**Bridge Stars** is an Ultimate Wizard quest released for the Idol FEVER event for the 4th anniversary of the Taiwanese version of Crash Fever.

After the events of Fanatic Rocker & Etiquettes Voice, the next people planned to go up on stage are Zhuang Zi and Hui Shi. However, Hui Shi refuses to perform, saying that as the leader of the anti-QIN alliance he shouldn't do this sort of thing. Zi Gong gets annoyed at Hui Shi, and Hui Shi responds that they like to sing and dance since that's what they do. He says that, as the person who organizes various groups and people, he can't be seen acting like a dancing monkey. Zi Gong replies that music and dance are part of ethics education, and there is nothing monkey-like about what they do. He then says that, while they may share a common goal regarding QIN, he won't let him insult the Department of Ethics like that. Zeng Zi tries to tell Zi Gong to calm down, and reminds him what Confucius said about being considerate. Zi Gong says he can't tolerate this; while it's okay for Hui Shi to insult him, he won't allow him to insult Confucius' methods.

Nezha notices them fighting, and remarks that disagreements about music is very "rock & roll" like. Sima Qian asks Zhuang Zi if he can talk with Hui Shi and change his mind. Zhuang Zi admits that he can't force Hui Shi to do it, and says that there is no such thing as forced happiness. Ban Chao asks if that really applies to this situation. Ban Zhao asks Fude Zhengshen (TUDI-180526) and Zhongli Quan if they've ever encountered something like this, and what should they do. Fude Zhengshen mentions that she used to perform by herself, and would argue with Lan Caihe about pyrotechnical issues, but Zhongli Quan interrupts to point out that that argument was because what Lan Caihe wanted to do was overkill, and thus quite different from this current situation. Zhongli Quan says that not everyone is like Fude Zhengshen, who volunteered to be on stage because she enjoys it. Fude Zhengshen begins to worry as the next song is supposed to start, but Hui Shi is still reluctant.

Fude Zhengshen asks the adapter what they should do, and Sima Qian suggests that Bi Gan and herself could perform first. Fude Zhengshen admits that their outfits aren't ready yet. The adapter tries to think over what people said in order to figure out what to do, and thinks about what Fude Zhengshen saying that it was really great to perform on stage. The adapter gets an idea, and begins discussing with Fude Zhengshen, Zhongli Quan, and Zhuang Zi. Zhongli Quan is dismayed at what the adapter came up with, and says that they are "smashing a pot just because it's cracked". He points out that if the plan doesn't work, the concert will be a disaster.

Fude Zhengshen asks the adapter if they really think this would work, since Zhuang Zi doesn't really want to do it either. Zhuang Zi interjects to say that, while he has never seen such a performance, he does find it interesting. Fude Zhengshen is surprised by his comment, and Zhongli Quan tells her to keep her voice down. Fude Zhengshen then points out to Zhuang Zi what he said about there being no such thing as forced happiness, while Zhuang Zi explains that he was referring to Zi Gong's argument. He says that while the adapter's solution is risky and a bit deceiving, it is a solution that shows good thinking yet has unknown results, which he finds intriguing. Fude Zhengshen says she thought that Hui Shi would seem to just get mad and wreck the stage, but admits she is willing to go through with the idea. Zhongli Quan says he can't think of a better idea, but declares he isn't responsible if things go poorly.

Zhuang Zi goes over to Hui Shi, who is still arguing with Zi Gong and Zeng Zi. Hui Shi blames the Department of Ethics for causing Confucius to get locked up in the first place, while Zeng Zi responds that they did what they did out of gratitude for the adapter. He states that they aren't greedy and unreasonable, unlike Hui Shi. Zhuang Zi goes behind Hui Shi, and Hui Shi asks if he is trying to give him a massage. Zhuang Zi gently taps the back of Hui Shi's neck, causing him to collapse to the ground, unconscious. Zhuang Zi asks if the props and costumes are ready on the stage, and the adapter gives a thumbs up. Zhuang Zi says it's time to go on stage, and takes Hui Shi with him.

Hui Shi wakes up on stage confused, while the audience is cheering for the performance. He watches as Zhuang Zi does his part of the performance. Partway through he switches to his butler outfit, and continues his odd performance. Hui Shi is shocked that they got Zhuang Zi to perform, and as he sees himself on the big screen he begins to panic a little. But as the audience cheers for him regardless, he gives in and decides to perform alongside Zhuang Zi as the two switch into their outfits. He starts to enjoy the performance.

As the performance comes to an end, Zhuang Zi floats up like a butterfly on the stage, and Hui Shi catches Zhuang Zi to finish the performance. The audience cheers wildly for their performance as they go backstage. Fude Zhengshen tells them they did an amazing job, and she found it very enjoyable herself. Xihai Longwang says she loved it as well, while Donghai Longwang admits it wasn't bad. White Dragon says that they have really good chemistry, and says he would like to try that with Sun Wukong if he ever gets the chance. Nezha says that Sun Wukong's personality makes such a dream hopeless. Nezha compliments the two on their performance, as does Zeng Zi, Zi Gong, Ban Chao, and Ban Zhao. Hui Shi responds that it was nothing, and says that if they were going to do the performance they were going to give it their all. He then says that he didn't want to see Zhuang Zi rocking and shaking his head around during the performance.

Zhuang Zi says he didn't expect Hui Shi to react this well, and thanks the adapter for coming up with the idea. Hui Shi gets mad at the adapter for talking Zhuang Zi into doing this, but Zhuang Zi points out that the performance was fun. Hui Shi then says that the next time the adapter encourages Zhuang Zi into messing around, he's going to kill them.

Fude Zhengshen (TUDI-200526) congratulates them, and invites them back to the lounge to recover. Zhongli Quan praises the adapter for turning a tricky situation into a resounding success, and says that they are an amazing idol manager. Fude 180526 says that even she wants the adapter to be her manager. She then remembers that the performers for the next song need to get ready. As she goes to look to see what the next song is, and asks where Bi Gan has gone. Bi Gan arrives and says that she has finished her magical stage transformation wand.

Suddenly, a system notification is heard, and something pops up on the screen. The message from the system says that an additional training condition has been added: they need to give the audience a performance of a lifetime.

The story is continued in Serendipitous Voice & Star Wish Memories.

* **Fude's Thoughts:** I was touched by their performance! Even Fude Chan is now a fan. That final embrace even had the audience cheering out loud!
* **Zhongli Quan's Comments:** I rarely watch male idols, so I was surprised. He was able to keep cool and save the performance. I can't wait to see him again!
