Chapter 60 Triple Rewards—Now It's the Real Deal

"Damn, I really didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”
Faced with the curious and admiring gazes of the other guests, Bai Ling blurted out her thoughts.
She swore to herself that she was genuinely only here to make money, to simply release a song.
The reason she chose “Invisible Wings” was because she knew the song was a classic and would surely perform well.
In her estimation, the best she could hope for was to reach the level of “Under the Sea,” maybe even climb a few spots higher.
But now, this was far more than just a few extra places higher—
She had broken through every barrier!
She had even become, in the eyes of both singers and fans alike, the “most promising new artist likely to challenge for the Diva’s crown.”
But was that really the case?
Was Bai Ling truly the only one who still thought herself nothing but a novice?
Was this really appropriate?
It didn’t seem so!
However, upon learning that the system had rewarded her again while she slept, Bai Ling’s anxiety eased considerably.
“Top-tier Harmonics!”
“Master-level Pronunciation Technique!”
“Hall of Fame High Notes!”
Three rewards—all astonishing.
After granting her a godly voice just last night, the system had now bestowed three more specialized musical skills.
Just hearing their names, one could tell these were anything but ordinary.
Harmonics—an absolutely vital part of any song.
The reason some songs sound so gentle and full of charm is their flawless, melodious harmonies.
Now, Bai Ling could sing peerlessly beautiful harmonies herself; to use them in her music would be nothing short of formidable.
Master-level Pronunciation Technique was somewhat akin to the throat-singing displayed by Master Jin Chenglin last night, but with a broader range.
With this ability, Bai Ling could easily master different vocal techniques—chest resonance, nasal resonance, and more.
She could even alter her timbre at will, combining this with her already much-improved vocal quality and godly singing voice.
She could easily rival the vocal prowess of any diva.
Wasn’t that terrifying?
And as for Hall of Fame High Notes—this was truly heavyweight!
In many songs, high notes have become the ultimate display of technical skill.
There’s even a variety show where all the guests compete to show off their highest notes, as proof of their singing abilities.
That show is jokingly called “Who Can Go Higher Than Me?”
But honestly, that’s understandable.
To sing high notes and remain stable is the most direct demonstration of one’s vocal mastery.

Female singers already have far more impressive ranges than their male counterparts.
Now, with these Hall of Fame High Notes, Bai Ling could easily deliver a “world-shattering high note.”
Tsk!
At this point, Bai Ling realized she had truly transformed from a rookie into a master.
Even the online comments calling her “the new singer most likely to contend for Diva status” no longer sounded like wild exaggerations.
But truth be told, Bai Ling wasn’t all that excited about the current situation.
She didn’t fully grasp the concept of fame and fortune.
Compared to everything happening now, her previous moments of overnight fame seemed like child’s play.
It was all beyond her comprehension!
So Bai Ling decided to enter the livestream room for “Come Celebrate the New Year at My Home.”
The moment she entered, she felt it—
The entire screen was filled with her name!
She logged into her social media account.
She’d originally had around four million followers; that number had already surged the night before.
But now, it had reached about seven million.
Nearly double!
True, Bai Ling’s followers still didn’t match those of Lin Yubai, the youngest Best Actor.
But how many years had Lin Yubai been in the business?
How many works had he accumulated to build such fame and reputation, to create his fanbase?
How long had it been since Bai Ling’s rise to stardom?
A few weeks?
Was there really any comparison?
“Miss Bai, congratulations!”
Lin Yubai took this moment to offer his congratulations.
The others followed suit.
That breakfast was suddenly lively, with Bai Ling as the central topic.
Only Wen Yan looked stiff, completely unable to adapt to the current situation.
Everything she saw and heard felt like a dream—
A reality hard to accept.
After breakfast, Director Wang and the rest smiled and said, “Alright, since everyone’s finished, let’s stick to yesterday’s plan.”
“Lin Yubai, Ouyang Ruofeng, and Wen Yan will stay behind. The rest of you can go on the field trip.”
Bai Ling noticed that Director Wang seemed especially energetic today.
She didn’t bother guessing why—
The reason was plain to see.
Once properly dressed, Bai Ling and Zhuge Ming set out with the four seniors.

The so-called field trip was, in fact, a hike up the mountain.
At the mere thought of hiking, Zhuge Ming’s legs started to tremble.
He dreaded a repeat of yesterday, with everyone questioning his abilities—he couldn’t handle that again.
Fortunately, this time the chosen route was different—flatter and more suited to sightseeing.
Zhuge Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he wouldn’t embarrass himself twice.
But this time, the path up the mountain passed by a primary school.
When they saw the school, the guests immediately understood.
So the real intention wasn’t the field trip at all.
Who cared about sightseeing?
The focus was the school!
Zhoujia Village was a mountain village with beautiful, scenic surroundings.
But being a village, the school naturally wasn’t in great shape.
Even from a distance, they could see it was only a simple two-story building, forming a small circle—less than three hundred square meters, including the playground.
For a school, it was almost unbelievably small.
Judging by its condition, it hadn’t been maintained for years and looked rather rundown.
Jin Chenglin and Wen Haiquan quickly grasped the director’s intention and said, “It’s a school—let’s go take a closer look.”
As they approached, they heard clear, bright voices reciting.
In such circumstances, it really was a unique and moving feeling.
Jin Chenglin turned to the crew and said, “Director Wang, what’s the plan?”
“You specifically brought us here—surely there’s a reason.”
By now, it was obvious to anyone where this route was leading.
The production team had laid the script right out for the audience.
But no one minded this kind of script.
Director Wang smiled and said, “A field trip can mean natural scenery or cultural exploration.”
“Today, you have two choices.”
“You can go up the mountain and stroll around, or you can volunteer at the school to help ease the teachers’ burden.”
“So, what do you all say?”
Wen Haiquan laughed, “Director Wang, you really are too polite. You could have just had us go in, but you had to give us two choices.”
