Half a month later, StarNet was abuzz with news that a mysterious person had appeared on the platform, whose singing could bring the dead back to life. The obscure Mu Linle, currently competing in the auditions for a music contest: Wow, that sounds amazing. The bigwigs who had heard the mysterious person's singing expressed their admiration in interviews, each using their own connections and offering all kinds of terms in hopes of bringing him home to sing for them. Bigwig A: I can pay him a salary of ten million star coins a month! Bigwig B: I can give him an eight-hundred-square-meter villa on the capital planet after a year! Bigwig C: I can give him a planet after five years! Mu Linle, a dark horse who had just won the planet championship and was about to compete in the star system contest: Wow, I'm so jealous! Unfortunately, the mysterious person never appeared again, and his information was encrypted. The bigwigs' hopes came to nothing, and they were all disappointed. Mu Linle, about to compete in the star system finals: Sigh, what a pity. I really want to know who this mysterious person is. It wasn't until Mu Linle became the contest's overall champion and made his debut, then hummed a wordless tune during his acceptance speech, that the bigwigs suddenly realized they might have been looking in the wrong direction all along. They grew eager and came up with countless schemes to trick him into coming home with them. Then they noticed the little chubby dragon perched on Mu Linle's shoulder. The bigwigs: ... Oblivious, Mu Linle continued his acceptance speech: I'm just an ordinary, ordinary person. Without the encouragement of my fans and the little dragon I raise, I wouldn't be where I am today. Fans: Sob, that's so touching. Little chubby dragon: Proud.jpg. The bigwigs: ...Marshal, with skin as thick as yours and schemes as deep as yours, does Mu Linle know?
