To achieve a good ranking in this competition, all the contestants, backed by their agencies, spared no effort in rehearsal and preparation, inviting the most excellent guest performers they could find at all costs.

The contest for the championship between Hua Yuhan and Lu Yiyao was the biggest highlight of this season's "Future Child," with audiences camping on the live broadcast channel early, waiting for the show to start.

The barrage was almost completely dominated by the fans of Hua Yuhan and her three invited guests, as if the rankings for this performance had been decided and Hua Yuhan had already become the top contestant.

Under countless eyes, the program officially started, and, as usual, the efforts of each contestant during the preparation period were introduced first, followed by their respective performances.

Because of the elimination aspect, the quality of this performance was visibly higher than the first one, and the invited guests all had very skilled business abilities and stage presence.

Unless it was outrageously bad, it all welcomed rounds of applause.

Of course, with the program's buildup, everyone was looking forward to Hua Yuhan's and Lu Yiyao's performances, especially Lu Yiyao, whose guest performer was still a secret yet to be revealed by the program team!

For half a month, the media had gone crazy, using various channels to dig up insider information, even going as far as to bribe program insiders with a hefty sum for firsthand news, yet even insiders had no clue who she had invited!

Meanwhile, another piece of news was leaked – the investor of this season's "Future Child" turned out to be Zhang Menglong!

No wonder this investor didn't need any brand exposure, did no advertising, and seemed like a philanthropic fool.

But Zhang Menglong, who doesn't treat money as money, could indeed do such a thing!

So, Zhang Menglong's furious action for his beloved is understandable.

With his money invested, he demanded that the program team be fair and transparent, with no tricks or scripts. But the Hua Family was not playing fair – how could he tolerate it? If you want to spend money to secure first place, then he, Zhang Menglong, could spend money to throw you to the last place!

Under immense anticipation, Hua Yuhan's performance finally started!

As the spotlight lit up, Hua Yuhan appeared on stage like a fairy, and the gentle music echoed through the stage, immediately drawing a wave of tearful applause.

As she began to sing, the audience slowly closed their eyes. It had to be said that Hua Yuhan's skills were excellent; her vocal strength almost overshadowed most of today's young singers, and this time the stage was fully live, meaning her voice was almost unprocessed.

For a newcomer to have such a voice was already quite remarkable!

A few lines of lyrics later, the music suddenly changed from soft to rhythmically intense, and three young and handsome figures appeared on stage – one in a black suit, one in a white suit, and the other in vibrant overalls.

"Ahh! Hubby! Hubby (*beep*) me!"

"Oh my, too handsome, I'm rushing in!"

"This is literally the stage of the century, girls, it's time to show our unity, hurry and vote for Hua Yuhan!"

"Male gods and a fairy, I'm so jealous!"

...

The voting system had been open since each contestant started their performance, and now, halfway through the program, the leading contestant had only surpassed a little over an hour of voting.

But in that hour, their votes had only reached just over 60,000.

However, Hua Yuhan's votes, within just four minutes of her performance, skyrocketed to over five million votes, nearly a hundredfold difference, and her vote tally was still climbing as if on a rocket.

This showed the astonishing level of popularity Hua Yuhan had achieved with the support of these three top-tier celebrities.

"Damn, nearly six million votes in five minutes, who else could have such a support rate?"

"Is this the power of a top-tier celebrity? Absolutely terrifying!"

"Zhang is really meeting his match this time; there probably aren't many in the entertainment industry who can top them now,"

...

"Contestant Hua Yuhan has presented us with a perfect stage. Although we're only halfway through the performance, I think there isn't much suspense about who the champion will be,"

The mentors all gave very high evaluations; Hua Yuhan's stage quality was extremely high, and the stage effects were meticulously designed. One could tell that the gown she wore was expensive. For this performance, she must've invested a great deal.

After Hua Yuhan's performance, the remaining shows suddenly became tasteless, and some people even left the live broadcast, with only a part of the audience sticking around because they believed that man definitely couldn't lose.

...

"So next up, let's have Miss Lu Yiyao bring us her performance on stage!"

As the lights dimmed, a spirited piano sound erupted, and a spotlight shone at the edge of the stage where a man in a suit was playing an ancient piano.

When the camera zoomed in, everyone clearly saw his face.

"It's Lang Lang!"

"Wow, they even got this piano master to come? But still not quite on par with the previous three, eh?"

"Well, no helping it, though he's an international piano master, the charm of a celebrity superstar is just different!"

"Quiet! What's that sound?" Someone suddenly held their breath as a voice like a siren echoed across the stage, and on the other side of the stage, a slender man appeared.

"Zhou Shen! Vitas! Damn, these are really two sirens!"

"Wait, what about this rich baritone voice? That's not them, is it?"

"Hmm? Who are those two white-haired old men? This voice is too terrifying, right?"

"Damn! Those are Domingo and Carreras, two of the world's top three tenors who are still alive!"

"What the heck? What kind of lineup is this? Just ten seconds in, and the intro vocal harmony is sung by these world-class singers?"

"Another person is coming out!"

"Leon Lai?"

"Jacky!"

"Aaron Kwok!"

"Leon Lai!"

"Damn, the Four Heavenly Kings? How long has it been since these four big shots last appeared together?"

"And the time management master, Teacher Luo? Tsk, tsk, tsk, his waist is moving too fast!"

"Wait? What are they doing? Backup dancing? The Four Heavenly Kings doing backup dancing for her?"

"It's not over yet!"

Every time a new guest appeared, the audience thought everyone was already there, but then another major guest would show up.

"Teacher Tengger?"

"Teacher Gong Lina?"

"Jay Chou? Why has he lost weight? Has he finally stopped drinking bubble tea?"

"And JJ Lin!"

"Eh? Wait, where are the judges? Weren't there supposed to be five mentors? Why are none visible?"

"Damn! The judges are all on stage! You are supposed to be judges, can't you keep a bit of your dignity?"

"Damn... did they just bring the entire entertainment industry up here?"

...

"Teacher Tan Jing? Teacher Liu Huan?"

"Teacher Han Hong?"

"What the hell, even the national team is out here? What's even the point anymore? Is this the power of Zhang's money?"

"This is just a smackdown, compared to the national team, how did the previous performance even count?"

"Members of the national team, could you please take your seats at the judges' table?"
