And so, the Fourth Prince arrived at the Good Sound Music Workshop with a retinue of officials and twenty Singers in tow.

Bai Lu saw this and personally stepped forward to welcome them, making way for the Fourth Prince and showing him great respect.

"A rare guest, a rare guest indeed! The Fourth Prince graces our humble shop, which is a tremendous honor for us. Someone, instruct the Musicians to change the tune!"

Sitting in front of the sound-mixing equipment, Lin Yi finally awaited the arrival of the Fourth Prince, feeling utterly content.

'Fourth Prince, I've heard you located the crayfish quietly and are moving them in secret, ready to make a big profit, right?'

'Well today, I will make you willingly empty your pockets. Hehe, it is indeed a good day.'

As the familiar music started, Lin Yi dedicated the song "Today is a Good Day" to the Fourth Prince.

"The joyful drums strike a note of celebration for the years, the graceful dances bring daily exhilaration, the sun's paint colors today so bright and gay..."

"Today is a good day, everything one wishes for can come true..."

Such festive singing bestowed an unprecedented prestige upon the Fourth Prince, with everyone in attendance paying their respects and offering blessings.

Bai Lu added further flattery, mentioning the happy events at the Fourth Prince Mansion as well; and for a moment, the Fourth Prince became the center of attention within the Good Sound Music Workshop.

It was daylight now, and the natural light was sufficient to illuminate the entire music venue. But to give the Fourth Prince an ultimate experience, Lin Yi ordered all the curtains to be drawn, plunging the workshop into total darkness.

The crowd was astonished, but in the next second, when Lin Yi hit the switch, dazzling and colorful lights came on, turning the music venue into a nighttime setting.

Lin Yi knew how to create ambiance, highlighting the Fourth Prince with blinding white light – wherever the Prince walked, the spotlight followed.

Feeling the adoration of the crowd was truly pleasing, putting the Fourth Prince in high spirits.

"Today really is a good day! Haha, I never thought the Good Sound Music Workshop could be so magical, illuminating me with the iridescent clouds as if from Queen Mother's Turquoise Pool; I'm truly flattered."

From the moment the Fourth Prince entered, the smile on his face had never ceased, the crow's feet at the corner of his eyes were so deep, they could trap several mosquitoes.

"This is the highest form of courtesy from our Good Sound Music Workshop, Fourth Prince. You are the first. You are a pillar of our You Country; this iridescent glow should indeed shine upon you!"

"Well said! Well said!"

Bai Lu had just finished buttering up when someone quickly echoed the sentiment. The Fourth Prince, wrapped in light, floated through the room with unparalleled joy.

'What sort of Immortal music venue is this? Bathed in iridescent light, I suppose even sitting on Your Majesty's Dragon Chair couldn't be this comfortable.'

The Fourth Prince was today's guest of honor, without equal, and Bai Lu naturally did not dare to neglect him, arranging a supremely comfortable and soft chair.

The Fourth Prince had never experienced such a soft chair and was completely astounded.

"Wait, what did I just sit on? It's softer than cotton and yet so resilient."

"The moment I sat down, all my fatigue vanished."

Lin Yi originally wanted to let the Fourth Prince enjoy himself before arranging the auction items, but alas, the Prince's curiosity was piqued, forcing Lin Yi to relay messages to Bai Lu through a Bluetooth earpiece.

Bai Lu followed Lin Yi's instructions carefully, patiently explaining to the Fourth Prince that this was a Cloud Chair, developed by Nanshan Academy, the only one in the entire workshop, and the cost price was 500 tael.

"I offer 1,000 tael, would you sell this chair to me?"

The Fourth Prince sitting on the Cloud Chair, even without listening to music, could feel completely relaxed. Spending 1,000 tael to enjoy this chair at home would be a bargain.

Bai Lu pretended to be in a difficult position. Although Lin Yi had said that it could be sold to the Fourth Prince for 500 silver, he did not want to satisfy the Fourth Prince so quickly.

He feigned hesitation and said, "Fourth Prince, this is the only Cloud Chair in our Good Sound Music Workshop. We planned to let the highest spender of the day in our workshop have a seat on it, to experience the feeling of a top-tier guest."

"What if it's sold to you, I'm afraid?"

The Fourth Prince waved his hand generously and said, "Then tell me, who has spent the most today in your music workshop? Even for the sake of this chair, I will outbid him."

Bai Lu had someone bring over a clipboard, clearly listing 380 taels of silver at the top spot.

"I'll add another 1000 taels!"

Everyone immediately erupted, the Fourth Prince's generosity certainly lived up to his reputation, and even Lin Yi in the room couldn't help but widen his eyes.

'Bai Lu you sly dog, that's quite the ruthless move. Selling one chair for a high price of 2000 taels.'

Bai Lu was not to be outdone, seizing the right moment to seal the deal, flattering the Fourth Prince with a barrage of bootlicking until he willingly gave up 2000 taels of silver.

Just like that, 2000 taels were smoothly earned, and Lin Yi was overjoyed, originally thinking he would make money from song requests, but now he was making money from selling equipment.

[Ding ding ding, congratulations to the host for successfully selling the Space Cloud Sensing Chair, completing the spontaneously triggered mission, rewarding 50 billion Heavenly Bead Coins.]

What? This happiness came too unexpectedly, selling one chair and getting paid twice.

With this, the cost of building the Good Sound Music Workshop was recouped.

No, it was doubled.

The Fourth Prince was treated like a star, living it up like an Immortal, while Zhen Ji and Hua Yue could only sit wistfully in the corner, listening intently to the songs without saying a word.

Zhen Ji felt indignant, "They are all obscure little Singers, how can they sing such wonderfully captivating songs that are pleasing to both the eye and the ear?"

Hua Yue had already seen through the trick, consolingly saying, "Look, they don't even have to play the instruments, and that little black stick hanging from their mouths, that must be some kind of secret weapon we don't know about."

"Yes, it's very likely something from Nanshan Academy. Remember, the Sixth Prince once said at the mansion that Nanshan Academy is a mysterious place that can develop many unexpected things."

From the moment they entered, Hua Yue felt the many unique aspects of the Good Sound Music Workshop.

They could create dawn-like light, produce sound without playing instruments, control the volume at will, the music styles were versatile and always fitting for the occasion.

Just plucking one of these aspects out could crush Zuimeng Music Workshop.

As long as one is sane, they would choose Good Sound Music Workshop.

Since their arrival, not a single song had been repeated, and the composed music was nothing short of perfect!

Learning something from Good Sound to use in Zuimeng Music Workshop was almost impossible.

Hua Yue also realized this, and she suddenly came to a revelation.

"Girls, I finally understood what Chairman Yang meant when he told us to fend for ourselves before he left."

Upon hearing this, twenty Singers simultaneously felt their futures were bleak.

"Why don't we also pool money to buy these musical instruments or something from Nanshan Academy, then we can keep the guests just as well," Zhen Ji naively said.
