Chapter 6: Anonymous Comfort

Jiang Qin is not a person who lacks self-awareness, so now that she has a cheat, she won't pretend to be noble and refuse to use it.

On the contrary, she is only happy—happy that she has finally been favored by fortune for once.

However, she is a bit puzzled about her reputation points.

Because there are actually 138,466 points!

According to the system's calculation, there are about eighty guests in the bar tonight, and over twenty staff members.

If each person only generated 1 reputation point, she should only have a little over a hundred points.

How could this number be so outrageous?

She can't figure it out.

But since she is the one benefiting, Jiang Qin can only set aside her doubts, assuming that a flawed system having a few bugs is nothing strange.

"Miss Jiang, are you ready? The next soothing session is about to begin."

After drinking some water and browsing the system shop for a while, a staff member soon came to call her.

Other than Jiang Qin, there are no other females in the bar; the staff are all males, so she has a private room.

Here, the boss has prepared some supplies for her, and there is even a compartment with a bed where she can rest.

To be honest, Jiang Qin is truly satisfied with this job.

She only needs to sing two songs a day, the monthly salary is a million, room and board are included, and there are many other benefits.

After answering the staff member, she sat down at the piano again, waiting to go on stage.

***

At this moment, the bar's front desk is going crazy.

"Hey, the one collecting money, can you hurry up? The soothing session is about to start, right?"

The male in charge of collecting entrance fees has a sore hand from constantly processing star coins and registering entry information.

"Stop rushing me, stop rushing me, I'm already going as fast as I can."

He doesn't know what's going on, but since 8:30, a steady stream of guests has been arriving at their bar.

There are nearly a thousand guests in the bar now, yet hundreds more are still waiting in line.

Undoubtedly, these people all came after watching An Zeyu's livestream.

His livestream tonight hit the local trending list, drawing in many locals, who happened to see the scene of Jiang Qin singing.

So, many came to debunk the "fake," but many others came because Jiang Qin sings beautifully.

You Wei is laughing like crazy seeing this scene. He asked his friend triumphantly, "Look, didn't I say so? I, You Wei, never do business that loses money."

"This Miss Jiang is indeed quite extraordinary."

Clearly, C-rank soothing should be useless to them, but Zhu Yongkang just tested it and found that his riot value had actually dropped by 0.01%.

Although it was very little, it was enough to be surprising.

He said with some regret, "If her rank were higher, even males from the main star would come to pursue her."

"This is just fine as it is. If she were an A-rank or S-rank female, there would be no chance for us."

That is true. If Jiang Qin were a high-rank female, let alone working in a bar, they wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of her.

The moment the lights went out, all the males fell silent in unison.

The males in charge of security surrounded the stage, fearing that some male might irrationally try to get close to the female.

Jiang Qin was still wearing that simple white dress.

The light shone on her slender fingers, making them seem as if they were glowing.

"The next song I will bring to you is: 'Anonymous Comfort'."

Jiang Qin played earnestly, and the pleasant notes drifted through the bar, calming everyone's hearts.

[I no longer shed tears

Trying hard to understand that this world is imperfect

How many victories and defeats in this journey

Realizing the absurdity of reality...]

The soft, ethereal female voice seemed to have a magical power that cleansed the soul.

The throbbing in their heads eased due to the peace of mind.

At this moment, in the hearts of these males tortured by genetic pain, Jiang Qin truly felt like an angel.

She was so gentle and peaceful that it was impossible for anyone to harbor any malicious thoughts.

Kelu was closing his eyes, listening carefully to the singing.

He is a mercenary who spends most of his time fighting in the wild; his riot value is as high as 75%, and he is only a few years away from a complete berserk state.

Therefore, there is not a moment when his body is not in pain.

He hasn't felt a sense of ease in a long time.

He didn't expect that he, who only came to Moonlight Bar because it was cheap, would receive such a huge surprise here.

The only pity is that the time for one song is too short...

[Sometimes I'm very tired but I hear "don't be discouraged"

Who is standing in the distance guarding me

Silent but precious

This loneliness is too perfect...]

"Anonymous Comfort" is also one of the songs Jiang Qin used to love.

Whenever she finished a day's work exhausted, listening to music quietly was her most relaxing time of the day.

Listening to these heartwarming songs always made her feel that there would be an end to her dark life.

She would also welcome her dawn.

[I tell myself, after the sadness, another chance

Thank you for this lonely beauty...]

After it ended, Jiang Qin was sent back to the backstage by the stage mechanism.

To avoid accidents, the boss had told her that it was best not to get too close to the guests.

After all, those who come to the bar are single males; if some male were to act irrationally and do something to hurt her, it would be bad.

Therefore, the bar would protect her well, keeping her at a distance from the guests so that no contact would occur.

***

After the female left, those males who had been restraining themselves finally dared to speak.

They clinked their glasses, gulping down the inhibitors that mimicked the taste of alcohol, their condition better than ever before.

"I feel like today's soothing is enough to support me for a trip to the wild, at the very least."

Some males had already discovered the drop in their riot value, but none of them said it out loud.

One must know that even a bar is not something they, as males, can afford to come to every day.

Even though Moonlight Bar is already 100 star coins cheaper than other bars for the entrance fee.

So they knew that once this was discovered, they would never be able to get soothing again. For their own sake, they naturally chose silence.

Even An Zeyu was the same.

He measured his riot value again behind the camera; this time it dropped by 1%.

In other words, he only spent a small amount of star coins, and his riot value for the night dropped by 3%!

He didn't need to beg a female, nor did he need to be a partner to a female. As long as Jiang Qin stayed at Moonlight Bar, he could even go his whole life without finding a mate and nothing would happen.

This temptation was too great for him. Even if Jiang Qin only worked for a few years, he could still gain quite a lot of benefits.

Therefore, after a silence, he chose to clarify in the livestream room.

"Actually, it was a misunderstanding just now. I suddenly discovered that my optical computer seems to have a problem; the small program for measuring riot value is inaccurate.

I'm very sorry for misleading everyone. I'm sorry."

[I knew it, how could there be such a thing as being able to soothe just by singing well.]

[Exactly, there are so many singers in the interstellar, and even orcs with mermaid genes; other than singing nicely, they have no effect at all.]

[Avoiding this bar. To attract customers, they actually let a little female use this method to grab attention.]
