Why are they so up and down?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank god, thank god. The scores are all over the place, so even though I was optimistic about Yue Ji, I didn’t bet on Number 1.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Is the score based on the instrument’s mood or something?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Maybe the instrument wasn’t fully charged today, so it’s throwing a little tantrum. How embarrassing for everyone.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most furious of all was Composer No. 1. His face was grim as he squeezed a single word through his teeth, \"Open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff member looked toward his superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing his superior nod, he quickly and politely went to open the Capsule Cabin’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the door opened, Composer No. 1 left without a single look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host gave an awkward laugh. \"Haha, it seems Composer No. 1 has urgent business. He couldn’t even wait for the results to be announced before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s alright. No matter the final results, we, the organizers, will be sure to personally deliver any prizes to each of you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So leaving the venue early won’t affect one’s final results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, let’s welcome the singer for Composer No. 2 to the stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking, the singer chosen by Composer No. 2 was brought onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone seemed to forget the recent incident, immersing themselves in the new song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether they were truly so calm on the inside, only they themselves knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin thought, ’The reason Composer No. 1’s score isn’t as high as the last round is likely a problem with the song itself. I don’t understand it, though. This song is so similar to the one from the previous round, so why didn’t it get a high score? In my opinion, there was nothing wrong with Yue Ji’s singing. The low score must be because of the composition.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singers took the stage one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it was Jiang Qin’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she had chosen a male singer who had become famous quite a while ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never worked with him before. She had only chosen him because she heard a song he recorded on the singer selection app and fell in love with his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the male singer, who had a relatively mature-looking face, was standing on stage with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights were dim, and flames seemed to burn along the edge of the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moonlight splashes the starry river,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long road stretches on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind and smoke fade to nothing,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I call out to the Buddha,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No shore to turn back to,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What use...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...have I for this iron staff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A performance of \"Wukong,\" a song full of shifting tones and infused with operatic stylings, set the entire stage ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The singer on stage was also lost in that intense emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The roared-out notes seemed less like a melody and more like an emotion bursting forth from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the score was even given, netizens were already in a heated discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If this song doesn’t get a high score, there’s no justice in the world.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Scoring instrument, I’m warning you, be smart!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Oh my god, I can’t believe Jiang Qin is collaborating with my idol! I thought his fanbase was pretty small these days.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fellow fan, who gets it? The veteran hasn’t sung in public for ten years, has he?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I can finally hear my man’s voice again! I can die with no regrets!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A dream collaboration! My favorite composer is working with a singer I used to love!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the scoring instrument felt the netizens’ threats, because it produced the highest score of the entire competition:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>93.5!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the stingy instrument, a score over 90 was as rare as a dodo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the composers were stunned, especially the dozen or so who had performed before Jiang Qin. They completely lost their composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FUCK! You Mechanical Clan people said you weren’t trying to build up a god, but this is clearly paving the way for someone!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Son of a bitch, you dog-ass Mechanical Clan! You’re just messing with us, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just you wait! When I get back, I’m getting a lawyer and suing you for damaging my reputation!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using so many of us senior composers as stepping stones, how dare she??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll make you pay for this!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the calm ones couldn’t stay calm anymore. \"I admit, the song is indeed good, and the singer’s performance was also excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the melody and the emotional shifts resonated deeply with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But isn’t this score a bit too unreasonable? You have to understand, it’s not like none of us have composed songs in this style before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the end, their scores were never high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s perfectly reasonable for us to demand an explanation from the organizers, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mechanical Clan members: Heh, reasonable my ass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t even be bothered to argue back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition was almost over, and people were still suspecting them of fixing it. They were at their wit’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the composers were shouting about boycotting them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ensure future collaborations could proceed smoothly, the person in charge of the competition for the Mechanical Clan had no choice but to come out and explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn’t reveal the predicament his clan was in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he only said, \"Before this competition began, we told all of you more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We aren’t looking for pleasant-sounding music, but for sounds that can elicit a reaction from the instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All you esteemed composers’ works are wonderful. On any platform, they would surely garner a huge number of plays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t deny that your songs sound good and the singers are very talented, but that kind of audio isn’t what we need, so naturally, we won’t choose it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in charge said a lot, but the summary was: I’m here to find audio for research, not to listen to songs!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin thought, ’I really can’t blame the organizers for this. They did emphasize this point many times, after all. Besides, as the person at the center of it, I know better than anyone that I have absolutely no connection to the Mechanical Clan. All this talk about building up a god, promoting someone, stepping stones... it’s just ridiculous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Mechanical Clan explained again, many composers were still disgruntled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t bother with the staff anymore and went straight to their personal live streams to throw shade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had known this was what the competition was about, I never would have participated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the country hadn’t approached me and asked me to join this competition, I wouldn’t have even considered coming out of retirement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was the point of inviting us here if you already decided who the champion would be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it. I’ll just chalk this one up to experience. From now on, I’ll just retire peacefully at home. I’m not coming out again, no matter what anyone says.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their words were actually effective. The netizens in the live streams, who had just been suspecting them of being unskilled, were now starting to feel sorry for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There’s really no point in participating in such an unfair competition.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We won’t come next time. This is just bullying.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Right, even if the Mechanical Clan offers a collaboration, we shouldn’t work with them!!]\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","691df0a784db11eb3270035ddba79514be8241af3e098173025ac3a18b358ebf","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-490","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-488",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
