HCB Chapter 106 Bounty Hunter
Chapter 106 Bounty Hunter
But Bai Li was taken aback when she heard this.
What are they singing?
Why is the background music "Home with Kids" but the lyrics are "Alcoholic Transformation"?
You can mix and match like this???
Unexpectedly, the lyrics of "Ever-Changing Alcohol" and the rhythm of "Home with Kids" fit together perfectly, and even suit each other very well.
It has to be said, it was such a coincidence.
Bai Li recognized the contestant; he was the one who sang a Rap Freestyle during the competition and made everyone in the audience call him "husband."
The name is...
—Jialai.
It has to be said that Jia Lai actually has some talent when it comes to singing.
She has a great voice and a very accurate grasp of rhythm in her raps.
Moreover, he knows how to make a show, and his whole being is full of entertainment value.
The songs from "Home with Kids" are upbeat and catchy, making them perfect as a warm-up song, not to mention the mix-and-match style.
As soon as the song came out, the atmosphere in the entire venue was hyped up, and the live stream chat was filled with question marks floating on the screen.
Just then, the singer abruptly stopped singing, leaving only his anxious voice speaking:
"Hey, someone help me! Help me! Don't let me die!"
After saying that, he quickly got back on track, and the rhythm of the song was not interrupted.
Bai Li was stunned, a look of confusion on her face, unable to figure out what was going on for a moment.
Why did you suddenly start talking when you were just singing?
What is Jia Lai doing?
The upbeat song continued, and just as Bai Li was getting into it again.
The singing stopped abruptly again.
All that remained was Jia Lai's enthusiastic shout: "An airdrop!"
After shouting that, he steadily moved into the next beat.
Now Bai Li understood what he was doing.
Good grief, they even picked up airdrops.
Is he playing video games and singing at the same time?
While Bai Li chuckled, she also felt a bit of admiration for Jia Lai.
She can multitask, switching effortlessly between gaming and singing, playing games with passion while singing with energy.
How much control does one have over a song? And how proficient is one in rapping to do that?
I wonder how many times he sang this song before he could sing it so fluently.
It's incredibly strong.
Moreover, he is probably the only person who dares to play games and sing in front of 50 audience members without any tension or restraint, exuding a relaxed feeling.
In a formal competition, you definitely can't do that—singing while playing games, and then having to communicate with your teammates in the game halfway through the song.
If someone actually did that, that would be disrespectful to the competition.
No matter how well someone sings, or how much Bai Li likes them, she will absolutely not let such a contestant advance.
But since it's just for warming up the crowd, it doesn't matter.
Singing in a relaxed manner actually creates a better warm-up effect.
As the singing and game sound effects intertwined, the atmosphere in the live stream became increasingly lively.
The audience was captivated by his unique performance style, and the live chat was flooded with comments:
—"Hahaha, so prosperous and bustling, so confusing!"
"Jialai! Stop singing! Shrink the circle! Jialai! Stop singing! Shrink the circle! Jialai! Stop singing! Shrink the circle!"
—"Wow, that's amazing! Singing while playing games and still staying so steady!"
Bai Li found that she actually quite liked his casual yet confident singing style.
Judging from Jia Lai's experienced demeanor, he shouldn't be some unknown figure on the internet.
Bai Li found the Mountain Spirit's WeChat account.
Bai Li: Teacher Shan Gui, do you know Jia Lai?
When Shan Gui received Bai Li's WeChat message, he happened to be on the music channel, so he immediately knew that Bai Li was curious about Jia Lai, who was singing.
I don't know why, but even though I and Bai Li are boss and employee, there seems to be no sense of distance between us.
The two people communicated more like friends.
Bai Li always called himself Teacher Mountain Ghost, which always made him feel uneasy.
Perhaps it's because he shamelessly begged for this master-disciple relationship.
It could also be due to some other unspeakable reasons.
If...
He felt that his apprentice...
Or rather, you think your boss is adorable...
Isn't it a bit...?
abnormal?
This feeling was unfamiliar to the mountain spirit.
Guan Yu wouldn't find Zhang Fei cute, would he?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei probably wouldn't find Liu Bei cute either.
So, what exactly is his relationship with Bai Li?
Is it a superior-subordinate relationship? A mentor-apprentice relationship? Or a friendship?
None of them seem quite right.
Having been a straight man for over twenty years, with music as his only focus and a blank slate in terms of emotions, Teacher Shan Gui has fallen into a "strange cycle" for the first time.
Just like now, when he received Bai Li's text message, his first reaction was happiness.
But when he saw that Bai Li was asking about another man, and that this man was his good brother, his mood became somewhat depressed.
But he still obediently told Bai Li all the information about Jia Lai.
After being given a lecture by the mountain spirit, Bai Li finally understood who Jia Lai really was.
There is a group of "bounty hunters" on this internet.
They specialize in participating in various online music competitions.
It wasn't for fame, nor to get to know the competition organizers, nor to receive comments.
They're in it for the prize money from these online music competitions; they're in it to make money.
Jia Lai is such a "bounty hunter".
Moreover, they are among the top bounty hunters, participating in online competitions everywhere and making a living with the prize money.
Don't underestimate these music competitions on the internet.
Some music competitions are hosted by top livestreamers, and the prize money for the top three winners can be in the five figures.
There are also some competitions organized by the official voice software companies, and the prize money for these competitions is quite substantial, sometimes even reaching six figures.
Although competitions are not frequent.
But just one prize is enough for Jia Lai to live on for a long time.
He doesn't have any grand ambitions. He doesn't want to go to the voice chat room because it's too tiring, and he doesn't want to do live streaming because that would involve joining a guild and signing contracts, which is too troublesome.
If he decides he doesn't want to continue working there, and he breaches the contract, even selling him wouldn't be enough to cover the breach of contract penalty.
That's why he decided to become a "bounty hunter".
This is also what makes Jia Lai so remarkable. Every time he participates in a competition, although he may not win the championship, he will definitely get a place if nothing unexpected happens.
No wonder...
Bai Li exclaimed, "No wonder she dared to choose a freestyle song during the audition, and dared to sing a warm-up song while playing games in front of 50 audience members."
This sense of ease and this level of proficiency are clearly qualities only experienced internet singers possess.
With such a generous prize pool for this competition, Jia Lai, a seasoned bounty hunter, would definitely be there, especially since the first prize is a whopping 500 million.
If I could get first place, wouldn't I become rich overnight?
From now on, they can retire from this business and stop doing it.
Bai Li suddenly realized.
After thanking the mountain spirit, Bai Li asked, "How do you know so much?"
