Chapter 54: 053 Who Says Ling Nai Isn't Smart (Please follow and vote for the monthly ticket!)
Seeing the sudden situation unfolding before her eyes, Ling Nai quickly climbed to the edge of the trampoline and signaled to Xia Nuo to call a temporary truce.
"Alright, we'll play together in a bit."
Xia Nuo also looked on curiously at the commotion happening over there.
Since there were no adults around now, Luo Xianyu was very scared upon seeing the little brats' arrogance; she clung to Fang You's embrace and sneakily peeked at those eye-catching packs.
While a few younger boys were still arguing with the staff, the leading chubby boy calmly walked towards the biggest trampoline in the middle.
The chubby bro took a deep breath, leaped up, and jumped towards the trampoline—
Smack!
Meatball impact!
As the chubby kid hit the trampoline, the other children who were still on it were sent flying a significant height and ran away crying and scrambling.
The chubby bro's minions, seeing the other children scared to tears, felt very satisfied.
"You guys... Did you see the trampoline prince, Song Haochen's strength?"
"With such an awe-inspiring special move, this year's strongest Moe Kid is definitely going to be our big bro!"
Xia Nuo tugged at Fang You's arm, "You You, do you know what they mean by the 'strongest Moe Kid'?"
Hearing this, Asai Reina immediately arrived at the scene to mock:
"Hahaha, Nuo Nuo hasn't watched 'The Strongest Moe Kid Show'? Kuku, how quaint..."
"I haven't seen it either," Fang You said indifferently.
"Um... that's, like, the hottest show recently, Ling Nai only watched it with mom, so it's normal for you not to know!" Asai Reina mumbled an explanation, "This competition selects the most amazing kids from all over China! The most amazing kid will win the 'Moe King' trophy and become the Moe King of the year!"
Xia Nuo tilted her head, "Then... what kind of kid is considered the most amazing?"
"Um... like, having a lot of talents, being smart... and also having strength."
Asai Reina's description was somewhat vague since she had only watched a snippet of the program.
Listening to this, Fang You felt it sounded like a kid's talent show with elimination elements, similar to a kid's version of China's Got Talent, where one needs to showcase their unique talent.
Nowadays, even variety shows are starting to become competitive among kids?!
"Sounds interesting!"
Xia Nuo's eyes sparkled as she turned to Fang You, "You You, do you want to participate?"
"Do you want to go?" Fang You raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xia Nuo nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
"It seems a bit time-consuming..."
Fang You's concept of children's variety shows was akin to reality shows like 'Falling in Love with Kindergarten' where they record videos.
Although it could indeed boost one's popularity and possibly uncover hidden talents, spending all time with a TV crew could mean the time lost wouldn't be worth it.
The last time 'Falling in Love with Kindergarten' took three months to film.
"But Nuo Nuo and I are so amazing, can't we easily win this competition?" Xia Nuo excitedly said, "I feel like I'll meet a lot of interesting kids..."
"Hmph, little girl, 'The Strongest Moe Kid Show' isn't that simple!" The interruption came from one of Song Haochen's minions, who had been displeased with the little girl's audacious statements.
He spoke with disdain, "Do you know how many children there are in China?"
"A billion?" Xia Nuo employed her secret technique: a wild guess reply.
The minion paused for a moment, then continued to cross his arms and pose coolly:
"Close, close enough... Anyway, it's a lot!"
The minion continued haughtily, "From so many children, to pick the strongest ten and then to decide the ultimate champion at the Yingdu Dome Stadium—just thinking about it gets me excited beyond measure!"
"The Dome? Is that the venue that can hold fifty thousand people?" Fang You casually asked.
"Of course! The Yingdu Dome is a legendary stage where only the true supreme champions can be crowned king!"
The minion's eyes were full of fervent passion as if he was part of some grand undertaking.
Just then, someone suddenly snatched the minion's ear from behind.
"Lin Zixiang! What are you doing here? Making mischief again! You're embarrassing your mom."
"Wuwu Mom... don't in front of so many people; it's so embarrassing! Don't pull my ear!"
"Now you know what embarrassment is? Why didn't you feel embarrassed when you were acting up? Huh?"
The parents of the Eye-Catching Package kids, having heard about their children's shenanigans, rushed over and took their own kids home.
The somewhat hefty Song Haochen was a tough one to handle; it took the combined effort of mom and dad to drag him back.
With that, the chaos in the trampoline area calmed down.
However, the discussion about the strongest Moe King also piqued Fang You's interest.
"Ling Nai, your family is from Yingdu, right? Have you ever been to the Giant Egg Stadium?"
"I have, I have!"
Asai Reina nodded vigorously, "My mom took me there last year to watch a concert. That place is amazing, let me tell you..."
If it were just a studio-recorded variety show, Fang You really wasn't interested.
After all, no matter how popular he was online, if he couldn't harvest Emotional Energy offline, it was meaningless to Fang You.
But this variety show was a genuine offline selection competition, with the finals even broadcast live.
This meant... Fang You could use this program to dazzle the entire venue, putting an end to his lengthy Growth Energy upgrade plan in one go.
He was still 15,000 short for the upgrade, but if everyone in the venue could be stunned by him, wouldn't the tidal wave of Emotional Energy come flooding in?
Directly ascend to Growth Level LV7 and unlock new main missions!
Meanwhile, Asai Reina became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.
She hoped Fang You would enter the competition.
"Imagine if You You could lift the 'Moe King' trophy to the cheers of the whole crowd, becoming the strongest new generation Moe King, that would be so cool..."
If he could shout out how much he likes Ling Nai in front of so many people, that would be even better!
Kukukuku...
Ling Nai would never forget that romantic scene in her lifetime!
Xia Nuo also approached Fang You excitedly, "You You, You You! Will you go or not, will you go? You're so powerful; you can definitely become the Moe King."
"I'll consider it..."
"Yay, let's go together!"
Xia Nuo raised her hands in excitement, then turned to Asai Reina who was beside her.
"Right, Ling Nai, since you're so interested, why don't you enter?"
"Hey... didn't that kid say it earlier?"
Asai Reina explained, "To be the strongest Moe King, besides exceptional talent, there are some requirements for intelligence and strength."
Ling Nai is just the prettiest child; being pretty alone won't make her the strongest Moe King.
Xia Nuo nodded in agreement with Asai Reina's words, "Indeed, Ling Nai doesn't seem very smart."
"Who says Ling Nai isn't smart? Ling Nai just isn't very strong... she's still very clever."
Asai Reina said, "I've already mastered the four operations in arithmetic! Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division—I can do it all."
"Really?"
"Don't believe me? Test me."
Xia Nuo thought for a moment, "What's 123 times 234?"
"That's—"
Asai Reina, realizing she had been tricked, retorted to Xia Nuo with a flushed face, "How could a child possibly calculate such a difficult multiplication! Nuo Nuo, you're too despicable!"
Asai Reina went after Nuo Nuo onto the trampoline to teach her a lesson, but Xia Nuo kept hopping around on it.
Asai Reina lost her balance, landing on her bottom on the trampoline, bouncing along with Xia Nuo's jumps, her skirt flying up and frightening Ling Nai into wailing. Fang You was about to intervene to stop Xia Nuo from going too far but noticed that Luo Xianyu, who was hugging him, had already fallen asleep.
She must be tired from playing...
The struggle between Xia Nuo and Asai Reina for the position of big wife seemed to have been forgotten by them both.
