Protagonist:

Lu Feng

The audience below the stage instantly fell silent, one after another pulling out their mobile phones and aiming them at Lu Feng on stage.

Judging by the looks of it, this young man who appears a bit nervous is actually a High Hand.

He even brought an original song?

"Cough, cough."

Lu Feng cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and scanned the dark mass of the crowd below the stage.

Recalling that he had even refused Boss Qian's three-million-yuan annual salary without changing expression, this bit of a scene didn't seem to count for much.

Thinking it through like this, the nervousness in his heart vanished at once.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself."

Lu Feng gripped the microphone and said a sentence with a calm gaze.

The host young man stood to the side, his eyes full of anticipation.

Daring to sing an original song in a public setting, plus that indescribable aura on Lu Feng.

He believed that what followed would surely be a stunning song.

Lu Feng brought the microphone to his mouth, adjusted the distance, then opened his mouth with a face full of seriousness.

"Invincibility is how, how lonely——"

This song was an insert song from a movie Lu Feng loved most in his previous life; it had not appeared yet after his rebirth.

Since no one had heard this song yet, Lu Feng took it to pass off as his own creation.

The moment the first line of lyrics came out, the expression on the host's face froze.

These lyrics sound rather... arrogant.

But sung in one breath by Lu Feng, one somehow feels every word is off-key.

This melody... is really hard to make one feel this is a song.

Even if Lu Feng recited these few words like reading a text, it would sound better than his singing.

The audience below probably thought much the same as the host; a burst of raucous laughter immediately rang out.

Lu Feng, however, didn't notice in the slightest; he had already immersed himself in the state of singing.

"Invincibility is how, how empty——"

After the second line was sung, the laughter below became even more obvious.

Even the host couldn't help furrowing his brow, his heart even regretting letting Lu Feng on stage.

The lyrics make one feel an urge to hit someone, plus Lu Feng's dead-serious expression and limb movements stiff as a robot.

That scene is simply hard to watch straight on.

The ears also can't bear the burden.

"Alone at the peak, the cold wind blows without cease......"

Lu Feng was singing with eyes closed, face full of absorption, when he suddenly felt the topic in his hand snatched away by someone.

"Alright! Thank you very much for this gentleman's participation!"

The host young man could listen no longer; he grabbed the Bluetooth Earphone Gift Box beside him, rushed the stage, snatched the microphone from Lu Feng's hand, shoved the gift box into Lu Feng's hand, and announced loudly to the audience below with a beaming smile.

"Let us congratulate this gentleman on successfully winning our first lucky gift today!"

Sparse, scattered applause rang out below; quite a few people were still snickering secretly.

Lu Feng held the gift box, his face still a bit bewildered.

He was singing deeply immersed just now, hadn't sung his fill, how was he suddenly interrupted?

Right then, a familiar electronic sound suddenly came from his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing Sign-in Task, unlocking Recipe: Full-Level Tea Egg Technique.】

Hearing the system notification of sign-in completion, Lu Feng's eyes instantly brightened.

Immediately after, he felt it a bit strange, and doubt rose in his heart again.

The song wasn't finished, yet the task completed?

Lu Feng looked at the Bluetooth Earphone Gift Box in his hand, then sensed the Full-Level Tea Egg Technique that had just surged into his mind.

He couldn't help nodding in satisfaction.

No matter how you put it, the gift is in hand, and the System Reward's verdict has been obtained.

This outcome is still quite perfect.

Lu Feng couldn't help suspecting: Could it be that his singing was actually not bad, and the host worried he would steal the show, so he interrupted him and ended it early?

He recalled the scene of his singing just now, and felt his voice was indeed clear and bright, his emotion sufficiently sincere.

It's just that it ended right as he was getting into the feel, truly a bit of a pity.

Lu Feng held the gift box, about to leave the stage, when he suddenly thought of something.

"Right, host, weren't there still three questions? How come you didn't ask?"

He looked at the host young man and asked with a serious face.

Lu Feng has always valued rules greatly, just like he requires diners to follow the rules in his own Shop.

The interaction game process set by others, he also felt should be completed properly.

The smile on the host's face was a bit stiff; the muscles at the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

He hurriedly put down the microphone and leaned close to Lu Feng's ear, speaking softly.

"That... doesn't matter anymore. You being able to participate in our interactive game, we already feel very... honored. In any case, congratulations on completing the mission."

"How can that do?"

Lu Feng frowned and subconsciously swept a glance at the audience below: "What if other audience members feel it's unfair? They'll have opinions..."

He hadn't finished speaking when his gaze swept over the audience below, and he couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

The area around the stage that had been packed with onlookers just now had actually emptied by half.

Lu Feng pondered for two seconds and quickly figured it out.

So that's it. Those who left definitely understood the deep meaning in the lyrics just now.

The realm expressed in the lyrics isn't something just anyone can fully comprehend on the spot, so they went back to savor it carefully.

Thinking this way, he nodded somewhat gratified.

This song that had once exploded in popularity in his previous life, brought over now, truly is a dimensionality reduction strike.

This isn't something those shallow pop music can compare to.

Lu Feng waved at the remaining audience below, a relaxed smile on his face, and walked down the stage with light steps.

The young male host on stage watched his departing back, and the smile on his face fell.

This person had only sung less than three lines after coming up, and a small half of the audience below ran off.

If he were allowed to sing the whole song, wouldn't the audience run off completely?

The host lowered his head to glance at the sparse crowd below, secretly wiping the corner of his eye.

Such hard-won popularity...

On the other side, in a certain high-end residential complex in Jingcheng.

In his home study, An Liang wore a pair of glasses and typed at the computer with a serious face.

Ever since returning from Jiangcheng last weekend, he had been staying at home.

The several invitations to taste dishes at Jingcheng restaurants he'd received recently were all refused by him.

The mobile phone on the table buzzed and vibrated. An Liang frowned; he disliked being disturbed while working.

But the name lighting up the screen was Assistant Xiao Yue's, and An Liang still answered.

"Mr. An Liang, are you busy?"

Assistant Xiao Yue's voice came from the other end of the phone, carrying a few degrees of careful trepidation.

"What is it? Speak."

An Liang turned on the phone's speaker function, his tone somewhat impatient, continuing to type on the computer while speaking.

"Tonight there's a restaurant in City South that needs you to go taste dishes."

Xiao Yue flipped through the schedule in her notebook and said over the phone.

"Jingcheng's?"

An Liang stopped typing, frowned, and said casually: "Refuse it. No appetite recently. Talk again after a while."

"But..."

Xiao Yue's voice hesitated a bit: "That restaurant was booked a month ago. At the time, you personally agreed. If we refuse now, would it be a bit..."
