29 Chapter 28 [The Ease & Joy of a Popular Live-Streamer Making Money!]

With just one sentence, everyone present was instantly drawn into the song.

The guitar was played flawlessly, while the clear and beautiful singing voice was accompanied by a subtle touch of reverb.

This momentarily convinced everyone that they were listening to a pristine CD, not a live performance.

"Oh my God, it sounds so nice. Is he really singing and playing the guitar all by himself?"

"I definitely didn't expect the anchor to sing so beautifully."

"Oh God, it turns out that the streamer was simply faking when he sang out of tune in the past?"

"Oh, my God, I was about to quit as soon as he started singing, but it sounds so good, it's giving me goosebumps."

"I feel like I'm struck by lightning. With this level of skill, it's completely possible to perform directly on the big stage!"

"..."

Just one lyric came out and the audience was clean bowled. They sent comments one after another to express their mood at this moment.

Moreover, the several teenagers at the scene were also shocked silly by Han Haocheng's top-notch performance.

Bewildered, a few of them looked at each other, as if they were saying with their eyes:

'Goodness, this guy, how are his singing skills so awesome?'

Even the head of these young men smiled and gave a thumbs-up.

The girl standing behind the tattooed boss looked at Han Haocheng, and her eyes lit up. It was as clear as day that she was impressed by his singing.

Initially, she considered Han Haocheng as a tall, handsome young man who appeared somewhat mature and was quite courageous enough to come over and confess his feelings directly.

Currently, she had added another aspect to her perception of Han Haocheng: he was a highly skilled guitarist with a great singing voice.

Han Haocheng now possessed professional-level guitar and singing skills, as soon as he touched the guitar, every cell in his body felt the beat.

He continued to sing with emotion:

"You look fine, but your heart… broken countless times,

I won't give up, and become the captive of war (of love.)"

After these lyrics were sung, Han Haocheng quickly played a high octave on his guitar.

Since he was singing and playing by himself, when he reached this part of the song, he added an extra instrumental section, instead of singing the chorus.

Consequently, the people in the live-stream room couldn't help but laugh and post barrages of comments:

"Pfft...can't he sing the chorus? Hahaha!"

"I guess he really can't. I thought he was a king, but it turns out he's just a golden contestant who can only sing the main song well, haha!"

"This song is different from other songs. The high pitch must be topped. If the pitch is lowered, it loses its charm."

"Indeed, the most important thing about the song 'Conquer' is the chorus. It has to be intense and powerful, causing the listener to have the feeling of being suddenly conquered!"

"Yeah, if you don't sing well in the chorus, no matter how good you sing the other parts, it's all in vain!"

"The true level of skill was exposed in a single second. I thought a miracle was about to happen, but it turns out you only practised the main part of the song seriously? Well, even I can do that!"

"This impromptu guitar improvisation is truly well played, but if you don't know how to sing the chorus, I can only say that you barely saved your face!"

"..."

The audience exchanged comments back and forth.

Meanwhile, the animated young men at the scene couldn't help but smirk.

Although they were young and not very familiar with the 'aesthetic perspective' of the female singer La Ziying, whose song 'Conquer' had a notoriously challenging chorus, it didn't mean that just because they had never eaten pork, they hadn't seen pigs running around.

Obviously, these guys had heard the chorus of this song to some extent and knew the general melody of this song.

(E.N: I'm confused right now.. There is no female chinese singer named 'La ziying,' but there is a female singer named 'Na Ying.'

She sang a song called 'Zheng Fu.' I searched for and posted the lyrics of this song.

The twist is that the song 'Zheng Fu' in english can be called "Conquest," or "Conquer."

Plus, It's a 1998 song, but it's a cover.

I don't know who song the original, but this is the closest thing I got.)

So when these delinquents saw that Han Haocheng did not sing the chorus directly, but continued to play the guitar for a while, they couldn't help but exchange glances.

It was another round of eye contact, but clearly, it was entirely different from the previous shock.

This time, when everyone looked at each other, they shook their heads slightly, as if saying:

'Is that all? It seems like we overestimated him.'

'The guitar sounds nice, but if you can't hit the high notes, isn't it all in vain?'

'If we wait a little longer, will there be a lower octave version of 'Conquest' in the chorus?'

Thinking so, all of them displayed expressions as if they were watching a joke.

...

Finally, Han Haocheng's passionate guitar solo came to an end. Without pause or hesitation, he immediately began singing with a powerful and resonant voice:

"Conquered by you like this,

There's no turning back (for me)

My heart is firm, (but)

My decisions are muddled..." [E.N: The translation of lyrics(including the previous ones) isn't that accurate, If you're interested, search for 'Zheng Fu' by 'Na Ying', it's a nice song.]

The first chorus burst into perfection at the scene, instantly erasing the expressions of those who were ready to make fun of him.

Everyone's eyes widened, their mouths agape, unable to believe what they were witnessing!

Nevertheless, the singing didn't cease; it continued, still carried by an impassioned high-octave voice.

"Conquered by you like this

(I) drink down the poison you prepared (for me)

My story has ended

My love and hate have been buried!!"

For two consecutive choruses, Han Haocheng performed at a super level, beyond everybody's expectations, leaving those at the scene and in the live broadcast room wide awake.

People took a while to come back to their senses.

Overwhelmed by shock, they directly began spamming the live-stream chat:

"Damn it! That's awesome, he sings better than Laziying!"

"Holy cr*p, I'm not very cultured, so all I can say is one word, 'F*ck,' to get around the world. I really can't find any other adjectives."

"I can only use two characters to describe it, that is: (完美) perfect!"

"Absolutely astonishing, as I listened, my scalp went numb from shock!"

"..."

Waves of shocked emotions rose one after another, and the comments flooded in like a thunderstorm.

"I thought that the host added a guitar section to mask the deficiencies in his singing, but now it seems that it was geared towards enriching the atmosphere."

"Indeed, his singing talents are just as impressive as his guitar skills! The guitar solo perfectly complemented his vocals."

"Damn it! I was already fully prepared to laugh at the streamer, yet how was he so astounding that my jaw dropped to the floor?"

"I had already typed out the words to mock you, about to say, 'If you can't play and sing together, then don't, just focus on playing the guitar.' However, as soon as the chorus came out, I instantly deleted what I wrote!"

"Quick, hurry everyone, help me look, where did my jaw fall? Has anyone stepped on it?"

"This is, bar none, the best live version of 'Conquer' I've ever heard! It's incredible!"

"Big thumbs up! I immediately became a fan, the anchor is so awesome, let me send my love with a rocket!"

"Won't say anything, simply let me send ten consecutive planes!"

"Brother Haocheng, I apologize for looking down on you earlier. Here's a treasure map. Please accept it!"

"..."

The audience was waiting for Han Haocheng to break his voice.

Instead, not only did he not break his voice, he also flawlessly delivered the high notes of this chorus without resorting to falsetto.

This authentic vocal performance thrilled and astonished many viewers.

Everyone posted comments to express their surprise.

At the same time, many viewers also began sending gifts in the livestream.

Han Haocheng casually glanced at the gifts and found that just this wave had already earned him four to five thousand yuan in gifts.

While not a huge sum, it was enough to cover a month's salary for an average worker.

He hadn't expected to receive so many gifts during this impromptu encore performance.

As he looked at the nearly 60,000 people in the live broadcast room, Han Haocheng finally experienced the ease and joy of a popular live-streamer making money.

He couldn't help but feel much better again.
