Chapter One: The Elimination Rounds Amidst Adversity

About to begin

Immediately afterwards, the light screen turned into starlight and dissipated, and a surge of sleepiness washed over me.

Tang Song's body quickly relaxed, and his breathing became even and long.

I was born into an ordinary working-class family. Although we weren't wealthy, my family members were healthy and lived in harmony.

In the third grade of elementary school, a very cute little girl transferred to my class and happened to be assigned to sit next to me.

She is very smart; she learns everything the teacher teaches very quickly, gets full marks on every exam, and can also Hua Hua, play the piano, and dance.

She loves reading and often shares interesting stories with me.

Before we knew it, we had become very good friends.

After entering junior high school, we went to different schools, made new friends, and gradually lost touch. We only bumped into each other occasionally in the library, stationery store, or on the street.

When we got to high school, we became classmates again. Although we weren't in the same class, we often chatted on the Sports Field, in the stairwell, or under the shade of trees.

She was still so outstanding, always ranking among the top three in the school, while I was only slightly above average.

She liked to listen to music while solving math problems, so I used my saved living expenses to buy a guitar and started teaching myself.

I unexpectedly discovered that I have a great talent for music. I play the guitar very well and sing very well.

When we went to university, we were separated again, this time by more than 350 kilometers.

I joined a music club and was introduced to more musical instruments.

I started trying to write my own songs, sing them, film them as videos, upload them to short video apps, and then share them with her.

An entertainment company approached me, impressed by my musical talent and handsome looks, and wanted to sign me as a singer.

I agree.

I love music, and I long to prove myself and become a star.

After receiving professional training and guidance, my musical skills improved by leaps and bounds once again.

My agent arranged for me to participate in a program called "Tomorrow's Superstar".

This is a global music talent show, and it's currently the most popular variety show.

She gave me a very expensive guitar to encourage me to keep going.

I successfully passed the "Preliminary Round" and "Selected Round" and entered the elimination round in the Huaxia region. This means that I will finally be able to appear on the screen and shine in the wildly popular variety show "Tomorrow's Superstar"!

However, the upcoming first round of the competition does not seem to be easy.

I might be eliminated.

***********

Story Mission: Maintain your character profile and successfully pass the first round of eliminations.

Evaluation criteria: stage performance ability, personal charisma, and role suitability.

Tang Song slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his face.

He seemed to have experienced another person's life just now. It seemed to flash by, but he could clearly immerse himself in it without any sense of incongruity.

Passionate about music, extremely talented, with an outstanding voice, and proficient in many musical instruments.

His guitar skills, in particular, are good enough to form a band.

It can be said that he is an absolute powerhouse.

? tta n?￠o

This is also why he was able to stand out from the Huaxia region.

However, in the first round of the knockout stage, he encountered a VIP player.

Perhaps out of fear of his strength, the agency behind him arranged for their group's match to be held at a music festival in the "Sakura Province" through insider dealings.

The contestants perform, and the audience and judges vote.

As a province of Huaxia, although the people here can all speak Mandarin, Japanese, as a dialect, is still prevalent.

This VIP contestant is a local from Sakura Province and is very good at singing Japanese songs.

"Ding! The dungeon shop is now open. Purchased items and skill books can only be used within this dungeon."

It's here! The equipment for dungeons is finally available!

Even though my opponent is a VIP, I'm a cheater!

Even in my dreams, you wouldn't dare bully me!

Open the System Interface and enter the newly appeared dungeon shop.

View the item details one by one.

Viral Japanese Song *1: This item grants you the lyrics, music, and arrangement of one viral Japanese song. Price: 100,000 yen.

Japanese Skill Book: After use, you can automatically master Japanese pronunciation rules, vocabulary, grammar, and intonation, enabling you to speak, listen, read, and write fluently, reaching a professional translation level. Price: 200,000 yuan.

Recovery Potion *10: After use, it can quickly restore your energy and spirit to the best state, helping you to better cope with the game. Price: 300,000 yuan.

Tang Song didn't continue reading, after all, he only had 440,000 yuan in savings.

"Ding! You have obtained Viral Japanese Song."

"Ding! You have obtained Japanese Skill Book."

The 300,000 yuan bet that had just been proposed was gone immediately, Tang Song felt a little pained.

However, there's no other way; to successfully clear the dungeon, you need the right equipment.

Enter the System Warehouse, select the Japanese Skill Book, and use it immediately.

After a little thought, Tang Song immediately came up with a lot of phrases, pronunciations, and grammar, and could speak fluent Japanese on the spot.

Unfortunately, this skill is only temporary and can only be used in this instance.

Otherwise, we won't need subtitles when watching anime and sitcoms anymore; we can just watch the raw content directly, greatly enhancing the viewing experience.

After reflecting for a while, I selected Viral Japanese Song and used it immediately.

In an instant, the complete score and arrangement appeared in his mind.

With his musical talent derived from dreams, he immediately digested and understood the song.

I picked up the guitar and casually strummed and sang a few lines, which went very smoothly.

Tang Song gently put down his guitar, walked to the window, and looked out to admire the scenery of Osaka.

Skyscrapers, subway lines, colorful GG Brand, girls in JK uniforms, anime elements everywhere...

Although this dream world and the real world have many differences, they also have many similarities.

Although I really wanted to experience the unique culture of this foreign land and chat with beautiful Sakura girls, I decided to give up on that idea because of my current persona.

Over the next two days, Tang Song followed the established rhythm and tried his best to play his role.

Adjust your mindset, refine your songs, train your voice, learn stage presence, and participate in competitions.

With the announcement of the match results.

The scene before Tang Song's eyes froze instantly.

A dark brown guitar, a dazzling stage, bright spotlights, and cheers, applause, and shouts from the audience.

With a "whoosh," the System Light Screen unfolded.

The story dungeon has been cleared.
