They don't actually think I like them, do they?

In front of me was a short-haired woman dressed in sportswear. Her super-short sports top clearly showed her abs, and the beads of sweat on her neck indicated that she had just finished exercising.

The reason she's called the older sister is not only because of the mature aura she exudes, but also because Nana, wrapped in sportswear... is really big!

“Yes,” Lin Han replied.

"Hello, my name is Bai Feifei, and I live next door to you." The older sister politely extended her hand to Lin Han.

"Hello, my name is Lin Han." Lin Han also extended his hand in response.

For some reason, he always felt that Bai Feifei's speech had a sticky quality.

A bit, like a horse antler worm.

"You look so young, are you just starting college?" Bai Feifei said with a smile.

"Senior year of high school."

"Okay, do you live alone?"

"Correct."

"that....."

Bai Feifei hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"I think I heard piano music coming from your house earlier. Was it you playing?"

"I'm sorry, I'll control the volume in the future!" Lin Han said.

"No need, no need!" Bai Feifei laughed. "Actually, I'm also learning piano, but I'm not very good at it."

054. A fight to the death!

"I see," Lin Han replied politely. "Actually, I'm not very good at playing either."

"You're much better than me, a beginner! May I ask you for advice sometime?" Bai Feifei said.

"Of course." Having lived two lives, Lin Han knew this was just polite talk between neighbors, so he smiled and agreed.

"That's great, let's set a time," Bai Feifei said.

"???"

Lin Han was stunned.

No, sister, this is the first time we've met, isn't it?

How could you be so shameless?!

Seeing Lin Han's instantly frozen expression, Bai Feifei couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm just kidding."

"Oh, oh." Lin Han was embarrassed and gave a "that's about it" look.

"Alright, let's stop chatting now. I still have to teach the students online later." Bai Feifei waved her hand and shrank behind the door.

"Are you a teacher?"

"A dance teacher, huh?" Bai Feifei said with a smile, then closed the door.

I never expected that such a young dance teacher would live across the hall from me.

Lin Han seemed to be deep in thought.

However, based solely on their conversation, Lin Han didn't have a good impression of this teacher.

What's the deal with harassing a high school student?

Lin Han disliked the feeling of being played.

It has already been classified as "mother".

Lin Han returned home, removed her makeup, and then took a shower.

It has to be said that it truly lives up to its reputation as one of the four great sorceries of Asia; even a simple makeup application can produce remarkable results.

Even Xu Hui praised it after seeing it, so its value goes without saying.

However, this is based on the premise that Lin Han already has a good foundation. He had been stuck with that thick bangs and bowl cut by a terrible hairdresser for too long, which made him very insecure about his appearance.

Now, Lin Han might actually be able to become a trainee.

After taking a shower, Lin Han returned to her room. After drying her hair, she collapsed onto the bed.

Then, Lin Han opened Bilibili.

Several days have passed since the start of the second stage of the "Bilibili Folk Singing Contest," and the voting rankings are now clearly visible on the event homepage.

Currently, the top vote-getter is the up-loader "Bafenbao" with a cover of "Cheye" and "Shui Ni" with a total of 344156 votes.

The second place went to the cover versions of "Eternal Flower" and "White as Snow" by the content creator "Leng Yan", with a total of 283478 votes.

Lin Han is ranked third.

Orange Jam's original songs "Lovely Woman" and "Blue and White Porcelain" received a total of 210675 votes.

With only two days left until the competition concludes, such a huge gap is unlikely to be bridged.

This is definitely not because Lin Han didn't try hard enough.

In fact, "Blue and White Porcelain" topped the daily and weekly music charts for three consecutive days, and its data in terms of plays, coins, and collections far surpassed the top two cover versions.

Regarding the data and quality of his work, Lin Han believes he has done his best.

Putting aside the issue of whether or not to cover songs, even if the original singers of the top two songs came, Lin Han felt that they would be no match for him.

But I can't win the vote!

Bafenbao has 526 million followers on Bilibili, while Lengyan has 568 million. Both were among the "Top 100 Bilibili Creators" last year.

For Lin Han, a complete newcomer, to be able to reach third place is already a miracle within a miracle.

The so-called "Bilibili Folk Singing God Competition" is ultimately just a voting contest.

　Whether the singer is from the general public or not is unknown, but someone without fans is definitely going to lose badly.

This singing competition is different from the "ghostly" video competition. In the "ghostly" video competition, most netizens follow many "ghostly" video creators and vote for their favorite videos during the competition.

Music content creators' fans are extremely loyal and generally exhibit some fandom-like traits.

Although Lin Han's rise to fame was short-lived, it made everyone familiar with his songs and drove them crazy for his love songs.

　However, for the audience in these music sections, while they may like the songs, when it comes to matters of principle like "voting," regardless of whether other people's songs are better or not, they still have to support the brothers they follow!

Bilibili knew that this rule was unfair, but it still adopted this approach, and the reason is quite simple.

Whether the final champion has the ability is unknown, but the one with the most viewership is enough.

With a large following, once you sign artists, are you still worried about not making money?

Lin Han had already seen through the true nature of this competition.

On the surface, it's supposed to be about finding "folk masters," but in reality, it doesn't care about talent at all; it only cares about whether someone has a lot of online traffic. To put it bluntly, it's just a game played by capitalists.

It doesn't matter who comes in first place to investors; as long as there's traffic and money to be made, that's enough.

Lin Han was extremely lucky; a complete novice like him actually managed to get into third place.

If this were a singing competition show, Lin Han might even receive a script from the director and stage an inspirational story of a poor boy's rise to success.

Lin Han suddenly felt nauseous.

Unfortunately, in this kind of competition, every vote is cast based on real data.

Those fans who voted also have a reason to say that they support a top 100 content creator, whose talent speaks for itself. They said they voted for him because they thought he sang better, and yet they accused them of being selfish and shameless.

Thinking about this, Lin Han became angrier and angrier, and realized how naive he had been.

He oversimplified everything.

Lin Han believed that as long as he created excellent works and sang songs that everyone could recognize, he could rise to the top and become a high-ranking person in the entertainment industry, and live a happy life from then on.

But in reality, he can't even pass a competition held by a website now.

Not to mention wanting to enter the entertainment industry in the future and participate in singing competitions or talent shows.

This website's voting is a calculated scheme; everyone knows it's about who has the most fans. Once Lin Han gets into the variety show, he won't even know how he's been manipulated and controlled by capital.

Lin Han learned many lessons from this match.

Previously, Lin Han had been pondering how to use the system he possessed to achieve his ideals. Perhaps it would be becoming a singer, composer, agent, or something else.

However, Lin Han is now quite clear about this.

He is determined to become a capitalist and own his own entertainment empire!

However, Lin Han still can't swallow his anger towards Bilibili.

Isn't the banner you're using for this competition supposed to be fairness, impartiality, and finding folk singing stars?

Don't you fans firmly believe that your votes are based on the level of ability?

Since that's the case, even if I don't win the championship, I'll still turn your world upside down!

Lin Han entered the music room and took a deep breath.

He wrote four songs in one go: "Nocturne", "Rice Fragrance", "Stranded" and "Confession Balloon".

And, it was all recorded.

Submit your video to Bilibili!

055. Music Monster Orange Jam

It's late at night, the time when night owls come out to make their moves.

Some anime fans, once under the covers, start staying up all night watching their favorite shows.

Some people who use public toilets will tell their roommates that they are going to the toilet, and then they will stay in the toilet for two hours.

Some summoners insist on winning one game before going to sleep, and then they play all night long.

Some master craftsmen lock their doors, put on headphones, and insist on reading short stories before bed. Then they turn on movies and watch them like TV series. Even while they're watching, their little paws are still restless, always trying to poke at their genitals.

However, when the night owls saw the background notification that "Orange Jam ovo" had been updated, they all got excited.

People who were following the anime stopped watching and quickly logged out, while people squatting on the toilet got so excited that they snapped their excrement in half with their chopsticks, and the master craftsman learned how to stop it on the spot!

Clicking into the feed, the latest update is an original song called "Nocturne".

Wuhu~ This is so fitting for the occasion!

Netizens clicked to play the video.

"A swarm of bloodthirsty ants, attracted by carrion."

"I gaze at the lonely scenery with a blank expression."

Opening Lightning Strike!

It was just the beginning that captivated everyone!

When people listen to songs, the most common keywords are often words with beautiful meanings, such as "happiness," "sea," "sky," and "strength."

Right from the start, there are bloodthirsty ants and carrion, setting the tone for a gloomy atmosphere. The impact is immediate and powerful!

This piece, which combines classical and pop music, has an overall dark and mysterious feel, followed by the chorus.

"I'll play Chopin's Nocturne for you, a tribute to my dead love."

"And I will hide my identity for you, playing the zither under the moonlight~"

"..."

Wow, this is so cool!

This has really excited netizens late at night!

This is no longer a question of whether it's a love song or not; the style of this "Nocturne" is something they've never encountered before.

Classic and mysterious, yet incredibly addictive. Since the 99 war, there hasn't been a song like it!

The word "good" is already the highest praise given by the vast majority of uneducated B-friends!
