Chapter 199

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, this is nothing."

Su Meng sighed and said in a drawn-out voice.

"That... I really don't want to discourage you... but..."

"This song 'Five Rings Song' isn't about the five Olympic rings shining—it's about... the Fifth Ring Road in the Imperial Capital getting jammed..."

"If you absolutely have to talk about some spirit, it's not 'higher, faster, stronger' either."

"It's... more jammed? Slower? More maddening?"

Huh?

The whole group instantly turned to stone.

The Imperial Capital... Fifth Ring Road... traffic jam?

More jammed? Slower? More maddening?

Are... are you serious?

In the livestream, the barrage of comments that had just been pouring like a waterfall suddenly froze in place.

Only a few crows flew lazily by, cawing "caw caw caw."

"Five Rings Song"... is about... the Fifth Ring Road in the Imperial Capital getting jammed?

After a long while, a huge question mark drifted lazily across the barrage.

That question mark seemed to light the fuse.

In an instant, the screen was flooded with question marks.

???

Su Meng paid no attention to the group of petrified people.

He pulled out paper and pen and started writing with a flurry of strokes.

This song in the System Shop only costs a mere 200,000 popularity points.

For him, it's nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

In no time at all he had finished writing, and he casually stuffed it into Xiao Yueyue's hand.

"Here, this is your song, take it and practice."

Xiao Yueyue still hadn't quite come back to his senses.

A grand anthem praising the Olympic spirit, a little ditty about the Fifth Ring Road traffic jam in the Imperial Capital.

Isn't the gap between these two a little too huge?

Taking the paper reflexively and glancing at it, Xiao Yueyue's face immediately fell.

"Little Martial Uncle, this score... I can't read it."

"Ahem ahem ahem... how about... I take a look?"

Liu Huan was also a bit embarrassed, and after clearing his throat twice, he leaned over.

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, he took the score with an air of composure.

After a few glances, his expression immediately grew serious.

"This tune... is great!"

Great?

The crowd looked at him with even stranger eyes.

A moment ago you were praising the name, and now this again?

Do you really think we'll still believe you?

Liu Huan seemed to be trying to salvage his dignity, and hurriedly explained.

"This tune looks simple, but it actually fuses rock, pop, and rap together, and the fusion is seamless."

"The lyrics and melody are simple, yet catchy, with strong appeal—very easy to spread."

"And although the lyrics seem playful and silly, they actually voice the hearts of the Beijing drifters and the city's new migrants."

"Both authentic and deeply heartfelt, sung in a playful way, yet full of hope for life..."

Really?

After Liu Huan's commentary, everyone picked up their interest again.

Who is Liu Huan?

A top male singer in the country, and the head of the Vocal Department at the Imperial Capital Yinyuexue Academy!

Could a song he can't stop praising be an ordinary song?

It seems we misunderstood Su Meng, and we also misunderstood Teacher Liu Huan.

"Really? I didn't look carefully just now..."

Xiao Yueyue said, leaning over again and craning his neck to look at the paper.

But after just a few glances, his eyes immediately changed, and he read it out loud directly.

"Ah~~~ Five Rings, you have one more ring than Four Rings,"

"Ah~~~ Five Rings, you have one less ring than Six Rings."

"One day at last, you'll be extended to Seven Rings."

"Once it's extended to Seven Rings, then what,"

"You're two rings more than Five Rings~~~~"

"Um... Teacher Liu Huan... are we even talking about the same song?"

Huh? You're one ring more than Four Rings? You're one ring less than Teacher Liu Huan?

What if you cultivate to Seven Rings — are you two rings more than Five Rings?

At the scene and in the livestream rooms, countless people's gazes at Liu Huan changed.

Such a crappy set of lyrics — even as a kindergarten math problem it'd be considered too easy!

Where exactly did you see the voice of the Beijing drifter crowd and the new city migrants?"

Your reading comprehension... must be more than full marks, right?

The reading comprehension on the college entrance exam... you, Teacher Liu Huan, must be the one who writes the questions, right?

I've misjudged you! So this is the kind of Liu Huan you really are!

Under a crowd of strange, unsettling stares, Liu Huan was on the verge of tears.

Speaking of which, this song... damn it, you could at least finish reading it! Chuan.
