After I V-brother Zheng 50

then……

It must be said that those masterpieces truly deserve the highest praise.

Both the quality of the work itself and Eden's expressive power are truly exceptional.

She gives people the feeling that "even if she just sings a few lines of a popular song, the lingering sound can stay for three days."

That's quite exaggerated.

but……

"If many people's works are 'not up to standard,' then Eden's works are the complete opposite, 'not up to standard.'"

Qin Yu knew that Eden loved classical music and opera, and that when he first met Alicia as a child, the place where they met was a theater.

So, several years ago, when Eden was just a newcomer, she was quite stubborn, even though her agency wanted her to sing more profitable pop music.

Then, during a charity performance, he forcefully won over everyone with his own strength and opened up a bright future.

Honestly, this level of difficulty...

"It's like writing a book with the old-fashioned traditional martial arts theme and selling N times more copies than the Harry Potter series in my fast-paced online literature circle."

All I can say is: Eden is awesome!

Because of her work, even someone like Qin Yu, who prides himself on being able to "chug down the finest tea like it's just plain water," is willing to spend time getting to know her.

but……

"Eden, have you read the comments from those critics in the *Global Times*?"

I've heard a little about it.

Inside the floating lounge of the luxury cruise ship, Qin Yu and the others were already seated on the soft sofas.

At this moment, Alicia and Eden were sitting together, on Qin Yu's right, not far from each other, making it easy for them to talk.

The others sat further away, but they all kept their attention on this side.

It was precisely under these circumstances that...

"Everyone here knows that I am a time traveler."

Qin Yu chuckled and said, "Therefore, I won't say much about my limited personal feelings, because it would be too arrogant to talk about these things in front of professionals (Eden)."

indeed.

Just as before, given his level of knowledge, he was completely unable to interfere with the research project led by Mebius, Qin Yu was not so presumptuous as to think he could give Eden pointers now.

However, the unique perspective of a time traveler can provide these professionals with many unexpected reference values.

During this period, Mebius was often inspired by Qin Yu's ingenious ideas, which broadened his thinking.

Even if she is a genius, a prodigy born with innate knowledge, the world she can 'see' is only the current Earth.

Qin Yu, however, was different.

Although he was just a novice transmigrator from the Celestial Empire, he had already seen far more 'scenery' than Mebius and others.

Well, to be precise, it should be: the things the two have come into contact with have very little overlap.

therefore……

"Let me just briefly talk about a trend that has emerged in another world... which is my homeland."

Qin Yu slowed his speech and patiently explained, "I won't go into the details, but in short, it's because with the increasing pressure of life in the current environment, many ordinary people prefer to engage with products that are easy to understand rather than those obscure and difficult works of art."

"Because they are really too tired."

He stated bluntly, "In my homeland, there has not been a disaster like the 'Honkai' that could destroy civilization."

"But even if it's just the work pressure from the societal level... Imagine a construction worker, who is everywhere, toiling in the wind and sun all day on the construction site. He is physically and mentally exhausted and has limited knowledge. What would he think when he gets home?"

"If one side is a comedy show that can make people laugh out loud, and the other side is a glamorous opera performance whose true meaning is hard to understand, which side do you think he would choose?"

Qin Yu had already discovered it long ago.

In this era... the pre-civilization era of the collapsed world, there was no trend of 'short video impact'.

Similarly...

"Let me give you another example."

Qin Yu raised his right hand and held up his index finger. "For a child who is currently in school, facing a heavy academic workload, apart from a very few promising talents who have a strong interest in the arts, would other young children rather listen to a piece of classical music or watch an episode of an animated movie that doesn't require much brainpower for their age group?"

Eden did not respond.

She was waiting for Qin Yu's next words.

The latter shrugged and said, "At least personally, I would prefer to choose a sleep-inducing ASMR that has absolutely no meaning."

"These are just my humble opinions as a layman."

Qin Yu's meaning was very simple!

Even if it's just a matter of high life pressure, people are more willing to choose things that are easier and allow them to relax.

So, what should we do under the current 'survival pressure' that is even more difficult to deal with than the pressure of life?

In Qin Yu's memory, the neighboring country of a certain thieving nation often used movies that reflected and satirized social phenomena, adding endings that could never occur in reality, to create an alternative sense of satisfaction, thereby relieving the pressure that unscrupulous chaebols brought to the people.

He knew that if Eden were simply in it for the money, she wouldn't have persisted in her career in the entertainment and arts field until now.

In recent years, many big stars and well-known agencies have disappeared from the public eye.

Many critics say that entertainment will eventually die. In the future, people will have to give up all unnecessary entertainment in order to survive.

That makes a lot of sense.

Because those critics also said that Eden's ability to persist to this day by itself is nothing short of a miracle.

These people aren't just making baseless accusations; they're simply stating a fact.

So……

"Mr. Qin, you've made a mistake."

Eden finally spoke.

Then I heard her say in a friendly tone, "In the field of entertainment and art, at least in my personal opinion, there is no such thing as an 'outsider'."

"Because their very existence is meant to allow more people to come into contact with them and appreciate them."

"We are all spectators to each other; there is no distinction of superiority or inferiority."

"In fact, Mr. Qin's attitude likely reflects the considerations of the vast majority of people."

She gave that helpless, bitter smile again. "This era... is indeed as you said, Mr. Qin, many people are under too much pressure."

"At this point, instead of forcing them to appreciate some groundbreaking masterpiece, it would be better to focus on enabling them to find even the slightest bit of relaxation through the works of us creators."

At this point...

"Unfortunately, after so many years, I'm not good at doing these things on my own."

Upon hearing this…

"Then, how about we try to spread my (home Earth) works?"

Qin Yu pointed to himself and revealed his true purpose...

The first step!

Chapter Forty-Four: To Our Immortality

Having read many historical texts on his home planet Earth and deeply understanding the principle of "learning from history," Qin Yu has always placed great importance on the concept of "ideological trends."

Because the collapse of many civilizations began with the collapse of 'faith', a consequence of changing ideologies.

Therefore, Eden's addition is absolutely crucial for the future development of our team.

However, if you state some things too bluntly, it can easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to set an example first, and then let actions and facts speak for themselves.

In short, at this stage...

"Instead of focusing excessively on those who have been in high positions for a long time, who are arrogant and think they still have a way out, or who even have the idea of ​​'why don't they eat cake', we should focus more on the much larger number of people at the grassroots level."

"Especially the younger generation, and the older generation who have truly contributed in the past but have not received the rewards they deserve."

The hope for civilization, and the possibility of its further development, lies in 'inheritance'.

With this foundation, one can then attempt to 'surpass' it.

Because human lifespan has a limit.

in this case……

"We must not only rekindle hope in the older generation who are gradually losing hope at the grassroots level, but also strengthen the hope of the younger generation who symbolize the future."

"Now, let's throw out some 'seeds' first, and when the time is right, we can see them take root, sprout, and grow strong."

This was Qin Yu's plan.

In other words, the plagiarism tactics were just the prelude.

With Eden joining the group, regardless of how the situation will evolve in the future, at least in the near term...

"I understand."

Inside the seaside reception room, after pondering for a long time, Eden finally nodded to Qin Yu.

"My 'starlight' that once belonged on the stage can no longer dispel the gloom in people's eyes."

"It can't even shine in people's eyes..."

She said earnestly, "Since that's the case, I'll try a different approach and persevere for a while longer."

"Anyway, no matter how bad the future gets, it can't be worse than the current situation (the original trajectory)."

At this point...

"Then I'll leave this to you, Eden."

Qin Yu stood up from the sofa. "You can contact me anytime if you need anything, and also..."

He pointed to the oath bracelet on his right wrist, "I guess you could call this one of my 'employee perks'."
