Chapter 138 "Whale Song" New Album
"Predict the future?!" Lu Qing raised his voice, "You have a superpower elf at home that can predict a person's future?"
"Why can't it be me who suddenly acquires super powers?"
After a long period of silence.
"......So after you learned superpowers, you also learned to predict the future and detected my destiny?" Lu Qing asked quietly.
"Emm... I'm not so shameless as to use my superpowers to spy on other people's privacy." Shi Qiu sighed.
In the world of super powers, unless someone comes to you proactively, it is extremely offensive and vulgar to use super powers subjectively and privately to predict other people's future.
"I just made a small prediction for myself to see if I could kill this Pidgeot alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qing saw Pokkiss in the game accurately hit him again with the air blade, triggering a certain chance of flinching.
Immediately afterwards, there were several more sharp air blades.
From the moment he was hit to the moment he died, the Pidgeot he controlled never even lost control.
[You have been killed by Pokkis. ]
Lu Qing slammed the table in anger.
Shi Qiu's voice came again at this moment.
"Then in my foresight, I saw you pounding the table and... the dark game screen in front of me."
Lu Qing: Heh:)
Why would anyone still use this kind of BT cheat when playing games?
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Lu Qing voted at lightning speed and threw away the mouse.
Shi Qiu easily won the next round and was the MVP. He was in a good mood and didn't keep anyone in suspense:
"I'll send you a bunch of audio and video later. Please help me find someone to integrate them like last time. If there's anything else that needs re-recording, feel free to contact us."
"Genesis is preparing to release a new album."
It took Lu Qing a long time to remember the famous music group "Genesis" from the corner.
"As I recall, you're going to join the team into the secret realm, aren't you?"
"Yes, so there will only be two to three days to make some detailed revisions and re-records. Remember to tell them."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Lu Qing sighed: "No need, we also have a share of your profits."
You are so busy, little brother. You have to go to school to select for the battle group, participate in the gorgeous competition, explore the secret realm, and finally release a new album.
A semester is about to pass so quickly.
Let's put the battle group's matter aside for now, Lu Qing thought.
Apart from the selection in October, Shi Qiu was rarely seen in Kyoto University afterwards, not to mention the various activities within the battle group.
The president and teacher of the battle group have approached him and Rongyue several times.
But he and Rongyue thought about it and decided that unless it was necessary, they were reluctant to add more burden to their junior.
The two of them took turns to practice Tai Chi in the front.

On November 11, with the promotion of Shi Qiu’s personal account and the official blog of Genesis, the team’s second chapter, “Song of the Whale”, was released.
There are a total of four songs. Except for Soraya who was singled out as the lead singer, the other elves sang in the combination of "Island Paradise" and "Genesis".
The release of "Whale Song" was accompanied by four music videos.
The first song, "Whale Call", is a very straightforward song, with beauty and admiration, curiosity and excitement. It is a kind of immersion and happiness of seeing the beauty of the Garden of Eden after a long journey.
The MV shows the happy moment when the traveler and the elf first land on the island.
The second song is "Whale Rising". Compared with the first song, this song has many more wonderful and mysterious colors. The overall style is similar to "Wonderful Journey" but slightly different. It carries a sense of protecting a place, so it does not seem frivolous, but stable and dependent.
In the MV of this song, the island suddenly awakens as a god. God has no substance, and the spirits cannot see his true form. But his followers sing praises to the greatness of the god, and the god also protects these tiny yet vigorous lives.
The third song is "Whale Fall", which is the most grand and generous of the four songs.
The bubbles that rise and fall are chanting, hymns to life, and singing pious poems.
The echo of the waves, the clear cry of the gulls...
This is a symphony that is not limited to just various musical instruments.
A song of blessing, a song of prayer, a song of sighing.
In the music video, this is the passing of a god.
The setting sun is like blood, almost occupying the entire background. It is both sad and full of strange vitality.
Countless blurred sea elves closed their eyes and responded to the free and easy melody and unrestricted emotions.
This is a sea burial of the gods. The main theme is full of holiness but not gloom, blessings but not sadness.
......
Finally, the fourth song, “Rising Whale”.
This is the most bizarre and confusing song, even more nonsensical than "Whale Rising".
Chaotic, noisy, confusing, and dreamy.
It also gives people the most confusing emotions. There is the joy of knowing new partners, the warmth and protection of being together for a long time, the interweaving of hope and despair for the future, and the nostalgia and longing for everything that has been relieved...
Its main melody is varied, the tones vary, and the fighting between the strings does not sound unpleasant, but has a unique sense of rhythm that is very catchy.
In the MV, it is also the most fragmented.
To others, the first three songs can be clearly connected in sequence, but the plot of the fourth song seems to be a separate chapter.
Blurry scenes, blurry companions, overly beautiful light and glimmer. The whole picture is as beautiful as a dream, but it seems extremely unreal.
It simply exists.
Maybe the audience will like to listen to this song "Whale Rising", but compared with other songs, no one will list it as the favorite.
It doesn’t matter, this is the song he and the elves wrote for themselves.

The popularity of Genesis' second micro-album "Whale Song" was not comparable to that of "Genesis" at that time.
After just 18 hours on sale, it broke the group's single-day album sales record.
The album was released simultaneously on multiple music platforms around the world, and given Shi Qiu's strong popularity around the world due to his other identities, this achievement does not seem to be an exception.
Comments on Pangding Music, one of the largest music platforms:
"This is really the first time that I cried while listening to a song."
“There is no song with a sad theme, but every note is telling how pity it is.”
"I didn't understand the last song at all, but after listening to it, my face was already full of tears..."
“The melody of ‘Whale Song’ is free, and the emotions are undefined. It is what you hear.”
“Rather than saying this is an album, it’s more like a record of their stories…”

On the other hand, when the new album was released, Shi Qiu and the elves had already joined Shuimu's research team.
