Kyoto, in a high-class apartment building.

"Brother Chen, are you sure Lin Yao did poorly this issue?"

A feminine looking woman sat on the couch and asked the man next to her.

"I've gotten word that Super Challenge II has been revamped to focus more on puzzle solving and confrontation between guests.

Lin Yao doesn't know how to solve puzzles, and her personality isn't suited to participating in confrontations, so I don't think she'll do too well."

The man wore glasses and was dressed in formal attire, looking like someone who was quite detail-oriented.

"So you're not sure? In case Lin Yao performs well, wouldn't we have spent money on navy for nothing?"

The feminine woman was wearing her pajamas and didn't care about the collar that hung low to her chest, but her brows furrowed tightly as she said Lin Yao's name.

"Huang Yin, you need to focus more on your new album, Lin Yao's participation in the variety show is of course best if she flops, but if she uses this to soar in popularity, then you need to beat her even more in the singer's field of expertise in order to truly raise your status."

The man with glasses ignored the woman's dissatisfaction and instead spoke out to admonish her.

"What good is it for me to concentrate on songwriting? As long as Lin Yao is here, I can do anything for her! I have to get her out of the entertainment business!"

The woman was suddenly a bit agitated and her voice was all harsh.

The woman's name was Huang Yin, and she was a rookie singer who debuted at the same time as Lin Yao.

The difference was that Lin Yao's first album was a big seller, with three songs entering the top ten of the new song list and the top twenty of the hot song best seller list.

On the other hand, Huang Ying only had one song in the top ten of the new song chart and only reached twenty on the hot song chart.

Originally this kind of result was already good for a rookie singer, and she even had hopes of competing for Best New Artist at the end of the year.

It was a pity that she had met Lin Yao.

Huang Ying is pretty, has a beautiful voice, can write songs and play instruments, and her appearance and professionalism are all outstanding among the newcomers.

But compared to Lin Yao, Huang Ying was a little bit worse in every single item, and so many little bits added up to be enough to make her one level worse.

Huang Yin's debut album sales almost broke the record for new singers, which Lin Yao easily broke.

Huang Yin can play the piano and guitar, Lin Yao can play any instrument.

Huang Yin is known as the sweetheart of the singing world, Lin Yao is directly crowned as the national goddess....

When every advantage you're proud of is being compared to the same person, you're likely to be robbed of your sanity by frustration and jealousy.

Huang Yin is a case in point.

Especially after failing once again to compete with Lin Yao as a regular guest on the third season of Super Challenge, Huang Ying's mindset completely fell apart.

She had a huge fight with her agent, forcing her agent to buy a navy to hack Lin Yao online.

Huang Ying's agent, named Chen Zhi, is a cautious person who does things discreetly and doesn't leave much of a trail when she buys the navy.

Although Lin Yao's agency knew it was Huang Yin who was causing trouble, they couldn't find any evidence at the moment and could only passively control the comments and delete the posts.

So even though Lin Yao's performance at the end of the first phase of Super Challenge was brilliant and saved some reputation, when Chen Zhi bought another round of water soldiers, Lin Yao was once again in a near "black net" situation.

"It's started, let's see it first."

Chen Zhi saw that Huang Yin's mood was falling apart again, so he stopped trying to persuade her.

At that moment, the credits of Super Challenge appeared on the computer screen, and Huang Yin stared at the beautiful and gentle Lin Yao on the screen with a wavering look, finally sneering.

"Proud of what? Wait until you continue to be yelled at!"

........

"Fangfang, turn off the pop-up."

Jiang Rong City, in that suite of the Hilton Hotel.

Lin Yao, Mo Yan and Fangfang were sitting on the sofa, and as soon as the credits of the second phase of Super Challenge came up on the TV screen, a patch of sarcastic and abusive pop-ups appeared.

Fangfang was still using the network playback software to cast the screen to the TV to watch the show this time, so she could see the pop-ups.

Mo Yan frowned slightly, worried that Lin Yao's emotions were affected, so she gently instructed Fangfang to turn off the pop-up screen.

"No need." But Lin Yao spoke up to stop Fangfang.

"Lin Yao, there's nothing to see in these things, they're affecting our viewing of the show." Mo Yan smiled and said to Lin Yao.

"Sister Smoke, I've thought about it, my goal is to be a singing diva, and since I want to get to that position, I have to learn to face all the difficulties besides singing."

Lin Yao looked calm, and her beautiful eyes seemed like a galaxy of brilliant stars.

"I wasn't brave enough before, but now that I have something I want to do, I have to make myself brave."

"Yao Yao.... You've grown up." Mo Yan looked at Lin Yao in a daze with relief and some unexplainable complexity on her face.

She could vaguely sense that Lin Yao's real goal wasn't the diva of the singing world, but the "freedom" that could only be obtained after she had reached that step.

"Wow, Miss Yao is so handsome!"

Fawn couldn't help but snap her hands.

"No black-clad people today? Yay, bam!"

The TV was also applauding, the second issue had already started, and when it came out it was Hong Sanshi, Zhang Bo and Lin Yao, and when they learned that this issue would be completely revamped and there would no longer be a black-clothed man chase segment, Hong Sanshi immediately applauded.

"Hahaha, Mr. Hong's nightmare is finally over."

"This expression of Zhang Bo's, he doesn't care about weak chicken Teacher Hong ah, haha!"

"Wow, Lin Yao is so beautiful!"

"Can you block out Lin Yao, it looks disgusting!"

Like in the first issue, the pop-ups were good-naturedly ridiculing Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, while they were polarizing towards Lin Yao.

Lin Yao's fans praised her, while the hacks and navy hated to kick her off the screen.

Mo Yan looked at Lin Yao worriedly but saw that she was still calm and even had an expectant expression on her face.

Yaoyao had really changed a lot recently, was this change good or bad?

What made her change so much?

A tall, handsome figure flashed in Mo Yan's mind.

Is it really because of him?

"A secret war?"

"Is it so brain-burning to split the guests into two teams looking for trophy pieces, with undercover agents on opposite sides?"

"My Brother Big Thunder is in danger!"

"Aren't the two old foxes, Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, sure to win?"

"Not necessarily, they still have Lin Yao as a burden on their side, I have a feeling it will be Lin Yao who ends up being bad!"

After the show announced the rules of the game for this episode, viewers were shocked by the novelty of the set-up, and the pop-up screen was brushed for a while.

Then came the clues to get the trophy shards on the Guardian and Destroyer sides respectively, and then get on the bus to the scenario where the three shards were located.

Since the Destroyer side had the best audience members, Hong Sanshi and Zhang Bo, as well as the topical Lin Yao, Li Guan intentionally gave more footage to their side during the post-edit.

After the three of them get into the car, Hong Sanshi suddenly realizes that the driver is the handsome man in black who caught Lin Yao in the previous issue, so he screams and the camera follows by giving a close-up of Fang Xiaole's face.

This caused a wave of pop-up climaxes once again.
