Climb To The Top

Chapter 1 - World 1

With a flash of white light in front of her eyes, Jiang Ting found herself suddenly in an unfamiliar place. Above the gorgeous stage, a high-pitched announcement sounded from a black loudspeaker.

"...Welcome to the first season of "National Couple", and now we have the Chief Instructor, Zhang Ning, the National Queen..."

"...Dance Instructor, Seven Fox Captain Lin Ershu."

"...Vocal Tutor, He Xi, the Prince of Love Songs."

"...Arranger Tutor, Gold Medal Producer Wen Ya."

Immediately afterwards, with a 'bang', countless fireworks rose around, and the four instructors who had countless fans or high status in the entertainment industry slowly appeared on the stage.

"Ahhhhhh..."

Jiang Ting's ear-pierced heard the scream again. She glanced at the girls around her without any trace, and her brows frowned even deeper.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Jiang Ting's consciousness.

[Ultimate mission: Become the champion of the first season of "National Couple", Reward: 100 points, 10-year vacation period.]

Jiang Ting felt the frenetic atmosphere around her, and communicated with the system in her consciousness calmly.

"Can I receive the plot now?"

[Transmitting, please receive...]

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Ting looked at the watch in her hand, and her thoughts drifted away.

***

Jiang Ting is an orphan from the earth, 19 years old this year. She has loved singing and dancing since she was a child, and was successfully selected when a well-known star-making company selected trainees. Since then, the company has trained her as an ace for 10 years.

Just as she was about to make her debut, the agent got carried away with pride and took her back to the company while driving drunkenly, and the two went to Huangquan* together.

*the Yellow Springs/the underworld of Chinese mythology

Feeling the car fragments stabbed to her body, Jiang Ting felt that her death was really wrong. She was lying on her back on the back seat, the corners of her mouth kept surging with salty blood stains, and she said in a low voice: "MMP*'s, Zheng... Dayou, if I be... ghosts will not let you go."

*Chinese slang = MMP, Ma Mai Pi, Motherfucker

Zheng Dayou is her dead ghost agent. Seeing the other side lying motionless in the driver's seat, Jiang Ting guessed that he was completely dead, but Jiang Ting felt that he could still be rescued a bit.

A few minutes later, the ambulance came and Jiang Ting was unconscious.

In the emergency room, the doctors and nurses were sweating on their foreheads. Her internal organs were bleeding profusely, and the bleeding point could not be found. In the end, she lost too much blood, and the ECG monitor became a straight line.

The 19-year-old young girl died on the operating table just like that, and the rescue failed.

But, no one knew, just when Jiang Ting died, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind, saying that she could live by signing a contract with the system.

Adhering to the principle of 'it is better to live than to die', Jiang Ting signed the contract with the system.

After signing the contract, Jiang Ting knew that the system was the product of the high-level Planet Moore. It specially picked up souls like Jiang Ting from the gaps in time and space, and asked them to sign the contract to bring happiness as spiritual food to the Moore people.
