My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 100 You're Simply Superman

"So, this contains all the musical achievements of the next thirty years?" Lin Xia played with the digital recorder, clicking her tongue in amazement.

"To be precise, it started three to five years ago!" Chu Zhu corrected meticulously. "Moreover, it's not all of them. I just took some from China, Europe and America, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan."

Music demos often have templates years in advance, so he pushed it back ten years—

There shouldn't be any song that took three to five years to be copyrighted; it should have been available in two to five years, right?
If it really happened, then Chu Zhu would accept it! He could just relinquish the song copyright afterwards and pay compensation as well.

“Okay, you’ve applied for the copyright, so the next step is operation!” Lin Xia counted on her fingers. “First, do you want to sign a contract with an online platform? Or, do you want to go directly to Douyin? As long as the number of users increases, the platform will pay you because the copyright is with you! Moreover, there are quite a few musicians on Douyin.”

"You handle all of this!" Chu Zhu said noncommittally. "When the time comes for me to sign a contract, I'll just look at it! In fact, if Lao Zhao doesn't press you for it in the short term, the money you make can be given to you to keep rolling in the stock market!"

In any case, with funds in the tens of millions, the risks of stock trading are acceptable!
"Okay!" Then, Lin Xia put on her headphones and started listening to music with great anticipation.

One, two, three...

Lin Xia took off his headphones and fell into deep thought. He cleared his mind, gasped, and stared blankly at Chu Zhu: "?"

"You, how come you have songs sung by women? Who did you get to sing them...?"

"Do you have a problem?" Chu Zhu's voice suddenly changed. It was exactly the same singing voice that Lin Xia had heard before, melodious and pleasant, as pure and clear as a spring.

Lin Xia: "???"

No… he did know, there seems to be such a singing technique! It allows you to switch between male and female voices…

But... what you...

Are you still a human?!

He listened to the songs again with a stiff expression, and after listening to two more, Lin Xia took the hood off again, and said in a daze, "Brother, let me ask you... how come you can really sing?"

Lin Xia's initial plan was for Chu Zhu to take the lyrics and sheet music and then go to the music academy next door to find someone to sing it...

You own the copyright, while the other person owns the right to perform the song. Once you've posted it on various websites, you can start thinking about making money!

But... you did it all by yourself from beginning to end, from male to female, from classical to folk, from Chinese to English to Japanese, from composing to writing lyrics to singing!
So you're just preventing any other practitioners from earning a single penny?!

"I can't actually sing," Chu Zhu said carefully. "What I can mainly do is play all sorts of musical instruments!"

Most musical instruments will still exist in the future... however, many will be referred to as ancient relics. Yes, mainly because they were unearthed!

"..." Lin Xia stared in disbelief at the headphones still playing music on her palm. "You call this... not being able to sing?"

The words you're saying... would make the Queen of Heaven weep, and would make the King of Heaven kneel!

"I simply completed the replication!" Chu Zhu sighed softly.

In the future Nuwa No. 17 database, he listened to the singers' songs and even watched them perform on stage at concerts.

He achieved a one-to-one replica of their voices, postures, and singing techniques simply by virtue of his extraordinary physique, exceptional memory, and a keen understanding of songs.

He can only imitate! He can't create! He certainly can't make these songs fit his own style.

This is why Chu Zhu sings in both male and female voices, basically using the same tone for each song.

It's not that he wants to change, but rather that he doesn't really understand how to use his voice, make subtle adjustments, and sing songs that are beautiful, classic, and yet suit him.

After a long silence, Lin Xia finally managed to utter a sentence.

"...You're practically a superman!"

This was the first time he had ever heard of singing like this.

……

the other side.

Dean Sun of the Teachers' College Music Academy frowned and turned off the broadcast button.

The dean's office fell silent, but the two people inside seemed to still hear the lingering echoes.

"Are you sure the copyright application has been approved?" Dean Sun asked.

"Probably?" Teacher Zhang said, but immediately corrected himself, "But there's still a public comment period... so we can't completely rule out the possibility of copyright issues!"

"...It's pointless." Dean Sun pondered for a moment, then shook his head decisively. "If it were just one or two pieces of music, this kind of problem might arise! But with so many... the fact that they all passed approval at least shows that these pieces aren't currently in the music copyright library!"

"Dozens of songs...dozens of songs!" Dean Sun muttered, as if to himself, yet also questioning, "What idiot would compose so many songs and not even put them in the copyright library?" Dean Sun scoffed, "Even if there really is such an idiot...then he deserves to have his song copyrights stolen! Not to mention his singing skills...and foreign languages, my goodness, how does he know everything!"

Dean Sun was genuinely amazed.

He started out playing folk songs and bamboo flutes, and is considered a top master in China, with numerous works on music!

In a sense, he is a true titan in the domestic music industry!

Within the entire land of China, his qualifications in this area surpass... no, at most they can only be described as comparable, after all, he has already reached almost the end of this path!

Yes, within the entire land of China, even those who can rival him are no more than ten people!

This number of ten fingers... excludes those so-called pop kings and pop superstars!
Admittedly, they may be more popular with the people than Dean Sun, and their works are well-known... but status is another matter!

"Are you really sure he's from the university next door?" Dean Sun kept muttering, his eyes filled with doubt. "What if I call him later and tell him he's a student from a music school in Shanghai or Beijing?"

“…Um, Dean!” Teacher Zhang said with a mournful face. He really didn’t want to take the blame. “You asked me to receive them! You were the one who answered Principal Li’s call. Don’t you know more about this kind of thing than I do?”

"Ahem!" Dean Sun coughed, then belatedly realized his embarrassment. He narrowed his eyes, made a decision, and took out his phone.

"Fine!" Dean Sun sighed. "Then I'll have to swallow my pride!"

He truly admired Chu Zhu; this young man's talent was like a volcanic eruption, surging, scorching, and undisguised.

His only regret now is that he shouldn't have passed the task on to Teacher Zhang in the first place...

Even just listening to the content played on a digital speaker is like listening to celestial music... It's hard to imagine what an unimaginable experience it would be to witness Chu Zhu playing and singing live.
He wanted to take Chu Zhu as his disciple—if he was simply gifted in popular culture, that wouldn't be anything special!
However, those with talent in classical music and traditional folk music... are naturally treated differently in their academic circles! This is the person who can truly inherit his mantle!
"Principal Li? Are you there?" Dean Sun's voice was filled with respect the moment the call connected.

There's no way around it; a higher rank can have absolute power! And it's not just one rank...

"Dean Sun? Oh, it seems that matter has been resolved?" Li Quanyuan's gentle voice came from the phone, with a hint of apology. "I'm sorry, that kid always likes to do some outlandish things! But he's also very... I'm not sure how to put it! But he's truly a genius and an eccentric."

“I understand…that’s definitely how it is!” Dean Sun nodded in deep agreement.

He could sense the hint of helplessness hidden in Li Quanyuan's voice, but this only showed that Principal Li valued and was lenient towards Chu Zhu.

Perhaps... Teacher Zhang's previous guess was true! It is indeed a second-generation member whose family has a long-standing relationship with Principal Li.

With thoughts racing through his mind, Dean Sun said sincerely, "I know you're very busy, Principal Li, so I won't stand on ceremony... May I ask, Principal Li, would you be willing to part with this prodigy and eccentric genius you sent to our school?"

A dead silence.

"???"

Li Quanyuan, in his office, was stunned for a moment. "Give up what you love? What do you mean, 'give up what you love'?"
and many more!

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Quanyuan's pupils contracted as he realized that Dean Sun was trying to poach his employees.

"No?" Li Quanyuan glanced at his phone screen subconsciously. Yes, he was indeed talking to Dean Sun.

He was stunned, and even wanted to ask, "Are you sober now?"
"You already know... He's a prodigy! And you still ask me this?" Li Quanyuan laughed. He realized that the joke his grandson had made when they were chatting was true—people really do laugh when they're speechless.

"But his talent lies entirely in music!" Dean Sun said with a wry smile, "Your school doesn't have a music department, so what use is it to have him?"

"Moreover, our teachers' college was separated from your school back then! In a sense, we are one family..." The more Dean Sun spoke, the more fluent, confident, and sincere he became. "Isn't it an honor for you to let this child shine so brightly here?"

“Principal Li, I know you have high hopes for this young man, and you might even know his parents! But here… this young man has better prospects! Wouldn’t that be better for you and his family?”

"Wait a minute! Let me sort this out." Li Quanyuan finally realized something was wrong. Had he... not been on the same wavelength as Dean Sun at all during their conversation?

After his eyelids twitched a few times, Li Quanyuan asked with a hint of uncertainty, "...You mean, talent in music?"

“Yes,” Dean Sun nodded blankly, but he was a shrewd person after all, and he immediately realized something. “Wait, when you said prodigies and eccentrics, you weren’t referring to music, were you? What were you referring to then?!”

"..."

Li Quanyuan remained silent for a long time, but finally felt there was no need to hide it, and said with difficulty, "It's track and field! And it's track and field champion level... world-class."

Immediately, both of them fell silent.

Standing to the side, Teacher Zhang, who had heard the entire thing through the phone's speakerphone, was left speechless.

What the hell?

What champion?!
