Chapter 10

Determined to sit tight and fish, Luoyang continued to write his stored chapters diligently.

Just like this, he sat alone in the room, tapping away at the keyboard, writing until evening before he finally stopped.

Looking at his half-day's work, Luoyang was surprised: "My typing speed is really too fast now, isn't it?"

In just a short afternoon, Luoyang had managed to write over 20,000 words of stored chapters!

In his previous life, even if he typed for a whole day, he definitely couldn't write this much!

"My typing speed has been getting faster and faster recently, to the point where it's almost unreasonable... Could it be that crossing over really does come with a golden finger as a reward?" Luoyang found it hard to believe.

He specifically looked up information online but couldn't find any clear answers.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter. If it's something that benefits me, why worry about it?"

After thinking it through, Luoyang didn't bother to investigate further. After all, as a writer, typing fast is definitely a good thing. Since it's a good thing, why bother to dig into the details?

He got up and went downstairs to eat.

After finishing his meal, Luoyang took a walk around the neighborhood to help digest his food.

Otherwise, sitting in front of the computer to type right after eating, as he did in his previous life, would eventually ruin his health.

After the walk, Luoyang returned to his room and called Liu Qin.

"Luoyang." Liu Qin answered the call, seeming to be in a good mood.

"How did the competition go?" Liu Qin had been in touch with Luoyang frequently these days, so he knew she had just finished the preliminary round.

"What do you think?" Liu Qin's voice carried a hint of pride.

Hearing her pride, Luoyang knew she must have passed the first round.

"Congratulations!" Luoyang said sincerely.

"Hehe, don't congratulate me yet. When you get back, search for my name on the computer. Let me tell you, I'm... uh, I'm going to become famous!"

Luoyang was taken aback. Did she slip and call herself "sister"?

Was she 38.725% feminized?

"Alright, I'll see how you became famous in the preliminary round." The preliminary round usually has a large number of participants, making it relatively easy to pass.

"Before long, you'll be able to see news about me online all the time! You won't need to call to easily keep up with my latest updates!" Liu Qin boasted to Luoyang.

Luoyang rolled his eyes. You're just starting, and you're already acting like an international superstar?

After hanging up, Luoyang returned to his computer, opened a search engine, typed in "Liu Qin," and hit enter.

Instantly, a full page of headlines appeared.

"Next Top Star: Dark Horse Emerges, Jiangnan Girl Liu Qin's Original Song Stuns Judges!"

"Next Top Star: Liu Qin's Original Song, Audience Applauds Enthusiastically!"

"Dark Horse in Preliminary Round, Original Song Touches Everyone, Her Name is Liu Qin!"

"Beauty and Talent Combined, Next Top Star Nanning Region, Liu Qin Shines!"

"Next Top Star: Original Beauty and Talent, Liu Qin!"

"Live Video of Liu Qin's Original Song, Absolutely Stunning Beauty, Dreamy Figure, and Sweet Voice!"

Seeing the numerous news about Liu Qin online, Luoyang was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Not bad, looks like you got off to a good start."

Then, Luoyang clicked on the live video.

In the video, it was the scene of the preliminary round for Next Top Star.

In the footage, Liu Qin took the microphone from the host and slowly walked onto the stage.

The audience below erupted in cheers when they saw Liu Qin, with some whistling loudly.

Beauty is always the focus, and Liu Qin, with her superior figure and appearance, far outshone the other contestants, causing a stir.

"Stupid humans, a man can make you lose your minds."

Watching the men in the video cheer for Liu Qin, Luoyang felt a sense of superiority, muttering arrogantly.

Then, the music started.

Hearing this familiar tune, Luoyang smiled, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

The audience in the video and the judges on stage were curious about the song, but Luoyang recognized it from the familiar music...

"First Love Dream."

This was a song performed by Fan WeiQi, which was very popular in his previous life. The lyrics were very inspiring and perfect for a competition setting.

Sure enough, the familiar lyrics flowed from Liu Qin's lips.

"If pride hadn't been washed away by the cold waves of reality~

How would we know to work harder~

To reach far-off places~

If dreams hadn't fallen off the cliff~

In a split second~

How would we know that the determined ones~

Have invisible wings~

Planting tears in the heart~

Will bloom into brave flowers~

In times of weariness~

Closing our eyes, we can smell the fragrance~

As if we had a good night's sleep until dawn..."

Luoyang closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the music, and even hummed along. When the song ended, he couldn't help but smile.

This was a song from his previous life, and now hearing Liu Qin sing it was a kind of happiness. Moreover, Liu Qin's voice was very beautiful, giving the song a different flavor compared to the original, leaving a lingering impression.

Sure enough, the audience at the scene erupted in cheers!

Previously, they were cheering for her beauty, but this time, they were conquered by the song!

The song, from its arrangement to its performance, had no flaws. The judges also stood up, clapping enthusiastically.

Liu Qin bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you everyone," causing the audience to cheer even more.

The video ended there.

"I didn't expect you to start with something so big." Luoyang called Liu Qin again.

"First Love Dream" was a great song, with a beautiful melody and inspiring lyrics, making it hard not to like. With Liu Qin's already advantageous appearance, this song would likely catch the attention of the Next Top Star production team.

Calling her a dark horse for this session was not an exaggeration.

Luoyang was also happy for Liu Qin, as she was one step closer to her dream.

"You have to play big to hold the stage!" Liu Qin laughed. "What did you think of it?"

"It sounds great." Luoyang spoke honestly. "Almost as good as the original."

"Uh, uh, uh!" Liu Qin interrupted Luoyang. "Now, I am the original!"

"Me?" Luoyang was dumbfounded. Was she 40% feminized?

"Just a slip of the tongue!" Liu Qin said indignantly. "Since I joined this competition, I've had to constantly learn how to walk and talk like a girl. Otherwise, a group of people would stare at me strangely, and it's exhausting to pretend."

"Nothing is without effort." Luoyang said. He found writing novels tiring too, but because he loved it, he felt it was worth the effort.

"I was just saying. By the way, the second round is tomorrow. I calculated the time, and by the time I reach the finals, you'll have been back at school for a while."

"Are you so confident about making it to the finals?" Luoyang teased.

"As long as the people in this world have the same ears as us, I will definitely make it to the finals!" Liu Qin was extremely confident. Any random song was a classic from Earth, and if someone like her couldn't make it to the finals, there would be a problem with the competition.

Luoyang nodded. With Liu Qin's talent, making it to the finals was not a problem.

"Speaking of which, how's your novel coming along?"

Luoyang smiled. "If I had to describe it in four words... leading the trend."
