Chapter 467: with translation of chapter title

8 system hours until the Harmony Festival opening, Liúmèng Jiāo

The train crew and Liuying returned to Liúmèng Jiāo, bidding farewell to Jialah. After his 'encouragement,' Jizi believed that relying solely on Wa'erte's negotiations was far from enough; rather than sit and wait for doom under the family's blockade, it would be better to take the initiative and attack.

Jizi: "We are familiar with the star core's properties, and as the core that stabilizes beautiful dreams, the star core is crucial to the family. Touching their core interests, they will surely retaliate in haste… and haste precisely means a flaw."

Liuying nodded upon hearing this: "That's right. As long as we can threaten the star core, whether in negotiation or battle, we have a chance to gain the upper hand. But the problem is, with the Harmony Festival about to begin, how can we approach the grand theater? The family will surely set up multiple layers of defense; forcing a breakthrough… even if we could do it, the risk would be too high."

Upon hearing this, everyone also fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, San Yue Qi Xiaojie saw that everyone remained silent, so she tried a move: "Eh… nobody's speaking? Then I'll raise my hand! I know this question!"

Xing, thinking, nodded: "It turns out we still have a secret weapon we haven't used…"

"You speak just like that Luo Fu general…" San Yue Qi Xiaojie glared at Xing angrily, then immediately solemnly proposed her idea: "Very soon, Pinokangni will hold a selection called the 【Suleoda Grand Event Sea Selection】 during the 【Moment of Hot Sands】; as long as one becomes first in the selection, they can enter the grand theater earlier than ordinary spectators."

Coincidentally, San Yue Qi Xiaojie had prepared a few special invitation tickets in advance; this might be a rare opportunity for everyone.

Jialah also approved this plan, but as a 【fictional character】, his time is running short, and he cannot accompany you all.

LOVELIVEμ's。

"Eh?!" Suo Nai Guo sprang up from her seat, eyes fixed on the few invitation tickets in San Yue Qi Xiaojie's hand, "They really want to join the selection?! That's how you become an idol, right? They'll have to compete with people from all over the stars—surely the difficulty is too great!"

But Nan Xiaoniao completely disagreed; the girl clasped her hands, eyes sparkling: "I actually think it's very suitable~ Especially San Yue Qi Xiaojie, her on‑camera presence is fantastic! Plus she can archery, her physique might be not bad either, very fitting to be an idol! Jizi and Liuying Xiaojie's temperaments are also unique, quite distinctive."

"Huh?" Yi Ze Ni Ke showed an incredulous look, her twin tails swaying, "Don't joke—how could it be that easy to stand out among tens of thousands of contestants?"

She cleared her throat, adopting the tone of a senior who's been through it: "What audiences seek in an idol is dreamy, pleasant moments, but if this quartet debuts, who knows when Xing might blurt out some weird line while facing fans and reporters? That would really ruin the idol atmosphere."

"But speaking of which…" Yi Ze Ni Ke lifted her head, arms akimbo, eyeing the pink‑haired girl on screen, "San Yue Qi Xiaojie certainly has potential—she's the type who makes people feel happy after meeting her. As for Liuying… it's obvious she hasn't yet found an idol role that fits her."

"Ah… that's true, after all she's basically a humanoid weapon."

Dong Tiao Xi smiled faintly: "Liuying Xiaojie without her armor is a bit too introverted; she needs more practice in front of an audience. But with her armor on she's overly 'enthusiastic'—I doubt any judge could handle that."

As soon as the four arrived at the Hot Sands selection venue, a swarm of cameras and microphones surrounded them; the host's passionate voice boomed overhead, brimming with irresistible enthusiasm: "Look over here—four high‑spirited friends are walking up! Do you want to become stars of the gala?"

"Huh… are they talking about us?"

"Exactly! Don't doubt it—I see the potential of a superstar in you!"

After the host's enthusiastic spiel, an elderly man named Ai Di En walked over—he's the factory chief of Suleoda and the organizer of the selection. He hoped the few members of the train crew would give a proper self‑introduction to the galaxy‑wide audience.

"I'm the Galaxy Baseball Hero, and she's Zhao Camera." Xing pointed at the pink‑haired girl beside him.

San Yue Qi Xiaojie's face flushed instantly; she hurriedly covered her mouth and glared at Xing: "Oh come on! Don't shout my online name in front of everyone!"

After saying that, she cleared her throat: "Hello everyone, I'm San Yue Qi Xiaojie! A normal girl who loves to wander around!"

"Hello, I'm Liuying…" Liuying lowered her head shyly, a bit embarrassed, "... also a normal girl who loves to wander around."

Silver Soul

Ah… I might as well just call myself 'Wandering Around' from now on.

"Yin Sang, even if you try to take advantage of her in the name, she won't fly down from the heavens and then like you."

Yin Shi almost crushed the strawberry milk in his hand, his teeth clacking on the straw 'click‑click': "Shin Bajiji, how can your 36‑degree mouth say such cold words? You're no better off than me, and she'd never hand a transformation device to a nitpicking otaku like you."

"Huh? Is that really your focus? I thought you'd tease them about their 'ordinary girl' side, A Lu." Shen Le leaned against Ding Chun's fluffy head as she spoke.

If you set aside her ability to burst stars, her status as a veteran of Glimmer, her power to transform, her fondness for igniting oceans, and her cute appearance… then she really is quite ordinary.

Yin Shi shrugged, "Besides, her true identity is still a star‑core hunter, with a bounty of tens of millions of credits… it feels like Luffy from Pirate King, who has a bounty of billions, claiming he's just an ordinary pirate."

Original God

Ah, I understand.

Inside the Wanmin Hall, Shen He suddenly lifted her head, enlightened.

Xiangling scratched her head, looking puzzled at Shen He: "Shen He Xiaojie… what did you understand?"

"I know why Liuying calls herself an "ordinary girl."' Shen He said calmly, "That way she can openly go to the other contestants' rooms and take them all out. As long as she eliminates every other competitor, she and Xing will be first place."

This… this… what kind of logic is that!

"Hmm… Xiangling, do you think this idea has a flaw?" Shen He nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, I didn't think it through—facing the whole of Pinokangni in the selection, there could be tens of thousands of contestants… eliminating them one by one would take a huge amount of time."
