Chapter 711: Chapter 220: The Lonely Brave! [Daily Chapter]_2

Although Mr. Ke’s singing wasn’t great, it wasn’t particularly harsh on the ears either, just an average person who stayed in tune.

But as emotion infused his performance, the listening experience gradually improved.

"♪ They say, to carry the light, to tame every monster ♪"

"♪ They say, to mend your wounds, no one loves... a clown ♪"

"♪ Why can’t loneliness, be glorious ♪"

"♪ It’s only the imperfect, that deserve to be sung ♪"

"♪ Who says one covered in mud doesn’t count as a hero ♪"

As the song ended, there was a noticeable brightening in the eyes of the two girls.

Ke Yu had been pouring drinks for Xinlin, getting ready to start shaking the dice cup, but even her hand hesitated slightly.

Xinlin’s gaze also flickered slightly.

This song... seems kind of interesting?

Listening to it, surprisingly, it’s not bad.

But how come I’ve never heard it before?

Before the two girls could ponder further, they heard Ke Jin’s voice climbing.

"♪ Loving you, walking the dark alley alone, loving the way you never kneel ♪"

"♪ Loving you, after confronting despair, refusing to cry ♪"

"♪ Loving your tattered clothes, daring to bet against the gun of fate ♪"

"♪ Loving how you’re so much like me, with the same flaws—! ♪"

As the verse concluded, Ke Jin quickly took a breath, his voice becoming richer.

A fist clenched tight, even the veins on his forehead popped slightly, as if he was gathering strength for the upcoming blast.

Then, with a high raise of his arm, he sang out loud and roared with all his might.

"♪ Worth it——! Fit——! This ragged cape!! ♪"

"♪ To fight!! To battle!! With the most humble of dreams!! ♪"

"♪ To the wailing and growling in the dark night! ♪"

"♪ Who says only those in the light——count as heroes. ♪"

When the song finished, Ke Jin slowly opened his eyes, realizing he was sweating on his forehead.

Wiping off the sweat with his hand, he looked at the two girls and smiled, "There, just a small bit of the song, I’m just average at singing."

But as his words trailed off, he saw no reaction from the two young ladies.

On closer look,

he saw both girls staring at him with their mouths agape, their smooth, delicate faces filled with incredulity.

Like conducting a symphony in unison, they both gaped silently at Ke Jin.

It took them a long moment to come back to their senses.

Only when Ke Jin waved at them did Ke Yu finally snap out of it, her delicate face full of shock as she suddenly stood up.

"Whoa, Brother! What song were you singing? Such powerful emotional burst and resonance... OMG... my heart was shaking along..."

Luo Xinlin also spoke with a hint of astonishment, "I feel like I’ve never heard this song before... and you sing it so well."

Hearing this, Ke Jin pondered.

Do they think that was good singing?

They haven’t heard the truly good versions.

But a good song doesn’t choose who sings it; that’s how it is.

"The Lone Brave" in the past, although it became so ubiquitous that even elementary students could sing it, leading to some overexposure,

it’s undeniable that the song is top-notch in regards to lyrics, composition, and performance.

Upon its release, the song received a strong reaction, quickly sparking a nation-wide trend of cover versions.

If it wasn’t good, it wouldn’t have become so widespread.

However, since it was the theme song tied to the official animation "Battle of Twin Cities" of League of Legends,

it’s normal that people on Blue Star haven’t heard it.

Ke Jin didn’t go into detail with the two young ladies, merely stating simply,

"If you guys think it’s good too, then let’s make it the promotional song for ’The Battle of Twin Cities’ that will be launched in conjunction with ’League of Legends’."

"This song would indeed make a good promotional track, it has enough power and the emotions are rich, very suitable for spreading." Ke Yu, although not a professional singer, loved to sing due to her naturally good voice and was knowledgeable about the music industry, readily nodded in agreement.

As "Number One Player" had been developing the "League of Legends" game for three years now.

Even though it was a very small department dedicated to design,

thanks to the detailed planning of the project proposal,

the preliminary trailers for various champions were already up to the eightieth or so.

All the internal tests were also nearing their end.

To launch or not to launch, and when to do so,

it all depended on a single word from Ke Jin.

Nevertheless, for the huge IP of League of Legends from his previous world, Ke Jin wanted to make sure all preparations were thorough.

He planned to release "Battle of Twin Cities" as a companion animation, launching it together with the game to ensure the most stable impact.

The art department of "Number One Player" had also started working on "Battle of Twin Cities" already.

After the impressive performance of "The Lone Brave" that astonished the two,

Ke Yu went on stage like a Mic Hog, singing over a dozen songs in one go.

Mostly because in this setting, Xinlin, as her good friend, wouldn’t compete for the mic, and also because of Xinlin’s quiet and reserved personality, she didn’t like to show off much.

As for her older brother, that was out of the question, what could be better than singing songs he enjoyed?

The three of them ate and drank, sang and danced.

They didn’t leave the KTV until it was close to midnight.

Perhaps Ke Yu was just too excited to see Xinlin after such a long time,

or maybe because there were no strangers around, she didn’t need to act so ladylike, resulting in her playing the wildest and drinking the most.

Already a bit unstable inside the KTV, she began to stagger when walking.

After stepping outside and being chilled by the late spring breeze, she shivered and couldn’t stand steady anymore.
