Chapter 94 94 - Wedding
The only thing I focused on was recording episode 3 of the channel\'s vlog, which I had finished editing on Wednesday and planned to post on Friday, according to the channel\'s normal schedule.
My skills had gained a few more points by adding up what my status page had looked like since I had last looked at it.

=========================
Seeing all my skills increasing made me smile, the only thing that still made me doubt and feel a little strange was looking at my dashboard and seeing that I was still at level 01.
I still hadn\'t figured out how to level up, aside from what the rewards would be.
Would I get a buff? Or some free stat points?
I didn\'t know.
My system was different from the other system players I had seen in my previous world.
So far, the biggest difference I\'d seen was that instead of the system focusing on having me fight random dungeons like the other systems I\'d seen, my system was more focused on improving my talent and accelerating my learning rate.
With that, I began to accept the system as just a talent upgrade, but seeing level 01 and the mana bar below my HP left me with a doubt in my head that my system wasn\'t as simple as I thought.
The next day, it was finally time for me to go to the wedding show that Selena had organized for me.
Unlike the last wedding I\'d sung at, which had been in my hometown, this one was in a neighboring town, so I had a different feeling.
As far as I could tell, my audience was mostly from my hometown, since I was already known in the bars and people were singing my songs with me more and more at night, so going to a new town where probably no one would know me was a new and exciting experience.
"How are you feeling, Noah?" my mom asked as she came into the room and helped me fold the clothes I was putting in my suitcase to take with me.
"I don\'t know, excited, scared, all at the same time..." I said laughing as I thanked her for her help.
"I can imagine how you feel, I felt the same way when you were born haha." She laughed.
"I\'m not having a baby mom..." I scoffed.
"I know, but I\'m just saying that so you don\'t worry so much, your music is good, All Of Me is beautiful, and you\'re going with your new friends, right? Enjoy it as a trip with friends..." She said as she continued to fold the clothes, but I could see that her hands were shaking.
Looking at her face in confusion, I noticed that her eyes were shining as she held back tears.
Considering what a helicopter mom my mother was, it must have been very difficult for her to act like that and encourage me to follow my dream and enjoy the adventure of performing in another city.
Smiling, I walked over to her and hugged her. "Thank you." I said softly in her ear.
She hugged me back and returned the hug as she wiped tears from her eyes.
The concert was tomorrow at 7 p.m., but I wanted to skip school, even if I didn\'t have to.
I wanted to get everything ready as early as possible so there would be no chance of anything happening.
Mark and Frank would go in Mark\'s Subaru, while I would go with Selena in her Tesla.
We thought about going in one car, but we couldn\'t fit all the instruments in one car, especially with Mark\'s battery taking up the entire back seat of the Subaru.
So with everything organized, Mark and Frank came to my house on Friday morning so we could practice the repertoire we were going to play and the possible songs the guests might ask for for a few hours before Selena arrived a few hours later for us to go.
Although the concert was scheduled for 7 p.m., we had to arrive earlier to organize things, and considering that it would take us at least 2 hours to travel between the cities, it was ideal for us to leave at least 2 p.m. to ensure that no unforeseen circumstances would cause us to cancel the concert.
Since we had more time to prepare for the show this time, I even bought a video projector to hook up my laptop and put the name BlackVelvet on the wall behind us with some effects and prepared animated clips of my songs to play when I sang my songs, which would add more value to the performance and make it more interesting for the audience.
- Ashley\'s POV -
Ashley had just arrived at Sarah and Michael\'s wedding, but she was extremely bored.
Being 16 and a bit antisocial, Ashley didn\'t like events that required her to interact with her family so much.
Luckily for her, her two favorite cousins, who had similar tastes to her, were also at the wedding, so the three of them chatted from time to time.
Still, Ashley was very bored, especially since her mother wouldn\'t let her use her cell phone during the ceremony, which made Ashley even more lost.
Looking around, Ashley saw a boy about her age carrying a box on his back to the wedding venue.
What caught her attention was the boy\'s bleached hair, which stood out among so many people with natural hair and made her feel very familiar for some reason.
But Ashley couldn\'t remember where it was familiar.
When she saw that the ceremony was about to begin, Ashley had to get up and see where the bride and groom were going to enter.
The surprise for her and her cousins was that when the groom\'s song began to play, even though it was just a piano version with no vocals, they immediately recognized it.
Staring at each other in surprise, the three girls saw the shock on each other\'s faces and started laughing when they realized that they all knew The Lazy Song, and possibly for the same reason!
