As one might expect, after thinking for a long time, Qin Mu couldn't figure out where he went wrong and was then driven out by an even angrier Ling Chunann.
Watching the dejected adult being turned away, 098 couldn't help but feel a moment of sympathy, then felt relieved that its host hadn't driven it away. It carefully observed Ling Chunann's expression, thinking how terrifying it was when the host was angry.
At this moment, Ling Chunann had already resumed his usual expression and walked towards the dining room with light steps, even humming a song, showing no signs of the stormy mood from just before.
"Host, you're not angry anymore?"
"When was I ever angry?" Ling Chunann countered.
Ling Chunann was indeed very angry when he discovered Qin Mu's weakened primal energy. However, seeing the man's guilty face, wanting to explain but not knowing what to say, his anger dissipated. As for driving him out, it was just a small lesson.
After leisurely finishing his brunch, Ling Chunann studied various cultures of this world. Seeing the time, he put on a coat and went to open the door.
Qin Mu, who had been standing at the door since being driven out, lit up with joy, "Baby."
Ling Chunann hummed in response and walked back, "Come in."
Qin Mu followed behind Ling Chunann, saying as they walked, "I know where I went wrong."
"Oh? Where?"
"I was wrong because I didn't know where I went wrong," Qin Mu said, revealing the answer he had pondered over for a long time, "Sorry."
Ling Chunann stopped abruptly and turned to look into Qin Mu's eyes.
Seeing Ling Chunann looking over, Qin Mu involuntarily tensed up, feeling guilty.
After a moment, Ling Chunann looked away, his tone neutral, "Come in."
"Okay." Qin Mu felt even more guilty.
Once in the living room, Ling Chunann maintained his indifferent expression, "Go cook now, then go back and move your things."
"Alright." Qin Mu obediently responded and headed towards the kitchen.
After taking a few steps, Qin Mu suddenly froze. Did Ling Chunann just tell him to go back and move his things? To where?
Seeing the man's stiff figure, Ling Chunann couldn't help but burst into laughter, finding his confused state adorable.
Realizing he had been teased, Qin Mu couldn't get angry at all. Seeing Ling Chunann laugh, he couldn't help but smile as well, thoughtfully smoothing over the situation.
098: "..." The adult is too good-tempered.
As Ling Chunann himself said, he's not a petty person, but he holds grudges. After all, this guy had put him through so much trouble this time, even if it was for him, it wasn't acceptable.
After confirming Ling Chunann's intentions, Qin Mu's silly smile, which Ling Chunann found annoying, never ceased. If Ling Chunann hadn't reminded him, he almost cut his fingers while cooking. Though Ling Chunann wouldn't mind eating cooked meat, he wasn't interested in finger parts with little meat; better to save them for stir-frying.
Luckily, Qin Mu's cooking skills were unaffected. Although not as good as his own, Ling Chunann was quite satisfied.
Just after finishing the meal, Ling Chunann's doorbell rang again.
"Baby, it's my luggage being delivered." Qin Mu said.
That was fast, Ling Chunann wiped his mouth, "Go open the door." Seeing the man's expectant look, he internally rolled his eyes, "Let them bring the stuff to the master bedroom." He added, "Sort it out yourself."
"Yes!" Qin Mu responded, "Leave the dishes; I'll wash them later."
After Qin Mu left, Ling Chunann headed upstairs to the study. Although there shouldn't be any issues with Qin Mu, it's better the fewer people know about his gender for now.
Despite being just some office items and regular clothes, Qin Mu had quite a lot of stuff, requiring several trips by the servants to finish moving.
Seeing the somewhat messy pile of items, Qin Mu bowed, "Mr. Qin, do you need our help with sorting?"
"No need." Qin Mu replied emotionlessly, "You can go back."
The servants bowed again, "Alright."
Once outside, the muscular bodyguard, who had been dragged along for manual labor, couldn't help but ask, "Butler Qin, why did Mr. Qin suddenly move?" They had inquired before; the new owner of this villa was a very pretty girl, and although the room was elegantly decorated, from the details, it was obviously a girl's room, "Did Mr. Qin fall in love? That was rather quick."
Butler Qin glanced at the gossiping bodyguard, "Talk less, work more."
"Yes."
Music Home is the largest and most authoritative music
software in Huaguo, featuring almost all the country's songs. Whether amateur or celebrity, as long as the song is original, it can be uploaded. The popularity of the songs is purely based on heat.
Of course, there's also hype by agencies in this world, so most of the top-ranked songs are from various singers, making it very hard for amateur songs to become popular.
What interested Ling Chunann was that this world's copyright consciousness was very mature. Whether streaming or downloading, it costs money – one jiao per song for streaming and one yuan for downloading. The public seemed fully accustomed to this model.
Chen Ziyao is a college student, a bit different from other ordinary college students, she studies music, aiming to become a singer. To keep up with real-time music trends, she habitually browses Music Home for new songs.
That night, she habitually opened the latest uploaded songs list, only to be disappointed that not a single song was uploaded in the last two hours, and the quality of the previous few songs was not great. Just as she was about to close it, she noticed a newly uploaded song.
"Su Su? Never heard of this singer. 'Youth' is such a common name." Thinking this, she quickly clicked to play, but her attention wasn't really on it. She picked up the mouthwash cup on the table, ready to go brush her teeth.
The prelude was a refreshing guitar sound, the melody very simple but unexpectedly pleasant. Chen Ziyao paused, involuntarily stopping.
"I hear the wind passing by, the sunlight kissing the flowers..."
Like its melody, the lyrics were simple and upbeat, the soft female voice making one feel brightened up immediately. After listening once, Chen Ziyao could hum along. The song wasn't long, just over three minutes, and seemed to have a magical power, making one unable to stop listening. Chen Ziyao looped it almost ten times before realizing she forgot to download it, given that streaming costs money each time!
"This song will definitely be a hit!" After downloading, Chen Ziyao excitedly jumped up, proud to be the first to discover it.
Hastily opening the comments, intending to type, she suddenly saw many comments already there.
"Entered from the homepage recommendation, hadn't heard of this singer before, thought Music Home posted the wrong ad, but the song is so good, liked."
"Su Su's number one fan reporting, Su Su goddess's song is indeed beautiful!"
"Su Su's number two fan reporting, Su Su is so fast! Just said she would upload a song, and it's already up!"
"So so beautiful! Will Su Su be on Pinecone tomorrow? I have a pine forest to give you."
"The song is good, but why is it on the homepage? Never heard of this singer."
...
Homepage recommendation? Chen Ziyao was shocked, clicking on the homepage to find the song prominently featured on Music Home's homepage.
And Pinecone, seeing this name, Chen Ziyao couldn't help but pull out her phone, dialing a number, "Bro, aren't you streaming on Pinecone? I have something to ask you..."
Naturally, Ling Chunann heard the noise of moving things outside, not caring how Qin Mu was sorting things, he opened the computer in the study, entering Music Home.
After checking the backend, Ling Chunann glanced at the song's listening and download counts – over seven million listens and three million downloads, generating revenue of over 3.8 million yuan, even though the song had been uploaded for just about twenty hours.
This performance wasn't just good; it was exceptional.
This data was comparable to top singers, and Ling Chunann had only streamed once yesterday, attracting over three million viewers. By his calculations, the download count in twenty-four hours should be between five hundred thousand to seven hundred thousand.
Thinking this, Ling Chunann opened Music Home's homepage, finding his song prominently displayed in the recommendation spot, a place usually reserved for top singers. Who did this was obvious.
Ling Chunann glared at Qin Mu who quietly entered, that guy.
"Baby, the previous song was suspected of plagiarism, so your song was used as a temporary replacement. The next recommendation wasn't decided, it won't cause any trouble." Qin Mu explained, then smiled appeasingly, "If you don't like it, I won't do it again."
"What companies do you have?" Ling Chunann asked.
Qin Mu brightened up immediately, enthusiastically introducing, "I have many companies under me, including several entertainment ones. If you're interested, I'll sort them out for you. Just tell me if you see anything you like."
"Not interested." Knowing this person was serious, Ling Chunann immediately refused.
Qin Mu quickly caught on, "Right, managing companies is too troublesome. Whatever you want to do, just order me."
Although Ling Chunann expressed disinterest, Qin Mu still went to fetch
the documents. Ling Chunann glanced again at the rising data in Music Home's backend, "098, are you sure this is a medium-level world?"
"Yes, host." 098 answered.
"This mission is too unchallenging."
098: "..." Only its host would think so. In this world, firstly, the male lead has a system as a golden finger, and secondly, the mission requires the participant to obtain the highest international singer's honor while posing as a woman, an impossible task for most participants.
As 098 was lost in thought, Ling Chunann stroked his chin, "I feel like things aren't this simple."
"What?"
Ling Chunann didn't answer 098, yawned, turned off the computer, and headed to the master bedroom.
