Chapter 31: 31. Singing Techniques_1
Ren He looked up slightly, it was only a two-story distance after all. He rubbed some chalk on his hands to psych himself up and continued climbing upwards. This kind of exercise sometimes proved to be much more intense than indoor fitness activities. Although indoor workouts could build up muscles, they couldn’t provide the thrilling pleasure of challenging life itself.
When his hands finally grasped the edge of the seventh-floor rooftop, his feet suddenly let go of all their holds, clinging to the rooftop only with his hands. Ren He didn’t immediately pull himself up; instead, he turned his head to look down. The height of the seventh floor was already quite significant—if it had been his previous life, Ren He might have felt his palms sweat just from looking down from the seventh floor. However, now he was beginning to enjoy the tranquil moment on the edge of life and death in the darkness of the night.
What exactly should one chase in life?
Everyone has their own answer. Some people like beautiful women, some enjoy spending time with their families, some prefer stability, while others crave luxury.
At this moment, Ren He felt he had found what he was seeking.
His arms suddenly exerted force, and his upper body swiftly moved onto the rooftop, after which he flipped up onto it.
The mission ended there, and Ren He quietly waited for the reward from the Divine Punishment System.
“Host has completed the 1-7 floor bare-handed climbing task, reward: singing technique.”
Indeed, targeted rewards seemed more reliable. In no time, techniques related to breath control, voice use, oral resonance, and diction were infused into his mind by the Divine Punishment System. It was then he realized how sloppy his previous singing methods had been…
Ren He tried singing a couple of lines from The Brightest Star in the Night Sky again, and suddenly his singing seemed much more sophisticated…
Many people, when they sing, don’t go off key; it just sounds very… rustic. There’s a reason for that.
But he didn’t need to research that. He wasn’t aiming for how good he could sing; being able to sing in front of Yang Xi was good enough. Yet, he should use these targeted rewards less in the future unless urgently needed, as getting two rewards reduced to one did hurt a bit.
Even another Emetic Water would do, which, although not very useful, was quite interesting. Now, he was both anticipating and resisting the Divine Punishment Missions. The thrill of risking it all felt great, but too much of it, and you could lose control!
Just like last night, he hadn’t planned on taking on more tasks recently, yet, he hummed Nunchucks, and bam, the Divine Punishment System got him!
He’d better be more careful in the future.
But things like this are hard to avoid even when you’re careful. Most people have a habit of humming tunes unconsciously, and Ren He was no exception. Sometimes he hummed a song without even realizing it.
And such unconscious acts are not limited to just humming songs…
The tense day finally ended. Today, he had climbed a total of fifteen stories, and all his muscles were a bit tired. But Ren He knew that with a night’s rest, he’d recover completely!
The next morning when Ren He entered the classroom, he immediately saw Liu Yinghai staring coldly at him. Ren He found this amusing—it was just a middle school grudge, how deep could it go?
The enmities formed during school days seem trivial after graduation, like child’s play. So Ren He didn’t take it to heart at all. There was only one month left in this semester. Come next semester, it would be time for the high school entrance exams. Everyone would be going to different schools, and even if they were in the same city, it would be hard to see each other again.
What school did Yang Xi want to get into?
Today marked the start of a new month, and Ren He had been waiting for his book to be featured in the big promotion. At two in the afternoon, he logged into Shengshi Chinese Network with his phone and saw that the homepage had indeed switched to the cover of his book!
Ren He immediately published a chapter expressing his thanks for the big promotion: A new month begins, please support Kid in climbing the monthly ticket rankings!
He had observed that currently, the monthly ticket rankings were dominated by two great gods with “Journey of the Wind” and “Legend of the Different World Knight” engaged in a struggle for supremacy. They were tens of thousands of votes ahead of the third place, and apart from the top two, the battling power on the list wasn’t particularly strong.
Though his book’s average subscriptions had surpassed the 8,000 threshold after some time, breaking into the top 10 of the monthly ticket board seemed unrealistic since all the listed works had over ten thousand subscriptions.
But he wouldn’t always only have 8,000 average subscriptions; the big promotion was an opportunity!
It might seem like he had been recommended a lot, but actually, many readers had never come across his book. For instance, when his book was being promoted, those readers might have been engrossed in another book and missed the website’s recommendations altogether.
This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.
So, regardless of whether it’s a book from a well-established author or a newcomer, the website’s promotional spots are the most important. Those works with tens of thousands of subscriptions didn’t reach that number right after being listed; they were promoted step by step with each website recommendation bringing some new readers to the book.
And the big promotion was the most “Geili” recommendation!
Typically, a book would only get a big promotion after it exceeded 800,000 words, but Ren He’s book hit the promotion with only 600,000 words, causing a bit of imbalance among other authors.
The discussion about his book lacking substance never stopped and even intensified. On some literary forums, his book became a must-criticize work. It seemed as if a day didn’t feel complete without taking a jab at his book: every time Ren He updated a chapter, they would mock its content, even pulling grammar and punctuation usage into their critiques, turning into elaborate mockery…
But truth be told, Ren He had never paid attention to these topics. He wrote simply to make money. He understood the saying that you can’t have both the fish and the bear’s paw. If he had aimed for reputation over mainstream appeal, he would have suffered losses. The reputation given to him by the Three Character Classic was enough, and he even had Zhou Wumeng keep it a secret.
So, while the discussions on the literary forums were in full swing, tearing his work to shreds, an odd phenomenon occurred: the book kept updating on schedule, its performance steadily improved, and the author remained silent.
It was as if… the author didn’t care about the criticism at all.
But what they didn’t know was that Ren He wasn’t indifferent; he simply hadn’t seen it…
After the big promotion, all the new readers would first go through the first 240,000 words of free chapters. Once they finished the free chapters, that would be when his average subscriptions would start to grow again!
Tonight, aside from going for a nighttime run and having a nice shower, Ren He spent his time staring at his phone, refreshing the data. He felt that today might be the day his book would break the ten thousand subscription milestone!
And on the monthly ticket rankings, his book had already reached the 11th position, just one step away from breaking into the list!
