Her pointed ears were a distinct characteristic that set her apart from the Beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugh Dean, from the Mechanical Clan, was also easy to identify by his unique mechanical hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Hong was an old acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trant was a male from the Empire with Mermaid Genes, a superstar whose fame was only slightly less than Yue Ji’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he and Yue Ji were not with the same agency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Rou, a singer from Four Seas Entertainment, was a veteran diva. She had a gentle appearance and a warm, homey aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s often said that the more people there are, the more drama there is, but for now, everyone seemed quite amicable on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply came to say hello to Jiang Qin before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Hong didn’t really want to leave, but considering the show had just ended and Miss Jiang Qin must be exhausted, he couldn’t bear to keep her from her rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, their interaction was just like everyone else’s, making it seem as if they weren’t well acquainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At five in the morning, the six of them gathered in the recording studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering how tired everyone was last night, and with so many people, Jiang Qin hadn’t asked them to do a voice test then, deliberately scheduling it for the early morning instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you all for coming. Because this theme requires a group performance, our schedule is extremely tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you can all bear with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yina smiled gently. \"Please, arrange things however you need to, Miss Jiang. We can handle it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had no objections either. Situations like this were actually quite common for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were busy, they often had no time to sleep while rushing between gigs. At least this time they’d gotten some rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, only Miss Jiang Qin’s team got to rest. The other singers and composers hadn’t rested at all after the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were probably still in their recording studios right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, let’s start with a voice test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before the voice test, there’s something I need to mention. With a band theme, it’s very likely that not all of you will get a chance to sing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to hear how well your voices blend. If they don’t, I might have to choose only one or two of you as lead vocalists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another question: in three days, do you think you can learn to play an ancient musical instrument from scratch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My standards aren’t too high. You just need to be able to play this one song flawlessly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As long as they practice hard,’ Jiang Qin thought, ’even if they just memorize the sequence of finger positions by rote, it should be possible, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But everyone is different.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So she couldn’t be sure if everyone could manage with such a brute-force method.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the five singers dared to make any promises, only managing to say, \"I’ll do my best...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hugh Dean said, \"I’ll do my best to cooperate and meet your requirements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Hong declared, \"I can practice without sleeping!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trant: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he had been assigned to Jiang Qin from the start, he’d probably be kicking up a fuss right now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that he knew this female truly had skills, he expressed that he would try his best, even if he was reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It wasn’t that he was unwilling to learn an instrument.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was just unhappy about her comment that some of them might not get a chance to sing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In his opinion, out of the five of them, besides himself—a Mermaid Beastman—only the one from the Elf Clan could compete with him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shouldn’t she just pick him and her as the lead singers right away?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A perfect male-female pairing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, no one had any objections, least of all Chu Rou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was a veteran diva, her results from the few times she’d participated in the show before had been far from ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fan count plummeted after every appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones left were some of her older, long-time fans who were no longer active in fan culture and had no time to boost her metrics online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, she was in a state of semi-retirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it couldn’t be helped; Four Seas Entertainment had very few viable singers to field these days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the company’s executives had given up on the idea of her making a comeback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they expected to lose anyway, there was no point in sacrificing one of their currently popular singers. They just sent Chu Rou, who was used to taking the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been criticized many times before; one more wouldn’t make a difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the current Chu Rou didn’t have much market value left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her contract was expiring soon anyway, so in the eyes of Four Seas Entertainment, this was just a way to make use of a disposable asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five singers entered the recording studio one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin was actually already very familiar with Cang Hong’s voice, but she still had him go through the process for form’s sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I have a general idea now. I’ll have the sheet music for you in about an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, familiarize yourselves with these instruments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin took a drum kit, a guitar, a bass, a keyboard, and a saxophone out of her Space Button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, see if you can get the hang of them. If you can, I’ll go write the score. If not, I’ll make some adjustments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five singers had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jiang Qin began teaching each of them the basics, having them practice \"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star\" to get a feel for the instruments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, on the other hand, went back to her room to redeem the song she had chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spent the rest of the time lost in thought, letting the minutes pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to wait an hour before going back, otherwise her speed would be too unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she waited until 50 minutes had passed before she took the sheet music to the recording studio next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recording studio was currently filled with a cacophony of sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest of the time, Jiang Qin began teaching them how to play the new piece, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six of them practiced painstakingly from dawn until ten at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that time, they only sustained themselves with a bit of nutrient liquid and some alertness potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yina, Cang Hong, Trant, and Hugh, the four of you just need to practice a bit more tomorrow to get more comfortable with it, and you should be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interstellar People had quick minds and agile bodies. As long as they memorized the movements and the melody, they could replicate most of the song just by imitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So aside from being a little unpracticed, the four of them had no major issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Chu Rou was making mistakes with high frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Qin didn’t put too much pressure on her. \"Chu Rou, practice some more tomorrow. If it’s really not working out, I’ll make some adjustments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was just that after the adjustment, her exposure probably wouldn’t be very good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her current plan was to balance everyone’s time in the spotlight.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Being sidelined wouldn’t be a good thing for her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But if she really couldn’t learn it, then there was no other choice. Jiang Qin’s first priority was the quality of the final performance.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Rou pressed her lips together. She knew exactly what that \"adjustment\" meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This was her only chance to turn around all the negative press from the past.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She used to complain that she was always assigned to low-skilled composers who dragged her down into obscurity with them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But now, she was finally under a composer who had real talent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Was she going to be relegated to the sidelines of the stage again because of her own shortcomings?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No, she refused to accept that!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She was only sixty-three this year! That was far from retirement age. She was still young enough to make her mark!’\u003C\u002Fp>",1412,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","4cca392243855d6bfe95a064f89383c9b3e455215d2e3aed27c8e7c09ccc5535","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-97","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-95",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
