Chapter 161 - 160: Meeting the System’s Idol

Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Meeting the System’s Idol

Rian Sinclair sized him up. Just as the system had said, he was indeed a moldable talent. After all, with a face like that, he would be more than enough even just as eye candy.

But she still had to say what needed to be said. "Didn’t your instructor just tell you to rest? You need to rest properly when it’s time to rest. Besides, you’ll be going on stage soon. What if you make a mistake on stage because you didn’t rest well? You need to strike a balance between work and rest. If you push yourself too hard now, be careful not to pull a muscle."

At Rian Sinclair’s words, Sagan scratched the back of his head shyly. He could feel his boss’s concern, but he just wanted to practice a bit more, worried that he wouldn’t show his fans his absolute best performance on stage.

Rian Sinclair took one last look at Sagan before leaving the training room. She had already brought the system to see its idol in person; taking it to watch the public performance later would be enough. Aiden Sinclair followed closely behind his young lady as they left.

Returning to the lounge arranged by the chief director, they found Quentin Sinclair waiting. He had also finished his work. Sitting on the sofa and looking at the documents in her hands, Rian Sinclair asked, "As of right now, how is Sagan’s popularity?"

"Based on previous voting, his popularity tops the charts, neck and neck with Ian Neal, who debuted overseas before returning to the country. But looking at the final results, Sagan, who has already secured the center position for the debut, is much more well-rounded.

"Furthermore, considering Sagan’s current trajectory, he is indeed more suitable for the center position than Ian Neal.

"Ian Neal’s overseas experience was mostly in a group setting. This masked his individual shortcomings and presented a very good image to the fans. His personal image is also much more suited to debuting in a boy band."

Hearing this, Rian Sinclair nodded slightly. She stood up and walked over to the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. Looking down from such a height, the flow of people and traffic on the ground seemed exceptionally tiny.

"Book the large screens at Epoch Plaza. Tonight, display Sagan’s solo photos as the center and the debut posters for LE. I want everyone to be able to see this.

"Yes, Miss."

A flash of surprise crossed Quentin Sinclair’s eyes.

Epoch Plaza in Kyoro was a famous luxury district, and advertising on those screens was not cheap. Setting aside the fact that the price had already been hyped up to two thousand a minute, this idol survival show already had extremely high visibility. There was absolutely no need for further advertising.

But he knew his young lady naturally had her reasons. "Miss, for how long should I book them?"

"Two days," Rian Sinclair said calmly. "Their rapid improvement during the filming process was obvious. Consider it a surprise gift for them.

"You can notify the ten of them later. If they are interested, they can go check it out in person to relax after everything ends."

Quentin Sinclair nodded in agreement. If these boys saw their own posters on the massive screens of Epoch Plaza, the visual impact would certainly be far greater than seeing them online.

On the night of the group’s debut, countless spectators flooded the venue. The production team had chosen the largest stadium in Kyoro, capable of accommodating a hundred thousand people.

The fans who had been lining up outside since the afternoon could finally enter. Despite arriving early and waiting for so long, they didn’t complain. After all, they felt it was worth it for the idols they had loved and supported for so long.

A sea of humanity surged through the gates. Every trainee’s fans carried glow sticks and illuminated signs.

Worried about the crushing crowds, Quentin Sinclair reached out to shield Rian Sinclair. In truth, there weren’t nearly as many people on their side as in the general audience section, so she felt it was unnecessary. However, Quentin didn’t listen, so Rian simply let him have his way. Holding their tickets, they walked toward the VIP entrance, where the pathway was much more spacious.

Taking her seat in the VIP section, Rian Sinclair had Quentin Sinclair to her right and an empty seat to her left. Rian had arranged for some items chosen by the system, along with Sagan’s glow stick, to be placed on that empty seat.

[AWOOO!]

Hearing the system’s squeal, Rian Sinclair smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, the system was as giddy as a kid in a candy store!

Who could resist sitting in the front row to support their idol? To watch from up close? Not to mention having all the essential fan merchandise and glow sticks so thoughtfully laid out just for it!

[Thank you, Host!]

Hearing the system’s slightly trembling mechanical voice, Rian Sinclair chuckled. "Enjoy the show. Watch how your idol shines on stage."

As soon as Rian Sinclair’s voice fell, the stage lights abruptly dimmed. A moment later, even more intense spotlights swept across the stage. A well-known host in the entertainment industry, dressed in a sharply tailored suit and holding a microphone, made his appearance.

"Good evening to all the audience members here and the netizens watching from behind your screens! Welcome to the live finale of Idol Debut! Tonight is a star-studded night. Our center has already been chosen, and the nine members forming LE are all boys with their own unique styles!

"After day upon day of pouring sweat and grueling practice, they are finally approaching the summit! For this final episode, please shake those glow sticks in your hands to your heart’s content! Cheer for your favorite idols!"

As the host finished speaking, the fans in the stadium erupted into cheers. Screaming the names of the idols they supported, their faces flushed with excitement as they frantically waved their glow sticks and illuminated signs.

As the camera swept over the crowd, it paused briefly on Rian Sinclair’s row. When the netizens in the livestream saw this, they let out high-pitched shrieks that mirrored the energy of the live audience.

[Ahhh, what a beauty! I’m licking the screen! Good thing my hands were fast enough to take a screenshot, so I don’t have to worry about this beauty slipping away from right under my nose. Hehe.jpg]

[I remember! I remember this gorgeous woman is the boss of Radiant Entertainment! She’s also our boys’ ultimate superior. The boss came in person to show support! Sagan, you better make mama proud and get a good result!]

[Okay, okay, Miss Innocent, I’ve just discovered another one of your identities.]

[The guy in the suit next to her is so handsome too!]

[What’s up with that empty seat next to her? It even has Sagan’s glow stick on it! Could the gorgeous boss be a fan of Sagan?]

[This world is just a massive Blue Star Online game! I’m just an NPC in it.]

[Now that the person above mentioned it, no wonder I feel like time has been passing so slowly lately. Turns out we’ve hit a major plot event.]

[Family, she’s doing us proud! The boss is a fan of her own artist. Does anyone else get how amazing this is?!]

[Isn’t this The Innocent Heiress?]

[The joys and sorrows of humanity are not connected.]

Comments flooded the screen.

Sitting in the VIP section, Rian Sinclair was wearing a simple blue dress tonight. The fabric was incredibly light and sheer, keeping her comfortably cool despite the heat of the venue.

Resting her chin on one hand, Rian watched the performances on stage. She had to admit that the trainees who had made it this far were all exceptionally strong.

At the very least, the quality of this performance was noticeably much higher than the first time she had come to watch.

Every member of LE would have a solo performance, followed by a group performance from LE. The grand finale would be a solo performance by the debut center, Sagan.

The performance order for everyone had been decided by drawing lots. Rian Sinclair still remembered when Fiona Sinclair had asked her about it. In the end, she had simply suggested a fair and logical method—drawing lots.
