Gamer Superstar - Chapter 104

Chapter 104: [Bonus Chapter] 104 – New Music
As for the country song I wanted to sing, this would be a great time to have the Music Selector available, but there was still 28 days of cooldown before I could use it again…

So I’d have to rely on myself to think of one of the country songs from my old world and choose one that fit the place and situation.

Thinking about where we were and the vibe the audience was probably in, I think I could come up with a good song to play now.

I just needed to practice the rhythm of the song a little on the guitar and that would be fine.

Jason took the opportunity to record me practicing and I started thinking about how to make a story out of it.

I didn’t want to pretend that I composed the song on the spot, because that would not only be a lie, but it would also seem very untrue to the viewers, who would hardly believe it.

So I just pretended that I had practiced and made this song before, but now I was just perfecting it.

This song that I was considering was one of my favorite country songs from my previous world, even though it was a more modern version of country, it was a version that I felt suited me much better than the more classic version, after all I’m not a country singer, nor do I intend to be, so I felt that it would be much more interesting to sing a version of the song in a more modern, rap-oriented style than a very Texan country.

The country beat was very easy to get the hang of, and with my [Tuned Ear] it was very easy to remember the songs and be able to play them.

[Tuned Ear: Achieved by those who take the time to tune their listening skills.

Effect: +15% ability to recognize musical nuances, making it easier to learn new songs quickly and improvise during performances].

With my guitar level and Tuned Ear, I was able to learn to play songs much faster, not to mention remembering song lyrics, which became easier and easier as my INT increased.

[+1 INT].

Speaking of INT, I put so much effort into remembering every nuance of the music that I gained another point in the skill, making my thought process and memory much better.

Considering that my previous INT was 14 points, which was much higher than the average, which was 10, now that it had risen to 15 points, I was already entering the genius zone.

I could learn things even faster, understand explanations more easily, and remember things much easier.

But INT wasn’t as magical as the games in my previous world.

Instead of feeling really smarter about something, like leveling up a skill I had, getting a point in INT just sped up my brain to adapt with more knowledge and different thought processes.

So I didn’t get better at guitar just by getting another INT point, but I could remember how to play the song better, and that made me play the song better, faster.

After 15 minutes the singer’s show was over and the manager came on stage to announce what was going to happen.

I got up and got ready to go on stage, Fedrick did the same and stood next to me while I acted disgusted.

– Selena’s POV –

Knowing that Noah wouldn’t need me anymore, I went to the crowd and prepared to write down everything I could to help him improve for the upcoming shows and musical battles.

When I saw the manager announcing on stage, I wondered how the audience would react…

“As you know, tomorrow Lila Brooks will be performing two shows for over a thousand people each, but since she needed an artist to sing the opening of her show, Lila decided to give that opportunity to one of the next two singers who will be singing tonight!” said the woman on stage, causing the audience to cheer.

As soon as people heard this, the screams in the bar became very loud as people’s anticipation for the next shows grew even louder.

I have to admit, this woman is smart. She knows that if she told people that Noah and Fedrick were fighting backstage, it could look bad for the bar or for one of the artists, so she just hid the information and pretended that the two of them were supposed to be competing for Lila’s spot from the beginning.

This wasn’t so good for Noah, because it was good publicity for his next video.

If people knew the reason for the fight was going to be on his vlog, wouldn’t he get a few more views and subscribers for his channel?

But that’s okay, it’s not like his video is bad because of it.

After a few seconds of watching the audience’s reaction, the woman on stage smiled with satisfaction and continued. “Since the two of them wanted to decide this through their music, the two of them made an agreement that they will decide who will open Lila’s show through a Music Battle! And you will be the judges!”

As soon as she said this, the crowd around her got even more excited, and rightly so.

Attending a concert was fun, but how much more fun would it be if you had the power to decide which artist would open for the singer you liked, where you could support the artist you liked the most?

“So welcome to the stage, Fedrick Davis, D Rank Artist, frequent singer at our bar… and BlackVelvet, the biggest dark horse in San Francisco bars, a kid who has been dominating the bars in just over a month and is making his way to the top of the E Rank!” she said excitedly as she spread her hands and waved for Noah and Fedrick to come on stage.

As they took the stage, I looked around to gauge the crowd’s reaction and noticed an interested smile on Lila Brooks’ face.

This could be an opportunity for Noah…’ I thought with a smile.

Instead of AJP using resources to invest in him and make him grow, Noah is growing on his own much faster than the other artists the agency has invested in… which is opening so many doors for him that he has no idea…
