Maestro Warner said, “Competitions are ruthless. No matter what happens, it cannot influence the judges’ scoring. Otherwise, it

would be unfair to the other contestants.”

Having served as a judge in numerous major competitions, Warner had seen countless unexpected incidents. Even if a contestant

collapsed mid-performance and had to be rushed to the hospital, they would not be given a chance to perform again. Otherwise, if everyone started collapsing and replaying their performances, the whole competition would descend into chaos.

Reina nodded. “True talent will always shine. Kelly has the skill-this one performance doesn’t define her. I checked the schedule;

the second-round cycle comes last. She still has a chance to compete against Sharon and even fight for the championship.”

Knowing that Kelly hadn’t shown her full potential, the tension in the room eased slightly.

Online, viewers who had been about to leave the livestream paused, their attention caught by what had just unfolded.

[Oh my God! Kelly is not only ill but also injured! If she were at full strength, I can’t even imagine how terrifying her skill would

be.]

(All these adversities, and she faces them with a smile, not a single tear. She’s so strong!]

[Yes! I hate watching shows where contestants just cry and play the victim. People tune in to enjoy themselves, not to watch sob

stories. Look at Kelly, so positive and inspiring.]

[Kelly is so motivating! I’m voting for her!]

[Sharon got lucky. An effortless win.]

[Wait a minute! Don’t twist it. Sharon won on skill, not luck. Why are you imagining Kelly could’ve beaten her if she performed at

full strength? Give me a break.]

[Luck is part of skill. If Kelly were really that strong, she wouldn’t have told anyone about her illness. Isn’t that just subtly playing

the victim?]

For a while, the comments section erupted with every opinion imaginable. Fans of Sharon and Kelly clashed, each claiming their idol as the strongest. Some even dug up dirt on the opposing side, turning the livestream into a frenzy.

Fabian was watching the comments when the livestream coordinator suddenly inhaled sharply.

“Fabian, the livestream just surged with viewers-more than during Sharon’s performance! Kelly has broken Sharon’s record!”

Fabian hurried to check. In just a short time, the livestream had hit 1.5 million viewers.

Perhaps the sudden influx had overloaded the servers, because the stream started lagging.

Fabian immediately turned to the tech team. “Brendan, didn’t I tell you to stabilize the servers? How is there still lag?”

Brendan Mark was drenched in sweat and bewildered. He shook his head. “Normally, even with tens of millions watching, the

Another technician hesitated before speaking. “I’ve seen this happen before. If too many people enter at once, it can cause

congestion: Brendan and I reinforced the system to prevent this.”

Fabian’s brow furrowed. “And?”

The technician swallowed, unsure if he should continue. “I checked the backend data. Over 500,000 people entered within the

same second. That’s what caused the lag.”

Fabian raised an eyebrow, realization dawning. Half a million people in a single second. No wonder the servers were giving out.
