Inferior females become internet sensations across the entire galaxy

Chapter 482 Seclusion for Composing Music
This was Jiang Qin's first time entering the territory of the Mechanical Race, so she found the journey quite novel.

In fact, most of them are similar to the central cities of the Federation's main planet.

The difference is that it is more mechanized.

You can see many orcs on the streets, mostly tourists, but even more of them are members of the mechanical race.

"Please follow me, everyone." The male member of the machine race responsible for welcoming everyone led them onto a sightseeing bus.

Of course, these buses are also suspended, so they overlook the entire city from mid-air.

Upon arriving at her hotel, Jiang Qin found that the conditions were quite good.

This time, the Mechanical Clan invited not only composers but also many singers.

These singers are not ranked and do not receive any rewards; they only receive an invitation fee as guests.

Although there were no real benefits, some popular singers still came, not for any other reason than to establish connections with the veteran composers.

If we get one or two good songs, they might become classics for decades to come.

Some singers who weren't even qualified to be invited still tried to use connections and bribe their way in.

...

After a good night's sleep, the Mechanical Tribe arranged a guide for each composer the next day.

The competition won't start for another three days, so they'll have someone accompany them to explore the area first.

Cang Hong came here as an invited singer, but none of the singers were given a tour guide; only the composers were.

Right now, he's holding Zhao Zhao, closely following Jiang Qin.

Led by the tour guide, they visited many places with mechanical features.

They even visited a robot factory.

They were treated very well for three whole days.

To be honest, Jiang Qin felt that her impression of the mechanical race was better than her initial impression of the Empire.

After all, she hadn't forgotten how much the Empire people used to look down on the Federation people.

However, they have toned it down considerably now, as their cooperation has become increasingly close.

Furthermore, in order to protect her works, even the internet barriers between the two countries were shut down.

So when the composers from both sides met, although they ignored each other, no disputes arose.

But Jiang Qin could tell that the two veteran composers were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.

Lan Yuyan explained to her from the side: "The composers on both sides were composers of the same generation when they were young, so they basically participated in the competition as opponents."

Every conflict inevitably creates some contradictions, which accumulate over time to the point where the two sides dislike each other.

If it weren't for this competition, they would most likely have never had anything to do with each other again.

After all, they no longer need to represent their respective countries in composer competitions.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should never see each other again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, even after retiring, he was recalled by the country.

The two sides, who have been fighting for most of their lives, look down on each other more than the other, but they are no longer the young people they once were, and their every move is now under intense scrutiny.

So they can no longer stand on the roadside and argue for two hours like they used to.

Instead, they have to put on a brave face and maintain a respectable image.

"Haha, long time no see, Bruce. You seem to have aged a lot. You're starting to get wrinkles on your face."

"Oh, not at all. I just think it's better to let things grow naturally, so I haven't gone for any beauty treatments. But you, your facial muscles seem a bit stiff to me."
Take my advice: while technology products are great, all medicines have side effects, and using too many medications on your face is not good.

Although the two sides cannot have a big argument, they can still exchange sarcastic remarks.

So Jiang Qin, the only young person in the entire audience, was forced to listen to them attack each other with their age.

One side says you're old, the other says you're not as old as they think; one side says you're lonely, the other says that living a life of widowhood is no different from being alone.

In short, neither side was willing to give in.

The composer from all races watched the entire performance with a sweet smile on his face.

After all, they hadn't seen such a joyful scene for two or three decades.

It wasn't until the Zerg arrived that the composers on both sides quieted down, all looking up and glancing sideways at the group of pale-faced, ghost-like figures.

One of the Federation's composers couldn't help but sneer, "These days, things are getting stranger and stranger. Even animals can walk on two legs."

"That's right, just because something wears human skin doesn't mean it's human; it could be some kind of insect!"

The person who echoed this sentiment was a composer from the other side of the empire.

Jiang Qin could see clearly that the two of them had been arguing the most fiercely just now.

They are the ones who are now working together to squeeze out the Zerg.

Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang insectoids stared coldly at the two who had spoken, their compound eyes, which were not human-like.

Do you two have some kind of problem with us?

"Hehe, this insectoid gentleman has misunderstood. We are talking about those alien beasts disguised as humans. Please do not take this name lightly."

"Yeah, those beasts have gotten really out of hand lately. I don't know where they learned it, but they've managed to disguise themselves as humans and sneak into the city."

The Zerg didn't speak, glanced at everyone present, and then walked away.

After this incident, the mortal enemies who had been staring at each other like cross-eyed cocks fell silent, pursed their lips, and left with a look of disgust.

Jiang Qin silently followed a short distance behind them.

***
Inside the competition venue, apart from a large stage in the center, the entire perimeter was enclosed capsule-like structures.

The cabin contains a bed, a wardrobe, a toilet, and other daily necessities, as well as a small workspace filled with materials needed for composing.

After bowing and greeting them, the staff member smiled and said, "If you need anything for composing, please take it out first."

You will now be living in capsules for fifteen days. During this time, the quantum computer and spatial communication system will be unavailable.

"What?! Stay in a capsule for fifteen days?! And we can't even use the personal computer or the space button?!"

What's the difference between this and house arrest?

The staff member remained unperturbed when questioned, saying, "Sir, the relevant terms and conditions have already been written into the contract."

If you have any questions, you can refer to the contract.

The contracts were all sent by the federal government, and these composers simply signed them; many of them didn't even read them carefully.

However, a small number of people did see it, so they remained silent.

Jiang Qin had also read it and felt it was acceptable before signing the contract.

"If you all have no further questions, please continue to cooperate."

Despite their displeasure, everyone had no choice but to accept it since they were already there.

Anyway, it's just like spending 15 days in seclusion composing music.

They often choose to go into seclusion when they have inspiration, so they are not particularly resistant to it, but they are just a little dissatisfied because they were not informed in advance.
