don't call me singer

Chapter 2 "The Power of Sound" and "Campus Hundreds"

"noob!"

"Xiaobai is back!"

When Gu Xiaobai returned to the dormitory with the cold food packed from the cafeteria, he saw his classmates standing in the hallway of the dormitory, discussing something cheerfully.

Early summer afternoon is the hottest time of the day.

The sun was so hot that eggs could be fried on the concrete floor. Even the dogs were unwilling to face the sun. They huddled in the shade of the trees, sticking out their tongues and shrinking their heads, with a listless look on their faces.

"What are you doing?" Gu Xiaobai wondered, it's a hot day, and you still have to go out?Aren't you afraid of being sunburned?
A guy with a girl, of course, can squeeze under the girl's umbrella at this time, but my classmates, this group of single dogs...

He was a white dog when he went out, but he probably turned into a black dog when he came back.

You can't really go out with a giant sunshade and a hardcore umbrella like what is said on the Internet.

Gu Xiaobai looked around subconsciously.

No giant parasols.

"Of course I'm going to see Brother Yao's primary election... Xiaobai, don't you want to sign up?" A classmate pointed to the bulletin board next to him.

"What are you kidding, asking Xiaobai to sign up to sing?" The students rolled their eyes.

You don't want to live, I still want to.

Gu Xiaobai turned his head and looked at a poster pasted there.

"Dongyuan University's 2019 'Sound Power' Cup Campus Singer Contest" is in full swing. The posters are flamboyant and very rhythmic. There are also names of previous champions on them, each of which is astonishing.

The Campus Singer Contest has been held for 30 sessions so far. From the early stage of literature and art [-] years ago to the current entertainment era, it represents the highest level of literature and art of Dongyuan University and is a traditional event of Dongyuan University.

The preparations for the competition start in March and April each year, the primary elections in May and June, after the exam season and summer vacation, the finals and presentation performances will be held in late September and early October.

As a comprehensive university with an emphasis on science and engineering, Dongyuan University attaches great importance to the campus singer competition. Whether it is stage hardware or guiding force, almost all of them are top-notch.Almost every session can cause heated discussions, especially the winners of the recent sessions, who are called by professional music critics as having the ability to "debut directly", and have a large number of fans in the society.

If it's the whole shooting, plus the script and editing, it's probably equivalent to half a good voice.

Gu Xiaobai still remembers the grand competition he saw not long after he entered school in September last year. Even a music idiot like him was deeply shocked.

The performance, scene and scheduling of a completely professional level are no worse than some TV shows he has seen.

Playing music in spare time can reach this level, this is the strength of top universities and top academics!

Of course, those who can compete on stage are the best, but as long as they are shortlisted for the competition, they will be able to add credits, and there are quite a few, and they can even improve their grade points in the end.

This is the focus of the active participation of the majority of students.

As long as you have a little talent, you will find a way to participate.

"Brother Yao, brother Yao is out!"

The students said a few words around Xiaobai, and then surrounded another student.

"Brother Yao, come on, I haven't heard you sing since the last party."

"Go up today and knock them all down!"

"Brother Yao, you are the pride of our physics department!"

A group of people surrounded a handsome young man, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

The young man surrounded in the middle was carrying an expensive Martin guitar, dressed in white, handsome and sunny, with a smile that seemed to melt people's hearts.

He waved his hands modestly and said: "I just went up to show my face. Our school is full of masters, and many senior brothers and sisters made their debut directly during their school days. I am still far behind... But thank you Go and support me, hoping to leave a good impression on Teacher Chuping."

Before the words fell, everyone immediately booed again.

"Sure, Brother Yao doesn't want it, what are they thinking?"

"Brother Yao, I wish you success!"

"Brother Yao's Wencheng Wude, he will rule the rivers and lakes!"

The young man called Brother Yao waved his hand to keep everyone from making noise, and then walked up to Gu Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, don't blame me for my incompetence. After all, this opportunity to add credits is really rare." When Brother Yao spoke, he was inevitably a little proud.

This is the feeling when the strong fight to win, and the battle is inextricably linked, and suddenly the sword goes sideways and wins a move.

Right next to the poster of "The Power of Music", there is another notice. Compared with the gorgeous poster, it is just a few blank sheets of paper, with a list printed on it in small characters that are hard to read unless you look carefully.

But for the students of the physics department, this list is infinitely more important than the gorgeous poster next to it.

"Dongwon University's 'Campus Hundred Sons' Program Candidate List."

Dongyuan University is one of the top universities in China, but there is still a certain gap compared with some top universities in the world.

One of the most important items is the foundation.

The top foreign universities will always publicize how many presidents, Nobel laureates, masters, and Oscar winners they have gone out of...

Open the alumni record, each prominent public figure can blind people's eyes.

In fact, many people in China have achieved good results, but in terms of reputation and influence, they are still far behind others.

In this world, there are too many excellent people. Sometimes, the difference between No.1 and No.2 is just a little opportunity, but the treatment is completely different.

The "Campus Hundred Sons" plan is Dongyuan University's plan to "cultivate masters from scratch".

Among the undergraduates in the whole school, the top [-] will be selected, and the school will do its best to help them pave the "road to masters".

Not only are all kinds of tuition and miscellaneous fees free, but there are also high-value scholarships, and various resources are tilted, the best teachers, the best opportunities, and the most cost-effective training.

The current principal yelled out a sentence almost with a tragic attitude: "It happened in the early spring, and the harvest will be a hundred years later!"

It's just that the competition for this plan is too fierce.

Among the tens of thousands of undergraduates in the whole school, one hundred students are selected and allocated to each department. I am afraid that there is at most one place, a few hundredths of a chance, and as one of the top famous schools in China, the source of students is basically one in ten thousand.

Not to mention, this screening is for all undergraduates, and compared with the seniors of the sophomores and juniors, the freshmen are even less dominant.

But at this time, in that candidate list, there are two freshmen, No. 3 and No. [-] on the list. "

"2. Fu Wenyao, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Dongyuan University, freshman, with a comprehensive score of 89."

"3. Gu Xiaobai, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Dongyuan University, freshman, overall score 89."

In front of the two was a junior senior with a comprehensive score of 89.1.

That's right, No. 3 and No. [-] on the list are standing together.

And these two people are also the two best people in the physics department this year.

The students stood at the back, looking at the two people standing side by side, and suddenly had a feeling of "you are born brighter than you are".

Those who can be admitted to this university are the absolute favorites of heaven, but even so, there are still advantages and disadvantages.

Fu Wenyao is obviously the enviable one. He has a prominent family background and a superior IQ. After entering university, he fell in love, played music, took pictures, wrote jokes, drove a luxury car, and had a wide range of friends. Every class and club activity Without him, the results are still so good.

And Gu Xiaobai... It seems that no one has ever seen him outside the dormitory, classroom, cafeteria and library.

The gap between the rich and the poor is so huge that it takes countless times of hardship to make up for it.

But this gap is sometimes insurmountable, such as now.

"If I can enter the preliminary round, after the credits are added, I should have 90 points." Fu Wenyao said, "Xiaobai, you know, this opportunity is also very important to me."

Only by walking in front of others every step of the way can we always walk in front of others.

"I won't lose." Gu Xiaobai only had this simple sentence.

He couldn't give up, because if he wanted to become a physicist, the "Campus Hundred Students" program was like a fast track. As long as he was shortlisted, he could avoid all worries and concentrate on academics.

Unlike Fu Wenyao, he has so many resources, this is his only way.

When the two looked at each other, they could see the spark in each other's eyes.

When you meet your opponent, whoever loses wins, God knows.

When the classmates surrounded Fu Wenyao and rushed into the scorching sun, only Gu Xiaobai was left in the hall.

He frowned at the list and was silent for a moment.

Suddenly, his phone buzzed.

Seeing the familiar dialog box, Gu Xiaobai was speechless: "Why are you still here?"

He thought the system was dead.

System: "I can help you win this competition!"

"No, I don't need to."

System: "Become a great musician, music can help you reach the pinnacle of life..."

"Just give up..."

Gu Xiaobai stuffed the phone in his pocket again.

There is no time to waste, you must do the quizzes quickly!

After plugging in the earphones and opening the playlist of "[-] Music That Urges You to the Exam", Gu Xiaobai began to study the questions seriously.

At the bottom of the mobile phone, information flows one after another.

"Sign up for the 'Power of Music' Campus Singer Contest."

"Registration has closed."

"Invade the server, modify the registration form, the registration is successful..."

The flow of information has not stopped. I was just rejected by Xiaobai and doubted the system of life. I was very curious about what I did wrong. Why was the system so easily bound and the authority so high:
"Search keyword 'system'..."

"Search for "The King's Life", "The Great Doctor Ling Ran", "I Have a House of Horrors"..."

After a while, the system suddenly realized.

It turns out that the system is bound to give out a newbie gift package!
"Issuing novice gift packs and big treasure boxes to hosts."

"The treasure chest is open."

"Get the Elementary Skills Book: 'Elementary Vocal Skills'."

"Get the only skill book: 'Sound range upper limit + 8 degrees'."

"The host is not bound, and the skills cannot be used directly. The skills are being passively trained."

In Gu Xiaobai's ears, the music gradually changed its tone, Gu Xiaobai only felt his eyelids began to become heavy, and fell asleep unknowingly.
