After finishing a song, Tang Feng glanced at the number of people in the adjacent room and couldn't help but be startled. The number had jumped from over three hundred to over five hundred directly.
Yellow Guardian Little Pig: "Wow... Young Master Feng, it's so good! Look, a plane!"
Just as Little Pig's message was sent, a message appeared on the public screen: "Little Pig sends a plane to Young Master Feng!"
An animation of a plane flying in appeared on the screen! This was a prop animation from the Starlight Stage. A plane costs ten thousand Starlight Coins, which is equivalent to one hundred Huayuan. Tang Feng would receive forty percent, which is forty Huayuan.
Piggy: "Wow, what was that song just now? I've never heard it before!"
Silver Guardian Egg's Sadness @ Piggy: "This is Young Master Feng's original song, called 'Pig's Song.' It's a gift Young Master Feng gave to Little Pig!"
Piggy: "Original? Wow, it's so good! So fun! Look, a volcano is erupting!"
"Piggy sends a volcano to Young Master Feng!" The animation of a volcano appeared in the live stream. A volcano is equivalent to ten planes, making it the most expensive gift Tang Feng has received since his live streaming debut. It is worth one hundred thousand Starlight Coins, or one thousand Huayuan.
Several more viewers sent gifts, all exclaiming "So good and so fun!"
Silver Guardian Egg's Sadness: "So good, so fun, sing it again! Keep the formation!"
Yellow Guardian Little Pig: "So good, so fun, sing it again! Keep the formation!"
Piggy: "So good, so fun, sing it again! Keep the formation!"
"..." A bunch of copy-pasted messages followed.
"Alright, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll sing it again!" Tang Feng smiled, looking at the message flooding the public screen.
Just as he was about to sing, he noticed a private message from Yellow Guardian Little Pig: "Young Master Feng, wait a moment, I'll send a broadcast. Such a good song, with so few people, it's a waste!"
Tang Feng glanced at the current room count, which was just over six hundred, still some distance from one thousand. He replied, "Okay!"
"Amazing song of the Year of the Pig, 'Pig's Song,' absolutely original and first release. Miss it and you'll regret it! Hurry over!" The broadcast was sent three times.
Welcome "Count" Dream as You Wish!
Welcome "Duke" Wind-like Man!
...
Count Dream as You Wish: "Heard there's a legendary song, came to check it out!"
Duke Wind-like Man: "Same here! If it's good, I won't skimp on money!"
...
While a Count in the Starlight Stage isn't considered a major tycoon, they still need to have spent over four million Starlight Coins, or forty thousand Huayuan.
A Duke needs to have spent six million Starlight Coins, equivalent to sixty thousand Huayuan. And Tang Feng's Yellow Guardian is a Baron, having spent two million Starlight Coins, or twenty thousand Huayuan.
Tang Feng glanced at the current room count; a few broadcasts had attracted over three hundred more people, almost filling the room.
However, if the show wasn't entertaining, the number would quickly drop.
"Pig's Song, for everyone!"
"Pig, your nose has two holes, when you have a cold, you have a runny nose."
"..."
Duke Wind-like Man: "Good, I'll give a reward!"
"Wind-like Man sends ten aircraft carriers to Young Master Feng!"
Whoosh, ten aircraft carriers instantly filled the entire screen.
"Piggy becomes this room's Gold Guardian!"
"Thanks for the aircraft carriers, Wind-like Man, let's be friends! Haha!" Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Wow, our room's second Gold Guardian is born, thanks, Piggy, but why are both of them little pigs?"
Duke Wind-like Man: "Young Master Feng, another original song, and I'll give you a year's Gold Guardian! I'm not short of money!"
Count Dream as You Wish: "Another original song, and I'll give a Gold Guardian too!"
Gold Guardian Little Pig: "I'm going all out, Young Master Feng, another original song, and if it's good, I'll go for Diamond!"
Tang Feng couldn't help but show a bitter smile at the messages on the public screen, but the temptation was indeed great.
"Speaking of which, a gentleman loves wealth, and who am I to deny it? I'm going all out today, if it's not good, don't throw eggs at me!" Tang Feng said.
"Sending 'Miss Dong' to everyone! Hope you like it."
As his fingers strummed, Tang Feng began to sing 'Miss Dong.' This song has always been one of the former Tang Feng's favorites, especially the line: "I fell in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie."
The melody of 'Miss Dong' is inherently gentle. When the guitar started, the public screen was still flooded with messages.
When Tang Feng's slightly hoarse voice began, the messages on the public screen suddenly decreased.
"Miss Dong, you never forget your smile, even if you and I are the same, we both yearn for aging." Unconsciously, when he sang this line, Tang Feng couldn't help but put himself into it. This line, originally ordinary, took on a strange穿透力 when sung by Tang Feng's voice, which didn't match his age, piercing into everyone's ears.
"Miss Dong, when your lips turn downward, you are beautiful..." For some reason, Tang Feng suddenly thought of his first girlfriend from years ago.
"Miss Dong, I am also a complex creature, a passing remark, but it repeats in my mind." The calm and peaceful melody seemed not to be singing but slowly narrating.
"Miss Dong, the night at Gulou passes quickly..."
"So those things might not be true, Miss Dong, you are not a girl without a story, I fell in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie, this makes me feel desperate... Miss Dong..."
The line "I fell in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie" struck a chord with many viewers. Many people couldn't help but put themselves in the song, and the emotional dam in their hearts began to crumble, with some more sensitive people shedding tears.
I fell in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie. Tang Feng's eyes carried a hint of沧桑, recalling the helplessness of the moment they broke up.
Everyone has a Miss Dong in their heart, that wild horse they can't forget but can only watch gallop towards her own prairie, that "Miss Dong" who can never be together, becoming the most unspoken secret in many people's hearts. Tang Feng sang "her," directly hitting the "unattainable love" in everyone's heart, the helplessness, melancholy, and pain.
When Tang Feng finished the first round, he suddenly noticed that the messages on the public screen had stopped. The room count had unknowingly reached its maximum, with over a thousand people in the chat room, all in silence.
After a few seconds, the public screen suddenly went wild with messages.
Duke Wind-like Man: "I'm so moved, I want to cry!"
Gold Guardian Piggy: "Wah... I'm already crying! I fell in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie, Young Master Feng, you're so mean! Wah..."
Gold Guardian Little Pig: "So good, I thought of my Miss Dong, no question, I'll go for Diamond!"
Prince Drunken Life and Dream: "Miss Dong, Young Master Feng, you could release an album, this song, it touches my heart!"
