Chapter 108 has no theme.
"No, this is impossible..."

Karl shook his head and kept refuting, but he kept repeating the same thing: "It's impossible."

There was no need to pay any more attention; Jiang Qin knew that this person was finished.

Given his current condition, it's unlikely he'll be able to participate in the finals and will probably have to withdraw from the show.

All the composers fell silent.

Jones was thinking about the show three years ago, where he lost to Carl in the vote.

The champion and the runner-up are not the same.

All the glory belongs to the champions; only regret is left for the runners-up!
If Carl started rigging the votes three years ago, then what was the point of his efforts?
Three years ago, his score was 0.8 points higher than Karl's!
Because of the difference in votes, he came in second and missed out on the championship.

Over the past three years, he has been compared to Karl many times, simply because Karl is more experienced and has won multiple championships.

When people mention imperial composers, they usually think of Carl, but Jones is on par with that Finnish woman.

Now he's telling him that he should have won three years ago?

How could he not hate that?

The Finnish composer, along with two other imperial composers, also had reservations.

The most obvious sign was that no one paid any attention to Karl at this moment, as if his worldview had been shattered.

Instead, they sat silently in their seats, listening to the host read out the rankings.

The first one is undoubtedly Jiang Qin, the second one is Jones, and the third one was originally Karl.

But at this moment, it was occupied by Amos, the fourth composer of the Machine Race.

Fifth is Finland.

Sixth Heining, seventh Lister, eighth Ize, ninth Irene, tenth Karl.

The Elven chanting of rites is indeed too niche, receiving very few votes.

***
After the storm passed, the production team returned to normal.

The host announced the theme of the final: "The theme of the final is none."

Composers are free to choose their own musical styles and invite singers they wish to collaborate with.

The next episode will air five days from now at 19 PM.

The finals have finally arrived.

As always, this final episode focuses on giving it your all.

There are no more restrictions.

"That concludes today's program. Thank you again..."

"See you in five days!" The two hosts finished their thank-you remarks in a rapid-fire manner.

***
On her way back to her residence, Jiang Qin encountered Fu Jie first.

He smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, if the song you're singing for the finals suits me, you might consider me!"
No matter how difficult the piece, I'm willing to try and practice it.

Jiang Qin smiled in response, "Okay, if it's suitable."

"Then I won't bother Miss Jiang any longer. Let's meet again when we get back to the Federation."

"Ah."

After recommending himself, Fu Jie left readily.

Next, Jiang Qin met Yue Ji again, but she didn't offer herself up. She just smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, we'll be rivals again next time."

"Then congratulations, Miss Yue."

"Hmm, I hope Miss Jiang will also give it her all, otherwise I'll find it quite boring~"

After Yue Ji left, Jiang Qin ran into the remaining singers from the Federation.

They all came to volunteer themselves.

Since it was the finals, there were quite a few people who wanted to play, but she didn't agree to any of them, only saying that she would consider it if it was suitable.

They didn't press the matter.

After all, she hadn't even finished composing the piece yet, so who knew if it would be suitable? There was no point in pestering her. Because she had to exchange a few polite words with them, what should have been a few minutes' walk took her almost an hour to get there.

When I returned to number 100, I indeed saw Cang Hong at the entrance.

She said, "Everyone's here, there's no reason why Cang Hong, who I've had a great working relationship with, isn't here."

"Wait a long time?"

Cang Hong shook his head, his ears turning slightly red. "No, actually I just got back too."

Whenever he was shy, his peach blossom eyes would appear exceptionally shimmering, as if they were filled with water.

If Jiang Qin hadn't known that this was what people actually looked like, she would have thought it was a deeply affectionate gaze.

However, she knew that some people were born with this kind of condition, and could even look at dogs with deep affection.

She asked, "Are you here to recommend yourself as well?"

Cang Hong smiled slightly, and although he was a little embarrassed, he nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I'd also like to volunteer."

"If Ms. Jiang needs a partner, you can also consider me. I... would love to sing on stage with you."

Jiang Qin readily agreed, "I'll come find you again if I need anything."

In her eyes, Cang Hong was just like everyone else.

Although they worked together very well, she also considered him a friend.

But her first consideration was definitely whether the music was suitable, not their relationship.

After all, given her relationship with Cang Hong, it was far from the point where she would specifically choose songs suitable for him.

So she really doesn't know whether she needs it or not.

Because she hasn't decided what to sing in the finals yet, which would give her a better chance of winning.

To garner votes, she will likely consider musical styles with a wider audience, rather than just those that sound good.

We also need to consider the difficulty of the song, since it's the final, it would be best to choose a song that allows us to showcase our skills a little.

Seeing that Jiang Qin was starting to lose focus, Cang Hong quickly said goodbye to her.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. Good luck in the finals!"

"Hmm? Okay..." Jiang Qin felt a little embarrassed after her thoughts were interrupted.

It seems rather impolite to start daydreaming before others have even left.

If it were any other singer, they would probably suspect that she didn't want to talk to people. Fortunately, Cang Hong is not that kind of person.

***
After returning to her room, Jiang Qin didn't rush to browse the system store. Instead, she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside for a while.

Since arriving in the Empire, she has been constantly busy and hasn't even had time to visit the city.

But it's almost over.

Five days to go.

I wonder if the new bar on the main planet is finished yet, and Uncle Youwei, is he still busy with work in another city?

And there are also their regular customers.

Although she has only been back in this life for a short time, she has lived a much more fulfilling life than in her previous one.

Moreover, she rarely thinks about her past life anymore.

My mind is filled with memories of the people I met after being reborn and my first life.

That feeling of being detached from this world gradually faded, and she seemed to have found new attachments in this world.

She no longer felt apprehensive about that bit of family affection, always fearing that after losing her anchor, she would be unable to find meaning in life.

So, people need to have dreams, goals, and hope for the future, so that they have the motivation to move forward.

Jiang Qin didn't think for long before starting to think about the song for the next episode.

Because she only allows herself to waste a few fragments of time indulging in melancholy, using them as a seasoning for her new life.
