Chapter 886: Repaying Debts

Becoming the successor of the Victorious Fighting Buddha did not cause any particularly big changes in Miss Luo Quan's life.

After all, except for herself, there was no second person in the cave at that time.

And fortunately, there was no second person; otherwise, wouldn't she have been seen naked in that situation?

Making a fortune in silence is comfortable, but it also faces the awkward situation of "wearing brocade in the night"; if you can't let others see it, you can't share the joy of obtaining a good treasure.

After coming out of the secret realm, the first thing Seeing Wen Xia did was ask where she had been these past few days.

Although Miss Luo Quan had greeted them when she left, saying she would be away for a few days and might not be able to answer the phone.

Although Seeing Wen Xia and the others were worried, they didn't say much.

Now that she had returned safely, everyone was definitely relieved, but they were also quite curious about where she had been these past few days.

However, the matter of exploring Flower Fruit Mountain needed to be kept in her stomach for the next few years. Unless Seeing Wen Xia could cultivate her martial power to the third or fourth rank in a short time, it would be difficult for her to come into contact with higher-level information.

This kind of thing still shouldn't be told to people around her indiscriminately; this was actually a kind of protection for them.

"I went to appraise treasures; they said a batch of shipwreck treasures were salvaged at sea, and the number was relatively large, so it took a relatively long time."

Miss Luo Quan gave a reason that was still passable.

"You can also appraise treasures? Haven't heard that you have this kind of thing?" Seeing Wen Xia looked suspicious.

She herself quite liked watching the program "Tian Tian Jian Bao" (Daily Treasure Appraisal); the teachers in it were all talents, spoke well, and the fun created by the ruthless treasure friends was truly hilarious.

However, she didn't understand how these teachers could recognize the age and authenticity of an antique just by looking at it for a few glances; it felt like a high-precision instrument, truly magical.

"There are many things I can do; there is only what you can't think of, not what I can't do." Miss Luo Quan curled her lips.

Seeing Wen Xia grinned: "You've really become arrogant, my Abyss Bawanghua girl."

Hearing this nickname, Miss Luo Quan immediately got anxious and was about to stretch out her magic claws to bring Seeing Wen Xia to justice on the spot.

At this time, there was a knock on the door twice. Opening the door, she saw it was Gao Liang and Mia.

"Sister, I have two pieces of good news here. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Two pieces of good news?" Miss Luo Quan laughed. Why only report good news and not bad news?

"The first piece of good news: you have obtained the certification of the Guinness World Record and have become the world's strongest woman!"

Gao Liang handed her a certificate and a medal.

"What does this mean?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her younger brother blankly.

Gao Liang replied: "This was mailed by the Guinness official the day after you left. At that time, didn't you easily defeat the American contestant Adeline? The Guinness official believed that there were no women on Earth who could stop you, so they opened champagne for you in advance.

However, they haven't officially announced it yet, just waiting for you to win the gold medal and celebrate together."

"Then they really trust me." Miss Luo Quan didn't know how to roast this official.

She quite liked watching the Guinness World Record program when she was young; this program team liked to record some strange records.

For example, pulling a zipper 100 times in the shortest time, or tearing a frying pan with bare hands in the shortest time.

And before this "World's Strongest Woman," she had already been certified as the "World's Most Beautiful."

The cause was that she was first voted as the world's most beautiful on the TCC website, and the Guinness World Record subsequently followed up and gave her certification.

At that time, Miss Luo Quan was still very humble, saying that in her heart, the most beautiful woman was her mother.

Then, for some reason, some fans on Bilibili started calling her "Mom," and the style sounded really strange.

In short, this Guinness World Record thing is just for fun, and there is no substantial honor or reward.

"This counts as good news. Then what is the second piece of good news?" Miss Luo Quan stuffed the certificate and medal into her suitcase and looked at her brother, asking.

"The second piece of good news is that the total sales of all your albums since your debut have exceeded the 150 million mark, and you have obtained the Diamond Record certification issued by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry!"

Gao Liang spread his hands, seemingly not intending to take out the certificate or medal.

"Where's the diamond?" Miss Luo Quan stared at her brother. "Did you kid privately swallow my diamond?"

"This is a virtual certificate; how could they possibly issue you a real diamond?" Gao Liang looked at his older sister, crying and laughing. "If you like diamonds so much, just shout online, and wouldn't that stuff be sent here box by box?"

"A gentleman loves wealth, but takes it in a proper way."

Miss Luo Quan scoffed at her brother's method: "I am fighting for the reward I deserve. But since you said this is a virtual certificate, then forget it."

She thought something good had happened in the few days she was away, but it turned out to be just certifications from two associations.

However, after Seeing Wen Xia and Gao Liang returned to their rooms, she opened her phone and found that quite a few bad things had also accumulated.

First, the "Resident Evil" game was launched, and the price of 299 was complained about as being slightly high.

Actually, "Final Fantasy" sold at a similar price and also encountered similar complaints, but because it was China's first 3A game, the tolerance of game fans was relatively high.

Plus the quality was solid, so the noise wasn't particularly loud.

And now the second 3A game had arrived, and game fans started to feel the price was a bit too high, thinking 199 would be more reasonable.

According to their rhetoric, many classic 3A masterpieces abroad now cost less than 100 yuan.

Regarding this kind of rhetoric, Miss Luo Quan didn't even want to pay attention to it.

A price of 299 was already not bad; this was still because the domestic market belonged to a low-price area. In foreign regions like the United States and Japan, the pricing of games was only higher, not lower.

Normally, this price was the average price among 3A games, not excessive at all.

So although there were many complaints, Miss Luo Quan didn't intend to change it.

Besides that, there were discussions caused by things like the game content being bloody and violent, and Alice and Jill wearing revealing clothes and having too good a figure.

It was estimated that some young game fans bought the game, and when they were playing, they were discovered by their parents.

The parents who couldn't accept it directly recorded a video and posted it on Douyin, calling out to save the children and manage the games.

Miss Luo Quan didn't intend to make any response to this kind of irresponsible public opinion. As long as the relevant departments didn't say anything, she would absolutely not change a game that had already passed the review.

The blood in the domestic version had already turned green and was still being reported for being bloody and violent; then she really didn't know how to change it. Did it have to be juice flowing for it to work?

These were just bad news sent by Blizzard Studio, but overall, it wasn't too bad.

The studio's main task next was to ensure the updates of "World of Warcraft" and "Overwatch," which must be of high quality and quantity.

As for new games, Miss Luo Quan still had to look at the market before making a decision.

As for the other piece of bad news, it was that the fans who had just calmed down not long ago were flaming her again because there were no new songs to listen to.

From the second half of last year to now, she had released quite a few Chinese and English songs, but there were not many Japanese songs.

Now that she had already come to Tokyo, and it happened to be a grand event like the Olympic Games, shouldn't she release an album?

So fans kept asking Miss Luo Quan to release new songs; even a mini-album would do, or at least a single.

However, she didn't expect Miss Luo Quan to make no response at all; until now, social media hadn't updated any content.

This made the fans quite anxious. If you can or can't, at least give an answer. Luo Bao, you not speaking like this makes everyone feel very insecure.

Actually, at this time, Miss Luo Quan was soaking in the hot spring in the Water Curtain Cave, and her phone had been broken by the energy; even if she wanted to respond, she had no way.

To be fair, it had indeed been a year since she released new Japanese songs, if you didn't count the few she wrote for the Tokyo Olympics.

If she had seen these messages in the few days after filming "Under One Person," no matter how strong the fans' wishes were, she would have had to put them off for a while.

As lazy as she was, how could she work overtime for herself just after being tired?

But now, ever since absorbing the essence of the hot spring, she was particularly energetic.

In the past, whenever it hit twelve o'clock at night, sleepiness would flood her heart, and she would enter dreamland not long after closing her eyes.

But these past few days, she seemed to have never felt particularly sleepy. Although she could count sheep after closing her eyes, she only needed five or six hours to wake up, and she was full of energy.

Miss Luo Quan didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. She actually quite liked the feeling of sleeping for seven or eight hours in the past.

Now that her sleep time was reduced, her spirits were better. It was estimated that most people would prefer this kind, provided it didn't harm the body.

Miss Luo Quan guessed that it was probably because her physique had evolved, so the recovery speed had also become faster, and the time needed to rest naturally decreased.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan, with nowhere to vent her energy, was preparing to find something to do for herself. Since the fans wanted to hear new songs so much, she would release one; one has to be fair, right?

But before that, she had to buy a phone.

The one she used frequently before had been broken, and now she was using a spare Apple phone; many contacts, friends, and data were not on this one.

Fortunately, she had the habit of uploading important data to the cloud disk; as long as she bought a new Huawei phone, she could restore it.

Speaking of which, Huawei's days this year weren't particularly good; it was sanctioned by the United States and could no longer use the most advanced lithography machines to manufacture CPU chips.

Although it had hoarded quite a lot before, it was now in a situation of using one less for every one used.

As a capable consumer, Miss Luo Quan felt it was still necessary to support domestic products, so she bought the latest Mate40 Pro.

However, although she supported domestic products, she wouldn't call on fans to buy them either; after all, not all fans were as rich as she was.

After placing the order, Miss Luo Quan used the spare Apple phone to post a tweet:

"I have seen everyone's requests. I had things to deal with a few days ago, so I haven't had time to respond.

Now that things are settled and I have time, I also want to tell everyone a piece of good news: the new Japanese album is estimated to meet everyone soon.

Please allow me to sell a teaser for the specific time; in short, it will definitely meet everyone before the end of the Olympic Games!"

Once this news came out, it directly suppressed the news of Japan winning gold in table tennis doubles and firmly occupied the first position on the hot search.

In the table tennis event, China had ruled for many years; every team member was an existence like a Great Demon King in the eyes of people from other countries, an existence that could not be defeated.

But today, the Great Demon King failed.

In the final of the men's and women's doubles event, the Chinese combination lost to the host and only got a silver medal.

For other events, a silver medal was already a quite good result.

But for table tennis, it was really hard for people to accept.

Because they had won too many gold medals before, the posture shown was invincible, but they lost unexpectedly, which was truly unexpected.

Fortunately, the international team's contestants found their way back in the singles event, sweeping the gold and silver in both men's and women's singles, once again showing China's incomparable dominance in table tennis.

Of course, this was considered normal in the eyes of the outside world, because this wasn't the first time China had swept the gold and silver.

Conversely, it was a rare thing for Japan to win a gold medal in the table tennis event, which directly hit the hot search for three consecutive days, and every newly printed newspaper mentioned this matter.

And this kind of nationwide celebration event being suppressed by Miss Luo Quan releasing a new song also showed how high her popularity was now.

Of course, it might also be because she bought the hot search.

Everyone knew that Miss Luo Quan releasing a Japanese album must be in cooperation with Sony.

And it was simple for Sony to buy a front-page headline; this was also the most common marketing method on the internet now.

But regardless, the Japanese public had no opinion on Miss Luo Quan occupying the first hot search, and all expressed great anticipation for her new album.

Some even suggested that she be allowed to go up and sing a few songs at the closing ceremony of this Olympic Games, or simply turn it into her personal concert.

It had to be said that this idea was indeed bold, but it also sounded attractive.

With the opening ceremony already so lackluster, the public had no expectations for the closing ceremony.

Rather than watching the boring and weird dance again, it would be better to let a few well-known singers go up and take turns singing like the Red and White Song Festival; that would be more worth watching.

However, soon, some netizens posted the cost of letting Miss Luo Quan go on stage to sing.

Starting at 10 million RMB per time, with no upper limit, and it wasn't certain she could be invited.

Looking at the funding situation of the Olympic Games organizers, wanting to invite Miss Luo Quan to sing was no different from a pipe dream.

They couldn't even afford the money to buy the usage rights for the two-dimensional character images, so where would they have the money to invite Miss Luo Quan?

It could only be said that the public's ideas were always good, but those who really managed the money wouldn't care if your ideas were good or not; they would only think about filling their own pockets first.

If there was any surplus, they might symbolically take some out to do something.

But currently, it seemed there was no surplus; not losing money was already good.

Therefore, although quite a few members of the public made suggestions, it was still unlikely that Miss Luo Quan would appear on the stage of the closing ceremony.

Of course, her new songs were quite hopeful to be released before the closing ceremony arrived.

At Miss Luo Quan's speed, releasing an album wouldn't take as long as half a month. ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
