Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

"Alright... since you're so eager to try it, let's give it a try, Ms. Yutenji."

[Finally, the person in charge of this agency decided to give you a chance. After all, if you become famous, they will also make a lot of money.]

“Thank you, thank you!”

"You're welcome. We're just giving you, Miss Yutenji, a chance. Whether you succeed or not depends on your luck..."

......

[Host, host, it's noon. Do you want to do a simulation?]

"Ah, Teacher Big Cat's simulation, to be honest, doesn't seem very interesting."

Lu Li sighed. He really had no expectations for his simulation of Yutenji Ruomai. They were all adults, and he probably knew what would happen.

[Host, the purpose of simulation is to develop skills, not to have a real relationship. How about doing it? ]

"Okay, what you said makes sense, let's do it. It's true that we need to finish Teacher Da Miao's simulation as soon as possible and replace the next heroine."

[Simulation begins. 】

After living a rather legendary life, you return to the night when Yutenji Wakamu had just joined the band.

You thought about the ending of your previous life with Yutenji Wakamaki. Although you married Yutenji Wakamaki in your previous life, to be honest, your relationship wasn't very good. She was always vegetarian, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and beating the wooden fish. There wasn't much love between you two; it could be said to be in name only.

"It seems my actions in my last life were too radical. I need to be more restrained in this one."

"No, I'm a conservative. I think I was too conservative in my previous life. I could actually be more radical!"

You summarized the reasons for your failure in your previous life and decided to be more conservative in this life and spend more time with Yutenji Wakamu. This way, you two would probably have a good ending in this life.

So you made your preparations, and you planned to make things clear with Yutenji Wakamu in this life.

[However, just when you made the decision, a phone call came.]

The caller's name is Yutiansi Ruomai, and she startles you as soon as she opens her mouth: "Lu Li, do you like me?"

"???"

"what's the situation?"

"Teacher Big Cat actually found out that I like her in the simulator?!"

You are shocked.

【Yutenji Wakamu actually discovered that you like her. 】

[Surprised, you admitted it. You've decided that since he's found out, you'll just go all out and confess your feelings.]

"Yes. Sister Miao Meng, I like you. Can you..."

[However, unfortunately, before you could finish your words, Yutenji Wakamugi's rejection reached your ears.]

【"cannot."】

"Lu Li, let me be clear, I don't like people like you. I have very high standards for my future partner, and you don't meet any of them. So there's no way I could possibly fall in love with you. There's not even the slightest possibility!"

[The other party's attitude was very firm, just like Toyokawa Shoko's determination to announce to Wakaba Mutsu that the weak self was dead.]

"..."

"What a wonderful metaphor!"

[“Really… I’m sorry, Sister Miaomeng.”]

[Hearing the other party's firm refusal, you knew the situation was hopeless and apologized.]

"Well, I'm glad you understand, Lu Li. We're from two different worlds. We can't be together. Also, I'll make it clear to Xiangzi tomorrow that I'm leaving the band," Yutenji Ruomai said to you.

[When you heard that Yutenji Wakami not only rejected you but also wanted to leave the band, you panicked. You had originally thought that even if you couldn't be together, you could still see her, but you didn't expect that she wouldn't even give you that chance.]

"Why? Sister Miao Meng, why are you leaving the band? Is it because of me? Sister Miao Meng, don't worry, you've already told me, so I definitely won't harass you. If you stay in the band..."

[You were interrupted again by Yutenji Wakamugi before you could finish your words.]

“No, it has nothing to do with you. I want to leave the band just because I find that the band is not suitable for me. I want to try other ways.”

【“…”】

You are silent again.

[This time you were silent for a very long time.]

After several minutes, you used up all your strength to speak: "I understand, Sister Miao Meng. I wish you happiness."

[Just like that, this time, the relationship between you and Yutenji Wakamaki ended before it even began. Yutenji Wakamaki didn't even give you a chance to look at her.]

You are very lost.

The next day, you heard Xiangzi announce that Yutenji Wakami had left the band. While announcing Yutenji Wakami's departure, Toyokawa Xiangzi looked at you and said, "Yutenji Wakami has left the band. Now the drummer position is vacant. Lu Li, can you play the drums?"

"Yes. I can."

Yutenji Wakami left, but since she used to be the drummer, you agreed to become the band's new drummer with Toyokawa Shoko.

【After becoming the drummer, Toyokawa Shoko's band officially started running.】

You put your heart into it, because you still couldn't forget Yutenji Wakamugi. You missed her terribly, so you poured all your love for her into your drumming. Naturally, your drumming was flawless, and you even improved rapidly. Before long, you became a flawless drummer.

As you progress, your band slowly develops over time.

You become a famous drummer, you make a lot of money, and your life gets better.

[While your life is getting better, you still haven't forgotten Yutenji Wakamu. You want to find her, but she seems to have disappeared from this world like a stone sinking into the sea. No matter how hard you look, you can't find any information about her.]

You are desperate.

【You gave up.】

[Finally, you married a female fan who had always admired you. The girl's name was Takamatsu Deng.]

"???"

"Why is it the Emperor of Lights?"

You, as an ordinary drummer, lived a very ordinary life with your wife, Deng Takamatsu, and your band.

[Simulation ends. 】

Volume 4: Chapter Go to hell (K)

[Simulation ends. 】

[This simulation has ended. This simulation is rated F.]

[You receive a simulated evaluation from the system: It's a good meal replacement, but it can't be eaten as a full meal.]

[Simulated Settlement: In this simulation, you and your wife, Deng Gaosong, have learned a lot over the years, and you have acquired a new skill - Mineral Identification (Elementary)]

[Mineral Identification (Elementary): A simple introduction to mineralogy. With this skill, you can easily identify common minerals and jade types.]

[Your simulation times +1]

You have obtained a clue: Yutenji Wakamugi's inner voice (Part 3)

Yutenji Wakamu's Voice (Part 3): One of the essential clues for Yutenji Wakamu's perfect ending, and also a prerequisite for entering the next stage of the simulation. [Clue: Seeking profit and avoiding harm, as an adult, she now instinctively distrusts everyone except herself. In her eyes, everything in the world has a price tag, including herself.]

[Settlement Completed]

"F-rank? What kind of frivolous rank is that? So ranks lower than E-rank actually exist?"

[Of course it exists.]

"Damn, I never thought I could get an F rank..."

[Host, it's normal for you to get this level in this simulation. After all, meal replacements can't be truly eaten as meals. Gravity-type meow dreams are good, but they won't fill you up.]

"Need I tell you? I know it doesn't matter how full I am, but Big Cat Teacher has already run away. What can I do? God knows what's wrong with Big Cat Teacher in this simulation. Forget it, it doesn't matter. There shouldn't be many Big Cat simulations left, right?"

【Yes.】

[I just checked. Yutenji Wakami has four valid clues. After you get this one, you only have the last one left. This means that if you can get the clue in the next simulation, you can start the final simulation as soon as the next one.]

"That's okay, it's just two simulations."

"That's all. I'll take a break. I'll call you when I want to play again. Back off."

【learn! 】

......

After signing a contract with an idol agency, you officially begin your idol career.

"You're a bit too old to be an idol, but your looks and your natural popularity make up for it. So even though they weren't very optimistic about you, this agency still found a very capable teacher to guide you."

"You're an internet blogger, and you're used to performing, so you don't have any problems with that aspect. From an idol's perspective, putting aside your so-called dreams, your biggest flaw is your lack of technique."

So you started practicing singing and dancing rap.

You value this opportunity very much, so you practice diligently for one-tenth of a Kun year.

You practiced very hard.

[Your singing, dancing, and rapping abilities have improved considerably.]

【After the practice, your teacher checked your results. 】

"Your practice is okay. You're not an idol, but at least you're at the threshold." This is your teacher's evaluation of you.

Although you're a little unhappy about this kind of evaluation, you also know that you really don't have much talent in this area. Plus, you're a bit old, so getting this kind of evaluation is pretty good.

【"thank you."】

You thanked your teacher sincerely.

"Ms. Yutenji, you don't have to thank me. I just did what I had to do. But I still want to remind you that even if your singing and dancing skills are up to par, I still don't think you can become a qualified idol. Do you understand?" your teacher said to you.

【“I, I know…” You lowered your head. 】

"Of course you know your teacher is right. You've been training in this agency for so long, and you've come into close contact with all kinds of idols. You clearly know the gap between you and them."

[The biggest gap between you is not the so-called skill level, but the mentality. ]

You see, the girls who come to the agency wanting to become idols, regardless of their looks, regardless of their skills, regardless of whether they are rejected by the agency, their eyes are full of passion.

【Dreams. Hopes. The desire to become an idol.】

[You see something called "dreams" in every girl's eyes, but it's something you don't have.]

Maybe those girls aren't as pretty as you, or have as many fans as you, but you could never replicate the smiles they give during interviews. Being an idol is about selling dreams. You deeply understand the meaning of this statement, and you also know that you don't have any dreams. All you have is reality, a desire for money.

Even if you don't have a dream, you still have a chance. After all, you have good qualifications and have passed the training.

"Ms. Yutenji, now that you've completed your training, our agency will arrange your debut. You already have a fan base, so we're planning to have you perform solo for your debut."

This agency is really good to you. They sincerely hope that you will become famous. They have specially arranged a dance for you and prepared a song that is unique to you. They hope that you will become a hit.

You are touched and happy to know the firm's efforts. You swear in your heart that even if you don't have a dream, you will do your best.

You announced your upcoming performance in your fan group and promoted your debut as much as possible through other channels. You hope you're off to a good start.

【A few days later, your performance officially begins.】

Unlike most fringe idol groups that perform in basements, yours is actually a formal small venue. Although the venue is small, it is indeed a formal venue.

[Because this is the first time the spacecraft has been launched and it is mainly for publicity, this performance is free.]

This performance was quite successful. While the small venue wasn't completely full, the attendance was around 70-80 percent. Most of the attendees were fans you'd accumulated from your time as a beauty blogger, and quite a few had heard about the performance through other channels and came to see it.

The agency felt the performance was quite good. Quite a few people came to see the first performance, and the attendance was high. This is a good start.

[So you struck while the iron was hot. In the following month, the agency arranged three more performances for you in different places. These three performances were also free, and the results were also very encouraging.]

"Ms. Yutenji, your fanbase is quite impressive. Four free performances in a row have been very successful. It seems we can start considering formal paid performances."

The head of the agency talked to you and, to be honest, he didn't expect your fanbase to be so strong. He originally thought few people would be interested in seeing you perform, but he didn't expect so many people would be willing to see you even though you didn't have a "dream."

【"good!"】

You're also very happy. Honestly, you didn't expect it to go so smoothly. You never expected the fans you've accumulated as an internet blogger to become the most important part of your transition to idol status.

[And just like that, your first official performance was confirmed.]
