Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Anonymous Comfort

Jiang Qin was not someone without self-awareness, so even with the help of a system, she wouldn't pretend to be too proud to use it.

On the contrary, she was happy—happy that she had finally been favored once.

However, she was a little confused about her reputation points.

Because she actually had 138,466 points!

According to the system's algorithm, there were about eighty or so customers in the bar tonight, plus over twenty staff members.

Each person should only generate 1 point of reputation, so she should only have a little over a hundred points at most.

Why was this number so outrageous?

She couldn't figure it out.

But since she had benefitted, Jiang Qin could only put aside her doubts. After all, the system was imperfect, so maybe it had a bug.

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

After drinking some water and browsing the system's marketplace for a while, a staff member came to call her.

Aside from Jiang Qin, there were no other females in the bar; all the staff were males, so she had a private room.

In the room, the boss had prepared some supplies for her, and there was even a small space with a bed where she could rest.

To be honest, Jiang Qin was quite satisfied with this job.

She only needed to sing two songs a day, earned a million a month, with free food and lodging, plus many other benefits.

After responding to the staff, she sat back at the piano, waiting to go on stage.

Meanwhile, the front desk of the bar was in chaos.

"Can you hurry up with the payments? The calming session is about to start, right?"

The male in charge of collecting the entry fees was exhausted, his hands sore as he kept processing the star coins and entering customer information.

"Stop rushing me! I'm already going as fast as I can!"

Since around 8:30, customers had started flooding into the bar one after another. Now, there were almost a thousand people in the bar, and hundreds more were still waiting in line.

Without a doubt, most of these people had come because they watched An Zeyu's live broadcast.

His live broadcast had made it onto the local trending page, and many people from the same city had tuned in, just in time to see Jiang Qin sing.

So, a lot of people had come to debunk the rumors, but some were also simply drawn in by how well Jiang Qin sang.

You Wei was grinning from ear to ear, proudly asking his friend, "See? I told you, I, You Wei, never make a losing deal."

"This Miss Jiang really is something."

Although a C-level calming session should have been ineffective for them, Zhu Yongkang had just tested it and found that his riot value had dropped by 0.01%.

It was a small amount, but enough to be surprising.

He sighed regretfully, "If her level was a bit higher, even males from the main planets would probably want to pursue her."

"It's fine like this. If she were an A or S-level female, she wouldn't even be working in our bar. We wouldn't even have a chance to look at her."

That's true. If Jiang Qin were a higher-level female, not only would she not be working in the bar, but they wouldn't even be able to gaze at her from a distance.

As the lights dimmed, all the males in the bar fell silent at once.

The security males surrounded the stage, fearing that any male might irrationally try to approach the female.

Jiang Qin was still wearing that simple white dress.

The light reflected off her slender fingers, almost making them glow.

"The next song I'll be performing is: 'Anonymous Comfort.'"

Jiang Qin played the piano seriously, the beautiful notes drifting through the bar. Everyone's heart calmed down.

[I no longer shed tears,

Trying hard to experience the world's imperfections.

This journey has both victories and setbacks,

Realizing the absurdity of reality...]

Her soft, ethereal voice seemed to have a magical power that cleansed the listener's heart.

The faint pain in the head eased due to the tranquility of the emotions.

At this moment, to all the males tortured by genetic pain, Jiang Qin truly felt like an angel.

She was so gentle, so calm, that no one could harbor any ill intentions toward her.

But Lu, at this moment, had his eyes closed, listening carefully to the song.

He was a mercenary, spending most of his time fighting in the wild. His riot value was as high as 75%, and he was only a few years away from full frenzy.

So, his body was in constant pain.

He hadn't felt relief in a long time.

He hadn't expected that he, who often came to the Moonlight Bar because it was cheap, would find such a great surprise here.

The only regret was that the song was too short…

[Sometimes, I'm very tired, but I hear, don't give up,

Who is standing at a distance, protecting me?

Silent, but invaluable,

This loneliness is perfect...]

Anonymous Comfort was also one of Jiang Qin's favorite songs.

Every time she finished a long day of work, listening to music quietly was the most relaxing part of her day.

Listening to these heartwarming songs always made her feel that the dark chapters of life would eventually come to an end.

She too would see her dawn.

[I tell myself after sadness, there's another chance,

Thank you for the beauty of loneliness...]

After the performance, Jiang Qin was once again sent backstage by the stage mechanism.

To avoid any accidents, the boss had told her not to get too close to the customers.

After all, the bar was filled with single males, and if any of them acted irrationally, it could lead to harm.

So, the bar ensured she was protected, keeping her a safe distance from the customers to avoid any contact.

Once the female performer had left, the restrained males finally dared to speak.

Their glasses clinked as they took large sips of the alcohol-flavored inhibitors, their spirits higher than ever.

"I feel like today's calming session will at least be enough to help me go into the wild."

Some males had already noticed a decrease in their riot values, but none of them spoke up.

Even though the Moonlight Bar was cheaper by 100 star coins than other bars, they still couldn't afford to come every day.

They knew that if this got out, they'd never be able to get another calming session. For their own sake, they naturally chose to remain silent.

Even An Zeyu was the same.

He quietly measured his riot value again behind the camera, and this time it had dropped by 1%.

This meant he had spent just a small amount of star coins, and his riot value had decreased by 3% in one night!

He didn't need to beg any females or have one as a partner. As long as Jiang Qin continued working at the Moonlight Bar, he could go his whole life without a mate and never have a problem.

This temptation was too great for him. Even if Jiang Qin only worked for a few years, he would still benefit greatly.

So, after thinking it over, he chose to clarify in the live stream.

"Actually, there was a misunderstanding earlier. I suddenly realized that my brain device seems to have malfunctioned, and the riot value measuring app was inaccurate.

Sorry for the confusion, I apologize to everyone."

[I knew it. There's no way singing could calm someone down.]

[Exactly, there are so many singers in the galaxy, and even beastmen with mermaid genes. Their songs are just nice to listen to, but they don't actually have any effect.]

[Avoiding this bar. To attract customers, they actually had the young female use this kind of tactic to grab attention.]
