Novel Full Chapter 754: My Dream Was To Be a Singer!
Luke glanced at the Basic Vocal Sound and Basic Musical Instruments on the list of abilities which belonged to a girl with the “lion’s roar.” He was extremely calm.
They only cost 200 credit points, and he had long learned them.
He coughed and said solemnly, “My dream was to be a singer!”
Both Claire and Selina had WTF expressions on their faces.
Luke had actually had many similar dreams in his past life. From wanting to be a scientist when he was young to becoming a magnate, he changed ambitions so frequently that he hadn’t realized any of them before he transmigrated.
“Listen to this.” He opened his mouth: “It starts with one thing, I don’t know why…”
Claire, who had lived with Luke for more than ten years, never thought that Luke could sing, and pretty well at that.
Selina calmed down a little. She had heard him sing once in a while, and although it wasn’t in this style, all of it sounded pretty good.
Claire, who had always been interested in music, couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t I heard this song before?”
Luke: “…I made it up.”
It was something from his previous life.
Claire and Selina were lost for words.
Claire asked again, “Who sings rock n’ roll like that? Can it even be considered singing?”
Luke said, “It’s a personal style, which is why I don’t really appreciate your… er, agricultural heavy metal?”
Claire: “Huh? That’s heavy metal, alright? What agricultural heavy metal? Why haven’t I heard of rock music like that?”
Luke said, “…Fine, maybe I remembered wrongly, but the meaning’s there. So, it’s not that I can’t sing, it’s just that I don’t usually sing.”
The rock songs that he remembered from his previous life were well-known masterpieces – he had long forgotten the average ones.
Of course, it wasn’t fair to compare these top-notch rock songs of these top rock singers or bands with the ones that Claire listened to.
What he sang just now wasn’t bad, and was a cross between rap and rock.
Claire had never heard it but she liked it, and couldn’t refute his words at all.
She was distracted by this for a moment as she questioned Luke inquisitively on the rest of the song.
Selina reminded her, “Hey, didn’t you want Luke’s help just now?”
Claire slapped her forehead. “I want to meet Sheerah and hear her personally talk about Batman.”
Luke scratched his head. “She seems a little busy recently…”
But seeing the longing look in the little monkey’s eyes, Luke said, “I’ll call her.”
Sheerah quickly picked up. After a brief conversation, Luke hung up. “She’s preparing a charity performance for the earthquake and is rarely at home.”
Claire gave a disappointed “oh” and didn’t say anything else.
Looking at how listless the little monkey was, Luke’s heart softened. “It seems you’re pretty good at singing?”
Claire said, “Don’t you know? I was in a band with a few guys in school. I learned basic music theory, but I’m not a professional.”
Luke rubbed his chin. “Let me hear a bit of it.”
Claire: “Huh?”
…
That night, Luke drove to a hotel and made a call in the lounge before he sat down.
Ten minutes later, a woman wearing a T-shirt and shorts, and a cap and a pair of sunglasses, came over and sat opposite him. “Luke, long time no see.”
Luke said with a smile, “Sheerah, I’m sorry to bother you so late, but I have something to ask you.”
Most of the people who went out at night in Los Angeles were celebrities.
Sheerah was a big star, of course.
She was exhausted, but she was also interested.
Luke rarely contacted her directly. He sent her holiday greetings at most.
She still owed Luke a favor, so she had agreed to meet him the moment he called.
She nodded readily at his words. “Go ahead.”
“Actually, you can use a little more publicity for your charity show…” Luke explained his idea simply, and Sheerah’s expression turned serious.
After some consideration, she felt that this plan was very practical.
For the past few days, she had been thinking about the charity performance itself, while Luke’s idea was to promote it and let more people know about it.
It wasn’t too difficult or too big to do, and could be done as a dress rehearsal for the performance.
“And the song?” She raised the biggest question. “Where can I find a suitable new song?”
A new song was required for this promo event. It had to be in line with the theme of the charity show, and be something that could be sung by a lot of people.
Luke took out a piece of paper with a smile. “I got someone to write a song. You can take a look first.”
Sheerah was surprised. “You found someone?” She picked up the song sheet and took a look, and couldn’t help humming lightly.
Luke waited for a few minutes. Seeing that she was still trying to figure out how to sing the song, he couldn’t help but tap the table. “Sheerah, wait.”
Sheerah came back to herself and looked up at him. “Huh? What?”
Luke said, “You can take your time looking at the song. As long as it’s for charity, you don’t have to pay for it. It’s up to you to decide if you want to use it or not.”
Sheerah looked at him in surprise. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly smiled. “If there’s something you need, you can tell me.”
Luke chuckled. “I have a sister who’s curious about your new song and Batman, but you’ve been busy recently…”
Sheerah raised her hand. “I can specially make time to chat with her. There’s no need for the two of us to be so polite, right?”
Luke said, “The charity show is a serious matter while she’s just curious; the two shouldn’t be mixed together. So, I want her to come and help out during the show for a bit. You can talk to her when you have the time, but don’t give her special treatment; just treat her like any of the other volunteers.”
Sheerah naturally understood that he didn’t want his sister to chase after stars.
As a volunteer, Clare could do good work and get practical community experience, killing two birds with one stone. Chatting with Sheerah would just be a bonus.
Sheerah nodded quickly. “No problem. The show naturally will need a lot of volunteers.”
Luke said with a smile, “Don’t underestimate my little sister. She’s an excellent student at the police academy and has already started fieldwork in Los Angeles a few days ago.”
Sheerah also smiled. “I see it runs in the family.”
Luke took out a card and gave it to her. “The song composer has already entrusted the related legal matters to this firm. If it’s for charity, there won’t be any additional conditions, and I won’t be involved.”
They stood up and shook hands.
Luke was about to let go, but Sheerah suddenly felt playful.
She pulled and hugged him, then pressed her cheek to his a little intimately in farewell. “Since we’re friends, don’t be so formal. This isn’t a business meeting.”
