Su Nian, relying on memories from her past life, silently transcribed the melody and lyrics of a song.
Moments later.
The paper was filled with writing in this world’s script.
It was a translated version of a song titled “Let It Go,” complete with musical notation.
With her master-level singing skills, she could now transcribe melodies she’d heard before.
In her previous life, this theme song from “Frozen” had won multiple awards for Best Song and become a classic.
More importantly, it was particularly suited to this world of swords and magic.
Coincidentally, she could now use ice magic just like Elsa in the movie, dancing and singing while incorporating ice spells.
A perfect match!
Of course, she wouldn’t waste this mental effort for nothing.
Keeping this song wouldn’t benefit her much, but selling the copyright to Matthew might fetch a good sum-after all, he had 10,000 gold coins.
Even after selling it, she would still be the one performing it.
There was no helping it…
No other mage was willing to integrate magic into song and dance performances.
Two days later.
Outside the Dream Butterfly Song and Dance Troupe in Academy City, a group of people took down the old signboard.
They replaced it with the new name: “Magic Feather Fantasia.”
Though Su Nian thought the name was rather mediocre, Matthew was paying for it, and he insisted on including “fantasy” to represent his vision of creating an idol group, while “magic” highlighted their mage characteristics.
Additionally, they removed the “song and dance troupe” suffix, allowing for more diverse performance styles.
After installing the “Magic Feather Fantasia” sign, they added a row of glowing magical text at the entrance:
“In three days Academy City’s Central Square-Magic Feather Fantasia’s debut performance simultaneously broadcast across all 32 cities of the continent.”
Using his financial prowess, Matthew traveled to every city accessible by public teleportation arrays, renting plots in their central squares and arranging projection crystals for the upcoming event.
Everything was prepared, but the final outcome depended entirely on their debut performance.
If the debut turned out disastrous, all their recent investments would be completely wasted.
But that wasn’t even the main concern.
The real issue was that his dream of creating a girl idol group might end right there.
Still, he believed in that woman.
Their debut would succeed!
Moreover, he had a trump card-Su Nian’s larger-than-life promotional poster.
He was certain the debut’s popularity would be… explosive!
Most competitors in the city and curious onlookers remained skeptical.
The original Dream Butterfly Troupe had been forced to sell to Matthew due to financial struggles.
Now they were abandoning touring revenue for a new format-capturing performances with projection crystals for simultaneous broadcasts across cities.
Even if they gained some popularity, who would pay for admission tickets under this model?
For now, most people believed “Magic Feather Fantasia” wouldn’t last three months.
On the second and third floors of Magic Feather Fantasia’s building, an enormous poster fluttered in the wind.
Su Nian elbowed Matthew beside her.
“You… you think this looks good?! It’s so embarrassing.”
She glanced around, noticing numerous passersby staring up at the towering poster.
Clearly, Su Nian wasn’t yet accustomed to being the center of attention.
“Yeah, I think it looks great.” Matthew grinned goofily.
Amy and Lise, standing nearby, also chimed in.
“Captain Su Nian’s image is truly photogenic. The poster is absolutely stunning. With this, our debut performance in three days is bound to attract massive popularity,” Amy said with full confidence.
Amy was originally the lead vocalist of the Dream Butterfly Song and Dance Troupe, now transformed into a member of Magic Feather Fantasy.
“Tch, what’s the use of popularity if we can’t make money?” Lise, the lead dancer of Dream Butterfly, muttered beside her.
Originally, the Dream Butterfly Song and Dance Troupe wasn’t lacking in popularity.
With her and Amy’s coordination, every stage performance had excellent effects, even receiving many tips from the audience.
But song and dance troupes aren’t just about stage performance.
During tours, every city has its own local powers and resident troupes.
Without good relations with them, even the best performances are useless.
“Don’t worry, Lise. Trust me, this time will be completely different,” Su Nian walked over to Lise and comforted her.
Though it was hard to explain.
Through the photography crystal balls and the screen crystal blocks in each city, they could achieve effects similar to “television.”
For traditional song and dance, the popularity of programs appearing on TV…
It was simply… a dimensional downgrade in comparison!
As for making money?
The path had already been paved by predecessors.
They could just collect advertising fees.
Now, Magic Feather Fantasy was the continent’s only “media.”
Even a mere ten-second ad during their performances could significantly boost a brand’s value.
And…
She had already convinced Matthew.
Public broadcasts wouldn’t be charged; only “MV” copies like those replayable crystal balls would require payment.
This way, free high-quality performances would make their popularity incomparable to touring troupes.
“Captain Su Nian… I believe in you,” Lise said hesitantly, looking at the young woman before her.
Initially, she too had doubted this woman.
What qualified her to lead this new troupe?
As a dancer, good looks alone weren’t enough.
But after a dance-off, she had conceded.
“Let’s continue training. At least for our debut in three days, the audience will surely be large, especially for the final new song, Let It Go. We need to focus on that,” Su Nian said.
“Alright!” Amy and Lise responded in unison.
***
Northern part of the Monster Forest.
Chu Tian was leading an assault on a tribe of 1,000 lizardmen.
During battles, Chu Tian would transform into a horned demon, becoming more decisive and ruthless in this state, with a body perfectly suited for combat.
“Ding dong, absorbed fear emotions: 634, anger value +22,634.”
“Ding dong, absorbed resentment emotions: 723, anger value +35,753.”
“Ding dong, absorbed despair emotions: 853, anger value +77,528.”
This battle was also the one in the past three days where Chu Tian’s monster army suffered the heaviest losses and he himself sustained the worst injuries.
The combat prowess and organization of the lizardmen were clearly superior to goblins and ordinary orcs.
Fortunately…
He emerged victorious in the end!
Beyond this, there were no sufficiently large monster tribes left in the Monster Forest.
At this moment.
The faction he controlled was the largest force in the Monster Forest!
“Ding! Purchase [Dark Supreme] S-rank?”
“Yes!”
The next second, a surge of black mist enveloped Chu Tian’s entire body.
With a single thought, he transformed into dark mist, drifting with the wind, instantly moving over a dozen meters away.
Powerful!
Amazing!
This was the feeling of wielding true strength.
After obtaining [Dark Supreme], it also meant he would soon head to Academy City to find Su Nian.
At this moment, his emotions were conflicted.
On one hand, he hoped Su Nian truly accepted him and that she hadn’t just been toying with his feelings.
He could never forget the girl from Flash Town whose eyes had been filled with nothing but him.
But on the other hand, part of him almost wished Su Nian had indeed been playing with his emotions.
That way, he would have every reason and motivation to, after demonizing, properly discipline this woman.
