On Friday, Jiang Kan practiced guitar at home for a day.
My daughter-in-law, Xiaojuan, still hadn't come back until almost 8 p.m., and she didn't even get a call.
Well, it looks like this Cold War will last for a long time...
Jiang Kan spent a day practicing "Someone Like Me". He also used his mobile phone to record the climax of his best performance and posted it to his Douyin account.
I have to say that the system is so powerful that a novice who has never touched a guitar in decades can play it so well the first time he comes into contact with it.
He clicked a like next to his video with satisfaction, thus planting a seed of hope.
After all, his Douyin account has always only been viewed by other people. He has never posted a video, so naturally no one follows him.
At the end of the day, not many people saw it, there were only a few likes, and there were only two comments below.
One comment is that the effect is good, buddy. Where did you buy the sound card?
Another one said: "Although lip-syncing is not illegal, you still have to show off, right? You look like a middle-aged man and your voice is so young, who are you kidding?"
Jiang Kan took a look, rolled his eyes and threw the phone aside.
There were blisters on his hands from the strings. After he used a red-hot needle to remove them, he couldn't practice the piano for the time being, so he simply lay on the sofa and turned on the TV. He happened to see the fruit stand that his wife had liked before. A variety show is playing.
"Hey, these kids dance very rhythmically, but why do they feel like someone is pinching their throats when they start singing?"
Jiang Kan was chewing an apple while commenting on the performances of the talent show contestants on TV.
"The guy in yellow is singing off-key. How did he get selected for this show? I can sing better than him!"
"Ding!"
"In view of the host's desire for musical performance, this system issues a new task:
【Woods show in the forest】
Task content: Perform outdoor singing twice within a week, so as to achieve the effect of accumulating fans faster.
The host needs to build his reputation as soon as possible and gain recognition from more people!
Mission reward: a random song treasure chest!
"
"..."
Jiang Kan was stunned.
The movement of chewing the apple also stopped.
Why don't I just complain that some of the talent contestants on these variety shows sing too badly?
Besides, isn’t it an objective reality that I can sing better than them? I can’t say it anymore?
Why did your system suddenly think that I was "craving music performances"? I didn't say that I wanted to participate in a variety show in their place!
"System, my wife hasn't even been coaxed over yet. If she goes out to sing at this time, isn't she looking for trouble?"
The system did not reply.
I don’t know if it doesn’t know how to reply, or if it just doesn’t want to get involved in Jiang Kan’s housework.
But after all, this is the mission of the system itself. Its existence is to serve the host to become a music superstar.
"Well, if you don't complete the task, will there be any punishment?"
After waiting for a long time, the system did not reply, so Jiang Kan asked another question that he was worried about.
"If the host fails to complete this task, he will be punished by "the number of hairs reduced by 1%"!"
"So cruel?"
Jiang Kan was shocked!
An adult has approximately 80,000 to 100,000 hairs.
This 1% is 800 to 1,000 roots!
Although I take good care of my hair, as a middle-aged man, I have been worried about this for a long time!
That's 1,000 hairs lost. Wouldn't it be that if you don't complete a few tasks, you will become bald at a young age?
"Can we discuss it?"
"Yes, the punishment can also be reduced by 1 centimeter in height."
"..."
Jiang Kan was silent.
The height that I was so proud of was reduced by 1 centimeter?
Will it be more difficult to dunk when playing basketball in the future?
"Can I not accept it?"
"no."
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Now that it is bound to the system, you have enjoyed the benefits, but you have to bear the costs yourself.
"Okay, then I have no choice but to accept it. But this time... going secretly? You won't meet Xiaojuan's best friend every time you sing, right?"
"The system only said live broadcast and didn't specify a location, so I can find a remote place, right?"
…
Early the next morning, Yu Kai came by bus.
Jiang Kan asked him why he didn't drive here. He said it was because gas prices had increased recently and his wife asked him not to drive unless necessary for work.
"Oh, do you think we can still live this life..."
With a plum in his mouth, Yu Kai handed over a plastic bag.
"I can't finish the plums my relatives gave me. Can you try them?"
"Hey, you kid, you finally remembered to bring something with you when you came to my house!"
The two of them joked, moved the speakers, fill lights and other things into the elevator, sat down on the first floor and stuffed them into the trunk of Jiang Kan's car.
"Where are you going today?"
Yu Kai sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt.
"Go somewhere far away, Qingcheng Mountain"
"Qingcheng Mountain? Why do you want to go so far away? Aren't there many popular tourist spots in the city?"
Yu Kai turned around and looked seriously at Jiang Kan who was starting the car.
"One of my daughter-in-law's best friends saw my last singing performance and took a photo of it and sent it to her. Let's go to a place far away and play for a while before setting up a stall. I don't believe it's such a coincidence that I can meet her spy. "
"Boom~"
The car started, and Jiang Kan said with a serious face while carefully driving it back and forth on the dark first floor.
"No, she saw it when she saw it, so what happened?"
Yu Kai's brows furrowed tightly and he continued to ask in confusion.
"Her best friend sent her our video, and she thought I was lip-synching. The reason was that I hadn't sung a song in so many years, and she didn't believe I could sing so well."
The car left the basement and finally drove onto the ground. The bright sunlight shone through, dazzling Jiang Kan for a while.
"Then, she felt that I wanted to force herself to become an Internet celebrity, embarrass her, and make Xiaoyuan lose face in front of her classmates."
"Oh, that's it. Then why don't you sing a few lines to her and prove it to her? What's the point?"
Yu Kai also covered his eyes with his hands. The sun was indeed bright today. This was a very rare sunny day for Chengdu, a southwestern city.
"Of course it's nothing, but hasn't she been having a cold war with me these past few days? How can I prove it to her if she doesn't come back home?"
Jiang Kan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"How about I record a cappella song and send it to her?"
"Don't be stupid. If you don't demonstrate it to her in front of her, she won't believe it."
"Why has Xiaojuan become so arrogant in the past few years? I remember she was a girl with a very good personality before, otherwise I wouldn't introduce her to you."
"Come on, any little girl who meets a tall, rich and handsome man like me doesn't have bright eyes. If you are unemployed for several years like me, your wife will turn into a tigress..."
"Hey, are you the one who talks like that? Who is the tigress? My wife loves me so much!"
"Yes, I love you. She hurt you so much last month that you were covered in bruises. I'm not blind..."
The two brothers just chatted together, and the Sihuan Q5 happily drank 92-octane gasoline, and the exhaust pipes chuged towards Qingcheng Mountain.
