I collapsed from the top, and the system just showed up?

That night, Wang Mo and Yuan Xiong got thoroughly drunk.

Yuan Xiong got drunk after seeing that Wang Mo wasn’t crushed by his collapse and the burden on his heart finally lifted.

Wang Mo got drunk as he simply couldn’t handle alcohol.

The next morning at 8 o’clock:

“Ring, ring, ring~~~”

The alarm, no… the system’s voice rang out, accompanied by a call from deep within his mind: [Host, it’s time to get up.]

Wang Mo woke up groggily, getting his phone to turn off the alarm, only to find out that he hadn’t set an alarm at all.

Yuan Xiong had also left at some point.

He patted his butt.

It wasn’t sore.

He rubbed his eyes and got up, saying, “System, the alarm did a good job, please keep it up.”

System: [Please behave yourself, I’m not an alarm clock. I kindly reminded you just this once because you didn’t set an alarm.]

“Thanks, then!”

As he washed his face and brushed his teeth, he asked, “System, I’ve already completed the previous task. Why hasn’t any new task appeared?”

System: [Assigning tasks to the host is to better supervise the host. Having more tasks doesn’t always translate to more success, and the host shouldn’t only rely on system. Your development should progress systematically especially at the initial phase, and the special circumstances for the tasks have not been met so, please continue to work hard, when the time comes, new tasks will be triggered naturally.]

Wang Mo understood.

This calculated approach to the task was indeed good.

In his previous life, he had read many system novels, and most protagonists ended up as slaves to the system, which was not what he wanted.

Only by taking control of his own life, with the system playing a supporting role, would he be able to utilize the system to its utmost.

…

Wang Mo was slowly getting used to his life.

However, the online world was in a chaos.

After the publicity from Yunhai Media.

In just one day, “It Doesn’t Matter” completed a seven-fold killing spree, rising from the tenth place straight to the third on the new talent chart.

Yun Net’s ranking mechanism was based on:

Playback count, download count, and the number of favorites.

These three sets of data were calculated using a fixed formula to determine the score and the subsequent ranking.

Currently, the data for “It Doesn’t Matter” showed:

Plays: 257,000 times.

Downloads: 29,000 times.

Favorites: 156,000 times.

Whether it was regular users or members, their main focus was on listening to songs. Unless they were hardcore fans, they rarely downloaded a song.

After all, on Yun Net, downloading a song would cost 2 yuan.

Generally, the ratio of plays to downloads for a song was around 100:1, and some songs even got a staggering 1000:1 ratio.

So, the download count of 29,000 might seem low, but it was already a particularly high ratio.

At this moment, many people online were caught off guard by the achievements of “It Doesn’t Matter.”

Newcomers who released songs in August were particularly desperate.

Especially for Su Qing, who was originally ranked third on the new talent chart with his song “I Love Studying.” He thought he had secured his position at third place, but unexpectedly, he didn’t even get to sit firmly for a few days as he looked at his drop!

Fourth and third were entirely two different concepts.

He felt heartbroken.

He was sad.

But as he witnessed the increasing gap between “It Doesn’t Matter” and his own song, he could only swallow his tears in silence.

His third place was gone~~~

Currently, two songs were ahead of “It Doesn’t Matter.”

Ranking first: “My Song Is Very Nice,” by Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao was an actor and played the male lead in several movies. Due to his handsome appearance and passable voice, his company decided to have him venture into the music industry.

With a massive fan base and the company’s promotion, Zhang Mao quickly secured the first position on the new talent chart.

Current data:

Plays: 813,000 times.

Downloads: 32,000 times.

Favorites: 331,000 times.

Ranking second: “Come On, Baby!” by Li Zhiling.

Li Zhiling was also a newcomer strongly promoted by a top entertainment company. Having just participated in a music program, she easily gained popularity by releasing a song amidst the show’s hype.

Current data:

Plays: 478,000 times.

Downloads: 11,000 times.

Favorites: 182,000 times.

The top three songs were experiencing a drastic decline in their data.

The gaps between them were too large.

So, most people believed that the top three positions were basically fixed and wouldn’t change anymore.

However.

Gradually, people began to find it strange.

Starting from the third day, all songs, including the first and second, saw a gradual decline in all aspects of data. After all, it was impossible to maintain a climax indefinitely.

For example, on the third day, “My Song Is Very Nice” had a daily playback of 250,000 times, which dropped to 170,000 on the fourth day and further plummeted to 110,000 on the fifth day.

The decrease in “Come On, Baby!” was even more significant. On the third day, it gained 150,000 plays, directly halved to 80,000 on the fourth day, and only 50,000 increased on the fifth day.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the playback of “It Doesn’t Matter” not only did not decrease but rose against the trend.

On the third day: 100,000 times.

On the fourth day: 110,000 times.

On the fifth day: 130,000 times.

Isn’t this too weird?

What kind of song is this?

Such a strong potential!

Of course, even though “It Doesn’t Matter” had such momentum, there was still a considerable gap from the second place.

However, its gap with the fourth place was becoming larger and larger, securing the third place firmly.

“Wuwuwu, my third, completely gone.”

Su Qing originally planned to ask the company to increase promotion, and even invest some money himself to try and reclaim his third place. But seeing “It Doesn’t Matter” becoming more and more powerful, his heart turned cold.

Just when Su Qing felt utterly defeated.

Ding, ding, ding~~~
His QQ rang.

Opening it, he saw a message: “Are you in pain?”

Surprisingly, the message was from Zhao Long. Su Qing knew Zhao Long because a couple of days ago, when he was ranked third on the new talent chart, Zhao Long was in fourth place. The latter thought it was impossible to surpass him, so he added him on QQ to express goodwill.

Who would have thought that he would suddenly send such a message.

Su Qing grumbled, “Of course, who wouldn’t be in pain?”

Zhao Long replied, “I have a way to relieve your pain. Do you want to hear it?”

A few minutes later, Su Qing posted on Weibo: “Congratulations to ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ for claiming the third spot on the new talent chart. I deeply admire it. Also, please support @Hao Mingxing’s song. It’s really good! I admit defeat.”

This Weibo turned into a frenzy instantly sparking a considerable amount of reactions.

Fans commented one after another.

“Brother Qing is so humble!”

“Brother Qing is right, we can only afford to lose against such a song.”

“Wow, Su Qing lost and still praised the opponent? I truly admire his spirit.”

“Brother Qing has a broad mind, truly admirable. Originally, I hated that ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ took Brother Qing’s spotlight, but since Brother Qing says so, I’ll go support it.”

“I have to admit ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ is indeed good.”

“Following Brother Qing’s words, supporting ‘It Doesn’t Matter’!”

“Supporting ‘It Doesn’t Matter’!”

“Let’s go!”

So.

Unexpectedly, Su Qing’s fanbase swarmed to the page of “It Doesn’t Matter” like a tide.

Playback!

Downloads!

Favorites!

As a result, the already rising data of “It Doesn’t Matter” saw another surge.

Li Zhiling, who was in the second position, was dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

Originally, there was a considerable gap between her song and the second position, but how did the opponent catch up so quickly?

Quick!
Increase promotion quickly!
However, before the new round of promotion at the company could begin, Li Zhiling saw that her “Come On, Baby!” had been pushed down to the third position.

Her second place.

Gone!

She had only enjoyed the second position for a few days, and now it was gone. Who could bear this?

At the same time, seeing Li Zhiling drop out of the second place and becoming third.

Su Qing, who was originally pale, cleared away his accumulated frustration. Lying back on the chair, he showed a satisfied smile. “Indeed, it feels good now.”

After eating a few bites of fruit.

Su Qing blinked.

He felt comfortable.

But what about Li Zhiling?

Never mind.

Let him be the good guy.

So, after some thought, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Zhiling: “Sis, are you in pain?”
