Chapter 84 A Lullaby for Sleep!
Having made up his mind, Jiang Bai turned his attention to the system store.
At this moment, a striking red banner was displayed on the system panel:
[Song redemption, limited time offer: 0.1% off (1% of the original price)!]
This was his reward for entering the national talent show competition "The Voice of China".
"One percent of the price..."
Jiang Bai's mouth was practically watering as he looked at the discount.
Songs that originally cost millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars now only cost tens of thousands or thousands of dollars.
What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?
"Buy, buy, buy!"
Jiang Bai rubbed his hands together and opened the [Song Library].
If you're going to choose a song, you should choose one that suits you best.
"Furthermore, according to the system's requirements, those who cross-dress to appear on The Voice of China must choose songs sung by female singers."
Jiang Bai thought for a moment.
His current "basic singing skills" are equivalent to those of a top student in a vocal music department.
Go participate in a national competition and compete with those professional singers?
That's just asking for trouble.
"If you want to outshine those top artists and grab the audience's attention, sweet songs are the best choice!"
Jiang Bai's thinking was very clear:
"Although my singing skills are not good, the system instilled a lot of sweet singing techniques and muscle memory in me in order to complete the task of 'Love You'."
"It's like a max-level character's skill pack."
"As long as I continue to sing sweet songs, I can apply these techniques to make up for any shortcomings in my singing skills and create a perfect stage performance!"
"As for top-tier songs..."
Jiang Bai glanced at the books: "Red Bean," "Legend," and "Silence."
It sounds nice, but it's too difficult.
At his current level, forcing himself to sing would only result in a train wreck.
Even if you manage to sing it successfully, it won't attract much attention.
Simply put, rudimentary singing skills can drag down the quality of some top-notch songs.
"I want sweet songs! Sweet little songs!"
Jiang Bai entered the following keywords into the search bar: 【sweet】, 【light】, 【healing】.
slam-la-
A whole list of songs popped up.
The prices are incredibly cheap.
A song that originally had five million views and was a top-tier hit is now only 50,000.
A song that was originally popular with 100,000 people is now only 1,000!
It has to be said that this reward was practically tailor-made for a poor guy like him.
Those once unattainable classic songs are now all heavily discounted.
Jiang Bai's gaze swept quickly across the room, eventually settling on a song with an extremely high cost-performance ratio.
Original price 200,000, now 2,000!
"That's it!"
Jiang Bai was thinking to himself:
"This song has a simple and sweet melody, but it's not as outstanding or explosive as 'Love You' or those superstar songs."
"This is perfect for someone like me who only has basic singing skills."
"It allows one to get through the blind auditions and gain a lot of popularity without becoming too famous and having netizens dig up all their secrets."
"This is called—the Doctrine of the Mean, the supreme principle of moderation!"
Having made up his mind, Jiang Bai stretched out his finger, ready to click the "Buy" button.
Just then.
A familiar, seductive mechanical voice echoed in my mind.
[Ding! Random quest triggered!]
[Task Name: Lullaby]
[Task Description: As a future all-around film queen, your singing voice should have the power to heal hearts.]
[Task Requirements: Please wear a forest-themed ethereal goddess outfit and sing the song "Baby" (Zhang Xuan version) on the blind audition stage of "The Voice of China".]
[Task Assistance: Related songs and singing techniques, advanced guitar playing techniques, guitar*1, Forest-themed outfit*1]
[Task Rewards:]
[1. Full copyright of the song "Baby".]
2. Intermediate dance level.
Jiang Bai's finger hovered in mid-air, stunned.
""baby"?"
"You mean that song..."
The melody and lyrics instantly flashed into his mind:
Yay! Yay! Yay!
My darling baby~
Here's something sweet for you~ so you can sleep soundly tonight~
boom!
Jiang Bai shuddered, goosebumps spreading all over his body like popcorn.
"this……"
"This is just too damn embarrassing!"
"Tongzi, are you crazy?"
"I'm a man! A real man! A guy with a penis!"
"You want me to sing 'My Baby, My Darling, Here's a Little Sweetness'?"
"This is just too embarrassing! That tone of voice, like you're coaxing a child, those saccharine lyrics..."
"Don't I have any pride?"
"I'm going to be a singing champion, not a kindergarten teacher!"
"Besides, I didn't intend to be so high-profile; I just wanted to make a brief appearance!"
Jiang Bai looked disgusted, his attitude resolute:
"I won't sing! Absolutely not! I'd rather die than sing!"
"I'll buy that song with 2000 points, it's great!"
The system remained silent for a second.
It appears to be assessing the level of resistance from the host.
Followed by.
A colder, yet more alluring voice rang out again:
[Ding! Host resistance detected.]
[Mission rewards upgraded!]
[Additional bonus: 1,000,000 RMB (after tax) in cash.]
"..."
Jiang Bai's hand, which was about to click "Buy," froze instantly.
His eyes widened, and his breath caught in his throat.
"How much...?"
"One million?!"
"Is it after tax?"
Jiang Bai felt as if an invisible hand had squeezed his heart hard.
One million!
That's enough to buy so many kilograms of pork ribs!
Although he now has a net worth of over a million, there's never too much!
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, and his straight back instantly went limp.
What's this "Yay da da da"?
What's with the "splashing" sound?
That's all art! It's healing! It's a soothing melody for the human soul!
The look of disgust on his face melted away like snow meeting the warm sun, replaced by a deep and thoughtful expression.
Actually...
"On the other hand..."
"I've already sung 'Love You,' so what's one more song like 'Baby'?"
There's nothing wrong with choosing this song.
"Not only can I save those two thousand popularity points, but the system will also give me the copyright for free, and I can also get one million in cash."
"Most importantly..."
Jiang Bai rubbed his temples, which were throbbing from the sun exposure during military training, and found a perfect excuse for himself:
"These past few days I've been under a lot of pressure, both from military training and writing a book, so my sleep quality has been poor and I'm starting to feel a bit neurasthenic."
"This song, 'Baby,' has a beautiful melody and heartwarming lyrics, and is full of comforting power."
"This is practically a lullaby tailor-made for me!"
"Do I sing this song for money?"
"No! I'm doing this to heal myself! To help me sleep well tonight!"
"Incidentally, it can also soothe the hearts of viewers across the country."
Jiang Bai nodded righteously:
"OK!"
"Since you're so sincere, I'll reluctantly accept!"
"Isn't it just 'giving you a little something sweet'?"
"As long as the money is right, I'd give you anything, not just a little, but a whole ton!"
