Aren’t there still four soothing sessions with B-level females?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Jiang is off work. The soothing sessions after her are useless and just annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another male pursed his lips. \"I’d advise you to leave, too. There’s nothing worth staying for.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re all colleagues, they can’t be that bad, can they?\" Wei Chen hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We get it. You’re fond of them because you’re fond of her. We thought the same thing yesterday, but... TSK TSK, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of those two females who arrived late, did a half-assed job, and looked at them like they were trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They figured it was better to just let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we want to support Miss Jiang Qing, we can go home and tip the songs she releases on the Star Network.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can also buy tickets for her movies. In short, there are many ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just ten short minutes, at least a million people had left the bar, and more were still trickling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Mia, who had just come out to perform the soothing, was once again fashionably late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\" Yun Xie also prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wei Chen was unwilling to give up. \"Brother Xie, do you remember we came here for a soothing session?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had come specifically for the B-level females, so how could they leave right as one was taking the stage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Yun Xie just gave him a cool glance. \"That was you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had come for Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hadn’t been for that one stunning glimpse of her, he wouldn’t have bothered coming to a place like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Yun Xie really had no intention of staying, Wei Chen could only follow him with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia couldn’t care less that the patrons were leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still went through the motions perfunctorily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight was so popular anyway; she didn’t have to put in any effort to get her sentence reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Yiqin had the same idea, so she just went on stage with a smile and released her spiritual power for three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t even enter a state of soothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly disappointed the males who had specifically entered the bar at eight o’clock for the soothing sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jamie was just a B-level male who worked a bottom-tier manual labor job on the Main Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, his salary wasn’t very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, his Riot Value had risen considerably. At night, his headaches were so bad they caused insomnia, which left him feeling drained and unfocused at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make himself feel a little better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had splurged on a trip to the bar today, just hoping to get soothed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured that even if it didn’t lower his Riot Value, it might at least alleviate the pain and let him get a good night’s sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried about picking a bad bar, he had even looked up guides online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After comparing prices and the soothing masters’ levels, he had chosen to come to Moonlight right at eight o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here specifically for these four soothing sessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, one was late and left early, and the other was even worse—she just released her spiritual power without actually performing any soothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Isn’t this fraud?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, he was now at the bar’s front desk, demanding a refund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I paid a 1,999 Star Coin entrance fee specifically for the soothing, but your soothing masters aren’t even doing their jobs properly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was furious, but he didn’t dare curse at the females.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was a fact that those two soothing masters were not doing their jobs properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care, you have to refund my entrance fee! I didn’t get soothed at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, please calm down. We’ll process a refund for you right away.\" The front desk clerk’s attitude was very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This helped to placate the other angry patrons considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, since females were involved, they didn’t dare make too big of a scene. Getting their entrance fee back was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For low-tier males like them, a single trip to the bar was truly a huge splurge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn’t been pushed to their limits, who would be willing to part with that many Star Coins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had spent the Star Coins but received none of the benefits. Who would be happy about that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jamie pursed his lips. ’You really do get what you pay for.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had chosen Moonlight because, during its grand opening period, the entrance fee was several hundred Star Coins cheaper than other bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star Network said the first session was a C-level female’s soothing and that the place would be basically full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he had deliberately come at eight o’clock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came specifically for the B-level females.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just went to show, trying to save a buck wasn’t worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, people came to ask for refunds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yongkang’s expression was as dark as a sky full of storm clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of today’s entrance fees had been refunded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, during Jiang Qin’s session, the patrons had gotten a scare. Then, Mia and Ping Yiqin had just gone through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrons who entered after eight o’clock should have been pure profit for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, they were forced to issue refunds for such a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Are these two females I hired spies sent by a rival business?’ he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it struck ten o’clock at night, the entire bar emptied out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, other establishments still had plenty of customers chatting and drinking Inhibitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No bar had ever closed this early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yongkang suppressed his anger and told the bar staff, \"Tidy up, let the robots handle the cleaning. You can all clock out and go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took two assistants with him to the dormitories in the back where the two females lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knocked on each of their doors and told them to gather in the back hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia, having been disturbed, looked thoroughly annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ping Yiqin was also clearly displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhu Yongkang had reached his limit. Ignoring their expressions, he said directly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting tomorrow, I will be calculating the revenue from before eight o’clock and after eight o’clock separately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revenue after eight o’clock will be split evenly between you two as your performance results. The revenue before eight o’clock will be credited entirely to Jiang Qin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re willing to accept that, you can continue working at Moonlight. If not, I’ll go to the Interstellar Prison and apply to have my soothing masters replaced.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On what grounds?\" Mia demanded. \"Why should she get to monopolize all the revenue from the first half?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bar’s revenue has always been divided fairly among all the soothing masters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How do you know those customers didn’t come for us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yongkang said coolly, \"Fine. We’ll count the number of patrons at eight o’clock sharp. Any customers who stay from the first half will also be counted toward your revenue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Kang, isn’t this a bit unreasonable?\" Ping Yiqin asked in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s unreasonable about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no rule like this. This isn’t the first time I’ve served a sentence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yongkang sneered. \"You’re right, there isn’t. But have you not seen the customer retention rate for the past two days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially today. After eight o’clock, not only did all the customers leave, but even the ones who came later demanded refunds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who is going to bear this loss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bar doesn’t just make a profit from entrance fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s also the sale of Inhibitors and other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the customers aren’t willing to stay, who are we supposed to sell all these alcohol-flavored Inhibitors to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At other bars, after being soothed, customers stay to chat and laugh with their friends, order some Inhibitors, and have fun late into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at our Moonlight, all the customers are gone by ten. Does that seem right to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","b37456403bc3253335016f5a3ec883e36bf7c5246429aa3fdd13ed3852b27101","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-60","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-59",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
