The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

Ye Zexi's face was blank, and at one point he wondered if he had misheard, how did he get the first place?

Ye Zexi was not the only one who was surprised, because the players present could not believe their ears.

Tang Jing got beaten down, what is this situation?

Soon He Jinyun came out to clarify: "The rankings of all the players in the first round were all voted by fans. As of 9 o'clock this morning, Ye Zexi had a total of 525,578 votes. Tang Jing received a total of 508,112 votes."

"My God, Ye Zexi's votes actually overwhelmed Tang Jing!"

"But it makes sense, Ye Zexi must have attracted a lot of fans after being on the hot search for so long yesterday."

"I was really shocked, don't Tang Jing Weibo have nearly one million fans?"

"Yes, I remember that I saw Tang Jing far ahead in the polls when I got up this morning."

"But Ye Zexi's performance yesterday was indeed better than Tang Jing's performance. Fans' votes are also supervised and must not be faked."

This is also true. This time, in order to prevent invalid votes, the program team specially invited the Supervision Bureau to monitor the whole process. There would be absolutely no bot voting behavior.

Compared to the surprise of the other players, Tang Jing's expression was as usual, only the fingers that were clasped together turned pale.1

The recording was still on-going.

The teammates' selection goes in the order of first come first serve, and the first rank contestant gets to choose first.

Shan Zeyu handed the microphone to Ye Zexi: "Come here, Zexi, you get to choose your team members first."

Ye Zexi didn't expect that he would be first. He had no intention to grab the high ranking.

The only trouble was that he would automatically become the captain of the team when he is in the top ten this time. He was really afraid of being in the first place. The only preferential treatment was quite troublesome.

Ye Zexi's requirements for the team members were not high, so he closed his eyes and said: "Then 11, 22, 33, 44."

Shan Zeyu's expression was obviously quite shock: "So casual?"

He Jinyun also gave Ye Zexi a surprised look.

The four players who were selected were even more surprised. Of course, the most surprising one was Jiang Ran. He ranked 11th this time.

Jiang Ran didn't expect that he would be selected by Ye Zexi to be in the same group.

Was it possible that Ye Zexi deliberately selected him to be in the same group, using his role as leader to suppress him, giving him the fewest lines in the lyrics?

Jiang Ran's face suddenly became very ugly, and he couldn't help but say: "Isn't this not so good?"

Seeing Jiang Ran, Ye Zexi was also taken aback, but soon he smiled at Jiang Ran and said, "I'm looking forward to working with you in the same group. Our luck is really good this time."

Jiang Ran smiled, in front of so many people, Jiang Ran couldn't refuse directly, and could only say: "I mean, I just think it's a little too casual."

After speaking, he looked at the instructors on stage.

The small group's members are chosen by the group leader, and the instructors have no right to intervene. However, Shan Zeyu still wanted to confirm: "Are you sure? Once you have chosen your members, you can't change them."

Ye Zexi nodded affirmatively: "Yup, it's a good choice. I look forward to working with Jiang Ran."

Since Ye Zexi had said so, the instructors could not say anything, so the members of Ye Zexi's group were selected.

The other players looked at each other, and they really didn't understand what Ye Zexi was thinking in his head.

They thought that Ye Zexi would definitely choose strong teammates. Who would have thought that he would pick his teammates so casually.

Is it possible that Ye Zexi is afraid that his teammates might overpower him during the group members' PK?

This is not impossible.

But there is no need for him to choose Jiang Ran, right?

Jiang Ran and Ye Zexi don't like each other, this is something almost everyone knows.

The group was set, and Jiang Ran could only follow the rules reluctantly.

Ye Zexi took the initiative to walk towards Jiang Ran, smiled and said, "Let's do our best."

Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, and he took a long time to hold back a smile: "Although you're a teammate, you're also an opponent. I will eliminate you."1

Ye Zexi curled his lips: "Really? I'm looking forward to it."

The other three team members looked at each other, then looked at the two, and they could already see that next week's training would be hell on earth.　

Next, it was the other top nine's turn to choose their teammates. Compared to Ye Zexi, they were much more cautious. After all, for the time being, everyone still did not know what the group assessment was.

What if their group is all vocal, but this time the assessment is dance?

No one dares to be careless.

Soon, ten small groups were formed.

At this time, Shan Zeyu announced the team assessment for the second performance.

The program group has prepared five songs, and the group leader is to draw the song for their group to perform this time.

The two teams draw the same song, and they automatically become PK teams.

Ye Zexi's luck this time was pretty good, and he got a song with only a few simple dance moves.

No need to sing and dance, it's perfect.

The song selection also ended soon. Cui Yi's group got the same song as Ye Zexi's group.

Cui Yi was in third place in the first performance.

Ye Zexi was a bit impressed with him. Cui Yi has a tough look with exceptionally deep facial features, and his look is more towards European and American features.

The key is he can sing and dance, it can be said that his singing and dancing skills are excellent, which is why Cui Yi's ranking is so high.

Cui Yi first stretched out his hand to Ye Zexi: "It seems we are destined to compete."

Ye Zexi smiled and shook hands with him: "Let's work hard together."

Cui Yi nodded, and said nothing.

Once the song was selected, the rest of the time would be left to the players to arrange their performance.

The second round was less than a week away, and there was not much time left for everyone.

The instructors announced they're dismissed to go training on their own, and there was a sense of tension in the training room.

As soon as the instructors left, Jiang Ran took the lead and said: "We don't have much time left. Our opponent is Cui Yi's team. Let's start training tonight."
