Lin Qiqi blinked, "Da Fei? Are you Da Fei?"

With the Director's words, everyone instantly realized, it really was him!

No one noticed before it was mentioned, but once it was said, they realized how much he resembled himself, just like on TV!

"Da Fei, why are you here!"

Everyone eagerly gathered around. Lin Chudong said with a smile, "I'm just here to spectate. I'm Lin Qiqi's fan and wanted an autograph." He could lie without a second thought.

Lin Qiqi's face lit up with joy, "Brother Da Fei is actually my fan! And he's personally teaching me to play and sing. I'm truly honored!"

"No wonder Qiqi learned so quickly. It turns out she had a master guiding her. Learning a song in ten minutes, a professional singer is indeed professional!"

Li Bo said, "Da Fei, can you write a theme song for my next movie?"

"No problem, Brother Bo!"

Lin Chudong naturally wouldn't take such polite words seriously.

The Director walked over and said, "We've heard about Da Fei leaving the band before. We won't inquire about who was right or wrong."

"Da Fei, is this song from the band?"

The Director was being polite, mainly wanting to ask if the song had any copyright.

If it was the copyright of the Da Fei Band, then the song couldn't be broadcast. It would have to be cut later, and they might need to re-record it, replacing Lin Chudong with another amateur. That would be very troublesome, and the show's effect would be poor.

Lin Chudong said, "This song is called Chengdu. The copyright is with me. This is the last song I wrote for the band, but I left before I had a chance to sign the contract."

The Director breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright then. Whatever the outcome, we wish Da Fei well."

"I emphasize again, this reality show has absolutely no script. Running into Da Fei is purely a coincidence."

"At the end of the show, let's all sing Da Fei's new song Chengdu together."

"Super Challenge, this is fate. We'll see you next time!"

Accompanied by melodious music, the recording of the show concluded.

As soon as the cameras were turned off, everyone showed signs of exhaustion. The previously cheerful atmosphere vanished, replaced by quiet.

"Let's grab a drink later. Brother Bo's treating. Da Fei, you coming too?"

Lin Chudong shook his head, "I won't be going. Thanks."

"Okay, then."

Inviting Da Fei was just a formality. After leaving the Da Fei Band, he wasn't even considered a third-tier singer. No one was willing to associate with him.

The entertainment industry is like this. When you're popular, everyone around you is incredibly enthusiastic.

Once your popularity wanes, the attitude of those around you will immediately make you feel the difference.

Lin Chudong was preparing to ride his electric scooter away when Lin Qiqi suddenly ran over.

"Brother Da Fei, I asked the director for a red envelope for you. Don't think it's too little; consider it a good luck charm."

Logically speaking, given Lin Chudong's status participating in a variety show, his appearance fee should have been considerable.

Even for a one-episode cameo, the fee wouldn't be small.

But now that Lin Chudong was no longer with Dafei Studio, the director had no intention of paying him.

It was Lin Qiqi who kindly went to ask for a red envelope. Inside a large envelope, there was probably ten thousand yuan.

Receiving this ten thousand yuan warmed Lin Chudong's heart.

"Thank you. If you need songs written in the future, find me."

A timely help; this ten thousand yuan meant a lot.

Lin Qiqi chuckled, "Okay, I'll trouble you then, Brother Da Fei. Let's add each other on WeChat!"

The two exchanged contact information, and Lin Chudong rode his little electric scooter back to the piano shop.

Lin Chudong also let out a long sigh of relief. The show should air in a few days. By then, his song should be released. If the production team didn't cut all his content, it should have a good effect.

All of this was thanks to the Lucky Card; this Lucky Card had been a great help!

Back at the piano shop, Jia Lu had already left. Under Liang Yin's interrogation, Lin Chudong recounted what happened on the road.

She and Wang Zhi were stunned.

"Is that true? Your Nine-Turned Intestines won first place? Even a Special Grade Chef couldn't beat you? Make me some, I want to try!"

Lin Chudong said, "Are you getting ahead of yourself? Don't think you can boss me around just because you're the boss. I sell my skills, not myself!"

"Hmph, then I'll go on a hunger strike and starve myself to death, making you unemployed!"

"..."

Her train of thought was truly peculiar!

One had to admit that Liang Yin was an absolute genius!

Considering her large chest... pfft! Considering she was the shopkeeper's wife, Lin Chudong cooked a few dishes for her. She ate until her mouth was greasy and repeatedly gave him a thumbs-up. Wang Zhi was so excited he was almost in tears; he finally wouldn't have to eat takeout anymore.

"Alright, you guys eat. I'm going to rest. Oh, right, tell Jia Lu to come early tomorrow. I've found a teacher for her."

"Got it!"

Back in his room, Lin Chudong could finally open the treasure chest. He now realized that musical talent alone wasn't enough to become a top musician.

In this era, capital reigned supreme. It was too difficult to defeat capital with just talent.

Fortunately, he had these heaven-defying treasure chests. He would rely on them.

Treasure Chest, open!

[Purple Treasure Chest x1][Pet Training (Advanced)]

Lin Chudong: ???

Although life skills were diverse, they shouldn't be this outrageous.

What use was a pet training skill to him?

If he could cook, at least he could satisfy his own appetite. But training pets? Was he going to become a beast tamer?

It seemed the items in the treasure chests were quite varied. But it didn't matter. More skills never hurt.

Lin Chudong immediately learned the skill. The information on Pet Training instantly flooded his mind.

Disappointingly, it was still a purple treasure chest.

Open.

[64:59:59]

Although it was still a purple treasure chest, the countdown had become longer, a full 65 hours this time!

If the treasure chest time kept getting longer, then obtaining items would be too slow.

Could it be because he didn't use up his Lucky Card last time, so the system thought he still had items and slowed down?

The system didn't provide detailed explanations, forcing him to figure it out himself?

He couldn't just casually use these two Lucky Cards based on a vague guess, could he?

These items were very useful. He should save them. If the treasure chests opened slowly, so be it. He would wait.

In the evening, Su Yulin replied to the WeChat message he had sent earlier.

"Just finished rehearsing. Should I come find you at nine tomorrow?"

"Mhm, come for breakfast."

"I'll bring it over?"

"No need, I'll do it."

Su Yulin: You'll do it???

"Good night!"

The next morning, Wang Zhi was groggily awakened by the aroma.

"Brother Fei, are you making a Manchu Han Imperial Feast this early in the morning? How much did the shopkeeper's wife pay you!"

Lin Chudong said, "Less nonsense. Su Yulin is coming soon, hurry up and open the door."

Wang Zhi's eyes immediately widened with excitement. "What! Goddess Su is coming? I'll go wash up right away!"

Lin Chudong: ...

Is there any hope for him?

What's wrong with a goddess? She doesn't fancy you anyway.
