Dawn of Tragic Love

The moment Lin Yuan accepted the heart-shaped note.

Gu Lianyin looked as though she wanted to kill someone, jealousy surging within her.

He actually accepted a note from another girl right in front of me.

Was I invisible to him?!

After Lin Yuan took the note, the girl who had handed it to him turned and left shyly.

"Hehe, that girl was pretty," Gu Lianyin said, her words dripping with jealousy.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly. Right in front of her, he opened the heart-shaped note and read its contents aloud.

"Hello, Lin Yuan. I really admire your singing. You're the best singer among everyone I've ever met. May I add you as a friend? Hehe. ^_^"

With that.

The task was complete.

[Congratulations, Host, for completing the choice. You have obtained the Grandmaster Combat Skill!]

In an instant.

All kinds of information about combat flooded into Lin Yuan's mind.

The sheer volume of information gave him a slight headache.

Fortunately, it did not last long and quickly ended.

Lin Yuan had never trained specifically before, so using the Grandmaster Combat Skill would place a tremendous burden on him.

Therefore, he decided to start working out and training!

It might come in handy someday.

Since the task was complete, Lin Yuan tore up the note right in front of Gu Lianyin.

"Why did you tear it up?"

"Because it might make someone feel a little better."

"Who is this someone?"

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Lianyin with a faintly amused smile.

"I'm going back to class, hmph!"

Gu Lianyin felt smug inside, though she pretended to be completely unfazed.

A few days later, Lin Yuan and Gu Lianyin took part in the Campus Singing Competition's top twenty-five to top ten round and successfully advanced.

Their upcoming opponents were all highly capable, so the two of them had to show their true strength.

Lin Yuan was not worried about that. He still had two original songs gifted by the system. He was not afraid of failing to take first place—he was only afraid of failing one of the system's tasks.

He had to become famous across the internet through this Campus Singing Competition.

For that, Lin Yuan decided to ask Lin Qingyue for help.

He asked her to help promote him after his top ten to top three match.

Lin Qingyue readily agreed.

At the same time, she was surprised that Lin Yuan could actually sing.

After watching a video a classmate had recorded of Lin Yuan singing, she was quite astonished.

"Little brother Lin Yuan, you're a pretty good singer. You're much better than some celebrity I know. So, are you interested in joining the entertainment industry? Your big sis will take you under her wing!"

Lin Qingyue sent him that message.

Lin Yuan had considered that question a long time ago.

After thinking it over, he decided against it. The entertainment industry was too chaotic and exhausting; he did not like that kind of environment.

Not long after settling that matter, his elementary school classmate Zheng Xiaoqi sent him a message.

"Lin Yuan, the day of our appointment has arrived. When are you coming over?"

"I've already bought the costume for you. If you dare stand me up, face the consequences yourself!"

Only then did Lin Yuan remember his agreement with Zheng Xiaoqi.

To prepare Lianyin's birthday present, he had agreed to cosplay as an anime character and accompany Zheng Xiaoqi to a convention.

It just so happened to be this Saturday and Sunday, for a total of two days.

"Don't worry. I'll come find you then. I won't run away," Lin Yuan replied.

Zheng Xiaoqi sent an emoji that said, "Pleasure doing business."

The convention was being held at the exhibition center. It was said to be quite large, not some ordinary small-scale convention.

There would also be quite a few well-known uploaders and famous cosplayers attending.

Lin Yuan did not know any of them anyway, so he would just treat it as a chance to have fun.

Three days later.

The top ten to top three round of the Campus Singing Competition began.

Five contestants had already gone onstage to sing.

They were all exceptionally skilled. One of them was a folk singer whose performance was so moving that it felt as though he had gone through several girlfriends to sing such a beautiful song.

"Next up, contestant Gu Lianyin from Class Six, Senior Year Three, will come onstage to perform a song..."

As the host finished speaking, Gu Lianyin silently encouraged herself and slowly walked toward the stage.

"Good luck. Don't be too nervous. You can do it!"

Lin Yuan told her not to be too nervous.

Gu Lianyin nodded and went onstage to sing.

She sang a sweet love song, her voice making people feel an urge to fall in love.

If her current appearance had been her true self, who knew how many more admirers and boys secretly crushing on her there would have been.

When the song ended, the audience burst into applause, and several people cheered.

"Thank you."

Gu Lianyin bowed politely, then stepped off the stage.

"Alright, after enjoying that student's song, the next contestant to perform is also from Class Six, Senior Year Three—Lin Yuan!"

"Today, he will be bringing us an original song of his own, Dawn of Tragic Love."

Lin Yuan went onstage.
