Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Far Ahead Chapter 246: Chapter 247: Far Ahead In the private room, the man being watched didn’t beat around the bush.

“I know someone from Earth Bar, a poet, President Yu of the Poetry Club has recommended his poems several times, they are really top-notch.”

“The signature I’m using now, the ridiculously insane one, he wrote that.”

“Let me tell you——
“Wait.” Shu Cheng couldn’t believe it and stood up, skeptically asking, “How are you sure this Earth Bar is a human?”

“Because he had written a song before, called ‘Stubborn,’ which is quite pleasant to listen to.”

The man’s nonchalant statement reminded Shu Cheng of something, his agent seemed interested in covering a song, also named ‘Stubborn.’
Could it be such a coincidence?

Had he inadvertently promoted someone right to their doorstep?

Moreover, how could a poet outperform them, the professional singers?

So you’re great at writing lyrics, fine.

You’re great at arranging music, fine.

You’re great at composing music, fine.

But why does your robot sing with more emotion than him, the King of Songs?

How could this be possible?

Even if Shu Cheng were to cover this song, he felt he couldn’t surpass this robot.

What was this!

“Shu Cheng, shall we play it again? I didn’t catch it well just now.”

The suggestion from one person received support from a few others, what could Shu Cheng say?

Shu Cheng said to his friends, “In the future, let’s not celebrate too early.”

“Agreed.”

“You’re right.”

“Play music!”

The music of Alone Brave played again. This time everyone listened seriously to the entire song, and after listening, they all felt the loss was fair.

Meanwhile, the vast online community was also buzzing.

Anyone who had listened to this song felt a bit regretful about having voted for their idol;
it felt slightly guilt-inducing.

Secondly, the main audience for this song was those behind the battlefield; they were silent when they heard this song.

In a certain interstellar battlefield’s rear.

Noon, canteen.

Every other day’s lunch, you could eat a rice meal, especially since seafood had been widely utilized after the rise of Little River Live.

Today as everyone entered the cafeteria, the logistics officer stood in front, and talked about the song selection.

“Listen while eating later; after all, it’s an event held for us, choose something you like.”

After the officer spoke briefly, he too went down to eat.

Today’s menu was tofu stewed fish.

Though tofu wasn’t sold in Shutong’s small shop anymore, the recipe had been uploaded in a video on Little River Live.

Places like the Legion were ideal for such food since soybeans were cheap, and even soybean sprouts thrived well.

The logistics workers, with their trays filled with food, took their seats and singing had already started above.

The first song, so soft, was it really written for us? Or a love song intended for a lover?

The second song, just so-so, nothing special.

The third song, almost done with the meal but not the song, are we supposed to stay or leave?

The fourth song, the fifth song, the sixth song…

The more they listened, the more uninterested they became. What were these songs!

Many people were already walking towards the door, and if not for the supervisor’s presence, they would have wanted to leave earlier.

The tenth song, Alone Brave’s song arrived.

For some reason, footsteps seemed to slow down.

As the previous song played, line by line, it seemed to slowly crawl into their hearts.

“Who says those covered in mud aren’t heroes?”

A phrase that struck straight to the heart.

Those eating stopped chewing, and those at the door drew their legs back in.

Many listened intently, afraid to miss a single word.

When the first chorus ended, everyone stopped.

The supervisor, with his back to everyone else, secretly wiped the corner of his eye. This song…

It was written for them.

“Who says only those in the light are heroes?”

Right! Who did say that?

They worked quietly and namelessly in the background, never daring to relax.

They were heroes in their own right.

One song truly resonated.

After the song ended, the cafeteria fell silent.

The second, third, fourth time…

The song was played countless times.

Finally, one person, one sentence, broke the heart-wrenching silence.

“Vote!”

That call to vote snapped everyone out of their reveries.

Vote!

They had to vote!

If this song didn’t win, they’d call it quits!

That was the sentiment of so many people.

The cafeteria scene rivaled that of a major marketing event.

“Honey, vote! Yes, for Alone Brave! Make sure not to vote for the wrong one!”

“Have everyone in our family vote.”

“So what if our son is only three months old? He has a Light Computer, so vote!”

The logistical staff went crazy, mobilizing every resource they could to vote.

The song had to win.

This was not only the sentiment of everyone there but also of the First Officer of the Legion, watching everything unfold from outside.

If this song didn’t win, the Legion’s logistical department would surely go into an uproar, affecting the harmony within the Legion.

It seemed a major issue had arisen. The First Officer straightened his military cap and left to issue the task of voting.

Our front line must be in complete accord with our own logistics.

On the Star Network, when the ten songs were first released, Lin Sen’s song was initially in first place, breaking a hundred million votes, showing the power of his fanbase.

In second place was Shu Cheng, just shy of a hundred million.

Following that was Bai Ge, with only a few hundred votes separating him from second place.

Alone Brave started off behind but surged to second place by noon, swiftly catching up with first place.

Just after noon, Alone Brave had surpassed Lin Sen’s votes, and the numbers kept changing, skyrocketing past two hundred million.

He took the lead, pulling away from the second place by an ever-increasing margin.

Once he ranked first, even more people heard of the song, more people started listening, and more people began to vote.

By six in the evening, the rankings on the Star Network:
Alone Brave–Earth Bar, 1.1 billion.

Love–Lin Sen, 200 million.

Praising–Shu Cheng, 200 million.

You and I–Bai Ge, 200 million.

…

The gap between the three was really small, but the gap with the first place, Alone Brave, was truly vast.

So vast it was insurmountable, let alone surpassable.

In that case, they might as well join in.

Star Blog.

Lin Sen was the first to promote the song by Alone Brave.

Lin Sen: Alone Brave, the absolute King of Songs!

Bai Ge: Loved it, so energizing.

Shu Cheng: No shame in losing, wholeheartedly accepting.

The three big celebrities, each with followers in the hundreds of millions, began promoting the song.

Alone Brave and Earth Bar, these two phrases, became widely known among interstellar netizens, and more and more people started to look for who Earth Bar really was.

Could it be a major figure in disguise?
