C5 Mission Complete Guaranteed Top Ten Spots!

Xie Feng gestured for the audience to remain calm before huddling with Li Jian and Zhuo Ziqi, murmuring in hushed tones.

As they watched, the tension in the venue subtly mounted.

"What's the hold-up? Why is this taking so long?"

"Is there some kind of scandal?"

"Is there going to be a twist? If they don't announce the advancement soon, I'm done watching!"

After a minute, Xie Feng, grinning broadly, turned to Hwa Feng and announced,

"Contestant Hwa Feng has thoroughly impressed all three of us with his performance, so we've come to a unanimous decision."

"Contestant Hwa Feng is fast-tracked straight into the national top ten!"

The crowd erupted in cheers! For the first time, the live comments were free of negativity.

Instead, there was unanimous praise for the wise decision to fast-track Hwa Feng.

"Thank you to the judges for their generous support, and thank you to everyone here, thank you!"

Hwa Feng bowed deeply in gratitude before exiting the stage.

As soon as Hwa Feng stepped offstage, the system's voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding! Temporary mission complete. Commencing mission reward tally!

Mission: Astound the Audience.

Completion Rating: S for Perfect Completion

Mission Reward: 4 Destiny Points, 1 Choice of Reward Category"

A smile of satisfaction spread across Hwa Feng's face. Not only had he completed the mission flawlessly, but he could also choose his reward category.

This was a substantial reward. Given the system's nature, the shop likely had plenty of enticing items.

He'd save it for when the need arose.

Backstage, a bevy of unfamiliar, yet striking individuals swarmed Hwa Feng with congratulations.

Whether they sought to network with Hwa Feng or were just fixated on the camera that kept panning to him, it was hard to tell.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of politely declining to exchange contact details—Hwa Feng wasn't one to casually add strangers, except perhaps for an exceptionally charming lady—he couldn't help but feel a touch of embarrassment.

As the director called the event to a close, Hwa Feng was the first to bolt from the contestants' lounge.

Hwa Feng no longer had to concern himself with the 'Idol Producer' auditions.

Secured a spot in the top ten, he could quietly await his return to the competition in about a month.

Yet, it was his sisters that had him on edge!

The thought alone gave Hwa Feng a headache.

Managing so many of them was proving to be quite the challenge.

As Hwa Feng walked away, some scoffed in disdain:

"Just because of one decent song, he's in the top ten? I don't get his hype."

"Exactly! And who knows if he even wrote it. Psh, he didn't bother sharing his contact info."

"Will you cut it out? Sure, he's cocky, but the guy's got talent. Jealous much? Try getting a free pass yourself."

Though Hwa Feng was at a distance, he could still make out their bitter banter.

Unfazed, Hwa Feng shrugged off the sour grapes. When the time was right, he'd show them the true meaning of a reality check with his talent.

No sooner had Hwa Feng stepped out of the studio, he was swarmed by a crowd.

"Mr. Hwa Feng, we're from Eastern Media Company. Do you currently have a manager?"

"Consider Guanghua Media. We're influential with extensive industry connections. Mr. Hwa Feng, think it over!"

"Step aside! Hwa Feng is the rising star we've set our sights on. The rest of you can back off!"

"Big companies, so what? More competition for resources. Mr. Hwa Feng, join us, and you'll be top dog!"

"Mr. Hwa Feng, I'm an agent with Beidou Media. This isn't the place to talk. Can we set up a meeting to discuss further?"

The eager managers, each vying for attention, encircled Hwa Feng.

They were the talent scouts from various entertainment firms, all closely monitoring 'Idol Producer' for new prospects.

Hwa Feng's standout performance had long caught their eye through the live broadcast.

A cluster of flushed-faced agents, none willing to be outdone, surrounded Hwa Feng, excitedly bombarding him with questions and offers. These were representatives from various entertainment companies, all keenly focused on "Idol Producer," a show known for its ability to unearth fresh, popular talent.

Hwa Feng's stunning breakout performance on the show had already caught the attention of these agents through the live broadcast. The early bird gets the worm!

Intent on securing the rising star for their own rosters, these agents had devised a plan to stake out the television station's entrance, eagerly waiting for Hwa Feng to emerge. They knew that signing him early, as he was just beginning to make waves, was crucial. Once Hwa Feng's popularity fully skyrocketed, he would be much harder to sign.

However, they hadn't anticipated the turnout...

Upon arriving at the entrance, they were met with a sea of their peers, all seemingly sharing the same strategy to be the first to sign Hwa Feng. In the end, when Hwa Feng stepped out, he was greeted by an impromptu 'manager team'—dozens of agents, each vying for his attention.
