Chapter 518: Chapter 518 What Else Do You Want to Say

Singers collaborated to suppress Earth Bar, causing two of Earth Bar’s high-quality songs to drop in rankings.

The song "Wings" already fell to tenth place, and I believe it was also ranked twelfth.

Nian Shutong looked at the list and sneered, "Perfect timing."

The third song, released.

A "ding" sound rang out, and many people saw Earth Bar release its third song.

He had more songs?

The first two songs would have definitely been in the top ten if they hadn’t been sabotaged, but Earth Bar, being targeted, managed to get only one song on the list, and it was at the bottom.

Just when everyone thought it was over, he uploaded again.

Everyone reluctantly clicked to open Earth Bar’s new song, "War World."

The heavy metal hammering sound, the plucking of strings sharply intensifying, a woman’s voice emerged.

"Looking at the silent, unspoken world."

"The despair is so intense."

"People frantically scatter from the once bustling street."

"The smell of gunpowder causes all life to wither."

"The cry of the earth spreads across the world."

...

"That boy who rides a bike selling newspapers, his eyes, full of tears, slowly and quietly run down his face."

"The moment war broke out, faith within the whole world was extinguished."

...

A thrilling war song described the scenes of war from another angle, silencing its listeners.

Even older people recalled their youth when the Insect Race invaded Human lands, such a tragic scene.

Star Blog, Earth Bar posted again.

Earth Bar V: "What else do you want?"

A glaring question, "You who seek war, take this war."

At this moment, the competition seems to be not just about the chart rankings anymore, but more like a contest of wills.

All the singers and songwriters wondered: Does Earth Bar really have more songs?

They didn’t believe it.

As for the rankings, set that aside for now, they just wanted to match Earth Bar’s challenge.

The comment section erupted again, all targeting one thing.

"The song is quite good, but the lyrics are too blunt."

"Yeah, indeed, there are some flaws in the lyrics."

"It seems like the lyrics of Earth Bar’s songs are just so-so, very simple."

"Shouldn’t he be a poet?"

"Who said poets must know how to write song lyrics?"

All the points of contention focused on the lyrics: your music is fine, your composition is fine, but we are not convinced. Show us what you’ve got!

Nian Shutong naturally wasn’t afraid at all. What did she have to fear?

She wasn’t actually writing them herself, couldn’t she just plagiarize?

The fourth song was uploaded and released; this time two "dings" sounded.

One went to the song chart, and another to the poetry chart.

Nian Shutong, looking at both charts, cheerfully said, "Perfect, killing two birds with one stone."

At this moment, many people were closely watching the song chart, wondering if Earth Bar would really release a fourth song.

Just when everyone was skeptical, the chart alerted them that Earth Bar’s fourth new song was released.

You actually have another?

This was everyone’s initial thought, but according to everyone’s expectations, this should be a song with excellent lyrics. But could it really be done?

Click, play.

A soft, ethereal woman’s voice began amidst gentle music, but all this wasn’t the focus—the lyrics she sang, what were they?

"Bright moon, when did it appear? I raise my cup and ask the blue sky."

"I don’t know the palaces above the sky, what year is it tonight?"

"I wish to ride the wind and return, but fear the crystal towers."

"The heights are too cold."

"Dancing with my shadow, what is it like to be in the human world?"

...

"Humans have sorrow and joy, reunions and goodbyes, the moon waxes and wanes."

"Such is the way of old, hard to be perfect; but wish for eternal longevity, a thousand miles sharing the beauty."

Once Su Shi came forward, who could surpass him by even a notch?

Such words, no one even qualified to judge.

For there was ironclad evidence slapped across their faces—the poem was simultaneously posted on the poetry rankings by Nian Shutong.

It really was just a blink of an eye, and the poem had climbed to third place, its numbers still rising rapidly, second place was nearly reached, even the first place was not safe anymore.

The poetry ranking list said it all, what right do you have to criticize its quality?

At this moment, all the collaborative singers fell somewhat silent, seemingly having nothing left to say.

But still feeling somewhat unconvinced, what’s going on?

Shall we try again?

At this moment, many netizens in the comments section were reading into it.

[Is Earth Bar being targeted?]

[Seems like it, the comments have been criticizing Earth Bar’s insufficiency, aren’t they joking?]

[Isn’t this good enough? The quality each year isn’t even up to par with theirs.]

[I’m going to vote.]

[Me too.]

Netizens actually began to flood votes to Earth Bar. All four of Earth Bar’s songs made the list, yet didn’t break the first place.

Because in first place was Bai Ge, her entry a pure instrumental piece, which seemed more sophisticated and of course, sounded great.

In the comments, some people kept saying that Earth Bar could only write songs, and they probably weren’t good at something high-level like pure instrumentals.

Seeing this comment, Nian Shutong didn’t even have time for a cold laugh before she released a fifth song.

With a "ding," many felt their hearts skip.

No way?

You’re doing this again?

A familiar name, familiar tactics.

Could this be an instrumental?

When everyone clicked to listen, from the very first note, they were captivated.

Bai Ge, who had consistently held first place, had only one thought after listening—she had lost, completely.

After this defeat, she felt no resentment at all.

Instead, she really wanted to meet this Earth Bar, if she could collaborate just once, her career would definitely soar.

"One Victory," silenced everyone.

It was precisely this piece of pure music that left listeners with just one feeling—they wanted to fight.

Every segment, every passage, gave a different sensation.

The army approaching, troops at the city gates, drum sounds rising, the whole army ready for battle, eventually inspiring shouts and vows, swearing to die for the country, people fighting bravely, enemy troops routed, celebrating victory yet with a hint of sorrow.

A complete battle, depicted one by one.

Just by listening, visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood filled the mind.

Everybody backed down, no one could stop the march of such a genius.

In the comments, every forum, any criticism about Earth Bar vanished, replaced by genuine, admiring comments.

Nian Shutong was about to release a sixth piece, but seeing everyone back down, she too decided to quit while ahead.

She had proven her point, that was enough.

But, to ensure her ranking stayed high, she decided to still ask for a bit of external help.

Others have their Water Army, she has Xiao He.

A single river, way mightier than one Water Army, or even all their Water Armies combined.
