Chapter 107 The Finals in Progress

Mountain Spirit: Because he is a friend of mine.

Through Shan Gui's explanation, Bai Li learned that Shan Gui and Jia Lai had known each other for a long time and could be considered old friends with a deep friendship on the Internet.

Jia Lai has been "venturing" on the internet for even longer than Shan Gui.

However, Jia Lai is really laid-back and a pure internet slacker.

He is clearly an authority in singing and all other aspects, and he is also very interesting and witty.

With his abilities, as long as he is willing to devote himself to the live streaming industry or develop in the voice chat room, there is absolutely no problem for him.

There were plenty of opportunities to make a lot of money in front of him.

However, he still resolutely became a free-spirited "bounty hunter".

They lived a life free from constraints.

In fact, people like him are often the wise ones who truly see through the essence of the world. They know clearly what they truly desire in their hearts and live freely and unrestrained lives.

The little incident during the warm-up song made Bai Li remember Jia Lai for a long time.

After the warm-up session, the final match officially began at the appointed time.

The rules for the finals are also very simple: it will be a head-to-head competition, and the choice is still in Bai Li's hands. Whoever Bai Li likes will advance.

The final top ten were determined, and then Shirai selected the final top three.

During the audition, Jia Lai demonstrated his unique stage presence with a highly interactive freestyle, successfully advancing to the finals.

Everyone thought he would continue his previous style in the final and use the same techniques again.

"Jialai, are you going to do another freestyle?"

"Ahhh, my husband's here! Everyone get out of the way!"

"But it seems like rap isn't very effective in competitions."

"What does it matter if he can fight or not? As long as Boss Bai is happy."

No one expected that Jia Lai would break everyone's expectations this time.

He smiled slightly, without announcing the song title. The moment the familiar intro began, everyone knew they had guessed wrong.

This intro is so classic that anyone who has played League of Legends is familiar with it, and even those who haven't played it have heard of it to some extent.

—It was the theme song "RISE" from the year they won the championship.

The theme song from the year we won the championship.

It must be said that Jia Lai's song selection was extremely astute.

After his opponent chose a melodious love song, he decisively selected this passionate rock song as his PK piece.

A song with strong rock elements and an exciting and uplifting melody can easily overwhelm a melodic love song in terms of momentum, not to mention that "RISE" is a competition song and the whole song is very infectious.

Especially during the climax, the first "rise" jumps by 11 degrees, from the position of the international standard pitch to hing c, and the third "rise" jumps by 12 degrees, creating an extremely strong auditory impact.

—"We are the champions!!!"

"Awesome Plus!"

"No joke, this is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard!"

Despite the song's extreme difficulty, Jia Lai performed it with ease.

His high notes are effortless; he sings each high note steadily and easily with his natural voice. His voice is rich and slightly husky, perfectly blending with the rock style, as if he was born to sing rock.

Shan Gui once said that he had studied rock singing and learned from Jia Lai, and now it seems that what he said was no exaggeration.

At the climax of the song, the screen was filled with comments:

—"Holy crap!"

"Alas, I lack culture; all I can do is 'fuck' all I need to know."

After the song was finished, Bai Li was completely captivated by Jia Lai's performance and had completely forgotten about the previous contestant's song.

The result was obvious: Bai Li chose Jia Lai without any doubt.

Bai Li thought to herself, no wonder Jia Lai is known as the "bounty hunter" in the internet world, he turns out to be an all-around talented singer.

Besides Jia Lai, there are many other excellent contestants who made it to the semi-finals; they all have something special to offer.

For example, the guitarist who sang country folk songs during the auditions was still very refreshing and a breath of fresh air.

There are many outstanding female singers, one of whom amazed Bai Li with her performance.

Bai Li really suspects she's from the national team; she can actually sing Huayin Laoqiang! That high-pitched, passionate, and extremely penetrating voice is just too unfair!

Bai Li likes it.

Direct advancement!

By the second half of the competition, Bai Li was already really into it.

However, a problem arose: some groups had two very strong singers, and Bai Li admired both of their performances, making it difficult to choose.

Especially when it comes to deciding the rankings at the very end.

Every decision made is crucial in determining which contestant will ultimately receive the hefty prize money.

Shirai sighed, "It's really too difficult to choose."

Everyone here is a very talented singer.

But an election must be held.

In the end, she still considered the purpose of her competition: to select a suitable singer for her original songs.

So we had no choice but to choose the one who was most suitable, and send the other off with tears in our eyes.

Finally, the top three were selected.

The first place goes to Jia Lai, who shone brightly and crushed all the other outstanding students.

The second place goes to a professional female singer of Huayin Laoqiang, who consistently delivers high-level performances.

The third place went to a female singer who focuses on original songs. Her final original song was so amazing that it outshone many established singers, allowing her to stand out from the crowd.

These three individuals will receive prizes of 500 million, 100 million, and 50 respectively.

Shan Gui had expected Jia Lai to win the championship, but he never expected that his brother would win the grand prize.

He opened his phone and, sure enough, their old friends' group chat had exploded with activity.

This is a competition that almost all online singers are paying attention to.

So as soon as Jia Lai won the championship, all the old friends in the group who were watching the game live knew about it.

King Yaoshun: Jialai, you can't refuse to treat us to a meal.

Daidai: Jialai is awesome!!!

Pastoral Song: Dig it up, and from now on the Internet will lose a bounty hunter named Jia Lai.

Do you like Zitze? Is it really 500 million? @Jialai, can you share this with me?

Orange Peel: If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other. @Jialai, will I ever see you on the internet again?

Little-footed boy: Do you like male wives? @Jialai classmate

The mountain spirit chuckled. They were indeed a bunch of mischievous friends. Although they were all very concerned about the competition results, when their brother won the award, none of them congratulated him properly. Instead, they just teased him first.

The mountain spirit thought for a moment and then started typing.

Mountain Spirit: @Jialai, I've been putting in a good word for you with the boss for ages, how are you going to thank me? [Lights a cigarette]

Jia Lai: Thank you brothers for your strong support over the years.

Jia Lai: [Red envelope: 500 yuan]

Dear Jia Lai: From now on, let us forget each other and go our separate ways. Let us not worry about the future.

Zitze, do you like it?: 500 million yuan prize money and you only give your brothers 500 yuan red envelopes? Jia Lai? Are you even human?

Daidai: Holy crap, this is the biggest red envelope I've ever seen Jialai give out in my entire life.

Orange peel: [Screenshot]

Orange peel: ? ? ? ? ?

Orange peel: I only have 2.1 yuan? ???

Mountain Ghost:......

Mountain Spirit: The bonus won't be issued so soon.

Mountain Ghost: Jia Lai sent a 500 yuan red envelope because he only had 500 yuan in his wallet.

Jia Lai: Okay, stop it, don't say anymore, or it'll hurt our feelings.

Mountain Spirit: @Jialai, are you free to come to Shanghai recently? My little boss wants to see you.

Jia Lai: ?

Jia Lai: You can come.

Jia Lai: Let me make this clear first, I only sell my art, not my body.

Mountain Ghost:......

Mountain Spirit: [Smiling]

Mountain Spirit: Don't come here.

Jia Lai's current understanding of Shan Gui's situation is still that he is being kept by a sugar daddy.

A cushy job paying 100,000 a month? What ability or virtue does the mountain spirit possess?

Now that the boss of the Mountain Ghost wants to see him, it's hard for Jia Lai not to overthink things.

However, he still agreed to come. He had no choice; the offer was too much—500 million, enough for half a lifetime of wealth and luxury!

If we don't go and meet them, we'll be in trouble if they refuse to give it to us.

------------------------------------

The competition is brutal.

For every winner, there must be a loser.

However, this loss is particularly regrettable. After all, it's like missing out on a huge fortune.

However, being eliminated doesn't mean there's no chance left for the singers; the company's assistant team has already contacted all the contestants.

If Bai Li is willing, she can always connect and collaborate with the seeded players.

For example, there was a male singer who was eliminated. His voice was extremely comfortable and smooth, like a voice kissed by an angel. He was simply a natural-born OST genius.

Unfortunately, his current equipment is far from satisfactory, unable to fully showcase his perfect voice and talent.

Bai Li inquired and found that the best microphone and sound card equipment on the market now costs around ten thousand yuan.

So she no longer worries about whether a guy is good-looking enough; five figures are nothing to her now.

With a wave of his hand, he finalized the deal: "I'll send you a set of equipment. Send your address to my assistant."

Bai Li's awesome behavior sparked another wave of comments:

"Ahhh, Mr. Bai is so generous!!!"

"Holy crap! They just gave away a sound card like that?!"

"Nobody told me that participating in the competition would come with free equipment. Is it too late to sign up now? I also want to be 'fed' by Boss Bai!"

"A true talent scout has appeared in the music industry, I love it!"

There are also those singers who are truly a pity. It's not that they lack ability, but rather that their opponents were too strong, or that their song choices didn't suit Bai Li's taste this time, preventing them from showcasing their strengths.

For singers like these, Bai Li was kind enough to let them stay after the finals, giving them an extra song to showcase their talent once again.

Today's auditory feast attracted countless online viewers, and even after the finals ended, the number of online viewers remained steadily around 80.

For these online singers, singing one more song now means one more opportunity to showcase themselves, and the probability of being seen and liked by more people is also greater.

Perhaps, their musical journey will become smoother because of this extra opportunity.

Besides simply appreciating the songs, Bai Li couldn't help but start nagging and correcting some contestants who misused their voices and used incorrect vocal techniques.

Sometimes, incorrect vocalization can cause great damage to the throat and seriously affect its lifespan.

Bai Li didn't want to see the tragedy of Shan Gui happen to other excellent singers, so while listening to the songs, she would also give a lot of thoughtful and warm suggestions after each contestant finished singing.

Originally, everyone thought Bai Li was just a simple rich businesswoman, but to everyone's surprise, she actually had such profound insights into music.

The SSR entry [Music Master] conceals fame and fortune.

Bai Li wouldn't dare call herself omnipotent, but she can still offer some advice to these young singers who are feeling lost.

She would point out more suitable singing styles based on different singers' styles and vocal characteristics, and would also recommend some songs that were more suitable for their voices, pointing out some feasible directions for them.

And so, Bai Li chatted enthusiastically with the contestants, and time slipped away unnoticed.

When Bai Li felt a little sleepy and yawned, she suddenly came to her senses and was surprised to find that a long time had passed since the end of the semi-finals.

She was suddenly startled, as if she had just remembered something.

Oops!

Is Ying Xiangyang still waiting?

Bai Li quickly exited the music channel and made a video call.

On the phone screen, Ying Xiangyang's displeasure was very obvious.

It has to be said that Ying Xiangyang looks even more handsome with a cold expression.

His nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were pale in color. At this moment, they were slightly pursed, as if he was suppressing some emotion with displeasure.

The lighting around him was dim, only illuminating one side of his face, while the other side was hidden in darkness. The dark glint in his eyes was faint, his expression unreadable, and he stared at Bai Li with a hint of danger.

Behind him was a wall made of dark blue velvet, its delicate texture hidden in the dim light, exuding an understated luxury.

Judging from the background, it seems like he's not in the dormitory.

After the video call was connected, there was a three-second silence.

Bai Li inexplicably felt a sense of tension and pressure. Making conversation, she casually asked, "Where are you?"

Upon hearing Bai Li's question, Ying Xiangyang lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if he were smiling gently, but he did not show his teeth.

Ying Xiangyang did not answer Bai Li's question directly, but instead praised her, "That's great, you can still remember me."

The voice was deep and deliberately drawn out, as if it were being squeezed out from between her teeth. Although it was a compliment, Bai Li didn't feel like she was being praised at all.

Bai Li: ...

This man has finally revealed his true colors!

How could I ignore his sharp tongue just because of his sweet words these past few days?

Feeling caught off guard by the sarcastic remark, Bai Li blinked quickly, feeling guilty, since she had indeed forgotten about him.

But her guilty conscience only lasted for about a second before Bai Li quickly found an excuse to defend herself.

It's only an hour or two late!

Didn't I remember him in the end?

Bai Li quickly came up with an excuse: "I was working just now, and I came to find you as soon as I finished."

Ying Xiangyang narrowed his eyes: "Chatting online with more than twenty male singers for an hour is part of the job?"

Bai Li was momentarily speechless when Ying Xiangyang asked her a question.

It turns out Ying Xiangyang had been watching the live broadcast of the game the whole time.

However, what does it mean to chat with more than twenty male singers for an hour? There were clearly many female singers present as well.

This was clearly a normal musical exchange and discussion, but it turned into something sour and sarcastic in Ying Xiangyang's mouth.

Ying Xiangyang's jealousy was so obvious that it could be heard from the other side of the screen.

Bai Li had no choice but to resort to some deception.

She's incredibly skilled at this.

The skills she had practiced to coax Xiao Hao were also very effective at dealing with Xiang Yang.

Bai Li coaxed Ying Xiangyang with soft words, successfully making his expression soften, then his eyebrows curved, and finally his face full of interest.

Looking at Bai Li's fair face in the video, Ying Xiangyang swallowed hard: "I haven't showered yet either, bathroom... can we shower together?"
