The same world, the same night.

As one of the recognized Maestros in the music world, the competitive Ye Zhi Qiu was also sitting in front of his computer, giving the freshly baked new season’s songs he was interested in a listen—

Same as Fei Yang.

Ye Zhi Qiu first listened to Fei Yang’s “New World.”

This was a song composed by Yin Dong.

The other was a Maestro like himself this season, and despite having the same title, Yin Dong always had a slightly higher reputation in the industry.

It took a few minutes.

After finishing listening to the other’s song, Ye Zhi Qiu fell silent for a moment, then opened “Red Sun”.

The song that made Zheng Jing give in, it surely wouldn’t disappoint me. What style would Xian Yu adopt this time?

He pondered inwardly.

The playback had already begun.

At the start, Ye Zhi Qiu’s expression was clearly curious, but about ten seconds in, his eyebrows gradually furrowed, revealing deep forehead lines, and underneath his gaze seemed to carry a touch of surprise—

As the song progressed.

The surprise increased.

When he finished listening to the entire song, Ye Zhi Qiu’s expression was slightly heavy, with a complex meaning. Then, thinking of something, he suddenly chuckled, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

“Hello.”

A somewhat tired and clearly dissatisfied voice came from the other end.

It was none other than his old rival, Yin Dong: “What’s the meaning of bothering me so late at night?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Have you listened to the song?”

Ye Zhi Qiu ignored his discontent.

Yin Dong’s voice regained composure: “Isn’t it just the same if I listen tomorrow? Or is the song you wrote better than mine this time? If that’s the case, there’s no need for you to show off so urgently. The score between us is twelve to five, I’ve beaten you twelve times.”

“Now it’s thirteen to five.”

Ye Zhi Qiu said laughingly, without getting angry: “You win again, but you also lose. To be exact, we both lost.”

After saying this, Ye Zhi Qiu hung up.

He believed, the other would soon call back.

Just as Ye Zhi Qiu had anticipated.

About five minutes later, Yin Dong called back, and the first thing he said was: “I might have lost a buck.”

Ye Zhi Qiu replied unhappily: “I lost a hundred.”

Yin Dongdao: “The song is well written… Xian Yu, not bad.”

Ye Zhi Qiu took a deep breath: “Do you know how old ‘Fish’ is this year?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“How old?”

“She hasn’t even graduated from college yet!”

“Impossible!”

Yin Dong almost subconsciously replied.

Ye Zhi Qiu shook his head: “I couldn’t believe it either, but Zheng Jing told me personally.”

As Ye Zhi Qiu finished his sentence, the line was silent, seemingly digesting this news.

After a long pause, Yin Dongdao lowered his voice, “Another Lu Sheng, eh…”

Lu Sheng, one of Blue Star’s Maestros.

Famed at a young age, became a gold medal composer at twenty-two, took twelve consecutive victories in the seasonal charts at thirty-two, becoming a Maestro and setting the record for the youngest Maestro in Blue Star. He’s recognised as a genius in the Blue Star composing world!

And now.

It seems like someone is moving in the same direction.

Ye Zhi Qiu sighed: “It’s too early to say, but he has the potential. That’s why I’m calling you so late, the younger generation is getting stronger and stronger, we old-timers have to stick together.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Interesting.”

Ignoring Ye Zhi Qiu’s joke, Yin Dongdao spoke with a somewhat low voice, no one knowing what he was actually thinking.

…

Maestros and Singing Kings can judge the situation of the new season from the first impression of the songs.

Perhaps some strong industry insiders can come to a similar conclusion.

But this group of people is indeed a minority.

Most people judge the situation from the leaderboard of the season.

Or maybe the attention to this season is truly too great, Qin Qi Music’s official leaderboard was released the next morning, effectively changing the leaderboard rules.

And in front of this leaderboard.

It was bound to shock countless people!

Nothing else.

Only because the current number one song on this list was the “Red Sun” written by Xian Yu and performed by Lan Yan!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Second place: “New World”

Third place: “Bloom”

Fourth place is Lonely…

Fifth place is Momo…

The rest wasn’t important anymore!

Because the most unexpected situation had occurred, unexpected enough to make countless industry insiders cry out in disbelief in front of their computers:

“First place is actually ‘Red Sun’!??”

Before seeing the leaderboard, everyone instinctively assumed that the first place would be claimed by either the duo Yin Dong and Fei Yang, or the duo Ye Zhi Qiu and Haitang.

No other reasons needed.

Simply because Yin Dong and Ye Zhi Qiu were the bigshot Maestros in the circle!

So these guys’ works, no matter who got the first place, wouldn’t shock the industry too much.

But the result…

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The one who snagged first place wasn’t any of the two Maestros, but the rather under-the-radar duo Xian Yu and Lan Yan!

“Damn, a major event has occurred!”

“Are my eyes deceiving me?”

“Did Xian Yu actually beat the two Maestros?”

“I can’t believe I’m witnessing the downfall of the two Maestros. Who on earth can stop ‘Fish’ now!?”

“The last time a Maestro failed so miserably dates back years, right…?”

“Isn’t this ‘Fish’ overly terrifying!”

“You call this a ‘fish’? This is a damn great white shark! What did I say before? Is Xian Yu one of the Maestros in disguise!”

“Pretend to be a sheep, but is actually a wolf?”

“I’m going to cry, I bet twenty grand, twenty grand, ten grand on Yin Dong-Fei Yang duo for first place, another ten grand on Ye Zhi Qiu-Haitang duo for second place, but neither of the bets won!?”

“What do you have to complain about, I bet thirty grand!”

“Thank goodness I didn’t bet, but as far as I know, our manager bet over hundred grand. I don’t know who he bet on, but I’m sure he didn’t bet on Xian Yu…”

“What were the people who bet on Xian Yu thinking!”

“I don’t know why they bet on Xian Yu, I just know that it’s gonna be crowded on the rooftop today, gotta go, it’s almost my turn.”

“…”

This was the first time everyone in Qin Qi collectively felt the shock brought by Xian Yu since the merger.

And amidst the shock, there were countless cries of anguish, because there were so many circles involved in the December betting pool!

The industry insiders thought they knew it all,

And since they did, why not bet?

As a result of this assumed understanding and betting, things went south.

Although these guys do know a thing or two—

We can look at it this way. If you remove the song “Red Sun”, every song ranked afterwards would move up one spot on the list, with results identical to the professional predictions previously made by the industry!

Precise!

Spot-on predictions!

But with the unexpected rise of “Red Sun”, all these predictions have shifted a spot creating the “the difference of a hair’s breadth is the distance of a thousand miles” situation!

Just because they misread a single song!

So, countless punters cried to the heavens and wailed on earth!

Through one tiny misstep, they muddled through!

The first of December was not only the day when the initial results of the Battle of the Gods were revealed, but also the last day for countless betting dogs…
