Chapter 735: 100 Million For One Song!

Ye Lingchen walked into his study and picked out a book on medicine titled Esoteric Scriptures of the Yellow Emperor.

However, even after holding it in his hand for some time, it showed no signs of increasing his proficiency. He could not help but make a pained smile as he moved on to pick a different book.

His Chinese Medicine proficiency was already over 90%. It meant that he had already grasped the majority of the knowledge he could find in the books. Without someone making a compendium of Chinese medicine for him, he could only try his luck from various books. Fortunately, he was in no rush and slowly made his way to pick through the books.

Looking at the medical book in his hand, Ye Lingchen could not help but reminisce of the first day he acquired the system. Back then, he went to the hospital to accompany his father and started learning from the medical books lying around. As things developed, he had somehow managed to save Lin Tianxiong using the medical knowledge he learned on the fly.

Thinking back, it seemed like a dream. Fate was really mysterious.

However, even though he started learning about Chinese Medicine since then, it had yet to reach 100% proficiency. What a shame.

While he was deep in thoughts, Dong Miaomiao ran over in a hurry. Her face was flushed and seemed to carry a hint of anger.

“What’s wrong? Who triggered you?” Ye Lingchen asked, mildly surprised. Dong Miaomiao was a woman that would hardly get affected by the outside world. She was a business genius that would not let her emotions get to her. Under normal circumstances, she would show a gentle side with the occasional mischievous flair.

Dong Miaomiao glared at him, then huffed, “So you don’t care?”

‘Don’t care?’

Ye Lingchen was caught off guard, but quickly came to realization. Dong Miaomiao was talking about the discussions on the internet.

“I didn’t expect you to follow my singing.” Ye Lingchen shook his head while smiling. “It’s their mouths and they’re overseas. What’s the point of caring?”

“But they are too shameless! You should voice out and reprimand them.” Dong Miaomiao said angrily.

She waited for a whole week just to see Ye Lingchen’s famous face slapping. Originally, she was waiting for Ye Lingchen to use some plot to destroy the despicable Dani. However, she waited for all that time without anything happening. It turned out that Ye Lingchen was reading some books.

“Don’t you know this is just enabling the criminals? Chairman Ye, where’s your spirit?” Dong Miaomiao continued, “I know a very good lawyer. We’ll win this lawsuit for sure.”

Ye Lingchen could not hold himself back from laughing. “Hey, how’s the production of Canine Bane Pill’s production? How are you so free to care about such silly matters?”

“The bottom line is, we must not be taken advantage of!” Dong Miaomiao was firm. After that, she gave Ye Lingchen a suspicious look and asked, “That’s not like you. I’ve never seen you being taken advantage of since the day I know you. Are you hiding some sort of trump card?”

Ye Lingchen shrugged and laughed. “Just wait and see. Someone will help me settle this.”

Such matters were child’s play for him. If it were in the past, he might have considered giving the other party a good round of face slapping. However, his mindset had changed. He did not have the time to deal with these small fries.

“Someone will help you settle it? Who’s helping you?” Dong Miaomiao asked skeptically with a frown on her face.

Ye Lingchen continued, “You’re here just in time. Help me search for rare and weird books from this book rack.”

Dong Miaomiao took another look at the online discussions then put away her phone. She nodded and said, “Sure.”

…

Dani’s recording studio…

Dani and George had a smile plastered on their faces. The feeling of control they had over the topic was exhilarating. Who could have known that they would end up the ultimate winner with only some plotting?

“Hahaha, controlling the flow of the discussion and guiding it,” Dani laughed while speaking, “and continue to hire cyber warriors. This round, I don’t want to just take advantage of Singer Y, but also ruin his reputation at the same time!”

George nodded. “How dare a single Chinese guy extend his reach to our country. I’ll have him understand that there’s no place for him here!”

Both of them followed the discussions online and would occasionally jump in to guide the flow of the conversation, especially when they realized that Singer Y had turned into a coward. The lack of reaction to the online discussions from him bolstered their bravery.

‘Hahaha, so what if you can write songs? If you can’t control the public opinion, you’re just trash! Doom awaits!’

Dani and George were both exhilarated and doing mental calculations on how much this would benefit them.

On the other side, Mary’s face was flushed from the excitement, especially when she saw her half dead popularity suddenly bouncing back to life. The sight of that made her whole body shake in excitement.

Ten years!

It had been ten full years!

She was finally remembered by the masses. This move might even enable her to have a chance at the Golden Lyricist prize.

Although her methods were shady, that did not matter as long as it brought her benefits!

Just as the three were pondering about their future, another piece of news appeared on the internet!

That news was originally fairly unnoticeable. However, the article came from a very authoritative source that stunned the majority of the foreign audience!

It came from Marvel Studios!

The bright red logo was extremely eye-catching. That news just appeared on Marvel’s homepage announcement.

[Something Just Like This is a good match for the Marvel superheroes and our studio is planning to use 100 million to purchase the copyrights from Singer Y!”

Marvel had the biggest fanbase in the world. As soon as the news was announced, its views had already exceeded the hundred thousandth mark and continued to climb!

[F*ck! Am I dreaming? This must be a dream.]

[100 million? F*ck, it’s a hundred f*cking million!]

[Marvel sure is rich. As expected of the big shot!]

[That’s so scary. I’ll die from laughter even with just one million, much less a hundred million.]

[One song is worth a hundred million? That’s just daylight robbery! This is crazy!]

[Singer Y sure struck gold. F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, I’m so jealous!]

[That’s not right. Why are they asking Singer Y for copyrights? Did Marvel make a mistake? This song doesn’t belong to Singer Y!]

[The previous post is right. The money belongs to our country. How can we let the Chinese scam them away? We should warn Marvel!]

[Let’s go, we’ll go leave a reminder on Marvel’s official site.]

[I’ll go and warn Mary. She wrote the song and the money should be hers!]

…

Dani, George, and Mary were similarly dumbfounded by Marvel’s offer.

It was unbelievable. Such an astronomical figure was not something they dared to even dream of.

When they came to, all three of them shuddered at the same time as the hairs on their backs stood on end. That was not out of fear, but rather, excitement!

That was 100 million!

At that moment, everyone thought the song was written by Mary. As long as they came forward…then the 100 million would belong to them!

They have hit the jackpot!

“Quick! Quickly update your status! Mary, you must maintain your stance. Remember, you’re the one that wrote the song. Quickly go claim it! That one hundred million will be ours!” Dani urged.
