I Am A Prodigy Chapter 734

With a vicious glow in his eyes, George immediately posted another status. [It's fake! It's a shameless fake! Do you really think a Chinese person can write such an amazing English song? If it was only one song, that might be attributed to sudden inspiration. However, this second song only took seven days. Which of the experienced singers in our own country can achieve such a feat? Moreover this is just a Chinese guy.
[Hehe, the Chinese are really skilled at making fakes. I'm afraid everything is within their control. These two songs must be the work they poured everything into. They're intentionally hyping this up in order to gain fame quickly.]
George presented it as though he had seen through everything and extended his disgust to all Chinese people.
He never once considered that the current situation was caused by his own actions. If he did not make those brazen statements, Ye Lingchen would not have written the second song. However, as the saying went, shamelessness knows no bounds. At that moment, George and Dani no longer knew what shame was.
Nevertheless, the status update had an effect and managed to divert a lot of attention away from them, especially from the foreigners.
[Now that George mentioned it, that seems to be the case.]
[I've suspected this from some time ago. How can a Chinese person write such an excellent English song?]
[F*ck, the Chinese are too shameless. They are just playing us for a fool.]
[George is a professional lyricist after all. He managed to see through the scheme in one glance. It's very difficult to write a song. How can the Chinese write such a good one just like that? Moreover, it's only been a week. How is that convincing?]
[So they came prepared. They must've had the support of an entire team.]
[Those two songs must be planned well in advance. What an elaborate plan.]

…
The arrogant foreigners finally found an excuse. It was not that they were outdone by the Chinese, but the Chinese cheated instead. It could only be said that they were too shameless.
Of course, it was inevitable that the foreigners and Chinese people started a flame war.
[F*ck, those foreigners are so shameless!]
[Sore losers. What a joke!]
[Is Singer Y's strength something you can fathom? Plebeians!]
…
Seeing the online attention was successfully diverted, George let out a sigh and smiled, muttering smugly to himself, "Hahaha, everything is under my control. No sweat."
Upon witnessing that, Dani was shocked. "George, that's amazing. You managed to turn that around."
"That's nothing," George said with a smile, "Online discussions are like a sword, devoid of its own will. It all depended on how one used it! To be honest, I learned these tricks from the Chinese themselves. Hehe, giving them a taste of their own medicine feels so good."
"I'm impressed," Dani wiped the sweat off face and let out a big relieved sigh. He then licked his lips. "Since it's that easy to divert attention, let's bring this to the next level."
George was stupefied. "Oh? What did you plan to do?"
Two hours later, the discussions online grew more heated. A lot of Chinese people were stewing in anger. By that point, the end result no longer mattered as both parties were stuck in a heated argument.
Right then, another piece of explosive news came out from nowhere.
Mary was a famous international lyricist. Her works were widely known since a decade ago, with countless classics under her name. However, in the past decade, she was having difficulty catching up with the times. She was running out of gas as she had no famous songs under her name for some time.
Nevertheless, she still made a post. [Looking at the internet discussing which countrymen is more talented makes me feel embarrassed. I shouldn't be the one to say this as I'm supposed to keep my promises. I don't want to break my promise! However, seeing two English songs from China putting down the talents of our country, I feel deeply hurt. After some serious thinking, I finally came to an understanding. Even with my reputation in ruins, I need to stand up for my country's music industry. Actually...I'm the one that wrote the lyrics for those two songs by Singer Y.]

It was a shocking statement that stunned everyone!
Right after that, the foreigners grew extremely excited.
[F*ck me! It's just like I suspected!]
[I knew it! There's no way a Chinese person could have written it.]
[So it's Mary. That's no wonder then.]
[She didn't produce any works for the past ten years. It seems that she's gone to write for the Chinese. What a talent.]
[That's such a nice song. It's a waste to have written it for the Chinese.]
[Since you came forward, your mistake of writing for the Chinese people shall be forgiven.]
[So there's a deal being made. That makes sense now! The Chinese are just too despicable. Mary, we'll support you!]
…
Following that, the various entertainment media platforms grew restless. They were like famished wolves that caught the scent of meat, rushing in to report on this in droves.
Regardless of the country, media platforms had always been the ones to fan the flames. All that mattered to them was the scope of the news. Everything else was irrelevant.
[Mary stuns all after breaking ten year's silence!]
[Stealing results, the shamelessness of Chinese singers!]
[Shocking news, truth behind the hit songs!]
[Can Chinese people write English songs?]
Article after article quickly filled the corners of the internet, with the majority of them disparaging Singer Y. At the same time, they praised the music of their own country and looked down on Chinese music and its singers.
Meanwhile, on China's Weibo, everyone was stunned.
It was not because of the so-called truth, but rather the shamelessness of those people that shocked them.
[F*ck, they can do that?]
[Motherf*cker, what kind of crap is this? How can someone believe such nonsense?]
[How can someone just make a bold plagiarism claim like that and be taken seriously?]
[I really feel like laughing. Even the movies won't dare to have such a plot.]
[That's too shameless! It's showing me a new level of shamelessness from the foreigners.]
[It can't be helped. Our music industry and the international music industry has different norms. There's nothing much we can do to them.]
[Bring them to court. That's copyright infringement! Singer Y, sue them!]
[Tch, how are you going to sue them in their country? The foreigners will surely side with their own.]
[That's right, our country's law doesn't apply to them. F*ck!]
A lot of people were triggered.
There were other similar shameless actions, especially on rights of ownership. If you claimed this item or territory to be yours and they deny it vehemently, what could you do?
Dani's recording studio…
Dani and George snickered. 'Hehe, you shouldn't have picked a fight with us on our home field.'
"With this, even if this Singer Y is really talented, it's useless," Dani said with a laugh.
"That's right. Moreover, Mary just took over the copyrights of two songs. Hahaha, the Chinese people will be vomiting blood this round," George surmised.
Dani added, "Did you make it clear to Mary that we're splitting the price of those two songs's copyrights fee?"
"Don't worry, that goes without saying. We're all on the same boat after all."

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
