The Future is Promising

Liu Di opened the door.

At that instant, he heard the sound of a string snapping above his head.

A basin of ink came pouring down!

Naturally, Liu Di had been prepared. With his 180-centimeter height and the reach of his arms, he caught the basin immediately!

At the same time, he noticed specks of starlight glittering across the floor—a whole ground covered in glass marbles!

Huff.

Liu Di slipped, then used the momentum to perform a backflip!

He spun 360 degrees without a sound, graceful beyond belief!

And landed steadily!

The basin full of ink in his hands remained perfectly level the entire time!

With his astonishing stability, not a single drop spilled!

Liu Di steadied his breathing and looked at the data in his field of vision, the corners of his mouth slowly lifting!

Strength enhancement: 568%, with a single punch delivering approximately 280 kilograms of force!

Reaction speed enhancement: 354%, reaction time 0.03 seconds!

Movement accuracy enhancement: 400%, error margin 3.6 millimeters!

Every stat was three to four times beyond that of an ordinary person!

"I never expected such earth-shaking changes in just one day!"

He had performed those moves on purpose.

He wanted to see just how far his body had progressed!

Looking at the gently rippling ink in the basin, Liu Di felt utterly refreshed. The feeling of having everything under control was too good!

He turned on the lights.

Though this was a basement, the furnishings were not bad. After all, this was the Yan Family Manor, worth hundreds of millions!

Only the faint musty smell drifting through the air reminded Liu Di that this basement had probably not housed anyone for many years!

Liu Di looked around.

A European-style bed, a European-style desk, a wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom—it had everything.

It was more than enough for a few days of temporary lodging!

Hm?

An antique piano in the corner caught Liu Di's attention.

Come to think of it, when Liu Di was little, his mother's only hope for him had been that he would become a pianist.

Interested, Liu Di opened the piano and lightly pressed a key.

A crisp note rang out.

But Liu Di knew perfectly well that the piano was out of tune.

Its age had loosened the strings, causing the notes to go flat!

Top piano tuner subconscious integration complete.

Subconscious integration of the playing techniques of 108 pianists complete.

At the same time, Magic Child's mischievous voice sounded. "Buy two, get one free. Vocal techniques from high-, mid-, and low-range singers, as well as popular contemporary singers, have been integrated!"

Liu Di smiled knowingly. "Magic Child, are you trying to help me fulfill my childhood dream?"

"The night is long, and sleep won't come. I'll sing a little tune and amuse myself!"

Ten minutes later.

Liu Di lightly dusted off his hands. When he pressed the keys again, this ancient piano of unknown origin finally came back to life.

Every note was perfectly tuned, and its tone was beautiful!

Huff.

Liu Di took a deep breath and slowly sat before the piano, his back straight and his expression calm as still water.

As his ten fingers touched the keys, the skills of a hundred piano masters surged forth in an instant.

The antique piano began to play, its melody soothing and ethereal.

Then Liu Di softly hummed as if speaking in a dream.

With godlike vocal technique, even a brief pause could send the imagination soaring endlessly!

Then Liu Di slowly opened his mouth.

He carefully arranged the words in his heart, set them to a rhythm, and began to sing softly!

In those days when towering waves blotted out the sky The wind howled past We were not afraid Let the seawater drown us Let the gale sweep over us We lived through the black night wind and the deep rain Wings beating against the darkness, waves rippling through the streets I pondered from a certain height The wind's course, the night's reach, and the ending of blossoming flowers A strength forgotten long ago Suddenly returned on an unexpected night The future Is promising

By the end of the song, Liu Di's voice had become almost celestial in its clarity, his vocal range reaching the top-tier C5 level!

His voice did not erupt all at once. Instead, it rose like a gentle stream, gradually climbing until it reached a realm as ethereal as paradise!

The wineglass on a nearby cabinet had developed fine cracks from the resonance!

"Sounds amazing!"

"The realm of human art truly cannot be predicted!"

There was even a trace of excitement in Magic Child's voice.

Ding. Video upload complete.

"Magic Child?"

"Haha, such a beautiful song would be a waste for me to enjoy alone. I turned it into a video and posted it online!"

A video appeared in Liu Di's field of vision.

The background had been processed. In the pitch-black setting, a beam of light shone down on a young man with a straight back seated before a piano. Immersed in it all, he sang a song from his heart with complete abandon.

Song title: "The Future is Promising."

Uploader: Emperor Yi.

Liu Di smiled lightly. Since his face was not shown, then everyone could enjoy it!

Still, the name "Emperor" was rather interesting.

Liu Di, Emperor!

On TikTok, an account named "Emperor Yi" with zero followers was quietly registered.

It posted only one video: a young man singing with his back to the camera.

A thousand miles away, an office worker was eating dinner at a roadside stall when he happened to scroll onto it.

The piano began to play.

The office worker, halfway through a bowl of ramen, was instantly drawn in. He tilted his head and pricked up his ears.

Gradually, his expression froze. The noodles in his mouth dangled in midair as he forgot to swallow.

I pondered from a certain height; The wind's course, the night's reach, and the ending of blossoming flowers.

When the crystalline high notes, as if from a dream world, rang out, every hair on his body stood on end and goosebumps covered him!

"This sounds too good! Is that even a human voice?!"

The office worker turned around and saw that, at some point, a crowd had gathered behind him!

Every one of them looked stunned!

"This song is incredible! What's it called? Who sang it?"

Everyone reached out at once and snatched the office worker's phone away!

"It's on TikTok! I'm following him!"

Liu Di lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting. He had long since grown used to his phone constantly vibrating.

Magic Child's futures trading had never stopped, after all!

But when Liu Di picked up his phone, his expression suddenly froze!

"Oh my god, is this a god?"

"This singing is so grand! The melody rises and falls dramatically from low to high, stirring the soul, majestic and powerful, lingering in the air—can anyone else sing at this level???"

"My room is so quiet, so quiet that I can hear my own heartbeat. His voice has deeply moved me. I don't want to return to reality. Who are you? I'll spend the rest of my life finding you!"

"I use top-tier speakers, and the resonance filled my room—my fish tank cracked! Those godlike high notes!"

"This must be the legendary voice of heaven!"

"Judging by that handsome guy's silhouette, he must be like a god of song in person, not someone who belongs in the mortal world!"

"Your lyrics, your lyrics! They reminded me of the hardships I once went through, but they also gave me hope and strength. I can feel it!"

"You guys don't understand! This song isn't just good—it's an original! Both the composition and lyrics are masterpieces. His arranging and songwriting skills are divine!"

"I'm in love, I'm in love! Who are you?! Who are you?! Who are you?!"
