Although the first item tested dialogue, having excellent dialogue paired with other performances could garner a higher evaluation.
Elderly Judge: "Amazing! Amazing. It's my first time seeing someone so talented. The emotion he displayed didn't look like acting at all; it completely exceeded my imagination. I didn't expect him to perform in this way."
Young Judge: "Although there wasn't much description, his movements and expressions have vividly displayed those people who came to Penacony seeking opportunities back then."
Irritable Judge: "His methods were clean and neat, truly a genius at acting!"
The judges praised Pei Guang's performance. This kind of performance with no trace of acting, appearing as if it were real emotion, left them dumbfounded.
But in fact, Pei Guang's expression wasn't entirely acting.
They didn't expect to see such a wonderful performance here. They now began to look forward to what kind of performance Stelle would bring them.
Pei Guang had already performed disappointment.
What? This disappointment wasn't right? The first acting round compared dialogue, not who performed positive energy.
As long as the lines allowed people to feel the emotion, it counted as a success.
Thus, the plot in the competition continued.
Looking at Pei Guang's disappointed expression, Stelle licked her lips and looked at Pei Guang with a face full of excitement: "Do you want it?"
Pei Guang: "No!"
At this moment, Stelle's excited tone was overflowing: "Really? Then I'll take it while it's hot!"
Once this sentence came out, all the judges fell silent.
One "Just this?", one "while it's hot.": although there weren't many lines, they displayed their respective emotions vividly.
Although the first competition was a dialogue competition, and the two perfectly displayed emotions through simple lines, the judges were curious about what Stelle was going to do with the Memetic Entity.
What exactly did she mean by "while it's hot"? Take it to get high? They thought that was unlikely. Even if it was a made-up plot, a man and woman duo like Pei Guang and Stelle was surely better than a Memetic Entity without that function.
Therefore, the judges dared to say that this "while it's hot" definitely wasn't "while it's hot" in the general sense, otherwise Stelle's tone wouldn't be so excited.
And Stelle's actions also revealed what she meant. In the performance, Stelle took out a strange device. After stuffing the Memetic Entity into it, the originally tattered car instantly became full of power.
This was a bio-power station Pei Guang had someone make earlier. Although called a bio-power station, after modification by some people, it could generate electricity from anything stuffed into it.
At this moment, everyone understood the meaning of "while it's hot." So "while it's hot" meant taking the Memetic Entity to generate electricity before it dissipated?
This duo was terrifying: when others encountered a Memetic Entity, they either ran away or fought hard. These two were great; one robbed it, the other used it to generate electricity.
Truly making the best use of everything?
In their view, it was fortunate that this was a performance. Otherwise, they would really worry about what kind of destruction such a wicked duo would cause to the world.
The performance continued. The opening performance pleasantly surprised the judges. They were very curious about what kind of story these two would bring them next.
While doing this, the Memokeeper discovered that the stage, which was only temporarily created with Memoria and could shatter at any time, actually became more and more stable as Pei Guang stayed inside longer.
Pei Guang didn't know about the special stage. However, as an actor, he suddenly had a bold idea at this moment.
Before the performance, he read the script. The script said this was an interpretation of things that had happened in Penacony.
Then rounding it up, wasn't he acting out Penacony's history?
What? Fake? Fake is good! If it wasn't fake, how could he and Gallagher, this pair of Litterateurs, start playing?
Thinking of this, Pei Guang's playful spirit rose directly.
Since the script said to perform freely, as long as the lines and emotional performance were in place, anything would do, so he wouldn't be polite.
And so, under the gaze of the judges and the live audience, problems began to gradually appear in this plot.
Originally an all-ages live broadcast, it instantly turned into 20+.
Pei Guang didn't do anything excessive; he just made a proposal to Stelle within the plot.
"I thought of a way to make money, a method not prohibited here."
Originally, the judges were still curious about how Pei Guang would perform the subsequent plot, but when they saw Pei Guang and Stelle's actions, the judges were dumbfounded.
Because this stage was maintained by a Memokeeper, and as a Memokeeper who knew of Pei Guang, upon discovering that Pei Guang was creating 'memories' within the temporary Memoria Zone he created, he directly called over everyone he could call.
Anyway, the Family members hadn't discovered their capabilities as Memokeepers, so while Pei Guang was performing the first phase of the plot, almost all the Memokeepers in Penacony who could make it had arrived.
Everyone discussed it briefly and decided to let the plot performed by Pei Guang continue, because they were also curious about what exactly this guy could come up with.
Looking across the entire universe, Pei Guang was someone capable of doing things that even the Elation couldn't do.
In fact, this was exactly the case.
Under the help and gaze of the Memokeepers, they saw Pei Guang in the script tear off half of the not-quite-dead Memetic Entity, draw a groove on this half, and then drive the dilapidated little car to start selling ass all over the world.
According to the script, even Penacony at that time had certain laws: at the very least, coercion and trading were not allowed.
But here came the problem: Pei Guang was grabbing a Memetic Entity to sell its ass. A Memetic Entity didn't count as a person, so it wasn't protected by human laws.
A Memetic Entity wasn't an object either, so laws regarding property protection were useless too.
And so, in this script, Pei Guang took Stelle and drove the dilapidated little car, catching Memetic Entities all over the world to sell their asses.
The only pity was that the live broadcast was considered all-ages. Even if the creators engaged in some illegal activities, they were only described lightly.
No images would appear, and it was just glossed over in text.
But even if it was glossed over, the people watching Pei Guang and Stelle perform were silent. Because they were completely unsure whether Pei Guang and Stelle were acting or if they would really do such things.
Especially those working in law-related fields: watching Pei Guang and Stelle's behavior, they felt their brains were about to fry. That was a Memetic Entity; humans, at the very least, shouldn't...
Not to mention the lawmakers, even the Memokeepers outside helping to maintain this temporary Memoria Zone were dumbfounded.
While Pei Guang was taking Stelle to cause trouble here, quite a few people in Penacony were watching the live broadcast.
Just today, 'Ass Literature' had appeared in Penacony.
Regarding Ass Literature, most people still held a skeptical attitude. But when they saw the SoulGlad Festivity Auditions live broadcast, and saw the people inside performing how to sell ass based on Penacony's history, they suddenly discovered that this seemed like a genuinely possible event?
Compared to the dumbfounded live audience, Gallagher, who had been paying attention to Pei Guang all along, also took action.
After all, having received the approval of Enigmata... he wouldn't be done for anytime soon, so he might as well follow the previous idea and continue with it.
Anyway, the Family... hadn't done few shady deeds that couldn't see the light of day over so many years.
Gallagher felt at ease no matter how much he blackened their name!
Besides, this was restoring history!
Didn't you see that most History Fictionologists and Riddlers admitted that what your Family said was correct?
