Chapter 63 Million Votes

The electronic screen has switched to the voting interface!

The number of votes for Zhang Hao was growing rapidly, breaking 10,000 in an instant, and 50,000 in two seconds...

Backstage, Jing Chenxi and Lin Fei stared intently at the big screen, their hearts pounding with anxiety!

Hu Mei and Huang Ju also tensed up at this moment, not knowing where to put their hands for a moment. They clenched their fists and their expressions were somewhat ferocious.

In the live stream, viewers are frantically clicking the voting button!

"Eighty thousand"

"One hundred thousand"

Two hundred thousand

......

Then very quickly, the number of votes exceeded 300,000.

When he saw the number of votes break through 200,000, Lin Fei was already excited. When it broke through 300,000, he plopped down in a chair.

"It's over, completely over."

She had prepared so meticulously for so long, spending a fortune to buy this song from Xue Xingzhi, and yet she lost to the lackeys that Xiao Qingfeng hired?

At this moment, all the audience members were in their throats.

With 12 seconds left, Zhang Hao's votes had already surpassed 500,000.

570,000.

Six hundred and thirty thousand.

720,000.

"Record broken! Record broken!"

Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted loudly!

"We're number one now, no, we've broken the 900,000 mark!"

"Ninety-one...ninety-three...."

......

finally.

At the moment the timer reset, Zhang Hao's votes reached exactly 1,010,000.

Upon seeing this scene, Jing Chenxi turned pale, as if all her energy had been drained away, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

"I lost! I actually lost!"

Jing Chenxi's eyes were fixed on the numbers on the big screen.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could I possibly lose!"

At this moment, Jing Chenxi seemed to have lost control. His shout was almost a scream, which startled everyone around him.

Hu Mei instantly snapped out of her daze. There were media present, and she couldn't let Jing Chenxi make a foolish mistake. She immediately rushed forward and pulled him hard.

The tug caused Jing Chenxi to stumble, but it also brought him back to his senses.

Realizing his lapse in composure, Jing Chenxi looked around in a panic. Fortunately, the media were all outside; otherwise, this scene would have definitely become a trending topic within twenty minutes.

"Xixi, calm down. Let's talk about it when we get back!"

Hu Mei was afraid that Jing Chenxi might not be able to handle the shock and might do something rash, which would make everything irreversible, so she quickly pulled him away from the scene.

On stage, the host was also very excited; he hadn't expected Zhang Hao to ultimately receive over a million votes.

The theme song alone, chosen by a million netizens, will generate a wave of publicity and become a benchmark in gaming history, since no game company has ever had a theme song selected by more than a million netizens before.

Without a doubt, Qimei Games made history.

The host excitedly grabbed Zhang Hao, his expression unusually excited: "1.01 million votes! This is the account's final vote count, and also the final vote count for 'Against the War'!"

"Let's give another round of applause to Zhang Hao and his 'Against the War' for breaking records and making history!"

A burst of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted from the audience.

At this moment, Zhang Hao raised the microphone and said with a serious expression, "This is Xiao Qingfeng's 'Reverse War'."

Xiao Qingfeng, who had remained calm and composed until now, nodded slightly.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers and congratulations from the audience, most people would have been lost in their own self-satisfaction. It was truly remarkable that Zhang Hao was still able to think of himself at this moment and promptly emphasize it.

Jing Chenxi was pulled out of the scene by Hu Mei, and the two of them looked so gloomy that it seemed like they could drip water.

Jing Chenxi clenched his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

He had hoped that with this meticulous preparation, he could trample Xiao Qingfeng underfoot and gloat in front of everyone, but reality gave him a resounding slap in the face.

"How could I lose to him again? I've given so much, why is it still not enough?"

Jing Chenxi was utterly dejected, his pride completely shattered. He was still resentful about his previous defeat, and this time he had hoped to avenge himself, but instead ended up in an even worse situation.

"I always thought I was a chosen one, but in front of Xiao Qingfeng, I was so vulnerable."

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

Hu Mei sat quietly to the side, her mood no better than Jing Chen's. The matter had blown up so much that it would soon spread throughout the entire internet.

The first defeat to Xiao Qingfeng could be attributed to underestimating his opponent or poor song selection, but this time, with the same theme and the same time, he still suffered a crushing defeat. Who can believe any other excuse?

As Hu Mei had predicted, before the two even returned to their residence, news of Jing Chenxi's defeat spread that evening, causing an uproar.

Xiao Qingfeng's fans are ecstatic!

"Teacher Xiao is truly amazing. Jing Chenxi suffered two crushing defeats. That's the difference in skill!"

"Jing Chenxi wants to challenge Xiao Qingfeng? He's simply overestimating himself!"

"Xiao Qingfeng's talent is unmatched, so Jing Chenxi shouldn't waste his energy."

Jing Chenxi's fans vehemently defended him, saying, "It's just bad luck. Chenxi has already tried his best!"

"Xiao Qingfeng must have pulled some strings, otherwise how could he have won twice?"

"Jing Chenxi still has a chance. We can't let two failures negate his potential!"

The two sides' fans went back and forth, and the argument became increasingly heated. Some fans even started attacking each other, and the language became more and more sharp.

"Jing Chenxi is simply less skilled, yet he refuses to admit it!"

"What's so great about Xiao Qingfeng? His glory is just temporary!"

For a time, the focus of online debate revolved around Xiao Qingfeng and Jing Chenxi, while Lin Fei seemed to have been forgotten, with his name only appearing occasionally in discussions.

Lin Fei, who had intended to prove to Xia Luan that he was no less capable than Xiao Qingfeng, ended up making a fool of himself this time, which made him furious.

Lin Fei, with a cold face, directly dialed Xue Xingzhi's number.

The call connected!

"Xue Xingzhi, what kind of rubbish did you write? It's not only inferior to Xiao Qingfeng, it's not even comparable to Jing Chenxi. I gave you eight million, and you're trying to fool me with this kind of trash?"

"......"

"Speak up, hey, why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling ashamed?"

After a long while, a calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Even though the song lost, I've already received the money for writing it!"

"Moreover, I don't think it's unfair that I lost to 'Against the War,' and I even quite like the song 'Against the War.'"

Lin Fei was so angry at Xue Xingzhi’s words that he almost vomited blood!

Although the first prize is ten million, I gave him eight million before I was even sure if I would win. Xue Xingzhi didn't lose out, but I, the one who suffered the most, was the one who lost out.

Huang Ju followed Lin Fei closely, not daring to even breathe loudly!

On the other side, all the singers had finished performing, and the highest number of votes among the last three singers was only 50,000, which meant that "Against the War" had won the championship.

The awards ceremony and signing ceremony will begin in ten minutes!
