Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 30

Ch30 - All Members Are A-Rank
‘Birth of an Idol’ was based on the concept that it was developed by the entire population of the nation. Their right to debut was chosen by the public. The fate of the contestants was placed in the hands of the audience; this easily motivated everyone to participate.

Many fans sincerely promoted their idols and voted, just to pick their favourite trainees to debut.

It was also because of this that there were many people who monitored the votes. They were always staring at the ever-changing numbers in order to speculate their favourite gege’s future.

When the voting first started, the people at the top of the rankings were mostly those who already had their own fanbases. Of course, there were also new people like Lu Xu who had attracted the votes of netizens after they watched the show. Although his progress at the beginning was slower, as the show became more popular, more people recognized him, and more fans gathered around him.

Along with the fact that a Movie King and singer were pulling votes for him, Lu Xu’s votes were climbing up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If Lu Xu had slowly climbed up to first place, no one would have thought it abrupt.

But Lan Gaojie had been the first to parachute into first place. Before everyone had even finished scolding his capitalist operation, Lu Xu suddenly rose to first place.

[@I Don’t Eat Fujian People: Mother did I see wrong. There was such a big gap in votes but Lu Xu caught up overnight. Isn’t this too magical?]

[@Going Up Mt. Liang With A Big Blade: I’m not suspecting Lu Xu of anything, but I just think that these votes rose too quickly. Maybe Lu Xu’s rich fans have also made their moves. The two parties are battling each other by throwing money?]

[@Cheese-Flavored Little Moon: Even though Lu Xu’s votes are rising a little too quickly, but I really think it’s natural he’s in first place.]

…

Many netizens felt like Lu Xu’s votes had soared up too fast, but Lu Xu had popular appeal. Everyone merely discussed it and didn’t say anything too ugly.

However, Lan Gaojie’s fans would not accept this. They directly tagged the program’s staff to have them investigate for voter fraud—

[@Cherish Gao Jie Heart Turns Blue: @Birth of an Idol Official V I want to ask the staff if Lu Xu’s rise in votes overnight is normal? Since there has been investigations and suspicions against us, isn’t it fair to also investigate his votes?]

Seeing Lu Xu’s votes rise rapidly, many people’s first reactions were to wonder if money was being thrown around.

But when they clicked on the contributions of fans, the highest votes didn’t exceed over a few thousand votes per person. It wasn’t possible at all for there to be some local tycoon throwing money.

The show aired a few days ago. The fans had already voted. How could he suddenly receive so many new votes now?

Faced with the doubts of Lan Gaojie’s fans, the program staff acted fairly and investigated Lu Xu’s votes.

After he knew the investigation results were out, Fan Zeng specifically rang the program staff to ask, “How is it going, there aren’t any issues, right?”

“The votes are all normal and there’s no sign of voter fraud, but there’s something a little strange ai…” The program staff looked at the vote distribution chart and said, “Lu Xu’s votes rose at a normal pace at all other times but between midnight and one in the morning, his votes suddenly surged up. The number of votes have been rising since then, but the tempo has slowed down considerably…”
