It was the day of the first screening.Alex woke up as early as five p.m., bathed, and prepared noodles for breakfast. He ate them together with leftover buns. At exactly six p.m., he left his room with his guitar draped across his back.There was no one outside the compound except for a single person. She sat on a bench near the gate, smoking quietly.Does this landlady ever forgive her lungs? Alex genuinely felt sorry for them.Hearing approaching footsteps, the landlady glanced over, her eyelids half-squinted.“Where are you going this early in the morning?” she asked.“I’m going to Crisp City,” he replied.“Oh? Why?” She raised a brow. “I’ve never heard you mention any relatives there. Or are you trying to run away with my house rent?” She eyed him suspiciously.“I already paid you the house rent.” Alex felt like crying. Was she doing this on purpose, or had she genuinely forgotten that he had already paid?“Oh, my bad. Then what are you going out to do?” she asked again.“I’m goi

“What is it, son? Are you hiding anything from Mom?” Agnes frowned.“No, it’s not that.” Jude shook his head. He decided to tell her anyway, since Alex would be coming over. It was better than letting her interrogate him the moment she saw him.Knowing his mom, she would certainly do exactly that.“You know him. He’s Alex,” he said.“Alex?” A deep crease formed on her face.“I only know of one Alex. Don’t tell me it’s that Alex.” Her voice grew colder.“Calm down, Mom. Yes, it’s him, but… he apologized, and we’re friends again.”“No.” She shook her head firmly. “Not after he told you those bad words just because you were watching out for him. I know how you felt back then when you came home.You barely ate for a month and almost fell sick. No, I won’t have the two of you being friends again.” She insisted.“Calm down, Mom. It isn’t that deep. Besides, there’s something I never told you. I was the one who said a bad word to him first. And he’s very different now.I think he’s more diff
Chapter Seven
It was two days before the screening for the talent show Super Stars Of Tomorrow.Over the past four days, Alex had been training relentlessly, pushing himself through both singing practice and physical fitness training.The system had assigned him a physical training mission, and his physical level had finally been pushed to eleven. He was now stronger than the average adult man.As for his singing, the system had not given him any mission to improve it. Even after his physical mission was completed, it remained completely silent.That silence did not make him give up. He continued training his vocals every day without fail, refining his control and endurance as best as he could on his own.Today, however, something unexpected happened. While he was eating breakfast, a mission suddenly appeared.(Ding! New mission: go to a studio and record a song.Reward: one random level increase.Punishment: random points deduction.)Well, here it was. He had been complaining about not receiving a

Alex nodded and took her phone. Their hands brushed lightly, the touch soft and cool. Since she had only been in school for a week, they had not yet found the time to exchange numbers.Several boys and girls noticed them sharing contacts, and muttering began almost immediately.“That Alex is a legend. It hasn’t even been a week since he broke up with his beautiful girlfriend, and he’s already hooking up with another,” one of the boys said. He stared at them intensely, wishing he could switch places with Alex.“Yes, and this one is just as pretty, maybe even more shapely than the last,” his friend agreed.As for the girls, they started wondering what was so special about Alex. He was pleasing to the eyes, yes, but he was also dirt poor. Deep down, they felt a sting of jealousy, though their pride would never allow them to admit it.Alex and Amber soon headed to their classes.On the way, they ran into Billy and Christina. It seemed Billy was escorting her to her classroom. He belonged

The woman blinked twice, and Alex immediately realized that he had been rude.“Sorry, I got a bit lost in thought. Back to your question, yes, I’m the one who composed the song,” he said calmly, forcing himself to steady his emotions.She smiled softly. “You have real talent in composing, and your guitar skills are good as well. I’m genuinely impressed.” Her tone shifted slightly as she continued, “But I have to be honest with you. You’re not very good at singing.” Her words were direct and unfiltered.Alex frowned.“It might sound brutal, but it’s the truth,” she added. “I’m not trying to discourage you. If you work hard on your voice, maybe you’ll get there someday. Who knows?”She paused for a moment before continuing, “But if you ever give up on being an artist and decide to focus on composing, contact me.” She handed him a card.At first, Alex felt irritated by her blunt criticism and thought she had only approached him to tear him down. However, when she encouraged him to improv
Chapter Four
“You mean you want to leave me and join a bigger label? Hah! Where was that label when you were nothing? Where was it when you were jumping from one talent show to another?” A tall, beautiful, mature woman shouted angrily at a girl dressed in purple.The girl in purple looked younger and was also beautiful, but her beauty paled in comparison to that of the mature woman.She bowed her head in shame.“I’m sorry, Anna, but as you can see, my career has grown immensely. You can no longer handle it. Be honest with yourself. I need a better label for better marketing and better deals,” she explained.“I can’t handle you?” The mature woman slammed her hand against her chest. “Do you even know how much I’ve sacrificed, and how much more I’m still willing to sacrifice for you? Do you know how long I’ve been in this industry? Eight years. Eight good years.“The connections and experience I’ve gathered during those years are more than enough to take you even further.”“Let’s stop lying to oursel
