She provided all the clothing and accessories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they had to be paid for, but payment would be settled after the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could have taken them back, actually, but she didn’t want the hassle. It was just one outfit, after all; giving it away was no big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the amount of reputation value she needed wasn’t that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already famous singers. After they performed this song, their fans would probably generate reputation value for her too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was basically equivalent to them paying her fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was an invisible, undisclosed fee, so on the surface, she still had to charge them something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the outfits she provided were quite unique for the Interstellar era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials were high-quality, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Jiang Qin was helping Cang Hong adjust his makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interstellar People were naturally good-looking, so they hadn’t delved into the art of makeup as deeply as people on Earth had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most just put on a little something to make their skin look better on camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no choice but to step in and help with the adjustments herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no idea how flustered her proximity made him. Cang Hong was blushing the entire time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes didn’t dare meet Jiang Qin’s, terrified she would see through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he felt his heart wasn’t in his chest, but lodged in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There.\" Jiang Qin admired Cang Hong’s handsome face, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perfect. Cool and handsome!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Trant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy might have a bit of an arrogant streak, but he wasn’t too difficult to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only faintly impatient with the others at the very beginning. But over the last two days, probably due to the high-intensity practice, he simply didn’t have time for an attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe he was just shocked by everyone else’s life-or-death, competitive drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, his attitude had softened considerably, and he was even willing to give the others pointers on singing high notes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only natural for someone with his talent and status to be a bit proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What gave Jiang Qin the most inspiration was his long, wavy, purple hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t he the spitting image of a band’s bassist stepping right out of a comic book? So, the first thing she did was assign him to play bass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Cang Hong would be the drummer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Jiang Qin didn’t make these assignments based on looks alone; she had other considerations as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full four hours of makeup, they were finally ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five people, five different styles of makeup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go, the livestream is about to start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin led the way toward the composers’ guest seating area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her outfit tonight was also edgy: a black, one-shoulder leather top paired with a matching tight, hip-hugging skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hair was tied up high, and her makeup was heavier than usual, concealing the frail, sickly look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the show began, the atmosphere in the venue was electric.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 30-to-20 elimination round, plus the unprecedented band theme—this episode was packed with hype!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the host’s opening remarks, they cut the chatter and went straight to drawing the performance order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin stared, stunned, at the number she drew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were going last...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Earth, no one without real skill would dare to perform last. But this was the Interstellar era, an era of unequal votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performing late meant you only got the scraps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the singers’ waiting area, the team members’ hearts sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performing last!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t about skill anymore. The number of votes left at the end would depend entirely on the strength of their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their opponents were too strong, the only votes left might be from a few die-hard fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a total of one hundred million audience members in the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could guarantee how many of their own fans had gotten in, or how many of those fans would remain steadfast and not be swayed by another performance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew this from Jiang Qin’s previous rounds, where fans of other contestants had switched sides on the spot and become Jiang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone’s mood was a bit heavy, this was just a case of bad luck. There was nothing they could do to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The singers wouldn’t be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they performed well enough, they could still break out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the only ones who really cared about the vote count were the composers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation people watching the livestream also grew anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We finally saw a glimmer of hope, and now we’re back to despair.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Damn, everyone who made it to the top 30 is talented, right? How is the last act supposed to survive?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forget last, anyone performing after the top ten probably won’t get any votes, right?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is what’s fair. If they don’t have votes, they have to compete based on their score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s a reasonable system for the show. The top ten are judged on score and popularity, while those who perform later are ranked by score.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The person above has a point. I almost believed it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hah, what’s fair about it? The Empire is obviously targeting our Federation. I bet they rigged it, didn’t they?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most people were furious, a small, clear-headed minority remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[This is a mechanism controlled by the mainframe. Human intervention would require a vote from the leaders of all major powers. It’s really not worth it for a simple entertainment show...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation people were angry, but so were the supporters of the previously eliminated contestants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tch, you two-faced Federation hypocrites! When she was always going first, you didn’t say a word, did you?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Exactly. If it wasn’t her, it would be someone else. So other people can go last, but she can’t?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[If you don’t have the skill, then just drop out of the competition. Why are you here nitpicking? Anyone who didn’t know better would think you’d already reserved the championship title.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chat in the livestream was on fire, and the number of viewers was constantly rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the scenes, the director was grinning from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director of this show got rich every year, and this year, it was his turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this year’s show was far more popular than the previous two seasons. He couldn’t even imagine how big his bonus would be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he couldn’t smile anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the first five-person band to take the stage sang an incredibly messy song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jiang Qin was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... This is a band?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Singing off-key, singing over each other, and even raising the key for the next person to take over??’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the next singer, who was clearly not good at high notes, just screeched...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The judges silently gave out low scores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience in the venue had no desire to vote whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, in a situation like this, they felt the production team should compensate them. Their ears were actually hurting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even felt it was a form of psychological attack and suggested a thorough investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the first band’s performance had been an accident, the fact that the second and third were just as bad meant it was no longer an accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the average skill level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I thought tonight’s show was going to be legendary, but it turned out to be a total trainwreck.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Three days isn’t a long time, sure, but is it too much to ask for them to at least be in sync?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens weren’t unaware that some composers, lacking inspiration, might only finish writing the score on the final day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t see that as an excuse. After all, if others could do it and you couldn’t, that just meant you were useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So right now, the livestream chat was a waterfall of insults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LMAO, with this level of skill, what are they doing forming a band? If they had just done a five-person chorus, it probably wouldn’t have been this embarrassing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They want votes with this kind of performance? They should be paying the audience’s medical bills!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Jiang Qin: I gave you a chance, and you’re all still useless.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",1387,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","475f1d083432ef7ab89c89d2f521a44006765b735bf0e2a0407ccb3f008920cc","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-99","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-97",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
