Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

If I had to describe my feelings about Kaiya, it would be sadness.

"This is a very sad song."

Upon hearing Kaiya's answer, Bai Qianqu remained noncommittal and said nothing, but instead pointed to the lyrics in her hand.

Following the direction of Bai Qianqu's finger, Kaiya couldn't help but read it aloud in a low voice.

Life is too short to dwell on the past.

He stared blankly at the words, when Bai Qianqu's voice reached his ears.

"This lyric is the soul of the song; it sings about the ordinary people living their lives in this world."

Bai Qianqu then pointed to the next line of lyrics.

When you step into this place of joy, carrying all your dreams and aspirations; faces of all colors, makeup of all colors, yet no one remembers what you look like.

"From the moment we are born, we carry the burden of more than just ourselves. We not only have our own dreams, but also the expectations of our family and friends. We will encounter many people and many things, but not many people will notice us. To others, we are just a fleeting passerby, not that important. So instead of caring too much about what others think, we should let go of the burden and move forward with ease."

"Most people don't live the life they want in reality, but everyone has a life they want in their heart. When you encounter setbacks, you should continue to move forward for your ideals. You can think about it carefully."

After Bai Qianqu finished speaking, she silently walked away, leaving Kaiya to think for himself.

He believed that after hearing his explanation, Kaiya would understand his good intentions.

At this moment, Kaiya's feelings were complicated as he recalled the first twenty years of his life.

To outsiders, he appears to be the glamorous second son of the Morning Light Winery, but in reality, he is an adopted son and not even a native of Mondstadt.

Although he received the same education and treatment as his adoptive brother Diluc, he lacked the most crucial thing—family affection.

Although his adoptive father, Mr. Cripps, treated him like his own son, Kaia still felt that something was missing.

So many years have passed, but the emptiness in his heart still exists, only he hides it so well that no one notices it.

Why did he like going to bars to drink? Only he knew the real reason: only alcohol could slightly numb his empty heart.

One cup to our hometown, one cup to those far away.

My kindness has nurtured my growth.

So the road between north and south is no longer long

The soul no longer has nowhere to rest.

When he first saw those lyrics, he was completely captivated.

That's why he went to great lengths to secure the rights to perform this song.

Looking back now, what kind of emotions were I feeling at that time?

"Teacher Bai!"

Kaiya took a deep breath, his gaze no longer lost, but firm again.

Chapter 179 An Awkward TV Series

At this moment, Kaeya displayed an unprecedented level of seriousness.

"I'm ready, let's do it again! This time, no backing vocals!"

Bai Qianqu gave Kaiya a deep look, and he nodded silently.

The recording was a great success. Although she didn't know what was going on with Kaiya, Bai Qianqu was very satisfied with the result.

Lei Dian Longma was also very satisfied with the recording results. He immediately asked Lao Xu to finish the post-production and submit it for review, striving to complete the preliminary preparations as quickly as possible.

He left the recording studio in a hurry, as he needed to contact the publicity department to increase publicity efforts.

Through this collaboration, Kaia has gained a clearer understanding of Bai Qianqu: he is a truly insightful and talented composer.

He had initially had some doubts that the song in Qu Yin's hand might not have been written by him, but now that thought had completely disappeared.

If he hadn't composed it himself, he couldn't possibly have such a clear understanding and appreciation of the song!

Moreover, as a composer, Bai Qianqu's attitude towards singers is the best he has ever seen. The composers he had worked with before were arrogant and would often have a dark expression if the singers did not meet their requirements, which made people feel very burdened.

Unlike Bai Qianqu, who remained expressionless throughout, his tone of voice revealed his calm and unhurried demeanor, making him appear very pleasant to talk to.

Such a person will be well-liked wherever they go.

Kaiya now greatly admires Bai Qianqu, and he understands why so many people are eager to sing Bai Qianqu's songs.

After all, who doesn't like to curry favor with someone powerful? The key is that this powerful person also has a particularly good temper.

The song recording was finished, and it was almost lunchtime. Bai Qianqu glanced at the time and was too lazy to go back to the office. So she simply called Wendy and Kaiya, and the three of them headed straight to the cafeteria.

Wendy was visiting Anti-Entropy's cafeteria for the first time, and he was stunned when he learned that the food was free.

"I used to pay for meals outside!"

He was extremely annoyed and declared on the spot that he would be the best employee of Anti-Entropy from now on, and would definitely come to eat on time every day.

"Eating on time doesn't make you a top employee," Bai Qianqu kindly reminded him.

"Then let's settle for second best and be the best eater!" Wendy said, then immediately lowered her head and started eating like crazy, as if she hadn't eaten for three days.

Bai Qianqu shook her head in disgust, subtly moved away, and then began to eat like crazy.

This scene left Kaiya, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded. He never expected that the gentle and refined music teacher would be so unconcerned about his image when he was eating.

But then I thought, life is too short, why care so much?

So the three of them started devouring the food like crazy; to an outsider, it would look like they were having a competitive eating contest.

Just five minutes later, the three of them finished eating and then chatted in the rest area while chewing on toothpicks.

During her casual conversation with Kaiya and Wendy, Bai Qianqu finally understood why Kaiya had come to become a singer.

His original profession was a fashion model; singing was just a hobby.

This made Bai Qianqu sigh with admiration. As expected of a rich young master, he really knew how to have fun.

After exchanging contact information with Kaiya, Bai Qianqu returned to his office. Although the office was private, he didn't dare to bring his art supplies over, as he wouldn't be able to explain it if someone saw him doing so.

Now that the novel is finished and the song is complete, he has nothing to do for a while.

So he opened Pilipili, wanting to find some movies or TV series to watch, and soon he came across a TV series called "Magical Girl Teriri".

Upon seeing that Theresa was the lead actress, Bai Qianqu immediately became interested, pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds, and clicked play.

It must be said that although the plot of the TV series is very clichéd, Theresa's acting skills are quite good.

However, some of the lines in it were really awkward, and I don't know how Theresa could say them.

He felt embarrassed hearing things like "Magical Girl Teriri makes a dazzling appearance" and "I'll teriri you all" when he was outside.

After finally watching the movie at double speed, he went on to watch several more movies. After watching them, his face looked worse than if he had swallowed a fly.

He thought there were already enough bad movies in the original world, but he didn't expect there to be even more here. Not only were they bad, but they were also incredibly awkward.

It feels like something a kindergartener would write; the plot is incredibly childish, and some of the basic logic is utterly nonsensical.

However, the special effects in the movies are incredibly cool, and there are no scenes of "turning into horses out of fighting spirit".

Now Bai Qianqu finally understood why Tianming's previous film, "Fifteen Years," had performed well at the box office—it was indeed above average.

While Bai Qianqu was idly watching bad movies, the short story competition was in full swing, with many authors submitting their work.

Thanks to Raven's referral, "Wolf" successfully passed the preliminary rounds and entered the official competition.

That evening, Bai Qianqu also received a message from Raven and learned about the incident.

Bai Qianqu was not surprised by this, after all, "The Wolf" had been selected for inclusion in Chinese textbooks, so there was absolutely no problem with its quality.

Raven then suggested that Bai Qianqu take the initiative to promote it. Although most of Qianjian's fans are readers of long novels, promoting it might attract some readers.

Bai Qianqu had no objection to this, since he had nothing else to do anyway.

Bai Qianqu was surprised to find that the number of replies and comments on Qianjian's account was no less than that on Quyin's account.

However, most of these comments were urging for more updates, with some saying even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like that; others said they'd just been released from jail, read the novel, lit a cigarette, and were preparing to go back in; and some even questioned the author's writing style regarding the length.

It's a chaotic mess, with all sorts of things, and some people even post a daily check-in.

Bai Qianqu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that even with 30 words a month, these readers would still be dissatisfied.

Does it require writing a million words a month?

Bai Qianqu decided to ignore the comments urging her to update and posted a status update directly.

[Qian Jian's latest short story, "The Wolf," will be submitted to the Short Story Awards. We welcome everyone to read it.]

Once this post was published, it caused a huge stir, and within minutes the comment section exploded.

Chapter 180 This CP is so good!

[I love instant noodles: Teacher Qianjian is alive!]

[When Love Knocks on the Door: Teacher Qianjian actually participated in the "Short Story Awards"? Instead of focusing on writing, she has time to write short stories? Is she just bored?]

[Anonymous Guest: I don't really enjoy reading short stories, but if it's written by Qianjian-sensei, I'm still willing to support her!]

[Clinging to the master's leg: I'm going to lock Qianjian-sensei in a dark room! I'll diligently write every day!]

[General Jingyuan: I'm quite interested in Qianjian's new work. The title sounds intriguing, "Wolf," and it seems to be a story about wolves.]

[Tomato and Egg Stir-fry: Very disappointing! What's so interesting about writing a wolf story? It's just a tired, overused tale. I don't even need to read it to guess that the wolf is the bad guy, gets killed by the good guys, and that's the end.]

[Raiden: I don't really care, I'll definitely read Qianjian's works anyway, but what I really want to see right now is the sequel to "The King's Avatar," I feel restless if I don't read it for a day.]

The comments section was filled with diverse opinions. Some were dismissive, some expressed anticipation, and others were indifferent. However, overall, Qianjian's fans were not very receptive to his new work. Most of the comments expressed dissatisfaction with his "neglecting his duties" and suggested that he should use that time to write more words.

Readers are unaware that all the remaining chapters of "The King's Avatar" are actually in Raven's hands. These past few days, Raven has done nothing but enjoy reading novels every day, euphemistically calling it "censorship."

Bai Qianqu was unaware of the readers' reactions. After posting the update, he logged out of Qianjian's account and logged into Quyin's account, repeating the same trick by reposting Qianjian's update using Quyin's account.

He had gone to great lengths to complete the system's task of reading ten million times, making the most of every resource at hand.

Although he still had faith in "Wolf" and thought it could achieve a good ranking, it's always better to be cautious than to be naive.

He completed the task of publishing the comic on World Snake Comics, which can only offset the penalty of failing one task.

In any case, he has to complete one of the two tasks.

Qu Yin's comment section was quickly flooded with comments, but Qu Yin's fans were clearly used to her reposting Qian Jian's posts, and they mostly joked about the relationship between the two.

[Some people are saying that Qu Yin doesn't know Qian Jian. If she didn't know him, would she be so dedicated to promoting Qian Jian?]
