The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 516: The Crazy Contribution Points

Chapter 516: Chapter 516: The Crazy Contribution Points

Nian Shutong carefully read the rules and had a rough understanding.

The first ten days of the First Year, every entertainment project on Star Network, such as novels, songs, movies, TV shows, live broadcasts, etc., would have a ranking climb activity.

The ranking climb was based on popularity, ranking each project.

At the zero hour of the Interstellar First Year, those in the top ten of the ranking climb would receive different amounts of contribution points.

Entertainment projects would opt to release new works in the last ten days to attract a massive amount of popularity.

Nian Shutong was considering the projects she had on hand, live broadcasts, novels, poetry, songs; she had a public identity to participate in these projects.

First, she would grab a batch of contribution points.

"Daodao, time to get to work."

"I’m here! Master."

Nian Shutong briefed Daodao about this Star Network ranking climb.

"Master, I’ve already chosen a novel, I’ll go publish it now!"

"Great! I’ll find some songs myself, choose a few more, the ranking climb didn’t stipulate that you could only climb with one."

Nian Shutong’s smile carried a tinge of ambition. Daodao, upon hearing her words, had a flash of inspiration.

"Master, there are also many types of novels!"

"Participate in all of them! We have an entire Earth, we can’t be outdone by them!"

"Okay!"

Both started taking action, and even the system’s Seed Xiao Ba came over to help.

Nian Shutong and Daodao were in charge of searching, while Seed Xiao Ba was responsible for identifying on Star Network which activities could enter the competition.

"Host, you can currently participate in songs, poetry, children’s stories, short stories, novels, short videos, and live broadcasts."

"Got it, any particular theme or message?"

Nian Shutong felt there always needed to be a theme; otherwise, it would be tough to choose.

Mainly because there were too many resources and even more quality content, it was overwhelming.

Others in the scramble for rankings did not know this; otherwise, they would be desperately wanting to knock her down with a big stick.

The kind of feeling where even beating her to death wouldn’t soothe their anger.

Every year-end, many celebrities and newcomers would choose to scramble for the rankings; some prepared for it for as long as a year, and their finely crafted work naturally was outstanding.

Thus, the competition each year was so fierce that mere words could not describe it.

Because this was the last competition within the year for contribution points.

"Host, themes are not limited; it’s free to play, but Xiao Ba thinks it’s better to maintain a positive and uplifting direction."

"Uh-huh, got it."

Nian Shutong continued looking for songs, while Daodao searched for a novel.

As for poetry, she planned to invite all the great poets like Immortal and Sanctified Poets, so there was no rush.

Nian Shutong was the first to finish selecting, logging into her Earth Bar account and uploading a song to the ranking site.

"Ding—"

Upload complete.

Nian Shutong looked at the song that had just been uploaded and quickly received a click. She nodded, "Let’s start with one song to test the waters."

Currently, the topics on Star Network were all centered around rank climbing.

During the last ten days of the year on Star Network’s largest sites, it was free of charge, unlike usual times when you had to pay for some content.

The competition in the last ten days truly accounted for the saying: genuine liking is true liking.

Despite some hiring Water Armies to climb the rankings and boost popularity, compared to the vast number of people in the interstellar community, the influence of the Water Army was minuscule, and their impact was barely noticeable.

Thus, for many years, the rank-climbing events each year were considered a reflection of the real data and were widely accepted by the interstellar community.

During these ten days, the interstellar people worked for the first five and were usually off for the last five. Of course, some places started their holidays earlier and had more time off.

Overall, during this period, people had money, leisure, and time.

Many people would watch the rankings, freely listen to songs, read novels, and even catch up on a movie or TV show.

Every device at their disposal was put to use, all for the ten days of free fun.

Most importantly, the interstellar citizens felt they wielded great power, as each person had ten votes for each project, which they could cast for their favorites.

For example, with songs, there were thousands or even tens of thousands to choose from, but you had ten votes to select ten songs.

Each song could only receive one vote.

The people of the interstellar community were accustomed to everything about the rankings, so they would willingly use the last few days to determine their favorite songs, currently in a wait-and-see mood.

Of course, this didn’t include the fans.

They would cast their first vote for their idol, but that was it; multiple votes were not allowed.

At this moment, on Star Network.

After Earth Bar’s song was uploaded, a notification would appear on the song rankings.

On everyone’s Light Computer page, if you were listening to songs, a small dialogue box would pop up on your music page, alerting you to who had just released a new song.

It was now the eighth day from the end. On the first day, the tenth day in reverse, almost ninety-nine percent of the singers had uploaded their songs.

With only ten days in total, if you were slow, wouldn’t you be waiting for a lower popularity?

Currently, the top ten places on the rankings were almost exclusively well-known singers, such as the Love Song Prince Lin Sen, Shu Cheng, Bai Ge, and other famous artists.

But many people were still waiting for someone: Earth Bar.

This Earth Bar had emerged from nowhere this year, sweeping nearly a year’s worth of contribution points, leaving these singers without even a taste of the soup.

Not to mention this person openly used robots to sing songs, yet still denied it, claiming that their singer was called Earth people.

Not even bothering to find a good excuse, just a blatant brush-off.

In the singer’s circle, everyone had a bit of expectation for Earth Bar, not for how good he was, but for him to come forward quickly.

They didn’t believe that Earth Bar alone could beat all the singers.

How could a songwriter who did not use "Human" singers always win?

Dissatisfaction was a common sentiment.

When Earth Bar released a new song, many attentive singers and fans became aware.

They opened the song immediately, ready to listen.

The songwriter was still Earth Bar, and the performer was still Earth people.

The song’s title was "Invisible Wings."

When everyone clicked on the song, the simple melody was catchy; amidst the calm, a woman’s voice emerged.

"Every time, lingering alone yet strong."

"Every time, even though in pain and hurt, no tears shine."

...

"Finally, I can see all dreams come into bloom."

"Young and chasing, our voices so clear and loud."

"Finally, I soar, gazing with heart, fearless of dread."

"Wherever there is wind, let’s fly as far as we can."

A song called "Invisible Wings" began an unforgettable ranking activity for the year.

The entire event made everyone, whether they knew Earth Bar or not, deeply remember one thing.

Earth Bar’s Earth people were truly frightening.
