"Hall-level Music Sign-in System has been signed in for 1095 consecutive days. Sign-in complete. All of the host's music skills have reached Hall-level. This system is about to unbind."
"The previous restriction on the host participating in any activities unrelated to music is now terminated. The host is free to participate in activities."
"To compensate the host for the past three years of life skills, you are gifted 99,999 Treasure Chests. The Treasure Chests contain random items. Only one Treasure Chest can be opened at a time."
"We hope the host can become a musician admired by all. System unbinding, countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
"Ding."
With the final ding, the system in Lin Chudong's mind stopped working.
Three years ago, when he graduated from the Music Academy, a system descended from the heavens and bound itself to him as the Hall-level Music Sign-in System.
Signing in daily would grant him gift packs, and occasionally, skills like [Beginner Piano], [Intermediate Guitar], and [Beginner Music Theory] would be obtained.
In three years, Lin Chudong had gone from a beginner level in music to Hall-level.
Various musical instruments, various music genres, and various things related to music had all reached the pinnacle.
However, his life over these three years had not been easy.
The system prohibited him from participating in any activities unrelated to music, or the sign-in would fail.
It could be said that for the past three years, Lin Chudong had been almost entirely immersed in music, aside from eating, sleeping, and using the restroom.
Every day was filled with rehearsals and performances. While others rested and played in their free time, Lin Chudong could only delve into music, compose songs, and practice his musical instruments.
Thus, in three years, Lin Chudong's band, Da Fei Band, had gained considerable fame.
No one knew Lin Chudong's real name. His stage name, Da Fei, however, had become quite well-known.
Previously, the system did not allow him to participate in commercial activities, so he hadn't even accepted a single advertisement. Now, without the system's constraints, he could spread his wings.
He believed that with his Hall-level musical abilities, he could definitely make Da Fei Band the most famous band in the world!
With the system unbound, Lin Chudong felt a touch of nostalgia for the thrilling days of signing in daily and opening gift packs.
Fortunately, the system hadn't completely disappeared. It had left him with 99,999 Treasure Chests. The system interface in his mind had paused, with only a black Treasure Chest lying quietly in the darkness.
'Logically speaking, my music skills have already reached Hall-level, so the Treasure Chests should contain other life skills, right?'
Lin Chudong felt a sense of anticipation. With a thought, he commanded.
"Open!"
The Treasure Chest stirred slightly. The lock on it slowly opened, and what greeted his eyes was a countdown.
[02:59:59]
It'll be another three hours before it can be activated?
I thought it could be activated anytime, anywhere, without limit. So it has restrictions after all?
Fortunately, the time isn't long. Three hours will pass quickly.
Most importantly, the system has been unbound, and he can participate in commercial activities. The Da Fei Band was too poor before. Besides writing a few hit songs, he didn't contribute much else. Now it's time for everyone to eat well and live comfortably.
Lin Chudong pushed open the lounge door and suddenly a middle-aged man walked towards him.
His hair reached his ears, he had a slightly weathered stubble, and his signature sunglasses showcased his personality as a musician.
He was the keyboardist of the Da Fei Band and the founder of Dafei Studio, Shen Jianbin.
"Old Shen."
Back then, Shen Jianbin was impressed by Lin Chudong's voice, so they collaborated. Later, they grew bigger and bigger, directly establishing a company.
Although Lin Chudong was the lead singer, he wasn't good at running the business. He just wanted to focus on music, so Shen Jianbin naturally became the legal representative.
He still remembered when the two brothers drank and sang together, Shen Jianbin patted his chest and promised, "Good brothers, we'll never part!"
"It doesn't matter who's the boss. You're the lead singer, the music is up to you. The business is up to me."
At this moment, Shen Jianbin had a strange smile on his face. "Da Fei, let's go to the conference room. I have something to discuss."
Da Fei was the stage name Shen Jianbin gave him. People in the industry also called him Da Fei. Few people used his real name.
Lin Chudong nodded and followed him into the conference room.
More than thirty people were standing in the conference room. These were all the members of Dafei Studio, including the interns who had just arrived yesterday.
Lin Chudong smiled and greeted a few people. Since he never participated in commercial activities, he didn't know most people in the company.
He was only familiar with a few people. The drummer, Su Yulin, a very pretty girl with short hair, was his closest friend. Many people rumored they were romantically involved, but in reality, it was just pure friendship, like buddies.
Su Yulin's expression wasn't good at the moment. When she saw Lin Chudong arrive, her hand involuntarily tightened around a pen, just like how she usually held her drumsticks.
The guitarist, Sun Jie, was a promising young guitarist, but his relationship with Lin Chudong was just average.
As the lead guitarist, his guitar skills should have been the highest in the band. However, Lin Chudong's skills far surpassed his, always stealing his thunder. This made Sun Jie very unhappy, feeling like "Why must there be Yu when Liang is already here?"
Sun Jie curled his lips into a playful smile. "Brother Fei is here. Have a seat."
Just as Lin Chudong was about to sit in his usual spot, Shen Jianbin pulled him back.
"Da Fei, sit here. This seat is taken."
Lin Chudong was stunned and frowned slightly, but he still sat down next to him.
Shen Jianbin sat at the head of the conference room table.
"Alright, we're holding a meeting today regarding the renewal of contracts for the Studio's musicians."
"Su Yulin, Sun Jie, have you completed the renewal process for your contracts?"
The two nodded.
The contracts were signed annually, and with the band developing so well, everyone naturally renewed.
Lin Chudong said, "My contract hasn't been signed yet."
Shen Jianbin smiled, "No rush, I'll introduce you to someone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man walked in from outside the door. He was handsome, not losing out to any popular young idol.
"This is Wu Bo, our band's new lead singer."
"Everyone, please give him a round of applause to welcome him!"
Shen Jianbin led the applause, but apart from Sun Jie excitedly joining in, everyone else remained silent, their expressions complicated.
Wu Bo didn't care about the sparse applause. He plopped down in Lin Chudong's original seat and extended his hand, saying.
"Brother Da Fei, sorry, I'm taking your seat as soon as I arrive."
Lin Chudong didn't shake hands with this brat. His eyes were fixed on Shen Jianbin.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Jianbin smiled, his signature sly, old fox-like smile.
"Da Fei, we're not what we used to be. So many people rely on this for a living now, and I have to think about the band's development."
"You don't participate in any commercial activities. You don't go on reality shows, you don't go on 'The Voice' as a mentor, and you don't accept endorsements. So much money slipped through my fingers, and I'm not willing to accept it."
"Therefore, starting today, Wu Bo will take over as the lead singer. You'll be a guitarist in the band."
Sun Jie said, "I'll still be the lead guitarist, and you'll be the rhythm guitarist."
Sun Jie emphasized their roles with a hint of amusement on his face.
Lin Chudong's face darkened.
"Are you firing me?"
