Chapter 223: Chapter 221: A Master at Courting Death

He agreed out loud, his fingers already swiping rapidly across the screen. After a couple of upward swipes, he finally found something that made his eyes light up.

CLICK. With a tap of his finger, Principal Wang took a screenshot.

He made a show of opening his photo album, found the screenshot, and held it up to the camera. Then, grinning, he turned to Fang Chenyi and said:

"Heh heh, Brother Fang, this song is a real classic~"

Fang Chenyi’s eyes were glued to the stream of comments. When the screen suddenly flooded with "666," he knew without a doubt that this wasn’t going to be a normal song.

But Fang Chenyi was prepared. After all, these guys hadn’t suggested a single normal song yet, so it wasn’t surprising for some bizarre request to pop up. He even suspected it might be that infamously difficult song, "Disturbed"!

Hearing Principal Wang, he turned and looked at the phone screen in his hand. When he saw the song title at the top of the list, Fang Chenyi was left speechless.

Just as Principal Wang had said, the song was indeed a classic. It wasn’t "Disturbed," but rather Li Yugang’s... *New Drunken Concubine*.

Seeing the wicked grin on Principal Wang’s face, Fang Chenyi finally realized the man must have rigged it.

He just smiled and shook his head. Although the song had a long section that required a male singer to switch to a female-like voice, for the current Fang Chenyi, it was hardly a challenge.

Turning his gaze back to the livestream screen, Fang Chenyi smiled and said:

"I’m sure you all saw it. The top-ranked request is *New Drunken Concubine*, from a user named ’Fang Chenyi’s Wifey’~ I really love this song, but I don’t remember the lyrics perfectly. How about this: let’s all listen to it once together so I can refresh my memory, and then I’ll sing it for you."

Just then, Bufan, who was off to the side, found *New Drunken Concubine* on the computer that was linked to the phone and started playing it. At the same time, he produced a microphone set from who-knows-where and handed it to Fang Chenyi.

Fang Chenyi nodded with a smile and took it, then listened intently to the song along with his fans.

The song quickly played through once. Fang Chenyi nodded, signaling to Bufan that he could start the instrumental track.

As the intro music began to play, the stream of comments in the chat actually started to slow down. It seemed everyone was waiting in anticipation to hear Fang Chenyi sing.

As the instrumental intro led up to the first verse, Fang Chenyi cleared his throat.

"On that night, as snowflakes drifted down..."

The moment Fang Chenyi began to sing, the chat instantly exploded:

Heaven-Blasting Gang Yasuo: "What the hell, you can’t just do that! If you can’t sing, just say so, we wouldn’t blame you. But lip-syncing? That’s just wrong. Unfollowed!"

Please call me Mr. Magic: "What is this garbage? Trying to fool me with a pre-recorded track?! Unfollow! I’m definitely unfollowing!"

Yisheng Yishi~Little Melon Seed: "Are you idiots upstairs blind? My husband sounds amazing even if he’s lip-syncing!"

Heaven-Blasting Gang~Teacher Boduo is My Fave: "The comment above, certified brainless fangirl!"

...

Soon, the screen was flooded with accusations of lip-syncing. Seeing this, the first person to get confused wasn’t Fang Chenyi, but Bufan, who was standing beside him.

’I’m sure I found the instrumental track for *New Drunken Concubine*... so how are the original vocals playing?’

Just then, Fang Chenyi, who was completely absorbed in his performance thanks to the buff from his Music Mastery, finally noticed the screen was full of comments accusing him of lip-syncing. He froze. ’Lip-syncing? Did Bufan play the wrong track? Is this not the instrumental?’

Puzzled, he subconsciously stopped singing. The moment he did, only the instrumental backing track remained.

This made everyone freeze. Huh? What was going on? Wasn’t he lip-syncing?

Seeing Fang Chenyi’s questioning gaze, Bufan subconsciously stopped the music.

With that, the viewers in the chat instantly split into two camps: those who accused Fang Chenyi of lip-syncing, and those who staunchly defended him.

Seeing this, Fang Chenyi understood what had happened. ’It must be that with the help of my music skill, my imitation of Li Yugang’s voice was just too convincing.’

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fang Chenyi cut straight to the point:

"Alright, alright. I see a lot of people think I was lip-syncing. I just have to say... do you really think I’d need to resort to that?"

The moment he said this, the doubters in the chat immediately piped up.

North of the Galaxy, Boduo is the Prettiest: "Not lip-syncing? Then do you dare sing it a cappella?"

His words were met with a chorus of agreement. Seeing this, Fang Chenyi just smiled and shook his head.

"Since someone’s made the request, then to prove myself, I’ll sing it a cappella for you all."

Without waiting for another reaction, he picked up the microphone and began to sing a cappella.

The moment Fang Chenyi opened his mouth, the chat fell deathly silent. After five or six seconds, the comments exploded, and the screen was once again filled with the two words: "HOLY SHIT."

It wasn’t just the viewers in the chat; even Principal Wang and the others standing by were completely dumbfounded. ’Holy crap,’ they thought, ’his vocal skills are on par with professional singers! Especially that female vocal part. If you closed your eyes and didn’t look at Fang Chenyi, you would absolutely picture a beautiful young woman singing!’

After finishing the song, Fang Chenyi let out a soft laugh and spoke to the viewers.

"Heh, alright, I’ve sung the song for today. Now, let’s get down to business."

With that, Fang Chenyi turned to Principal Wang and asked:

"Let’s hurry it up, Xiaocong. I’m only playing one match today."

Hearing Fang Chenyi call his name, Principal Wang quickly snapped out of it. "Oh, right," he said, hurrying everyone to start the game.

Fang Chenyi simply smiled, waved goodbye to the viewers, and shut down the stream before launching the game.

Seeing this, Principal Wang could only manage a wry smile. ’He’d never seen a streamer treat his fans like this,’ he thought. ’Ending the stream at the peak of its popularity, with nearly a million viewers watching... He’s really an expert at digging his own grave.’

’Then again, thinking about how this multi-billionaire spends his days carrying a woven bag and picking up trash, it wasn’t all that surprising.’

This time, besides Bufan, the other two people playing with Fang Chenyi were the ones who hadn’t played with him last time. This was clearly a way to get everyone familiar with Fang Chenyi’s playstyle.

All soldiers, the plane is about to take off. Please prepare for deployment!

Fang Chenyi casually checked the flight path for the round. It ran from Mylta Power, across the Shelter, and ended at the Shooting Range.

There were only three major points of interest along the entire flight path. It was obvious that landing at any of them would mean an immediate, intense gunfight.

"Brother Fang, where are we dropping?"

The plane had taken off, and Bufan was the first to ask.

"Up to you guys. I’m good with dropping anywhere."
