Chapter 19 Talent Punishment
With 30 seconds left in the PK, the scores in the other three live streams suddenly surged, indicating that they were all making a final push.

Currently, Shu Hua is in first place, leading second-place Xian Yin by one million points, a score that makes a comeback possible. She is also leading last-place Mi Tao Miao Miao by nearly three million points.
Peach Meow naturally knew that she was probably at the bottom, but she didn't give up the chance to get votes. She said pitifully that even if she lost, she didn't want to lose too badly.
Sure enough, the older guys also had their pride. They felt the score difference was too big and they were embarrassed, so they all reached into their pockets.
However, Lu Han, who is in third place, is in a somewhat awkward position, unable to catch up with those above him or surpass those below him.
However, because of what had just happened, many new viewers had come to her live stream, so she decided to simply showcase her talents and try to gain some new fans.
In the last 10 seconds, the score of the Xuan Yin family surged, and they were indeed preparing to steal the tower.
However, the little housekeeper kept sending gifts, still using the most valuable Cosmic Heart, and with fast hand speed, successfully defended the tower without any suspense.
Fushengruomeng had originally intended to help defend the tower, but then he remembered the "politeness" the streamer had shown towards his gift, and he didn't really want the streamer to express such polite gratitude.
Seeing that the little housekeeper had taken action to defend the tower and his hand speed was quite good, I stopped defending the tower.
The competition ended, and Shu Hua won first place with a large lead, securing the top spot with no suspense, once again reaching a score of over ten million.
A large number of onlookers flocked to the live stream.
Although I trust the little housekeeper's abilities, I have to admit, Shu Hua also became inexplicably nervous in the last ten seconds. Maybe that's the fun of a PK.
My adrenaline is pumping! It's quite exciting.
The PK is over, and everyone's microphones are on.
Xianyin: "Shuhua, you're number one. Want to be punished?"
"Hmm..." Shu Hua thought for a few seconds, then her eyes lit up. "You are all streamers in the talent section, so I'll punish you by making you show off your talents, but you'll have to show off each other's popular talents."
So, following the four-square grid we've connected, proceed clockwise.
In other words, the stringed instrument sings the song of the peach, the peach dances the dance of the deer, and the deer sings the song of the stringed instrument.
Let's start with the one your fans like the most.
Upon hearing Shu Hua's punishment, the three of them paused for a second in unison, then understood.
Since everyone hangs out in the talent section, they naturally know each other to some extent and are aware of each other's "signature works".
Xianyin thought of Peach's sweet little song, and her ear tips turned slightly red. But thankfully, it was still singing, not a crossover, so she accepted it well.
He immediately picked up his guitar, saying, "I'll go first."
Xianyin took a deep breath, her fingertips plucked the guitar strings, and a series of clear notes flowed out, reducing some of the excessive sweetness of the original Peach Meow Meow version.
He lowered his head slightly, and the blush on the tips of his ears was clearly visible under the live broadcast lights.
"Ahem," he cleared his throat and began to sing the little sweet song "Honey" that made Peach Meow Meow a hit.
Her voice was clean and clear, though it carried a noticeable stiffness and unnaturalness, as if she wasn't used to this overly lively and sweet musical style, but her naturally good vocal foundation was undeniable.
He tried his best to imitate the original singer's upbeat rhythm. When he sang "hitting your heart pounding", he paused awkwardly for a moment, glanced quickly at the camera and then looked down, which caused the barrage to be flooded with comments like "Hahaha, Xianyin is shy!" and "His voice is killing me! Surprisingly good!"
This unexpected charm actually made the effect surprisingly good.
Next up is Xiaolu. She had naturally heard the cover of "Wind Whisper" that made Xianyin famous. It's a very story-driven ballad that demands high levels of skill and vocal intelligence.
The fans in Xiaolu's live stream felt that as long as she could finish the song, that was fine; as for whether it sounded good, that was another matter.
But looking at Xiaolu's confident and eager face, there was always a bad feeling in the live broadcast room.
This feeling was also shared in Shu Hua's live stream; they all felt like they had seen this episode before.
Little Deer picked up a small microphone full of energy, striking a confident pose. After clearing her throat, she said into the microphone with great self-assurance, "I've sung this song at karaoke before, so everyone can listen with confidence!"
[Oh no, I have a bad feeling.]
【I also……】
There's a saying that goes, "A bad feeling is never wrong."
The premonitions in the comments section stopped before they could finish, simply because they had all encountered an indiscriminate sonic attack.
That wasn't singing at all; it was a disastrous collection of off-key notes. The high notes were shaky, the low notes were completely out of tune, and the rhythm was completely erratic and off-beat.
Little Deer herself was completely unaware of the situation. When she sang the chorus, she closed her eyes and indulged in the song, feeling quite pleased with herself. She waved her arms vigorously to the melody she imagined, making her voice incredibly loud, with every note precisely deviating from its original trajectory.
【Ugh, I knew it! I was worried about my ears!】
[Please have mercy! I can't even stand it with noise-canceling headphones on, I suggest just muting it to save my life!]
【Little deer, stop, stop! Let's go back to dancing, don't torture everyone!】
[Change the song! Change the song! I want to change the song!]
[Host, I advise you never to sing again, or I'm going to report you for endangering public health!]
Comments flooded in like a tide, but the little deer remained oblivious, still waving its hand in self-absorption, as if it were holding its own concert.
As the original owner of the talent, Xianyin's lips twitched incessantly. Was this still the Fengyu he knew?
He had no idea how to sing the next line.
Meanwhile, Shu Hua's live stream was filled with laughter and joy.
[Hahaha, is Little Deer going to inherit Shu Hua's "crown of off-key singing"?]
No, I think Little Deer can be crowned emperor right now. I suddenly think "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" actually sounds pretty good.
[Hilarious! Lu Han's singing voice vs. Hua Zai's off-key singing—who's the ultimate tone-deaf? I'd vote for Lu Han; after all, being able to sing "Wind Whisper" like "Crazy Whisper" is a talent!]
[This is insane nonsense! I'm going to fight you talented players to the death!]
[As expected, everything is subject to comparison. Compared to others, Huazai is practically a diva-level singer.]
[I suggest Xiaolu and Huazai form an "Off-Key Duo" and name their livestream "Sonic Attack Team"—it's guaranteed to be a hit!]
[Upstairs, why are you treating your ears like this? Have you lost all attachment to this world?]
I choose to watch it on silent!
[Life is but a dream: Why is the streamer so quiet? Something feels off.]
The child was quiet...
What is Hua Zai thinking?
Shu Hua was listening to Xiao Lu sing and didn't think much of it, except that it didn't sound like a ballad. She had also seen clips of Xian Yin singing this song.
Although she had only heard it once, she still considered it familiar, even though she felt that the chords sung by Xiao Lu were completely off.
Isn't it normal for a dance streamer and a singing streamer to be different?
I also thought Lu Han's singing was pretty good; he seemed so confident.
When I checked the comments, everyone was laughing, and that's when I realized that Lu Han's singing was way off-key.
She... genuinely didn't recognize it, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
For the first time, I wondered if I was really tone-deaf.
Although she never engages in internal strife, things that can be directly compared are a kind of objectivity.
It doesn't mean that it doesn't exist just because she's deceiving herself.
So many people say I'm off-key, so I guess I really am.
Ke Shuhua still wanted to try and figure out if it was just a joke in the comments section.
Xiao Lu finally finished singing, and for that one minute, every live stream was filled with laughter, shouting in my ears.
Shu Hua hesitated for a second, but still asked the question that had been bothering her, "Xianyin, do you think Xiaolu sang off-key?"
Xianyin was surprised that Shuhua would ask this question. His face was full of doubt, as if to say, "Do I need to ask him this?"
Xianyin almost thought that Shuhua was deliberately embarrassing Xiaolu, but looking at Shuhua's serious face, it seemed that she was really puzzled by the question.
He was completely confused; how was he supposed to answer that?
To be honest, he was afraid of hurting Xiaolu's feelings.
But with such an obvious problem, he would feel guilty telling a lie.
