"Uriel."
"What do you think about 'Galaxy Hymn' and 'The Woman Who Sells Camellia'?"
As the host of the arena, Uriel had been staying quiet ever since the match began. He did not say anything or do anything unnecessary. Gulimo and Luigi had completely ignored Uriel's presence.
Now, Mulloy's question reminded them that there was a fourth contestant in the arena.
"Must I … comment?" Uriel's voice was a little slow, but Angor knew it was not because he was hesitating. It was a side effect of the "dream".
Speaking of which, Angor also found it strange. Both Uriel and Gulimo were in the "dream" state, but Gulimo's mind was much smoother.
Was it because Gulimo was a contestant and needed more mental power?
Angor did not know, so he had to keep the question to himself for now.
Back in the dungeon, Mulloy heard Uriel's answer and smiled. "It's up to you whether you want to comment or not, of course. But do you really not have any thoughts about such an exciting match? "
Uriel considered for a moment. "I do."
"Then tell us what you think," said Mulloy.
Uriel hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. "Sure."
Uriel did not say anything right away. Instead, he remained silent for a while. He seemed to be choosing his words carefully.
On the other side, Luigi and Gulimo also looked at Uriel.
Luigi was very interested in Uriel's comment. After all, this was Uriel's dungeon, and his opinion would determine the rest of the quest.
Gulimo, on the other hand, did not seem to care about Uriel's comment, but he still wanted to know what his "enemy" thought.
About half a minute later, Uriel slowly opened his mouth. "Luigi's performance is a performance that will entertain the audience to their heart's content."
Gulimo's performance can make people want to see more, especially 'The Woman Who Sells Camellia'. The music will linger in your ears for days. "
One was enjoying himself, while the other was still unsatisfied.
Uriel's comment was obviously fake. It was hard to tell who was the winner from his words alone.
But it was normal. It was difficult to determine who was better in art. This was especially true for the two opponents, who each had their own merits in various dimensions.
As a spectator, Uriel had no need to compete.
Otherwise, what was the use of witnesses?
Murloy didn't mind Uriel's actions. He nodded lightly. "Not bad."
After saying this, Mulloy turned to look at Guleymo and Luigi. "I believe that the two of you should be very curious about my evaluation."
"My evaluation might disappoint you," Mulloy said as he opened the last note in his right hand.
Under the watchful eyes of Gulaimo and Luigi, Mulloy pointed the front of the paper at them.
"My evaluation is that both of you are 4.8 points."
A draw?
Gulimo and Luigi looked at each other, but didn't say anything. Instead, they turned back to Murloy, waiting for him to speak.
Mulloy didn't explain further. Instead, he handed the paper to Gulaimo. "You two can take a look at it yourselves. I'm not giving random grades."
Two minutes later, Gulaimo finished reading Mulloy's evaluation. He handed the paper to Luigi with a calm expression.
After reading it, Luigi's expression turned strange.
There wasn't much written evaluation on the paper. It was just a three-dimensional table.
Technique (2.5 points), deduction (1.5 points), extra point (1 point).
Gulaimo received full marks for both technique and deduction. Only 0.2 points were deducted from the extra point. Mulloy's comment was, "A wonderful performance needs some design that can make the audience smile. It can be a memory point or a brilliant idea." In terms of design, Gulaimo lacked some novelty.
Luigi's extra point was full marks, but 0.1 points were deducted from his technique and deduction.
Mulloy's evaluation of Luigi was: A performance that was close to the peak in all aspects, but close didn't mean perfect. The technique had a hint of craftsmanship, and the deduction was a bit rusty. However, the extra design was quite innovative.
Although Mulloy gave both of them 4.8 out of 10, he wasn't actually trying to pass them the test. His evaluation was targeted.
Indeed, Gulaimo's performance was wonderful, but he lacked some novelty in his design.
On the other hand, Luigi lacked technique and experience in large-scale performances. Therefore, it was reasonable to deduct two points. As for the extra points, both Gulaimo and the rest of the people present agreed with this. Therefore, it was normal to get full marks.
Two different evaluations, but the same score appeared. This was clearly just a coincidence.
However, if one really wanted to look deeper, Luigi still felt that he had lost.
This was because a few days ago, he had thought of some "gimmicks" during his performance to increase the audience's impression of him and increase the evaluation of his performance.
For this, he had simulated many different scenes and thought of hundreds of different Easter egg designs.
This time, he had added the excerpt from "The Woman Who Sells Camellias" to "Galaxy Hymn." This was actually one of these Easter eggs.
In other words, the performance was temporary, but the idea wasn't.
Therefore, if this gimmicky Easter egg was excluded, Luigi's extra points should be the same as Gulaimo's, with another 0.2 points deducted.
In other words, the real standard was 4.6 points for Luigi and 4.8 points for Gulaimo.
Gulaimo won.
Of course, this was only Luigi's inner thoughts. In order to successfully complete the main mission, he definitely wouldn't say it out loud.
However, after this duel, Luigi's heart was filled with motivation. He knew that he was still lacking, and this could be seen from this match. In the future, if he wanted to step onto the "stage of dreams", he had to make up for these shortcomings.
After Mulloy's evaluation, he already had a direction to work towards.
That was to improve his performance standards and perform more large-scale performances … However, large-scale performances were very rare in the White Sun Mirror Region. Perhaps he should go to the southern region to perform? Or open up a large-scale performance venue in the Dream Crystal Domain?
While Luigi was silently planning for his future, Mulloy said, "Since this duel is a draw, then forget about it. We'll use the results of the first round as the basis for the victory of this Star Climbing Challenge. "
Luigi naturally wouldn't refute and nodded.
Gulaimo thought for a moment and agreed with Mulloy's suggestion.
Although Gulaimo had previously said that a draw would count as his loss. However, a draw here referred to one win and one loss in the two rounds.
The tie caused by the same score in the first round of duels was not included in the grand words he had said earlier.
After seeing that both of them agreed, Mulloy raised his left hand.
He opened his hand, and there was only a note in it.
There was no evaluation in the first round, and the final result was based on Mulloy's evaluation.
Mulloy said, "Although there's no evaluation in the first round, you can now tell me what you think of your opponent's performance in the first round."
Mulloy looked at Gulaimo first.
Gulaimo shrugged. "I don't have any opinions. Just give your evaluation."
For Gulaimo, "Grand Garden" still made him feel a little uneasy. After all, it had relied on external forces. However, he had to admit that the external forces of "Grand Garden" made this performance almost perfect.
Some performances that relied on external forces would only make people laugh and didn't match at all.
However, some performances relied on external forces, like fire borrowing wind, and could instantly set a prairie ablaze.
Even though Luigi's performance in "Grand Garden" had borrowed external forces, he had borrowed them very well. External forces that could make the performance more perfect were part of the performance itself.
Thus, although Gulaimo found it hard to accept, he didn't think that Luigi had cheated.
Luigi said, "I don't have any opinions either, but if I were a witness, I would give 'Poem of War' a score of more than 2.5 out of 100. This is a technique that I can't reach at this stage … "
If it weren't for the fact that the technical score was limited to 2.5, Luigi might have given "Poem of War" a high score of 3 or even 4.
In "Poem of War," Gulaimo had used a harp to simulate the dense drumbeats of war. It was simply a superb technique.
Luigi knew very well that even if he learned it himself, it would probably take a few years or more for him to get started.
At this stage, he indeed couldn't reach such a technique.
In the face of Luigi's praise, Gulaimo took it all in. He even raised his chin slightly to express his inner satisfaction.
If Mulloy were to ask Gulaimo now, he would definitely throw out that familiar arrogant sentence: "I deserve it."
He had put "Poem of War" in the first round to show off his skills.
At the same time, it was also to give Luigi pressure. If he was shocked by Gulaimo's dazzling skills, it was very likely that he would perform improperly in the performance and cause a disgrace in the duel.
But Luigi was very good. He withstood the pressure.
Just this temperament alone surpassed all the harp performers in Birmingham's Eden Academy.
"Okay, since neither of you have any opinions, I'll directly announce the results …" After Mulloy finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something. "Wait, I forgot about Uriel. What about you? Do you have any thoughts? "
Uriel shook his head. "The previous evaluation was my evaluation of the two duels."
In other words, Uriel still felt that Gulaimo and Luigi were evenly matched.
He couldn't decide who would win in the end. It depended on Mulloy's evaluation.
"Looks like I'll have to be the bad guy." Mulloy picked up the slip of paper and opened it in front of everyone.
Mulloy didn't read out the words on the slip of paper. Instead, he flipped it around and showed it to them.
"Look at the evaluation yourselves."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the wrinkled slip of paper.
The contents of the slip of paper were similar to before. Mulloy's evaluation criteria hadn't changed. He still graded from three dimensions.
"Poem of War" had a technical score of 2.5, deductive score of 1.5, and extra score of 0.8. The total score was 4.8.
Just like before, Gulaimo's shortcomings were in the extra performance.
This was something that even Gulaimo himself acknowledged.
He hadn't prepared well this time. After all, he had been informed at the last minute that he would be participating in the Star Climbing Duel. Not only had he not prepared any easter eggs, he hadn't even been mentally prepared.
Under these circumstances, his technical and deductive scores were still full marks. This was enough to show that he had a very deep foundation.
Gulaimo looked down and continued to read Mulloy's evaluation of Luigi.
"Magnificent Garden" had a technical score of 2.4, deductive score of 1.5, and extra score of 1. The total score was 4.9.
The moment he saw the 4.9, Gulaimo fell into a short silence.
After a long while, he sighed softly with a relieved expression on his face.
On the other side, Luigi also saw that his evaluation had surpassed Gulaimo's. Even though it was only a difference of 0.1 points, it still meant that he had won this Star Climbing Duel!
Even though it was a little tricky, a win was a win!
He had finally completed Main Mission 5.
Just as Luigi's heart was filled with joy, Mulloy's voice suddenly entered his ears.
"Gulaimo, if you have any objections to my evaluation, you can choose to challenge it. I will follow the process of the challenge and suspend the evaluation of victory and defeat. We will enter the challenge phase. "
Luigi suddenly snapped back to reality. That's right. I haven't really won yet. Gulaimo can still challenge it!
At the beginning of the challenge, Mulloy had already said that if either side didn't agree with the final result, they could challenge it. The judges would be stripped of their evaluation, and the final result would be judged by more "spectators".
If Gulaimo chose to challenge Luigi now, the outcome of the challenge would be uncertain.
When they reached the "spectators" stage, the two of them could go on the stage together. With Gulaimo's experience in large-scale stage performances, he could easily crush Luigi.
With that in mind, Luigi's joyful mood instantly vanished. He stared at Gulaimo with glowing eyes.
Not only Luigi, but also Uriel, Mulloy, and the others outside the dungeon were all curious about Gulaimo's choice.
Would Gulaimo accept it or challenge it?
Gulaimo did not hesitate under everyone's gazes. He spoke in a soft voice, "I'm not going to challenge it.
I approve of his performance. "
No matter how much Luigi borrowed outside help, Gulaimo would gladly accept it as long as his performance was as good as it could be.
Besides, Luigi's performance in the second round ended in a draw with Gulaimo without any outside help. This was enough to show that Luigi's skills and ideas had reached the pinnacle of the pyramid.
Since Luigi already stood at such a height, it was not a bad thing to grant him his wish.
Besides, Gulaimo had been carrying the title of "Green Star" for many years. It was a kind of legacy to see someone worthy of it.
Gulaimo looked at Luigi. "From today onwards, the title of" Green Star "is yours. According to the usual practice, I will send a letter to Birmingham's Eden College to report this matter. "
"I hope you live up to the name of" Star "."
Luigi sighed in relief after hearing Gulaimo's words.
At the same time, Luigi saw the notification of a new wonderland.
