Chapter 472: Chapter 472

"Hey? You live there too?" Cheng Hao was a bit surprised. Although he doesn’t know everyone at Xinghe Garden, he should have at least some understanding of all the residents. How come he has no impression of him? "I’m quite active in the community, let’s hang out next time?"

Jiang Yuan had calmed down and naturally released his hand, shook his head gravely and said, "I don’t live there and I’ve never been there. How I know this doesn’t matter.

The important thing is for you to call property management right now and report a gas leak in your home. Have them close the main valve and notify the gas company for a professional inspection.

Lives are at stake, follow my instructions and not only you can avoid disaster, but everyone in the building can prevent calamity."

Is a metaphysical expert really just that mystical? Am I going to have a bloody disaster because my brow is darkened?

"Your kitchen hasn’t been used much, so the windows and doors are closed and it’s quite sealed. But the dining room wall light is broken, and the smart home system has been activating all lights since you entered. When the time comes, sparks from the wall light will ignite the leaking gas."

For the first time, Jiang Yuan passively triggered the Foreknowledge Technique in reality, and it was such a major disaster right away. He couldn’t help but emphasize, "Xinghe Garden is a high-rise luxury apartment. You know how serious the consequences can be if the gas leaks and explodes.

Even if you don’t believe me, consider it a precaution to call property management and have them deal with it, right?"

Luxe apartment owners have a concierge service, and calling them is indeed not a troublesome thing. Cheng Hao glanced bewilderedly at Jiang Yuan and then at the equally bewildered others. He smiled, nodded, and said, "I’ll have them go over to check it out right away."

"My bro always gets things done reliably, you’ll see, Hao! Chuci admired Jiang Yuan immensely and opened a bottle of wine, poured it, and said with a smile, "If we take the property management’s handling speed into account, the answer will come in at most ten minutes. If the wall light really has issues, and the kitchen gas is leaking, Hao, you need to thank him properly!"

"That would be more than simple thanks, it’d be thanking a lifesaver!"

"Hey Jiang, can you spot such a big thing with just a glance? Can you glance at me too? See if there’s anything unlucky happening around me recently!"

"Saying that, Xinghe Garden’s management isn’t that great, huh? It seems our community checks for safety hazards regularly. Gas leaks aren’t a small thing; last year, Cui Lanlan’s place in the south blew up because of a gas leak upstairs. Though she didn’t live there now, the explosion and fire pretty much ruined that property."

"Hao, in your Xinghe Garden apartment layout, the kitchen’s location is right near the front entrance, isn’t it? If you don’t use the kitchen much, you might as well shut off the gas pipeline."

"Indeed, I don’t use it much." Cheng Hao, having finished calling, felt uneasy and explained, "Just occasionally when I stay up late, I’ll cook some noodles for myself. I’m always bothered with turning the valve on and off. Google seaʀᴄh 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩

Besides... they usually inspect every quarter, and I didn’t expect this thing could leak for no reason."

In the entire private room, apart from Jiang Yuan and the halfway-rich second-generation Chuci, the others were born with silver spoons and were used to having everything done for them.

Cooking and using gas are rare for them, and gas leaks even more so unheard of. Having Jiang Yuan directly point it out made each person curious yet a bit nervous.

"By our rules, let’s start with a song to warm up, everyone sing a few lines in turn." Chuci, as the host of the gathering, naturally had to be the atmosphere coordinators, aiming for Jiang Yuan and a few buddies to quickly hit it off.

They were pretty good friends and often gathered, accustomed to a warm-up sing-off to break the ice with some laughs.

Then, they liked to invite a couple of familiar female friends to hang out together. A person like Chuci, who keeps himself clean, would drink a little, sing loudly, and finish off with a bath and massage upstairs in the spa, enjoying a comfortable nap before heading home.

So he casually swiped to choose a high-difficulty song "Never Left".

"I need to start with this song!" Zhang Mingchen, who was busy shelling sunflower seeds, rushed to grab the mic, "The first two lines are the only ones I can get through; shouting up the rest splits my voice no matter what!"

"I realized Chuci just loves the song ’Never Breathed’. I can’t sing that, so I’ll go second."

"This song is clearly called ’Never Breathing’." Cheng Hao held his phone waiting for a reply, then patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Playing with these rascals requires letting loose, quickly grab a spot so Chuci himself has to sing the later part!"

Jiang Yuan indeed felt a bit nervous, especially since this song was high-difficulty and he was facing so many strangers for the first time, really sing?

When he used to go to KTV, he was acutely aware of his limitations, generally humming a few lines during the chorus, while spending the rest of the time either munching on fruits or tucked away in a corner listening to others sing.

As the music started, Chuci turned and reassured Jiang Yuan with a Calming Pill, "Just play freely. If you don’t want to sing, I can sing for you!"

"I once loved, and lost..." As soon as Zhang Mingchen started with the mic, he made everyone laugh, confirming it was more of heartfelt reading than anything to do with singing.

But after he "sang" the first few lines, Cheng Hao showcased impressive singing skills upon taking over, clearly having gone through systematic training.

His pronunciation and melody were comfortable, coupled with the music setup of the luxury room—it was quite engaging.

Jiang Yuan instinctively hummed along for a couple of lines, and Chuci, who was ready to step in at any moment, couldn’t help his bright eyes, directly passing the mic in his hand over.

"I look into the distant peaks but miss the turning at the intersection..." Jiang Yuan casually opened his mouth and found the voice flowing naturally from his throat seemingly unrelated to him—clear and ethereal, not only pitch-perfect but effortlessly light!

Yaoguang’s potion can really let someone easily possess a heavenly voice?!

He was shocked himself, and after singing a couple of lines, he stopped abruptly. In the room, only the music continued—Chuci hadn’t played the original track, it was the voice that had just come out naturally!

"Joking aside, Jiang Yuan, are you secretly a professional singer?"

"Chuci, quickly switch back!"

"Yeah, switch back and let Bro Yuan sing the whole song!"

It’s easy to distinguish genuinely stunning performances from false flatteries.

Chuci truly hadn’t expected that the usually ordinary speaking voice of Jiang Yuan could effortlessly sing with such clear and elevated tone, and he quickly switched the song back.

After all, Jiang Yuan had seen a lot in the Wilderness and wasn’t shy, and he wanted to try out what he could do after drinking Yaoguang’s potion.

Taking the mic from Chuci’s hand, from the first line he was already quite professional, Cheng Hao, who had specifically trained in music, couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, giving a thumbs up, "That range is incredible! Definitely top-notch among professional singers."

"For you, I sing a dedicated love song, please listen to what I have to say..." Jiang Yuan was certain he wasn’t singing any differently than usual, yet the voice from the microphone was sonorous and powerful, even carrying a hint of fury.

Previously, hearing his own voice would feel embarrassing; now, blending with music, it actually sounded quite nice?

The KTV room door opened, and the manager entered with a complimentary fruit platter. After greeting the familiar customers, he was bemused by the effortlessly high-pitched Jiang Yuan, thinking to himself how they were second-generation wealthy who knew how to play, bringing professional singers to karaoke.

However, this guy seemed new-faced, maybe not a very famous singer.

To be able to mingle in the wealthy second-generation circle, anyone caught their eyes would surely be a future star with money thrown into their path! As he thought so, he began to scheme.

When the song ended, everyone clapped in unison.

"Amazing Jiang Yuan, I almost suffocated listening to that, can you really sing without breathing?"

Cheng Hao was astonished, looking at Jiang Yuan who remained unfazed and not even panting, "What kind of lung capacity is that? Damn, that’s impressive!"

The manager jested from the side, "Sang wonderfully! If I could have the fortune to invite you to sing a couple of songs at my bar, it’d surely be trending the next day!"

"Yeah, being a bar resident singer does sound fun." Jiang Yuan indeed didn’t feel tired, in fact, after effortlessly hitting high notes, his voice totally opened up, eager to try new Skills, he casually replied.

The other party was serious, "I’m serious. Performance fees are negotiable, when are you available?"
