00:00A 60-year-old man merely accompanied his daughter to a bar for a little fun.

00:04Unexpectedly, the bar owner mistook him for the resident singer and invited him on stage.

00:07With just one original song, he instantly ignited the enthusiasm of every audience member.

00:12Even the bar, which was on the verge of closing, has been packed to capacity ever since.

00:16Once a singing legend at the peak of his career,

00:18he accidentally traveled through to this parallel world during a performance.

00:21He found himself inhabiting the body of an old man suffering from a terminal illness

00:25who had been kicked out of his home.

00:26The original owner had spent his life writing songs for his ex-wife's current husband.

00:30Under threat of losing custody of his three daughters,

00:32his ex-wife's husband became a universally respected king of the music world thanks to those songs.

00:36Meanwhile, under the influence of his ex-wife and her husband,

00:39his three daughters had always looked down on him.

00:41Desperate, the terminally ill man produced his medical diagnosis,

00:44hoping to force his ex-wife to confess the truth before he died.

00:47She accused him of faking his illness to garner sympathy,

00:50causing their three daughters to drive him out of the house.

00:52After learning of the original owner's tragic fate,

00:54he wanted nothing more than to avenge him.

00:56Yet his current physical condition left him powerless to act.

00:58Just as he was feeling resentful, a system alert suddenly echoed in his mind.

01:02It detected that the host's life value was critically low.

01:05The brilliant life system activated, prompting the old man to choose a cheer value.

01:08He thought the system was worthless and angrily fainted in the middle of the street.

01:12Three kind-hearted girls driving by found him and took him home,

01:15sparing him from miserable death on the roadside.

01:17He was overjoyed to discover that as long as people cheered for his actions,

01:20he would receive cheer value rewards from the system.

01:22Cheer value could not only be exchanged for life value,

01:24but also allow him to return to earth.

01:26He asked the system how many cheer points he needed and was stunned to hear he required 100 million.

01:31He refused to give up.

01:32When he learned that the bar where one of the girls performed was about to close,

01:35he asked her to take him there.

01:36After a brief self-introduction to the owner,

01:38he declared that if allowed to sing three songs,

01:40he could revive the bar and drop-pack crowds every night thereafter.

01:43Although skeptical, the owner, facing imminent closure, decided it was worth a try.

01:47He not only agreed immediately,

01:49but also pledged a 90% discount on drinks the next day to generate buzz.

01:52The other two girls, hearing his bold promise, assumed he was boasting.

01:56They believed only a top-tier celebrity could save the bar from closure.

01:59To prove himself, he grabbed a guitar and attempted to earn some cheer points before singing.

02:03But as soon as he began to warm up, a violent coughing fit struck him,

02:06revealing that his current body couldn't handle singing.

02:08Resigned, he exchanged some cheer value for 10 minutes of life value.

02:11A flash of white light passed through him, filling him with strength.

02:14He then played and sang in front of the three girls.

02:16Delighted by his beautiful voice, they all praised his extraordinary talent.

02:19When the system tallied the results, he happily received 900 cheer points.

02:23Back home, his eldest daughter noticed he hadn't returned and sent her two younger sisters to find him.

02:28The younger sisters, however, secretly hoped he wouldn't come back

02:31so they could rightfully become a family with their music king father.

02:34Just as the eldest daughter was about to scold them,

02:36she received a call from a friend inviting her to perform at the bar again that night.

02:39Upon arriving, she found the bar empty.

02:41Her friend explained that the competing bar across the street

02:44was running a promotion that drew all the customers.

02:46Inside the bar, customers saw the owner bringing an old man on stage

02:48and urged him to get off.

02:50Unperturbed, he picked up the guitar and sang just one song.

02:53Immediately, the crowd went wild.

02:54Never expecting such a beautiful voice from an old man meanwhile,

02:58when the eldest daughter returned home and saw her two sisters watching a live stream,

03:01she was shocked to discover their father was the one performing.
