Therefore, Yan Yunzhuo wanted to fast forward to Taylor's part to see what was going on.

As she was lost in thought, Gao Xiaobai's voice pulled her back to reality.

“I found out, Guns N’ Roses’ record sales are really strong,” Gao Xiaobo said, “40th in history.”

Yingzi had no idea what the number meant.

"Is the 40th a lot?" she asked.

“It’s not the 40th in annual sales, it’s the 40th in total historical sales,” Gao Xiaobo said. “It’s close to 1 million copies.”

Yingzi suddenly froze.

“What a coincidence, Taylor Swift is ranked 41st,” Gao Xiaobo added.

Yan Yunzhuo also froze.

……

Behind them, the problem-solving trio finally made some progress.

Their achievement was finding the "call for off-site assistance" button.

Because this question was too absurd, and it wasn't the first question, there was no chance of making a mistake. To be on the safe side, we had to use outside help.

"What will happen if I press this button?" Jiang Xinhai asked. "Will Chen...JX appear?"

Qin Yun Chu shook her head.

Nobody knows what will happen if this button is pressed.

Xu Xiangxiao reached out and pressed the button directly.

“There’s no point in worrying so much; we should just take action,” she said.

The screen changed the instant she pressed the button.

The screen changed to display the words "Axl, in a call".

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

He Ling, Yingzi, and the others behind them were also drawn over.

"What's wrong?" He Ling asked. "Did you call for outside assistance?"

Jiang Xinhai pursed his lips and nodded.

The camera took the opportunity to film everyone's expressions, and then showed the footage to the screen.

After five or six beeps, the call was finally connected.

A deafening sound rang in everyone's ears:

"JX! Do you know who called me? It's JX! He called! He called me! Mom, JX is coming back!"

On the phone, another person yelled, "Stop arguing! Put it on speakerphone, you idiot! I can't hear what JX is saying!"

Chapter 158 Peeling a Coconut

The person on the other end was speaking American English.

To someone who doesn't understand English, it sounds like a jumbled, incoherent roar.

Just hearing the commotion on the other end, everyone could imagine how much chaos this call had caused.

Fortunately, Qin Yunchu and the others all spoke English.

"Everyone! Come here!" the raspy male voice shouted. "JX called us!"

"Everyone, die!" another man's voice said. "I told you to put it on speakerphone!"

After a while, the other end quieted down. Qin Yun Chu tried to calm herself down and said in fluent English:

"Hello?"

“It’s a woman,” the voice on the other end of the phone said as soon as she finished speaking.

“Uh, well, I’m not JX,” Qin Yunchu said. “I’m calling you from Music Archives.”

Upon hearing "music archives," the person on the other end seemed to understand what she meant, and their voice immediately lowered.

“I see. Hello, hello. My name is Exor, this is Slychee, and behind him are Frank, Duff, Giggling, and who knows what else? Anyway, everyone's here,” the man said. “What can I do for you, JX?”

Gao Xiaobai secretly stuck out his tongue.

He whispered to He Ling beside him, "Axel is the lead singer of Guns N' Roses. Don't let his crazy appearance fool you, his vocal range is unmatched."

"Really?" He Ling felt that this person had a slightly hoarse voice.

Cui Dayou suddenly said, "His vocal range is world-class, and his timbre is very consistent. It's just that his singing method is a bit unscientific. He relies on his natural talent."

He turned to look at Yingzi: "I'm not particularly professional in terms of singing skills, so I need Teacher Yingzi to give me some pointers."

Yingzi crossed her arms and took two steps back: "Never heard of it."

Qin Yunchu was explaining the cause and effect of the matter to Exor Ross:

"Here's the thing, I need to answer questions in JX's private music library to unlock songs..."

After she explained why she had called, there was a moment of silence on the other end.

Then, as if a floodgate had been opened, ten thousand people started talking at the same time, creating a noisy uproar.

"JX is definitely on our side. Isn't he our band's favorite?"

"Didn't we win the fight outright? Did we need JX's help?"

"Wait, was JX there at the time?"

"When did we fight? How come I don't know about it?"

"..."

Qin Yun Chu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Finally, it was Slytherin's voice that calmed everyone's dispute; he said loudly:

"Quiet down, quiet down, listen to me."

After everyone's voices subsided, Slysh began to speak:

"You were all drunk at the time, and I was the only one sober. You have absolutely no memory of it, so only I am qualified to answer this question, OK?"

Everyone remained silent, and Qin Yun Chu didn't dare to utter a sound.

Slychee said slowly, "They were all drunk at the time. It was Kirkburn of Nirvana who provoked them first. Exor rushed up and tried to knock Kirkburn down, but he was knocked down in one go."

"Then, before anyone else could even make a move, they collapsed to the ground. They had been drinking more than ten bottles of whiskey backstage and were already weak in the knees, so suddenly I was the only one left standing on the stage."

After he finished speaking, the band members behind him seemed angry but dared not say anything.

Slysh continued, "I rushed forward and attacked with both hands. Soon, the people of Nirvana were beaten and ran away in terror. I defeated Nirvana by taking on three of them."

"Nonsense!" someone immediately retorted. "We had to carry you back home! You lay there for three days before you regained consciousness!"

Slychee argued, "I went out for a drink later because I was in a good mood... well, I probably did get punched a couple of times."

As Qin Yun listened, she increasingly realized how correct Chen Ya's initial prompt on the screen, "You can get one chance for off-site assistance for each question, but you are not guaranteed to get the correct answer," truly was.

She's starting to think that the accuracy of off-field assistance might be about the same as guessing randomly.

“Alright, alright, I can’t listen to this anymore, I’ll speak for you,” a deep male voice interrupted, speaking slowly, “I’m the band’s manager, my name is Jeff. I was there, so I’ll answer this question.”

Jeff continued, "Here's the thing: our band and Nirvana were both bands that JX discovered in bars."

"Due to differences in musical philosophy, the young men had some friction with each other. They had been displeased with each other for a long time from the beginning. At that awards ceremony, the two bands happened to be on the same stage, which provided an opportunity for their conflict to break out..."

"Most of them had been drinking—only Sleish didn't, that's true—they bumped into Nirvana outside the awards ceremony, got into an argument, and it escalated into a shoving match."

"Because Nirvana's side is much tougher, after a few pushes, all of us on our side fell to the ground. Slychee crashed into the trailer next to us and fell unconscious on the spot. That's when JX arrived."

JX said he knows kung fu and is willing to fight two people at once. He is willing to fight anyone who wants to fight.

“Nirvana respected him greatly and left without making a move. That was the end of it. There was no actual fight.”

After listening, Qin Yun Chu remained silent for a while.

"So, JX was fighting two against one?"

Jeff said, "No, you have to understand, we were already at a huge disadvantage at that time. His coming out at that moment was actually a way of siding with us. At least that's what I think."

"All right……"

Although Qin Yun Chu didn't understand how 7 people against 3 people could have the nerve to say the word "absolute disadvantage".

Gao Xiaobo asked curiously, "You're saying that both of your bands were formed by JX?"

“Yes, to be precise, he was the one who promoted him,” Jeff said. “You know, back then he led a group of bands in a British invasion, and our American music scene was…”

"Wait, wait," Gao Xiaobo interrupted him, "You mean the British invasion?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

“I’ve heard this term many times,” Gao Xiaobo said, “but I’ve never really understood what it meant.”

"Well, actually, this was all orchestrated by JX, and you guys didn't even know?" Jeff said from the other end.

A look of shock appeared on Gao Xiaobai's face.

"Was the British Invasion launched by JX?"

Jeff said, "Yeah, I thought the whole world knew."

Gao Xiaobai asked anxiously, "What exactly happened? Please tell me."

Jeff said, "It was late 2016 when a mysterious monster from East Asia landed in Europe and began frantically forming a band, like an army preparing for war."

"Led Zeppelin, Queen, Oasis, AC/DC, The King of Crimson... Overnight, British rock music rose from the ground and began to dominate the charts."

"And behind these bands is a crazy, mysterious songwriter—JX."

Gao Xiaobai gasped, "No way..."

Jeff said, "What do you mean 'not'? You have no idea what the fear was like in the American music scene back then. He brought so many bands to America and toured every continent. The whole of America went crazy! Nobody could understand what he was thinking!"

Gao Xiaobo then asked, "Then how... how come Guns N' Roses and Nirvana were also formed by JX?"

Jeff smiled and said, "Back then, JX landed in the United States, intending to dominate the American music charts. The entire American music industry was on high alert, but he disappeared almost as soon as he got off the plane."

"He spread the word that he would be looking for truly creative young people in bars across the United States to form some truly interesting bands."

"At the time, although the American music scene said that he was just putting on a show, behind the scenes, many bars were packed. Overnight, 10,000 new bands appeared across the United States, just waiting for JX to patronize them."

"Guns N' Roses and Nirvana were born during this process, as were many other bands..."

Of those present, only Qin Yunchu, Gao Xiaobai, and Wang Feng were relatively good at English, and they exchanged several shocked glances.

The others were completely bewildered by the long passages of English and wondered what was wrong with Gao Xiaobai and the others.

Qin Yunchu wanted to ask something more, but suddenly noticed that a small time display in the upper right corner of the screen had turned red.

"There are 30 seconds left before the off-site consultation time ends," Qin Yun Chu said, quickening her pace. "Could you please elaborate? Who exactly did JX help?"

“Of course he’s helping us,” Xorso’s voice rang out. “We’re his favorite band in all of America! He spent $150 million to make a music video for us…”

"Yeah, to make Slytherin look cool, he built a little chapel in the desert, and then he just stood there posing with an unplugged guitar..."

An enraged Slychee shouted, "Get out! You're just jealous!"

Qin Yun Chu looked at the numbers gradually decreasing in the upper right corner and asked anxiously, "Are you sure?"

“Of course I’m sure. If you don’t believe me, go ask Nirvana, they’ll say the same thing,” Jeff said. “How’s JX? Is he here?”

The other band members couldn't hold back any longer and joined in, saying:

Is JX here? Could you ask him to come out and say something?

"JX is my idol!"

"Please pass on a message to JX: His loyal Guns N' Roses pay him the highest respect!"

Qin Yunchu gave a bitter smile.

Finally, Jeff's voice broke through the chaos and said:

“Tell JX we’re about to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and if he’s here, the guys want him to present the award!”
