Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 377: Chapter 376 Unsuccessful Theft [First Update]

The internet was filled with cursing.

So f**king unscrupulous!

You’ve got us all excited, and now you hit us with an infinite buffer?!

There are only four people in total, even an idiot can tell they’re going to be bigger names one after another.

Now that Chen Wen and Fang Li have already shown up, it’s the last one, and now you start buffering, what the hell are you buffering for?

It’s just one picture!

Could Lu Group really not manage to load it?!

”Moving, it’s moving!”

Suddenly someone noticed that the spinning circle started to move.

1%...2%...3%...4%...

It moved really slowly, but everyone was staring at it without blinking.

As long as it’s moving!

Although it’s slow, it’s better than not moving at all!

Everyone was fixated on the circle, watching it endlessly spin, spin, and spin!

Finally!

99%!

Everyone got excited, it’s coming out, it’s finally going to be revealed.

And then!

It displayed, ”Loading failed!”

”Pfft!”

You can’t even imagine how many people nearly spat blood and dropped dead at that moment!

Your mom’s a b*tch!

You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?!

Those who were spitting blood and nearly dying used their last breath to get up from the ground and started raging!

”Lu Xiaobu, get out here!”

”What do you mean by this?!”

”Are you doing this on purpose?!”

”F**k your grandpa! If you’re not going to move, then don’t, but why the hell spin once and then hit me with a ’loading failed’?!”

”If you have the guts, just hold it in forever!”

”...”

Looking at the comments online!

Lu Xiaobu laughed loudly: ”Hehehe!”

Everyone at Sincere IT was going insane.

Young Master Bu, this isn’t how you play, do you want to kill people?!

Chen Wen and Fang Li twitched the corners of their mouths, when have they ever seen someone like this?!

This is your own show, are you sure this is the right way to play?

Grandma Jia Yi also broke down: ”This Xiaobu, he really is...”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t care about them, since he hasn’t seen the person in real life, you guys shouldn’t hope to see the picture either.

At this moment online, someone had already started spilling the beans.

”Don’t wait anymore, I’ll tell you, the fourth one is Sun Wanqi, Queen Sun.”

”Wow! Is it that shocking?”

”Awesome, awesome! This line-up of coaches is luxurious!”

”But why, why isn’t the picture released yet?!”

”I guess Lu Xiaobu doesn’t want us to see it!”

”Damn, that won’t do. I’ve gotten into a spat with him today, this picture better be released or I’ll hold a grudge for a lifetime!”

”Right, I’m in on this too!”

”Waiting!”

”...”

Yes, those who keep paying attention to Lu Xiaobu are his fans.

What Xiaobu’s nature is like, they’re not much different!

After that, this bunch of people acted as if they’d gone crazy, no matter the time, they’d keep their computers on, staring at that webpage, waiting for Lu Xiaobu to post the picture!

Gradually, more and more people joined the ranks of those waiting for Lu Xiaobu to release the photo.

In the end, someone even started taking bets, wagering on when Lu Xiaobu would release the photo!

The person who leaked the information probably didn’t expect that even though everyone already knew who it was, these folks still had nothing better to do than to keep waiting for the photo to load!

Actually, it’s easy to understand, people are like that, the more unattainable it is, the more they want it.

The wife is not as cherished as the concubine, the concubine not as much as a secret lover, and the secret lover not as tempting as the unachievable.

That feeling of never getting what you want is like a cat constantly scratching inside their hearts!

Not just him, even Sun Wanqi was bewildered.

Her Weibo was inexplicably overrun.

”We want photos, we want photos!”

”That’s right, we want to see photos!”

”Go talk to Lu Xiaobu, tell them to stop freaking torturing us!”

”...”

Sun Wanqi looked dumbfounded at Ai Yanfei: ”Xia Ai, what photos do they want? Aren’t there pictures on my Weibo already?”

”They are talking about this.” Ai Yanfei, looking distressed, opened the official website of ”The Voice”.

Well, Sun Wanqi, who is a bit obsessive-compulsive, saw that 99%, then the loading failed, and nearly lost it enough to smash the table.

Damn, this is so frustrating!

...

While this commotion was happening, the TV station’s auditions were also getting underway.

The auditions were quite smooth.

After all, Lu Xiaobu may clown around, but he keeps his word, as everyone knows.

Since Lu Xiaobu said he’d only listen to voices, many people courageously, but apprehensively, came over to give it a shot!

Of course, there were skeptics, but let’s not talk about them.

Inside the audition room, besides Lu Xiaobu, there were several music directors.

These were all there to assist Lu Xiaobu in selecting contestants.

They had also selected people for many talent shows, possessing a wealth of experience.

Especially one surnamed Wang, who was the current hottest music director from the original ”Hot Voice” auditions.

Hence, the other directors addressed him as Teacher Wang!

”Let me tell you something first, do you know what kind of people I want to choose?”

Lu Xiaobu sat on a chair and asked the music directors.

”Talented ones?”

”With good vocal technique?”

”Professionally trained?”

”Having the look of a champion?”

Several directors responded based on their past experiences.

”No, I’m looking for someone with a distinctive voice.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand: ”The contestants I need are not just great ones, but those one in a million with such a unique voice that, when they sing, no one else can replicate it! Got it?”

”Distinctive voice?!” Teacher Wang frowned suddenly: ”It’s my first time hearing about using this as a criterion for selection. What’s the use of distinctiveness? I don’t understand, in the end, it should still be about vocal technique and stage experience!”

”If I wanted to hear good singing, why the hell would I bother with ’The Voice’? I could use the money to hire people for concerts, can’t I? Heavenly Kings and Queens of Heaven would sing better than others, right!” Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

”You! This!” Teacher Wang frowned, feeling somewhat irritated, but he still suppressed his anger: ”Alright then, let’s give it a try.”

Lu Xiaobu shrugged and said to Zhang Feng: ”Go on, arrange it.”

...

At the same time.

In the contestants’ rest area.

Everyone was chattering away.

All sorts of people were here.

There were the nervous ones running to the bathroom again and again, those sitting in a corner practicing their songs, and ”veterans” who had previous contest experience sharing tips with newcomers.

Of course, there were also some who stood out from the crowd, clearly distancing themselves from the other contestants.

The most obvious one, Zhou Guogang, came from a professional background and had participated in other talent shows.

He was invited by music director Teacher Wang.

Hence, he had great confidence, nonchalantly playing with his phone.

He thought that passing the auditions was a sure thing.

After all, Lu Xiaobu was not professional, and for auditions, what Teacher Wang said was what counted, and Teacher Wang would definitely let him pass.

Suddenly, Zhang Feng from the program team came in, ”Everyone, get ready, it’s about to start.”

All eyes turned to him.

Zhang Feng holding the list said: ”I’ll call out names shortly, one by one. After you enter, it’s all going to be a cappella. Everyone can prepare their own pieces, and if Young Master Bu and the judges feel the need, they may ask contestants to sing specific songs or have specific additional trials.”

It must all be a cappella, which is the real test of one’s foundational skills.

Well, the auditions officially began.

What surprises will Lu Xiaobu come up with?
