A rendition of "Where the Wind Goes" caused Li Mubai's live stream to explode in popularity once again.
Over the past few days, after witnessing his musical talent firsthand, fans began clamoring for Li Mubai to show off his vocal chops during his broadcasts.
Today, no sooner had he finished one song than another fan requested a second.
After an entire morning of singing, Li Mubai felt like his throat no longer belonged to him.
Events proved that even though his vocal cords had been modified by the system, such high-intensity use was still quite punishing on the voice.
In the live stream, the comment section buzzed with discussion.
"The streamer is really something else, singing while working out. Is this some new kind of streaming gimmick lately?"
"Freaking awesome. Why on earth is someone in the chat suggesting he sing while doing a handstand? That is too ridiculous!"
"With this kind of talent, the streamer might as well go straight to an audition show. I feel like he could debut right in the center position!"
"I am truly hopeless. Every time I see Brother Li working so hard while I waste my time playing games every day—to the point where even my girlfriend dumped me—I'm asking online for advice. I want to be as excellent as Brother Li!"
"Brother Li, Brother Li, I heard there's a new Idol Producer show starting production soon. I suggest Brother Li participate!"
"Hahaha, the ongoing sitcom titled *Brother Li Goes to Audition*!"
After finishing several hundred push-ups, Li Mubai lay flat on the floor, listening to the live stream assistant read out the bullet comments from the chat, and took a short rest.
Faced with the fans' suggestions, Li Mubai merely offered a faint smile. As for talent shows, it wasn't as though he hadn't considered them before.
But as everyone knew, trying to participate in this kind of program involved quite a bit of shady behind-the-scenes manipulation. Right now, he had neither resources nor backing; if he went, he might not even make it past the preliminary auditions.
Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?
"Beep beep beep beep~~ You have received a connection request from Fool Doesn't Say Sarcasm!"
Li Mubai looked at the other person's avatar, which was a particularly handsome aristocratic cat. If that was truly her pet, she must be quite wealthy!
Li Mubai didn't refuse and directly connected the call.
On the video feed, the other person was an alluring woman in her thirties, with charming round eyes and a full bosom, exuding a distinct allure.
After the video connected, she flashed a very charming smile: "I'm a fan of yours!"
"I saw suggestions in the comment section. I recently invested in a show called Idol Producer. I was wondering if you might be interested in participating?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mubai's eyes instantly lit up.
In the era he currently inhabited, programs like Idol Producer had just begun appearing across major platforms. However, possessing memories from his past life, he knew very well that a show like Idol Producer was the country's biggest star-making factory.
One had to know that every single idol coming out of that show became wildly popular.
Especially the famous Kunkun, who became an unsurpassable milestone among traffic stars and even achieved the entertainment miracle where the person cooled down but their works remained hot!
Aside from that, the four returning trainees who had debuted as trainees in Korea also commanded massive resources and traffic throughout the entire entertainment circle, even boasting a slew of brainless domestic fans serving as a support base.
Thinking of this, Li Mubai hesitated no longer and nodded in agreement.
The other woman wore a maternal smile and continued: "However, I must make one thing clear: I can only get you a spot as a contestant. As for your ultimate results, you will still have to fight for them yourself based on your own strength."
Li Mubai smiled, nodded, and expressed his gratitude: "Sister, I'm already extremely grateful to have a contestant spot."
"As for the final ranking, I believe that with my own strength, it certainly won't be too bad!"
Regarding this point, Li Mubai currently appeared quite confident.
After all, his vocal conditions had already been modified by the system, and when it came to singing, he feared no one.
As for dancing, although he couldn't compare to professional dancers right now, he still had a lot of confidence when it came to singing, dancing, and rapping. If all else failed, given his current physique, taking off his upper body clothes at that moment would surely drive the audience wild with cheers!
Afterward, Li Mubai and the woman chatted briefly about a few other things. The other side expressed her confidence in Li Mubai and then hung up the call.
Meanwhile, in the live stream.
Fool Doesn't Say Sarcasm sent ten Super Spaceships!
"Holy shit, is Brother Li actually going for real?"
"What am I witnessing right now? Am I witnessing a miracle?"
"Brother Mubai, go for it! You're the best!"
Because Li Mubai agreed to participate in the talent show, the comment section instantly boiled over.
While continuing his workout, Li Mubai interacted with his fans and took the opportunity to thank them for the gifts they sent.
After the broadcast ended, Li Mubai checked his Douyin direct messages and found that Fool Doesn't Say Sarcasm had sent a new message.
"***********, this is the show director's phone number. Call him to arrange the specific details of your participation. The key steps have already been arranged; just say that Sister Wang told you to join!"
After reading the message, Li Mubai expressed his thanks and then dialed the number she had provided.
"Hello, is this Director Zhao? Sister Wang had me contact you, saying you could arrange an Idol Producer contestant slot for me!"
After speaking, Li Mubai quietly waited for the other party's response.
Half a minute later, a very cold voice replied: "Must be someone arranged by Wang Xin. The show starts on-site recording in a week; staff will send you the address shortly."
Without another word, the person hung up the phone.
Soon, Li Mubai received a text message: "No. 399, Yingjia Road, Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Modu."
"So it's being filmed in Modu. Looks like I'll have to take a plane this time."
"Shooting starts in five days; the schedule is still pretty tight!"
Li Mubai sighed with emotion as he looked at the balance of over one hundred thousand yuan in his bank card. Over the past half year, his fans' frantic tipping had indeed earned him a fair bit of money.
Therefore, upon seeing that the plane ticket cost over five thousand yuan, although his teeth ached a bit at the price, it wasn't as if he couldn't afford it.
He immediately booked a flight to Modu for nine o'clock the next morning, then packed his few pieces of luggage.
Having done all this, Li Mubai thought about it and decided to ask for a short leave from streaming.
"Dear fans, because I am heading to Modu to participate in Idol Producer, I am taking a two-day leave. The live streams will resume after the recording is finished!"
