Chapter 165 - Mic Hog Completed (1/2)
After delivering the congee, Meng Fan was bored out of his mind. It was the weekend, and Zhang Zhou Wei and the others were all out on dates when he asked them to go out. When he asked Da Fei, they were all busy as well. Meng Fan did not know where to go by himself.
[Mic Hog] only had 130 songs left, and he felt uncomfortable leaving the task when it was so close to completion. Smack! He suddenly slapped his head. How could he forget the fickle netizens!
The Shi Zhan Youth!
Meng Fan remembered he had his WeChat and immediately sent him a voice chat invite that was answered not long after.
“Are you busy this afternoon?”
“Nope! Meng host do you need a car? I’ll head over now!”
“No no no. I don’t need a car.” Meng Fan interrupted him and continued. “Out of all our netizens, how many do you know of that are in Hangzhou?”
“Several! Didn’t we run into a bunch in Song Cheng last time? Us Hangzhou folk have created a chat group, and aside from watching your stream, we’ve hung out together too.”
“That’s incredible. I’ll treat you guys to karaoke this afternoon. Wanna come?”
“Of course! Where are you, I’ll come right now!”
“… Uhm, can you keep the headcount below ten people though? I’ll send you the address now.”
“I understand, I’ll call them now!”
Twenty minutes later, Meng Fan welcomed the Shi Zhan youth and his two friends into his booth. Next, a new person arrived every few minutes until there were nine. Four guys and five girls, so including Meng Fan, it was perfect to couple up. This Shi Zhan Youth had some next-level organizational abilities.
Since there were only 130 songs left, and he was with a group of internet friends, Meng Fan was too embarrassed to directly hog the mic. He let go and enjoyed his time, singing, eating and drinking.
Although the ten of them were meeting for the first time, their ages were similar and had similar interests and passions. It wasn’t difficult to hang out together, and the atmosphere was harmonious as well.
In the afternoon, Meng Fan ended up only getting forty or so experience points. After karaoke, they went off and shared a meal together before dispersing.
In the evening, Meng Fan did not continue to invite people to go out and went to another KTV wearing his hat. From 7:00 pm, he sang until 12:30, completing the last 90 songs.
“Ding! You’ve sung 1000 songs by hogging the mic at KTV. You’ve completed the task [Mic Hog]; Reward: Points +1000.”
“Ding! You’ve completed the task [Mic Hog], gaining the title [Mic Hog] (Singing skills +5, voice appeal +3)”
At this time, Meng Fan was in the third booth of the night.
He didn’t enter this booth because it was all girls inside; it was because they seemed to be having a good time. These six girls completely entered the zone when Meng Fan entered, drunkenly singing and having a good time. They had no perception of the extra voice and the extra person in the room.
At this point, they couldn’t even sing what was meant to be sung.
When the song “Give me a Reason to Forget” came up, Meng Fan was about to leave but hesitated for a moment. He picked up the microphone once again.
He wanted to test his newly added attributes.
“The rain has stopped…”
After singing the first line, Meng Fan was stunned. When his singing skills increased, it came with improved vocal performance, added pitch, range, tone, and sound quality. Meng Fan didn’t even have to think about it, it just sounded so good!”
“… but why is the sky still Gray? I remember you said we have to be happy.”
Meng Fan sang and unconsciously entered an emotional state.
Suddenly, the girls in the room who had been crazily singing suddenly quieted down. Their expressions were shocked as if they just heard some heart-wrenching voice. But it didn’t sound like that. However, the corners of their mouths slowly lifted into a smile.
