This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends

Chapter 73 - 73 73 Slaughtered

?Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Slaughtered Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Slaughtered “No way, can this song really sell that many copies?”

Lu Yao had already started to question her life choices.

In just about half an hour, the sales had skyrocketed by 50,000… Since when did albums sell that well?

Not even new releases from singers achieved this pace, let alone an album Wu Mu released several years ago.

It would’ve made sense if these were fans boosting the sales, but according to the live stream’s comments, it seemed like they were mostly people not too familiar with Wu Mu but just thought his music was pleasant to listen to.

Lu Yao and the audience that found the song mediocre were all in doubt.

Seeing that the sales goal was reached, Wu Mu asked everyone, “Do you want to hear some singing or something else?”

Immediately, those who had just spent their money on the stream insisted, “Sing the titular track, ‘Farewell’, from your album.”

Wu Mu nodded, “Alright, I’ll go get a guitar.”

The music platform could have just played the accompaniment directly, but then you wouldn’t get the bonus from his self-playing and singing skills.

Wu Mu procured a guitar from the show crew, sat on a hotel courtyard chair, and set his phone on a table.

He silently prayed, “System, activate skills, both of them!” and then his fingers danced across the strings.

“Gently waving goodbye, to yesterday.”

“Yesterday’s scars and tears, scattered with the wind…”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Yao, still dubious about life, listened to the song, and was stunned.

What’s happening?

Why does this song feel different?

It didn’t feel the same when heard on the phone.

Earlier, listening through the phone, the melody and the lyrics felt rather refreshing but too flat, nothing unique that stuck in memory—simply one of those forgettable types.

But now…

Lu Yao watched Wu Mu sing, feeling as if she was witnessing a scene where teacher Wu Mu was lying on a sprawling field, a gentle breeze rustling his hair as his eyes followed the quietly drifting clouds, a smile on his face as he savored the arrival of spring.

She felt a sudden ease and happiness.

Is this really the same song!?

Though not explosively beautiful, the sensory experience was completely different.

When Wu Mu finished his song, he wasn’t surprised by Lu Yao’s reaction.

He had cheated, after all, and if there hadn’t been any difference, the cheat would have been for nothing!

The system’s skills weren’t enough to turn a just-okay song into a masterpiece, but they could magnify the emotions of the performer; it was like transforming a song from just audio and melody into a movie with visuals and emotions, perceptible to all.

So, those in the audience who previously couldn’t grasp the depth of the song were now infected by this amplified emotion.

And when you’re emotionally engaged, the experience of listening to music is utterly different.

Songs that felt bland or emotionless on a normal day could bring tears when one was feeling emo late at night.

The live stream chats exploded.

“Ah, is this the same song?”

“This is definitely not the same song!”

“Where was this infectiousness in the initial listen?”

The previously deceived viewers who had bought and listened to the song were in disbelief.

“No way, wasn’t this a pretty good song all along? I actually believed you when you said it was bad.”

“I bet it’s just Wu Mu’s anti–fans trolling, trying to drag everything about him through the mud.”

“Seriously, it’s a shame to blatantly lie about such a decent song. I really like it and I’m going to buy the album to support.”

Those who blindly followed others’ negative opinions now felt cheated; the song was actually good and it was just the anti-fans spreading hate.

Now Wu Mu’s anti-fans were truly flabbergasted; yes, they were his haters, but they genuinely found the song unappealing!

They were just trying to warn others not to get scammed!

Look at this, just after one song, are they supposed to be the bad guys now?

Those who had liked the song from the beginning were now relishing the moment, as if to fiercely slap the detractors in the face.

It’s one thing to slander a singer, but to degrade a song they loved and question their taste, that was unacceptable!

Well, even though the song Wu Mu sang live sounded slightly better than the digital player’s version.

But ultimately, wasn’t it because the song itself was simply good?

Content, they continued to request Wu Mu to sing the next song, spending money with no restraint to boost the album sales.

With their purchases boosted by the audience’s changed impressions, the sales of Wu Mu’s album soared.

Initially, it took over twenty minutes to increase by 50,000, but then it started to take only ten minutes, five minutes, and even saw a big spender buy 50,000 copies by himself…

Lu Yao was completely numb and lost all motivation to continue live streaming.

Who can outperform teacher Wu Mu?

Only a few hours had passed, and the sales had increased by 300,000!

At twelve yuan each, that’s 3.6 million!

She had to knock her head to earn 3.6 million.

Even as one of the top new-generation celebrities, even though her fans were strong,
there was no way a simple live stream would generate three to four hundred million in gifts for her.

Moreover, the sales on Wu Mu’s side kept increasing…

First place was out of the question; today’s competition win was basically already decided.

Lu Yao simply stopped streaming and sat watching teacher Wu Mu’s stream, listening to his songs and banter.

And thus, the evening came.

Wang Xiaotian and the others who had been out earning money gradually returned.

Wang Xiaotian saw that both Wu Mu and Lu Yao had already arrived at the recording site and were leisurely drinking and chatting, his eyes lit up.

“Wu Mu, didn’t earn money today?”

He was delighted, not even waiting for Wu Mu’s response, answering for him, “Right, you’ve collapsed, even came to our show to find a job through Weibo, no way you got someone to hire you within a day.”

He was already fantasizing about the moment the show announced his earnings and Wu Mu being taken down by him, surprising everyone.

Zhang Haoran was also very happy; after the broadcast of the last episode, his screen time seemed to have been stolen by Wu Mu, almost as if Wu Mu were the regular guest and he was just a fill-in.

It was bad enough to lose screen time, but the reviews too were biased, saying he was nowhere close to Wu Mu in comparison, which he couldn’t stand.

Now it looked like he could finally step on Wu Mu?

Joyful, those two didn’t notice Lu Yao’s sympathetic looks.

Poor Xiaotian and brother Haoran, still thinking they had a chance, not even aware they’ve been obliterated already.

With the amount teacher Wu Mu made today, how could anyone compete?
