Extra: First Time Participating in the Diva Competition (5)

The village was illuminated by the soft moonlight and the warm orange glow of the campfire at night.

Sen Star Person from all directions gathered at the square, and laughter filled the air.

Su Xi followed Hicks and Luther to the bonfire party, still pondering what song to sing next.

She had the idea, but since she had only practiced before and had never tried singing in front of so many people, Su Xi still felt a little nervous.

I was worried that I would sing off-key, and I was also worried that my singing would not satisfy these NPCs.

Of course, the lively bonfire party didn't stop because of Su Xi's troubles. Hicks and Luther danced intimately around the bonfire, and there were many others like them.

After all, the caravan consisted of a large number of people, and the safe return of these merchants was something worth celebrating with a bonfire party.

After a while.

The village chief, who didn't look particularly old, stepped onto the wooden platform and began to explain the recent situation in the village to everyone.

The village chief first mentioned the recent bumper harvest in the village, which made everyone cheer. He then announced that the caravan should prepare to depart in three days.

Because the village has a small population, every Sen Star Person must choose a profession that can help the village develop after reaching adulthood.

As the key to communication between villages and the outside world, caravans consisted of the largest number of people and were also the most dangerous.

Hicks and Luther finished dancing and came to Su Xi's side, saying with dissatisfaction, "You guys are leaving again so soon? You've only been back for two days..."

Luther smiled and said, "It's alright. We're not leaving for another three days, so I can stay with you for three more days."

"I told you a long time ago to choose another profession, but you insisted on being a businessman. You're never home, humph."

Luther said helplessly, "Some things, after all, need to be done by someone, and I can also go all over the world to bring back souvenirs."

Hicks pouted. "I don't want those souvenirs."

Although her words were somewhat defiant, Su Xi, as an observer, could clearly sense Hicks's reluctance to part with Luther.

Of course, it wasn't just Hicks who was reluctant to part with her partner; the other Sen Star Person felt the same way. They all expressed their reluctance to leave their partners, but they had no choice but to do so for the sake of the village's development.

At the same time.

The village chief delivered his final message.

"The last remaining Sen Star Person in the village has now reached adulthood, and she has chosen to become a bard."

Upon hearing this news, every Sen Star Person turned a sideways glance at Su Xi.

If caravan traders are the profession that encounters the most dangers among all these professions, then there is another profession that encounters even more dangers than caravan traders.

They are bards.

The main purpose of this profession is to leave the village, travel alone, find other Sen Star Person villages, communicate with them, and establish diplomatic relations.

The difficulties encountered in this process are countless.

Therefore, no one has ever chosen this profession.

At first, the village chief didn't think Su Xi would choose this option either.

After all, becoming a junior priest would be easy work and prestigious; all he would need to do was preside over village activities and learn some medical skills.

The position of junior priest was a gift he had considered and intended to give to the last Sen Star Person to come of age.

In the end, however, she unexpectedly chose to become a bard.

Many Sen Star Person in the square disagreed with this, because Su Xi had only just come of age and it was not appropriate for her to be a bard.

"Su Xi seems a bit too young. Becoming a bard requires a wealth of experience."

"This profession is a bit dangerous; if you're very strong, you might consider doing it."

"Hey, why would such a cute little girl Su Xi choose such a dangerous profession?"

In fact, the village chief thought so too.

Therefore, he stood on the stage and said to Su Xi, "Little Su Xi, if you want to become a bard, first of all, your singing voice needs to be outstanding. If your singing voice can be recognized by the villagers present, then I will allow you to become a bard."

They've arrived.

Su Xi's heart tightened.

The preliminary rounds of the Diva Competition have begun.

After the village chief finished speaking, the system notified that many viewers had joined her room.

A notification sounded in Su Xi's ear, "Viewers have already joined the room. Players can choose whether to display their figures. Except for you, the NPCs will not see these viewers."

"It's displayed, but viewers can't get within five meters of me."

The system displays the audience's figures, allowing the system to understand their reactions to the song in real time. The reason for this proximity range is that without restrictions, disruptive audience members might jump onto the stage and play pranks on her.

This is really upsetting.

After seeing the data light figures (audience) gradually appearing in the square, Su Xi replied to the village chief, "Okay."

They came up on the stage.

Su Xi felt the gazes of countless eyes and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She glanced at the NPCs and audience below the stage. The NPCs sat quietly, looking at her with serious eyes, probably wondering whether to stop her. The audience members who had come in were whispering among themselves with curiosity.

Su Xi knew that the large number of viewers who came in despite her lack of fame was largely due to her identity.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and then summoned the Diva's exclusive melody support system, a silly little fairy who could only play music.

This fairy can help her turn the melodies in her mind into music in reality.

With a thought, the little fairy opened her mouth, and melodious music began to echo in the night sky.

The village chief sat amidst the crowd, his eyes filled with shock, muttering, "So she's Heaven-Sent Diva. I never imagined our clan could produce Heaven-Sent Diva..."

The title of Heaven-Sent Diva is given by the system, after all, it's to ensure that the Diva can smoothly embark on their singing careers.

Su Xi closed her eyes, and her clear and melodious voice filled the entire square.

Are you going to Scarborough Market?

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Bathed in the warm glow of the fire, Su Xi's melodious singing enveloped the people.

She chose this song mainly because of Hicks's influence, and with the caravan about to set off again, singing this song was the perfect choice for the occasion.

(This song was originally anti-war, but due to its current spread, most people think it's a love song. After all, they don't understand the meaning behind the song, and it does sound like a love song.)

In this first preliminary competition, you win as long as you can resonate with the NPCs!

Please give my regards to the person who lives there.

She was once a true love of mine.

As the song ended, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only the melody released by the little fairy continued.
