Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

"Uh, zombies are not mortals, nor are they ghosts or gods," Bai Qianqu patiently explained to everyone. "They are a product of scientific creation."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Can zombies be artificially created?

"Could it be that some Taoist priest, priest, or magician summoned it using an ancient formation?"

"That's not science either."

"Scientists creating monsters? That sounds interesting. I thought they only created intelligent robots."

Little Rabbit: "Are you being polite?"

Simply put, it's a viral infection that turned humans into monsters driven only by predatory instincts.

Bai Qianqu gave a brief introduction to the concept of zombies. To make it easier for everyone to understand, he also selected several famous scenes from "Resident Evil" to vividly describe them.

"!!!"

"Are zombies really that scary?"

"Just one bite and you'll be infected! Wow, what kind of virus can do that? The transmission speed is too fast!"

"Mutations can occur? Is it even plausible that a person can grow as tall as a building?"

"Zombies are illogical to begin with!"

"If a biohazard really happens, where should we hide to survive?"

"The robot shouldn't get infected, right?"

Looking at the crowd discussing this, Bai Qianqu was both amused and exasperated. She could only say that it was indeed a popular topic; she had only put forward a concept, yet it had already sparked such a heated discussion.

"It's just an idea, don't be so nervous, it's not going to actually happen."

"It's not that I'm nervous," Jiu Xiao said excitedly. "If we could apply your idea to a game, it would definitely be a great one! I've already thought of a name! It'll be called 'Biohazard Houmu Crisis'!"

"One day, a scientist created a virus that infected all the Houmu, turning them into bloodthirsty monsters!"

Bai Qianqu:

Why can't games be separated from that yellow rabbit?

Looking at the crowd discussing animatedly, Bai Qianqu also fell into deep thought.

Since there are no zombies in this world, I can totally create one myself, and maybe I can even earn the title of "Father of Zombies".

I wonder how much the Resident Evil game will cost, since the movies and games in this series are all big-budget productions.

The distant Inazuma, Yaedo.

As the world's largest mecca for light novels, it attracts many visitors from all over the world every day.

The office building where Yaedo is located has three floors open to the public, displaying many excellent works, even original manuscripts and paintings, just like a museum.

The third floor, leading upwards, is the office area, a place every novelist and illustrator dreams of.

Meanwhile, Yaedo was quite busy, as the deadline for the illustration competition had arrived, and almost all of Yaedo's editors were working on it.

"This is a joint event with Pixiv, so we can't mess it up. You know, Pixiv is one of the most popular websites among young people right now, with a huge user base, and it's also one of our closest partners at Yaedo."

"That's natural. Almost every manga adaptation by Yaedo is first released or exclusively streamed on Pixiv."

"Haha, there are quite a few entries this time. You know, there are many talented people out there. I wonder how many amazing works will appear."

"Actually, I also submitted a piece this time, but I don't know if it will be selected."

"This time, the works were selected directly on the Pixiv homepage for netizens to vote on, so we can't control that."

Amidst the editors' discussions, all the works were reviewed, the unqualified ones were eliminated, and the remaining ones were packaged, then randomly numbered until the voting channel on Pixiv opened on the 15th.

At that time, any user who opens Pixiv will see the big event title on the homepage - "Pixiv Girl Election"!

Chapter 163 Two Music Gods

Many netizens who are interested in the vote have already started discussing it.

[Haha, is Pixiv finally going to have its own mascot?]

[This event is co-organized with Yaedo, so I'm sure the submitted works are all of very high quality!]

"Of course, that's Yaedo. Even A-rank illustrators attend their events."

This time, all users are allowed to vote, but each user ID only gets one vote!

I watched the promotional video, and there are over four hundred entries this time! My eyes must be overwhelmed!

[I can't wait for the voting channel to open on the 15th!]

Netizens were discussing it animatedly, while Bai Qianqu was staring blankly at the voting interface on her phone.

As a participant, he had already learned via text message that his entries were numbered 22 and 33.

"Could this be destiny?" Bai Qianqu wondered, after all, 22-niang and 33-niang were number 22 and 33 back then, and now her two pictures also had the same number.

Bai Qianqu just glanced at it casually and didn't think too much about it. After all, the uncertainty of the preliminary voting was too great. Anyway, she had already received her mission reward, so she didn't ask for too much.

"Ahem! Let's begin the meeting!"

As soon as Lei Dian Long Ma's voice came through, Bai Qian Qu quickly put her phone away.

Today was an emergency meeting of the composition department. Bai Qianqu originally didn't want to attend, but Lei Dianlongma called her over, saying that he also wanted to come and offer some suggestions for the meeting.

Bai Qianqu had no choice but to come over and sit in the last seat, which was the seat for C-level composers.

After the group of composers took their seats, they all looked at Bai Qianqu with strange expressions.

After all, given Bai Qianqu's current status in Anti-Entropy, no one would think much of him sitting among the A-level composers. On the contrary, it was his sitting among a group of C-level composers that felt out of place.

Even the Thunder Dragon Horse couldn't stand it anymore. He coughed twice and said, "Little White, why are you sitting in the front? What are you doing huddled in the back?"

"I think this place is fine," Bai Qianqu said, unmoved.

Just kidding, it's so much more enjoyable to sit in the back and slack off during a meeting. How can you slack off if you're sitting in the front?

The composers were stunned. This melody was too powerful! How dare he disobey his boss?

It's worth noting that Lei Dian Long Ma, as a senior executive at Anti-Entropy, is known for his notoriously volatile temper.

Of all the people in the composition department, apart from those at grade A or above, none are afraid of him.

While everyone was worried about Qu Yin, Lei Dian Long Ma did not get angry. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face.

"Okay, sit wherever you think is better."

Everyone:

What happened? How did that hot-tempered Minister of Lightning become like this?

Thunder Dragon Horse scanned the crowd: "Let's begin the meeting!"

Seeing everyone getting serious, Raiden Ryoma's voice also became solemn: "It's like this, the War of the Gods is in two months, and I just received news that Professor Welt will be participating."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the composition department widened their eyes.

While it's normal for Qu Shen to participate in the War of the Gods, Walter hasn't made a move for several years, so his sudden participation really surprised everyone.

However, everyone soon became overjoyed again.

"If Professor Walter is participating, then the championship of this year's War of the Gods is ours, isn't it?"

"Yes, Professor Welt is one of the top-tier music masters. What's the suspense when he makes a move?"

However, Raiden Ryoma's next words quickly dampened everyone's enthusiasm.

"According to sources, Teacher Eden will also intervene."

The meeting room fell into a deathly silence.

Walter is guaranteed to win the championship if he takes the shot, but that's only if Eden doesn't. If Eden does take the shot, it's hard to say who will win.

Eden might even have a better chance of winning, given that it is younger and more creative.

"We can't interfere in the war at the level of the Gods," Thunder Dragon Horse continued. "We just need to fight our own battles well. We've received instructions from above to secure several victories before the War of the Gods."

"Our company's new song only ranked fourth on the December new song chart! I'm very dissatisfied with this result!"

As he spoke, the Thunder Dragon Horse swept his gaze across the crowd, and the group of composers all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

After all, if you can't produce good results, there's nothing to say.

However, soon after, Raiden Ryoma looked at Shiro Chiku sitting at the very back and revealed a satisfied smile.

"However, Xiaobai's song 'Reverse War' has been receiving a very good response online recently. According to current estimates, it should at least be in the top five after it is released online on the 15th! With the game's popularity and subsequent promotion, it could even compete for the top three or even the first place!"

Everyone looked surprised again.

Release a song mid-month and seize the top spot on the charts?

Everyone is well aware of how difficult this is, after all, it is difficult to catch up after falling behind, let alone surpass it.

However, "Counter-Strike Online" is fully capable of doing so, and even has the potential to take the top spot!

Everyone looked at Bai Qianqu, who was sitting at the back, with admiration in their eyes.

They finally understood why Lei Dian Long Ma had been so kind to Bai Qian Qu today.

If it were them, let alone a seat, Bai Qianqu could sit at the table if she wanted.

"Ahem!" Thunder Dragon Horse put away his smile. "Little White will handle things this month, but you guys need to step up your game next month! In the last month before the War of the Gods, singers who don't want to participate in the war will bring out all their best songs from the past year, so the competition will be even fiercer than usual. So don't hold back anymore. Those of you who don't want to participate in the War of the Gods, get your work ready!"

"This is the last chance this year!"

Upon hearing this, many composers were eager to try their hand at it.

It's not that they can't write excellent works, but that they don't want to release songs in ordinary months, and they try to postpone the release time as much as possible in order to polish their works.

January is the last chance. If I don't release a song then, I'll either have to participate in the War of the Gods, or I won't have any plans to release a song this year.

Those composers who haven't achieved good results all year round are naturally unwilling to give up and will definitely go all out in January.

Lei Dian Long Ma then gave some other instructions, mostly complicated and tedious tasks. Bai Qian Qu was getting drowsy listening to them. He glanced at the time and realized it was almost noon. He was already thinking about what to eat for lunch.

Finally, after Raiden Ryoma finished explaining everything, it was time to adjourn the meeting.

"Okay, that's all for now. Meeting adjourned. Xiaobai, stay behind."

Bai Qianqu looked completely bewildered, her bottom slumped back down from the chair, and she watched helplessly as everyone left.
