A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 37: Female Protection Center

It was hard not to imagine what would happen if it wasn’t the end of the month. If she had uploaded all dozen-plus of her songs, would the entire top ten on the charts belong to her...?

Even those who were angry or triggered had to admit that her unreleased songs, despite their varying quality, were all good.

Even if they didn’t all make it to the top of the charts, they would at least take up half the spots.

On top of that, she was trending again today with several topics.

#ANewWayToDoDeepSoothing#

#WhyCanSingingPerformDeepSoothing?#

#CanSingingBeUsedForSoothing?#

And surprisingly, the person at the center of all these trending topics was Jiang Qin.

Suddenly, countless people were searching for this female named Jiang Qin, wanting to know who she was.

They would then find her songs, and those who were curious would almost always click to have a listen.

After all, the trending topics said it all: this young female named Jiang Qin performed deep soothing through her singing.

Just how good must her songs be to have such an effect?

And so, whether they were curious, skeptical, or just looking for something to criticize, they all clicked on those three songs.

In just that short amount of time, the play counts began to skyrocket.

The play count for "As Wished" was even about to overtake the number one song.

This level of popularity was something many new singers could only dream of.

Even a rookie being heavily promoted by their company wouldn’t get that much marketing money thrown at them all at once, let alone achieve this kind of viral fame without spending a dime—a truly rare occurrence.

Lan Yuyan also noticed the overwhelming momentum of Jiang Qin’s popularity.

He once again lamented his failure to recruit this cash cow.

He picked up his Light Computer and sent a voice message to the composition department’s group chat:

"Send out a notice. Avoid releasing any songs in July if possible."

Tianwen Entertainment wasn’t the only one with this idea; other entertainment companies thought the same.

Only a few companies that considered themselves major players, unafraid of this independent artist who lacked a team, still insisted on releasing new songs on the first.

The smart ones had already realized just how much they would be squeezing out other singers once Jiang Qin’s dozen-plus songs hit the market.

Perhaps only established composers and singers with their own dedicated fanbases could manage to carve out a slice for themselves.

In any case, Lan Yuyan didn’t want the composers under his label to wade into these muddy waters.

He knew his own people’s capabilities.

Their skills might not be weak, but they had a fatal flaw: a lack of innovation. Their musical style had always been to imitate the hit songs of the Empire.

Jiang Qin was different. Her style was far too versatile.

Even he found it hard to resist something so new.

On one hand, you have the same old tunes you’ve been listening to since childhood. On the other, you have something fresh, catchy, and interesting. The choice of what to listen to was a no-brainer.

Therefore, avoiding her was the best option, lest they become a foil that only served to highlight Jiang Qin’s talent.

If they won, they’d be accused of bullying a newcomer. If they lost, it would mean they were inferior to a newcomer.

In short, it was a no-win situation.

Besides, the year was only half over. They could always enter the fray in August or September.

The technicians to set up the recording studio arrived early. In just two hours, they had installed everything.

"Miss Jiang, it’s all installed. When you have a moment, please confirm receipt on the Star Network and give us a rating."

"Of course." Jiang Qin politely saw the installation crew to the door.

Shi Lichuan stayed by her side, never straying a single step, covertly watching every one of them with vigilance.

He only relaxed after the group left without incident.

Everything around Jiang Qin had been completely normal since last night, making him wonder if You Wei had been mistaken. ’Is this mission really that dangerous?’

"I’ll be in my room recording all day, and then I’ll head to the bar for my shift at six this evening. You can plan your schedule around that."

Shi Lichuan nodded in agreement.

After Jiang Qin returned to her room, he sat in the living room, standing guard.

Kui Wen was still standing guard outside the door. Ba Zi, who had taken the night shift, was resting in his room.

Jiang Qin wasn’t one to be glued to the internet, so she hadn’t been on the Star Network at all the entire day.

And thus, she had no idea she was trending again.

Everyone was discussing the scene where her and Wen Xueli’s Spiritual Bodies had appeared.

There were skeptics, and there were excited believers.

[This has to be a doctored video, right? We’re in Star Calendar year 3025, you can’t possibly tell me people still fall for fakes like this?]

[I don’t see any signs of editing. Could it be real?]

[I was watching the livestream last night. I can tell you with absolute certainty that it’s 100% real!]

[As everyone knows, you can’t fake a livestream.]

[So you can perform deep soothing without mating now? This is great! All the males who don’t want a partner are saved!]

Although most males were desperate to find a partner, there were also many who were unwilling to just find any female to live with for the sake of soothing.

So if deep soothing could be done without forming a partnership, many males with high Spiritual Power Levels would be saved!

The comments below were all tagging the Genetic Research Institute and the Federal Soothing Master College.

They were asking whether it was true or not.

The Genetic Research Institute and the Federal Soothing Master College had already received the news, but they had yet to respond to the citizens’ questions on the Star Network.

They couldn’t respond because their experiments had not yet yielded any results.

In truth, they would much rather take Jiang Qin away directly to question her about the details, or have her cooperate with their research.

But for now, no one dared to suggest it.

The Interstellar Female Protection Center was not to be trifled with.

The ones in charge were all Advanced females. They might not be powerful themselves, but they had many supporters, and their partners were all Advanced males from the Empire or the Federation.

These males were either wealthy, powerful, or famous.

Therefore, most people did not want to provoke the females of the Female Protection Center.

If they dared to publicly take Jiang Qin away for research, these females would surely step in to stop them.

After all, conducting research on females had long been prohibited.

Even though Jiang Qin was only a C-level female, the Female Protection Center still wouldn’t tolerate their actions.

Because once a line like that was crossed, the consequences would be uncontrollable.

Even if only for their own sake, these females would definitely step forward to protect Jiang Qin.

That was why the Genetic Research Institute and the Federal Soothing Master College were not yet prepared to have a falling-out with the Female Protection Center.

For now, they only planned to send someone to visit Jiang Qin, document the process of her summoning her Spiritual Body, and then conduct their own research based on that.

This was also why You Wei wasn’t worried about official personnel.

Anyone who wanted to live within Interstellar society had to abide by its laws.

What he had to worry about were Star Thieves, and those madmen squatting on uninhabited planets conducting illegal research.

These people not only ignored the law, but their methods were also ruthless.

To complete a mission, they would go so far as to disregard any and all casualties.

They would even pile up bodies if it meant completing the orders given from above.

They were, in a word, a group of irrational lunatics.

Things like storming a planet’s main city to abduct a female—they had done it more than once. It was only because security had gotten stricter that they had recently gone quiet.

Of course, a more likely reason was that the temptation just wasn’t great enough anymore...
