The owner looked at Jay with bright eyes and said, "Jay, what about you go up the stage this time?"
"With your handsome looks, even if you just stand there, those customers will probably be satisfied already!"
Hearing that, Jay could only chuckle awkwardly as he touched the back of his head.
"How could that be? You're praising me too much, boss."
"No! I'm just telling the truth, Jay. So, how about it? Would you like to perform there? Don't worry, I'll pay you the same amount as the other performers!"
The owner stared at Jay, waiting for his response.
Feeling the intense look from the owner, Jay turned his eyes to the stage in front.
Because it's currently lunch time, the restaurant is packed with people right now.
Looking at all this for a while, Jay pondered for a bit before saying, "Alright, boss! I can give it a try."
"Great! Great! Go, go up the stage!"
The owner's lips immediately widened with a smile and pushed Jay to the stage.
At the owner's urging, Jay could only step forward and stand on the stage.
However, before he climbed up, Jay first opened the Baba Streaming app on his phone and started live streaming.
With [Live Stream Performance!] as the title, Jay placed the phone on a stand near the stage and pointed it at him.
After doing all that, Jay stood firmly on the stage and looked at the customers looking at him.
Picking up the mic, Jay said, "Uh, hello everyone, I am Jay, your performer for today."
"Something happened with the original performer so, I had to step forward."
"Anyway, I will be singing for everyone, I hope you all won't dislike it."
After saying that, Jay gave a cue to the dj behind and the music started playing.
A melody that is familiar with almost everyone echoed inside the restaurant, inevitably heightening the mood.
It was a song called Tell Me, an old song that was popular around more than a decade ago.
At the same time, Jay prepared himself, closing his eyes, feeling his emotions and the lyrics of the song.
Then the next moment, Jay opened his mouth and started singing.
"Even if I don't want to say it~."
"Why are you still not here~."
"When you're with me I still feel alone~."
"So, you're leaving me~"
"Tell me now if you're still coming back~."
…
Jay's deep voice with a tinge of melancholy immediately attracted everyone's attention to him.
They listened to the familiar song, feeling the deep emotions pulled out from each of the lyrics by the singer.
Right now, all of them can't help but feel like they are heartbroken. Even those people who are here with their partners.
All because of Jay's singing.
Originally, Jay's amateur level of singing should not be able to bring out this much emotion from a song because of its limitations.
But after adding the experience points last night, his singing skill leveled up, becoming level 2.
If a level 1 is amateur level, level two could be said to be of the proficient level already.
In this level, a singer is able to touch some of the original meaning and emotions in a song if it synchronizes with their life experience.
And incidentally, this song, 'Tell Me', touches on some of Jay's experiences in life, or on love.
In the past, Jay also fell in love with a girl.
However, because of clashing personalities and way of living, the two of them finally went separate ways.
She was the first girl that Jay fell in love with, making it hard for him to forget about her.
From time to time, Jay also hoped that she would come back. But she didn't.
Now, Jay doesn't really care about it anymore. But using the emotions and experience from it, Jay managed to sing 'Tell Me' emotionally.
Likewise, the audience were immersed in the emotion brought out by the song, making it hard for them to look away from Jay.
While Jay is busy singing on stage, at this time, a comment jumped up from his love stream room.
[BabaViewer111: Huh? Is that you, host?]
[BabaViewer111: Your singing sounds so good! How come you sounds like a howling dog in the middle of the night last night?]
[BabaViewer111: You were playing with me, weren't you!]
Beside BabaViewer111, some other people also posted comments on the live room.
Unknowingly, the viewers inside the live room actually reached more than 100 at some point in time!
This is the highest number of viewers that Jay achieved in his whole time live streaming!
However, Jay is still not aware of it at this time.
At this time, his focus is on the stage, with how he sings for the audience below.
Bringing out the best of what a level 2 singing skill could do!
Soon, the song ended with a low tune but the people who were infected are still immersed in it.
Raising his head, Jay looked at the audience who all seemed to be in a daze.
Noticing that not even one of them clapped, Jay can't help but start worrying.
'Was it bad? Did I do it badly? Did they not like my singing?'
However, it wasn't long before all of those thoughts were removed from Jay's mind.
Because soon, some of the audience recovered and started clapping.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
The sound of applause soon woke up the others and they followed.
The whole restaurant was enveloped by the sound of applause for a while until Jay bowed.
From this, it was obvious just how much the people liked his singing.
Because this is not a bar, not a concert, not a festival, but a restaurant.
Not all people would even care about performers or performances in this kind of place.
Because what they mainly came here for is the food.
So, to make the whole crowd here applause is surely an achievement that not everyone is able to do.
Jay can't help but feel flattered when he thinks of that.
"Thank you, everyone!"
