My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

"However, I feel that his condition is not very stable. He is probably a little nervous, or perhaps because he has never received professional training. Although he has talent, he has not been able to fully demonstrate it, after all, it is his first time recording a song."

Xia Yan's eyes shone with wisdom: "He is a rough gem, he needs constant polishing!"

Lian Xiaoyu was shocked!

Who is Xia Yan?

Genius beautiful girl!

Outstanding graduate of the world-renowned Curtis Institute of Music!

Internationally renowned pianist!

At only 20 years old, he is already a near-top-tier new-era singer!

She is a rising star in China with unlimited potential! Countless music critics have called her a genius who could definitely become a "Queen of Pop" before the age of 25!

Lian Xiaoyu was well aware of Xia Yan's high standards. The two became best friends not only because of their similar personalities, but also because their families were similar and had been friends for generations. Xia Yan received all kinds of elite education from a young age. Being an outstanding graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music was just one of her degrees. She also had a double degree from the world's top business school, Manston School of Business. She was truly a prodigy.

Such a privileged young woman is now praising Lin Fan, an orphan, as a diamond in the rough. What does that mean? It means that even Xiao Yu is a privileged young woman, and her judgment is absolutely amazing! The investment failure was all due to her own carelessness; Xiao Fan is the cornerstone of her future rise.

Lian Xiaoyu grew more and more excited as she thought about it, her eyes shining as she looked at Lin Fan: "Little Fanfan, whether I can turn the tables depends entirely on you!"

Recording studio.

At this moment, Lin Fan was completely unaware of what the two beautiful young women outside were thinking. He was trying his best to get into the zone. After all, it was his first time recording a song and his first time singing seriously. His first stage performance and the first public performance didn't count. Before recording, he thought it would be very simple, but when he actually started recording, Lin Fan realized how difficult it was.

[Never sing off-key] is just the basics. Although the system has given him [intermediate singing skills], it has not been fully transformed into his own. This is the fundamental reason why Xia Yan said that Lin Fan's state was unstable and he did not perform to his full potential.

To truly unleash the full potential of his "Intermediate Singing Skills," Lin Fan needs constant practice. This is also the outcome the system aims to achieve. Just like during his highlight moment on stage, Lin Fan attempted a double-flying swallow move—the movement was executed, but he also messed up his genitals. This is because Lin Fan hasn't fully internalized the skills rewarded by the system.

Singing skills and basic dance skills are things Lin Fan needs to practice more. Only through continuous practice will these skills become Lin Fan's instincts, and then be carried forward and developed.

Lin Fan at this point can do it, but he's not an expert.

However, this process does not take long. With consistent practice over a period of time, it can be equivalent to the hard work of many professionals over ten or twenty years.

After all, the system is still very powerful.

Unfortunately, Lin Fan had just acquired the skill, so he had to face Xia Yan's repeated and merciless rejections.

"One more time!"

"One more time!"

"One more time!"

……

Xia Yan and Lian Xiaoyu didn't know how much pain Lin Fan was in, but behind their expressionless faces lay undisguised surprise.

In just half a day, the two of them could clearly feel that Lin Fan was growing rapidly.

The process of becoming stronger was simply amazing. From initial awkwardness to increasing proficiency, Lin Fan only took less than an hour. In subsequent practice sessions, Xia Yan focused on perfecting the skills, wanting Lin Fan to find the emotions that the song should convey.

A million-dollar audio engineer is important, but if a singer can convey emotion in their performance, it saves a lot of effort. No one knows where Lin Fan's limits lie. Xia Yan unconsciously wants to reach Lin Fan's ceiling, so she repeatedly criticizes him. She has a gut feeling that this handsome young man can definitely do better!

Once!

Ten times!

One hundred times!

……

No one remembers how many times Lin Fan sang it. Lin Fan felt like he was almost numb. He was now almost afraid of Xia Yan. He never expected that such a beautiful woman would have such strict requirements and be so 'fierce'!

"It's ready!"

In a daze, a voice came from behind him. Lin Fan nodded and consciously turned back to the recording studio: "Okay, one more time...?"

Lin Fan was a little confused. What had he just heard?

"It's done! The song is recorded!"

Xia Yan's firm voice came again. Lin Fan turned his head a little dumbfounded and looked at Xia Yan. He saw that Xia Yan had a smile on her face, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction and affirmation, as well as a hint of tenderness.

Xia Yan hadn't expected this seemingly unserious young man to put in such a tremendous amount of effort when practicing singing. They'd been recording for a whole day already, and the streetlights were long past. It reminded her of her own childhood piano practice, a time of just as much dedication.

"It's all better? Really all better? Ahhhhhh!"

Lin Fan jumped up excitedly, but as soon as he jumped, he collapsed to the ground. Lian Xiaoyu was startled and quickly ran over to help Lin Fan. Xia Yan was also a little flustered and rushed over from behind the control panel.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted!"

Singing is physically demanding. After recording for such a long time, Lin Fan's energy was completely depleted. He even hurriedly ate a few bites of boxed lunch for lunch. In fact, this was the first time in both of his lives that Lin Fan had taken something so seriously.

Lian Xiaoyu helped Lin Fan sit down and couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, you little Fanfan, you're really pushing yourself too hard! Is it because you see my best friend is pretty and want to show off in front of her?"

"Lian Xiaoyu, you're moving your belongings out of my house today!"

A murderous aura emanated from behind, startling Lian Xiaoyu, who immediately sat up straight: "Xiao Fanfan, I feel we need to discuss the contract!"

"Heh, woman!"

Lin Fan ignored the woman and looked up at Xia Yan, only to find her sitting in front of the computer synthesizing audio tracks, her eyes fixed on the screen, completely unaffected.

Suddenly, Lin Fan laughed. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had finally accomplished a great feat. Soon he would be a man who could make money while lying down!

Although I almost vomited blood while singing, I only managed to reach the passing grade set by Xia, the artist, pianist, recording engineer, and producer, and complete the recording of the entire song. But, once it's finished, it's finished. A day's hard work has brought long-term benefits. This deal was a huge success!

This is actually Lin Fan's logic in life: as long as doing one thing well can make him live a life of ease, then he will do his best to complete it.

Of course, the million-task offer from this fraudulent system isn't worth taking seriously.

That's not something that can be done in a day or two, nor can it be done by spitting out blood!

That requires you to fight with all your might!
