Chapter 43 - Opening the Treasure Chest

Cheng Huanhuan had interacted with Lin Chudong once before, and the previous wedding had shocked her.

It was her first time hosting a wedding, and the song "Guest" had completely killed the atmosphere. She didn't dare to look at Zhang Yao for the rest of the event.

The strange thing was, those two acted like nothing had happened, continuing to chat and laugh, and the second half of the wedding went smoothly.

What kind of person was this Da Fei? And whose fault was it in the conflict between him and the Da Fei Band?

Wu Bo cleared his throat, a little nervous. He had no problem singing, but he didn't know what to say to the reporters.

Shen Jianbin immediately interrupted, "No matter who we're performing with, we'll give it our best."

"This time, we've prepared a new song, 'Faith in Humanity'. This will be the Da Fei Band's best rock song yet."

Cheng Huanhuan said, "Many people watched the live stream at the last music festival. The Liang Music Band's song 'No More Hesitation' blew the roof off the place, taking the atmosphere to unprecedented heights. This caused your performance to suffer afterward. Are you planning to take revenge on Da Fei this time?"

Sun Jie sneered, "Revenge? He's not worthy, is he?"

Shen Jianbin said, "It's not really revenge. But, his performance is indeed difficult to follow. His No More Hesitation had a good effect back then."

"But our Faith in Humanity will be a new milestone in the history of rock music. I believe no one can follow us, including his No More Hesitation."

Cheng Huanhuan showed a hint of excitement. It seemed like there was some gossip. The Da Fei Band's attitude was very arrogant.

"Oh? You mean, after you guys go on stage, the Liang Music Band will bomb?"

"That's for sure. I really don't understand why the director wants him to be the finale. His strength is simply not enough to support such a big stage."

Cheng Huanhuan continued to ask, "What level do you think Da Fei is?"

Shen Jianbin smiled, "This topic easily gets me into trouble. Wu Bo, what do you think of your own level?"

Wu Bo thought for a moment and said,

"I think I am the future of rock and roll!"

Shen Jianbin laughed. "Young man, you've got guts, I like that. I think Da Fei is not as good as Wu Bo."

After Cheng Huanhuan left Da Fei Band, she went straight to Liang Yin Music Store.

Arriving at the music store, she was somewhat shocked by the scene before her.

Da Fei... was here in this music store?

Even if he was past his prime, it shouldn't be this bad, right?

Cheng Huanhuan explained her purpose, and Liang Yin immediately welcomed her warmly.

The interviews were scheduled to be broadcast before the gala the next afternoon. This was the first time their band would be on television, so they naturally took it seriously.

Cheng Huanhuan's interview focused directly on Lin Chudong. As the core and a hot topic of the Liang Music Band, he was naturally the one to be questioned the most.

"Da Fei, we met at Li Dan and Zhang Yao's wedding last time. Do you remember?"

"I remember. Teacher Cheng, your visit to our little music store is truly an honor."

Cheng Huanhuan smiled. "I haven't interviewed you in all these years, but I didn't expect you to be quite talkative."

"For the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala performance, you're the last act. How do you feel?"

Lin Chudong said, "I'm grateful for the leaders' trust. I will do my best to perform well."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Huanhuan began to broach the main topic.

"This time you're performing on the same stage as Da Fei Band for the second time. The first time, they were the ones carrying you, and this time it's you carrying them. Do you feel any pressure?"

Lin Chudong shook his head. "No pressure."

"So, what do you think of Da Fei Band's new lead singer?"

"His singing is decent, but the rest is just average."

Cheng Huanhuan said, "I heard from Shen Jianbin that they're pulling out their trump card this time, aiming to surpass your song, 'No More Hesitation'. Are you confident you can handle them?"

Lin Chudong smiled. "I think it shouldn't be a problem."

The simple interview quickly ended. Although Da Fei spoke with a hint of arrogance, he didn't disparage the other party, leaving no room for criticism.

However, things were different with the Da Fei Band. Putting the two together created a definite feeling of tension.

Cheng Huanhuan finished the interview and immediately returned to the station to begin preparations.

At the same time, another female host from Modu Television Station was lying in Li Zhilin's arms.

Li Zhilin held a cigarette between his fingers, and his body was covered in tattoos, a stark contrast to the honest and well-behaved image he presented to the public.

"Sister Lu, do you know that Da Fei?"

The female host in Li Zhilin's arms was Guan Lu, one of the most well-known presenters on Modu Television Station.

Guan Lu was still savoring the afterglow of their intimacy, and said, "I've heard of him; he's the headliner for this Mid-Autumn Festival Gala."

Li Zhilin said, "That little bastard cursed me on set last time."

Guan Lu was stunned. "There's something like that? How come I didn't hear about it?"

Li Zhilin snorted. "Someone recorded a video and posted it online before. I had someone delete all the videos. During the live stream tomorrow night, I'll find a chance to mess with him."

Guan Lu said, "With your power, do you still need my help?"

Li Zhilin said, "That little bastard has Lin Qiqi backing him. I don't dare to be too blatant with him, so I'll do something underhanded to let him know the consequences of offending me."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. Help me mess with him, and I'll arrange a show for you later."

Guan Lu was delighted. "Okay, Zhilin, I've slept with you so many times, you can't let me down. During the live stream tomorrow night, I'll make sure he looks bad!"

Early the next morning.

It wasn't even light yet when Liang Yin arrived at the store, carrying several mooncake gift boxes.

"Mooncakes are here!"

Lin Chudong and Wang Zhi stumbled out, bleary-eyed.

"Boss Lady, are you on a caffeine high?"

"Da Fei, I'm giving you mooncakes. Aren't you excited about the gala tonight?"

Wang Zhi said, "I'm very excited. Da Fei doesn't seem to be, though? He used to perform at galas all the time, except for the Spring Festival Gala."

Lin Chudong rolled his eyes, "If you don't know what to say, just shut up."

"Thanks for the mooncakes, boss lady. I'll have one for breakfast,"

Wang Zhi scratched his head, "Thanks, boss lady!"

Everyone was present before eight o'clock. They all took mooncakes for breakfast; after all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they had to be festive.

Jia Lu was very happy, "Our company's benefits are really good, giving out mooncakes for the festival."

Liang Yin put her hands on her hips, "There will be more and more benefits in the future. Everyone, work hard with Da Fei."

Everyone was chattering about the rehearsal this afternoon and the gala. Only Lin Chudong was absentminded.

The treasure chest countdown had only a few minutes left, and it was about to open.

He didn't know what would come out of the red treasure chest that he had been waiting for for seven days.

3, 2, 1!

The treasure chest opens! [Purple Treasure Chest x1] [Advanced Magic]

Lin Chudong was stunned. Advanced Magic?

This was a good thing. As expected, when the quality of the treasure chest increased, the items inside became better as well.

It was just a pity that he already had a performance for this gala. Otherwise, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, or even the Spring Festival Gala, could use magic as an option.

This treasure chest was also of a higher quality than before, a Purple Treasure Chest.

Just looking at the gorgeous color of the treasure chest, one could tell that it was more advanced than the red ones.

He guessed that it would open up some master-level life skills, right?

Purple Treasure Chest opened!
