After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Slap in the Face: Dimensional Reduction Strike (Part 1)

Just as the live audience and the online viewers were awestruck by the girl’s appearance, the big screen slowly displayed the title of the piece Lu Sheng was about to play.

Just four simple words.

"Above the Wasteland".

—Above the Wasteland??

At this moment, Lu Qianrou was sitting in the audience, almost floating on air from the excited Jiang Ting and Jiang Yusheng praising her nonstop.

She still hadn’t gotten over the joy of just having won first place and being applauded by the audience, and now she was staring at the screen with wide eyes.

...What the hell is "Above the Wasteland"? Wasn’t the piece that Lu Sheng submitted earlier "Dusk Descent"?

Could it be that besides "Dusk Descent", she has other original compositions? Did she have the staff replace the piece at the last minute?

Lu Qianrou couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

In her opinion, the composition level of "Dusk Descent" was already top-notch, and she had not expected Lu Sheng to have other original compositions.

How could someone from a dirt-poor single-parent family in the countryside be so talented? What if this new piece is even better than "Dusk Descent"?

Wouldn’t her position as the champion become unstable?

The audience and online viewers were unaware of these disgraceful behind-the-scenes manipulations; they just found the title novel.

"Above the Wasteland" sounded simple, yet it evoked a sense of grandeur and magnitude; it was unclear what the theme was.

However, when the girl took her seat at the piano and the live camera switched to a close-up view, people were further surprised.

They saw the girl sitting calmly at the piano. Yet her hands were empty, and the music stand in front of her was devoid of any sheet music.

...No sheet music?

Did that mean the girl was preparing to play from memory in this competition??

Everyone couldn’t help but show a look of astonishment.

Playing from memory isn’t unusual in piano competitions, as long as the sheet music is thoroughly learned beforehand.

But this piano competition was different.

The competition was pushed forward nearly a month, and the contestants only had a few days at most to confirm their eligibility, compose new pieces, and practice them.

To be able to write an original piece, practice it thoroughly, and ensure a mistake-free performance in such a short time was already impressive.

To play from memory... and that too when the competition did not require it.

Unless the girl truly had exceptional memory and piano skills, she wouldn’t dare to be so confident. Or perhaps this piece was already created long ago but had never been published.

In any case, the moment the girl sat down at the piano, she had already whet the audience’s appetite.

Everyone was eager to see just what level of piano skills Lu Sheng possessed.

If what was said online was true, that she obtained her place in the competition by sleeping with some committee members, then her piano skills must be awful.

Someone who resorts to such means to join a competition would surely be exposed once they play onstage; it would be like publicly announcing that there was corruption in the competition’s organizing committee.

The netizens were all for watching the excitement and didn’t mind stirring up trouble.

A stream of mocking comments and anticipations for the misfortune of Lu Sheng and the committee flew rapidly across the screen.

The live audience too wore looks of disdain.

Especially Jiang Yusheng, who snorted coldly through his nose, disdainfully saying as he watched Lu Sheng on stage: "I really want to see what kind of piece this disgraceful bastard can play today."

However, soon after the piano on stage began playing, Jiang Yusheng suddenly widened his eyes, and his scornful expression froze on his face.

How is this possible!

How could this be possible??!

The girl’s face and temperament were originally composed and gentle.

The lights from the stage ceiling shone on her, casting a faint golden silhouette around her.

Yet the moment she pressed the first piano key, her expression changed abruptly.

As if she had transformed into someone else, her aura suddenly became powerful and sharp. This shift caused the audience onsite and viewers online to involuntarily hold their breath.
