37 Eternal Life in Blood (2/2)

”Yes, I've heard of them. Their songs aren't that bad! They're very catchy”

”What the f*ck do you mean by 'they're very catchy?' You are too picky with your music. Nature's Echoes' songs are worthy of the heavens! They are sung by our Goddess, Lin Huiyin!” Chen Xiu exclaimed. He was beginning to exhibit signs of insanity.

”Ah.” Wang Zheng didn't understand what these three guys were trying to get at. They seemed to be moving farther and farther away from the point. Lin Huiyin was someone that was hugely popular. She was a celebrity in the Milky Way, an Arslan citizen. She was known by everyone! However, to Wang Zheng, her songs were just that, songs. They were easy to listen to, and that was it. He didn't pay much attention to the world of music.

Chen Xiu did not understand Wang Zheng's lack of excitement. ”Are you from an older generation? I didn't realize that there was such an age gap between the two of us! Goddess Huiyin is my idol. If I could just meet her once in this lifetime, I could die happy! It is my dream to meet her!” As a representative of his generation, Chen Xiu was completely obsessed with her. He was even more fanatical about his goddess than he was for Skeleton!

”Okay, these two idiots are going crazy because Lin Huiyin's agent has contacted them. Her agent was hoping to use God Skeleton's combat footage for Lin Huiyin's upcoming music video. Now do you see why these two are losing their minds?” Zhang Shan smiled.

He too loved Lin Huiyin's music as it was very soothing and refreshing to listen to. Perhaps Wang Zheng's standards for music were too high. Or maybe Chen Xiu was right and Wang Zheng was simply too old fashioned.

”Oh, are you sure it's not a scam?” Wang Zheng asked in concern.

The three guys were growing increasingly frantic at Wang Zheng's calm demeanor. It turned out that the strangest guy in the dormitory was actually Wang Zheng.

After his time with Bonehead, nothing could faze Wang Zheng anymore.

After meeting Little Shi, nothing could surprise Wang Zheng anymore.

Bonehead could be a military instructor and Little Shi was a princess in disguise. What in the world could be more outrageous than that?

”Just go for it, I guess,” Wang Zheng said, unenthusiastically.

”You're acting as if you're Skeleton and this is no big deal to you! F*ck! Although we were the ones who created the Skeleton Corps, we actually have no power to release Skeleton's videos for commercial purposes. We have already sent a message to Skeleton, but we don't even know if he will reply! My God, if this works out, it will be a miracle! My god and my goddess will combine into one! God!”

Wang Zheng was speechless. What the hell did he mean by combining into one?

”Actually, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't matter. This is just a hobby for you guys anyway, right?” Wang Zheng shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

Yao Ailun was exasperated with his friend. ”Brother Zheng, you don't play CT! You wouldn't understand! You have never tasted defeated over and over again! But I have! It was so bad that I wanted to die! God Skeleton gives me spiritual release, while Goddess Huiyin helps me to ease my frustrations!

The other two chimed in. ”Wang Zheng, it doesn't matter whether you agree to this or not. It is only right for us to support our brother. We too agree in this union between God Skeleton and Goddess Huiyin! It is the culmination of our hopes and dreams!”

Yao Ailun adjusted his spectacles. His skill with crafting CT theories and analytics was unrivalled by anyone, but his actual performance was terrible. He was horrendous at piloting a mech. As such, he had a lot of pent up frustrations in his heart, frustrations which he could not release. But all of a sudden, Yao Ailun had found a person who could represent his dreams. He was able to live vicariously through Skeleton!

Wang Zheng could not understand their feelings, but he could see that his friends were wholly committed to this dream.

”Well, since you all have such a strong belief in this, I am sure Skeleton will agree to it.”

”Don't forget, if it works out, you must get several signed posters from him!”

”Of course! That goes without saying!”

Wang Zheng shook his head and left to check his Skylink. In his CT mailbox, he found Extremely Handsome's message asking for his approval. He replied his approval, as it did not make a difference to him either way.

The moment he replied, Chen Xiu, who happened to be sitting just beside him, immediately shot up and screamed, ”Success! Success! It's a miracle!”

His dance of joy made Chen Xiu look like a little kid. Yao Ailun, who was standing at the side, was much more controlled. ”After he signs the promotional posters, make sure he includes an autograph of his picture!”

Although Lin Huiyin was not the number 1 beauty in the Milky Way, to her fans, she was a Goddess, perfect in every way. Her fans were innumerable.

It was unknown as to why such a popular entity would suddenly take note of Skeleton's battle footage.

Back in the CT Asian Region office, Solon was taken by surprise at the collaboration between Lin Huiyin and Skeleton. Fortune had come so unexpectedly!

He had spent a lot of time and effort promoting the battle, but this outcome was just spectacular! No one could have seen this coming! Solon almost had a heart attack from hearing the news of Lin Huiyin and Skeleton's upcoming music video. This was just too intense.

A vast, wide world was opening its gates to him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Solon's mind. Believe in Skeleton and you will be reborn!

The constant windfall of good luck had wholly convinced him. Skeleton was a miracle worker.

Meanwhile, Lin Huiyin's PR team had made an announcement through the Government Net.

News of her collaboration with Skeleton was generally positive, but there were many who questioned the decision. For one, the Arslan Empire possessed numerous CT experts, yet the chosen player was from the distant planet Earth! And he wasn't even a high-ranking player! Furthermore, the new single was supposed to be a motivational song, and this was not Lin Huiyin's usual music direction.

Could she pull it off?

Her cute and sweet persona was unrivalled. But succeeding in the music industry took more than looks and personality. An idol would need to keep creating fresh, new material. Everyone understood her intentions of pushing the limits of her comfort zone and having grand aspirations for a new music video. But in reality, such a drastic career shift did not usually play out well. The failure rate for doing so was extremely high. Her fans did not want to believe that their beautiful Princess Lin Huiyin could potentially create a bad music video!

Yet the most faithful of her fans still gave their full support to her, while her rivals continued to sulk, envious of her courage and boldness.

Wang Zheng had no idea what Goddess Lin was like. However, he was sure that this goddess was currently in the midst of an unstable state of affairs.

That evening, Wang Zheng was summoned to Xiao Fei's quarters. As she was in the privacy of her own dormitory, Xiao Fei was dressed very casually. She was in loose-fitting pajamas, and she gave off the image of an innocent but sensual beauty. As her clothing was quite loose, her snow-white skin would occasionally be exposed.

At this point in time, Student Wang was sitting right in front of her. Xiao Fei was pacing circles around him, deep in thought as she scrutinized him with predatory eyes. It looked as if she was deciding on how to cook Wang Zheng. Should he be baked in sweet and sour sauce? Or should he be stir-fried with mixed garlic…

”Ahem. Professor, could you please get to the point? If I knew anything, I would have told it to you already!”

Wang Zheng was extremely fearful of the empress who stood before him. She had complete control over his future.

”Haha, that would be for the best. You should know that I am quite skilled at sniffing out lies. Now tell me, did you solve Marcus' question?”

”Who is Marcus? What question are you talking about? I am so busy that I don't even have time to help others!”

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly.

”That wasn't you? Do you recall the day I asked you to pass some materials to Marcus? If I remember correctly, you had taken quite a bit of time to do so.” At this point, it felt like a detective interrogating a suspect. Xiao Fei stared at Wang Zheng with a burning gaze, like a bee who had just found a fresh flower.
