Chapter 16 Youth Yearbook
But even though it was disgusting, Jiang Rumeng had no intention of jumping out to ruin Lilia's plan.
After all, the current situation is very favorable to her.
If Lilia wins, Jiang Qin's reputation will be further ruined. Considering her mother's face-conscious personality, she will probably never publicly acknowledge her in her lifetime.
And if Jiang Qin wins, then Lilia will most likely be expelled from school.
By then, there will be no more annoying people like this in the dormitory, so she is happy to sit back and watch the fight.
***
Facing Lilia's provocation, Jiang Qin remained calm, even though three negative comments appeared in one second.
“I’m not here today to argue with you about who originally wrote those three songs.
Aren't you a top student in the Music Department of Toronto University? Then you should be brave enough to accept the challenge of a woman from a barren planet, right?
Lilia raised her eyebrows and asked, "Comparing what?"
"It's simple. We'll compare your expertise, composition, lyrics, and singing skills, and use software to create questions and give you scores. Pretty fair, right?"
Lilia didn't say anything, but kept smiling and looked to the side frequently.
A minute later, that confident smile appeared on her face again, and it seemed that she had received some reassurance.
The answer is easy to guess. Maybe someone prepared a lot of songs for her to cheat.
Jiang Qin was not panicked at all. No matter how much she prepared, could it be possible for her to produce more than what she had on Earth?
Sure enough, after she had a clear idea in her mind, she immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll compete with you, but if you lose, you have to admit that you plagiarized and return the copyright of those three songs to me."
"Sure. Similarly, if you lose, you'll have to admit that you slandered me and make a public online apology in a video. The video will be kept private for seven days."
The two parties agreed on a bet and then applied to the platform for a mastermind to referee the game.
The Mastermind Judge is a branch of the Federation Star Network Mastermind.
It is an absolutely fair and just entity. No one can interfere with its judgment, and no one can influence its thinking.
Its scoring can be accurate to the decimal point, so Jiang Qin feels more at ease having it as the judge than having a human.
Soon, the main referee responded to their request, and a small robot appeared on the live broadcast interface.
Jiang Qin and Lilia now have an additional option to prepare.
After both parties have made their choices, the referee robot begins to draw questions.
[Question 1: As graduation season approaches, please perform a new song about school, graduation, and youth.]
[Yeah, this title is good. I like this type of song.]
[Unconsciously, graduation season has arrived again. How many new faces will appear on the battlefield this year?]
[Children, cherish your time in school, because once you graduate, you will face a cruel reality.]
[I heard that the cold wave will arrive early this year, and the beast tide is expected to be more severe than in previous years.]
………
The composing time is twenty minutes per song. You can sing new songs from your inventory, but you must ensure that they are your own copyrights.
The order of priority is also determined by drawing lots.
Just click to start extracting the order of appearance and you will get a number.
Jiang Qin started to draw after only five minutes. Lilia on the opposite side saw this and started to draw as well, giving her a provocative look.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Jiang. I was thinking I'd sing first to give you more time to prepare, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good."
Lilia smiled at her somewhat smugly.
After all, composing and writing lyrics within twenty minutes is really a tight schedule.
And if there is no time to warm up the voice, it is easy to make mistakes, so the person who sings first will be at a disadvantage.
But this is exactly what Jiang Qin wants.
Because she was afraid that the opponent would lose and then use this as an excuse to quibble. After all, with Lilia's thick skin, the probability of this happening is quite high.
However, Jiang Qin was too lazy to act with her. She just calmly held the guitar, tested the sound, and then began to play formally.
"I give you my heart as a memorial
This love is fresh any time you open it
With me by your side, all the bitterness will turn into sweetness..."
[Another song of a type I haven't heard before, but it's the same genre as the three songs she released before.]
[Yes, although the styles are different, the genres are similar. They both focus on emotional expression and have relatively clean sounds.]
[Most of the songs in our Federation have sharper synthesized sounds, completely different from Jiang Qin's songs.]
[It’s obvious that these songs are almost certainly from the same source, and can be considered a new style of music.]
[Tsk tsk, this plagiarism is quite intriguing.]
"Last summer
Counting shells and waves on the beach
We pray that this day next year
And still able to maintain such a carefree smile..."
Jiang Qin, who was originally still feeling angry, calmed down the moment the guitar started playing.
Her emotions were gradually infected by the song, as if she saw the scene she had once longed for.
Wearing school uniform, holding flowers in hand, with classmates beside her, they smiled at the camera together.
However, there is no graduation photo in her life.
“No matter how big the storm is, I will keep moving forward.
Our love is embedded in the album of youth..."
Pan Yangxia, who originally just wanted to come in to support her idol, was instantly captivated by the song.
He excitedly said to his roommate, “I know what song we’re going to sing at this year’s graduation party!
As for this song, when we sing it together, I think we can sing it in several parts and then have a chorus at the end."
"Is this a new song? I haven't heard it before?"
"It's a song that hasn't been released yet. It's my idol Jiang Qin's new song. She's competing with someone on it."
The people nearby immediately came over curiously.
The two beautiful faces on the screen instantly captured the hearts of these single men.
"Wow! Both of these little females are so beautiful. Who is your idol?"
Pan Yangxia pointed at Jiang Qin and said, "She is Miss Jiang Qin. Do you see what she is holding? If I'm not mistaken, it should be an ancient musical instrument, a guitar."
"??? Are you playing ancient musical instruments now?"
Another person was also shocked, "No way? There are still people who don't use software to play, and directly use ancient instruments. Is that so awesome?"
"Yes!" Otherwise why would he admire Jiang Qin so much.
No matter how many people doubted her, he would believe her.
He didn't believe that someone who could play multiple ancient instruments needed to steal other people's music scores.
This new song is proof of that.
Soon, the referee gave Jiang Qin a score.
[High-quality new song, full of appeal, correct theme, good timbre, some minor mistakes in singing, rated 96.35 points.
Bonus points: Playing ancient musical instruments +3 points.
The final score was 99.35 points.
Then it was Lilia's turn to sing.
I have to say, she is a student of the music department after all, and although her singing skills are not great, they are not that bad either.
But Jiang Qin felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Because some of the tunes in this song are too sharp, and the sharpness is sudden, and the lyrics are even more plain.
