He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Chen Hao drove back to the entrance of Yundingfu residential area, but did not go in directly.

He checked the time and estimated that the delivery truck should be arriving soon.

He found a spot near the entrance of the residential area that wouldn't obstruct traffic and parked there, waiting for a while.

Sure enough, less than twenty minutes later, a small van with the music store logo drove up.

Chen Hao got out of the car, confirmed with the truck driver, and then went to the gatekeeper's office to register and explain the situation.

The security guard clearly recognized Chen Hao and politely let him through.

Chen Hao led the way in his Mercedes, with the truck following behind, and slowly drove into the underground parking garage.

After parking the truck, two movers in overalls got out.

Chen Hao led them to the 19th floor via a private elevator.

Upon opening the door, Chen Hao instructed them to temporarily store all their belongings in an unused room.

This room is quite spacious and relatively private, with better soundproofing than the living room, making it perfect for conversion into a simple home recording studio.

It took several trips to move all the boxes and musical instruments, big and small, into the room.

The two porters were exhausted, so Chen Hao gave them a small tip, and they thanked him before leaving.

The door was closed, and the room was piled high with things.

Chen Hao rolled up his sleeves and began to set things up.

He first planned the room layout.

We need to do some soundproofing on the windows (start with heavy curtains and sound-absorbing cotton) to avoid external noise.

The monitor speakers should be placed symmetrically, forming an equilateral triangle with the position where he will be sitting.

The microphone should be positioned away from standing wave points and reflective surfaces in the room.

He has strong hands-on skills, and his master-level musical abilities give him a thorough understanding of various acoustic principles and recording studio setups.

He first hung up the heavy blackout curtains, and then pasted some prepared basic sound-absorbing cotton on the walls and corners.

Next, he began unpacking and assembling the equipment.

Installing the sound card, connecting the computer, debugging the driver, placing the cardioid condenser microphone, setting up the monitor speaker stand... the movements were swift and methodical.

[Ding! Based on professional acoustic knowledge, you planned and set up your personal recording space. Music (Recording Engineering) experience +155.]

[Ding! Proficient in connecting and debugging various professional audio equipment, experience +188.]

Then there are musical instruments.

The timpani needs to be placed in a stable location, and its height and angle adjusted.

Accordions and electric basses are hung on special instrument racks.

Place the MIDI keyboard in the most convenient spot next to your computer desk.

The guitars and piano that were already there have also been slightly repositioned to ensure they are easily accessible and can be recorded when needed.

He also set up a simple "performance corner" in the corner of the room, with a small rug and a comfortable chair, so that he could sit and record while singing or playing melodic instruments.

[Ding! Properly planning the placement and sound recording of various instruments has increased your Music (Arrangement and Production) experience by +175.]

[Ding! A fully functional home recording studio has been initially built. A great sense of accomplishment! Experience +210.]

After nearly two hours of work, a decent-looking simple home recording studio was finally set up.

Although it can't compare to a professional recording studio, it's well-equipped and the acoustic environment has been preliminarily treated, which is enough for him to record high-quality demos and even complete some simple arrangements.

Chen Hao felt a great sense of accomplishment looking at the fruits of his labor.

It will be much more convenient to record songs for my daughter or to record my own works in the future.

Looking at the time, it's almost 1 p.m.

Only then did he realize he was hungry.

Stepping out of the makeshift recording studio, I closed the door, shutting out the "professional atmosphere" inside.

I went to the kitchen, quickly made a bowl of noodles and fried an egg, and that was my makeshift lunch.

After finishing his meal, he went to sit down on the large sofa in the living room to relax.

I suddenly remembered the book "The Adventures of the Chen Family's Daughter in the Mountains and Seas" that I uploaded to Tongxin.com yesterday.

I wonder how the response has been after a day?

He took out his phone and logged into the author backend of Tongxin.com.

He paused slightly when he opened the data page.

Yesterday's subscription revenue: 658 yuan.

Yesterday's tipping income: 512 yuan.

Total income: 1170 yuan.

Earning over a thousand a day?

Chen Hao could hardly believe it.

His book was only uploaded a day ago, and it's still a new work by a new author. Although there are ten stories, only two chapters are available for free.

Wow, so many subscribers and donations?

He quickly opened the comments section and the book details page.

There are already dozens of comments in the comment section:

"The author writes so well! After hearing the first story of 'Jingwei Filling the Sea,' my child kept asking to imitate Jingwei, carrying stones to help fill the sea. It cracked me up! I've already subscribed to the whole series, and I'm asking for more!" (152 likes)

"The story adaptation is very original. It's not a direct copy of mythology, but rather incorporates a child's perspective and modern values. It's morally sound and entertaining. My child loves it, and I enjoy listening to it too. I've given a small tip; keep up the good work, author!" (98 likes)

"My daughter is five years old and is usually very picky about stories, but she listened to this one without blinking and even asked me where 'Sisi' went next. Author, please update soon! I'm begging for more!" (87 likes)

"Beautiful writing, rich imagination, making the dry classical Chinese so vivid—the author has a profound skill! I've already recommended it to my mom group!" (73 likes)

"I've given a tip! I hope the author will keep writing and release a series; we'll definitely follow it!" (65 likes)

……

The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with many people urging for more updates and offering generous rewards as encouragement.

The number of subscribers is also steadily increasing.

Chen Hao felt a surge of joy.

A work created with masterful literary skills is truly extraordinary!

This is only the first day. If we continue to update and word-of-mouth spreads, our income is likely to increase further.

This is much easier and more respectable than his previous job delivering food in all kinds of weather.

Indeed, knowledge (skills) is power, it is wealth.

He was happily reading the comments when his phone suddenly rang.

It was my childhood friend Li Qingshan calling.

As soon as the call connected, Li Qingshan's excited voice came through, so loud that Chen Hao had to hold the phone away from him.

"Haozi! Holy crap! You're amazing! Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

Chen Hao was a little confused by his string of exclamation marks: "Qingshan? What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

"Slow down, Xinghui Entertainment! That stock you shorted yesterday!" Li Qingshan's voice was still excited.

"The market continued to fall at the opening today! It's already down almost 8 points! Since you started shorting, the cumulative drop has been almost 10%!"

Moreover, the reasons for the decline are almost exactly the same as the points you analyzed yesterday!

The news broke this morning that another big-budget film they invested in failed to pass censorship and may have to be reshot or re-shot, which will drastically increase costs!

There's also a rumor that the tax authorities have really started paying attention to their company! You were absolutely right!

Haozi, when did you become so amazing? Did you secretly take some stock market guru as your mentor?
