Chapter Eleven Success Does Not Come Easily

  The text above says that Xiao Ge finally started his first training, which is the basic singer training. He followed the system's strong Han and learned to open his voice, finding it easy to grasp, and couldn't help but feel a sense of "singing is nothing more than this" disdain.

  Although he was still practicing with a board and eyes, he didn't realize that he had actually lost the sense of urgency he had at the beginning, completely relaxing and becoming somewhat absent-minded.

  "Alright, no more practice!" The system suddenly stopped playing the piano and leading the consecutive sounds. He turned around to look at Tang Xiao Xuan, who was still standing there with his mouth agape, looking bewildered. In a flat tone, he said: "Now, the system is releasing a zero-hour task. You must sing a complete song. If you fail, your physical transformation will be delayed by one month. Choose the song yourself."

  What's going on again? Xiao Shuai thinks he's a tragedy, how can he be doing well and then come up with another task? Is he going to go crazy again?

  "You have one minute of preparation time!" The system reminded expressionlessly.

  What's the big deal about singing a song? I can sing dozens of songs! Who's afraid of who? Tang Xiao thought to himself, turning his mind to think about whose song he should sing. In recent years, he basically hasn't listened to new songs, and the ones he knows are some classic hits from older singers like Liu Tianwang, Zhang Tianwang, and Zhou Huajian. In the end, he decided to choose "Forget Love Water" because the lyrics were relatively simple, and it was one of the few songs whose lyrics he had memorized completely, and he felt confident that he sang it well.

  "Let's get started, I'm ready!" Not even waiting for the time, Xiao Sa Ge had already shouted out, he felt it was necessary to show off a bit and also to strike down the system's arrogant attitude, so that the damned thing wouldn't always bully people.

  "As you wish~" The system's voice had just reached his ears when Tang Xiao felt his vision go black, and before he could even adjust, he suddenly felt himself in a completely new environment. A deafening, earth-shattering, and chaotic wave of sound suddenly crashed down on him...

  What is this?

  "Free and easy, free and easy I love you~"

  "Tang Xiao Sa, I love you to death~~ Wuuu......"

  "Xiao Sao Ge, I must marry you!"

  "Free and easy for all eternity, free and easy is invincible, we are all members of the Free and Easy Gang!"

  …………

  Innumerable cheers, applause and even cries of support made Tang Xiao Xue, who was already trembling with excitement, suddenly go weak in the knees and collapse onto the floor made entirely of tempered glass that was both transparent and incredibly smooth.

  A spotlight on the stage lit up at this moment, and it happened to shine on Xiao Sa Ge, who was trembling uncontrollably on the ground. He was wearing a black windbreaker on top and black trousers on the bottom, with a pair of shiny leather shoes on his feet.

  The whole stadium suddenly fell silent, and just as Tang Xiao was struggling to get up...

  "Hahaha... Is this the so-called new king Tang Xiao?!" A middle-aged man with a big beard and yellow teeth let out a loud hiss: "Hiss... Get down here! I knew you were just a piece of crap, how dare you hold a 10,000-people super concert... Haha... You're just a pile of shit..."

  "Xiao Sao Ge, you're not like this, how can you be so inconsistent now? Is it really just a publicity stunt? My first idol......" A pure and beautiful ponytail girl suddenly burst into loud sobs, then suddenly got up covering her mouth and walked out of the scene.

  "Damn it, I told you I wasn't coming, but you still dragged me here. What a waste of my 1200!" A young man with a flat head and dragon tattoos on his shoulders suddenly burst into a rage: "This kind of trash that can't even stand steadily on stage dares to call itself the new king? Then isn't that making me more awesome than Jay Chou?! Get out, from now on whoever mentions him again will get their ass cut off by me..." He stormed off in anger...

  …………

  The originally packed venue is now in a mess, at least half of the people have left, and while leaving, they are still scolding and swearing, vowing never to mention the name Tang Xiao again. As for those who remain, it's not that they don't want to leave, but rather they don't want to squeeze with others, so they're waiting for everyone else to leave before they do.

  What the f**k is going on here?! Xiao Shuai has already gone crazy with rage, he never expected that his temporary task would be such a ridiculous scene, now being scolded by at least tens of thousands of people, completely losing face. If in reality a singer encountered this kind of situation, they'd probably die from shame on the spot, even if they didn't die then and there, they'd likely never have the face to continue struggling in the entertainment circle again.

  As the crowd dispersed, the scene finally "calmed" down. At this time, Xiao Sa Ge, who had slightly calmed down, stood in the center of the brightly lit stage and looked around, only to see that there were less than 2,000 people left on the empty stage, which was a stark contrast to the packed scene earlier. But what made Xiao Sa Ge feel a bit better was that these people were basically all holding their own photo-made cheering signs. Cough, actually, there were more on the ground, and many had been torn to shreds or trampled and damaged.

  It seems that only my "loyal fans" are left? Xiao Shuai's heart suddenly ignited an inexplicable feeling, and now he only feels a slight swelling in the corners of his eyes and a sour nose. I didn't expect to have "fans" too?

  Even for you, I must sing, sing loudly and clearly! As this thought flashed through his mind, he muttered to himself: I want to sing Liu Dehua's "Today"!

  A familiar and pleasant prelude immediately sounded, and Xiao Sa Ge, who had nothing in his hand just now, held a wireless microphone and closed his eyes. At a certain rhythm point, he sang with abandon:

  As I walk through the years, I realize how imperfect the world is. Success or failure both have some illusions.

  The vastness of the ocean and the depth of the rivers can only be known by those who are in it.

  ……

  Even now standing on stage can't help but feel nervous

  If you want to fly high, forget about the horizon.

  ……

  Waited for a long time and finally arrived today, dreamed of it for a long time and finally made the dream come true, tired but won't say tired.

  It wasn't until he had experienced love that he realized how heavy emotions could be. Tang Xiao didn't even know how he managed to finish singing, nor did he care if he was off-key or not. In fact, he didn't even care if he had completed his task. Because he knew that the commotion earlier had already served as a wake-up call for him - that he was still far from being a true superstar.

  To say nothing of the others, just his mental quality is far, far away from those effortlessly brilliant stars. And then there's tone, singing style, and control over the stage, all of which are on a completely different level.

  "Congratulations on completing your first concert in life, and successfully completing the zero-time task of this system's first release. You can gain a chance to participate in this system's exceptional fame plan." The system suddenly appeared in front of Tang Xiao, stretched out his right thumb and said: "At the same time, congratulations on grasping another characteristic of successful people: being able to find the gap between yourself and the leader and clearly planning to catch up."

  "There's no luck for the successful!" Tang Xiao Sa gave a thumbs up to himself, but didn't show any extra excitement. He just replied and fell silent. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "What was that 'breaking the example to become famous' plan you mentioned earlier?"

  "It's very simple, create a super classic song with this system and record it by yourself within the system, then directly upload it to various national music charts and radio stations' internal song selection computers... You can quickly become a superstar with just one song!" The system said solemnly.

  Do I really need to resort to such dirty means to succeed? Xiao Shuai lowered his head in silence, if it were before the concert, he would have agreed a thousand times. But now he was no longer the same person as ten minutes ago.

  If I have such a good training system and still want to reap the benefits without putting in any effort, am I still a man?

  A moment later, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the muscular system with excitement and confidence: "I don't need this method, it won't be long before I become a star through my own efforts!"

  "Don't you regret it?" the system asked solemnly.

  "Regret is not a man!" Tang Xiao's firm and determined nod.

  "You're doing great!" The system's robust voice revealed a heartfelt smile: "Your target difficulty is 5!"

  "This is the reward!" Xiao Sa Ge also burst out laughing: "Haha, okay, I don't want to waste any more time, let's continue practicing!"

  PS: I personally think that even the system can't be too against the heavens. If it's possible to improve physical abilities through energy, then other things shouldn't be easily transformed either, or else there would be no way to write stories. At most, a million words would just make someone the world's best actor + song god. Hope everyone is satisfied~!
