71: The people of the Ming Dynasty are so pitiful

"Hmm... this is a great opportunity to make money!" Long Yuan suddenly realized this.

From the information, it could be seen that the entertainment industry in Great Ming was currently in a relatively low-level state, completely incomparable to Earth's standards. This backwardness was mainly reflected in two aspects: first, due to the lack of Advanced scientific technology, various equipment, broadcasting, and live streaming technologies were very primitive.

Especially since exotic beasts occupied large areas, the Human Race was unable to build more base stations, affecting the transmission range and quality of broadcast signals, leading to a poor audio-visual experience for people.

If Advanced equipment in this area could be provided to Great Ming or other countries worldwide, then one could certainly make a huge profit.

However, it seemed that Xuanji Tower had entered this market, and it was unknown what methods Xuanji Tower used to achieve nationwide and global live broadcasting under such circumstances.

Long Yuan vaguely suspected that Xuanji Tower might have adopted satellite communication methods similar to those on Earth.

If this were true, then the origin of Xuanji Tower would be worth a thorough investigation, as, judging from the technological conditions of Great Ming and other countries on Blue Star, they were unlikely to achieve this, and Xuanji Tower's position seemed to be above them all.

It could be said that Xuanji Tower entered Long Yuan's sight for the first time at this moment and was added to the list of key entities to be tracked by the Heavenly Dao Eye.

On the other hand, this backwardness was also reflected in the quality of entertainment programs.

From the information collected by the Heavenly Dao Eye, the entertainment performances on Blue Star were indeed uninspired and could not compare to Earth's standards.

Various singing, dancing, group exercises, large-scale performances, and so on were all comprehensively backward, completely on different levels!

"Long Yuan, are you captivated by Ni Ni?" A voice came, and it was Ye Xuan.

After her father brought her over, she was quite excited, because being with so many important figures was definitely something to be proud of, and it would be one of her talking points in the future.

However, when she heard that everything tonight was due to Long Yuan, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She never expected that a favored daughter of Heaven like herself wouldn't receive such treatment, while Long Yuan, who was at the bottom of their class, unexpectedly received the "admiration" of the county magistrate and various family heads.

This was truly hard for her to accept.

What surprised her even more was that her father, Ye Yuhuang, secretly "encouraged" her to get closer to Long Yuan, which made her even more speechless.

However, she could not defy her father's orders, so she consciously and quietly moved a little closer to Long Yuan.

At this moment, seeing that Long Yuan was completely unresponsive to her, this favored daughter of Heaven, and was staring blankly at Ni Ni on the stage, she couldn't help but tease him.

Long Yuan heard this and asked curiously, "Who is Ni Ni?"

Ye Xuan pointed to the female star singing on the stage, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "You don't know her? Then what have you been staring at her for? You haven't even blinked!"

Long Yuan suddenly understood.

So the female star performing was named Ni Ni.

Please, this incredibly enchanting and alluring female star could be called an auntie by him; charming these uncles present was more appropriate.

How could she captivate a young man like himself?

However, to be fair, although this Ni Ni's singing was not good, her figure was indeed very hot, and she was clearly a Xuan Practitioner.

As she sang and swayed, her tight-fitting clothes showed that the flesh underneath was very elastic.

This type of voluptuous performer was a favorite of many uncles, no wonder the uncles present were all staring intently, secretly swallowing their saliva...

Another point to clarify is that when Long Yuan said Ni Ni's singing was not good, he meant that the song itself was not good, but her voice was still very good, clear with a slight magnetism.

If she had a good song, she might have become famous overnight.

It was a pity that she probably hadn't encountered a suitable song, which led to her consistently mediocre performance, only able to work in a third-tier base like Fengyang, becoming a resident singer at the Qin Family's nightclub.

"Ah, you mean this auntie, right? I didn't even know her name was Ni Ni," Long Yuan said truthfully.

"Hmph, I can't believe how thick-skinned you are.

Who in Fengyang doesn't know Ni Ni?

She performs at the county's annual gala every year.

Does your family not even watch the annual gala?" Ye Xuan retorted.

Long Yuan paused, then said, "My family's player broke many years ago, so my family hasn't watched the county's annual gala for a long time..."

"You?! Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Hehe, my parents were worried that the player would affect my studies, so they never bought a new one.

But hearing you say that, I'll buy one myself when I have time recently..."

"Hmph, then tell me, were you not captivated by Ni Ni just now?" Ye Xuan continued to ask persistently.

"Didn't you hear me call her auntie?" Long Yuan countered.

"Aunties are very popular now, aren't they?

Many young men like you really enjoy pursuing aunties!" Ye Xuan giggled, covering her mouth.

Luo Ying and Long Xiangning beside her were also about to burst into laughter.

The three of them had already conspired to tease Long Yuan.

"Ah? I don't have that hobby!" Long Yuan quickly said.

"Then what do you like? Is it this golden melody? But, Ni Ni really sings well.

This song is this year's popular hit, currently ranked third on the great ming golden melody chart.

I've even downloaded it... Hmm, its original singer is 'Little Waist Spirit'!" Ye Xuan said.

"Little Demoness? Is the original singer very alluring?" Long Yuan asked curiously.

"What are you saying? It's the 'waist' of a slender waist.

The 'Little Waist Spirit's' waist is really thin.

Some say you can even grasp it with one hand, it's truly enviable..."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the historical allusion of "King Chu loved slender waists" immediately came to Long Yuan's mind.

If a waist was so thin that it could be grasped with one hand, wouldn't that be too sickly? That has nothing to do with beauty, does it?

But there was another piece of information in Ye Xuan's words that left him dumbfounded: this song could actually occupy the third position on the great ming golden melody chart.

He truly wondered what made it sound good.

Or did the people of Great Ming just like this monotonous and boring style of music?

Long Yuan quickly dismissed this idea, because he trusted his own appreciation level.

After all, he had been exposed to music on Earth.

During college, he and a few friends even formed a small band, with him as the lead singer.

However, later due to lack of time and it being too expensive, they didn't continue playing.

With such an experience, he was confident that his appreciation ability could not be so unique as to be different from all Great Ming people.

After all, a good song is good, and a bad song can truly be recognized immediately.

The reason why such a low-level song still sounded good to Great Ming people must be due to another reason!

Long Yuan analyzed it carefully and felt that the people of Great Ming had simply heard too few good songs!

They were so pitiful!

Without comparison, there is no harm.

If they had heard good songs, they probably wouldn't be able to listen to this song again.

It's like some people who usually eat coarse food, and they eat it quite heartily, not feeling anything bad about it.

But once they've tasted mountain delicacies prepared by a master chef, would they still be able to eat those coarse, bland foods?

Just like the seafood feast he had just eaten, Long Yuan was already secretly worried that his future expenses on food might greatly increase.

There was no other way; it was simply too delicious.

After eating it, he felt that everything he had eaten before was simply pig slop...

He thought for a moment and then began to recall the songs he remembered from before.

This recollection surprised him greatly, because he found that all those songs were clearly etched in his mind, not a single note or lyric forgotten, even more clearly and firmly than when he was on Earth!

"What's going on? Is it still because of the Soul Power mutation?"
