Chapter 533: Chapter 508: How Can We Even Compare?_1
It was the next day.
Lil Goodoong drove Lin Yuan to the Music Center.
Lin Yuan sat in the back seat, looking at his phone.
Many online were discussing today’s competition:
“The competition is about to start!”
“The challenge match! The challenge match!”
“Today’s match is intense, it’s all filled with the Kings and Queens of Singing along with the Fish Legion!”
“The Fish Legion probably can’t hold up today.”
“Not necessarily, there might be a chance that the Fish Legion defeats the Kings and Queens of Singing.”
“Speaking of which, is Prince of Lanling considered part of the Fish Legion?”
“In terms of image, Prince of Lanling is not a fish, but fundamentally, he is still a fish, because all of the new songs he has performed in the competition so far were written by Xian Yu!”
“Pfft.”
“Hahaha, Huasheng, you’ve found a blind spot!”

“…”
Reading this,
Lin Yuan suddenly sneezed.
Lil Goodoong, who was driving, said, “Mr. Lin, are you cold? I’ll close the windows.”
“A little.”
Lin Yuan replied subconsciously.
However, as Lin Yuan’s voice sounded, both he and Lil Goodoong halted.
Hoarse!
Lin Yuan’s voice was very hoarse!
Gu Dong was anxious, hurriedly closing the windows: “Boss, what’s wrong with your throat?”
“Cough.”
Lin Yuan cleared his throat, only to realize there was a sense of indisposition in his throat. He took a sip of water and it actually hurt when swallowing.
“Could it be that you are catching a cold?”
“It seems so.”
Still very hoarse.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but recall the water outage last night, his head started to ache.
He had forcefully bathed in somewhat cool water last night, he didn’t feel anything wrong at the time, but who knew he could end up catching a cold the day after!
A cold wasn’t a big deal.
With Lin Yuan’s current physical condition, a minor cold would not affect his condition much.
But the problem with his throat was significant-
He had to sing today!
Lil Goodoong started to panic: “Should I go and buy some cold medicine for you- But there’s no use in taking cold medicine either, your throat wouldn’t be able to recover in such a short time, what to do about today’s competition?”
“Don’t worry.”
Lin Yuan calmly reassured, then called out to the system in his heart: “What happened to the promised healthy body?”
The system bleeped:
“The host was previously reminded that common colds are beyond the purview of the system’s warranty.”
Lin Yuan felt helpless.
The system indeed reminded him before.
He was negligent this time.
No matter how skilled a singer is, it won’t help if your throat is uncomfortable.
Also, this body was indeed very healthy. It was so healthy that Lin Yuan didn’t realize he was falling ill when he woke up.
If he had known, he would have heated the water for Antarctica the night before.
He maintained calmness: “Is there a way to remedy this?”
With this throat, his performance would inevitably be affected. It would indeed be wrong if he were eliminated for this reason.
System:
“There are potions in the system store that can stabilize your throat but they won’t be able to help the host to recover, they can only alleviate the discomfort.”
“Anesthetics?”
“You can understand it that way. It can only deal with the host’s discomfort but it can’t repair a hoarse voice.”
“How much does it cost?”
“Ten thousand.”
“It’s that cheap?”
As he said this, there was a sudden pang of guilt in Lin Yuan’s heart.
But he didn’t have the luxury of time to worry about that, he could only take the potion from the system and try it at the right moment.
“Let me buy you some throat calming medicine.”
Upon parking at the Music Center’s car park, Lil Goodoong turned to look at Lin Yuan.
“No need.”
Lin Yuan took another sip of water: “It’s fine as long as I can just manage.”
“No!”
Lil Goodoong grew even more frantic: “Your voice is completely hoarse now, how about we just drop out of the competition, since you are a composer and you don’t rely on performing to make a living…”
“There’s always a way.”
Even with the discomfort in his throat, Lin Yuan continued: “I’m going up first.”
“Are you sure you’re alright?”
“I’m fine.”
Lin Yuan went upstairs—
How could he possibly be okay?
The cold had made his voice hoarse, even drinking water was painful let alone singing. Even his tone was affected.
In this condition, there were too many songs that Lin Yuan wouldn’t be able to perform well.
Like “I Surrender”.
For that kind of song, your voice had to be powerful but with his throat being hoarse, Lin Yuan couldn’t sing with that power.
There were no other methods.
Right now, he could only use the system’s potion to alleviate the discomfort in his throat. But as for song selection, he had to think hard for today…
Exiting the elevator,
Tongtong came over to meet him, with a cameraman following her: “Prince of Lanling, the rules have been explained to you, do you need to rehearse before the competition?”
“No need.”
Lin Yuan said.
He had already rehearsed what needed to be rehearsed during the last few days, he could go straight on stage to sing.
However—
The moment Lin Yuan opened his mouth, Tongtong froze.
In confirmation, she asked: “Prince of Lanling, is your voice a bit… hoarse?”
Because Lin Yuan had only said two words, she wasn’t sure if she had misheard.
“A minor… cold… cough…”
Lin Yuan coughed consecutively.
There weren’t other significant health issues.
Ever since he was a child, he was prone to illness, he would often exaggerate his condition whenever he felt sick.
Now, even though he obviously was catching a cold, except for the throat discomfort, there seemed to be no other symptoms.
“You call this a minor cold?”
When Tongtong heard his hoarse voice, she paled, how could he sing with such a hoarse voice?
“I’ll have someone come and put you on a drip!”
“No need.”
Lin Yuan glanced at the camera: “Besides, there’s no time.”
Filming was ongoing.
The live broadcast was about to start.
Tongtong clenched her teeth: “I’ll go discuss with the director, to have you go on stage last.”
Lin Yuan waived his hand: “Let’s just go with the rules of the competition.”
“But…”
“Teacher Prince of Lanling.”
Pufferfish, who happened to be next to him, saw the Prince of Lanling, quickly greeted him, and then, as if afraid that her voice was too enthusiastic, she slightly lowered the end of her sentence which was involuntarily going upwards.
Lin Yuan said, “Hello.”
“Your throat…” Pufferfish is very sensitive to voices.
Tongtong couldn’t help saying, “Teacher Prince of Lanling has a cold, I don’t know what to do about this episode, it will definitely affect his singing.”
Pufferfish anxiously said: “Give him a shot!”
“No!”
Lin Yuan was startled.
He is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of injections. He has a shadow as soon as he sees a needle. “I had a shot before I left the house.”
Having said that.
Lin Yuan fled into his dressing room like escaping.
But not long after, Pufferfish actually brought a robot and a swan, as well as a mermaid over.
All from the first team.
Obviously, they also heard about Prince Lanling catching a cold, and losing his voice.
“Can you still sing?”
The swan anxiously asked.
Lin Yuan said, “I can.”
The robot stopped his antics and said, “Don’t push yourself.”
Pufferfish couldn’t help saying, “Did you really get an injection?”
“I did.”
Lin Yuan started speaking, actually this is not a question of injection or medicine, his body is fine.
The problem is his throat.
There is no medicine that can directly restore his voice.
“Today’s competition is not easy.”
The mermaid spoke softly, then looked at the TV on the wall: “The live broadcast has started.”
…
Yes.
The live broadcast has started.
On stage, An Hong has already started hosting, there are still seven hundred spectators on the scene, fifty judges, and the four grand judges of the last episode.
Live cheers!
On countless screens, the barrage from the audience has already started rushing:
“Here it comes!”
“This episode is definitely more exciting than the team match!”
“Fried fish…”
“The strength of the Fishmen group, among the twelve contestants, is indeed relatively weaker.”
“All the Kings and Queens of the four teams made it to the top twelve.”
“Overlord is invincible!”
“Support Lone Wolf!”
“Swan first!”
“Prince of Lanling, Keep going!”
“Looking forward to the Prince of Lanling failing this episode!”
“…”
An Hong started to introduce the competition rules.
At the same time, in front of countless audiences, the big screen started to draw lots to determine the order of the first round of PK:
Fat-Head Fish vs Prince of Lanling
Robot vs Revenge Goddess
Overlord vs Pufferfish
Swan vs Lone Wolf
Mermaid vs Daisy
Elfin vs Fishman
“Prince of Lanling is playing in the first round!”
“The robot is not lucky again, it met a top-level opponent!”
“The match between Swan and Lone Wolf seems to be a preview of the championship match, Teacher Lone Wolf is also one of the strongest championship contenders!”
“I hope Prince of Lanling runs into a King or Queen.”
“Just say you want to see Prince Lanling eliminated.”
“Prince of Lanling has met a King before, didn’t he still stay on stage?”
“Fat-Head Fish probably can’t beat Prince of Lanling.”
“…”
Although many fans of the singers were not pleased by Prince Lanling, they had to admit that the strength shown by Prince Lanling was stronger than that of Fat-Head Fish.
Just at this moment.
The program played some pre-recorded footage, including Prince Lanling getting a cold.
Suddenly!
The barrage became lively—
“Seriously?”
“Prince Lanling’s voice has gone hoarse!”
“So, does this mean he can’t use his three voices?”
“How can he compete then?”
“Hahaha, Prince Lanling has no chance this time!”
“Recommend Prince Lanling to rehearse ‘Bracing the Chill’ again, he might need it when he’s unveiled.”
“How did Prince Lanling catch a cold? His voice sounds wrong to me.”
“…”
At the same time.
The audience on stage also saw the situation backstage through the big screen, and the whole audience buzzed.
“Prince of Lanling’s voice is ruined!”
“He has a cold, it’s indeed likely for him to lose his voice.”
“God, the crucial thing is that the Prince of Lanling is to play in the first round!”
“This guy always surprises people, even his cold is unexpected!”
“He can’t even sing now!”
“…”
The judges looked at each other.
On the judges’ side, Yin Dong frowned, “This is bad.”
Zheng Jing shook her head: “It’s a pity to lose due to this reason, I feel that he can exchange moves with the King and Queen again.”
Ye Zhi Qiu smiled bitterly: “This situation is not encountered for the first time.”
Yang Zhongming did not speak.
In singing competitions, this situation does indeed have precedents and it greatly affects the performance of the singer.
But as a judge, you must remain impartial, and you can’t give sympathy points because of personal reasons of the contestant.
Poor guy…
Are you okay?
Yang Zhongming squinted slightly.
For a while.
People’s emotions varied.
But whether it was schadenfreude, silent pity, or just watching the excitement, people’s opinions about Prince Lanling are the same—
How can he compete?
