I Am A Prodigy Chapter 187
Advertisement
The next day, after three days of development, QQ Music's list finally made a huge change.
This change was sufficient to shock everyone.
At that moment, on the trending chart, three new songs were rising through the ranks at an alarming speed!
Chaser of the Light, Boundless Sea and Sky, and Light Years Away!
Singer—Chen Xiaoyan!
Lyrics—Y!
Melody—Y!
These three songs were displayed on QQ Music's recommendation banner. That spot was originally only meant for superstars, yet at that moment, it was showcasing all three of Chen Xiaoyan's songs!
It was an event that went beyond the imagination for the ordinary folks.
Opening up QQ Music, one could witness the crazed state of those three song's statistics.
The first day's download count reached 500,000!
The second day's download count reached 1,200,000!
As for that morning, the total download count has reached 2,600,000!
It dominated the top three places on both the new release and daily hits chart!
Placing 36th, 48th, and 52nd respectively on the trending chart!
That was only the third day after uploading!
With such amazing statistics, the implications were clear. Chen Xiaoyan's influence in the music scene was on par with the superstars.
Meanwhile, Singer Y and Chen Xiaoyan's Weibo erupted with activity.
[Ahhh, Chen Xiaoyan, did you see that? You dominated the chart at the top!]
[Sob sob sob, As a morning light, I'm crying. I'm truly happy for Chen Xiaoyan.]
[This is true strength. China's Top Voice is not worthy of Chen Xiaoyan performing on their stage!]
[Finally a song release. I've been waiting for so long. Cut the nonsense, I'm playing this on loop for one month!]
[Previous post, you're too slow. I'm playing it on loop for two days now!]
[I just can't tire from this. Such heavenly music. Just the thought of Chen Xiaoyan getting disqualified makes me anxious!]

[China's Top Voice's reputation is done for!]
…
Back at QQ Music's back end operation, Little Chen and the other music editors were similarly shocked.
Although they had anticipated Chen Xiaoyan's songs to be a hit, they did not expect it to gain this much traction.
With this momentum, it was highly probable for her song to claim the top three in the trending chart!
"Amazing, absolutely amazing! If Top Voice[1] saw these results, they might just cry!"
"Hahaha, what to do? With Chen Xiaoyan off their stage, they've suffered a great loss!"
"All three songs topped the charts, each of them a classic. What was Top Voice thinking not taking any action to salvage that? Such idiots!"
Little Chen smiled instead. "That's not all. There are better things in store for China's Top Voice!"
His gaze fell on another song title—Some People!
That song was similarly soaring through the chart at an amazing speed. However, due to its recommendation being placed in a more obscured spot, its result was not as great as Chen Xiaoyan's songs. Nonetheless, it had limitless potential!
With only two day's worth of minor recommendations, Some People's download count was over 230,000!
Those statistics were extremely terrifying. For a new song with an empty slate, those results were eye-popping.
Most importantly, it was composed and sung by Y himself! Once it becomes a hit, that would set everything alight!
Friday approached!
Little Hai was a generic white collar worker. He did not have any special hobbies. He enjoyed listening to some music during his downtime to soothe his feelings.
"What a surprise! Three of Chen Xiaoyan's new songs were released in QQ Music!" He selected the song, then shut his eyes as he enjoyed the music.
Apart from that, he would check out the new release chart for some interesting new songs.
As a long time music fan, he was very picky with songs. As he continued to scroll downwards, his hand suddenly froze.

'Eh?'
He had not heard of this song, and the statistics seem promising!
Great improvements each day, while the popularity and placement of the song rose quickly.
The song was titled as Some People. What a weird name.
'Should I try it out?'
Clicking into Some People, he could not help but frown at what he saw. The singing, melody, and lyrics were all done by Y.
'What's the meaning of this? Impersonating my idol?'
With the recent rise in popularity for Y, it was inevitable to have many impersonators. Some would even come out as Y, but without exception, all of them failed to prove their ability.
Y's popularity was not just by its name, but was instead judged by its recognition by the masses!
'This must be another one of those attention seekers. If this song sounds bad, I must criticize this person until he deletes his account and song!'
At the same time, the song has begun—
"Some people travel the world, some people work hard their whole life.
Some people sweet-talk, and some have long been numb.
Some people think the poor love the rich, some people only think of money…"
With the deep, low voice at the start, it immediately swept away all his notions, calming his heart.
Progressing through the song, the surprise in Little Hai's eyes grew. The lyrics and the emotions that the song conveyed resonated strongly with him.
Society was filled with various people. For their own benefit, they would play their roles. People dealing with numbness, struggles, authority, forbearance, and countless other experiences flashed before his eyes. The complex emotions blossomed within his heart. He had never imagined that a song could pack so much within it.
Furthermore, the voice in the song was captivating, having perfect control over the melody.
Without realizing it, he had already listened for 10 times without growing tired of it!
'This song, isn't this about life?'
Little Hai's eyes felt teary. In the song, he saw himself, and tears unwittingly flowed down his cheeks.
Right then, he opened the song reviews. As expected, it was flooded with good reviews.
[F*ck! Amazing song! This is truly an amazing song!]
[I'm not bullsh*tting. This is the only song that made me cry like a baby!]
[Sob sob sob, I cry every time I listen to this. So impactful and relatable!]
[Genius! One must be a genius to write a song like this!]
[Listening to the end, I got woke. No matter what methods we employ, we are but dust at the end of our lives. I just wish for a life without regrets!]
[This song is on a constant loop in my head. I think I'm addicted…]
[When I first saw the name Y, I didn't want to listen to it as I fear it might ruin Y's image. Now, I realize my mistake. Everyone, do you think the singer is the real Y?]
…
Little Hai slowly read through the comments, but his heart was unable to calm down. His boiling passion within him demanded to be vented out.
Finally, he sat straight and started to write his review.
[The song—Some People, lacked the fancy shower of words, nor does it contain elegant phrases. However, the lyrics shoot straight through one's heart. The more you listen, the more the tears come. This song is truly a work of art! As of now, it is the one song that left the deepest mark within me! Personally, I think it's very likely that this song is written and sung by Y himself!"

The world outside of the game is sci fi and has very little impact at least for the first year due to obvious reasons. No gore or explicit sex in this story, if cursing requires a mature tag I will add it later, this story is at best PG-13. Tragedy is for his circumstances and previous life, the game itself isn't tragic at all as it's just a game more or less.(This story will be put out alongside my main story whenever I feel like it for now, no set schedule at this time)
