After the vicious cannon fodder pampered the imperial marshal, he became popular

Chapter 168 Sound Range
[“Sound Range”, what are you doing? Didn’t you say the live stream would start promptly at 6 PM? Look at the time! A full 3 minutes have passed, and the live stream is still black. If you don’t start soon, I’m going to throw a tantrum!]

After such a long delay, the recording of the music variety show is finally about to begin.

In interstellar space, people aren't particularly enthusiastic about this kind of entertainment program, but this time is different. This is the first time a program has connected all the star networks of planets under the Empire.

Because it was novel, everyone was very curious.

Many people say that just because it connects all the affiliated planets, even if this music variety show is a pile of shit, they still have to go and taste it.

[Is there anyone who was there? Please come forward and describe what happened.]

[Exactly, exactly! I'm still waiting to see my idol, it's so slow!]

[I'm there. Well, how should I put it? The judges are already here, but the live stream hasn't started yet.]

Don't ask, the answer is the system hasn't been successfully debugged yet.

Inside the council chamber, a group of formally dressed old men stared intently at the quantum computer in front of them, their brows furrowed and expressions serious. Given the occasion and their expressions, the guards outside cautiously glanced inside and gave a signal to the person next to them.

What's wrong with the elders? Is the empire about to encounter some troublesome matter again?

After all, they hadn't seen the elders with such solemn expressions in a long time.

The last time I saw him was right after the marshal went missing.

Their expressions left them no choice but to think.

The person next to him pursed his lips and shook his head, wondering to himself, could something really have happened to the empire?

Just as they were filled with worry about the empire, they heard a voice coming from inside the council chamber.

"Head of the guard, come here." The Grand Elder looked up and called out towards the door.

The head guard was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he saw the look in the eyes of the Grand Elder, who seemed to be annoyed that he was too slow.

The head guard quickly gathered his thoughts, strode over, and stood respectfully before the elders with his eyes lowered.

Judging from the elder's serious expression just now, did he call me here because there was some important document to present to His Majesty?

Or should I send someone to notify my subordinates to hold a meeting?
In an instant, countless possibilities and solutions flashed through his mind.

Ideas like which path is the fastest, how to send out notifications the fastest, and so on.

Just as his brain was racing, a voice entered his ears.

"Captain of the Guard, do you know how to do live streaming?" The elder's voice was extremely serious, as if he were dealing with something of utmost importance.

Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard's mind went blank for a moment.

Looking completely bewildered, what is that?
Seeing that he didn't react, the elder's expression became even more serious: "You don't know how?"

The head guard immediately snapped out of his daze: "Yes! I can!"

"Then take a look, what's wrong with this live stream? The broadcast time has already passed, why is the screen still black? Did I click something wrong?"

They usually had no problem with the empire's systems, but they had never really been exposed to this kind of entertainment before, and for a moment they were at a loss.

I fiddled with it for ages but still couldn't get it to work.

What if he goes in too late and doesn't see Miss Wen? What a terrible platform.

With the elder's serious expression on his face, the head guard cautiously glanced at the page on the personal terminal.

"What happened?" the elder asked.

The head guard was so surprised that the elder was taking this so seriously—it was actually a live stream, and an entertainment one at that—that his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Reporting to the elder, it's because the live stream hasn't started yet." The head guard's voice seemed to float in disbelief.

"Hasn't it started?" The elder frowned.

He appeared to see some message. Then, to the astonishment of the head guard, the elder picked up the communicator and made a call.

The Imperial Information Network Oversight Department was momentarily surprised when they saw the message from the elders. Had something gone wrong with their recent work? Why would the elders call them?

Fearing there might be a problem, he immediately answered the call, his tone respectful: "Elder, good day."

"Is there a program there called...?" For a moment, I forgot the name of the program, but another elder next to me immediately prompted me: "Voice Range."

“Yes, vocal range,” the elder said. “Did you fail to approve their network connection application?”

If I hadn't just seen the message Yan Yi sent me, I wouldn't have known that the live stream hadn't started because my online application hadn't been approved.

It was ultimately rejected by the Imperial central system.

"Voice range?" Upon hearing this name, the minister immediately recalled that there was indeed such a thing. Generally speaking, programs of this caliber would not reach their supervisory department for approval.

However, due to the special nature of this matter—they needed to connect the star networks of the planets belonging to the lower empires, a task of immense scale—they were concerned about potential problems and therefore transferred the task upwards.

"Yes, Elder. It's because the materials and StarNet information for one of the subsidiary planets in the data they submitted were incomplete, so they sent it back for reprocessing before resubmission."

After all, this is a large-scale operation, and they are acting in accordance with the regulations.

"Alright, approve it now." Don't think he didn't know; Yan Yi had already told him that it was just a minor issue. These people were too rigid, and the process had to be made more reasonable.

But going through the process again would take a lot more time.

"Elder, this...?" The man hesitated, "What if His Majesty blames us?"

"This is what His Majesty has agreed to." The elder, no longer wanting to waste any more words with them, directly gave the order: "The elders will vote unanimously to approve Yin Yu's application."

If His Majesty hadn't said that Miss Wen's participation in this variety show couldn't be leaked, he would have given her the green light all the way, and there wouldn't have been so many procedures.

After all, the fact that the group has achieved such relief is so shocking that only those in positions of power know about it.

When the time is right, it will be announced, but that time will not be long. Once Miss Wen starts the competition, people will probably notice it very soon.

Upon hearing this, the man immediately straightened his expression and replied, "Yes!"

.

On the other side of the Sound Range program team, the atmosphere was somber. They hadn't expected a mistake to occur at such a crucial moment, and the re-approval process would take a considerable amount of time.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Let's issue a notice through the official account, announcing the postponement of the broadcast and explaining the reasons clearly."

There's no other way now.

Just when everyone was about to give up, a voice suddenly rang out: "Director, it's approved! It's been approved from above!"

director:"?!!"

At first, I was stunned, then I was overwhelmed with joy: "Really?"

"It's true! The notification just came out that the star network systems of all the affiliated planets have been successfully connected."

"Great!" the director exclaimed, clapping his hands.

"It must have been Miss Zhan who contacted her fiancé to resolve this matter. It seems we should thank Miss Zhan properly this time."

That's right, Zhan Zhirou also participated in this music variety show, and she successfully matched with Xiao Huai. As the male protagonist of the original novel, Xiao Huai's status was naturally not low, and he even took over Fu Yanci's status at one point.

Of course, that's assuming Fu Yanci died from insect poisoning in the original text.

But now, everything is different, though that's a story for another time.

The director, who was completely unaware of the inside story, specifically instructed: "Remember to give Ms. Zhan more screen time when you go live."

Amidst the urging of the crowd, the live stream started smoothly, albeit delayed by half an hour.
