144: Dynamic Space

“Could it be the Qin Family’s Fengqing Company? Unlikely. Fengqing Company is just an entertainment company in a third-tier base city. Even their own songs would need a long three months to even make it to the main chart. With Qin Fu Yi’s influence, he definitely couldn’t achieve this, and the Heavenly Dao Eye hasn’t detected any such moves from them recently.

So, who exactly is this person, or this entertainment company?” Long Yuan pondered.

In his opinion, whether it was this person or this entertainment company, their influence must be immense, because they could make the person managing the great ming golden melody chart disregard the rules and allow his song to directly enter the chart, achieving such impressive results in a short period of time…

“Oh, right, Tong Xueqin said individuals couldn’t submit songs to the chart. So, the recommender should be an entertainment company. Actually, no need to overthink it; I just need to check the chart!” Long Yuan suddenly scoffed at himself.

Analyzing so much was not as simple as directly checking the chart information… He immediately took out his phone to search, and sure enough, the great ming golden melody chart quickly popped up.

A quick glance showed that his song was now ranked seventh, with downloads already exceeding fifty million.

If calculated at one silver coin per download, that’s over fifty million silver coins.

Converting that according to the Great Ming Empire’s currency system, where one silver coin is one tael, then these fifty million-plus silver coins are worth over fifty million taels of silver!

If calculated further, with one hundred taels of silver equaling one lower-grade xuan stone, that’s over five hundred thousand low-grade xuan stone!

And this was only in a matter of days!

Considering the Great Ming Empire’s current population of over ten billion, the download numbers are expected to continue climbing, and this income will likely be extremely substantial…

“Damn, I never thought making songs was so profitable. Why bother putting so much effort into weapons then?!” Long Yuan suddenly questioned if his direction for making money was wrong.

Previously, Long Yuan’s plan was to develop thermal weapons, and he had just been certified as a Two-Star Weapon Refiner. His next step was to set up an arsenal with Duan Hu.

But now, looking at it, the income from being a star probably wouldn’t be much less than from making weapons.

After all, he possessed the capital: a song library, good looks, and Divine-Grade musical Dao talent.

Earning this money would be as simple as eating, drinking, and sleeping!

To think that he could earn so much by casually releasing a song like “you at the same table.” There are so many classic songs on Earth; if he released other even more powerful songs, it might multiply the earnings by dozens or even hundreds of times!

At that point, he could take dozens of songs to dominate the charts, and his income would be unimaginable…

As for setting up an arsenal, it would involve time and effort to procure Materials, design, conduct experiments, and after producing items, handle sales, after-sales service, deal with competitors, and even official investigations.

In short, it would definitely make him very busy!

In this situation, the benefits of being a star emerged, because he could not only earn money easily but also have time to Cultivate!

This point was crucial. The Heavenly Dao Eye had said that the future of this starfield was very uncertain, and a great upheaval might come soon.

The time left for him to develop and grow stronger was actually not much!

He must seize this precious time to improve his overall strength as much as possible to better cope with future crises, so time was truly precious.

However… in this Profound Qi era, taking such a celebrity path seemed a bit out of place.

The scene of entertainment to death could easily lead people to indulge and be unable to extricate themselves.

Having a group of screaming fans fight fierce enemies would only result in a disastrous defeat and needless sacrifice.

Only a nationwide martial arts spirit might give the Great Ming Empire a glimmer of hope!

Furthermore, the celebrity path was not conducive to his overall improvement, because his goal was to face the tribulation, and facing the tribulation could not be accomplished by individual strength alone.

He also had to develop other combat forces, the largest portion of which would fall on those super thermal weapons!

Planes, Mystic Cannons, Xuan Guns, super naval ships, super starships, various high-end Materials, etc. With these, it would be possible to arm the Great Ming Empire’s army and civilians.

At that time, he could lead them to resist the external tribulation together; otherwise, relying on his own strength alone would likely be impossible, no matter how hard he tried!

To achieve all of this, he must start various Artifact Refining experiments now.

If he really became a star, it would definitely be putting the cart before the horse!

Understanding this, Long Yuan let out a long breath, calming his turbulent emotions. Looking closer, he found that the production company for his song was called “Era Heavenly Sound”!

“Era Heavenly Sound? That’s a very resonant name… I’ll look it up!”

Long Yuan then searched for Shidai Tianyin Company, and it quickly appeared.

This was an entertainment company in Shuntian Prefecture, Northern Capital, of considerable scale, with hundreds of artists, many of whom were famous artists and big stars in the Great Ming Empire.

Logically, such a large company shouldn’t do something like this; taking his live video directly to the charts without his consent—what kind of bizarre operation was this?

Not only did it seem unprofessional, but more importantly, it had a suspicion of infringement.

If he were to complain, what would be the result?

Didn’t they say that the Great Ming Empire valued the copyright of artistic works the most? How could such a situation be allowed to exist?

Long Yuan was momentarily baffled by this Shidai Tianyin Company…

“Forget it, I don’t have time to get entangled with them. I’ll just focus on my goal!” Long Yuan decided to stop thinking about it.

After leaving Yuhua Terrace, he first went to the Martial Arts Market to purchase a large batch of Artifact Refining Materials and medicinal herbs, and then headed directly towards West Lake…

Due to the special circumstances tonight, the “protection” squad that had been near him was all dealing with Tong Jingshan’s illegal beast-rearing incident, so he had a rare peaceful night.

He arrived at West Lake not long after.

The night before last, he had moved about a third of the garbage mountain here and discovered the “Qilin Egg.” Since then, he had been busy with other matters.

Aside from training in the selection camp during the day, he had been certified as a Two-Star Weapon Refiner and had just gone to Yuhua Terrace to “clear mines” in advance.

So, he hadn’t entered the space to check it until now.

After arriving at West Lake, Long Yuan first used his Divine Sense to check the surroundings, finding nothing unusual.

Then, with a thought, he entered the Heavenly Dao Space.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned, “Huh? Where is this?!”

The compressed version of the Heavenly Dao Space he remembered was gone.

The world before him was vast and expansive, with active Spiritual Qi, lush vegetation, and magnificent mountains, rivers, forests, lakes, seas, and islands, all appearing majestic and extraordinary.

Furthermore, beasts were hidden in various terrains, butterflies fluttered among the grass and flowers, and fish swam in the waterways, making the space vibrant and dynamic…
