Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Teacher Li, whom Zhou Jinrui had invited, stood up straight and said slowly, "Mr. Zhou, I really didn't lie to you. This score should be from Miss Qiqi's side, right?"

“From now on, any work by her will be restricted from being a similar work by others.”

"It's not that I don't want to see it, or that I don't want to revise the score."

"Instead, I realized that my future musical path had become more thorny, preventing me from fully displaying my talent."

Teacher Li pointed to herself: "These past few days I have repeatedly rehearsed 'Keep Walking in the Rain,' and every derivative version I have made has been completely unsuccessful."

Zhou Mian frowned: "Why wasn't this reported before?"

The video of the live singing was given to Ms. Li on September 4th, and she should have enough time to report it in the next few days.

Teacher Li sighed deeply: "I'm not reconciled! Why can't I use the melody of the Red-Level Singer? And I'll never be able to use it for the rest of my life. One song has ruined my heart. I've been in seclusion testing it repeatedly, but I still can't modify the score to make a new one."

She closed her eyes and sighed again: "I thought that the saying 'below the red steps, no one is worthy of the crown, all are ants' from a hundred years ago was a distortion of history. Can't the songs left behind by those singers of the red steps in history still be used by later generations?"

"How was I supposed to know that the restrictions on the Meditation Platform were lifted because of the Red-Tier Singer's passing? I could still use those melodies and tunes before, but because I listened to them and watched Zhou Qiqi's performance, I can no longer use them. I'm really not reconciled..."

A century ago, there was a saying: "When the singer of the Red Steps appears, tears flow like a river."

However, after the death of the Red-Rank Singer, others were able to recreate and rearrange the songs, and since no new Red-Rank Singers appeared, everyone gradually forgot about it.

It was only after repeatedly failing to remix Zhou Qiqi's songs that Teacher Li discovered just how terrifying the massive industry upheaval caused by the former top-tier singers was.

A century has passed.

Now another red-rank singer has emerged, activating the protective power of the Meditation Platform. How can this not chill the hearts of the singers who were unexpectedly restricted?

“Hiss…” Zhou Jinrui gritted his teeth, “No wonder the online discussion about Qiqi has suddenly weakened these past few days.”

Zhou Mian raised an eyebrow: "Did those singers discover the problem?"

Grandpa Zhou looked at Zhou Mian: "The cooperation you discussed with the military last year, they suddenly agreed so quickly these past two days, perhaps that's part of the reason. Their singers may have been ruined because they listened to Lao Wu's songs!"

The more he talked about it, the more the old man felt it was true.

"Otherwise, how could that cooperation, which several companies were vying for, have fallen into the hands of our Zhou family ahead of time?!"

Zhou Mian gasped, “No wonder they were so nice to me today. The Qin family, the Shen family, and the Qiao family have all been trying to arrange marriages between their sons and Zhou Qiqi.”

"Their singer was also ruined by Zhou Qiqi!"

***

"Huh?" Zhou Qiqi was dumbfounded. "There's such a thing?"

Zhou Mian and Grandpa Zhou nodded very seriously.

"Those below the red steps are unworthy of the crown; they are all mere ants?"

Zhou Qiqi couldn't help but grin: "So, that means any singer who has heard my songs can't make songs of the same type or with similar melodies? Am I that amazing?"

Looking at Zhou Qiqi's big, toothy grin, Old Master Zhou suppressed his temper and said, "It's the Meditation Platform that's so powerful. Fifth Brother, you can't just wander around outside anymore!"

"Haven't you realized the trouble yet? As soon as you die, others can use your music!"

Zhou Qiqi's smile faded, replaced by a look of surprise and uncertainty.

She pointed outside: "They'd kill me to successfully copy my song?!"

Zhou Mian, though not angry, spoke with an air of authority and earnestness: "People might be more restrained domestically, but that's not necessarily true abroad. There are many people overseas with ulterior motives. You need to be careful in the future!"

Zhou Qiqi remained silent.

It turns out that in the beginning, she wanted to make songs to attract attention and prolong her life, which meant that she was destined to lose her important freedom.

Zhou Qiqi thought to herself, "As long as they don't hear it!"

From now on, I'll secretly make my own songs and incorporate them into the Beast Beads!

Zhou Mian looked at Zhou Qiqi and continued, "If you still have good songs, why not trade them to your uncle? Your uncle and grandfather are your family, and they will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Zhou Qiqi thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you tried transferring my sheet music to someone else, letting them modify it, then to someone else, modifying it again, and finally having a singer try to produce the sheet music?"

The two people opposite each other looked at each other.

Grandpa Zhou shook his head and sighed, "Why haven't I tried it?"

Zhou Mian picked up the thread, saying, "Not only our family, but also the national team, have conducted many experiments. But without exception..."

Zhou Qiqi interjected, "It failed?"

Zhou Mian smiled and said, "It's not exactly a failure, it's just that the finished song scores are only silver or white, and none of them have broken through to the gold level."

In other words, it's a devaluation.

Zhou Qiqi thought for a moment and then asked, "National Team... Does the National Team not have any new songs now? Also, there's something I've always wanted to ask: how many high-level warriors are there now? And are there very few red-level song sheets?"
