Chapter 105 "A Prank"
Mystic Crystals are special items with the lowest drop rate in dungeons. There are cases where a raid leader can play countless accounts every week without ever seeing a Mystic Crystal. There have even been stories of raid leaders whose morale was shattered by this, leading them to disband their long-established raid groups.
This is the first Mystic Crystal of the Fireworks Troupe, a significant achievement worthy of being recorded in the troupe's history.
A group of members who had boarded the bus had already posted screenshots in the group chat, and immediately a group of group members who had been gloating about not boarding the bus started bombarding the chat with question marks.
Some people immediately stood up and started yelling, "Aaaaaah, I didn't get on the bus!"
One person, exasperated, laughed: "Fine, fine, so it's pitch black when I get in the truck, but when I'm not, it's all about big shipments, huh?"
Then someone countered, "Doesn't that just prove the problem is with you, not the group?"
Of course, the happiest person that night was Lü Zhizhe, because he had reserved all the Xuanjing, and no one else had the right to participate in the distribution.
Chen Sui was quite calm, but it was her first time getting a Xuanjing, and the unpleasantness from the earlier dispute was instantly washed away.
So Chen Sui said in the microphone, "Let's congratulate the boss. Everyone, let's all send a congratulatory message to the boss in the team channel."
Having spent a lot of time with Chen Che, Chen Sui has gained some insights into emotional value. After all, the car's salary basically depends on Qi Chun Ge, so sending a congratulatory message to the boss is perfectly reasonable.
So the team channel was immediately flooded with messages of congratulations to the boss, and Lü Zhizhe was very pleased, sending several emojis in a row.
At this moment, Lü Zhizhe spoke in the team channel: "Team leader, do you mind if I turn on my mic?"
Speaking without the group leader's permission is considered stealing the microphone, but if the group leader agrees, it's not a problem. If the boss wants to speak, no one will object.
"Ahem," Lü Zhizhe cleared his throat as usual, then said in a playful tone, "Everyone, everyone, don't you think that since we finally got a rare gem, and it's our group's first Xuanjing, shouldn't we do something special to celebrate together?"
Upon hearing that there were additional activities, everyone became excited and started posting in the team chat:
"Okay, what does the boss want to see? Pole dancing, Errenzhuan (a traditional Chinese folk art form), breaking stones on one's chest... I don't know any of those!"
Lu Zhizhe laughed and said, "No need for all that. Just a simple song from the troupe leader will do, how about that?"
"Great! The band leader has such a beautiful voice. I've never heard her sing before."
"That's right, that's right. My roommate said before he died that he wanted to hear the band leader sing one last time."
"Waaaaah, leader, please sing me one song! I'd rather die than not hear it just once."
Although the atmosphere was very lively, Chen Sui still felt a little embarrassed. She smiled gently and declined, saying, "Never mind, I can't sing."
Hearing Chen Sui decline, Lü Zhizhe wasn't in a hurry. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Team leader, I won't let you sing for nothing. How about this, the team will get an extra 100,000 yuan in salary for every song you sing? What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, the already lively team channel erupted in even greater excitement. Bao Xuanjing only costs 500,000, but the boss gives the team leader 100,000 for each song he sings. Singing a few more songs would be equivalent to having hazard lights on. He's definitely a rich guy!
The newcomers to the group were still marveling at it, but the veteran members were already used to it; this was the only designated rich and pure guy in their group.
The motivation provided by the gold coins was quite sufficient, and even the previously silent members who had been watching the excitement couldn't hold back any longer and began to plead, "Leader, please sing one song, for the sake of everyone's wages."
Based on the current gold price, 100,000 gold coins for a song is roughly equivalent to a few hundred yuan. In today's popular live streaming shows, it's unlikely that many top spenders would spend a few hundred yuan just to get a female streamer to sing a song.
Of course, Lü Zhizhe's purpose was not to buy tickets for the performance; it was simply to have a good time together. Chen Sui's singing would give everyone extra pay, doubling the fun.
"Sigh..." Chen Sui sighed, "Okay, let me think about what I should sing."
Lu Zhizhe chuckled: "Team leader, don't be in such a hurry. Since it's about everyone's wages, why don't you ask them what songs they want to hear you sing?"
"Okay, what songs do you guys want to hear?" Chen Sui asked over the microphone.
As soon as Chen Sui asked, someone immediately said, "Team Leader, your voice is so sweet, I want to hear you sing a sweet song."
This suggestion was good, and it immediately received a lot of support.
"I want to hear it too! The band leader is a sweet girl, of course she should sing sweet songs~"
"I support it! Boss, you might as well just take me as your sweet mouse!"
Chen Sui smiled and agreed.
The genre is determined, but there are no restrictions on which song it is. Everyone can just let Chen Sui choose the one she can perform well, and it's also fun for everyone to guess which song it is.
A short while later, a familiar yet unfamiliar accompaniment came through the team's microphone, followed by Chen Sui's gentle and sweet singing voice:
I can't find a good reason.
To block all this intimacy,
This feeling is so strange.
I'm sorry I can't explain.
... "
At first, these few lines felt both familiar and unfamiliar, and someone in the team channel asked what song it was.
Clearly, quite a few people have heard of it, and someone immediately replied: "It's the ending theme song of the very popular Taiwanese idol drama 'It Started With a Kiss' from a few years ago, and the song is called 'It Started With a Kiss'."
Idol dramas have always been one of the mainstream genres in the TV drama market, especially for students. If they can't have their own relationships openly, can't they at least watch others have theirs openly?
As a result, idol dramas such as "It Started With a Kiss", "Summer's Desire", "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog", "At Dolphin Bay" and "Meteor Shower" became very popular as soon as they were released.
"It Started With a Kiss" is considered one of the best among them. Although the plot itself is not particularly outlandish, the female lead Yuan Xiangqin, played by Ariel Lin, is simple, cheerful, honest, and straightforward. In particular, her straightforward love-struck nature seems silly, which is the most touching part of her character.
I think I'll start to miss you.
But I just met you.
I suspect this strange encounter was just a prank.
'
When the song reached its climax, the band members even showed their support by sending clapping, heart, and pig-head ice cream emojis in unison in the chat channel.
"Okay, okay, I'm done singing. I didn't sing well, thank you everyone for your support."
"That's all for now, it's time to pay salaries. Thanks to Chunqing Zixia for sponsoring the 100,000 yuan salary." After finishing a song, Chen Sui quickly changed the subject in an attempt to dodge the question.
"Who says the band leader can't sing?! The band leader is the epitome of sweetness!"
"That's right, that's right, band leader, please sing one more song! My roommate suddenly came back to life and said he wants to hear another one."
"Boss, hurry up and unleash your financial power!"
Lu Zhizhe chuckled: "Okay, troupe leader, sing another song, still 100,000. Everyone's wages tonight depend on your performance."
"Great, the boss is generous."
"Team leader, one more sweet song!"
