For these wealthy families' Young Masters, participating in a Song Gathering where the stakes are measured in kilograms of gold is hardly a big deal.
As long as they can elicit a smile from a beautiful woman, they feel completely satisfied.
Of course, if they can outshine other young masters and deliver an impressive performance at the Song Gathering, leaving a deep and perfect impression on Ren Ling, that would be even better.
Winning first place and receiving a kiss of victory from Ren Ling is their unwavering ultimate aspiration!
Ren Ling has personally stated that at the Song Gathering she organizes, whoever scores the highest will receive her most passionate kiss as an additional reward for the victor.
This is the greatest motivation that drives these Young Masters to eagerly attend the event.
However, so far, no Young Master has ever won Ren Ling's kiss, as the highest score at each Song Gathering has always been claimed by Ren Ling herself, who sings beautifully to send everyone off.
Ren Ling's musical talent and skill far surpass those of these Young Masters, making it only natural for her to achieve high scores.
The Young Masters can only hope for Ren Ling to make a mistake, which would give them a chance to turn the tables and win her kiss.
But the odds of that happening are slim.
Ren Ling's voice can effortlessly command the entire audience, and with her ability to award herself extra points, challenging her is nearly an impossible task.
Yet, the Young Masters still hope for a miracle, wishing to be favored by fate.
Unfortunately, their lack of artistic talent and the absence of human artistic essence make it difficult for these Young Masters to produce any miracles.
They can't even conquer the harsh scoring machine created by Ren Ling.
The Celebration Concert has been held for over two years, yet no one has ever scored above 7 points on this scoring machine.
Perhaps fearing that high scores would lead to excessive payouts, Ren Ling designed the scoring system to be quite harsh.
She herself has never received a particularly high score from this machine.
Currently, the highest score recorded at Song Gathering is 68 points, achieved by Ren Ling last year.
Typically, performances by the Noble Young Master tend to score in the thirties or forties on the machine, and reaching 5 points is considered astonishing.
If it weren't for Ren Ling generously awarding them extra points, they would consistently finish at the bottom every time they participated in Song Gathering.
These Young Masters are well aware that the extra points in Ren Ling's hands are crucial for them, so they go to great lengths in various ways to earn her smile and secure more additional points.
Take Hu Rengui, who is currently performing. His vocal abilities are lacking, so he has taken a different approach by developing impressive guitar skills that have earned him admiration from the Apocalyptic People.
He also enjoys writing songs for Ren Ling and even choreographs dance moves for his maidens, truly going to great lengths to win her favor.
The song he is currently singing is a love tribute he wrote for Ren Ling—“You Are the Brightest Star in the Sky”:
“...Your eyes~
Outshine the brightest stars~
Your smile~
Makes my soul yearn~
Ah~~~~
Beauty~~~
You are the brightest star above~
I would willingly~
Gaze upon you for eternity!…”
Hu Rengui sang with deep emotion and seriousness, but to Ren Ling, it was merely interesting, without any other feelings.
In fact, for Ren Ling, who was in high spirits, finding Hu Rengui's performance interesting was already quite remarkable.
When Ren Xiao entered the main hall with Chen Zao, Hu Rengui's raspy voice was still passionately performing.
Due to the scoring segment, everyone in the hall, including Ren Ling, refrained from making loud noises or any other sounds that might disturb Hu Rengui's scoring.
This was the least respect they could show for Hu Rengui's performance. Everyone had participated in such Song Gatherings before and understood this rule.
Ren Xiao had come to observe Ren Ling's Celebration Concert, so she also understood this rule.
Before entering, she raised her index finger to her lips and made a gesture for Chen Zao to be quiet, then quietly led Chen Zao into the main hall.
Inside the somewhat crowded hall, there were not only the ten young masters officially participating in the Song Gathering but also their servants and maids.
Ren Ling humanely arranged several rows of long benches for these servants and maids near the outer edge of the hall so they could sit and enjoy the performance as well.
After bringing Chen Zao into the room, Ren Xiao sat down on the outermost bench where no one was seated, not wanting to disturb Ren Ling's enjoyment of the singing.
Chen Zao was curious about the conspicuous Large Wooden Box and quietly asked Ren Xiao about it.
Ren Xiao covered her mouth with her hand and explained to Chen Zao in a low voice the betting rules of the Ling-style Song Gathering.
Chen Zao was immediately intrigued to learn that there were even betting stakes involved in this singing event!
Although in the Golden Age, Chen Zao's singing and guitar playing skills were merely at an amateur level, she was confident that she could easily outshine Hu Rengui's utterly unremarkable performance.
He wasn't sure if he was qualified to participate in the Song Gathering challenge. If he was, he wouldn't need to rely on the food that Ren Ling didn't particularly like to win her over; just singing and playing the guitar would be enough to leave her broke!
Chen Zao was eager to see how many points Hu Rengui could score with such a mediocre performance. If someone could sing like that and not lose to gold, then Chen Zao would definitely showcase his vocal talents at this Song Gathering tonight.
Just as Hu Rengui was nearing the end of his performance, preparing for the most exciting part of his guitar solo, an unexpected incident occurred.
Ren Xiao, caught up in the excitement, accidentally bumped into Chen Zao's Silver Pot package resting on the bench.
"Clang!"
The Silver Pot fell to the ground with a loud noise, shattering the harmonious guitar solo that Hu Rengui had worked so hard to produce. It felt like a pot of freshly brewed soup had been ruined by a single piece of dirt—truly frustrating!
Everyone turned their attention toward Chen Zao and Ren Xiao's seats.
Chen Zao was tall and noticeable, making him stand out much more than Ren Xiao.
With everyone looking over, all the blame and disdain naturally fell upon the unfamiliar Black Giant, Chen Zao.
Ignoring the glares from others, Chen Zao hurriedly picked up his precious Silver Pot and opened it to check for any damage.
His actions only made everyone more convinced that he was responsible for the noise.
Even Ren Ling shot him an annoyed glance, thinking that this chef had no sense of decorum!
How bizarre!
He was holding Ren Long's Chamber Pot so carefully instead of by its handle; he was actually cradling the body of the pot with his hands and even reaching inside!
My goodness!
Doesn't he find it dirty?
As a chef, how does he lack even the most basic hygiene awareness!
What kind of chef is Ren Xiao bringing here!
It's really disappointing!
Ren Ling instantly lost the desire to eat the food made by Chen Zao.
