A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 126: The Night Amplifies Loneliness

Over the past few days, a company from Sak had also contacted her, hoping to buy the song’s copyright.

But she refused without hesitation.

They probably thought it was about the price, so they raised their offer a little.

To stop them from pestering her, she simply said that she had already arranged a collaboration for the song with someone else.

So, to prevent her lie from being exposed, she had to release the song.

The first one she considered was Tianwen Entertainment, the company that had just earned her a fortune.

At this thought, she decided to give Lan Yuyan a call.

After all, typing was pretty tiring.

"Miss Jiang? Did you make it home safely?"

"Yes, I’ve arrived," Jiang Qin replied. "Thank you for asking. The thing is, I wanted to ask... I have a few songs I don’t want to record myself, and I was wondering if you at Tianwen would be interested?"

’Of course they were interested. How was this any different from a free lunch falling from the sky?’

So Lan Yuyan immediately agreed, and when discussing the copyright fees, he was extremely generous.

Jiang Qin didn’t refuse.

After all, she would eventually use this extra money to donate to the Federation.

After they settled matters, Lan Yuyan brought up the idea of having a meal together.

"Last time, I wanted to invite you to try a specialty restaurant on the Main Star, Miss Jiang, but we were too rushed and didn’t have the chance."

"I was wondering if I might have the honor of taking you to dinner tomorrow evening?"

"Tomorrow evening? Sure."

"Great. I’ll come pick you up at eight tomorrow evening."

After the call ended, a slight smile touched Lan Yuyan’s lips.

He stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the bustling scenery outside. ’For the first time,’ he thought, ’my solitary life feels a bit too lonely.’

’No wonder Father wants to stick to Mother every day, not even bothering to manage the company.’

’If it weren’t for the fear that the company going bankrupt would lower Mother’s quality of life, he probably wouldn’t even bother coming back for meetings.’

The thought of their meeting tomorrow filled him with anticipation.

***

The Federation people who pulled an all-nighter discovered that happiness had returned!

Overnight, several familiar songs suddenly appeared on the music platforms.

[Oh my god! Jiang Qin is finally back!]

[Ever since the composer show ended, their platform shut down and all the songs were taken down. I couldn’t even listen to "Blue and White Porcelain" anymore.]

[I still prefer "Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing," but it doesn’t seem to be uploaded tonight? Hasn’t it been recorded yet?]

[The new song chart for August was okay; we had Jiang Qin’s "Once You" and that song "Nameless People" to listen to.]

[This September, there hasn’t been a single good song.]

...

The singer currently at number one on the new song chart was woken up by his manager in the middle of the night.

"Quick, get on the platform and look! That Jiang Qin is back, and she uploaded several songs overnight."

The singer said, somewhat unconcerned, "So what? It’s already September 20th. The month is almost over."

"What if she uploads a hundred songs? She can’t possibly surpass me in the remaining ten days, can she?"

The manager sneered, "Heh, ten days? Of course not. Because she’ll surpass you in three."

"Go on the Star Network and see for yourself. Her new songs, especially ’Ah Diao’ from the championship night—to say their download numbers are skyrocketing is no exaggeration at all."

The singer didn’t believe it and opened the new song chart.

And then he was dumbfounded.

’This is more than just skyrocketing; it’s like riding a rocket straight up!’

’Wait, are all Federation people insomniacs?’

’Why are so many people still on the Star Network downloading songs at this hour?’

Thinking about how the download count would surge again when people woke up tomorrow, he felt like his world was collapsing.

He felt that it probably wouldn’t even take three days. By this time tomorrow, his number one spot would likely be gone.

He might not even have second or third place.

Because following "Ah Diao" were "New Imperial Concubine Drunk," "Night Serenade," "No Place to Hide," and "Chapter."

"Bird of Paradise Song" and "Blue and White Porcelain" were not far behind.

Moreover, Jiang Qin had even uploaded two versions of "Blue and White Porcelain."

One in the official language, and the other in a minority dialect, Cantonese!

This was a move to capture every single music lover out there.

A variety of styles, a variety of languages.

’My god! Is she even human? How can anyone compete with this?’

The singers who had dodged this bullet all felt relieved. They knew that once Jiang Qin returned, she would pull a familiar move like this.

Other people planned their song releases by the number of tracks per year.

She was different. She released a song whenever she had one, sometimes ten in a month, as if they were free.

Under these circumstances, breaking through her barrage of hits with a single song was easier said than done.

So, after analyzing the situation, many singers decided not to release any songs in September either.

When would they release them?

They’d release them when Jiang Qin’s talent ran dry.

They refused to believe that someone could maintain a pace of over ten songs a month for one, two, or even three years.

The moment she slowed down would be their time to shine!

...

After publishing all the songs, Jiang Qin posted a "Goodnight, world" status update and went to rest peacefully.

She completely ignored the fans on the Star Network who were starving for more.

[Even though having so many songs to listen to tonight is great, but... where’s my anime?]

[I can’t wait to rewatch it!]

[+1]

[It probably won’t be that fast. She’ll likely need to partner with a platform.]

[So, Green Apple Video, Azure Video, B-Station, and all you other thousands of platforms, what are you doing? Don’t you know this is a chance to gain new followers?]

Didn’t they know?

Of course they knew!

It had to be said, Jiang Qin’s timing for releasing that anime was perfect.

It instantly captured a huge audience.

If the anime hadn’t just been released like a regular video on the Empire’s streaming platform, it probably would have gotten even higher viewership.

So, even before she returned to the Federation, people were already eyeing the exclusive broadcasting rights for "Initial D."

But the replies to private messages sent to Jiang Qin’s assistant were always, "We’ll consider it and get back to you later."

If they weren’t afraid of being reported, they would have already resorted to threats and bribes.

Unfortunately, the other party was a very famous female, so no matter what ideas they had, they couldn’t act on them openly.

They could only resort to enticements and didn’t dare to use threats.

In order to get the broadcasting rights, their offers kept getting higher and higher.

But Jiang Qin hadn’t decided yet.

Actually, it wasn’t that she hadn’t decided; it was that she didn’t understand these platforms and was afraid of being ripped off.

So she planned to wait until her dinner with Lan Yuyan tomorrow to consult this professional before making a decision.

Quiet moments are always fleeting.

As evening fell, the lights of Central City began to flicker on.

The city, which looked somewhat cold during the day, transformed into a glittering world of extravagance at this moment.

Flying Cars of various colors sped through the night sky, leaving colorful trails behind them.

The city seemed to awaken in the darkness.

Jiang Qin didn’t understand why Interstellar People disliked going out during the day, only to come alive at night as if they’d taken stimulants.

’Perhaps the darkness amplifies loneliness,’ she thought.

’So they need to go out and go wild to escape that magnified negative emotion.’
