Thank you to the reader who donated with “hahaha”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time short, both girls were starving, so Luo Quan didn’t bother making anything elaborate—there was plenty of leftover rice from last night, so she stir-fried them a big bowl of egg fried rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No fancy garnishes, just simple eggs, sausage, and scallions—but even with basic ingredients, the aroma still burst forth powerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the dish was plated, Wen Xia, drooling, seemed to see a glimmer of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely the reflection of scrambled egg and rice grains under the incandescent light—not any special effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia scooped up a spoonful; it wasn’t divine cuisine or a gourmet delight, but it was far tastier than any ordinary chef’s egg fried rice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Luo Quan wash the wok, Wen Xia let out a wail of frustration: “Ugh… Luo Luo, how come you can do everything? Even cooking tastes this good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan grinned and shook her head: “Don’t idolize me—I’m just a legend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Junzi gazed in awe: “Is this what a perfect girlfriend looks like? I thought only existed in youth manga—yet here she is, real and alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan smiled: “So what if she’s perfect? Still eats, sleeps, and poops. You think goddesses don’t defecate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puh—!” Wen Xia, mid-bite, was struck by ten thousand points of damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan hurriedly apologized: “Sorry, sorry—I shouldn’t have said that while eating.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia stared blankly: “You really are… such a beautiful girl, shame you’ve got such a mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft!” Luo Quan shrugged and ignored Wen Xia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone was full and satisfied, the three sat side by side on the sofa—Wen Xia leaned against the left end, propping her long bare legs across Luo Quan’s lap, utterly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got good news—I just released my new album, recorded the songs at the company today,” Luo Quan broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia perked up: “Awesome! Do you have a demo? Let me hear it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan hesitated: “These are company secrets—I can’t release them early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen Xia was disappointed but understood: “Fair enough—contract ethics matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to leak it—Sony’s already released it themselves,” Junzi said, holding up her phone—the screen showed Sony’s Twitter account, with the latest post already having 100,000 comments!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Super new artist Quan Shui is about to release her debut album, ‘Coming of Age’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Posted at 8 p.m.—prime time for young netizens—within two hours, it drew massive attention and discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Japan’s music scene, Luo Quan is already established as the leading new-generation songwriter: in under a month, she released five tracks of exceptional quality, with lyrics, melodies, and production all at top-tier levels—each song alone would be a career-defining hit for any other singer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A musical genius appearing out of nowhere,” was the consensus among major music magazines about Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What distinguishes geniuses from ordinary people is that their achievements are unimaginable and unattainable by the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when everyone assumed Luo Quan would take a break after releasing five great songs, she dropped another ten—simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Netizens flooded the comments:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If a singer’s talent is a skill, Quan Shui is clearly a cheater—no cooldown, infinite mana!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This release pace is like some third-rate singers frantically pumping out songs before they fade into obscurity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a poor guy, I shed tears of pain—I just saved up enough to buy ‘Quan Shui,’ and now she drops another album!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Predictable: TikTok’s about to see a massive wave of BGM swaps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The album’s called ‘Coming of Age,’ but isn’t Quan Shui just eighteen? (Japan’s legal adulthood is twenty.)”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“FYI: Quan Shui is Chinese—China’s legal adulthood is eighteen, though the minimum marriage age is twenty, two years older than Japan’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s weird—it’s almost the opposite of ours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Like we could ever marry her even if we turned twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my dreams, she’s already given me tons of kids~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up, shut-in!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Music knows no borders—neither do nerds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of Luo Quan’s fans are precisely these fantasy-prone otaku—or rather, nearly all young female idols’ fanbases are made up of these guys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though their spending power isn’t as wild as female fans’, their support culture is deeply rooted, with professional workflows best seen at concerts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan currently lacks the clout to hold concerts, and she’s not interested in building global fan clubs, so after the album’s release, promotion relied entirely on fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Sony also did some marketing—they couldn’t buy trending topics, but they could buy bots; within half an hour, click counts surged to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without bots, Luo Quan’s traffic would’ve trended eventually—but online time is money; the earlier you trend, the more eyes you get. Everyone buys bots—those who don’t can’t prove they’re any purer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, Hino Sakura immediately shared and promoted Luo Quan’s album—since their joint adventure last time, they’d built solid rapport and frequently interacted on Twitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Sony’s strategy was massive: after an initial evaluation, executives unanimously agreed this album had blockbuster potential!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just in Japan—they aimed to elevate it to an Asian scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japan has produced many pop stars who swept across Asia; during the Korean Wave’s peak, Japan held its entertainment ecosystem firm against dominant boy and girl groups thanks to these singers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China didn’t hold its ground—that’s why its entertainment industry became what it is today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Japan isn’t doing much better—it’s just surviving on its old wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they only clung to their tiny patch of land, life would still be bearable—but Luo Quan’s emergence gave executives the courage to dream bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With proper management, this album, ‘Coming of Age,’ might become Japan’s battle cry to reclaim dominance from Korea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Language may differ, cultures may vary—but the appreciation and love for music know no barriers. A decade ago, those singers conquered Asia; why can’t Luo Quan, a decade later, recreate that glory?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Sony unusually mobilized resources from its China and Korea divisions to launch the largest possible promotional campaign for this album!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>P.S. Suddenly got a headache—only one update today. Three updates tomorrow to make up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-20T22:54:01.657Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ff0d15d3d5330c271092e23447268c037ad4a3bcd27aa7e417145da572758237","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-50","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-48",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
