Chapter 8: Turn around, twist your waist, and make a heart shape with your hands~
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and stretched his joints.
Although he's a grown man.
However, the beginner's pack provided by the system slightly enhanced his flexibility, making his movements less stiff.
"Come on, show us!"
Jiang Bai hummed a melody, and his body began to move to the rhythm.
Jump on your left foot, then jump on your right foot.
Turn around and twist your waist.
Wink, sending heart emoji.
If someone were to pass by right now and see a handsome guy in a black T-shirt and cargo pants dancing this kind of girlish dance in the woods, he would probably call the mental hospital non-stop!
This scene.
So beautiful, so stunning!
But Jiang Bai was so engrossed in it that he completely forgot about shame.
He was feeling the point of force exertion in each movement.
He was searching for that light and airy feeling of a young girl.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Jiang Bai danced more and more smoothly, and sang more and more enthusiastically.
Even the hard lines that are usually associated with men become soft at this moment!
however.
He was cool for only three seconds.
Just as Jiang Bai was dancing energetically, preparing for a perfect ending pose...
"Huff... huff... huff..."
A series of heavy breathing sounds broke the rhythm.
Jiang Bai braced himself on his knees, drenched in sweat, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.
My legs felt as heavy as lead.
My throat started to feel hot.
"I can't take it anymore..."
"This...this is so tiring!"
Jiang Bai plopped down on the grass, panting heavily without any regard for his image.
Singing and dancing at the same time, that's definitely a physically demanding job!
Although the system enhanced this body to some extent after the transmigration.
However, the original owner of this body was, after all, an ordinary college student who was also a fragile person who lacked exercise.
To sustain such a high-intensity singing and dancing performance while maintaining proper breath control, one's current physical strength is clearly insufficient.
"You can't even do it after only two tries?"
"When I get on stage, the lights come on, and the tension hits, won't I faint on the spot?"
Jiang Bai was somewhat worried.
Just then.
A familiar, yet slightly gloating, mechanical voice rang out.
[Ding! Host's stamina is detected as being insufficient, failing to meet the basic requirements of an "All-Round Actress".]
To become a future superstar, one needs not only a perfect voice but also abundant physical stamina.
[If you want to shine on stage, how can you be a "real man" for only three seconds?]
Jiang Bai: "..."
Can't you speak properly?
Who's three seconds?
You only last three seconds! Your whole family lasts three seconds!
[Daily exercise task posted: Get fit, start now.]
[Mission Instructions: Please proceed to the track immediately and complete ten laps of jogging.]
[Mission Reward: +1 Stamina]
[Note: This task is a daily must-do. Only through consistent training can you have kidneys of iron...and a strong body.]
Looking at the task panel in front of me.
Jiang Bai's vision went black.
Ten laps?
The playground at the Shanghai Theatre Academy is not large, with a standard lap of 400 meters.
That's 4000 meters!
That's 4 kilometers!
For someone who has just finished dancing and is exhausted like a dead dog, this is nothing short of torture!
"System, can we make a deal?"
"Can we run it tomorrow?"
"I'd even sing 'Love You' ten more times if I had to!"
[Mission countdown begins: 59 minutes 59 seconds...]
[Failure to complete within the time limit will result in a deduction of one million popularity points (a debt).]
"ah--!!!"
A piercing scream tore through the night sky.
Jiang Bai launched himself off the grass.
One million popularity points?
Even if you sold him, you couldn't afford to lose the money!
"Run! Fine, I'll run!"
"The evil capitalist system!"
With tears in his eyes and his legs heavy, Jiang Bai ran wildly toward the playground.
For that million-dollar prize.
In order to avoid owing the system a huge sum of money.
I'm going all out for these ten laps!
……
Shortly after Jiang Bai left the grove.
A soft footstep sound came from behind.
Several stylishly dressed, charismatic young men and women walked over from the other side of the path.
Walking at the front was a girl wearing a tight-fitting workout outfit and with her hair tied in a high ponytail.
She is tall and has a cool and aloof demeanor.
At this moment, however, her face showed a hint of anxiety and confusion.
"strangeness……"
"I clearly heard the sound coming from this side."
The girl stopped and looked around at the empty grass.
The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Where is there even a trace of a person?
A short-haired girl following behind her also scratched her head:
"Yes, I heard it too."
"Although it's a bit far away, I can't hear it very clearly."
"But that singing voice...it's absolutely amazing!"
"The sweetness is incredible! Even I, a girl, feel like falling in love after hearing that!"
Another boy nodded in agreement, looking quite pleased.
"And the melody of that song is so unique."
"Honey, say more sweet nothings...I think that's it?"
"I've never heard this song before!"
"I searched for the lyrics on NetEase Cloud Music and QQ Video, but I couldn't find them at all!"
"In other words, this is very likely an original song!"
Hearing the word "original".
The girl with the ponytail who was leading the group looked even more dejected.
She sighed and kicked a pebble at her feet in frustration.
"What a pity."
"I wish I could find this person."
"The school gave a strict order for this year's welcome party for new students: it had to be of the highest quality."
"I heard that not only school leaders will be attending, but also several industry bigwigs."
"Even the top alumni will return to school."
"Our current program lineup is full of talented people, but it feels like we're missing a trump card that can command the stage and impress everyone."
"That voice just now..."
The girl with the ponytail recalled the stunning moment just now, her eyes filled with longing.
"If we could get her to attend the party."
Even if it's just singing a few lines a cappella.
"It will absolutely blow the audience away!"
The short-haired girl sighed, "Yes, it's such a pity."
"Probably some passing deity."
"Or maybe it's some hidden master we don't know, secretly practicing their voice here."
"Since we can't find anyone, let's just forget about it."
"Let's hurry back to rehearse; there are still a few moves in our dance that we haven't perfected yet."
The group circled around in place a few times, then, unwilling to give up, called out twice, "Is anyone there?"
The only response they received was the chirping of cicadas.
finally.
They could only leave with deep regret and doubt, turning back every few steps.
Meanwhile, on the playground...
A solitary figure is running tirelessly (forced to) under the moonlight.
"Huff... huff..."
"Fifth lap..."
"Master... I'll curse you, you godforsaken bastard..."
"I'm... so tired..."
Jiang Bai was sweating profusely.
He didn't know.
I just sang a few lines off the cue.
It has become the biggest urban legend at the Shanghai Theatre Academy tonight.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
On the playground.
Jiang Bai braced his hands on his knees, feeling as if his lungs had been sprinkled with chili powder, burning with pain.
Sweat dripped from his chin onto the rubber track.
He looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Ten laps..."
"Finally... I finished the run."
Just when he felt that his legs no longer belonged to him, the system notification sound that he both loved and hated finally rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, host!]
[Daily training task completed.]
[Reward: Stamina +1.]
As the notification tone ended, a warm current instantly flowed through my body.
That feeling was wonderful.
The sore muscles felt like they were soaking in warm water; although the fatigue was still there, it was as if a new vitality had been injected into the depths of the body.
His breathing gradually calmed down.
My legs, which were originally heavy, felt much lighter.
"Phew... this system does have some conscience after all."
Jiang Bai straightened up and wiped the sweat from his face.
A thought crossed my mind.
"Open your personal attributes panel."
Swish.
A translucent pale blue light screen, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.
