The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 517 Is It Strong Enough?

Chapter 517: Chapter 517 Is It Strong Enough?

A song with invisible wings, after which everyone was silent.

This song made everyone realize something: a song that inspires advancement doesn’t necessarily need a high-pitched tune—gentle, comfortable, and progressively layered songs can achieve the same effect.

Perhaps even do it better.

But is this a concession to defeat?

For many singers on the charts, this is unacceptable. The number one spot is very important. Currently at the top of the chart is Queen of Heaven Bai Ge’s song, "Hope."

The first place on the chart earns ten thousand contribution points, the second place gets five thousand—there’s a significant difference of five thousand contribution points.

No one is willing to give up.

An Earth Bar song was quickly discovered by netizens, and its rank continued to rise steadily. In just one hour, it had climbed into the top ten, securing fourth place.

But it seemed not so easy to climb further from there.

On Star Network, under the charts in the comments section.

This area was filled with the Water Army from every singer. Voting was only one aspect; the Water Army could guide public opinion in the comment section, which was also very important.

Sometimes, it’s hard for most people to stand by their choices. When many say something is not good, and repeating it enough times, you also start to believe it.

At that moment, the comment section of Earth Bar received a barrage of strategic comments from various singers’ Water Armies.

He was targeted by all the singers together.

They did not want a newcomer, just making his debut, to overshadow them. It was embarrassing for them to lose unclearly to a robot.

So, the multiple singers’ Water Armies simultaneously began attacking the new song of Earth Bar.

"The song ’Wings’ isn’t bad, it just sounds too soft."

"I feel the same; it’s inspiring but lacks energy."

"I think so too."

"I like it a lot. It seems like people here don’t appreciate this song?"

"It seems so, but ’Wings’ at this rank is quite fair since it’s Earth Bar’s first time attempting to climb the charts."

"That’s true."

"Still lacks something."

In the comment section and even on other websites related to ranking, they carried the sentiment that this song was too soft, lacking energy.

Gradually, Earth Bar’s fourth-place position dropped to ninth.

The top ten of the chart all earn contribution points, but while the first earns ten thousand, the second earns five thousand, the third four thousand, the fourth three and a half thousand, and the fifth three thousand.

Subsequent rankings decrease by five hundred, with the tenth place earning only five hundred points.

The ninth place earns only one thousand points.

Nian Shutong naturally wasn’t satisfied with these one thousand contribution points. She had just released her first song and was constantly watching the charts and reading the comments.

Not energetic enough?

Then how about a song that has enough energy? Who said you could only release one song?

The whole chart event didn’t limit the number of releases, but writing songs is talent-limited.

Some had tried to increase their numbers in hopes of getting a better rank.

But it didn’t work.

Without strong talent, the netizens are not convinced.

A "ding—" sound occurred, and the second song was uploaded.

At the same time, Daodao uploaded his novel on the platform, still a masterpiece, but not the next installment of The Three Heroes Trilogy; instead, it was the peak work of the old master, The Eight Trigrams.

Daodao uploaded it to the novel leaderboard, which was a bit special.

You couldn’t expect everyone to finish reading all the long novels within ten days; it wasn’t realistic.

So this leaderboard took into account any long novels written within the previous year.

At that moment, Heroic Legend of the Condor and The Return of the Condor Heroes, one ranked third and the other sixth, were both notable on the chart along with Immortal Slaying, which was in the thirteenth position.

The leaderboard’s books were not new, so when Daodao’s new book was released, many wondered:

Can it be finished in time?

Regardless, once Daodao was done, he didn’t focus on it anymore. He had been following Nian Shutong around and hadn’t had the chance to upload his works.

Now he was organizing other short stories, which were quicker to handle.

Daodao got busy; Nian Shutong continued to monitor the follow-up of her second song.

Earth Bar released a second song!

When the singers on the leaderboard saw Earth Bar drop to ninth place, they were delighted, and their Water Army intensified their efforts to squeeze Earth Bar out of the chart.

But why had he released another song?

Could it be he was so confident that the second song was also good?

These professional singers and songwriters, after going through lengthy processes, could craft one or two songs.

But everyone usually chose to release only one; what was Earth Bar up to?

Regardless, it was time to listen first.

With stirring music and a sudden high note from a male singer, it started with a climax.

"I believe, making a grand entrance."

"I want to fly to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun."

"The world is waiting for me to change."

"I want to dream without fear of others seeing, for everything can be realized here."

...

"I believe I am who I am, I believe in tomorrow."

"I believe that youth knows no bounds."

...

"I believe in being free and easy, I believe in hope."

"I believe that I can touch the sky if I reach out."

...

As the song ended, those who listened couldn’t help but shake their bodies or nod their heads continuously.

Even the simple melody had everyone humming the chorus spontaneously by the end.

More excitingly, Earth Bar had posted on Star Blog.

Star Blog, Earth Bar.

Earth Bar V: Is it energetic enough?

This single sentence was full of provocation.

Seeing this message, various people immediately understood it was directed at them.

Earth Bar knew their maneuvers, their intentions.

They had operated in the shadows, but Earth Bar insisted on bringing it into the light.

This instantly ignited everyone’s competitive spirit.

However competitive, the rational singers didn’t say anything on Star Blog, but their Water Army might not be the same.

In the song leaderboard’s comment section.

"The new song from Earth Bar is much more invigorating, but we are the fighting nation."

"Yep, it’s a bit immature."

"Not looking far enough."

"Look at Shu Cheng’s songs, written for those who fight, they’re high-end and classy."

"It’s quite good for the first time trying to climb the charts, right?"

"How is this song not good? I didn’t realize the recent standards had gotten so high?"

Nian Shutong was monitoring this all along, never one to be soft-hearted.

Since you’re ganging up against me, I’ll use Earth’s song library against you, very fair.

"Ah, I initially wanted to secure a top-three finish, leaving a bit of room for everyone. But now, it seems unnecessary."
