Bonus Chapter: First Time Participating in the Diva Competition (3)
As a current resident of this small village, Su Xi is still unsure what choices she needs to make to change the course of events.
Su Xi walked out of the room after a moment's thought and came to the outside of the village. The environment here was similar to that of the reclusive Sen Star Race in reality.
It's probably based on the appearance of a secluded Sen Star Race.
Otherwise, the sense of déjà vu would be too strong.
In this small village, the Sen Star Person with pointed ears live a leisurely life.
Moreover, all the NPCs here have their own panels, through which Su Xi can learn about their information and their relationship with her.
A man from the planet Senxing walked up to her, waved at Su Xi, and said, "Good morning, little Su Xi ~"
Su Xi glanced at his panel. Oli, an ordinary adult Sen Star Person, was his neighbor.
Good morning, Oli.
"Hey, Xiao Su Xi's greeting today is so indifferent. She used to call me Big Brother Oli!"
Su Xi: "..."
What kind of relationship did the system give her?
Aren't they neighbors?
Oli quickly put away his teasing smile and asked, "Little Su Xi, you're an adult now. The village chief sent me over to ask you what you'd like to do next?"
Su Xi suddenly realized that Oli was probably here to help her start the script.
"I'd like to learn more about it first..."
"Huh, there are actually Sen Star Person among the races participating in this competition!"
Staff members discovered Su Xi through information provided by the AI system in the background.
"The Sen Star Person, this race hasn't appeared for a long time, has it?"
"The Sen Star Race? I've only ever seen them in textbooks..."
"The Sen Star Race seems to be quite popular among some important figures."
The noise from the workroom attracted the attention of the department head, who asked curiously, "What happened?"
Everyone looked over, and an employee quickly said, "There are Sen Star Person participating in this competition."
The supervisor leaned closer curiously, glanced at Su Xi's file, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. "The Sen Star Person? Are they that advanced civilization that's been isolated for thousands of years?"
All the employees nodded.
The supervisor continued, "Very good. With the participation of the Sen Star Person, this competition will definitely attract more attention. Observe her carefully. If she excels in all aspects, use her identity to add more excitement to the competition!"
The employees nodded in agreement.
The supervisor was secretly delighted.
This competition has been held for many years and is known to many people, but its popularity has been declining every year. After all, the competitions are always the same, and people eventually get tired of watching them.
But if an advanced civilization is involved, then things are different.
Advanced civilizations remain a source of great curiosity for the entire Silver Vortex Starry Sky.
It was already quite an achievement for them to invite Shui Lingjiao to participate, but unexpectedly, a Sen Star Person suddenly appeared to participate in the competition!
The Sen Star Race has been in seclusion for so long, their appearance this time will definitely attract more attention!
Sunlight filters through the treetops, dappling the secluded village.
Through the explanation from this alien from Orison, Su Xi understood that she had two choices.
One role is to become a minor priest in the village, responsible for preparing for festivals.
The second option is to become a bard and go on adventures.
Both of these options involve singing.
Su Xi had thought she could become a wandering knight or an archer, but it turned out she only had two choices: singing.
That makes sense, since they're here to participate in a Diva competition, so naturally they wouldn't have any options other than singing.
Standing at the door, Su Xi looked around and saw only a few people walking outside.
As expected of a secluded village, there are very few Sen Star Person here.
If she chooses to become a minor priestess, she must stay in the village and enjoy the natural affection and worship of these NPCs.
The initial start is good, but it's not good to leave the village.
If she weren't a Sen Star Race, Su Xi might have chosen this option directly.
After all, if one were human, becoming a village priest would increase one's popularity, allowing one to take up a higher position and gain even more popularity.
But this reclusive Sen Star Race cannot.
Without the Mother Tree, where would the more advanced Sen Star Person find a place?
That leaves only one option.
That is to become a bard, leave the village with a mission, and go on an adventure.
"Are you sure you want to become a bard? It's very dangerous, you know?" Big Brother Oli said nervously.
Su Xi nodded without being moved.
"Alright then, I will explain your choice to the village chief."
Big Brother Oli nodded and left.
At this moment, Su Xi's script was updated.
To save your village from destruction, you decide to become a bard!
The content inside is unchanged from before; it still introduces my identity in this world and some of my background experiences. However, there is now a new task listed below.
[Task Requirements: Prove your abilities to the village chief at the bonfire party by composing a song that embodies local folk music and receiving at least thirty positive reviews.]
"Local folk songs, that seems quite difficult."
Su Xi looked at the task requirements and pondered.
Before entering the competition, she learned about the Diamond Civilization's definition of song levels.
The highest level is the music of the gods, which means a gift from the divine and is almost impossible for anyone to create.
The next level is masterpieces, which are also very difficult to create. After all, songs that reach this level usually carry a profound history or story.
Otherwise, how could it be worthy of being a masterpiece?
The next level down is pop hits, which is the highest level most Diva can create. The first two levels are beyond the capabilities of ordinary Diva.
Besides this, there are two lower levels.
That's local folk music, the sound of beginners.
To qualify as a local folk song, at least one-third of the people who hear your song must like it.
This requirement isn't actually that high.
After all, she is part of this village. As long as her singing isn't too bad, it's easy for her to win over a third of the Sen Star Person.
The problem lies in local folk songs.
The songs she sings must fit the environment of the Sen Star Person.
Su Xi thought for a moment, but she didn't know what song to sing or when to sing it.
We can't just suddenly start singing in this square, can we?
The task also requires at least thirty positive reviews, but not only are there few people available now, it would be quite awkward for me to suddenly have to sing.
"There are so many songs I could sing... I don't know which one to sing."
After all, she has access to the entire global music library, so much so that she doesn't know what to sing.
Furthermore, the creation of cultural and entertainment works is minimally affected by technology. Su Xi believes that many songs from Earth can still move people even if they reach the stars.
Su Xi stood at the door for a while, then prepared to go out and observe the town carefully to get inspiration for choosing songs.
