[Countdown: 8 days]
[Acceleration Cost]: 80,000
This time, the countdown switched from hours to days, perhaps because it exceeded a week?
If it keeps increasing like this, opening the treasure chests in the future will take longer and longer. He wouldn't be able to finish opening his ninety thousand plus treasure chests in his lifetime.
So, if he wanted to take a shortcut, he still needed a lot of money.
Lin Chudong wasn't rich, so he chose to let time pass slowly, waiting for the item in this purple treasure chest.
He used [Advanced Magic], and some high-end magic skills, along with the muscle memory in his fingers, instantly merged into his mind…
After the orchestra and harmony group arrived, everyone rehearsed a few more times, and then they went to the television station.
The TV station started rehearsals at noon. They would rehearse about twice in the afternoon, and it would almost be evening.
Lin Chudong didn't need to rush; he was last on the schedule. However, Liang Yin took it very seriously, fearing any mistakes, so she went to the television station on time.
A BMW X5 stopped at the entrance of the television station, and Shen Jianbin, Sun Jie, Wu Bo, and others got out of the car.
Wu Bo was a little excited, "Brother Bin, this is my first time performing at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. It's quite a big deal."
Shen Jianbin smiled, "This is nothing. Our goal this year is to perform at the Spring Festival Gala. Da Fei has never been on it. If you make it to the Spring Festival Gala, you'll completely surpass Da Fei."
Wu Bo nodded. "I will. Liang's Band probably doesn't have such a grand setup, right?"
Wu Bo patted the imposing BMW X5.
Shen Jianbin said, "You mean the car? Da Fei probably can't afford a car. I saw them at the music festival last time, and they had a van and a Honda Fit."
"A car worth a little over a hundred thousand, that suits Da Fei's status perfectly."
Sun Jie and the others immediately burst out laughing. After their previous falling out, they didn't bother pretending anymore.
Wu Bo said, "Da Fei has been the lead singer in the band for three years. He must have earned a lot from performances, right?"
Shen Jianbin said, "The performance fees are okay. Fifteen percent commission. Da Fei has earned at least seven or eight million in the last three years."
"But this idiot, I don't know if he's being a saint or what, donated to two schools. According to my analysis, those two schools probably wiped out his savings."
Wu Bo was taken aback, "He does charity work? I haven't heard anything about it in the news?"
Sun Jie sneered, "That's why he's stupid. After Brother Bin knew about this, he wanted him to hold a press conference, but he still kept that deadpan look, resolutely refusing interviews. He doesn't participate in any activities other than singing."
"Brother Bin is the one who went to The Voice as his mentor."
Wu Bo shrugged, indicating his lack of understanding. He just purely focused on music, earned money, and donated it to schools. He didn't consider himself at all?
Shen Jianbin said, "Honestly, when it comes to music, I really admire Da Fei. No one can match his dedication to it. But unfortunately, in my eyes, he's just a music-obsessed bookworm."
"Hehe, alright, let's get ready to go in."
Just then, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly drove over.
Sun Jie whistled, "Woah, a GLS450! I don't recognize that license plate. Whose ride is this?"
Shen Jianbin smiled, "It's definitely not a nobody. Wait a moment, we'll say hello."
Under the gaze of Liang's Band, Liang Yin got out of the passenger seat!
The driver's side door opened, and Da Fei, wearing sunglasses, got out.
Seeing Shen Jianbin and the others, he was stunned, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Shen Jianbin's mouth twitched, I'm picking you up, my ass!
When did Da Fei buy a car?
And such a nice one at that?
Sun Jie and the others were envious when they saw the car even had a temporary license plate, clearly newly purchased.
"Da Fei, you've been hiding this well, already changed cars so quickly?"
Lin Chudong was taken aback, "You mean this car? Our boss's wife gave it to us. Didn't you know our boss's wife is a second-generation rich kid? Boss Liang, haven't you heard of her?"
Shen Jianbin and the others were dumbfounded. Boss Liang?
Could it be that old general manager of the heavy industry group who once topped the richest list?
Liang Yin was a young lady from a wealthy family?
Liang Yin's lips twitched. Da Fei was spouting nonsense without even blushing. She wasn't some second-generation rich kid, she was just a miserable working stiff.
But to cooperate with Lin Chudong, she still puffed out her chest, full of ambition, and put on an arrogant expression.
Sun Jie gritted his teeth in anger. Had this bastard gotten in with a rich woman? No wonder things had been going so smoothly, did he have a big boss supporting him?
Shen Jianbin narrowed his eyes. He didn't trust Da Fei's words at all now, but the facts were right in front of him, so he had no choice but to believe them.
Lin Chudong's performances at the music festivals and reality shows were barely enough to make ends meet, let alone afford such a luxury car.
Da Fei always gave him the impression that he was full of hot air. Could this guy even be telling the truth?
"Da Fei, you've got some connections. You can even get on the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Who did you ask for help?"
Lin Chudong smiled. "Can't you tell? The Chengdu Tourism Bureau reposted my song before, didn't you know? I have people in the Government."
With that, Lin Chudong walked past him.
Liang Yin and the others all had mocking smiles on their faces. The two bands passed each other again, and this time, Da Fei's band members all had grim expressions.
Sun Jie said, "Bin-ge, is it true? Does Da Fei have someone in the Government?"
"Don't listen to his bullshit! If he had someone in the Government, why wouldn't he have mentioned it for three years? Besides, I remember he's an orphan, where would he have relatives?"
Su Yulin sneered, "Orphans aren't born from rocks, they must have biological parents, right?"
Sun Jie's eyes widened. "Yulin, you said he found his birth parents? And they're in the Government? You know something, don't you?"
Shen Jianbin also looked at Su Yulin with a puzzled expression.
Su Yulin said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either. Da Fei doesn't tell me anything anymore."
Shen Jianbin frowned. "Forget it, don't listen to Da Fei's boasting. Perform well today. I don't believe he can turn his life around!"
Entering the venue, the rehearsal had already begun.
Sun Xuan stood under the stage, watching everything on the monitor, his expression serious.
The programs on the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala were proceeding one by one. At this moment, it was a skit by Mao Feifei on stage.
Mao Feifei is a new comedian and is very popular this year, considered the most anticipated program in the language category.
Seeing Lin Chudong arrive, Sun Xuan asked, "Da Fei, how's the preparation?"
Lin Chudong replied, "No problem. I'll go up and show you in a bit."
Sun Xuan shook his head. "You don't need to go up. Just let the musicians do a run-through with the accompaniment."
Lin Chudong was taken aback. "Director Sun, what's wrong?"
Sun Xuan whispered, "There's competition among musicians, and there's no less competition among directors."
"Look in the audience, there are several directors. The director for this year's Spring Festival Gala hasn't been decided yet, and they're all eager to prove themselves."
"This is my first time doing a live broadcast gala on a local station. They're all waiting to see me fail, so I need to keep you, my secret weapon, under wraps."
The recommendation is related to advancing, so all readers, please take a few more glances at the free chapters and be sure to read to the end. I thank you again! I will have a massive update when I advance and go on sale! I'll have Da Fei kowtow to everyone for me!
