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

"Uh, Bibo Ran?"

Boruto: First of all, I didn't offend any of you.

"Hahaha, Boruto is so pitiful, he's being whipped repeatedly."

The original segment was supposed to be for the judges to evaluate the singers, but Ying ended up evaluating the music and was then surrounded by a group of people praising her.

The atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, but something felt a little off.

Finally, the judges' discussion returned to Ying.

"Although this song is very good, you, as the singer, also deserve a lot of credit. If it weren't for your outstanding performance, this song wouldn't have been so moving."

"Yes, only when the right singer sings the right song can the song's greatest value be brought out. Qu Yin probably thinks so too, which is why he chose you. It's clear that he highly recognizes your abilities."

"Your voice is very penetrating, making it perfect for singing such moving songs. However, you need to practice your emotional expression more. It's not that it's bad, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. We hope you can take it a step further and strive to sing even more powerful and moving works in the future."

P.S.: I'm so tired (wiping sweat)

Chapter 127: Qu Yin Again!

The judges objectively expressed their opinions, and the subsequent scoring process went very smoothly without any surprises. Ying received an average score of 95, the highest of the entire event!

As the music began, all the singers came to the stage, and amidst everyone's envious gazes, Ying accepted the trophy symbolizing the highest honor for a new singer.

When she held the trophy and was surrounded by flashing lights, it felt surreal.

Did I really win? And even take the championship?

Ying was completely bewildered by the subsequent series of championship procedures, and completed them almost entirely with the guidance of the staff.

"We won! Qianqu, we won!" Although Bronya had expected it, she was still as excited as a child when everything was settled.

Entropy hasn't won the new singer competition for many years.

"Yes, it was indeed very good." Bai Qianqu nodded slightly. He had witnessed Ying's performance, which was arguably the best performance in history. During a live competition, a singer's state of mind is the most important factor, and an exceptional performance can have unexpected effects.

Yae Sakura sighed beside her; she could already imagine how the guys at the company would react when they found out the result.

Losing to Anti-Entropy was already infuriating for them, but the worst part was that Qu Yin was involved again this time.

It has a somewhat fatalistic feel to it.

However, Yae Sakura didn't care what those guys thought. As long as Eden was there, Chasing Fire wouldn't be a big problem.

The day after the competition ended, thanks to Bronya's efforts, the official version of "Keep Walking in the Rain" was released and immediately entered the new song charts, attracting a lot of attention from the audience.

"Holy crap, so fast? The match just ended, and the official version is already out?"

"Awesome! Just download it and you're good to go!"

"This song is the winning song of the new singer competition? I was blown away after listening to it. I thought it was the song for the singing competition!"

"This year's new singer competition is quite good. Several good new songs have emerged, unlike in the past when most of them were covers."

"After all, it was about whether or not they could become debut singers, so no one dared to hold back! Everyone brought out their best skills."

"Walking in the Rain" is indeed very good! But I'm more interested in these songs below. What the heck is "Spring Breeze Blows Across the Ground"? Hahaha! It's such a catchy song, I'm going to download it and listen to it slowly!"

"You know what? This is actually a rap song! We've never had this kind of song in the finals of the new singer competition before. Could it be that they're all influenced by Teacher Qu Yin?"

"Now that you mention it, it might actually be true! Whatever, it sounds fun, I'm downloading it!"

"Don't you guys listen to Kun Ge's 'Dawn'?"

"Dawn is indeed good, but I'd rather listen to catchy, addictive songs."

"+1"

Thus, fueled by the popularity of the Newcomer Singer Competition, "Keep Walking in the Rain" took a commanding lead and secured first place. "Spring Breeze Blows Across the Land" followed closely behind in second place. The third place went to a new song released by a relatively well-known A-level singer, which surprisingly ignored the popularity of the Newcomer Singer Competition and firmly held onto the third-place position.

Therefore, Kun Ge's "Dawn" had to sheepishly sit in fourth place, which was quite unexpected.

When the top management of Zhuhuo saw this result, they were so angry that their mouths twisted in disbelief.

Losing to the winner of the competition is one thing, but losing to that catchy, brainwashing song from before is another.

When did Zhu Huo become so down on his luck?!

They couldn't contain themselves any longer when they saw the number one song.

"Keep Walking in the Rain", sung by Ying; lyrics by Qu Yin; music by Qu Yin.

"It's Qu Yin again!!!!!!!!!"

A voice filled with deep resentment rose into the air and resounded throughout the sky.

Meanwhile, in Zhu Huo's CEO office, Mei, wearing headphones, was listening to "Keep Walking in the Rain" with her eyes slightly narrowed, looking somewhat engrossed.

"It's a really good song. We didn't lose unjustly this time."

Yae Sakura was both amused and exasperated: "It sounds nice, but the fact that we lost has caused a huge reaction within the company. After all, we've never lost to the same person so many times before. The overall morale of the company is extremely low right now, which is not a good thing."

"Although we have Eden here and are not afraid of anything, we should still consider everyone's feelings a little. So, can we be a little more serious about our new song next month?"

After hearing Yae Sakura's words, Mei showed a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm—you're right. Let me think about it. Who should we put on next month?"

After thinking for a moment, Mei suddenly smiled.

"It seems like Thunder Chrysanthemum is coming back, right?"

“Yes, Ms. Raiden Kiku’s commercial performances in Europe have finished and she’s wrapping things up. She’s expected to be back next week.” Yae Sakura nodded, then suddenly her eyes widened. “You mean you want her to release a song next month?”

"That's right, after all, when Ju makes a move, I'm invincible. She's the star singer in our company." Mei excitedly crossed her arms.

Yae Sakura couldn't help but roll her eyes: "But have you forgotten? Kiku only sings Eden's songs, she doesn't like any other songs."

"Ah? It seems so," Mei scratched her head. "Then what should we do? Should we ask Eden to write another one?"

Yae Sakura was speechless. Eden's song isn't something you can just write on a whim; it's not like it's made of cabbage.

"How about Sakura debuts as a singer? With her cute face, she should be very popular if she debuts, right?" Mei winked at Yae Sakura and said seriously.

"What? No way!" Yae Sakura's face flushed red, and she waved her hands repeatedly. "I can't! Being an idol is really not an option!"

Mei reached out and touched Yae Sakura's ear with great interest, which startled Yae Sakura into letting out a whistle.

"嘤~~~"

"Hahaha! Sakura, you're so cute!" Mei laughed heartily. "Don't worry, I was just kidding. Handel has another hidden gem of a song to release next month. I've seen it, and it's of extremely high quality. It could even compete in the War of the Gods. It's more than enough for a regular release month."

Hearing Mei's words, Yae Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the president with great helplessness.

Mei is always able to plan things in advance, but sometimes her mischievous girlish heart gets the better of her and she will tease others for no reason.

Because Yae Sakura is very rigid and serious, she is often teased by Mei. Sometimes when she is frightened, she will make a "whimpering" sound, which always makes Mei laugh.

Chapter 128 Wrong Account

While Mei was flirting with Yae Sakura, at the headquarters of Tencent Games...

Old Ma received the news the moment Anti-Entropy won the Newcomer Singer Competition.

"Anti-Entropy has indeed stood up!" Old Ma laughed heartily. "It seems that choosing Anti-Entropy to customize the theme song for our game was the right decision!"

"With their popularity, our game definitely won't be a flop like Penguin Run," Old Ma's subordinate said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Old Ma's face instantly darkened, and he was furious at the thought of what had happened before.

The Penguin Run game he was in charge of previously performed poorly. It was not only crushed by the similar game Hoomu Run, but also had its popularity stolen by a random indie game called Angry Birds, which almost became a nightmare in Lao Ma's career.

Moreover, recently, rumors have circulated online that "Penguin Run" plagiarized the source code of "Houmu Run," causing Old Ma (Pony Ma) a lot of trouble, and he urgently needs to produce results to prove himself.

Counter-Strike Online is a 3D shooting game that he personally led his team to work day and night for three years to create. He originally planned to unveil it at next year's game carnival to wow the audience, but the current situation no longer allows him to keep this trump card hidden.

Show your cards, stop pretending!

We, the penguins, have taken the lead in entering the 3D gaming industry!

However, it must be said that Old Ma's move successfully attracted the attention of many players. After all, for players in this world, 3D games are still just a concept and far from being widely popular.

The vivid game descriptions in Bai Qianqu's novel "The King's Avatar" played a significant role in its popularity.

That's a massive 3D online game; just reading the descriptions is enough to deeply impress the reader.

Now that Tencent has made a high-profile announcement that their new game is also 3D, players are already excited, and there are discussions about Counter-Strike Online in almost every online group.

Have you heard? Tencent's latest game, Counter-Strike Online!

[I'd heard it before! Tencent officially calls it their first large-scale 3D multiplayer shooting game! They even released a teaser trailer, which got me really excited; I can't wait to play it!]

Based on the initial promotional video, Counter-Strike Online features two teams that engage in multiple rounds of combat on a single map, with the team securing the most wins ultimately emerging victorious.

I get it. It's just like playing basketball, two teams competing against each other.

[Haha, that sounds really interesting! And the guns and items shown in the PV are so cool! The recoil and sound effects are completely revolutionary for shooting games; previous games never had recoil.]

[A beta tester here! What I'm most interested in is the stun gun; the "Ahhhh!" sound after being electrocuted is just so exhilarating, haha.]

[Penguin has really opened the door to a new world of games. I wonder if other game developers will follow suit. It'll be too late if all games are 3D by then.]

Not only were there discussions like this in the group chat, but several of these topics even made it to the top of the trending list on Weike.

#Tencent's Latest 3D Shooter Game#

#The Dawn of the 3D Game Era#

#A major revolution in the gaming industry#

These headlines received a lot of clicks, and if it weren't for the hype surrounding the new singer competition, they would likely have topped the headlines.

Old Ma's expression softened slightly when he saw the data.

"Hmph! Once our game goes into open beta at the end of the year, who will dare say that I, Old Ma, am incompetent!"

He glanced at his subordinates and said irritably, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow up with Anti-Entropy, see how their game theme song is coming along!"

The subordinate nodded and was about to leave when Old Ma reached out and called him back.

"Wait, ask Anti-Entropy if you can arrange to meet Qu Yin."

The subordinate hesitated before saying, "Minister, Qu Yin never seems to have any intention of showing herself—"

"Ask first," Old Ma waved his hand impatiently. "If we can get Qu Yin to come out, we can secretly leak the news to the paparazzi. With their keen sense of smell, they'll definitely come over. Maybe they can even take pictures of Qu Yin. Then we can use the paparazzi to promote ourselves. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

The subordinate's eyes widened: "This...this isn't quite right, is it?"
