Chapter 60: 059 Xia Nuo's Secret Weapon



```

The second round of "The Ultimate Moe Kid Show" is the talent competition, which can be said to be the essence of the show each year.

For general talent performances, scoring is usually comprehensive, considering multiple dimensions to ensure fairness, completeness, and a true reflection of the performer's skills and professionalism.

Therefore, contestants usually advance through a combination of professional jury scoring, celebrity judge scoring, and live audience voting. Due to the large number of participants, multiple rounds of elimination and selection may be necessary.

There are even rumors of possible vote rigging.

It's a very cruel, real, unsympathetic, cold, adult world.

But please note, this is not your average talent show!

This is "The Ultimate Moe Kid Show"!

A stage for young children to showcase themselves!

You can't expect every child to have a talent like Emperor Youyou's!

So, in fact, the judging criteria for "The Ultimate Moe Kid Show" are based on these three major dimensions—

One, passion and vitality!

This looks at whether the child shows an enthusiastic attitude and high level of passion during the performance, whether they fully immerse themselves in the role or action, and whether they can maintain confidence and happiness even in the face of occasional mistakes.

Two, imagination and creativity!

It assesses whether the child's performance displays unique creativity and imagination, such as original movements, improvised segments, or distinctive interpretations of songs. Stiff, conventional performances won't impress the judges—you have to showcase your uniqueness in front of them.

Three, performance and popularity!

No matter how unconventional your talent is, as long as you can make the audience laugh, attract their likes and support, you meet the "moe" criteria. If everyone enjoys watching, you can advance!

As for the specific advancement method, Fang You glanced at the competition rules.

Professional jury scoring + celebrity judge scoring + live audience voting.

...

Isn't this the same thing!

Looking through past videos, Fang You found that in this round of the competition, there had been children who could pee 2 meters away, the Booger King who could blow the world's biggest bubble with snot, a Friend of Animals who could communicate with cats, a medium physique who could see ghosts on people, and a dark boy with sealed deep and dark fantasy powers.

All these kids with powerful superpowers were eliminated at this stage.

The actual kids who advanced to the third round in previous years were skateboarding prodigies, table tennis prodigies, abacus prodigies, memory prodigies, Rubik's Cube prodigies, violin prodigies, calligraphy prodigies, magician prodigies, martial arts prodigies, and kids whose dads were directors.

It's a very cruel, real, unsympathetic, cold, child's world!

Of course, when it comes to talent in this area, the drum prodigy Fang You won't lose to them.

Through practicing the drums and the Rhythmic Mastery experience obtained from the lottery, Fang You's "Rhythmic Mastery" has reached level 5, granting him an enhanced sense of timbre and stronger rhythm.

With improved rhythmic sense and physical endurance, Fang You's drumming skills have soared, and he can now play a medley of the top ten park anthems without breaking a sweat.

Fang You even gained a piano talent through the experience accumulated from previous Emotional Energy drawings, mastering level 2 piano fingering.

Fang You went to another mother's house to test his piano skills, a sight that greatly shocked Xia Anyang.

From the description of Emotional Energy, Xia Anyang deeply recognized the differing gaps within the human species.

...

"Youyou should smile more, you look the best when you smile."

Xia Nuo rubbed Fang You's face, rolling and squeezing it with her watery large eyes fixed on Fang You, who was emotionlessly being rubbed and pinched, then asked:

"Nuo Nuo, are you very confident in your talent show this time?"

"Yes, I have a secret weapon!"

Xia Nuo, with her hands on her hips, declared, "And that is... my dance talent!"

"Er..." Fang You said, "Are you going to perform the ballet you've learned recently?"

"Not ballet, what's so amazing about that, I'm going to perform an original dance!"

Xia Nuo said mysteriously, "Actually, I have a superpower that lets me dance to any music!"

Fang You remembered the drum dance performance "Flower Protector" they had prepared together for Children's Day on June 1st.

Of course, that was when they were three years old.

Xia Nuo indeed had a talent for dance, but...

"Do you mean you plan to go up on stage and perform live?"

"Yes!"

Xia Nuo nodded her head, "But I haven't decided which song to use for the background music yet, the song can affect my performance."

"You definitely can dance differently every time," Fang You said.

"What's the problem with that, as long as it looks good, and everyone likes it, that's fine!"

"Then... show me a dance first."

"Youyou, help me choose a song first! Or you can just play drums for me, if you play the drums, I can dance."

So Fang You played the drums live, and Xia Nuo quickly started dancing lively to the rhythm of his drum beats.

It must be said Xia Nuo's dancing truly had a feel to it, she might have started off dancing randomly, but soon she was able to keep up with the rhythm and gradually looked quite proper.

Very quirky and funny, without any mechanical imitation, it was the purest response of a human cub naturally responding to music with dance moves.

Plus, watching Xia Nuo twisting and almost bubbling out of sight with cuteness, an image suddenly emerged in Fang You's mind.

The culture of Otaku dance wasn't popular in this world yet, and Xia Nuo's feeling of "trying to dance to music" was very much in line with the concept of Otaku dance.

This child... might be able to lead the industry!

After Fang You finished drumming, he approached and instructed her, "Maybe you could try this, and this, then this..."

Some things might have been forgotten long ago, but there are dances Youyou still remembers.

If it's catchy enough, it will live in your head, crossing oceans and lingering there.

Xia Nuo was also gradually captivated by the dance Fang You performed.

"Wow! Youyou's hand-waving action is so cute!"

Xia Nuo really liked the adaptation Fang You did to her dance, "I want to learn it! Youyou, teach me!"
