27: Crown Song God

"Ding~ female manager Qi Li's impression of Lin Fan has reached 0%, utterly disappointed!"

"Host receives 20,000 points. Lin Fan's Protagonist Luck decreases by 3,000, currently at 3,100 points."

As expected, Li Quan received 20,000 points from Qi Li, and a Silver Lucky Draw Card as a reward for completing the System mission.

He hadn't expected Lin Fan to completely screw himself over this time.

Not only did he lose the female lead, but his Protagonist Luck was directly cut in half!

"No need to thank me; we are acquaintances, after all."

Li Quan's tone was not close, even revealing a sense of distance.

This made the grateful smile on Qi Li's face seem a little forced.

"Li Quan, you're a bit different from before."

Tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, Qi Li revealed her delicate profile, hugging her knees and tilting her head to look at Li Quan.

"Really?" Hearing this, Li Quan said calmly, "Perhaps my parents' passing made me see some people clearly."

This statement made Qi Li fall silent.

Yes, it was after his parents died that this man began to change.

"I used to be... a bit harsh and neglectful towards you. I'm sorry." Qi Li's voice was soft and hopeful at the same time: "If possible, can we be friends again?"

"You don't need to say these things to me." Li Quan shook his head: "The day we broke off our engagement, we should have stopped all contact."

Li Quan's answer made Qi Li's heart tighten.

It was also at this moment.

The female manager rushed over with several medical staff, looking very anxious.

"Sister Qi Li, have you recovered?" Seeing Qi Li sitting quietly in a corner of the sofa, no longer disoriented, the manager's tone was full of pleasant surprise.

"Much better." A slight smile appeared on Qi Li's face.

"Still, let the doctor examine you. It wouldn't be good if there were any lingering after-effects!"

While speaking, the manager gestured for the medical staff to come forward.

A few minutes later, the doctors nodded to each other: "Young Miss Qi Li has no injuries, but there is still damage from drug residue."

"She will make a full recovery after resting for a day or two."

"Phew, that's good." The manager was immensely relieved.

Then she thought of something else and quickly stopped the doctor: "Oh, by the way, can Sister Qi Li still perform at the concert?"

"This... I'm afraid not." A doctor shook his head: "It's not that there will be lingering after-effects, but given her current physical condition, singing on stage would very likely lead to her fainting from exhaustion."

"Ah?" The manager was stunned. She had thought it was a false alarm, but now this situation put them in an extremely troublesome predicament.

Outside, the concert had a live audience of 100,000, with tens of millions of netizens also watching.

Qi Li's early departure and the long delay in her return to the stage had already caused a chorus of dissatisfaction outside.

Now, if Qi Li didn't perform at all...

Not to mention the ticket money for those 100,000 people, it would likely deal a severe blow to Qi Li's career!

"I'm fine." Qi Li naturally knew the importance of this concert. Leaning on the sofa, she forced herself to stand up.

However, with a sway, she fell back onto the sofa.

"Sister Qi Li, don't hurt yourself." The manager draped a coat over Qi Li: "If the concert is canceled, it's canceled. Don't ruin your health!"

"No." On Qi Li's beautiful yet pale face, there was a rare stubbornness: "I've been preparing for this concert for a year, and I promised to give my fans the best concert."

"I cannot break my word!"

"In your current state, you can't even stand steadily on stage, how can you sing?" The manager's face was filled with distress and anxiety.

Li Quan witnessed everything happening in the lounge... "Ding~ Detecting a change in Host's emotions, new mission issued."

Reclaim the concert.

Mission success: Reward with a random movie.

Mission failure: No penalty.

Description: Host previously worked tirelessly to organize Qi Li's concert, handling all sorts of miscellaneous tasks. This concert was originally created by Host, so why should it benefit someone else? Please, Host, step onto the stage of your own concert and crown yourself the God of Song!

The mission issued by the System startled Li Quan.

Ye Tian secretly shook his head. As the System, he was doing his duty.

Ye Tian understood that Li Quan wanted to help Qi Li salvage this concert, but he was too proud to do so.

There was nothing he could do but offer Li Quan a way out in the form of a mission.

In the mission, Ye Tian did not mention helping Qi Li salvage the concert, but rather approached it from a different angle.

Li Quan clearly fell for it... In the lounge.

Realizing that she truly no longer had the energy to perform at the concert, Qi Li's eyes reddened slightly.

"Go tell everyone, this concert is canceled."

Ultimately, it was Qi Li who gave the order.

The manager nodded quickly and ran off to make arrangements.

As the people in the lounge left, Qi Li subconsciously looked towards Li Quan's spot.

Only then did she realize that it was empty.

In the concert group chat.

Qi Li's manager sent a message.

"@All members, director team, please inform the audience outside that tonight's concert ends here."

The message went out.

The group chat instantly exploded.

"What happened? There's still so much time left, why is it suddenly ending?"

"Exactly, the traffic is still soaring, how can they cancel the concert at such a critical moment!"

"Did something happen to Sister Qi?"

One message after another popped up, and Qi Li herself finally spoke in the group: "There was a sudden temporary situation, and canceling is a last resort."

Alright.

Even the group owner said so.

Even if others were extremely unwilling, they could only sigh to the heavens.

Camera crew: "Sister Qi Li, we've filmed someone going from backstage onto the stage. Is that someone we arranged?"

Someone went on stage?

Seeing the message in the group, Qi Li frowned slightly.

She looked at the TV hanging on the wall in the lounge.

On the TV was a 360° unobstructed view of the stage.

The audience was already in an uproar.

At this moment, a man walked onto the stage, gradually drawing everyone's attention.

The stage lighting was dim, but Qi Li still recognized the man at first glance.

"Li Quan?!"

On the dark stage, a beam of light enveloped Li Quan.

Facing 100,000 pairs of eyes, Li Quan stood in the middle of the stage and picked up the microphone: "Welcome everyone to my concert."

His pleasant voice resonated throughout the entire concert.

Everyone who heard this sentence was full of questions.

"Isn't this Qi Li's concert? Who are you? What do you mean 'your concert'?"

"Exactly, where did he come from? Get down, let Qi Li come on stage!"

"What the hell is this concert doing? Big brother, we don't know you!"

As expected, the entire concert descended into chaos, with many people even shouting for refunds.

Seeing this scene, Qi Li in the lounge sighed slightly. She could also guess that if she wasn't there, the audience wouldn't be satisfied.

However.

Facing so many people's curses and doubts.

Li Quan, standing on the stage, smiled calmly: "Next, I'll bring you a song, 'Blue and White Porcelain'."
