Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Each of them had their own thoughts, and neither of them knew what the other was thinking.

Bronya suddenly slammed her fist on her palm: "Oh right, I was so focused on your mess that I almost forgot about something more important!"

As she spoke, she gestured for Bai Qianqu to come behind her, then pointed to the computer screen and said, "Look at your song data for this month!"

"What's wrong with the data?" Bai Qianqu looked bewildered. The month was almost over, could there be some other unexpected event?

However, when he saw the number of downloads for his song, he was completely stunned.

"Fleet of Time", downloads: 41 million!

"Huh? What happened? I remember it was only 35 million a couple of days ago?"

Bai Qianqu has been preparing for her TV live broadcast these past few days and hasn't been paying attention to the new song charts. She didn't expect the data to have increased so much in just a few days.

"That's not the most important thing. Look at the gap between you and the third place."

Following Bronya's finger, Bai Qianqu saw the third place in downloads: 41.5 million!

A difference of 500,000 is practically nothing for the new song chart!

This means that he was just one step away from surpassing the third place!

Bai Qianqu was completely bewildered. He had no idea what had happened or why his data had increased so much.

Could it be that someone rigged the votes for me?

But isn't vote rigging illegal in this world? If you get caught, the consequences will be unimaginable!

He certainly didn't want to go inside and operate the sewing machine.

Who could be so malicious as to rig votes for themselves?!

Bronya looked at Bai Qianqu's reddened eyes and assumed he was excited, so she said, "Don't get too excited. The reason why the data has risen so quickly is mainly because there has been a wave of cover songs on the Internet recently. Many people are covering songs. And your song has been covered the most times, so it has attracted a lot of attention."

"Huh?" This was the second time Bai Qianqu had used this tone to say this word today. "Why?"

"Why? You don't know?" Bronya looked at him strangely. "Didn't you leave a comment for an online singer who covered your song? Have you forgotten?"

Bai Qianqu then remembered that she did indeed do such a thing.

He was inspired to write a song for Barbara after seeing her cover of his song, which led him to post a comment.

"Yeah, so what?" Bai Qianqu still couldn't figure out what the cover song craze had to do with her comments.

Bronya had no choice but to explain the situation to Bai Qianqu, and only then did Bai Qianqu understand what had happened.

"So, you're saying I really started this cover song craze?" Bai Qianqu's expression was complicated.

To be honest, he really just wanted to write a song for Barbara, and it had nothing to do with whether Barbara would cover his songs or not... Well, okay, it does have something to do with it, since if Barbara didn't cover his songs, Li Yang wouldn't have shown them to him.

Bronya chuckled and said, "Anyway, whether you caused it or not, you definitely benefited the most. The download volume of the entire chart has increased, and your download volume has increased the most and the fastest."

While the two were talking, the 0 gap between "Fleet of Time" and the previous place was instantly wiped out. It directly overtook the third place and rightfully took the top three spot.

At this moment, in a room of Anti-Entropy, an S-level singer was painfully clutching his buttocks, on the verge of tears.

He really didn't expect that, with the month almost over, he still couldn't save his chrysanthemum.

Just as he was in great pain, thinking about how to salvage the situation, the phone rang. It was the singer who came in second place calling.

"Hey bro, what happened? How did we suddenly get blown up?"

Hearing the mocking voice on the other end of the phone, the S-level singer gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Don't get too cocky! You might be the next one to get exposed!"

"Hehe, I'm more than two million higher than you, how could you possibly touch me? Didn't you see that the growth rate of 'Fleet of Time' data has slowed down?"

When this S-level singer saw it, he realized it was true. As the speed of "Fleet of Time" was about to stop, his eyes turned red!

How can one person suffer alone! He looked at his colleague's song, which was ranked second and had 4355 million downloads at that time!

"My chrysanthemums are withered, and yours won't survive either!"

P.S.: I'm writing faster now, there will be another chapter later!

Chapter 106 Harming Others Without Benefiting Oneself (Bonus Chapter)

After saying that, he hung up the phone and went straight to his own Weibo account. He then followed Qu Yin's account and forwarded Qu Yin's post without saying a word, along with pictures and text.

[I am completely convinced by Qu Yin's talent, and I hereby declare myself a fan of Qu Yin from now on!]

This singer is an S-level artist, and naturally has an astonishing number of fans. When they saw their idol publicly announcing that they wanted to be fans of Qu Yin, they were all stunned.

However, considering Qu Yin's talent, which is comparable to that of an A-level composer, everyone felt it made sense.

Isn't it normal for an S-level singer to fawn over an A-level composer?

My brother has finally figured it out! That's right, he needs to build a good relationship with music teacher Qu Yin. Maybe Qu Yin will write songs for my brother in the future.

Indeed, Qu Yin's talent is undeniable, and the way he stood up to outsiders on that TV show was so cool! I declare myself a fan of Qu Yin from now on.

Our idol likes Qu Yin teacher, so of course we like Qu Yin teacher too!

[Simply liking it isn't enough; you should take some action, like subscribing to songs by artist Qu Yin on the new song chart.]

"Oh... this isn't quite right, is it? After all, we're still competitors."

[My brother has already admitted defeat, why are we still stubbornly persisting? Subscribing to Qu Yin's channel is also doing Qu Yin a favor for my brother, and not just anyone can do that.]

That makes sense, let's do it together.

. . . . . .

Seeing his fans decide to subscribe to Quyin, the S-level singer chuckled and logged out of his Weibo account.

That's right, he was the one who just rallied his fans.

After doing all this, he stared at the new song chart and, sure enough, saw that Qu Yin's song downloads started to rise again, surpassing the second place in less than an hour.

"Ah, I feel good."

At that moment, being anally violated didn't seem so unacceptable.

At this moment, the second-place singer put on the same pain mask as the third-place singer had worn, and his eyes were bloodshot!

He looked at the number one spot! The number one spot had 4820 million downloads!

So, naturally, he did the same thing as the third-place finisher.

[Teacher Qu Yin is awesome! Let's help Teacher Qu Yin reach the top!]

He's more direct!

The first-place winner suddenly felt a tightness in their anus!

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he watched the two guys behind him frantically promoting Qu Yin for free.

Holy crap! What the hell are you guys doing?!

It's harmful to others and doesn't benefit oneself, is it?

For the remaining two days, the singer couldn't eat or sleep well, and was always woken up by nightmares as soon as he fell asleep.

In his dreams, he always saw a muscular man standing in front of his window with a big, thick black baseball bat.

With a whoosh of lightning, the burly man's ferocious face was revealed.

The big man grinned!

"Hey, let's play Van Games together."

It almost caused this fire-chasing singer to suffer a nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, when the clock struck midnight on the last day, the download count for "Fleet of Time" stopped at 4800 million. Less than 50 downloads away from first place!

If there had been another hour, the number one spot might have really changed hands. Unfortunately, time was up, the new song chart was refreshed instantly, and a different batch of new songs took its place.

As the winner breathed a sigh of relief, the annual battle of the little gods finally came to an end.

"Fleet of Time" ultimately came in second place, completely surprising everyone. Qu Yin also earned the title of the biggest dark horse.

After this battle, Qu Yin's name left a deep mark on music history.

. . . . . .

Seeing her inexplicably increased download count, Bai Qianqu burst into laughter.

4800 million! According to my latest contract, I'll get 960 million! After taxes, it'll be 768 million!

What could be more delightful than finding money for free?

It’s so delicious!

Just as he was happily looking at his bank account balance, his phone vibrated and a message came in.

Bai Qianqu picked it up and saw that it belonged to Raven.

[Raven: Teacher Qianjian, is the latest 200,000-word chapter finished yet?]

Bai Qianqu scratched his head. He had only written less than half of it. He had been so busy these past few days that he hadn't even picked up a pen.

[Qianjian: Not yet, what's wrong?]

Raven looked furious when he saw Bai Qianqu's reply. It had been more than half a month and he still hadn't finished writing it. Even the donkeys in the production team dared not rest here!

In the past two weeks, she has received many messages from readers, all urging her to update the novel. These readers found that Qianjian was ignoring them when they asked for updates in the novel's comment section, so they all left messages for the World Snake official account, asking World Snake to contact Qianjian to urge her to update the novel.

But Raven didn't dare to rush the manuscript; what if she upset the big boss?

She was still counting on this big shot to help her pay off her mortgage.

So she didn't come today to urge me to finish the manuscript; she had something else to discuss.

[Raven: Here's the thing, I submitted your work to an event last time, and it did quite well. So I've decided to send physical books to the top ten winners next month. The physical books need to be between 200,000 and 300,000 words. The more words, the higher the price per book. How many words would be appropriate for you?]

Bai Qianqu was delighted. Finally, she could publish a physical book. Although online novels do spread quite quickly, physical books are actually more profitable.

[Qian Jian: Okay then, I've already written 100,000 words. I'll send them to you first, and you can publish the physical book with 300,000 words.]

After saying that, Bai Qianqu sent the 100,000-word document directly.

Raven was overjoyed when it saw the document. It never expected to be able to generate 100,000 words. What a steal!

[Raven: Okay, boss! I've gone to review it! Goodbye, boss!]

After receiving the document, Raven couldn't wait to start reading it. She finished reading the 100,000-word document in less than an hour and smacked her lips with satisfaction.
