Chapter 1 Xu Jinyan
"I'm so handsome!!"
Xu Jinyan wiped the water droplets off her face with a towel and sighed sincerely as she looked in the mirror.
Hanging the towel aside, he looked at the face that bore a striking resemblance to his past life and gradually accepted the truth.
—This isn't a dream, I've actually transmigrated.
He only remembered that he was with a client, had just shown off a bottle, and was about to perform a "three bites a pig" routine when he suddenly lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of someone with the same name, "Xu Jinyan." He had to admit that he was very excited to be able to start a new chapter in his life.
He had no relatives left on Earth; his parents had died early, and his only grandfather had passed away after he was able to support himself.
As for himself, he is just an ordinary Shandong native.
His days were a repetitive cycle of overtime, late nights, and drinking with clients. Now, given a second chance at life, and facing this ambiguous world, he has already made the most meticulous career plan:
—Let's just say it, he wants to be a star!
On one hand, "Xu Jinyan" is a third-year student majoring in composition at the Oriental Drama Academy, one of the four major art colleges in China, and is the absolute top student in her major;
On the other hand, the original owner's father was an associate professor in the vocal performance department of this art college. He gave him scientific training from a young age, starting by blindfolding him to distinguish animal sounds, and then to accurately anchoring absolute pitch and then performing chord analysis, which helped him develop the ability of absolute pitch.
That's perfect pitch! In his memory, only three people possess this ability: Zhou Jielun, Akiba Reiko, and Edogawa Conan.
It can be seen.
Of course, there's another crucial reason why he wants to be a star: he has a cheat code!
With a thought, light flickered before his eyes, and a black-and-white interface appeared in his vision:
[Host: Xu Jinyan]
【Characteristics: None】
Positive sentiment score: 0
Negative sentiment score: 0
【Skill:
Singing skills: Specialized (3930/6000);
Piano: Profession (1240/3000);
Cooking Skills: Beginner (660/1000);
Car Driving: Beginner (650/1000)
[Note: The system can absorb both positive and negative emotions generated towards the host. For every 10,000 points of positive and 10,000 points of negative emotion consumed, one experience point will be added to the host's mastered skills.]
Looking at the system interface, Xu Jinyan couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. See? It's not that he desperately wanted to be a star, but there's no profession more suited to the system than being a star. It's all thanks to his cheat code.
Abbreviated as "Guabi".
He tried it briefly after binding with the system, and four skills appeared in the skill list. It seemed that each skill could be roughly divided into several levels: beginner, professional, and master. Obviously, there were higher levels, but he couldn't reach them yet. However, the future is promising!
Looking at himself in the mirror again, he had fair skin, bright and clear eyes, and more importantly, a handsome bone structure and striking features. He possessed a cool and composed demeanor. He was 184 cm tall with a well-proportioned figure—about the average for a transmigrator.
As I stepped out of the bathroom, I saw my three other roommates chatting.
Xu Jinyan stepped forward, smiled slightly, and exclaimed, "I'm so glad you can see my face so often."
Everyone: "..."
[Negative emotions from Kong Chun: +18];
[Negative emotions from Pang Lei: +25];
[Positive emotions from Han: +39];
【ding dong】
Looking at the first three messages on the system interface, Xu Jinyan's smile, which had just blossomed, froze. How could she still have positive emotions?
Is this dormitory still habitable?
He glanced over casually, thankfully not seeing the look that sent chills down his spine.
Yu Han then spoke up, his voice filled with emotion and envy, saying, "Jinyan, you have such a good attitude. The semi-finals are just around the corner, and you've already lost the copyright to your song, yet you can still laugh."
Oh, so that's why. He said that although this dormitory is a combined dormitory with students from different majors, they still maintain a good "parent-child" relationship.
It's no wonder that Kong Chun and Pang Lei didn't react much just now. Normally, they would have discussed the ethical issue of "who calls whom 'dad'".
The reason is that the semi-finals of the annual campus singer competition organized by "Zhiyin.com" are about to be held. Unlike previous years, the organizers suddenly announced half a month ago that the semi-finalists must sing original songs.
To be honest, every singer has tried writing songs before.
However, at a club gathering last week, the original owner was persuaded by some jerk to sing a song that wasn't finished yet. As a result, it was recorded and the copyright was applied for in advance. When the original owner finally finished everything and went to apply for the copyright yesterday, it was rejected. In other words, the song had nothing to do with him anymore.
Today, China's comprehensive national strength has become the world's number one, and its economic foundation determines that the development of many industries is more standardized. Copyright, as the most important asset of a creator, is protected with extreme strictness.
So the original owner just gave up and thought, "Whatever, it's like this." He called his friends to go drinking, venting his grievances and dissatisfaction. He slept until noon the next day and became a completely different person.
With these thoughts in mind, Xu Jinyan casually replied with a laugh, "What can we do? Stop living?"
Yu Han felt a bit conflicted upon hearing this. He had already worked on film sets and played some supporting roles, but some of his roles were replaced at the last minute. One of the TV series became a hit, and the role that had been taken from him also attracted some attention, which made him feel depressed for a long time.
He knew that opportunities were limited, and Xu Jinyan had missed this one; who knew what else might be missed?
At this moment, Pang Lei also angrily cursed, "Wang Yiming, that Bi Yang is really cunning. He actually recorded that for Miao."
grace!
"Yeah, who would have thought? We don't usually have any conflicts." Xu Jinyan remembered that the two of them didn't really have any conflicts, though it's also possible that she just couldn't stand seeing others do well.
But if none of those are the case, then it can only mean that he's blocking the way in this competition, and he's going to get kicked out.
This annual campus singing competition is highly prestigious. As the country invests more attention in the cultural and entertainment industry in the new century, children who receive dual-track education in culture and art are gradually growing up. Naturally, this has become a stage to test their achievements, as well as a stage that attracts attention and is suitable for newcomers to debut.
Recalling the five contestants who made it to the semifinals this year, Xu Jinyan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This lineup was quite interesting. He "knew" three of the other four: Hua Chenyu, Tian Xiwei, and Zhang Bichen.
Apart from a boy named Meng Wen, aren't the other three all celebrities on Earth? It's just that Tian Xiwei was an actress in her previous life, but now she's debuting as a singer.
The world has indeed changed! His opponents have come together due to the interference of the timeline, and the most threatening one should be Hua Chenyu.
To be fair, no matter how abstract his work is, his creative talent is still strong.
As for how he will handle the upcoming matches?
Right, he thought he heard a system notification just now, but he hadn't had a chance to check it yet. With a thought, the interface opened:
[Host: Xu Jinyan]
【Feature: Memory Palace】
Positive sentiment score: 43
Negative sentiment score: 39
【Skill:……】
【ding dong】
The system detected that the host received 1 point of positive emotion value and 1 point of negative emotion value.
[Unlock Feature: Memory Palace]
[Emotional value required to unlock the next feature: 1 points of positive emotion and 1 points of negative emotion]
With the unlocking of the [Memory Palace] feature, Xu Jinyan immediately discovered that everything he had seen in his past and present lives seemed to be imprinted in his mind. As long as he thought carefully, he could immediately recall the scene at that time.
So that's the special feature. It works great; now he can recall the songs he heard in his past life. Now, only one question remains.
He thought for a moment, took out his phone, and searched for "Jay Chou":
Baidu Baike: Zhou Jielun, a famous magician in China, whose representative works include "Magic Hands and Divine Colors" and "A Thousand Transformations"...
Putting away her phone, Xu Jinyan's expression was a little strange. Her brows furrowed, but the corners of her mouth were harder to suppress than an AK. Even the world is forcing me to become a star!
