Chapter 11 Musical Talent
Back home, Bai Li tallied up her gains from the cruise.
Meeting in person makes it easier to increase favorability.
First, Xiao Hao's favorability rating with the three target members of the opposite sex reached 20 points or more, and he was finally able to level up.
Xiao Hao happily exclaimed, "Host, we now have a daily quota of 100 million! We're amazing!"
Secondly, there's the 40-round Omnidirectional Wheel lottery.
We'll keep the white pears for later.
Surely you'll get a gold item after forty tries!
Bai Li clasped her hands together and said, "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits!"
Unfortunately, I didn't get any gold in the first thirty attempts.
There are only a few scattered attribute points.
Most of the attribute points are still in the [Health] category.
Bai Li: ...
"Just how unhealthy am I?" Bai Li complained, but still used up all her [Health] attribute points.
If the previous "health" treatment removed all the lesions and excess fat from Bai Li's body, then this time it's like giving Bai Li a "rejuvenation" treatment all over her body.
Her eyesight became incredibly good; she could see things very far away very clearly. Her hair was jet black and smooth, her teeth were straight and white, and her nails were shiny.
Bai Li believes that if she went to a traditional Chinese medicine doctor now, she would be showered with praise.
In an instant, all her organs returned to their original state, and Bai Li now felt full of energy, able to run 800 meters four or five times without any problem.
Health is so important. What's the use of having a lot of money if you don't have the life to enjoy it?
Bai Li: "The Wanxiang Wheel is such a great product, five stars!"
Xiao Hao said unhappily, "What about me?"
Bai Li coaxed him very skillfully: "My little Hao baby deserves a perfect ten-star rating!"
Wheel of Fortune: ?
Only one more 10 pulls left.
When she smoked, Shirai nervously closed her eyes.
All that could be heard was Xiao Hao's exclamation of "Wow!"
Could it be?
Bai Li opened her eyes.
The Wheel of Myriad Forms burst forth with golden light.
"Withdrawal successful!"
—SSR Gold Attribute [Music Pro]
Xiao Hao explained, "This is a skill-based entry. With this entry, you can unlock your musical talent. It's not just about being able to play and sing, but also about being able to write lyrics and compose music. You can master it effortlessly and become a master without any learning."
Bai Li curiously brought the entry.
Although she loves listening to music, she is tone-deaf.
When she was little, during music class, the teacher thought she was pretty, so she was asked to step forward and stand at the front with a triangle ruler to keep time for the other students.
But after a short while, the teacher smiled reluctantly and asked her to return to the team.
"Bai Li did a great job, and we also gave other students a chance to clap along."
She later managed to get into the school choir through her own efforts.
It's not the singer, it's the one standing in front directing, who only needs to wave their arms and make gestures.
Bai Li thought she sang quite well, but everyone around her said she was off-key. Later, she realized that she was actually tone-deaf.
But tone-deaf people don't know whether their singing sounds good or bad.
I originally wanted to find Shi Shui to test my current singing level, but thinking about Shi Shui's personality, I figured that no matter how badly I sang, Shi Shui would still say it sounded good.
After thinking about it, Bai Li decided to go live on the streaming app.
She remembered seeing those live stream rooms where you could connect with other users before.
The host will evaluate the vocal quality and singing ability of the viewers who come on the microphone.
Bai Li successfully found a live stream by searching for keywords; there were only a few dozen people in the live stream.
The screen displays:
A light board for sound testing
Three light sticks singing test
A pair of sunglasses allows you to cut in line.
Only a few people were talking in the public chat.
Liu Sanjie: Mountain Spirit Teacher? How did you end up in this line of work?
Manny: A fan club is enough to get on the microphone, teacher, are you doing charity?
Xia Chanzhixue: Poor old mountain spirit, unwilling to accept wheat bran, has fallen to this state.
The mountain spirit's voice was hoarse: "Hey, you're still chatting in my public chat. Is nobody going to come on mic?"
Mountain ghost?
Bai Li only then noticed the streamer's name.
Very familiar name.
It seems to be a somewhat famous online singer from a few years ago, but the voice is slightly different.
After sending a gift to a fan group, Bai Li went on the microphone: "Hello? Can you hear me?"
"That's good," Mountain Ghost exclaimed. "Finally, someone's on the mic."
Seemingly noticing Bai Li's level of wealth: "Wow, she's a rich woman, Miss Rich Woman, what's your name?"
Bai Li has always used her real name when going online.
"Just call me Bai Li."
The mountain spirit chuckled softly twice, the deep bass making Bai Li's ears itch.
"Okay, Miss Bai Li, your voice is a standard girl's voice, very clean and clear, without any noise, which is suitable for singing sweet songs."
"Your voice is quite malleable. If this is your normal speaking voice, you can try adding more chest resonance to make it less resonant. With more practice, it will sound great when singing ballads."
They're quite professional.
Bai Li sent two more light sticks to her fans: "I want you to hear another song."
Mountain Spirit: "No problem, sing it."
Bai Li nervously swallowed and picked a familiar pop song.
The melody of the pop song is simple, with the main rhythm types being quarter notes and second notes. There are no syncopation or difficult triplets, and the range is all within an octave, so it shouldn't be a disaster.
Wait, what was that piece of knowledge that just flashed through my mind?
Before Bai Li could think too much, the intro to the song ended, and she hit the beat perfectly.
For her, a song is no longer just a song, but is broken down into individual notes, with every nuance and cadence under Bai Li's control.
With a clear mind, Bai Li finished singing a song. The rhythm of the song was really simple, and Bai Li could even write down the melody of the song from memory.
The mountain spirit simply asked, "Bai Li, you've studied vocal music, haven't you?"
Bai Li didn't know how to explain her situation. Although she hadn't studied it, she knew it all.
Bai Li: "...I guess so."
Mountain Spirit: "No wonder. Your pitch and rhythm are very good, and you have a good grasp of the whole song. However, this song is a bit too easy for you. You can try a more difficult song."
Bai Li was overjoyed to receive praise for her singing for the first time in her life.
Bai Li: "Thank you, Teacher Shan Gui, you're very professional!"
After leaving the microphone, Bai Li promptly gifted Shan Gui a Carnival "hardship fee".
Mountain Ghost's jaw nearly dropped: "Thank you, Bai Li, for the carnival! Wait, Bai Li! Don't go!"
Where did this female bodhisattva come from?
I'm currently taking care of my voice, so I can't do live singing broadcasts anymore. I can only do talk shows and other programs.
Today was my first time trying to do an audition program, and I didn't expect to attract a rich woman right away.
Shan Gui isn't a newbie to live streaming. Bai Li casually threw out a carnival. You couldn't find such a capable and generous older sister even with a lantern. It would be a fool not to protect her and keep her around.
Mountain Spirit cleared his throat twice: "Sister Baili, today's program is just something I did casually. I'm not a professional sound engineer either. I really don't deserve your generous gift. I'll sing one of my best songs, and I hope Sister Baili will like it."
The mountain spirit's voice was no longer as lazy and listless as before.
LeeJ: Wow, that rich woman is so generous!
Manny: This show really makes money? Teacher Shan Gui is doing well too.
Xia Chanzhixue: You rascal, who are you telling this to?
C-Ball King: Haha, I've never seen anything like this before. Look at this old mountain spirit spreading its tail feathers!
A deep bass voice sings sweet songs.
Who can stand this?
As soon as she started singing, Bai Li recognized Shan Gui, who was a somewhat famous online singer before, because his singing style and tone were exactly the same, only his voice had become deeper.
Although the voice has become deeper, it is still pleasant to listen to, and because it is deeper, it has a more charming quality.
Bai Li felt a burst of inspiration; if the mountain spirit sang this kind of song... that kind of song, it would sound really good.
A series of unfamiliar melodies, yet perfectly suited to the mountain spirit's voice, burst forth in my mind.
Is this the gold-level entry for "[Music Expert]"?
He turned a tone-deaf person into a musical genius.
Bai Li thought that Shan Gui's singing skills were really good, no less than those of professional singers, and casually watched a few more Carnival videos.
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability +5]
[Mountain Spirit's Favorability: 5]
Why is the affection level being displayed? Could it be that the Mountain Spirit is a suitable opposite-sex character?
Bai Li was stunned: "Xiao Hao?"
Xiao Hao chuckled, "Sorry, host, I want to see when you'll figure it out yourself."
Xiao Hao: "Congratulations, host, on discovering a rewardable target for the first time through your own efforts. The Mountain Spirit has an appearance score of 85."
Sometimes I really want to discipline those naughty kids.
Because she couldn't give tips to members of the opposite sex whose looks were below 80, Bai Li used all her own money for the Mountain Spirit's carnival.
If she hadn't known, it would have been fine, but now that she does, Bai Li is starting to feel the pinch. Her daily limit is 100 million, and she's wondering where to use it!
After finishing her song, the mountain spirit smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you for the gift, Sister Bai Li. Sister Bai Li, are you going to live with Gui Gui?"
LeeJ: A real rich woman has appeared, please adopt our Gui Gui!
Xia Chanzhixue: I actually managed to get the Mountain Spirit to use my love ticket.
Bai Li Jian Xue: I've heard you sing before.
Bai Lijianxue: I remember you sang "Whataya Want from Me" very well.
"Whataya Want From Me" is a song performed by American singer Adam Lambert. The song has a very large difference between high and low notes, with the highest note reaching E5, which is quite difficult for male singers, but Shan Gui was able to perfectly replicate it back then.
The mountain spirit exclaimed in surprise, "They're still my old listeners, but those are all ancient history. My voice isn't what it used to be, so I'll sing something else for Sister Bai Li?"
Bai Li Jian Xue: Oh, I see. It's alright, you can sing whatever you want.
While the mountain spirit was singing, the fans in the public chat spontaneously started to explain things to Bai Li.
The mountain spirit was indeed very talented, but later he ended up working at a nightclub.
When nightclubs were just starting out, they needed someone to run the stage. Back then, Shan Gui would sing for eight to ten hours a day.
Overusing your voice, singing difficult songs, and not giving your voice time to rest can damage your voice.
Later, as the karaoke industry developed, they discovered the secret to generating buzz and began heavily promoting male-male couples.
Those who sing well don't get much attention, while those who sing only averagely become incredibly popular when they're paired up with other people.
The karaoke bar tried to find a few partners for the mountain ghost, but he couldn't learn the tricks.
She wanted to exchange gifts with men, hold hands and film videos, and celebrate her birthday in a hotel room.
In the words of the mountain spirit, it was like being scratched all over.
Bai Li Jian Xue: So, is the Mountain Spirit no longer in the karaoke bar?
LeeJ: Just retired. Our ghost singers are really good, Bai Li sister shouldn't miss out T T
It's quite sad that the person who was instrumental in opening the show has fallen to this state, with only a few dozen people in the live stream, even though their singing skills are so amazing.
No wonder I kept clearing my throat; it really wasn't feeling well.
When the song ended, the Mountain Spirit saw the discussion on the public screen.
He took a sip of water and cleared his throat again: "I don't need to do any more vocal exercises now; my throat is already recovering."
Bai Li couldn't bear to see talented people go unnoticed, so she used her daily credit to participate in several carnivals, earning back the money she had just spent.
Bai Li Jian Xue: No need to sing anymore, take good care of your voice.
Bai Li Jian Xue: Can I learn to sing from Teacher Shan Gui?
The mountain spirit realized what was happening and laughed heartily: "Hahaha, so that was tuition? No problem, Bai Li."
Having successfully obtained the Mountain Spirit's WeChat ID, Bai Li felt that she was now incredibly skilled at it.
After chatting with the mountain spirit for a while, Bai Li began to check the other R-class prizes she had won.
Based on the luxury cruise ticket I won last time, there are some pretty good items in the R category.
As Bai Li watched, she seriously doubted the logic behind the prizes drawn from the Wheel of Fortune.
For example, when I was in poor health before, the attribute points I drew were all related to [Health]. But this time, after drawing the golden attribute [Music Pro], most of the prizes were related to music.
The equipment is complete, including various musical instruments, as well as sound cards and various plugins whose brands Bai Li cannot understand.
Bai Li sent the equipment list to Shan Gui, making Shan Gui's mouth water.
Mountain Ghost: Sister Bai, where did you get this equipment? This is equipment only found in professional recording studios.
These all look like good stuff, but they're all large pieces of equipment, and her rented apartment really can't hold them all!
She was already looking for a house, but hadn't found one she liked.
First, she wanted to solve the problem once and for all, and didn't want to move again in the future, so renting a place was out of the question.
New homes take a long time to be handed over, so I can only look at second-hand homes, but I haven't found one that suits my taste.
Fortunately, Wanxiang Lun understood her pain and directly gave her a property certificate.
Bai Li immediately redeemed the green booklet.
Property owner: Bai Li.
Property Address: Huangpu District, Shanghai...
Okay, as soon as the name "Huangpu District of Shanghai" appeared, Bai Li knew that this game was probably a sure thing.
In Shanghai, land is incredibly valuable, and as long as there are people, housing prices will never be low, not to mention Huangpu District, which is located in the very center, where prices can easily reach tens of thousands of yuan per square meter.
Moreover, the property certificate shows that it is a full 400 square meters.
Wait a minute, a small villa in the center of Shanghai.
Wanxiang Wheel, I knew you were the best!
Bai Li quickly contacted the landlord and said the lease would end tomorrow.
