Chapter 154: Chapter 154: A New Rock Song

Originally, Wu Mu and his team had planned to start the show with an English rock song popular in Blue Star to get the atmosphere going, and then alternate between English and Chinese songs.

However, given the current situation, starting with a song from Blue Star alone obviously wasn’t enough.

It’s not that his singing wasn’t good, but that particular song didn’t really complement his skills, so he had to rely heavily on his singing attribute to power through.

Although with his singing attribute nearly reaching eighty points, the performance wouldn’t be too bad.

But in the current situation, it was still somewhat lacking.

Wu Mu looked at some troublemakers in the audience whose eyes were filled with hostility towards him.

Relying on a regular song definitely wouldn’t affect them.

Well, he might as well pull a clever move using Tongzi’s method.

He silently opened the system panel.

"System, give me a kick-ass English rock song that matches the System Skills!"

He spent one hundred points and bought a white treasure box.

He opened it immediately.

[Congratulations, you have received an attribute point reward—Piano +1.]

His luck wasn’t great this time; he didn’t get what he wanted right away.

He continued to buy.

[Congratulations, you have received the song— "Numb".]

"Numb?"

A smile appeared on Wu Mu’s face, knowing it was a sure thing when he saw the song title.

He was very familiar with this song—a classic by Lincoln Park from his previous life on Earth, often heard while playing QQ Speed.

And the content of the song...

Wu Mu glanced at Liu Lan in the audience, it was unexpectedly suitable.

Now that he had the song he needed, he didn’t hesitate, turned to Lu Yao and Yu Ke who were waiting for his signal, and said, "I’ll sing the first one solo, you guys don’t need to accompany me."

Solo?

Lu Yao was surprised at first, then excited, "Xiao Wu, are you going to perform a new song?!"

Awesome!

Take that, all those doubters in the audience!

Having received this kind of unfair treatment inexplicably, Lu Yao and the others were also a bit angry.

They were already determined to prove their strength.

And now that Teacher Wu Mu was going to sing solo, it was even better!

After agreeing with Lu Yao and the others, Wu Mu stood in the middle of the stage at Old George Bar.

The previously disruptive customers looked on with cold eyes, waiting for him to perform poorly so they could continue heckling and boo him off the stage.

But...

"System, activate skills."

After turning on all the skills he could in his mind, Wu Mu looked at the audience, placed his fingers on the guitar, brewed for a moment, and a series of clear harmonics rang out.

Huh?

The customers below the stage were undoubtedly surprised, what song is this? This intro is quite catchy.

The intro to "Numb" was indeed very catchy, the kind that makes you instantly recall what song it is upon hearing it.

Unexpectedly, this East Asian guy seemed to really be an expert.

Some of the customers who often listened to band performances had already recognized Wu Mu’s guitar skills.

But whether the song was good or not still depended on how well he sang it.

Everyone thought to themselves.

Then, they heard Wu Mu start to sing after a very catchy intro.

"I’m tired of being what you want me to be."

("I’ve grown tired of becoming what you expect me to be.")

"Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface."

(Pale disguise, a soul bereft of faith)

"I don’t know what you expect from me."

"The oppressive weight bears down, I tread your path unflinchingly."

"Struggling in a torrent of thoughts, merely a futile struggle..."

As soon as Wu Mu’s first note rang out, the customers below the stage were instantly taken aback.

It sounded so good!

They felt as if they were about to kneel in awe.

Different from his somewhat languid manner when speaking, when he truly started to sing, his voice was full of power and slightly hoarse, which felt profoundly emotional.

And so full of feeling!

They felt as though they could hear the emotions contained in each note, and the audience was starting to heat up.

And Wu Mu’s devout international fan, Amy, already had stars in her eyes.

Wu Mu’s English songs sound so beautiful!

Since Wu Mu had never sung in English before and hadn’t claimed to speak English, she was initially worried about his performance.

Especially since he was to sing a rock song, a genre that did not seem to fit the image Wu Mu usually portrayed.

But surprisingly, as soon as Wu Mu began to sing, he electrified the audience, and it was in his distinct style!

She had to record Wu Mu’s fabulous performance and show it to everyone!

Excited, she pulled out her phone and started recording Wu Mu’s stage act, planning to post it on TikTok.

As the daughter of the owner of Old George Bar, she frequently captured videos of various bands and had hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok.

She intended to introduce these hundreds of thousands of followers to Wu Mu, this hidden gem of a singer.

While on stage, Wu Mu continued, unlike his usually soothing and lyrical songs.

But Numb was furious, cathartic, and exuded a screaming exertion.

After a slightly mellow intro, the song and emotions finally erupted:

"My heart is as frozen and numb, indifferent to your manipulation."

"I am weary in body and mind, yet my soul suddenly awakens."

"I have become everything I wished to be."

"Transformed back to myself, breaking free from your shackles."

Oh my God!

Such an intense song!

Hearing Wu Mu’s vehement outpour on stage, the customers could hold back no longer.

"Four da, four da, four da!"

Since the song was new and they couldn’t sing along, they could only wildly shout the name of the band on stage, swaying desperately with the rhythm to vent their inner fervor.

Fuck Asians, fuck the naysayers!

Fuck, fuck!

All they wanted now was to vent along!

Seeing the audience below plunged into frenzy, Lin Qingyue directed the cameramen to capture close-ups.

Unquestionably, Wu Mu had provided another legendary live performance for their show.

The singing was incredible, and so were the reactions of the audience.

She noticed that amongst the cheering and swaying crowd, many had been troublemakers before.

What could be more effective for a show than a song that conquers opponents?

While directing the filming, she didn’t forget to quietly experience the deep emotions of her top performer.

Indeed, there wasn’t much need to focus quietly—the emotions were vivid in each lyric, every note.

Was this his song of rebirth written after his collapse?

Lin Qingyue wondered.

Then inevitably, she couldn’t help but glance towards another key figure of Wu Mu’s collapse, Liu Lan at the corner booth.

Liu Lan’s expression, as he watched Wu Mu on stage, was clearly troubled.
