily, "Good morning, everyone. I heard that you went to the amusement park yesterday? Was it fun?"

"Fun!"

"Teacher Ji, let's go together next time!"

Ji Yunqi just smiled and didn't respond. With his popularity, it was difficult for him to go to shopping malls, amusement parks and other places where people gathered freely like ordinary people. Of course, he was not complaining. This was just everyone's own choice. As the saying goes, there is gain and loss. Popularity brought him a lot of things, but it also made him lose a lot.

Ji Yunqi leisurely reached into his jacket pocket and casually took out a button. With a "whoosh", the red cloth on the eight boards flew up at the same time, revealing their true appearance.

"Wow!" The trainees exclaimed in ignorance.

Ji Yunqi faced them and began to introduce the items on the boards to the trainees. "As you can see, the eight boards in front of you are the songs selected for our first public performance. They are all familiar songs, including TN's "Stay", He Jiayin's "Original Heart", Xia Lin's "High Heels", Mist's "Dream Girl", Su Yan's "Longing", Ye Yi's "Love", Manga Girl's "Cute", and the last one is Pretty Girl's song of the same name "Pretty Girl". I believe everyone has heard of it."

Seeing such a playlist, the trainees were excited. These were all the hit songs that were popular in recent years. There were cute, sexy, pure, traditional Chinese and sexy songs. It can be said that there were all kinds of styles, and every trainee could quickly find their own preferences.

Xia Zhiqiu secretly switched seats with Gu Ling. Since the haunted house trip, the relationship between the three of them has made great progress. She tugged at Ning Chaoyan's clothes and whispered in her ear, "Yanyan, shall we sing "Longing"? This is the only song with Chinese style, it should be suitable for us."

Ning Chaoyan secretly turned back to share her thoughts with her, "Let's listen to the rules first and see what's in our favor."

Ji Yunqi didn't let them wait any longer and immediately began to introduce the rules of the preliminary evaluation stage, "Since we are here at the basketball court, let's not waste time and exercise."

"The rules for song selection this time are very interesting. Our trainees can divide themselves into groups of 10 and do a 50-meter round-trip run. There will be a large timer on the right hand side of each person's starting point. Press the timing button when you start, and press the end button when you return to the starting point. The timer will show your round-trip run results. The trainee with the least time will start selecting songs first. If the time is the same, they will select songs in order of class level until the song is full. There will be a group of four to eight people for each song."

"For this first public performance, each song will form two teams, divided into Group A and Group B, and they will compete against each other. The team that is more popular with the audience will receive additional votes for the ranking. The trainee with the highest audience popularity in each group will also receive additional votes. So," Ji Yunqi showed a wicked smile, "the song is important, but the opponent and teammates are equally important. Now, I will give everyone 10 minutes to warm up, and everyone should be ready."

The trainees who knew each other gathered together to discuss.

"We should try our best not to be in opposing teams. For now, the faster we run, the more choices we have. There is no other way. Come on, everyone." Ning Chaoyan was also helpless. It was the first time she saw a talent show that relied on running to select songs. But it was understandable that the show had not been aired yet and there was no voting ranking. The program crew was really creative.

"Then let's discuss it after we finish running. I really like 'Chang Xiang Si' and it will definitely look great when I dance to it." Xia Zhiqiu was a little depressed. Running was not her forte.

"Beep"～"Beep"～"Beep"～

With the sound of clear whistles, groups of trainees rushed out of the starting line like arrows from a bow. Their figures quickly moved back and forth on the basketball court, like lightning. Everyone gathered their strength and ran as fast as they could, as if the whole world was left with only the sound of their running footsteps and rapid breathing.

Their faces were filled with determination and perseverance, and their eyes were sparkling with the desire for victory.

After Ning Chaoyan finished the run, she compared her own time one by one. It was a pretty good result, at least she could make it into the top ten, and she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Xia Zhiqiu who was frowning beside him, he consoled her, "Don't worry, I counted for you, you are at least in the 20s, it's impossible that 20 people in the top 8 chose "Longing", I'll wait for you in the "Longing" group, okay?"

Xia Zhiqiu leaned his head on Ning Chaoyan's shoulder and responded sullenly with "OK". He regretted that his legs were too short when they were needed. There was nothing he could do about it. It was his nature and could not be changed.
