Chapter 9 "Someone Like Me"

Gong Nanbei got up directly from bed, without caring about being disruptive, and took out his guitar. The fans in the live streaming room understood immediately that their beloved streamer was about to fight back!

He immediately started dominating the screen, countering the other party's provocative comments by showering gifts! Let their barrage disappear in the sea of gifts!

Gong Nanbei looked at the gifts flooding in and adjusted his guitar before saying, "I didn't originally plan to compete for any Song King title. Thank you all for supporting me so much. Here, I want to dedicate a song to all my fans! Thank you for your support along the way!"

The gifts in the live streaming room became even more lively, with many trolls trying to provoke him.

"Sing! I want to see how this trash compares to my beloved Lin Biruo!"

"Heh heh, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Now anyone dares to be a singing streamer!"

Gong Nanbei was not affected by these comments. With his guitar in his arms, the ship captain sitting at his feet, he closed his eyes and sang quietly.

"Someone like me, an exceptional person"

"I should have lived a brilliant life"

"Why, after over twenty years, am I still lost"

"Wandering in a sea of people"

Gong Nanbei's voice had a unique quality, a little husky, a little melancholic. As soon as he sang the first two lines, the trolls in the live streaming room exploded once again.

"Hahaha! There really are shameless people like this!"

"That's right, that's right. What's so exceptional about you? I think you just have thick skin!"

Gong Nanbei closed his eyes and didn't even look at these comments. He sang his song calmly.

"Someone like me, a clever person"

"Has long bid farewell to innocence"

"And yet still used a relationship"

"To exchange for wounds"

"Someone like me, a lost person"

"Someone like me, a searching person"

"Someone like me, idle and useless"

"How many people have you encountered?"

The trolls' remarks became fewer and fewer. It wasn't because their moral standards suddenly improved. They realized that in this person's singing voice, there were stories. He wasn't just singing; he was pointing at his own past, telling you every little detail that had happened!

"Someone like me, a vulgar person"

"Never liked pretending to be profound"

"But how is it that when an old song is occasionally heard"

"Suddenly panic sets in"

Halfway through the song, there were almost no more comments in the live streaming room. Even the insults ceased, and most people looked quietly at the young man in front of them. They saw him holding a guitar, surrounded by dim light, with a shaved cat lying at his feet.

The combination of unrelated elements created a strange beauty.

"Someone like me, a cowardly person"

"Always leaving room for everything"

"How is it that I once fervently"

"Thought of sacrificing everything"

At some point, many viewers found themselves holding their noses. Their noses felt a little sour. Since the moment they were born, they had believed that they were the protagonists of their families, that they would surely achieve great things in the world, with luxury cars and beautiful women by their side.

But reality turned out differently than they had imagined.

Yes, someone as outstanding as themselves should have lived a brilliant life, so why hadn't they succeeded yet?

"Someone like me, a lonely person"

"Someone like me, a foolish person"

"Someone like me, unwilling to be ordinary"

"How many people are there in the world like me?"

"Someone like me, inexplicable"

"Will anyone feel sorry for me?"

The sound of the guitar stopped, and the comments in the live streaming room fell silent. Even the gifts had stopped.

Many people had not yet come out of the song's spell. We were just in our twenties, having just entered society, feeling full of ambition without an outlet!

We believed that we would definitely make a great impact on this world, that we had a promising future ahead of us! Driving luxury cars, accompanied by money and beautiful women.

But things didn't go as planned. They constantly encountered setbacks, leaving them bruised and battered, doubting themselves.

Am I not good enough? Am I not outstanding enough? Why am I always the unlucky one?

Who isn't lost in their youth? How many people know what they should do and how to do it?

It's all about hitting walls, walls, and more walls until they eventually find the path that suits them, even if it wasn't their first choice or what they wanted.

Everyone is fragile, just as the song says. How is it that when an old song is occasionally heard, suddenly panic sets in?

The adult world is strong, but often it is also fragile. They persist, persist, and persist! They don't want others to see their weakness, but occasionally, when they hear a melody that touches their hearts, it's like the last straw that breaks the camel's back, shattering their disguise!

"Someone like me" is that last straw!

At this moment, countless viewers watching the live stream on their screens were in tears.

Even those internet trolls, at this moment, took their hands off the keyboard. When they were children, they all wanted to become heroes, but as they grew up, they often became the little people they despised.

"Being a man is so difficult! I'm giving away ten pairs of tickets to the 1314 concert!"

"Being a man is so difficult! I'm giving away ten pairs of tickets to the 1314 concert!"

"Being a man is so difficult! I'm giving away ten pairs of tickets to the 1314 concert!"

"My tenderness, you won't understand. I'm giving away ten pairs of tickets to the 1314 concert!"

After a dozen seconds, the gifts started skyrocketing! At this moment, not only Gong Nanbei's fans were showering gifts, but even many of the previous trolls were also sending gifts. They were conquered by Gong Nanbei's singing voice!

Seeing this, Gong Nanbei smiled and said, "My friends, starting today, I want to compete for the title of Song King. I am currently ranked 50th, and for every ten positions I advance, I will randomly choose a lucky viewer in the live streaming room and create a song based on their story and needs."

As soon as Gong Nanbei said this, the live streaming room exploded. His old fans knew of his talent in songwriting! But if every new song was of the same quality as before, wouldn't that be too exaggerated?

Gong Nanbei's singing was simple, accompanied only by a guitar. What if he had full musical accompaniment?

He was currently in 50th place, which meant that if Gong Nanbei won first place, he would need to sing at least four songs! This immediately drove his old fans in the live streaming room crazy. Previously, they could only rely on luck to hear Gong Nanbei sing, but now they had the chance to hear four songs. And if the lucky viewer was themselves? That would be even more exciting!

The gifts began to explode, and simultaneously, his ranking started to rise.

Some of the previous small trolls had even converted into Gong Nanbei's fans. Only a small group of die-hard haters were still trying to provoke in Gong Nanbei's live streaming room, but their efforts were in vain.

Xu Biluo's plan seemed good, but alas, Gong Nanbei came in with a powerful attack right from the start! He managed to lure away many of her fans, and some even went to Xu Biluo's live streaming room, sending gifts to Gong Nanbei.

Xu Biluo cried even harder, feeling immensely wronged. With her tears, the number of gifts she received also skyrocketed. From the looks of it, she really intended to stick to Gong Nanbei!

Meanwhile, Gong Nanbei slyly went offline while still in his sleeping bag!
