A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 106: Accusation of Cheating

[BLEGH—What kind of trash lyrics are these? How can they describe the process of dismembering an Alien Beast’s corpse and the thrill you get from it? That’s sick, isn’t it?]

[This is making me uncomfortable. I don’t want to listen. I’m leaving the stream, I’ll come back later.]

[What the hell do you all know? This is what rap is supposed to be! This is what makes it intense!]

[Seriously? Are there really people living in the Interstellar age who still think the world is all peace and beauty?]

[This is bad for children’s mental health. I’m going to report this song to the Child Protection Association. If he dares to upload it, I’ll fight him to the bitter end!]

[Can the people who don’t appreciate rap just leave the stream? You’re so annoying.]

...

"Director, this is bad! A lot of people are reporting our show!!!"

The director was speechless. He had no idea what to do. The performance was over and scoring had begun. What could he possibly do?

Besides, the Mainbrain hadn’t flagged the song for any violations. These netizens were really just making trouble for no reason.

Seeing his silence, the assistant carefully watched the director’s expression and asked, "Director, what should we do?"

"What should we do? What else can we do? Just act like we haven’t seen it. It’s not like the show can get taken down by reports, can it?"

Of course, that was impossible. Behind their show was the Imperial Royal Family!

So the director, not knowing how to handle the situation, simply chose to ignore it.

The result was more and more complaints, especially since Jones’s song had received a pretty high score!

This triggered a massive backlash, but an even larger group of people came out in support.

One side felt the lyrics were too vulgar and bloody, a bad influence on the youth. The other side felt that living in the Interstellar age, even children had to face bloodshed directly, or else how would they develop any grit?

However, the majority still felt that there was already enough bloodshed and fighting in the world; there was no need to pollute a space meant for entertainment.

If things continued like this, how many sane people would be left in the world?

In recent years, the number of people suffering from depression has been on the rise. Hasn’t anyone noticed?

They were tormented by gene collapse, threatened by rampaging spiritual power, and preyed upon by Alien Beasts and Cosmic Creatures.

Everyone was born shouldering all sorts of responsibilities!

They were people, too. They also wanted a place where they could relax, a place where they could occasionally catch their breath!

They didn’t want to be listening to music only to suddenly hear a song that provoked their will to fight.

Of course, there were already quite a few songs like this.

But this song by Jones was too bloody and cruel, and it was a rap. It was like someone was screaming in their ears. It went too far, and they couldn’t accept it.

The females, in particular, were filing complaints one after another.

They were the ones who stayed on the home front; they didn’t need to face this kind of bloodshed directly, and they were even more unwilling to let their children be exposed to such gore too early.

Lyrics could be explicit, they could even be elevated, but they couldn’t be this twisted.

It was just like that one perverted song from the past, with lyrics about how swallowing a female’s waste was some kind of blessing.

They were determined to boycott this kind of content that gained popularity by being outrageous!

In just a few minutes, the top three trending topics in both the Empire and the Federation were all about boycotting Jones.

But the production team didn’t know yet.

Because the fifth singer was already on stage.

Meanwhile, offstage, Karl was speaking to Jones with a wide grin. "Not bad, kid. It’s about time someone knocked a certain newcomer down a peg, lest she really think she can surpass us veterans."

He was speaking to Jones, but his words were meant for Jiang Qin.

Because Jones had scored exactly one point higher than Jiang Qin. Their vote counts were nearly identical, but this didn’t include the votes from the audience outside the venue.

But this was enough to make the few composers from the Empire puff up their chests.

Having been constantly suppressed by a newcomer from the Federation—and a young female at that—they had long been simmering with anger.

It was just that they hadn’t managed to surpass Jiang Qin before, so they had all been forced to keep quiet.

But now things were different. First place in this round would very likely go to Jones!

The Imperial people weren’t worried about the off-site audience votes at all. Their Empire’s composers had never lost to the Federation in the off-site voting segment.

So, the outcome of this round was already obvious!

Jones was also thrilled, but he maintained a calm and carefree expression, only chuckling lightly. "The results aren’t out yet. Nothing is certain."

"You’re just too modest. As a veteran, so what if you’re a little arrogant?

With a score like yours, who could possibly surpass you? And as for the off-site voting, there’s even less to worry about.

First place in the semifinals is yours for the taking!"

In truth, Karl felt a bit miserable himself. He could already imagine how many people online would be cursing him after the show ended.

All his past glory would be ruined in an instant.

Because in this competition, he hadn’t won first place even once. This had never happened before.

Even back when he was just a newcomer, he had taken first place in one or two rounds.

But now, he couldn’t even compare to how he was back then.

The scariest part was the people who had bet on him. One could only imagine how many would go bankrupt after the show ended.

Just thinking about it made him miserable.

So, since he was unhappy, he wanted to make Jiang Qin unhappy too!

He refused to believe this female wouldn’t feel the least bit disappointed that her winning streak had been broken!

Unfortunately for him, no matter how much he taunted her, Jiang Qin ignored him as if she were deaf, not responding with a single word. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She didn’t even glance at him, right up until the tenth singer had finished their performance.

This made Karl even more frustrated. It was the stifling feeling of giving it his all only to not even touch the corner of his opponent’s clothes.

But seeing Jiang Qin relegated to second place would be some consolation, at least.

In a moment watched by all, the off-site voting finally closed.

To everyone’s astonishment, Jiang Qin’s vote count was number one!!!

"No, that’s impossible!" Karl couldn’t believe it.

His eyes were wide as he repeatedly muttered, "Impossible."

Jones’s face was just as dark, his expression a mixture of disappointment, resentment, and defiance!

Their Empire had never lost the off-site vote to the Federation. They knew very well that not only did most people in the Federation lack a Light Computer, but they were also disunited and had no allies!

Under these circumstances, the vote counts were basically steamrolled by the Empire every year.

And yet, Jiang Qin’s vote count was higher than Jones’s by seventy million!

Not seven hundred, not seventy thousand, but seventy *million*!

How was this possible?

Karl was the first to challenge the result. "I demand a detailed breakdown of Jiang Qin’s votes! I suspect the Federation people helped her cheat!"

The host was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Mr. Karl, please wait a moment. I’ll have someone ask the director for instructions."

Everyone present waited in a tense stalemate for five minutes before the director’s side sent an assistant onto the stage.

"Given that multiple people are currently questioning the authenticity of Miss Jiang Qing’s vote count, the production team has decided to hold a vote to determine whether to release the details of Miss Jiang Qing’s votes.

Please make your selection from your seats.

Viewers in the livestream may participate in the poll within the stream."
