Chapter 106: The Divine Melody Arrives-Sports and Entertainment Superstar(Big Yoyo)

The commercial break ended, and the live broadcast resumed.

Host Wu Chuan spoke with calm composure: "I believe the audience just heard Teacher Zhou’s questions regarding Lin Feng’s off-site vote count for the second round. Upholding the principles of fairness and transparency, the production team will conduct a thorough verification of Lin Feng’s second-round vote tally and announce the results after the third round of competition. Of course, this verification does not imply that the production team doubts the authenticity of Lin Feng’s votes; we are simply respecting Teacher Zhou’s request. Furthermore, Lin Feng has agreed to this verification process. Therefore, the results of the second round will be announced shortly."

"Next, we move to the third round—the on-site themed competition. I invite both songwriters to the stage."

As Wu Chuan finished speaking, Lin Feng and Zhou Ziqian stepped onto the stage.

"I wonder how the two of you are prepared? Writing a song in such a short time is no small feat," Wu Chuan asked with a smile.

"The time was tight, but I have finished," Zhou Ziqian said smugly.

"And what about you, Lin Feng?" Wu Chuan looked toward him.

"I suppose you could say I'm finished," Lin Feng shrugged.

"Finished is finished, and unfinished is unfinished—what does 'suppose you could say' mean?!" Zhou Ziqian seized upon Lin Feng’s phrasing to attack him.

Lin Feng glanced at him and said indifferently, "Teacher Zhou may not be aware, but I have always suffered from indecision. Since there was so much time for creation, I ended up writing two songs, and I haven't decided which one to use for the competition yet."

"What?" Zhou Ziqian was shocked. "You say you wrote two songs? Are you joking? Lin Feng, there’s no need to brag like that!"

"Uh, Lin Feng, did you really write two songs?" Wu Chuan also looked at him with utter disbelief.

Lin Feng spread his hands. "I have no reason to lie about this. My IQ isn't like some people's; what’s the point of bragging when it would be debunked in an instant?"

"You..." Zhou Ziqian’s face darkened, and he glared at Lin Feng viciously. "Fine! Since you claim to have written two songs, why not sing them both for everyone? Let everyone hear what kind of work you’ve produced in such a short time!"

"Sure, if everyone wants to hear them, I can certainly sing both," Lin Feng replied.

"We want to hear them!"
"Sing them!"

Upon hearing this, the audience in the studio responded loudly.

"Alright then, we will start this round with Lin Feng. You may sing two songs. Additionally, the rules for this round have changed: the five hundred audience members will decide the final outcome. You will not be voting during the performance, but rather after both songwriters have finished. Each person may only cast one vote for one of the two," Wu Chuan explained the rules and then smiled at Lin Feng. "Very well, the stage is yours, Lin Feng. Please present your on-site themed songs!"

Wu Chuan and Zhou Ziqian retreated to the edge of the stage.

At the center of the stage, Lin Feng bowed to the audience and said, "First, I’d like to present the first song I wrote: 'The Village'."

This was the song Lin Feng had decided on the moment he drew the "rural" theme. The song, originally titled "People from Our Village," was the theme song for a hit drama in another dimension called *Rural Love Story*. The lyrics were grounded and earthy, and the melody was lively...

*My old home,*
*Resides in this village,*
*I am a person born and raised in this village,*
*Don't look at the size of the village,*
*It has mountains, water, and forests,*
*The neighbors are harmonious,*
*The folks are even more close-knit...*

As soon as Lin Feng opened his mouth, the venue erupted.

"What the heck!"
"Damn! Lin Feng, where is your artistic integrity?"
"Even if it’s a rural theme, this is too countrified!"
"This style, these lyrics—I can't even bear to look at it!"
"You guys don't know anything; this is what you call sticking to the theme!"
"Hahaha, it's hilarious. Is Lin Feng using this song just to be funny?"

The audience was in an uproar, but Lin Feng was singing with gusto. However, the sight of his handsome face singing such a rustic, unrefined song created a jarring contrast. One might endure the first few lines, but after a few more, it was impossible to hold back laughter.

In fact, after only a few lines, the audience watching at home had already burst into laughter. This included Qin Ruolin, who was far away in Europe. Watching the performance on her tablet, she was drinking water and ended up spitting it all over the screen.

"What on earth is this guy singing..." The Diva wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, laughing until she was trembling.

Back at the live studio, hearing this song, "The Village," made Zhou Ziqian happy. In his view, the song was pure garbage.

*Hmph, trying to beat me with this trash? I’ve got this round in the bag!* Zhou Ziqian sneered inwardly.

Standing nearby, Wu Chuan felt nervous for Lin Feng. Because of Zhou Ziqian’s sudden outburst during the live broadcast, the production team had lost all favor for him and was naturally leaning toward Lin Feng.

The first verse ended. Just as the audience waited for another wave of comedy, Lin Feng’s singing style suddenly changed. To be precise, he switched to a different dialect to sing "The Village."

That’s right—Lin Feng began singing the Cantonese version of "The Village" for the second verse.

Once the Cantonese version emerged, the perceived class of the song instantly skyrocketed, giving it a high-end feel. Yet, because of the previous version as a reference, the audience burst into laughter again as they chewed on the Cantonese rendition.

"Lin Feng is too much of a joker!"
"Is this really the same song?"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing on my knees!"
"We didn't understand Lin Feng's intention—he wrote this song just to make us happy."
"Regardless of his intent, he's amazing—he managed to give one song two distinct vibes."
"I have to vote for Lin Feng, just for the joy he brought me!"

As Lin Feng’s performance deepened, the studio was filled with laughter and cheers. Zhou Ziqian, who had just been gloating, was left stunned. He never expected Lin Feng to pull a move like this. Singing one song in two languages to create two completely different styles—even his opponent had to admit that Lin Feng was brilliant.

On the internet, the Cantonese version of "The Village" caused an instant explosion.

"Holy cow, what did I just hear? 'My old home' in that accent??"
"The first divine song of the year has arrived, everyone come and watch!"
"Lin Feng is going to the moon! Everyone go listen to 'The Village'!"
"I'm dying of laughter! Lin Feng, you win! From today on, I’m a hardcore fan!"
"When I heard the first verse, I actually thought he was going to flop. I was wrong, my whole family was wrong!"
"It's a shame they don't allow off-site voting in the final round, otherwise I'd cast ten thousand votes for Lin Feng!"
"I love it! 'The Village' is so joyful, it's bound to be a hit. A guaranteed staple for square dancing!"
