Liu Guangmin was just an ordinary fan among the thousands of Luo Lingxing fans. She became a fan of Luo Lingxing when he starred in ‘The Enchantress’. Throughout the series of events that Luo Lingxing went through, she had always firmly supported him. She was considered a true fan who had been with Luo Lingxing for a long time and had never left.
However, Liu Guangmin had always been a silent supporter of Luo Lingxing. She didn’t like to manage things, so she hasn’t entered the core of the fan circle, nor did she participate in every activity like some fanatic fans. Therefore, she was very ordinary in the fan circle, just silently supporting her idol from the outside.
Liu Guangmin didn’t attend Luo Lingxing’s concert, since the ticket price was a bit high for ordinary people. However, she bought three copies of Luo Lingxing’s music album to keep as collectibles.
That day, she was listening to Luo Lingxing’s music in her room when her father’s voice came from outside, “Xiao Min, your brother is back.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guangmin’s eyes lit up, and she immediately ran out of the room, without even turning off the music.
Liu Guangmin’s older brother, Liu Guanghui, was a soldier in the Empire, serving in the first legion. He rarely came home and usually only returned during the Chinese New Year. He must have returned on his annual leave this time as well.
“Brother.” Liu Guangmin was very happy to see her brother and gave him a big hug.
Liu Guanghui was also very happy, after all, this was his beloved younger sister since childhood. However, before he could give his sister a big hug, a familiar piece of music started playing, which suddenly made him excited.
“Brother?” Liu Guangmin looked up and called out in confusion when she saw that her brother hadn’t moved for a while.
“Xiao Min, is there music playing at home?” Liu Guanghui tried hard to control his emotions, but he couldn’t. He believed that if the other members of the First Legion heard this music, they would have the same reaction as him, or even a stronger one.
Liu Guangmin listened for a moment and realized that the music was coming from her room. She then remembered that she had left the music on and nodded, saying, “Yes, I was listening to it and forgot to turn it off.”
“Where…where did you get this?” Liu Guanghua felt his voice trembling slightly, his heart filled with anticipation.
He wasn’t mistaken. The music his sister was listening to was exactly the same as the music young master Luo had given them. Even the effect was the same. Although the effect in the music was very weak now, he could still feel it.
“Are you talking about the little prince’s music album?” “I snagged it online,” Liu Guangmin said, assuming her brother was also interested in Luo Lingxing, and happily shared with him, “Brother, let me tell you, the little prince is really amazing! Not only is he a great actor, but he also plays the guqin very well, blah blah blah…”
When talking about her idol, Liu Guangmin seemed to light up, but Liu Guanghui only heard the keywords “music album” and “snagged”. <Google Translate v2>
“You mean this music can be bought online?” Liu Guanghui asked uncertainly.
“Yes, you can find the little prince’s music album on the official website. Originally, there was only a limited number of albums available, but many people couldn’t get them. Later, thanks to everyone’s efforts, Jun Ling released many more,” Liu Guangmin said happily, because she was one of the people who couldn’t get one at first.
“Can you show it to me?” Liu Guanghui had calmed down after being so excited. If he could really buy these albums, and they were as good as the music that young master Luo had given them, could he buy more so that he could listen to them and train on his own?
Thinking of this, Liu Guanghui felt a surge of warmth in his heart and couldn’t wait to try it out. However, the effect of the music he had just heard was already very weak, and even if he listened to it while training, it wouldn’t improve his performance much.
He didn’t know if the album was like this from the beginning, or if its effect weakened because he had listened to it for a long time already.
When Liu Guangmin heard that his brother was also interested, she was very happy to have found a “like-minded person” and naturally took out a new, unopened album without hesitation.
“I bought three copies at once. This one is new, and I haven’t listened to it yet. I’m giving it to you, brother. You might not know, but this music always makes people feel good. You can give it a listen too.” Liu Guangmin said as if presenting a treasure. Liu Guanghui held the brand-new album, looked at the photo printed on it, and suddenly froze. Wasn’t this Young Master Luo?
Why was young master Luo printed on this album?
Seeing her brother staring at Luo Lingxing, Liu Guangmin became even more certain that her brother liked Luo Lingxing. She couldn’t help but secretly rejoice. She never expected that her brother would also be a fan of celebrities, and even liked the same idol as her. How wonderful!
“Brother, this is the little prince. Isn’t he very handsome?” Liu Guangmin teased.
Liu Guanghui was completely bewildered by the information he had received, and his mind was a little slow to process it.
“The little prince?” Liu Guanghui murmured. Could it just be someone who looked a lot like young master Luo? But no matter how one looked at it, it looked just like Young Master Luo.
From Xiao Min’s introduction, it seemed he could act and play instruments. He must be a celebrity. He should look him up online later. If she was a celebrity, there should be information about him online.
So, Liu Guanghui said goodbye to his sister, parents, and went back to his room. He then turned on his terminal and searched for Luo Lingxing’s name. The sheer volume of information that appeared after the search startled Liu Guanghui. He never knew that Young Master Luo was so famous in the entertainment industry.
As soldiers, they spent most of the year either at the military district or on missions, except for the short time they spent at home. They pay most attention to military and national affairs and rarely followed the entertainment industry. Therefore, they naturally didn’t know that Luo Lingxing was so famous. Of course, they also wouldn’t know the public’s knowledge that Ye Luohan was Han Junzhan.
The more Liu Guanghui read, the more admiration he felt for Luo Lingxing. By the end, the light in his eyes was almost identical to that of his sister earlier, indicating that another member was about to join Luo’s fanbase.
Originally, Liu Guanghui, like the people in the military, admired Luo Lingxing, but his knowledge of him was limited to that of a lieutenant, Major General Han’s partner, and the holder of martial arts techniques. Now, however, he knew much more about him, including that he was a celebrity with many fans, a Go master, a master of calligraphy and painting, a highly skilled musician, and even a member of the Art Society. With each new level of knowledge, his admiration for Luo Lingxing grew beyond words, and he became a complete and utter fanatic of Luo Lingxing.
“So Young Master Luo is really that amazing. It’s such an honor to know him and be able to get close to him.” Liu Guanghui smiled foolishly. Luckily, he was in his room, otherwise, if his sister saw him, his image as a tall and mighty older brother would definitely collapse instantly.
Liu Guanghui looked at the album his sister had given him, opened it, put it in the player, and listened to the soothing and familiar music. The invigorating power surged up, just like when he was training in the army.
Liu Guanghui felt that this was the biggest gain from this trip home. They had all thought that if they could get their hands on this kind of music in private, wouldn’t they be able to continue training efficiently after the training ended? However, none of them knew the origin of this music. Some even thought it might be young master Luo’s own treasured collection, which he generously shared with them.
Actually, it was fair to call it one of Young Master Luo’s treasured possessions, since it was recorded by Young Master Luo himself, and it was the first of its kind in the Empire. Wasn’t that a treasured possession?
After his initial excitement subsided, Liu Guanghui didn’t forget to open his terminal, find Junling Entertainment’s official website, and immediately placed an order for fifty copies of the album that looked exactly like the one in his hand.
Although young master Luo said he would provide it for them, after seeing the price of the album, he knew how much young master Luo had done for them. It was one thing for him to selflessly guide their training, but it would be really unreasonable to expect young master Luo to make such selfless contributions.
Moreover, he had just learned that buying these albums could help young master Luo increase sales, so he was even more willing. After all, just listening to this music could uplift one’s mood and boost one’s mental strength.
Ordinary people may not have a deep understanding of mental energy, but soldiers, especially mecha pilots, valued mental energy highly. This music could increase their mental energy, although not by much, but even a little was enough to make them flock to it.
After placing the order, Liu Guanghui immediately relayed the news to the various group leaders of the First Legion, believing that everyone would make the same choice as him.
As a result, the employees of Jun Ling Entertainment discovered that after the initial explosive sales of Luo Lingxing’s music album, the sales gradually stabilized, maintaining around a few units per day. However, in the past few days, the sales suddenly surged again, and if they hadn’t done anything, they would have suspected that someone was inflating the sales figures.
“Director Chen, what’s going on?” someone asked worriedly.
If it were just a one-day surge in sales, it would be understandable, as some wealthy person might have bought a lot of copies at once. But if it had continued for several days in a row, then this situation would have been a bit strange.
Although they all knew they hadn’t inflated Luo Lingxing’s sales figures, this situation was still very likely to arouse suspicion, especially among the haters, who would certainly not let this go.
“Don’t worry, as long as we don’t lie, we don’t have to worry about what others will say,” Chen Hongliang replied. Although he said that, he was also a little worried.
As if to confirm their concerns, the matter had been the subject of much discussion online.
The album sales figures released by singers were publicly available online, and there were even charts. This was to allow fans to see the data more directly, ensuring openness and fairness. Of course, if wealthy fans were willing to boost their idols’ sales, they wouldn’t stop. This was simply to prevent companies from artificially inflating sales figures for their artists.
However, this was Luo Lingxing’s first time releasing a music album. After the album was released, someone quickly created a sales chart. Although it only showed Luo Lingxing’s album, at least it was clear.
Therefore, the surge in sales over the past two days had attracted some attention.
Hater 1: Hehe… Is Jun Ling Entertainment not satisfied with its current achievements and has started to inflate sales figures for someone? This is way too obvious, isn’t it?
Hater 2: The data growth these past few days is obviously strange. Shouldn’t Jun Ling Entertainment come out and explain what’s going on?
