The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 276 (Patreon)

Chapter 276

Ling Chunann's album will go on sale in a week. During this time, Star Emperor Entertainment is sparing no effort in its promotion. Coupled with the popularity of the songs Ling Chunann previously uploaded on Music Home, although Ling Chunann is technically still a newcomer in the music scene, it's undeniable that this album is eagerly anticipated by the masses.

Today, Ling Chunann is going to participate in a music talk show to promote his new songs.

Haicheng Satellite TV is a nationally renowned television station with high viewership rates, and its music talk show is highly sought after by many singers. As a newcomer who hasn’t even released an album, Ling Chunann would normally have no chance of being related to this show. However, he has become too famous, with several of his songs reaching the top five on the new song charts and even the top ten on the overall charts. Naturally, Haicheng Satellite TV would not pass up such a promotional opportunity and thus extended an invitation to Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann has participated in many such programs before and had no intention of pretending to be a complete novice. Moreover, with the backing of Star Emperor, it was unlikely for anyone to deliberately cause trouble for him. The host's several sharp questions were also skillfully handled by Ling Chunann, who completed the recording smoothly. Just as Ling Chunann was about to leave, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

098 noticed Ling Chunann's unusual behavior, as well as the tall man who had just entered the building. "Host, do you need me to help you check his specific information?"

"Mm." Ling Chunann responded lightly, then withdrew his gaze, which wasn’t very noticeable to begin with, pulled his hat lower, and walked out through the side door of the building.

Just as Ling Chunann left the building, Ge Lingsheng suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the slender and tall figure, and the agent walking behind him almost bumped into him. "What's wrong?"

Ge Lingsheng is a man with a strong presence, and his more than a decade-long peak career in the music industry has endowed him with an aura of a king. Although he is already over forty, his well-maintained face bears no trace of the years, instead, it has gained a mature charm. Hearing his agent's question, he shook his head, his eyes playful. "Nothing, let's go."

"Host, no abnormalities were detected." 098 reported to Ling Chunann, who had just gotten into the car. It had flipped through the life experiences of the so-called "King of Songs" but found nothing that contradicted the plot.

Ling Chunann stroked his chin thoughtfully, remained silent, and started the car to leave the parking garage.

Chen Ziyao has been very busy these days. Not only does she have to livestream daily, but she also has to find time to practice singing to prepare for her album release. She doesn’t know how Chen Xingyu managed it, but she actually signed a contract with Chengguang Entertainment, which even agreed to let her debut directly. To her question, her dear brother ultimately only gave her a finger and a "secret" as an answer.

However, she was happy because she recently gained a loyal fan who smashes her with a piece of pine forest during every livestream, which is worth one hundred thousand yuan! Even after splitting the revenue with Songguo Livestream, she could still earn sixty thousand, which is more than what she could make in an entire day of tips before.

"Host, why are you smashing money at her again?" 098 was somewhat displeased. Since the first time Ling Chunann tipped Chen Ziyao, every time she livestreamed, he would give her one hundred thousand yuan, despite previously commenting on adults being wasteful.

Somehow, 098 had completely sided with Ling Chunann, fully embracing the role of defending its host's interests, especially keen on protecting the benefits of its own host.

Ling Chunann turned off the livestream window and said with a smile, "Her album is releasing next Wednesday."

098 had a thought. "Do you intend to deal with her?"

Ling Chunann raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking? We are in a fair competition."

"..."

After finishing the conversation with 098, Ling Chunann leaned back in his chair, half-closing his eyes.

Now was not the time.

Although the bug 098 mentioned before had been fixed, Ling Chunann didn't fully trust it, especially after coming to this world. This feeling became stronger, perhaps due to the enhancement of the original force. He could vaguely feel that this world was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface, especially after changing part of the main storyline. He found that new forces had intervened in this world, and that force was not weaker than Qin Muhe.

Of course, Ling Chunann was referring to the now

nurtured Qin Muhe. Although still somewhat inferior to him, it was enough to prove the other party was not simple.

At first, Ling Chunann thought this force would fall on the first female lead, so he asked 098 to monitor An Yu. But now, it has disappeared.

Thinking of the man he saw in the TV station building that afternoon, a deep thought flashed in Ling Chunann's eyes. "098."

"Yes, host."

"In what situations would a medium world have two or more taskers?"

"Host, only in a special world above a high-level world would there be more than two taskers. Usually, taskers in such worlds might even compete with each other. You are currently in a medium world, so this situation is impossible." 098 answered. "Host, why did you suddenly think to ask this?"

"Nothing, just curious. Can taskers interfere with each other?"

"Yes, if the tasks of taskers contradict each other, they can form a legitimate competitive relationship. The loser will be judged as failing the task and will undergo the failure penalty. However, if a tasker is killed by another tasker, then he will never be able to return to the task space, and his soul will be directly erased. The victorious tasker will directly gain all the remaining energy points of the failed tasker."

098's previous hosts have never made it to a special world, but every system's programmed instructions include these items.

Special worlds are akin to purgatory for all high-level taskers, where every task is a test of death. However, Ling Chunann's current energy points still categorize him as a mid-level tasker, far from a special world.

Thinking this, 098 breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly thought of a possibility, instantly feeling a chill. "Host, did you find another tasker in this world?"

Without answering 098's question, Ling Chunann tapped the armrest of his chair and spoke in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "Can systems in the same world sense each other?"

"Host, no. After binding to a host, systems can only possibly communicate with each other after returning to the task space."

That is, if this is a special world, in identifying taskers, 098 would be of no help to Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann wasn’t discouraged by this; he quickly thought through his current situation. After 098's explanation, he had basically locked the target of the tasker to Ge Lingsheng, who had been acting a bit strange these days, especially this afternoon. Although he didn’t look back at the time, he still clearly felt the playfulness in that man’s eyes, as well as a kind of condescension.

Obviously, the other party already knew he was a tasker but didn’t know exactly what he wanted to do. These few intentional shows of goodwill, Ling Chunann didn’t believe the other party wanted to be friends. On the contrary, he preferred to interpret it as a kind of provocation.

This world is indeed not simple. Ling Chunann was very satisfied with his judgment. Although he felt a sense of urgency, he was more excited about the new challenges. "098, help me organize all the information on Ge Lingsheng."

"Organizing all the detailed information may take some time. Please be patient, host."

Ling Chunann's album was released smoothly. Due to the extensive promotion beforehand and the high quality of the album's songs, it received widespread acclaim as soon as it was released, with sales volumes soaring, rivaling that of popular first-line singers.

However, Ling Chunann wasn’t particularly joyful about this situation. This was a result he deserved. After the signing event in the first three days, he returned to his and Qin Muhe's nest, stating to the public that he was going to retreat to write new songs.

Chen Ziyao, biting her pen, stared at the data on the screen. Su Su's new album broke three million sales in three days, with an average daily sales exceeding one million. This was something she never expected. This was unimaginable in the domain of music industry newcomers.

She couldn't understand why her brother insisted on releasing her album three days after Su Su. As a newcomer, she admitted she wasn’t as good-looking as Su Su, nor was her singing as good. Although she was confident in Chen Xingyu's songs, she never thought about competing with Su Su, especially since this was almost a guaranteed loss.

The sound system played Su Su's new song, and after listening to a song in a daze, Chen Ziyao buried her head in her arms, feeling defeated. Despite feeling inferior, she still wanted to win.

The next day, Chen Ziyao saw her irresponsible agent brother at the new album launch. Seemingly noticing her worries, Chen Xingyu was full of confidence, whispering reassurances, "Don't worry, sister, the Best New Artist

award will definitely be yours this year."

At that moment, the host's impassioned voice came, "Please welcome a special guest to boost the event!"

Seeing the man who walked out from backstage, whether it was the reporters or the audience, everyone was ecstatic.

"It's King Ge!"

"King Ge actually came to a newcomer's album launch!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah! I love you, King Ge!!"

...

"Host, I've organized all of Ge Lingsheng's life information. Do you want me to transfer it to you?" 098, after spending several days organizing materials, finally finished.

"Mm, transfer it to my computer."

It wasn't that 098 was slow, but the man's life was too rich. Whether it was clipping videos or organizing text and pictures, it was a huge project. It took nearly half an hour to transfer all the data to the computer.

Qin Muhe walked into the room, glanced at the computer screen that had captured all of his darling's attention, and was surprised to find it was another man's information, detailed down to what he ate for meals. Silently noting the name, he then wrapped his arms around Ling Chunann from behind and kissed him on his pink earlobe, softening his voice, "Darling, it's time to eat."

Ling Chunann casually closed the computer, turned around to kiss the man on the lips, and then opened his arms. Qin Muhe chuckled lowly, obligingly picking up Ling Chunann, then discontentedly jostled him, "Darling is still so thin, you need to eat more."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Chunann unceremoniously bit down on Qin Muhe's chin, "Ow! Darling, darling, that's going to leave a mark, let's bite somewhere else."
