Chapter 2211: Trainee Liu Dabao
Music started to play.
This was extremely lively and dynamic music.
Meanwhile, An Lin also started to wield his frying pan as he started to perform his cooking dance.
The eyes of the tutors lit up when they saw An Lin’s smooth movements, indescribable demeanor, and waltzing frying pan.
It was as if there were some delicacy being tossed around inside the frying pan as it danced about in the air. However, this was a delicacy that was seemingly unreachable. This feeling whetted the tutors’ appetite. Meanwhile, An Lin’s graceful movements also caused them to exclaim in admiration. It could be said that they were stuck between a sense of enjoyment and not daring to enjoy. The tutors found this extremely delightful.
At this moment, An Lin suddenly tossed his frying pan into the air.
The rhythm and mood of the music also changed drastically.
“Only because you’re too fragrant!
“Only because you’re too fragrant!”
An Lin started to sing as he danced.
As if they had been struck by lightning, the gold medal tutors were transfixed to the spot in astonishment.
What the hell is this?!
“Only because you’re too fragrant! Bilibili Bilibali!”
“Only because you’re too fragrant! Bilibili Bilibali!”
An Lin’s movements started to become extremely coquettish.
The gold medal tutors were dumbfounded, yet they finally started to understand the beauty of An Lin’s performance.
“This voice… This rhythm… This is a true cooking dance!” a male True Demon who had demonic horns on his head said in astonishment.
“‘Only because you’re too fragrant’ sounds extremely similar to ‘Chicken, you’re too fragrant'[1]. Perhaps there was genuinely a chicken in the frying pan that he tossed away just then? Chicken, you’re too fragrant, only because you’re too fragrant. However, it was because of this inseparable attachment that he could only toss it away… These lyrics actually contain a deep philosophy regarding the Dao Realm…” a human tutor murmured.
“I don’t know why, but I was instantly intoxicated upon hearing Liu Dabao’s singing and seeing his dancing. In fact, I’m even starting to feel a little hungry… This is definitely a top-notch performance!” a beautiful woman from the Light Wing Clan said. There was a sparkle in her eyes, and her voice was filled with enthusiasm.
“Only because you’re too fragrant! Bilibili Bilibali!”
Following the last note of music, An Lin struck his final pose.
There was a moment of temporary silence before all of the gold medal tutors stood up and applauded An Lin’s performance.
Clap, clap, clap!
“Wonderful! What an ingenious performance!”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve witnessed such an original and refreshing dance.”
“Our Red Ink Tavern has uncovered a gem!”
“Full marks!”
“Full marks.”
“Full marks…”
The gold medal tutors all gave An Lin the highest possible score.
“Liu Dabao, you can perform while you’re still training. In fact, we’ll schedule you for an individual performance tonight. We hope you can learn from the experience.”
“Thank you, tutors,” An Lin replied respectfully.
“Liu Dabao, do you have any dreams?” Daphne asked. She was the tutor from the Light Wing Clan.
“My dream is to become a main drawcard of the Red Ink Tavern tonight,” An Lin replied honestly.
The tutors all exclaimed in surprise.
“What a brilliant dream!”
“You’ll definitely become a main drawcard in the near future.”
An Lin remained smiling as he listened to the tutors’ comments.
Of course he would become a main drawcard in the near future… Because he would become one tonight!
He was going to conquer the audience through his cooking dance!
An Lin successfully passed his examination. When he walked out and told Ying Bao that he was going to perform tonight, she was so stunned that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
“Brother Dabao, you’re so impressive! The tutors actually view you in such high regard?”
“Heh, do you still remember what I said before? It’ll be tonight,” An Lin said with a grin as he looked at the stunned woman before him.
Ying Bao involuntarily drew a sharp breath upon hearing this.
Perhaps… Liu Dabao is serious?
No, even if the tutors hold him in high regard, it’s still impossible for him to become a main drawcard in a single night. After all, main drawcards aren’t just some random person.
Not only are they supremely talented, but they also have countless loyal fans. Their votes are simply impossible to surpass, much less surpassed by a factor of two times…
The tutors led An Lin into an extremely beautiful training room.
There were several either handsome or beautiful trainees rehearsing inside this room.
“Hi, everyone, this is Liu Dabao. I hope you can all get along well,” Daphne said with a smile.
Spirited discussions instantly broke out in the training room.
Daphne wore a gentle smile as she turned to An Lin and said, “Your performance is already flawless. Make sure to do some practice in the afternoon and strive to deliver a good individual performance tonight.”
“Individual performance?”
“Good heavens! This new trainee is already able to have his own individual performance?”
“So impressive! How did he do it?”
The trainees all looked at An Lin in envy and jealousy. It was as if they wanted to discover something unique from him.
Daphne left, and the group of handsome lads and beautiful ladies quickly dashed over to surround him.
“Liu Dabao, are you truly a trainee? How are you so impressive?”
“I’m Lin Mei, a singer.”
“I’m a ladies’ man, Li Bufan.”
“What are you going to perform tonight?”
“Are you truly a new trainee? Are you a main drawcard from somewhere else?”
A truckload of questions was directed at An Lin, yet An Lin didn’t seem annoyed in the least. Instead, he patiently answered the questions of these trainees, appearing especially friendly and amiable as he did so. This caused him to leave good impressions in the minds of the other trainees and drawcards.
Trainees were beings who rarely performed or didn’t perform at all.
Meanwhile, drawcards were beings who often performed and were relatively famous in the Red Ink Tavern.
As for main drawcards, they were naturally the pillars of the Red Ink Tavern. They were popular and warmly welcomed wherever they went.
There were only nineteen main drawcards in the entire Red Ink Tavern, and whether or not they performed was completely up to themselves. Thus, there were times where an entire day would pass without any of the main drawcards performing.
In addition, main drawcards also had their own personal training rooms. Thus, An Lin wasn’t able to meet them at this moment.
However, An Lin knew that these main drawcards were his true opponents. Moreover, he dearly wished that a main drawcard would perform tonight. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have a chance to become a main drawcard himself.
To receive twice the votes of the highest-scoring main drawcard… The difficulty of this… Tsk, tsk, tsk…
An Lin suddenly became a little excited.
“Move aside! Hurry up and move aside!”
“Big Brother Jin is arriving!”
The crowd of trainees and drawcards was forcefully separated by several people.
A handsome man who had a beard and was sturdily built casually strolled over with a cigar in his mouth. He was surrounded by several impressive-looking drawcards.
The man who had been referred to as Big Brother Jin peered down at An Lin and said with a chuckle, “You’re the trainee who has an individual performance right after joining the Red Ink Tavern? You’re nothing but a newbie. What talent can you have?”
Upon hearing this man’s ridicule, the trainees who had been extremely enthusiastic just then didn’t dare to speak up for An Lin. It was clear that they were slightly apprehensive of this Big Brother Jin.
At this moment, a pretty woman standing next to Big Brother Jin wore a haughty expression and crossed her arms before her chest as she said, “Liu Dabao, is it? Are you not going to hurry up and pay your respects?
“Jin Feihong is a top-notch drawcard of the Red Ink Tavern, and he’s the closest to becoming a main drawcard. He’s extremely interested in you, and he wants to take you in as an underling!”
