Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Experience the Plot, Reap the Rewards Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Experience the Plot, Reap the Rewards Tang Song adjusted his sleeping position and covered himself with a blanket. He selected the “Simulation Dungeon Generation Card” and used it immediately. “Swoosh—” The system interface’s glow flowed. A grand concert scene appeared. The lights were dazzling, and glow sticks formed a galaxy. Fireworks burst in the sky, colorful, dreamy, and splendid. Soon, lines of text leaped out. “Dreams are expressions and explorations of the depths of people’s minds. In dreams, you can escape the constraints of reality, travel through time and space, and encounter never-before-seen fantastical scenes. You will enter a free and magical imaginative space filled with limitless possibilities and creativity. Please, Player, express yourself to the fullest.” “April 28, 2023, 22:34 You started your first narrative dungeon.” “Loading storyline...” “Assigning characters...” “Welcome to the narrative dungeon—tomorrow’s superstar.” “As this is the Player’s first dungeon run, the difficulty has been automatically reduced. Please feel free to experience the story.” “About to begin” Then, the screen turned into stardust and disappeared, and a surge of sleepiness attacked him. Tang Song’s body relaxed quickly, his breathing became even and prolonged. ... I was born in an ordinary working-class family; not wealthy but blessed with healthy and harmonious family members. In my third year of primary school, a very cute little girl transferred into my class and ended up being my desk mate. She was very smart, grasped everything the teacher said right away, always scoring full marks in exams, and she could draw, play the piano, and dance. She loved reading books and would occasionally share interesting stories with me. Before I knew it, we had become very good friends. After entering junior high, we went to different schools and had new circles of friends. Our contact gradually decreased, only occasionally meeting each other in libraries, stationery stores, or just on the streets. In high school, we became schoolmates again. Though not in the same class, we often chatted in the playground, stairwells, or under the shade of trees. She was still outstanding, her academic performance always among the top three in the school, while I was just above average. She liked to listen to music while solving math problems, so I used the money I saved to buy a guitar and started teaching myself. Unexpectedly, I found I had a natural musical talent; I played the guitar well and sang well too. In college, we parted ways again, this time with a distance of over 350 kilometers between us. I joined the music club and was exposed to more musical instruments. ... I began trying to write songs, singing them and making videos to upload on a short video APP, which I then shared with her. One entertainment company noticed me, impressed by my musical talent and handsome appearance, hoping to sign me as a singer. I agreed. I loved music and was eager to prove myself, to become a star. After undergoing professional training and guidance, my musical skills improved significantly again. ... I was arranged by my agent to participate in a show called “tomorrow’s superstar.” This was a global music talent show and currently the hottest variety show. She gifted me an expensive guitar, encouraging me to do my best. I smoothly passed the “Initial Selection” and the “Refined Selection,” entering the elimination stage of the Huaxia District, which also meant I could finally appear on screen. I was about to shine in the immensely popular variety show “tomorrow’s superstar!” But the upcoming first round of competition seemed not so simple. I might be eliminated. *********** “Plot Task: Maintain your public persona, smoothly pass the first round of the elimination competition.” “Evaluation criteria: Stage performance ability, personal charm display, and character compatibility.” Tang Song slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his cheeks. The experience he just had felt like living another person’s life, fleeting yet vividly immersive with no sense of disparity. His love for music, immense talent, exceptional vocal qualities, and proficiency in various musical instruments stood out. Especially his guitar skills—professional performance level, ready to form bands and hold concerts. Absolute powerhouse. This was also the reason he managed to stand out from the Huaxia District. However, in the first round of the elimination, he encountered a VIP player. Perhaps fearful of his strength, the agency behind the opponent arranged their group’s match at a music festival in “Sakura Province” through an internal deal. Players perform, and the audience and judges vote. As a province of Huaxia, although everyone could speak Mandarin, “Japanese” as a local dialect was still popular. This VIP player was a local from Sakura Province, adept at singing Japanese songs. “Ding! The Simulation Dungeon Mall is now open, purchases of items and Skill Books are limited to use within this simulation only.” Here it comes! The equipment for the dungeon is finally on sale! Although the opponent is a VIP, I am the master of tricks! In my dreams, I won’t let you bully me! He opened the system interface and entered the newly appeared Simulation Dungeon Mall. He viewed the items in sequence. [Explosive Japanese Song*1]: Use it to obtain the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of one explosive Japanese song, priced at 100,000 yuan. [Japanese Skill Book]: Use it to automatically master Japanese phonetic rules, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, enabling fluent listening, speaking, reading, and writing at a professional translator level, priced at 200,000 yuan. [Recovery Potion*10]: Use it to quickly restore your spirit to optimal condition, helping you better cope with the competition, priced at 300,000 yuan. ... Tang Song didn’t continue to look further, after all, he only had 440,000 yuan in his savings. “Ding! You have acquired [Explosive Japanese Song].” “Ding! You have acquired [Japanese Skill Book].” The previously mentioned 300,000 VAM Money has gone in an instant, and Tang Song felt a bit of pain. But there was no choice, to smoothly clear the simulation, appropriate equipment was necessary. He entered the system’s inventory, selected [Japanese Skill Book], and used it immediately. Tang Song thought briefly, and a myriad of phrases, pronunciations, and grammar immediately popped up in his mind; he could speak fluent Japanese effortlessly. It was a pity that this skill was only temporary and could only be used in this simulation. Otherwise, in the future, he wouldn’t need subtitles when watching anime or sitcoms; he could directly tackle raw versions, enhancing his experience significantly. After reflecting for a while, he selected [Explosive Japanese Song] and used it immediately. In an instant, complete music scores and arrangement details appeared in his mind. With his musical talents from his dreams, he quickly assimilated and understood the song. He picked up the dark brown guitar in the room and casually played and sang a few lines. Both his singing and guitar accompaniment were no less than those of famous singers he had heard in the real world. He gently set the guitar down, walked to the window, and looked out, appreciating the view of the streets of Osaka. Skyscrapers, rail transit, colorful billboards, girls wearing JK uniforms, ubiquitous elements of the second dimension... This dream world, although very different from the real world, also had many similarities. Although he wanted to experience the unique culture of a foreign land and chat with beautiful girls from Sakura Province, considering his current persona, he decided against it. Over the next two days, Tang Song started to play his role according to the established rhythm. The dream world possessed a strange magic, hazy and bizarre, seeming indeed like a beautiful dream, gradually immersing him into the character and letting him experience a genius’s confidence in his field of expertise. Adjusting his mindset, refining the song, vocal training, learning stage presence... Not favored, joked on by judges, ridiculed by opponents, performing the original Japanese song “Lemon,” he ignited the venue and successfully advanced to the next round. ... As the results of the competition were announced. The scene in front of Tang Song instantly froze. The dark brown guitar, the dazzling stage, bright spotlights, and the audience’s cheers, applause, and shouts. “Swipe” the system screen unfolded. [Simulation Dungeon cleared] [Evaluating...] [Overall rating: S (Excellent)] [You have been awarded an attribute reward: comprehension +1] [You have been awarded a language reward: Basic Japanese] [You have been awarded a skill reward: Guitar Playing]
