after becoming popular, they held concerts, did endorsements, and starred in idol dramas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the path of charging for albums and songs has become very difficult to sustain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, rampant piracy has severely harmed creators and Zhengban  supporters—what you pay for is easily found online, and over time, this inevitably causes psychological imbalance, leading people to abandon Zhengban  support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, China currently lacks the environment to support a massive record market like those abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although China has a huge population, its record market is actually very small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, only superstar-level artists or idols with massive fanbases still dare to release paid albums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else basically releases one album and flops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even concerts—over the past few years, many live shows have been losses disguised as promotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increasingly sluggish market has pushed traditional singers to seek new avenues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the most promising option is appearing on variety shows, revealing another side of themselves beyond singing, using contrast to attract fans and raise their value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to thrive on variety shows, you need decent speaking skills, the ability to let loose, and a sense of humor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some singers now appear on variety shows, sitting motionless with a blank stare no matter what others say, as if the production team owes them unpaid wages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This makes it hard for hosts and guests to interact, and viewers find it annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They disdain the commercialism of variety shows yet cling to their lofty image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they can’t resist the high pay offered, so they still show up to cross over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such singers can only rely on their past fame to cash in for a few years; once the audience’s nostalgia filter fades, they’re essentially irrelevant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another way to earn money—also being tried by many singers in the past two years, including those who’ve faded—is live-streamed product promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Appearing on variety shows is exhausting—you have to constantly think of ways to entertain everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Live-streamed product promotion is much simpler: sit in front of the camera, chat with fans, and sell products while talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earnings from a single live stream are at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands—not unusual at all; isn’t that far easier than touring and doing shows?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, to make a name in live-streamed product promotion, you must have a unique gimmick—in plain terms, you must know how to “pull stunts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year’s most popular live-streamed seller is Liu Genghong, who, through innovative fitness streams, attracted over ten million fans in just seven days and rocketed to top-streamer status, trending more often than many current idol stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if overnight, countless “Liu Genghong girls” appeared across China, all starting to follow his fitness routines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accumulating such a massive fanbase, Liu Genghong began product promotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not professional, each session reportedly earns nearly ten million yuan—his speed of making money is like printing cash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crucially, manufacturers are the ones chasing him to promote their products, offering him exceptional terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the power of the internet—you never know how you’ll go viral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Genghong is one example; Wang Xinling is another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As this year’s most successful comeback artist, she rose from a faded 18th-tier singer to explosive fame in just two variety episodes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many faded singers have appeared on variety shows over the years, but none reached this level of popularity before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the internet age, a singer’s rise to fame rarely depends solely on their music—often, it requires gimmicks and hype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, a tiny minority of singers are exceptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They maintain terrifyingly high popularity through songs of exceptional quality that transcend conventional categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making money is simply a matter of opening their mouths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan is the archetype of this group—while everyone else is busy promoting products and appearing on variety shows, she still stays home playing League of Legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time she played was over half a year ago, when the S9 Phoenix champion skin just launched; she bought the deluxe bundle but didn’t play much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, reopening the game, she finds the S10 champion title has been taken by LCK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The LPL, touted as the world’s top region, was eliminated entirely in the semifinals, leaving millions of LPL fans watching two Korean teams battle for the title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For LPL fans who spent a year boasting about their region’s supremacy, this situation is devastating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan, affected by this, played just one match before closing the client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh, LPL didn’t win—I just don’t feel like playing anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since reaching Master rank, Luo Quan has lost motivation for League of Legends—further progress would mean going pro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with her current schedule, how could she possibly find time to compete?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So League of Legends has become something she plays occasionally; she plays more after a championship win because winning lifts her mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, without a win, she’s thoroughly demoralized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just her—her livestream viewers also feel down about League of Legends, as if suffering from PTSD, criticizing the absurd plays by LPL teams in the semifinals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Negative emotions are hard to control, so Luo Quan swiftly ended the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Luo Bao, you haven’t held a concert in a long time, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shifting topics, fans turned to concerts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As mentioned, the domestic market is sluggish, and many singers lose money on concerts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan is an exception—her concerts always sell out, tickets are impossible to get, each one causes a sensation, and there’s zero chance of loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Luo Quan hasn’t signed with any company; otherwise, the company would’ve forced her into a global tour long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans would enthusiastically support such a move, but Luo Quan is the boss—she naturally wants a more relaxed life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, since her debut, she’s averaged fewer than two concerts per year, and she hasn’t held any this year yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the year ending soon, fans, though aware the odds are low, still asked—perhaps the ever-accommodating Luo Quan would finally say yes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the answer was “no.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holding a concert consumes too much time—you need to rehearse for months in advance. If I actually hold one, you won’t see my livestreams for at least half a month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So do you want to trade one night of revelry for my half-month absence?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan didn’t refuse outright—she laid out the trade-offs clearly and let fans decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, upon hearing this, fans immediately told her not to hold it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerts aren’t something you can just launch—achieving quality requires extensive planning and rehearsal; if you just stand on stage singing with everything else stripped down, it’d be too lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, between one night of fun and half a month of absence, they knew exactly what to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most fans won’t choose a concert because most fans can’t even get tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I understand how much you want to hear me sing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Luo Quan’s tone shifted suddenly: “As a singer, I also love singing for you. I’ve been busy lately and haven’t sung much, so I’m planning a song-fan gathering tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It starts at eight tonight, ends whenever I feel like it—fans who want to hear songs, come to the livestream, bring your own drinks and snacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s that? Isn’t this much more comfortable than a concert? You can even listen lying in bed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as she said this, fans erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luo Quan has sung during livestreams before, she only sang one or two songs each time—nowhere near enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, since it’s an actual song-fan gathering, it’ll be at least three hours long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All songs will be live-performed; the only difference from a concert is no backup dancers, fancy costumes, or elaborate lighting—most viewers watch concerts via broadcast anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this song-fan gathering is essentially a low-spec version of a concert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the news of Luo Quan’s upcoming song-fan gathering topped trending lists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Luo Quan had just refreshed her name onto the trending list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five minutes and eight seconds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan paused the timer: “See? I only need this long to hit trending—I suspect there are Sina employees lurking in my livestream, instantly pushing any explosive news to trending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s normal—you have so many fans, it’s not surprising some work at Sina.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be fair, the speed of trending is indeed extremely fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Bao’s popularity is still solid, especially for something as big as a song-fan gathering.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Luo Bao, have you decided what songs to sing at the gathering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are so many songs—just go through them one by one; you won’t finish them all in one night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Precisely because there are so many songs that you need to pick carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to fans’ questions, Luo Quan put down her phone: “Tonight’s a ballad special—so I’ll mostly sing love songs. If any fans are heartbroken, come here for comfort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t be surprised if I end up making you cry even harder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love songs are like that—some bring peace after listening, others bring tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for heartbroken fans, they have little choice—they can only come to Luo Quan for warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, they are all single.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While chatting here, Luo Quan’s song-fan gathering was already sparking heated discussion on Weibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singers singing is normal—but most now perform on variety shows; using the internet as a concert platform is rare, perhaps because they think it’s too frivolous or don’t value the traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan’s song-fan gathering is different—without any major promotion, the number of pre-registrations quickly surpassed five million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many are grateful it’s Saturday, so they can comfortably stay home listening to her sing while enjoying delicious food and drinks—pure bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But some complain, mainly that Luo Bao is too lazy, using this as a substitute for concerts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once is fine, but what if she uses this excuse forever?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Luo Quan just explained, the trade-off is clear—for most fans, a song-fan gathering is far more worthwhile than a concert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these complaints were quickly countered by other fans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this song-fan gathering, already at peak popularity before going live, caught the attention of brands—they all emailed Luo Quan, wanting her to take on a small ad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t even need to mention it—just place their product in the livestream, and the price is negotiable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Luo Quan turned them all down, because she thought her own products hadn’t even been advertised yet—how could she possibly take yours?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, their suggestions opened her mind: she could promote the milk powder during her singing later—free advertising was free advertising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, this was promoting her own product; her fans wouldn’t say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Luo Quan couldn’t help but smile slyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your idea is good—but now it’s mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you smiling so cunningly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I just thought of something funny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your wife just gave birth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, where did Luo Bao get a wife?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kind of smile is rare—like a fox spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cunning, yet with a touch of playfulness—so adorable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fans didn’t understand why Luo Quan was laughing, but her sudden facial expressions still sparked a flood of comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting the plan for her evening singing, Luo Quan didn’t stream long during the day; she went downstairs for lunch by noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, her mother cooked—preparing all the home-style dishes Luo Quan and Wen Xia loved most, brimming with childhood flavors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the meal, Luo Xi smelled the food and demanded to try some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan tried feeding her a bit of shredded meat, but her main food was still egg custard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a two-year-old’s digestive system was fairly developed, she still needed time to adapt—she couldn’t eat like an adult right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Xi would have to wait a while longer before tasting her mother’s and sister’s delicious food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, her mother called Luo Quan into the room and asked about the pills she’d sent to New York.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These pills were exchanged from the system—they extended lifespan; one each for her grandfather and grandmother, and one for her grandfather too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there something wrong with these pills?” Luo Quan asked, tense at her mother’s sudden mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wrong? They’re incredible—after your grandfather took one, he became as energetic as if he’d turned twenty years younger, leaving your father and your second uncle speechless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His old friends all asked if he’d taken some miracle drug, but luckily the old man kept his mouth shut, saying it was just from his cultivation practice—he never mentioned your pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m asking because I want to know—do you still have any left?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her mother’s hopeful eyes, Luo Quan shook her head: “Not right now—I’m not sure if you want to take one too?”\u003C\u002Fp>",2133,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fe0d9e13aeff1d8769edc3b4a4e38989f619f5148a818729cccf67f1fcc1cbee","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-960","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-958",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
