In the early hours of August 1st, although Jiang Qin hadn’t uploaded a new song, people searching her na still found one.
"Naless People"
No one had heard of the singer, but the arranger and lyricist were very familiar!
So, the Jiang Fan rushed to download it in support.
He Zhuoqun’s voice was relatively deep, tinged with a hint of world-weariness despite his youth, completely different from Jiang Qin’s style.
His version was more empathetic than Jiang Qin’s.
It truly captured a kind of calm inspiration.
It was clearly ant to encourage all the naless people not to give up and to strive forward, yet it was expressed in a very tranquil tone.
In the dead of night, many people were still hard at work.
The city’s office workers had mostly clocked out.
But it was those who didn’t work regular jobs who still had to toil on this rainy night.
For example, security details, rcenary Corps, Bounty Hunters, and researchers.
Their work knew no day or night.
Sotis, they didn’t even have ti to sleep, resorting to potions that forced them to stay awake.
Frek was a driver.
At 62, he was actually a retired rcenary, his Riot Value having reached a high of 79%.
It was only a matter of ti before he could no longer maintain his human form.
And so, today, he had lost his job again.
When his Riot Value was still at 77%, his employer had kept him on out of consideration for their past relationship.
But now that it had reached 79%, his employer wasn’t willing to take the risk and had fired him.
After all, the profession of a driver was more or less disposable.
Today’s Flying Cars were mostly self-driving or piloted by robots.
Only so nobles and wealthy elites still used Beastman drivers, as it was a symbol of status.
But it was rely icing on the cake.
His employer was a rich man who didn’t care much for pomp. Frek had only gotten this job after retirent because he had inadvertently helped the man during a past mission.
Now that he posed a risk, his employer was naturally unwilling to keep him on.
After all, for that small favor to have earned him nearly ten years of work was already considered generous of his employer.
But having lost his job, he felt lost.
So he parked his car in a corner, turned on the music, and sat staring blankly into space.
He hadn’t even been paying attention to the lodies of the previous songs, not until this one ca on.
"I am a naless person on this road
I have no news and no one to comnt
I must give my all to earn an ordinary script..."
Just the first few lines of the lyrics captured his heart and soul.
He, who had been lost in a daze, snapped back to reality. The thought of simply ending it all was temporarily set aside.
’Yes, I’m one of this world’s naless people.’
The comrades who had once faced life and death with him had beco like strangers after he left the rcenary Corps.
And in the eyes of the employer who had hired him for years, he was probably just another charity case.
His father had passed away long ago, and his mother probably didn’t even rember a son like him.
He had no partner, either.
No one in this world would rember him. Even though he had tried so hard to live, he still hadn’t managed to make a decent life for himself.
Once he lost this driver job, it ant he could no longer afford Inhibitors, nor could he hire a soothing master.
In less than a month, he would likely lose control and revert to his beast form.
And a few months after that, he would beco a mindless beast.
That’s why just a mont ago, he had been thinking of ending it all.
’I’m going to die sooner or later anyway. It’s better to die while I can still rember who I am.’
But after listening to the song, a wave of indignation suddenly surged within him.
’Was I born just to co into this world, drink cheap nutrient liquid, and live a life of dancing with death?’
No, he didn’t want to die!
Frek started up the Flying Car again, left the dark corner, and sped off into the wind and rain, racing toward a chance at life.

At the sa ti, the two singers under Tianwen Entertainnt also uploaded their respective songs.
"Joy is enough" and "Once You".
They hadn’t really wanted to release them at the sa ti, because it guaranteed that even if both songs were good enough to take first place, one would inevitably fall short.
Of course, they hadn’t held such an extravagant hope originally.
But Jiang Qin had given them that hope.
However, perhaps still lacking confidence, they decided to release them together after so consideration.
They weren’t hoping for first place anymore; getting into the top ten would be great. Plus, they could ride the wave of Jiang Qin’s popularity.
After all, if they delayed, no one could guarantee what would happen later.
So they just went ahead and released them together.
Those who had been eagerly waiting were ecstatic. They hurriedly downloaded the songs and put them on repeat.
In just one night, all three songs entered the top ten on the new song chart.
This once again proved Jiang Qin’s skill.
At the sa ti, so people were very intrigued by this and wanted to commission a song from Jiang Qin. After all, those rankings looked too tempting.
In just a few short days, He Zhuoqun, a newcor, had caught the eye of all the major entertainnt companies.
In the end, He Zhuoqun chose to sign with Tianwen Entertainnt.
The contract wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t harsh either.
He went for it because Jiang Qin was collaborating with Tianwen. Of course, he also knew that the reason Tianwen had extended an olive branch was most likely because he had sung a song composed by Jiang Qin.
If not for that, he didn’t have much of an advantage to speak of.
Before Jiang Qin, his type of voice wasn’t popular in the Federation.

「August 7th, Jiang Qin arrived on the Main Star.」
You Wei had arranged accommodation for her and her entourage, but he himself was not on the Main Star. He had been sent to work on another planet by his father.
So, Zhu Yongkang had to handle the establishnt of the new bar on the Main Star all by himself.
Today, Uncle Kang’s expression was absolutely foul.
He worked while cursing under his breath.
He had to pick a location, handle renovations, hire staff, and so on. It would take at least half a month of busy work before they could open again.
It was said he also had to persuade a few females to co work at the bar.
Because the bar scene on the Main Star was extrely competitive. Without B-level females, it was basically impossible to get by.
But Jiang Qin didn’t need to worry about these things.
Accompanied by her bodyguards, Xie An’an, and Xie Lili, she arrived at the foot of the Tianwen Entertainnt building.
That’s right, Xie An’an had also co to the Main Star.
Jiang Qin had given her a choice; even if she stayed on Blue Star, Jiang Qin would have helped her find a new job.
But Xie An’an was unwilling, choosing to follow Jiang Qin instead.
And after learning that Jiang Qin needed another assistant, she recomnded her cousin, Xie Lili.
Jiang Qin had an impression of the girl, too. She was a different type of girl from An’an.
A sweet-talker, high emotional intelligence, savvy, and very smart.
However, she wasn’t as strong as Xie An’an. The two of them were a complentary pair—one bold, one delicate.
Because Jiang Qin had brought too many people, the rest of her bodyguards were stopped, leaving only Shi Lichuan and the two sisters to wait with her in the first-floor lobby.
The two sisters were afraid of embarrassing Jiang Qin, so although they were very curious about the big company, they controlled their wandering eyes.
Even so, passersby still shot them looks of surprise or contempt.
