You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

The song "Beauty and a Beat" ended.

After a brief silence, the entire Jiangbei Music Festival venue erupted like a powder keg, bursting into thunderous cheers!

"Holy crap! That's awesome!"

"So cool! His singing is absolutely amazing!"

"Honey, I love you!!!"

The atmosphere below the stage was pushed to a climax. Countless audience members blushed, waved their arms wildly, and screams even drowned out the sound of Zhang Yuan's performance.

Lu Ci placed the microphone back on the metal stand. He looked down at the sea of ​​people below, a smile playing on his lips.

Thank you everyone.

The moment he finished speaking, a voice rang in his ears.

[Main Quest: Youthful Rhapsody, Completed!]

[Task rewards have been distributed:]

1. Obtain the gold attribute "Born Superstar": Whenever you stand on stage or under the spotlight, your personal charm and aura will be doubled, easily evoking emotional resonance from the audience. (Commonly known as: As soon as you step on stage, you'll be the brightest star in the entire venue!) This attribute is permanently equipped.

2. Gain the special skill "Mastery of a Top-Tier Instrument": Whether it's guitar, drums, bass, or keyboard, as long as it's an instrument, you'll reach a master level as soon as you pick it up!

The task was completed after singing only the first song.

All of this was thanks to Zhang Yuan's kind help in changing the prime time slot for him, and also to Lu Ci's ideas when choosing songs.

When Lu Ci learned that he was scheduled to open the show in the afternoon, he decisively chose this very catchy and highly popular song.

His plan at the time was that even if there were too few people at the afternoon show to complete the main task of "5,000 people cheering", as long as someone posted a clip of the live performance of this song online, he would definitely be able to attract a large number of fans and complete the task of "500,000 fans" in the process, so that he wouldn't have worked for nothing.

Later, upon learning that the time had been moved to the peak time of 10 PM, Lu Ci had even less reason to change the song.

With the permanent equipment of the golden tag "Born to be a Superstar", Lu Ci on stage seemed to have gained more charisma.

The cheers that had gradually subsided after the song ended unexpectedly surged again due to the allure of the doubled number of likes.

Lu Ci held the microphone and spoke softly:

"The next song is a representative work by a very talented teacher that I admire."

Lu Ci paused, his gaze sweeping across the room: "It's Liang Bo's piece, 'Appearing and Leaving'."

No sooner had he finished speaking than cheers erupted again!

Soon, soft and soothing accompaniment filled the venue.

With a style completely different from the previous electronic dance music, Lu Ci held the microphone and slowly began to speak.

"You and I should have just gone our separate ways, each to our own good times and our own bad times..."

"Each living their own life freely, existing without any connection..."

The moment she opened her mouth, her singing was like a gentle evening breeze, instantly calming the restlessness that had just filled the room.

"Wow! That sounds amazing!"

"He can handle two songs with such a wide stylistic range perfectly? His singing skills are terrifying!"

"Which top music academy in the country did this guy graduate from? He's so amazing, how come I've never heard of him before?"

The audience was completely immersed in Lu Ci's highly infectious singing voice.

However, just as the song had barely started and the emotions were about to build up, the song was about to begin.

The accompaniment and background music in the live sound system suddenly and completely disappeared without warning.

The musicians at the back of the stage were stunned.

It's important to know that at large music festivals like these, to ensure the best performance, the band's accompaniment usually consists of instruments plus pre-made backing tracks.

Firstly, it's used to cover up mistakes made on stage, and secondly, it's used to add depth to the tone.

The sudden disappearance of the backing notes threw these musicians, who were used to playing with metronomes and consonants, into a panic, and the rhythm of their instruments immediately became noticeably halted and chaotic.

At the same time, Lu Ci, who was standing at the very front of the stage, felt his in-ear monitor go completely silent.

There was no accompaniment, no feedback from my own voice, only the noisy ambient sound of thousands of people outside.

Lu Ci frowned slightly. He raised his hand and ripped off the malfunctioning in-ear monitor from his ear, leaving it hanging around his neck.

Then, he blocked out the musicians' chaotic accompaniment and sang flawlessly, relying solely on his memory.

The audience quickly realized something was wrong.

"Look! He's taken off his in-ear monitor too!"

"There must be something wrong with the equipment! And what's with those musicians? They're playing so terribly."

"What on earth are these organizers doing? What a bunch of amateurs!"

Seeing the commotion below the stage, Zhang Yuan grinned and revealed a smile.

He turned his head and sighed with feigned regret towards Shen Man beside him: "Oh dear, what a pity. Ms. Shen, listen to how well you sang just now, how could the equipment have to malfunction at this crucial moment? Now the entire performance is ruined."

Shen Man looked at Lu Ci, who was isolated and helpless on the stage, and her usually cold brows furrowed tightly.

"Xinghan Media really needs to replace its staff with a new batch of professional employees," Shen Man said coldly.

Zhang Yuan was stunned by this aura, and the smugness on his face couldn't help but fade a bit.

And on the stage at this moment.

Lu Ci continued singing calmly, and the musicians behind him suddenly realized what was happening. They hurriedly caught up, sweating profusely, trying to regain their rhythm.

However, because of the loss of backing tracks and the beat guidance from the master control, it is difficult to get back on track in a short time.

Just then, the song entered its interlude.

Lu Ci turned and walked towards the guitarist behind him: "Give me the guitar."

The guitarist was stunned.

Logically speaking, singers who want to perform on stage will usually bring their own instruments before going on stage.

Who would run over and snatch the accompanist's instrument halfway through a performance?

Besides, can you even play it?!

Seeing his hesitation, Lu Ci glanced at the other musicians behind him, who were now in complete chaos, and quickly said:

"Suddenly there's no accompaniment to refer to, and your rhythm is all messed up? Give me your guitar, and I'll guide them to adjust it."

The guitarist listened to the other person's very professional speech and recalled the other person's performance in the previous song. He subconsciously took off his guitar and handed it to the other person along with the pick.

Lu Ci took the guitar, slung it over his shoulder, and turned back to the microphone stand.

He lowered his head, counting the beats in his mind, and plucked the strings.

As the piano music began, not only was the tone full and rich, but the rhythm of each note was also exceptionally precise.

The musicians, who were initially making hasty adjustments, were able to adjust after hearing the guitar's guidance.

The drums, bass, and keyboard immediately followed the perfect rhythm provided by Lu Ci, making a powerful comeback.

In an instant, the live performance, which was on the verge of collapse, was forcibly pulled back on track by Lu Ci with a borrowed guitar, and even exploded into a more shocking scene than before.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the tens of thousands of spectators below the stage erupted in cheers and screams like a tsunami.

"Amazing! Such a beautiful singer, and so skilled on musical instruments!"

"It would be an injustice if this didn't become a hit!"
