The longed-for village system

Chapter 235 Chen Qing's Solo Concert
Perhaps Heaven couldn't stand Chen Qing's smugness any longer! Chen Qing fell for the trap twice in a row. After choosing Truth or Dare again, he had no choice but to be assigned Dare for the third time.

"Brother Chen, this is the fans' wish, you won't refuse, will you!"

Yang Xiaomi directly used the fans in the live stream to shut Chen Qing up. After hearing so many honest words, they also wanted to see Chen Qing's big adventure.

"Come on! What do you want me to do?"

Chen Qing said he wasn't afraid of either Truth or Dare. In the live stream, they wouldn't make any unreasonable demands, at most like carrying someone on his back to do push-ups or doing squats in a princess carry, which was a piece of cake for him.

"OK! The fans' task is: please have Brother Chen drink a whole plate of beer in one go."

"Are you guys crazy?!" Upon hearing Liu Shishi's task, Chen Qing immediately stood up and refused to do it. She picked up the plate of food next to her and confronted the live stream, "Are you trying to kill me? This plate would take at least seven or eight bottles to fill. Are you punishing me or trying to embarrass me?"

Sure enough, Chen Qing had guessed everyone's thoughts perfectly. Their goal was to get Chen Qing drunk. You know, the last time Chen Qing got drunk, it caused a huge sensation, and he dominated the top five trending topics.

They still remember their flamboyant and silly way of writing poetry and singing!
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Chen. We just want to see your amazing performance when you're drunk."

"That's right! You only really come alive when you're drunk, Brother Chen. We've been looking forward to this day for so long."

"That's right, Brother Chen, you absolutely can't run away this time. Consider it a bonus!"

"Yes! Brother Chen, we've had it so tough. We can't even buy a proper album, and the only way we can see you is through the show 'Longing for Life.' It's so hard for us."

The fans in the live stream started to play the victim, and they even cried for Chen Qing to see if he could see them.

Chen Qing felt a little embarrassed by his fans' attempts to elicit sympathy. He couldn't help it because the system was too restrictive and his chances of leaving the village were too rare. As a result, he still hadn't recorded a single song to date, and he really felt quite indebted to them.

"You just want to hear me sing, right? Then you don't need to get me drunk! If you want to hear me sing, then we'll stay up all night!"

When Chen Qing turned around and ran into the house to get an electronic keyboard, guitar and other musical instruments, the fans in the live broadcast room went crazy. They didn't expect Chen Qing to agree so readily, and from what he said, it didn't just mean he would sing one or two songs, but that he would sing to his heart's content.

So what were they waiting for? Everyone took out their phones and started contacting their friends. Some people even skipped meals to watch Chen Qing sing. Young men and women on dates also stopped their plans and took out their phones to watch the live stream.

Even some literature enthusiasts and scholars entered Chen Qing's live broadcast room immediately. If Chen Qing could hear the poems he recited as he did last time, it would be a pleasure for them.

At the Beijing-based Douyin company, everyone gasped as they watched the live streams surpass 3000 million viewers and rapidly approach 4000 million. The growth rate was astonishing.

"General Manager, this is no good! At this rate, our remaining servers can only last another half hour at most, maybe even less." "You all have to hold on no matter what. If we succeed in tripling everyone's bonus this month, I'll contact someone right now to adjust the servers."

Success or failure hinges on tonight. At this rate, it wouldn't be difficult for the number of viewers in the live stream to break 5000 million or even 6000 million. This is an opportunity for their company.

Chen Qing was unaware of the busy work at D-Music Company. With the help of Ya Ya, Shi Shi, and the other girls, Chen Qing took out all the instruments and put them in place. They also moved the table in the living room, and a small concert stage was born.

Ya Ya, Shi Shi, and the other girls were also very much looking forward to Chen Qing's performance. They loved every song Chen Qing sang, and they had every song Chen Qing had sung on their phones.

"OK! Is everyone ready? I'll start playing!" Chen Qing called out to everyone as he approached the dual keyboard.

"Alright, Brother Chen, come on!" "Go Brother Chen, you're the best!"

Qinqin and Zhao Xiaogu responded loudly to Chen Qing while holding their phones. The other girls, though silent, all turned on their phones to record.

"Then I'll do it!"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he slammed his hands on the double keyboard, and a powerful piece of music instantly filled the entire Mushroom House, making everyone shudder.

We are all ordinary people born into this world.
Running around all day, never a moment's rest
Since one is not an immortal, it is inevitable that one will have impure thoughts.
Put morality aside and place profit in the middle.

How many men have been enraged for the sake of a beautiful woman?
Many birds that once shared the same forest have now become separated swallows.

Life is so short, why suffer in vain?
My lover is missing, who can I appeal to?
This song, "Ordinary Man's Song," was written by Li, the godfather of music in his previous life. It is a story he told after seeing through all aspects of life and experiencing its joys and sorrows. It is also one of Chen Qing's favorite songs. However, this time he sang the version adapted by Mayday and Rain God Lao Xiao, which has a stronger rhythm.

When did you see it?

The world changes for people.

I have the face I've always dreamed of

Does it mean that spring has arrived?

Although the lyrics of this passage seem to be asking a question, everyone heard the answer in Chen Qing's singing: a positive and uplifting force. Even if we complain about the past, it's useless. We might as well face each day and confront new life and challenges with a more open mind.

After a short while, Chen Qing stood up, went to the guitar, slung it over his shoulder, and began to solo. At this moment, his instrumental mastery began to shine again, making the women gasp in amazement. They all turned into little fangirls, and even the usually reserved Ya Ya began to sway her body to the rhythm.

"My husband is so handsome, I love you, I love you to death."

"Brother Chen is so cool and handsome!"

"Brother Chen, you're awesome!"

"Xiao Chen, you're amazing."

Some netizens understand the goddesses' frenzy, because they are all in a similar state, completely captivated by Chen Qing's masterful instrumental performance and singing skills. Some female fans even took their phones and started kissing Chen Qing in front of the camera from home.

Those male fans only had one concept in their minds—handsome. Sure enough, men who can play musical instruments are handsome. They wanted to learn to play the guitar too, so they wouldn't have to worry about not finding a girlfriend. Didn't they see how crazy their goddesses were?

Listen to that, so amazing, so impressive! Anyone who didn't know better would think they were making a suggestive joke! At this moment, if Brother Chen said a few flirtatious words, even the goddess would fall for him!

Chen Qing accompanied the audience on guitar for the second half of the performance. At the end of the song, Chen Qing was very satisfied with the atmosphere. He glanced at the live stream and said, "I'll dedicate 'Ordinary Man' to everyone. How was that? Satisfied with the opening?"
