The longed-for village system

Chapter 385 A Man Should Be Self-Reliant

The room fell silent as Chen Qing sang the first part of the poem, everyone staring at him with their mouths wide open.

While the live stream room was completely quiet, the literary societies were once again in turmoil.

"Quickly write this poem down for me. As long as the second stanza doesn't fall flat, it will be a timeless masterpiece!"

"Translate, hurry up and translate! If we're the first to translate it, our literary society will become famous."

There are quite a few literary societies, individuals, and media outlets across the country with this idea. With Chen Qing's current popularity, even a slight connection would bring huge popularity and profits.

Of course, they were waiting for Chen Qing to finish the second part of the poem, but Chen Qing did not make them wait. He finished the wine in his cup and began to recite the poem again.

I recall the days when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was just married, and he was so handsome and heroic.

With a feather fan and a blue silk scarf, he destroyed the enemy's masts and oars in the midst of laughter and conversation.

My thoughts wander to my homeland; those who are sentimental would laugh at me for my prematurely gray hair.

Life is like a dream; let us offer a libation to the moon reflected in the river.

After reciting the poem, Chen Qing looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a sense of literary flair (pretentiousness) arose spontaneously. No wonder the protagonists of those transmigration novels in his previous life loved reciting poems so much. Indeed, the most pretentious way is to overwhelm everyone with literary talent.

He could feel the admiring gazes of those around him. Indeed, he was the chosen one, shining like a firefly in the night, attracting everyone's attention wherever he went.

Surprisingly, at this moment, no one thought Chen Qing was being pretentious; everyone assumed he was just expressing his feelings or gazing at the moon.

"Excellent, excellent! Magnificent and spirited! Among the younger generation, you're probably the only one who can write such a composed and grand ancient poem." Huang Sanshi snapped out of his daze and immediately applauded.

Although there are still parts he doesn't fully understand, it doesn't affect his appreciation of the poem. There is no doubt that this ancient poem is of quality that can be included in textbooks.

"Impressive, Chen is still Chen as always. Brother, let me toast you." Teacher He directly poured wine for Chen Qing and let him drink.

Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, Liu Shishi, her younger sister, and Xiao Zi looked at Chen Qing with eyes full of admiration, while Zhao Xiaogu, Ya Ya, and Liu Shishi even had adoring looks in their eyes.

"No, shouldn't someone who's drunk be talking a lot, acting crazy, or just going to sleep? How can they do this? Making witty remarks?" Yue Yunpeng felt like his understanding was about to collapse.

"That's for us ordinary people, but for Brother Chen, it's an explosion of talent. He used the alcohol to unleash his hidden talents. The real show is just beginning!" Peng Peng responded to Yue Yunpeng's astonishment in a low voice.

"."

Well! I've really seen something new today. No wonder my master speaks so highly of Chen Qing; he's definitely no ordinary person!
Perhaps it was the alcohol taking effect and the atmosphere being just right, but Chen Qing felt his personal show was about to begin. He turned to Zhao Xiaogu and said, "Wife, bring me my phone. I'll sing a song to liven things up for everyone."

Zhao Xiaogu wanted to laugh at Chen Qing's expression, but unable to stop him, she could only nod and agree, "Okay, you stand here and don't move, I'll go get it for you."

"Xiao Gu, sit down! I'll go get it. It's not convenient for you to go back and forth with your pregnant belly." Ya Ya said to Zhao Xiao Gu, who was about to get up, and walked into the house. She quickly returned with Chen Qing's phone. "Brother Chen, are you going to play the accompaniment?"

After Ya Ya finished speaking, she unlocked Chen Qing's phone. This phone was previously used by Zhao Xiaogu to play games, so all of them knew the unlock password. She also knew that Chen Qing had never changed the password.

Meanwhile, Peng Peng had already prepared the equipment while Ya Ya went back to her room to get her phone, and the production team also added a recording device. Everyone knew that the drunken Chen Qing was about to unleash his ultimate move.

"Did you see that? Goddess Yaya can unlock Brother Chen's phone." "What's so strange about that? You still don't doubt that Brother Chen and Goddess Yaya are just ordinary friends, do you? Kid, don't be so naive."

"Exactly, even in this information age, are there still people who don't know that Brother Chen and Goddess Yaya are a married couple?"

"Are you guys really that naive? Is that what I meant? I meant that since that's the case, we could ask a few goddesses to unlock Brother Chen's phone and see if there are any new songs that he's recorded but hasn't released yet. Then we can ask the goddesses to give us some perks!"

"Holy crap! Xiuer, that brain is incredibly fast! I wholeheartedly support you."

"Absolutely unconditional support."

The audience was not surprised at all that Ya Ya was able to unlock Chen Qing's phone; on the contrary, they started discussing how to find out Chen Qing's new songs in the future.

Of course, no one at the scene thought there was a problem. Even Zhao Xiaogu herself didn't think there was anything wrong with Ya Ya unlocking Chen Qing's phone. It was a phone she had given to the man, and many of her friends knew the unlock password.

Everyone was waiting to see what Chen Qing would perform next. This time, it should be singing! After all, he had already composed two ancient poems, and it was time to start singing out loud.

"Open this folder, yes, this one."

After instructing Ya Ya to open the folder on her phone, Chen Qing staggered down the steps to the center of the courtyard with the microphone in hand, exuding an aura of a superstar about to headline the performance.

After connecting her phone to the media player, Ya Ya sat down, ready to be a spectator. Of course, she also took pictures of Chen Qing with her phone, showing off the cute yet domineering side of the man when he was drunk.

Boom!
A sudden drumbeat startled everyone, who thought something was wrong. Fortunately, two or three seconds later, another drumbeat sounded, and everyone realized that this drumbeat was the start of the accompaniment.

The subsequent escalating drumbeats seemed to ignite a fuse, instantly jolting everyone awake and filling them with a sense of pride.

Inside the courtyard, Chen Qing also activated the system's skills and went all out.

Arrogant laughter amidst a thousand waves

Passion surpasses even the red sun

Gallbladder of iron, bones of steel
A broad mind and a far-reaching vision
I vow to strive to be a hero.
To be a good man, you must be self-reliant every day.
Passionate men are hotter than the red sun.

The powerful percussion instruments, the strong rhythm, the arrogant lyrics, and Chen Qing's majestic voice ignited the fire in everyone's hearts, each hum and ha sound like adding fuel to the fire.

Let the sea and sky gather energy for me
To create heaven and earth

Go for my ideals
See the towering blue waves

Looking again at the vast blue sky, a sense of grandeur rises.

I am a man, I should be self-reliant

After a brief moment of surprise, everyone in the Mushroom House was also roused by Chen Qingge's voice. They all stood up and waved their hands, and their faces turned red, perhaps due to the alcohol.

Of course, it's also possible that the song is catchy. After all, both the melody and lyrics of this song are exhilarating, and Chen Qing himself felt more and more into it as he sang. At this moment, his inner chivalry and youthful pride began to erupt like a volcano, and the tune involuntarily rose again.
