Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 156 Qiankun Fist

2024-07-13

"Um, excuse me, Mr. Xia."

Just then, the female receptionist came over in a hurry and bowed deeply to Xia Fan, revealing the deep whiteness between her V-neck.

"According to the feedback from the headquarters system, it is confirmed that you have applied for the highest-level "Supreme Front and Back Fantasy Diamond Membership Card."

"It was our mistake that we arranged you in the public area. We are very sorry..."

"We have prepared a top-notch independent fitness room for you according to your membership level. This is an expert consultant sent by the headquarters for you."

With peach blossom eyes, she explained to Xia Fan gently and timidly.

This is the highest level membership card, which is only issued to top dignitaries and politicians. She has worked here for several years, but has only heard of it and has never received a member of this level.

Could this handsome "trainee" in front of me be the son of some wealthy tycoon, who has come to pursue his dream of entering the entertainment industry?

"Hello Mr. Xia Fan, I am Kusakabe, the body shaping consultant sent by the headquarters. I am at your service at any time."

Following behind the female receptionist was a man with a flat head, not too muscular, a tall stature, a firm expression, and a military air.

"Wait, the Supreme Front and Back Fantasy Diamond Membership Card?! Special Consultant of the headquarters?"

"what about me?"

Fukuroda, who was still pulling hard, heard the conversation between the three and turned around to exclaim in surprise...

"Headquarters has already dispatched an expert consultant to take charge of Mr. Xia's next courses. Consultant Fukuroda doesn't need to worry about that."

The female receptionist's expression turned cold and she said indifferently.

"What? But I'm almost done with the physical examination..."

"Snapped!"

Fukuroda wanted to argue, but because he was distracted, his movements were slightly deformed and there was a crisp explosion from his lower back.

“Ohhh!!”

The barbell fell heavily to the ground, and Fukuda covered his lower back and fell to the ground wailing.

"The weight is too heavy, the movements are not standard, and the waist muscles are usually strained, so I sprained my waist. Bring me the emergency spray and ice packs."

"I'll straighten his disordered joints first. I think his muscles and ligaments are seriously strained. As for the bones, I suggest you take an X-ray to confirm..."

Kusakabe went forward to check it out, then reached out and rubbed Fukuroda's waist, which made a crackling sound.

After a while, Consultant Fukuroda, with a pale face, was carried away on a stretcher.

And Xia Fan, under the curious gaze of Shirakawa Rika, followed Kusakabe Gu to the private gym in a daze.

……

"whee……"

"The highest level of membership privileges, plus the best 'Internal Trainer for Bigwigs' in District 11, should meet the standard of 'doing the best' of the miko, right?"

In the monitoring room of the "Body Shaping Salon", Yui Aiba, dressed in an office lady outfit, was sitting on a swivel office chair.

"Although Section 9 did not give me the right to know about the 'supernatural case', Master Xia Fan is actually an informant who assists the police in handling this special case. How many secrets does he have..."

"Ah, these sculpted muscle lines, smooth and delicate skin, and full muscles..."

"And this masculine, sweet and intoxicating smell... the smell of Lord Xia Fan..."

"I own them all... Lord Xia Fan... ah... take me away..."

She stared at the monitor in front of her, buried her nose in a wet towel and took a deep breath, while her other hand went into the hem of her skirt...

On one of the split screens on the monitor, the scene of Xia Fan's "physical fitness test" with his upper body naked and his muscles bulging was repeatedly replaying.

"It's a pity that there are no cameras in the private gym for members. It would be nice to see him training shirtless every day..."

"Why don't you install one next time?"

However, in the real-time surveillance footage, Xia Fan was no longer seen in the public fitness area.

……

The members' private fitness room is fully equipped with equipment and a comfortable environment.

"Mr. Xia, based on the physical test data left by Consultant Fukuroda, your daily diet and daily training plan have been formulated."

"In terms of diet, protein, fat and carbohydrates are precisely calculated and formulated in combination with your taste and food acquisition environment."

"As for training, your physique is in excellent condition. I suggest you focus on physical strength and athletic performance. The body shaping effect will be achieved naturally in the process..."

Holding the laptop in one hand, Kusakabe explained his plan to Xia Fan in a serious manner.

"You look so professional... You are indeed a top consultant..."

"Speaking of which, the name of the 'Supreme Front and Back Fantasy Color Diamond Membership Card' is so long, it must be very expensive, how much did Uncle Dongye spend on it?"

Xia Fan read this scientific and detailed body shaping plan in amazement.

"As for the specific training content, compared to pure equipment and aerobic items, I suggest you learn a sports skill, which can be functional and entertaining, and can also strengthen physical fitness, and also have an additional talent to show."

Kusakabe pondered for a moment, then continued to give advice calmly.

"Sports skills...sounds good too...any recommendations?"

"I can teach you the regular basketball and football events. But what I am personally good at and what I recommend is a set of Dragon Country martial arts passed down from my family..."

"Dragon Country martial arts? It sounds good, but can I learn it?"

As a Dragon citizen, this set of martial arts aroused Xia Fan's curiosity.

"Don't worry, this set of Dragon Country martial arts is simple and easy to learn, and it takes into account self-defense, talent display, and physical fitness improvement..."

"…Its name is Qiankun Fist."

Kusakabe had a serious expression, his legs were bent inward, his hands were on his waist, and he made a mysterious starting gesture.

"Next, I will demonstrate the Eighteen Moves of Qiankun Fist to you..."

"Qian Kun Step!"

"Qian Kun Flash!"

"Hua Kun Hand!"

"Damn it!"

"Six Styles of Qiankun!"

"Wow... so powerful... is this the Qian Kun Fist?"

Looking at the powerful and unpredictable boxing skills displayed by Kusakabe, Xia Fan's eyes began to shine...

Under the protection of the [Puppet on the Shed], his body was throbbing with eagerness, as if he could perform this set of boxing techniques in a standard way at any time.

……

The next day, at the B Company Building, the Music Department.

"What? The song that producer Xia Fan submitted to you has been officially selected by Miss Yayoi?!"

"This, this is not a good thing."

"However, even those big names failed to meet the standard for the subscription draft. What kind of song did Xia Fan submit..."

In the office, Yamazaki Hiroshi looked surprised.

"Not only was she selected, but by the time I got the news, the recording of the master tape had already been completed."

Agent Xiaoxi, who was sitting opposite him, smiled bitterly.

"Well, let's not talk about the previous matter for now. What we are here to discuss today is the price and royalties of the song "I Once Thought of Ending It All"..."

"Ms. Yayoi and producer Xia Fan have unanimously agreed to implement this distribution price policy, and at the same time give up subsequent royalty income and open up non-commercial use authorization."

Clearing his throat, Agent Konishi handed a document to Hiroshi Yamazaki.

Chapter 157 New Song Release Conference

2024-07-13

"Let me see. The publishing price, the scope of authorization, and the waiver of royalties..."

"……etc?"

After a long reaction time and digesting the information in the document, Yamazaki Hiroshi was petrified for twenty seconds.

"I'm sorry, I've gotten old lately, my hearing is bad, my eyes are blind, and my mind isn't clear, I must have been hallucinating just now."

"No, you read that right."

Manager Konishi shook his head and confirmed with Yamazaki Hiroshi who was taking off his glasses and wiping them vigorously.

"..."

Yamazaki Hiroshi lowered his head and tore the document into pieces without saying a word.

"This is a photocopy. It's useless if you tear it up."

Xiaoxi's agent remained unmoved.

"How is it possible!!! With this kind of publishing price, and giving up royalties, even if Xia Fan is stupid, is Miss Yayoi also stupid?"

"This is Yayoi Tsuki's first single this year, and it may even be her 'retirement work'!"

"You know, the sales figures of her previous songs were at the top of the industry. Do you know how much money they gave up with this decision?

Yamazaki Hiroshi could no longer hold back and jumped onto the sofa, screaming nervously.

"I'm Yayoi Tsuki's manager, so I know better than you. This is at least a loss of 100 million yen."

Xiaoxi lowered her head, drank the cup of tea, and sighed.

As a top singer of the new generation of Bethesda, Yayoi Tsukiko is beautiful, has a sweet voice, is good at singing and dancing, and has access to all kinds of top resources. In addition, Xia Fan's song is of high quality and sincere emotions, so it is entirely possible that she will break the sales record.

"But even if the singer and producer agree to implement this incredible release plan, the company will not agree to it, right?"

This issuance plan is equivalent to directly burning money. It is unheard of and unreasonable behavior in Yamazaki Hiroshi's career...

"The group headquarters has agreed."

"what?"

"Although Yayoi did not reveal the details of the song, there was official interference and manipulation behind the scenes."

"The promotion of the song, its online launch, the holding of the press conference and other matters are all handled by a special agency of the Ministry of Education. Bethesda has been completely excluded and has no say in it."

"The Ministry of Education, are they organizing this? Are they dissatisfied with the royalties earned by Company B, so they are inviting the public to listen to the new songs for free?"

But what Konishi said next made Yamazaki feel that the world was becoming more and more magical, and perhaps even gods and demons and monsters really existed.

"In short, everything has been decided and there is no room for change. I only came to inform you in person after receiving the notice out of personal relationship."

"Look, the trailer has just been released. The new song launch will be held tomorrow, and the song will be released online on the same day..."

“At the launch event, Yayoi will perform the song live across the network.”

Xiaoxi seemed unwilling to talk about this matter any more and handed the phone to Hiroshi Yamazaki.

The news that "I Once Thought About Ending It All" has been released on major media websites.

"Shouldn't the new song be released at least half a month in advance? If it's so hasty, the sales will be..."

"That's right. With this kind of distribution policy, sales volume doesn't matter at all."

Thinking about Yayoi Tsuki's illness and the release policy of this song, Yamazaki Hiroshi, who was already numb with surprise, suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he released it in a hurry.

"Wait, the content of this announcement seems a bit unprecedented..."

Putting his glasses back on and looking at the trailer again and again, Hiroshi Yamazaki took a deep breath.

"After the new song release conference, I think the entire entertainment industry will be even more shocked than I am now."
