Su Ruowan stood in front of two fanboys and one fangirl. The female fans made up a small chunk of her fanbase while the otaku fanboys were a majority of her fans. The latter mostly fancied themselves to be her boyfriends and husbands while some simply loved her personality and good looks.

In this game, the fans could work together and come up with a question to stump their idols. Of course, the fans would not be put in a difficult situation as they would be rewarded with their idol’s signed poster, signed photo of them with their idol, and a cash prize of twenty-thousand-yuan courtesy of the production team if their idol failed to give the correct answer.

The fans were racking their brains to think of a lyric. Although they did not want their idols to be drenched in water, the production team was offering them a mouth-watering cash tip of twenty-thousand.

Every group of fans had one chance to seek help offstage and the help was limited to the mentors. This was a childish mini-game even the mentors were forced to participate in.

Gu Yang looked helpless. The production team really had nothing better to do than to ease the tension surrounding the grand finale. Nevertheless, it set the stage for high gear.

Xia Mi pushed her earpiece to the back of her ear before moaning to He Sumo and Fang Yao how lame and childish the game was. It would be classier if guests were invited to perform with the trainees for the grand finale.

What was going on? They had highly suspected the production team resorted to these little gimmicks just to save on the production cost and hiring stars.

Still, they had no say about the games. The fans were pumped up, acting as though they were also in the game as their screams of support echoed in the stadium. The scene had never been livelier.

Soon.

The game had begun.

Each group had three attempts and one lifeline to seek help offstage.

The order of the participants was decided by the trainees’ current ranking, starting from Ye Weiyang who was in first place.

The fans had three sets of questions ready, each containing three lines of lyrics. If they chose to seek help from the mentors, they would only be using two of their prepared lyrics. Otherwise, they could use all their materials.

It was soon plain to see that the fans’ knowledge and prowess on lyrics were far lesser than their idols. Their idols were quick to name the song as lyrics were read out to them. The assistance from mentors did not prove much help either.

From the first place to Ji Jingyan who was in the sixth place, none of the trainees had water balloons dropped on them while the fans were drenched. It did not take long before Su Ruowan’s turn.

For the first two questions, Su Ruowan, like the other trainees, answered accurately. She did not want to embarrass herself in front of the fans and viewers by getting drenched and ending up a drowned rat in a national broadcast.

She bitterly wondered who was the b*stard to have come up with the game. Whoever it was, they were trying to make the girls look like a clown.

“Do you want help from the mentors offstage?” asked the host to Su Ruowan’s fans.

Out of the three fans, the girl nodded and turned to the panel of mentors. Her eyes reflected provocation. “We’d like to ask for help from Mr. Xixi.”
