Chapter 270 (1/2)
: Second Year of High School Begins
The whole of Zhao Youyue’s latest live stream had been recorded by a loyal fan who was subsequently uploaded to Bilibili[1], which of course, went viral!
This was mainly because Bilibili was filled with fans of “The Strongest King” and was somewhat a platform for the die-hard fans to share information about the novel with each other. Now, since a live streamer had popped up from nowhere, who could not only perfectly imitate the gaming skills and playstyle of Yu Shengfan, the main character in “The Strongest King”, but also sing the song – “Parallel Galaxies” in the real world, even though it was a song that only existed in the novel, who wouldn’t be surprised?
Some crazy fans were constantly uploading and sharing their fan artworks and renditions of Yu Shengfan, but the only thing that they could not get a hold of was “Parallel Galaxies,” originally sung by Ah Yu herself. Now that there is finally someone able to recreate the song in the real world, and so flawlessly at that too, can there possibly be any other fanmade material that can top this?
Today is the day the live streamer Ah Yu becomes known to the group of fans of 2D characters. However, this time, Zhao Youyue did not advertise herself as Douyu’s Yu Shengfan in order to gain more attention. Due to her increasing popularity, the 2D fans became inclined into thinking that she was the 3D version of Ah Yu…
Previously, no matter how many times she claims to be the 3D Yu Shengfan, her follower count would not really increase, and nobody would go so far as to deliberately record her entire live stream.
Evidently, her popularity and influence on the general public were both experiencing a gradual increase.
However, the ‘aesthetic researchers’ of “Beautiful April” were not smitten by this live streamer who became a hot topic, all of a sudden. Even though Bilibili was not the main platform for the fans of “Beautiful April,” as they tend to gather on other platforms like Weibo, Douban[2] and Zhihu[3] instead, they were still up to date and aware of what was trending.
The news had spread like wildfire across various platforms. Therefore the “Beautiful April” fans obviously got to know about the live streamer called “Ah Yu” who sang songs from the novel which were written by Chu Luoxun, like “Sweet” and “I Left the Sadness to Myself.”
Initially, when the ‘aesthetic researchers’ heard of such news, they immediately gave a snort of contempt, as they only harbored one school of thought —- —-
It would be very much appreciated if no one attempts to tarnish the reputation of the perfect, musically talented Goddess Chu, how could anyone in the real world possibly recreate the work of Goddess Chu?
However, the moment they finished listening to Ah Yu’s version of “Sweet” and “I Left the Sadness to Myself,” they were speechless!
Which planet is this magical being Ah Yu from?
Could it be, that she is a professional composer? Or is she an expert singer-songwriter that specializes in making original pieces?
Considering how difficult it is to be able to create original pieces that sound this pleasant, and are even very capable of becoming hit songs, why would she proceed to randomly sing them during a live stream like it means nothing to her…
If she is not the one that made the songs, why would the original maker allow her to simply use the songs as she liked. Wouldn’t this be a total waste of the true potential of the songs?
Wouldn’t she want to profit from these songs?
Is she just like Chu Luoxun, one who finds the most joy in sharing her music?
This is simply inconceivable!
Consequently, a lot of “Beautiful April” fans soon developed a new interest in this particular female live streamer. When they heard that she was also good at playing the violin, they grew even more surprised!
Could it be that Chu Luoxun, who died on the operating table in the novel, had been revived in the real world?
If so, what did this female live streamer Ah Yu look like, is she flawlessly beautiful like Goddess Chu?
It was a pity that Ah Yu had never turned her camera on, ever. Nobody had any idea on how she looked like at all. All that is known is that she was exceptionally talented, and had a beautiful voice with an extensive vocal range which allows her to easily switch between various types of voices, mature, lolita, you name it.
However, there were still some Chu Luoxun extremists who were unwilling to admit that Ah Yu’s version of “Sweet” and “I Left the Sadness to Myself” were pure perfection. Although deep in their hearts they knew it was the truth, they did not want to accept it. To them, there will never be anyone in the real world who can have the musical talent of Goddess Chu!
Someone as perfect as Goddess Chu can only exist in novels…
Howsoever, there is no doubt that the female live streamer Ah Yu’s popularity had recently risen at a shocking pace, on Douyu. When the Douyu officials saw that she had great potential, they went on to advertise her everywhere, causing her followers and subscription count to increase rapidly to the point where it reached more than a million people.
