Get the perfect music system at the start

Xue Laiyi did not object and said, "This song still has your own lyrics and music."

Xu Fan nodded, and Xue Laiyi said, "Tomorrow's Son, sing like this, please begin your performance."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Yang Yuhao stared intently at Xu Fan, eager to see how Xu Fan's new song would turn out. He wasn't afraid of losing, but after preparing for so long, he genuinely wanted to win.

The chat room was still lively, but there was more anticipation than anything else.

Xu Fan picked up the rented guitar, gently plucked the strings, then slightly moved the phone camera to include himself and the guitar in the frame before offering a slight smile.

The next second, a pleasant whistle rang out.

Xu Fan closed his eyes slightly, feeling as if he had returned to the day he first obtained the system.

He sat alone in the park, feeling lost and disillusioned after graduation, and unconsciously sang this song after receiving it.

He wasn't whistling then, but when the melody came, he was completely absorbed in it.

After the whistling ended, Xu Fan began to sing.

"Someone as outstanding as me should have lived a brilliant life, but after more than 20 years, I'm still just drifting in the sea of ​​people."

With just one sentence, everyone present was stunned, and for some reason, their mood suddenly became heavy.

Yang Xiaomi's gaze was fixed on Xu Fan in the video. Although he was far away, he seemed to be right in front of her.

He subconsciously thought of Xu Fan's song "Sorrow," and then was brought back to it by Xu Fan's lyrics. One line of lyrics was so heartbreaking.

Xue Laiyi sat up straight in shock. How could someone as outstanding as me still be struggling in life after more than 20 years? Xue Laiyi took a deep breath and listened quietly to Xu Fan singing.

"How many people like me, who are lost, who are searching, who are doing nothing, have you seen?"

When Xu Fan's voice fell, every lyric was so heartbreaking, especially the three consecutive lines about people like me, followed by the line "How many more people have you seen?" This instantly brought tears to the eyes of countless netizens.

Yang Xiaomi rested her chin on her hands, her eyes already red, and tears fell unconsciously. She gently wiped them away, realizing that this song truly pierced her heart.

At the "The Coming One" event, the audience was incredibly quiet. Xu Fan's singing resumed, and a whistle rang out again from the middle of the show. The feeling it evoked was so profound, it was like being pricked by needles.

The audience members held their glow sticks quietly and waved them to the whistling melody.

The emotions and venting of the audience in the live stream were already palpable.

"What's wrong with me? Why did I start crying while listening to this? How lost have I been for the past twenty-odd years?"

"Superstar, I'm suddenly starting to dislike you. You've made me cry more than once, sob sob."

"Mountains and seas rise and fall, all living beings are but mortals, and I am but a mortal in this world."

“I’m not unhappy, I don’t have any psychological trauma, and I haven’t suffered much hardship. It’s just that my life has been a bit bumpy. But just living in this world is already very difficult.”

"Someone like me, even if I'm a fool, is unique!"

"In the end, you and I are so ordinary that we consider ourselves extraordinary. One day, we'll become people who surprise those who like us and impress those who dislike us."

The live stream chat was buzzing with excitement. Most viewers were drawn into a somber atmosphere by the melancholic melody, perhaps reflecting on their own lack of achievement over the past twenty years, or perhaps on their hardships and resentments, and were overcome with sadness.

Xu Fan's songs remain the same.

"Someone as ordinary as me, who never likes to pretend to be profound, somehow finds himself momentarily lost in thought when he hears old songs."

How many people in the world are like me—lonely, foolish, and unwilling to be ordinary?

"Will anyone feel sorry for someone as inexplicably strange as me?"

After the last sentence was uttered, the scene was so quiet that the sound of falling leaves could be heard.

Xu Fan sat there in silence for a long time, because he himself had been drawn into that indescribable feeling by the song, which had long since resonated with people.

Without a system, where would someone like me be now?

I am currently in the country of Gran to treat my mother's illness. Without a systematic approach, I will achieve nothing, and how can I control my mother's condition?

People like me are used to seeing life and death in hospitals, but I still can't face the pain that would come if my mother's condition worsened.

How many people like me are there in the world?

In fact, these questions, more or less, the same or different, are questions that everyone asks themselves. These past twenty years have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, and it really feels a bit dazed.

Applause finally broke out.

At first, it was scattered and sporadic, then it began to converge, like small streams gathering into a vast ocean, and thunderous applause erupted.

Like a thunderous explosion, the atmosphere at the scene was unparalleled.

The live stream was flooded with countless "666" and "I love you" messages.

Xu Fan was far away in Gran Country, but he could still see the footage clearly, and he smiled sincerely.

He was laughing so happily that all the viewers couldn't help but laugh as well.

That's a very good point. Even though the past twenty years haven't been easy, you are unique in this world, and you are one of a kind.

Zhang Dada finally came to his senses and said to the camera: "Xu Fan, an ordinary person, his 'Xiao Chou' made me cry several times, and his 'When You Are Old' made me feel deeply moved. Tonight, he brought us a song 'A Person Like Me'. Yes, a person like me, how did I spend the past twenty years like this? Time flies, it's gone in the blink of an eye. Let's give Xu Fan a warm round of applause once again."

As soon as the sound faded, applause erupted. Even the netizens watching the live stream subconsciously wanted to clap, even though they knew Xu Fan couldn't hear it.

They simply liked the song because it deserved applause.

As the applause subsided, Zhang Dada said, "The battle for advancement in Tomorrow's Son has begun. Yang Yuhao's original song showed us that his strength should not be underestimated, but Xu Fan's song showed us what it means to resonate deeply with people. I will not make a judgment; I have no answer here. Please leave the answer to our three star mentors."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Dada suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I just received news that we have a fan 'light-up' event tonight. Amateur superstar Xu Fan has received two million fan support, and the 'light-up' was successful. Congratulations to Xu Fan."

===Chapter 88 Voluntary Abandonment (Paying Back the Updates Owed Before the Fourth Update)===

"Fans 'blowing the light' on The Coming One" refers to the level of support fans give to contestants after the live broadcast starts, such as when a contestant breaks through the million-level mark (e.g., 20,000, 4 million, etc.). This is a way to encourage the contestant.

After Xu Fan finished singing "A Person Like Me," he was the first to receive a "light-up" (a positive response from the audience), proving his talent.

Zhang Dada excitedly announced the result, but Xu Fan did not react at all; he remained seated, waiting for the results.

He didn't think he would lose, but he also knew that Yang Yuhao's performance tonight was also outstanding.

Although Zhang Dada seems to have high hopes for himself, as he said, he has no decision-making power.

The decision rests with the three star judges.

Looking at Xu Fan in the camera lens and Yang Yuhao not far away beside her, Yang Xiaomi was on the verge of collapse. Of course he thought highly of Xu Fan. She really liked Xu Fan. Whether it was this song or other songs, every single one of them touched her heart. How could she not like him?

Yang Yuhao truly delivered an exceptional performance tonight; both the lyrics and the music were classic, making the choice incredibly difficult.

But in reality, she knew very well that she already had the answer; she just didn't know how to bring herself to say it.

The camera focused on her, and she tried to speak several times, but in the end, she still didn't know what to say.

Both the audience at the venue and those watching the live stream were waiting for her answer. She finally took a deep breath, looked at Yang Yuhao, and said, "Yuhao, you were really excellent tonight, but I'm sorry, Xu Fan's song was really good."

This is the answer.

Li Jiachen didn't give a reason, nor did he apologize. He simply stood there expressionless and said, "Yang Yuhao."

This answer was quite unexpected, and everyone, both at the scene and in the live broadcast room, found it hard to believe.

But Li Jiachen didn't offer any explanation; that was the answer.

The final answer lies with Xue Laiyi, but everyone knows that Xue Laiyi's answer is already clear.

Yang Yuhao stood there, knowing full well that he had lost.

It wasn't that he lost to Xue Laiyi, but rather that he listened to Xu Fan's song carefully and knew he couldn't compare.

Despite his best efforts, he still failed.

If this were a martial arts world, Xu Fan would have mastered the Vajra Body technique, becoming an invincible legend.

Only then did everyone realize that Li Jiachen's vote actually had no effect.

Perhaps they did that just to save face for Yang Yuhao.

But this seems somewhat unfair, though I have only made occasional comments.

Xue Laiyi's answer was the answer everyone had in mind. No one complained or questioned it because it was all too normal.

Xue Laiyi declared Xu Fan the winner, and the others then began to continue the challenge.

The little box chose Ma Boxian and lost.

Ma Boxian chose Cui Zhixuan, and lost.

Cui Zhixuan did not choose Xu Fan, but instead chose Zhang Xiangchen, who was ranked last. This answer was both unexpected and expected.

When the first round of the competition ended, Cui Zhixuan had already won two rounds very steadily.

Conversely, Zhang Xiangchen was eliminated first after losing two rounds in a row.

Looking at the answer, Zhang Dada spoke again: "The competition will continue. Next, because the rules are fixed, our amateur superstar Xu Fan will directly engage in the ultimate battle with Wang Shengyi."

Each person participates in two rounds of the competition, and so far, almost everyone has participated in two rounds.

Xu Fan, currently ranked number one on the popularity charts, has yet to have the opportunity to challenge anyone else.

Because in the end, only Wang Shengyi and him were left who hadn't participated in the last two rounds of the competition.

Wang Shengyi couldn't help but shake his head, but he would never give up.

He behaved very appropriately and simply in front of the audience both at the venue and in the live broadcast room.

A simple cover song stirred up many people's emotions, but it wasn't exactly amazing.

The stage returned to Xu Fan's camera lens.

It was night in China, but sunlight streamed into the room through the windows of Gran.

The live stream was a little too bright, so Xu Fan moved the camera slightly and then got up to draw the curtains.

Xu Fan is probably the only person who can participate in a competition with such ease.

Zhang Dada said, "Xu Fan, tonight you brought us a song called 'A Person Like Me.' The rules tell us that you need to win another round to enter the next round of the competition. Of course, you can also choose to refuse. The judges will score you based on a comparison between your previous song and Wang Shengyi's song just now."

In fact, everyone knew that Xu Fan didn't need to make any moves at this point.

But for some reason, everyone was hoping that Xu Fan would sing another song.

It's not that I lack confidence in Xu Fan, but listening to Xu Fan's songs is a pure enjoyment.

It's like, even though we know Xu Fan will win, we still want to hear him sing a few more lines.
