I can’t even get a word in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Luo Quan stiffened—what was this strange sense of déjà vu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Bai Xingwei about to start saying something ridiculous like “I got here first”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a classic “Bai Xue” moment loomed, Luo Quan was still thinking how to respond when Bai Xingwei suddenly laughed: “Do you think I’m being overly sensitive and dramatic, sulking over something so small?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not,” Luo Quan immediately denied. “I don’t think you’re dramatic or sensitive—I just know you and Chu Yueyan aren’t friends yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So when I chat with her, you automatically position yourself as an outsider and stay silent, instead of joining in like a friend would.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why you said so little the whole time, and seemed left out. It’s my fault for being so slow to realize this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that really true?” Bai Xingwei said hesitantly. As someone caught in the situation, she wasn’t sure if Luo Quan’s interpretation was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan gently patted her shoulder: “Actually, Chu Yueyan inviting you to dinner means she sees you as a friend—it’s just that you’re too reserved. Next time you meet, be more open.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends are like that: first meeting is awkward, second becomes familiar, and over time you grow close. How can a relationship develop if you never take the initiative?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right,” Bai Xingwei’s eyes brightened. “I think I know what to do now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Successfully averting a “Bai Xue” moment, Luo Quan smiled contentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Bai Xingwei really was as sensitive as she claimed, Luo Quan couldn’t admit it—even if it were true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone already sensitive, if prodded further, would only suffer more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Quan told a kind lie, successfully calming Bai Xingwei’s emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, she wondered: was this behavior even jealousy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, jealousy occurs between opposite genders, but if close friends act this way, it could still be called jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might sound odd at first, but it also shows how much Bai Xingwei cares about her only friend—fearing she might be taken away by some other “bad woman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tricky part was, Luo Quan couldn’t say just anything to comfort her—she couldn’t grab Bai Xingwei’s head and tell her not to worry, that no one would take her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would sound even weirder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid giving Bai Xingwei the false impression that things were improving between her and Chu Yueyan, Luo Quan chose a more normal approach. Fortunately, Bai Xingwei wasn’t someone who dwelled on things, so the issue didn’t escalate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After calming her emotions, Luo Quan returned to her room and lay comfortably on her bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously recorded show had aired; the first-ever gathering of the Ten Beauties had immediately shot into the top ten of entertainment trending topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>News of Luo Quan’s new song triggering the “Battle Anthem” effect also entered the top thirty trending topics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, Luo Quan had only briefly learned the definition of a Battle Anthem; she wanted to search for details but found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around, she learned that Battle Anthems and those who create them are classified as semi-regulated items and personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle Anthems are legally designated as strategic assets, carrying significant value and meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone capable of creating them exists during wartime, they are taken away by designated personnel for protection and rarely allowed to perform publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though now in peacetime, regulations are looser, Battle Anthems still can’t be played freely like ordinary songs—they require a series of official applications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a singer who loves to sing and share beautiful music with fans, Luo Quan naturally hoped her music would never become a Battle Anthem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other hand, music becoming a Battle Anthem proves its exceptional quality—most other musicians haven’t even reached that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created a contradiction: if she wanted to sing in the future, she’d have to find a high-level entertainment channel with a Battle Anthem broadcast license and proper qualifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she tried singing in her own livestream, she’d likely be shut down the moment she opened her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a solution would emerge later, but from now on, her musical performances would be watched and restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Government officials would soon come knocking—once her music was officially recognized as a Battle Anthem, there was no avoiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good news was: by sacrificing her freedom to sing as she pleased, her fame had exploded across the Universal Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An alien native possessing near-perfect natural beauty was already a miracle of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she not only had looks, but martial talent, and even artistic skill—she was a triple-threat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person could no longer be called merely an “alien native.” Her genes were undoubtedly superior to most Universal citizens—a chosen one born once in a hundred million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People had reason to believe Luo Quan had only revealed a fraction of her boundless talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She surely didn’t have only “New World” as a song—could her other songs also summon Song Spirits? That was a question worth exploring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If proven true, a third organization—besides the Divine Martial Temple and the Dawn Church—would soon come knocking: the military of the Holy Tang Celestial Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle Anthems, perfectly suited for battlefield charges, were precisely the kind of strategic asset the military would want to control. The importance of a singer who could create them needed no elaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Luo Quan became famous on the show, she had become a prized asset; many factions now took intense interest in this sudden alien girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Universal Star hadn’t seen such an extraordinary alien in a long time—this was another counterexample to the theory that gene mutations could be controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Universal scientists believed human genes could be artificially selected to evolve in predictable directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, if both parents were beautiful, their offspring would become increasingly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with superior genes would produce increasingly powerful descendants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, aliens from lower civilizations lacked the genetic resources to produce outstanding offspring, so they could never compare to native Universal citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Universal supremacists used this argument to brainwash the masses, trying to use science to legitimize their heretical claims and gain profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mainstream opinion held that gene expression was always random and full of immense uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although all dominant genes were inherited from parents, some talents might never have appeared in either parent—this was the infinite potential of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of this that humanity had both mediocrities and geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wherever you went, geniuses were always more easily revered and respected by society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the Universal Star’s society where the strong rule supreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person’s virtue was admirable, but if they were powerful, even if they were vile, it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan’s advantage was that her character and strength seemed to align—something exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this era, netizens found it hard to find an idol who excelled in every way; Luo Quan’s arrival filled that gap perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other stars as outstanding as her often had backgrounds—some were even second- or third-generation heirs with illustrious families. Only Luo Quan came from humble origins, giving ordinary Universal citizens a stronger sense of identification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overnight, her fan count multiplied tenfold; countless advertisers and film producers scrambled like ants on a hot pan, desperately seeking her contact information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could act, others had already moved: the earliest companies to recognize her commercial potential had tried contacting her, but all ended up going to the Divine Martial Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Martial Temple’s reply: they would handle all of Luo Quan’s commercial activities themselves; companies should wait for updates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet behind the scenes, the White Tiger Sect Master had privately instructed his subordinates not to interfere excessively with Luo Quan, making the temple dare not force her into projects she clearly disliked, as they once had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the companies’ demands were completely blocked upon reaching the Divine Martial Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only say the White Tiger Sect Master had done Luo Quan a great favor—his original intent was that such an exceptional martial talent shouldn’t waste her energy on trivial matters like commercials and endorsements, but should focus on cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This coincided perfectly with Luo Quan’s lazy mindset: if she could lie down, she wouldn’t stand; if she could avoid commercials, she wouldn’t add to her workload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, if she received such offers, she might have worked hard to gain exposure and fans by filming a few interesting ads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now? There was absolutely no need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one appearance with the Ten Beauties had brought her astonishing popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Yearly Festival performance finally came, she’d be red-hot across the entire sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would her value then be the same as now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So emotionally and rationally, this wasn’t the right time to accept endorsements—she should delay as long as possible; the longer she waited, the higher her value would rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was, many of these potential values she had no intention of ever cashing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, after her rise to fame, many major clothing brands approached her to become their spokesperson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not full-line, top-tier brands, these were still leaders in the Universal fashion industry—just their interest was already impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after learning how endorsements worked, Luo Quan instantly lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To endorse these brands, she’d need to shoot promotional photos, including lingerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To open-minded Universal citizens, this meant nothing—they believed as long as nothing was exposed, it wasn’t erotic, so lingerie shoots were merely called “sexy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Huaxia, how many female stars would dare take such ads?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even slightly famous ones considered it a big deal to endorse stockings; anything more intimate, even if endorsed, would involve models only—stars would show only their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t so much advertising as it was digital cutouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Universal Star, a celebrity must personally use the product and appear with it on camera to make the endorsement credible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For lingerie ads, that meant the star had to appear wearing lingerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Luo Quan was adapting to Universal customs and willing to conform,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she intended to delay this particular kind of conformity—for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to her search results, Xu Yanqing had once shot such an ad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to her explosive figure, it sparked major controversy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The controversy centered on whether such a beautiful woman’s ad crossed the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the final verdict was that it didn’t, any controversy was still undesirable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xu Yanqing herself probably didn’t care at all—she dared to face online hate and let herself grow wild, becoming the Universal entertainment industry’s “chest-bearer,” so her inner strength must be immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan planned to seek her out more often and learn from her experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, she’d stay a bit more conservative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she had just become famous; the public was still forming their first impression of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that first impression was built on her lingerie photos and provocative figure, the tone would be very strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her beautiful face and curvaceous figure have always been the reasons she’s been so popular, she doesn’t want her fans to focus on nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her fans say, there are so many busty beauties in the world—why do they only adore her? It’s because she has a unique and fascinating soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Luo Quan hopes that Galaxy Star’s fans will first form their impression of her through her fascinating soul; her looks and figure can wait—they’ll see those later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she definitely can’t accept any similar fashion brands in the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aside from that, there are many food brands she could consider.\u003C\u002Fp>",2045,"2026-06-20T22:54:06.151Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a9e3cfada750383446d380d5341a7607ede4f52aaefe5b3abdfa8261179594a","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-987","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-985",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
