A strange world

Chapter 1424 Chapter 58. Audition Site

In the lounge of the City Lord's Mansion, Annan leaned back on the sofa.

The lounge has almost become his office these days.

“I also think it costs too much.”

Sitting in the wheelchair that had been returned to her, Idyliya made a simple calculation of the total bonus and expenses. She estimated that the financial situation in January next year would not be very good...

"Sister, you only see the expenses, but not the benefits of doing this."

"You mean popularity and authority?"

"Not only that, for example, after the competition begins, we can record the scene with the magic stone and broadcast it in the commercial street."

"Magic image?"

"No, just broadcast it for free in the shopping street square so that everyone can see it."

"Most people's lives are boring, with almost nothing to entertain them, so they will definitely not miss this free carnival. The competition will last for more than ten days, several hours a day. After watching for a long time, they will get thirsty and hungry, and they will have to eat. Even if only a few dozen people choose to eat in the commercial street every day, if it is expanded to 200 commercial streets, that would be 10,000 people."

"Do you remember what I said about audience votes? They all have the right to vote and can vote for their favorite contestants."

Annan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes like shining black gems.

"By then, the Art Capital will only select a group of corrupt nobles who smell like old men and choose the champions based on the exchange of interests. What we select is the champions who have gone through layers of battles and are recognized by millions of people!"

Idilia quietly watched Annan indulge in his ambitions. He was like the rising sun, emitting light that dispelled the darkness of the night and filled people with hope.

"We'd really become clowns."

…

After "All People's Singer" announced its name change and prize money, the registration office was as crowded as when a savings bank opened, and even more crowded.

After all, not many people have spare money to save, but there are many people who are eyeing the 10,000-kinnar bonus.

But with more people, there are also more weird people.

In the magical world of Allen Continent, being tone-deaf is not even considered news worthy of attention.

Huadu, Robusto family estate.

Catalina withdrew her gaze from the commercial street and came to her father's side.

"Father……"

"You want to join?"

Duke Violet looked at his daughter tenderly: "My daughter, the gods have given you the talent for acting, but they haven't blessed you with much in terms of your voice..."

"I don't care." Katerina said firmly, "I've already broken my promise to Annan once..."

"Okay, let's consider it as compensation."

Duke Violet asked his butler to find the best vocal teacher in Flower City and start training before Catalina goes to register.

As soon as we found someone, we received the news that Catalina had run away.

In the Commercial Street Square, the auditions for "Everyone's Singer" are going on.

The square was crowded with people, but most of them were there to watch the fun.

If the singing is good, they cheer and applaud; if the singing is bad, they also cheer and encourage - anyway, they don't pay.

Katerina's arrival caused a lot of exclamations, and even the officials who served as the audition judges came to greet her: "Miss Katerina, are you also going to participate in the audition?"

"Yes."

"With your relationship with Lord Annan, we can send you to—"

"No need, I'll just be like the other contestants."

Catalina was too embarrassed to ask for privileges, mainly because she was worried about bringing shame to Annan.

The judging official took a number plate from the registration office, then went to the contestant's seat to change it before giving it to Katerina.

Katerina accepted the small privilege and glanced at the contestant on the stage with No. 998, No. 989.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After nine cheers, it was Katerina's turn.

This time, the crowd applauded and cheered loudly before Katerina even started singing.

Catalina glanced to where the applause was the loudest—her father was leading a group of guards to cheer her on, with an encouraging look on his face.

She said gracefully, "Hello, I'm Catalina Robusto, and the song I'm going to sing is "My Heart Will Go On"..."

Crash——

The applause started again, and when people learned that "Swan Neck" would be taking the stage in person, more and more people gathered in the square.

Catalina took a deep breath and was surprisingly a little nervous.

Singing is different from acting. In acting, you have other actors to share your attention, and you can recite lines to relieve tension, but singing will make your voice tense...

So when Catalina began to sing "Every night, in my dreams, I see you, I feel you..." The Duke of Violet's encouragement turned into a forehead-holding gesture, and the people who came after hearing the news fell silent, and the crowd who were watching the excitement looked at each other in confusion.

An old lady murmured:

"How can such a pretty girl sing like a wolf howling..."

…

As the center of public opinion, Liberty City is also holding auditions.

Annan had no time to pay attention to the fact that the third judge who would replace Madeline Jenkins would arrive today, but the Siren judge and the final judge had not yet been found.

However, when passing by the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, he heard some officials complaining that some contestants did not look like contestants, but were there to cause trouble, and some contestants were not human at all!

So serious?

Annan walked towards them and frowned, "What did the contestant do?"

"Lord Annan!"

The two officials first saluted Annan - they were obviously graduates from the school, and the officers who retired from the legion would generally choose to clench their right fists and place them on their chests to show their loyalty.

"There are many contestants who are vampires, goblins, orcs, etc..."

It turns out that this person is not a human...

There are indeed many more alien races in Liberty City these days, such as minotaurs, harpies, dementors, and liches. Most of them are attracted by the huge reward of 10,000 gold nars.

"What about the troublemaker?"

The two officials looked at each other and said in embarrassment: "Lord Annan, it is difficult to describe it in words... You'd better come and see it for yourself."
