Chapter 16 Youth Commemorative Album

Even though it was disgusting, Jiang Rumeng didn't intend to step in and sabotage Lilia.

After all, the current situation is extremely advantageous to her.

If Lilia wins, Jiang Qin's reputation will be further ruined. Given her mother's prideful nature, she will probably never publicly acknowledge her again.

If Jiang Qin wins, Lilia will likely be expelled from school.

Then there won't be any more annoying people like that in the dorm, so she's happy to sit back and watch the showdown.

***
Despite Lilia's provocation, Jiang Qin remained calm, even as three negative comments scrolled by in a second.

"I'm here today not to argue with you about who the original creators of those three songs were."

"Aren't you a top student in the music department at the University of Toronto? Then you should dare to accept the challenge from a female from a barren planet like me, right?"

Lilia raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are we competing in?"

"It's very simple. We'll compare your expertise, your composition, lyrics, and singing skills. We'll use software to create questions and score you. It's fair, isn't it?"

Lilia didn't speak, maintaining a smile on her face, but her eyes kept glancing to the side.

A minute later, that confident smile reappeared on her face, as if she had been reassured by something.

The answer is easy to guess; someone probably prepared a lot of songs for her to cheat with.

Jiang Qin wasn't flustered at all. No matter how much she prepared, could she possibly have more works than those on Earth?

Sure enough, once she had a better idea of ​​what to expect, she immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll compete with you, but if you lose, you have to admit that you plagiarized and return the copyrights of those three songs to me."

"Okay, but if you lose, you have to admit that you slandered me and record a video to publicly apologize to the entire internet. The video must be posted online for seven days."

The two parties agreed on the stakes and then requested a match with the mastermind referee from the platform.

The Mastermind Judge is a branch of the Federal StarNet Mastermind.

It is an absolutely fair and impartial entity; no one can interfere with its judgment, nor can anyone control its thoughts.

Its scoring is accurate to the decimal point, so Jiang Qin trusts it more than a human judge.

Soon, the master referee responded to their request, and a small robot appeared on the live stream screen.

Jiang Qin and Lilia now have another option to prepare.

After both parties have made their choices, the referee robot begins to draw questions.

[Question 1: With graduation season approaching, please have the two of you perform a new song about school, graduation, and youth.]

[Wow, this is a good topic; I like this type of song.]
Before we knew it, graduation season had arrived again. How many new faces will appear on the graduation field this year?
Kids, cherish your time in school, because once you graduate, you'll face a harsh reality.
[I've heard the cold wave is coming early this year, and the animal tide is expected to be even more intense than usual.]
.........

The composition time is twenty minutes per song. You can sing new songs from your library, but you must ensure that they are your own copyrighted works.

The order of events was also determined by drawing lots.

Simply click "Start Drawing" to determine the order of appearance, and you will receive a number.

Jiang Qin drew her own ticket after only five minutes. Seeing this, Lilia on the other side followed suit and gave her a provocative look.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Jiang. I was thinking of singing first to give you more time to prepare, but I didn't expect to be so lucky."

Lilia smiled at her with a hint of smugness.

Composing and writing lyrics in just twenty minutes is really a tight schedule.

Moreover, without time to warm up their voices, it's easy to make mistakes, so the person who sings first is at a disadvantage.

But this was exactly what Jiang Qin wanted.

Because she was afraid that the other side would lose and then use this as an excuse to make excuses. After all, given Lilia's thick skin, the probability of this happening was quite high.

However, Jiang Qin was too lazy to play along. She simply picked up her guitar, tested the sound, and began to play formally. "I give you my heart as a keepsake."

This love is fresh whenever you open it.

With me by your side, even the bitterest times turn into sweet ones…

[Another song of a type I've never heard before, but it's the same type as the three songs she released before.]
[That's right. Although the styles are different, the types are similar. They both focus on emotional expression and both use relatively clean vocals.]
[Most of the synthesized songs from our Federation have a rather sharp tone, completely different from Jiang Qin's songs.]
[It's quite obvious that these songs are basically from the same source, and can be considered a new style of music.]
[Tsk tsk, this plagiarism is quite intriguing.]
Last summer

The beach where you count seashells and waves
We pray for this day next year.

"And you can still maintain such a carefree smile..."

Jiang Qin, who was initially still angry, calmed down the moment the guitar started playing.

Her emotions were gradually affected by the song, as if she were seeing the scene she had once longed for.

Wearing school uniforms, holding flowers in their hands, surrounded by classmates, they all smile at the camera.

However, she never had a graduation photo in her life.

No matter how big the storm, I will forge ahead.
Our love is engraved in the scrapbook of our youth…

Pan Yangxia, who originally just came to support her idol, was instantly captivated by this song.

He excitedly told his roommate, "I know what song we'll be singing at this year's graduation party!"
"Let's sing this song together. I think we can break it down into several parts and then sing it all together at the end."

"Is this a new song? I've never heard it before?"

"It's an unreleased song, my idol Jiang Qin's new song. She's competing against someone."

The people nearby immediately gathered around out of curiosity.

The two beautiful faces on the screen instantly captivated the hearts of these single men.

Wow! Both of you little females are so beautiful! Who is your idol?

Pan Yangxia pointed at Jiang Qin, "This is Miss Jiang Qin. Do you see what she's holding? If I'm not mistaken, it should be an ancient musical instrument, a guitar."

"?? Are ancient musical instruments being played now?"

Another person exclaimed in shock, "No way? There are actually people these days who can play ancient instruments without using software? That's amazing!"

"Yes!" Otherwise, why would he admire Jiang Qin so much?

No matter how many people doubt him, he will believe her.

He didn't believe that someone who could play multiple ancient musical instruments would need to steal someone else's sheet music.

This new song is proof of that.

Soon, the AI ​​judge gave Jiang Qin a score.

[High-quality new song, full of appeal, correct theme, good timbre, minor flaws in singing technique, rated 96.35 points.]

Bonus points: Playing ancient musical instruments +3 points.

The final score was 99.35.

Next, it was Lilia's turn to sing.

It must be said that she is, after all, a music student; her singing skills, while not exceptional, are not bad either.

Jiang Qin found it very uncomfortable to listen to.

Because some of the melodies in this song are too sharp, especially the kind that suddenly becomes sharp, and the lyrics are even more plain and simple.
