On the other hand, after Ai Xiaoxing received the songs Xu Yi wrote for her, she immediately sang them and released both songs, which became hits. As a result, many entertainment companies approached her.

This music is only found in heaven; how often can one hear it on earth!

This song really resonated with me!

[These lyrics and this melody must have been written by a master!]

At this moment, Xu Yi was waiting for his new order at the restaurant when the sudden Emotion Points completely bewildered Xu Yi.

No, I didn't do anything, so why did I suddenly have so many Emotion Points?

Xu Yi opened his phone in confusion and saw that his Livestream Viewers were tagging him like crazy.

[Yi-ge, Yi-ge, did you see those two songs?]

[Yi-ge, those two songs are really good, they remind me of you as soon as I hear them.]

[Let's be kind to our fans, please sing a cover for us!]

Xu Yi looked at them and realized they were the two songs he had written for Ai Xiaoxing, which became popular after she sang them.

"Since you all want to hear it so much, I'll spoil my fans and sing it for you after I finish this order." Anyway, I wrote it myself, so how could I not know how to sing it? It's a good way to gain Emotion Points, but I'll find a bigger venue with more people later, so I think I'll get even more Emotion Points.

Xu Yi was about to return to school after delivering the food when he saw a college student busking by the roadside.

Xu Yi parked his car to the side and said to the Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room, "There's a college student singing here, I'll do a cover for you now."

Upon hearing this, the Livestream Viewers immediately perked up and began spreading the word enthusiastically.

Many people along the roadside were also attracted to the area.

Xu Yi walked up to the college student and said, "Hello, may I borrow your equipment?"

The college student glanced at Xu Yi's delivery uniform and said irritably, "You're a food delivery guy, do you even know how to sing? Don't break my equipment."

"So, you're quite good at singing?" Xu Yi said with a smile, arms crossed, looking at the college student.

The college student said proudly, "Of course! I've studied music."

"You can sing those two songs that are really popular online lately, right?"

Upon hearing this, the college student suddenly looked embarrassed. Xu Yi smiled and said, "Oh~ you don't know how to sing, do you?"

[Negative emotions +100]

The college student blushed and said, "Those two songs are obviously written by masters, and if anyone's going to sing them, it's a master. I can learn them after listening to them a few times."

"Oh, so you mean you're no good? You can't even sing this."

[Negative emotions +100]

I can sing!

"Then you can come."

By this time, a crowd had gradually gathered around, mostly former university students who had been listening.

Sing him a song! Give him a slap in the face!

"Exactly, exactly. How dare a food delivery guy spout such nonsense?"

The college student looked around nervously, then finally made up his mind and finished the song.

Not only were the people around Xu Yi silent, but even the Livestream Viewers were silent.

[Wait, what is this song about?]

[It sounds like my great-grandmother was talking in her sleep...]

[Negative Emotions +50]

[Negative Emotions +50]

Seeing that no one was talking, the college student assumed it was because he sang well, so he continued singing a second song.

Xu Yi couldn't hold back any longer and said, "I want to ask you first, did you pick up a bottle of Rejoice and start using it?"

The college student looked bewildered. "How did you know?"

"Heh, no wonder. What kind of Rejoice makes you so confident? It's like using gauze to wipe your butt. You've let me down. I'll avoid this one."

[Negative emotions +100]

"You..."

Xu Yi glanced at the college student and said, "Forget it, with your level of comprehension, you probably wouldn't understand even if I explained it."

After saying that, Xu Yi took the microphone from the college student and began singing a cappella.

Those around who heard it were instantly stunned.

"Is this what they mean by 'hidden masters among ordinary people'?"

"His skill level is much better than that of that college student."

After the two songs were finished, thunderous applause erupted around them, and the faces of the college students were as colorful as a rainbow.

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Livestream Viewers were shocked when they heard Xu Yi finish singing, and subsequently posted the video of Xu Yi singing online and promoted it extensively.

[Yi Ge's singing is really good!]

[It sounds even better than the original!]

[Negative Emotions +50]

[Negative Emotions +50]

Xu Yi glanced at the college student indifferently and said, "Being able to sing is nothing special, but you, sigh, gold will always shine, but you're like shards of glass, always reflecting light."

[Negative emotions +100]

Meanwhile, Xu Yi's cover video instantly went viral online. Although he sang well, Xu Yi also faced criticism.

[This is plagiarism, and they're making it sound so nice. What cover song? It's clearly plagiarism!]

[Yeah, someone like that doesn't even deserve to sing! So what if he has a better voice?]

As soon as someone belittled Xu Yi, the Livestream Viewers immediately flooded the chat with comments.

[Yi-ge, someone's questioning you!]

[Yi-ge, hide quickly, the garbage collectors are coming!]

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

Xu Yi didn't pay much attention to the comments online. Meanwhile, more and more netizens entered the Livestream Room and started cursing at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi!

Suddenly a shout came from over; it was Ai Xiaoxing.

What are you doing here?

"I saw that you were covering my song here, and a lot of people online were criticizing you. I happened to be nearby, so I came over."

Ai Xiaoxing solemnly stated, "Some people should stop criticizing Xu Yi. He sang both songs; there's no plagiarism involved. Besides, he sang them very well."

The Livestream Room instantly exploded.

Wow, some people have been proven wrong now, haven't they? Doesn't their face hurt?

[Those things we just agreed on, Baidu might not be able to find you, but Sogou should be able to, understand?]

[Negative emotions +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

The college student was shocked by this scene; he had actually offended a master in the music world!

"Master, I..."

"Shake your head until it's clear before you talk to me. Also, I don't take on apprentices."

[Negative emotions +100]

Seeing that there were no more Emotion Points to exploit, Xu Yi decided to ride away.

"Xu Yi! Wait a minute, take me back to school together." Ai Xiaoxing called out to Xu Yi.

"Hey, campus belle Ai, I'm not going back to school. You go back by yourself."

[Negative emotions +100]

Xu Yi rode his bicycle to Furun Group.

"Uncle Li! I've come to see you!"

"Xiao Yi, what brings you here? Is something the matter?" Li Wen greeted him warmly.

"Uncle Li, it's like this, I want to start an entertainment company, but I have no connections. You know, I don't have parents, and I don't have anyone who can help me..."

[Guilt Points +100]

"Uncle Li, can you help me? I have my own money, I'm working hard to earn it..."

[Guilt Points +100]

"Xiao Yi, Uncle Li will help you. Tell Uncle Li what you need."
