This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 8 - Skill and Song

On the system interface, the Treasure Box was shimmering with a white light, slowly unveiling itself.

"Congratulations on obtaining attribute points, Beauty +1 reward."

Beauty?

Wu Mu glanced at the Beauty attribute on his system panel, which had already reached 88 points, and shook his head slightly.

It seems that the probability of getting an item that boosts this isn't high.

He didn't need Beauty, at least not urgently for now.

Despite being at only 87 points, his beauty was acknowledged as the top tier within the circle; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a top influencer.

However, gaining attribute points was always good.

Wu Mu continued to spend one hundred points to purchase another white treasure box.

Once again, he opened it.

The screen lit up with a flash of golden light.

"Wow, Golden Legend!"

Wu Mu did a voice-over.

"Congratulations on obtaining a rare singing skill—'No Technique, All Emotion.'

The white treasure box produced a golden item, and it seemed to be exactly what he needed.

Wu Mu's face showed delight as he quickly checked out the effects of this item.

"No Technique, All Emotion"

"Rare Singing Skill"

"Effect: Upon activation of the skill, the user's emotions will be amplified and shared with all listeners. The deeper the understanding and resonance with the song, the higher the boost received."

"Review: Have you heard my feelings? Have you cried?"

Not bad, not bad at all!

Wu Mu nodded; this thing could greatly compensate for his lack of singing talent.

Now all he needed was a song!

Wu Mu continued to purchase Treasure Boxes.

The white light flickered from the Treasure Box.

"Congratulations on acquiring the song—'People Like Me'"

"Note: Entertainment products produced by the Treasure Box will have their copyrights registered by the system proxy, with the host being the owner of the rights."

Huh?

The song did come out, but it didn't seem to be what he needed.

After Wu Mu claimed his reward, all the information about the song appeared in his mind.

The core of this song was still a soliloquy about self; although it mentioned love a couple of times, that wasn't the main theme.

Using this song in competition would most likely be judged as off-topic.

However, the system's hint was quite considerate— the system helped with copyright registration, no need for him to do it himself.

Wu Mu continued the draw, spending his last hundred points.

The Treasure Box opened again, pulsing with white light.

"Congratulations on acquiring the song—'Heavenly Queen'"

Heavenly Queen?

After claiming the song, Wu Mu found it to be precisely the bitter love song he needed! Unrequited love!

He had actually heard this song in his former life; it was a song with quite high recognition, but his memory hadn't been strengthened—how could he remember every single word and the tune in its entirety?

Now, after claiming the reward, he immediately became aware of every detail of the song.

Rescued by the system "dad", Wu Mu calmed down. With this song, he couldn't guarantee getting first place, but hopefully, not being eliminated straight away shouldn't be a problem.

Although he had Mo Mo as his teammate, if he scored like he did in the last round, he would drag Mo Mo down to last place with him.

After all, their scores combined were just a little over one thousand points, while the second-to-last place had over six hundred points—adding their scores together, they would still make more than twelve hundred.

If they ended up as the last group, Mo Mo could be revived with a high score, but he was sure to be eliminated.

And "People Like Me" could still be used.

Mo Mo replaced herself, and now she could rely on "People Like Me" to compete against others in a PK.

This guaranteed that she wouldn't get eliminated no matter what.

She could make use of both songs she had, along with her singing skill; the system's lottery rewards were quite supportive.

After the lottery, Wu Mu, who no longer had to worry about being eliminated, reverted to his lazy self and holed up in his room to play games on his phone.

However, in the evening, there was a knock on his door.

"Mo Mo?"

When he opened the door, standing outside was indeed Mo Mo.

She had changed out of the haute couture gown she wore on stage, now dressed in a simple white dress.

"Let's go to the common area and discuss how we're going to write the song for the next round," she invited him.

It was true that the singer-songwriter duos often discussed songwriting with each other, as it bore upon the duo's performance.

Wu Mu wasn't surprised and nodded in agreement.

The two made their way to the common area, a large seafront terrace decorated with many cameras.

These were meant for filming the creative process, to be edited into the next episode.

Many contestants were already seated around the terrace, clutching music sheets and murmuring discussions.

They picked a spot to sit down, and once settled, Mo Mo asked him, "Do you have any ideas for the song you have to write?"

"Yeah, I've got plenty!" Wu Mu confidently replied; after all, he had already "written" the song in his mind.

Mo Mo looked at him, a hint of diplomatic concern in her eyes, "Would you like me to take a look at it?"

"No need, you have your own songs to write," Wu Mu waved her off.

Mo Mo remained polite, "It's okay, I have my ideas too; it's better to improve by referring to each other's work."

Hmm?

Wu Mu gave her a few skeptical looks, starting to understand, "You don't trust me, do you?"

Mo Mo met his gaze and after a two-second stare, chuckled out loud, "Wu Mu, with the scores you got today, how can I trust you?"

"If you get scores like today's again, we'll be eliminated in the next round!"

She got straight to the point, "Let me write your song."

Looking down on me!

His fists clenched!

While members of a duo could write songs for each other, this was rarely done; with just one week's time, writing one's own song was tight enough, taking on a partner's song would mean a very high workload, possibly risking the quality of both.

Of course, the process wasn't genuinely starting from scratch in the program—the contestants essentially relied on their previously accumulated musical materials, which they modified and used to write new lyrics.

This wasn't easy either, given that the program had a theme lottery; modifying accumulated materials to fit the theme still demanded significant effort.

Certainly, he wasn't up to this level on his own.

But then again, he had the cheat.

"Really, it's not necessary; I've got some solid ideas," he declined once more.

Mo Mo's expression clearly showed she was still unconvinced—having never written anything impressive before, how could he suddenly produce something good now, with even more restrictions on the show?

But since Wu Mu wasn't agreeing, there wasn't much she could do except to sigh, "Alright then, just show it to me once you can; I can still help you make improvements."

Wu Mu clicked his tongue, "As expected of the Heavenly Queen of the nation, always so professional."

Mo Mo rolled her eyes at him, "Still nothing compared to 'Teacher Wu Mu,' whose album sold two million copies in two days."

Wu Mu laughed, then wondered, "Even if I'm eliminated, it's my own loss, you could just resurrect, so why are you more anxious than I am?"

"If I can win, why would I choose to lose?" Mo Mo replied.

Makes sense.

Wu Mu nodded.

"Hey, if we're not directly eliminated in the next round and have the chance to switch partners, would you replace me?" he asked curiously.

Without hesitation, Mo Mo spread her hands, "Of course. With your scores, Teacher Wu Mu, not replacing you would be like giving up on the championship. How could we compete against the sum of He Jie and Zheng Qiang?"

That was true. If stronger contestants kept getting the chance to come back round by round and the weaker ones were outright eliminated, then He Jie and Zheng Qiang would inevitably end up on the same team.

When the time came, Mo Mo facing them alone would be pure wishful thinking.

Wu Mu wasn't surprised. Even with the system, and even if it always helped him draw the song he wanted, he didn't dare to claim he could make it to the end.

After all, he had no idea how many anti-fans he had in the audience; if there were enough, their blindly low scores would render his song meaningless no matter how good it was.
