Side Story: First Time Participating in the Diva Competition (6)
Yu Qingyu connected to the room with curiosity and discovered that he was not alone in having such thoughts.
In no time, the room reached its maximum capacity.
"It seems everyone is quite interested in this Sen Star Person Diva." He looked around and muttered to himself, while simultaneously opening the system to check the Diva's profile.
Historically, the Sen Star Person seem to be quite skilled in music; I wonder if we'll hear a satisfying sound this time.
They can also read the Diva's scripts, because this allows them to quickly understand the Diva's experiences and then immerse themselves in them.
"A backward village, this doesn't seem like a good start."
Yu Qingyu glanced at the contents of the script and raised her eyebrows.
Then I saw that this Diva would be singing at the bonfire party that evening.
He then said, "But it won't take up much time."
Yu Qingyu crossed her arms and waited quietly for the system to connect.
I could hear other aliens discussing the Sen Star Person with curiosity.
"Can someone tell me what the Sen Star Person are? Why do you all talk about this race as if it's so noble?"
"Hmm? This was once a glorious advanced civilization. Back then, the Sen Star Civilization was similar to the current Siren Civilization."
"Unfortunately, they have been isolated for thousands of years, and now many people are unaware of their existence."
"There are still Sen Star Person in the outside world, but most of them have gone into seclusion. Even those who do show their faces are mostly the private possessions of some powerful figure."
A short while later, the system indicated that it was about to connect.
The darkness before everyone's eyes faded, and the night and the soft firelight illuminated their faces.
Through the script, they all knew that the bonfire party was in progress.
A red-haired girl stood up and walked slowly to the wooden platform, instantly drawing everyone's attention to her.
The name Su Xi was displayed above her head, making it clear to everyone that she was the contestant in this room.
"Wow, are these the Sen Star Person?!" someone exclaimed.
Under the cover of night and the glow of the fire, Su Xi's red hair shone brightly, and her face was exquisite, like a fragile porcelain doll.
"Wow, she looks even more fragile than my sister's doll..."
"I want to buy her!"
The noise from the audience did not affect the performers on stage.
The red-haired girl took a deep breath and activated the melody assist function. Her melodious singing instantly drew everyone's attention.
Are you going to Scarborough Market?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
The singing was melodious, like a gentle breeze blowing through the treetops, or the tinkling of a spring.
The annoying chatter gradually subsided, and everyone began to listen attentively.
Please give my regards to the person who lives there.
She was once a true love of mine.
Yu Qingyu was shocked. "It sounds beautiful!"
"Moreover... there's no power in this sound, it's just a pure sound!"
"No, even without special powers, she can captivate everyone here simply through her music!"
To be honest, Yu Qingyu hasn't listened to such a simple and beautiful song in a long time.
Ever since some life forms possessed special vocal powers, the songs in the starry sky have long been enslaved by sound. It has even evolved to the point that for a Diva, not having a powerful voice is a shameful thing.
Even songs that lacked vocal power in the past were covered by those who later mastered vocal power and received unanimous praise.
Over time, pure music disappeared from the market.
As the song rose and fell, the campfire seemed to flicker.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt.
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
The slightly melancholic melody was fully brought to life through Su Xi's singing.
All the NPCs present held their partners' hands tightly.
Hicks called out anxiously, "Luther..."
Luther said earnestly, "Hicks, trust me, I'll be fine."
"Even if something happens to me, I will come back to see you one last time, instead of making you come looking for my body..."
Before Luther could finish speaking, Hicks covered Luther's mouth.
"You mustn't say that. I believe you'll be fine."
Hicks then hugged Luther tightly.
The NPC couples present all felt the meaning conveyed in the song, and hugged each other tightly to ease their inner unease.
Viewers who have read the script are beginning to understand the meaning behind the song.
It begins with the melody of the song, and ends with the meaning of the lyrics.
Yu Qingyu couldn't help but admire the girl's talent.
"Without seams or needlework"
Then she'll be my true love.
The singing continued.
Yu Qingyu composed herself and immersed herself completely in the song.
And gather it all in a bunch of heather.
Then she'll be my true love.
As the last line of lyrics fell, the melody stopped.
Su Xi took a deep breath and looked at the crowd below the stage. She wondered how they felt after hearing this, but she felt that she had given it her all.
The singing stopped, and the entire venue fell silent.
The NPCs were moved by Su Xi's singing. Knowing that their partners would continue their business journey and face countless dangers, they were reluctant to let go of their partners and only wanted to enjoy this moment of tenderness.
The audience erupted in shock, stunned by the otherworldly singing.
Su Xi didn't have time to pay attention.
She was reviewing her tasks.
"Song rating: Local folk song or above (The song needs to receive more reviews to advance.)"
"Number of positive reviews (NPCs): 51/86"
Number of fans (NPCs): 86
With 51 positive reviews, and considering that there were 51 NPCs participating in the bonfire party, she received positive reviews from all the NPCs!
(I have a feeling this side story will take a long time to write...)
