Chapter 193: Questioning

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Questioning

Everyone in the live stream’s barrage had noticed the issue too.

"Wu’s workspace is a bit too tidy, isn’t it?"

"A workspace this clean... If it were his former trending singer days, I honestly wouldn’t find it odd, but now he’s a singer-songwriter pushing out hit after hit..."

"Yeah, many of his songs feel like they’ve been meticulously revised and pondered over, how could he not use his workspace, and doesn’t he write and practice songs normally? Doesn’t he come over to record when inspiration strikes?"

The barrage was full of doubts.

Although no one explicitly mentioned the topic, obviously, everyone couldn’t help but think in that direction.

Because it was indeed a bit too strange.

A normal singer wouldn’t have such a workspace, it totally defies logic.

And the key point was, looking at Wu, he didn’t seem to have a particular reason, which was even more suspicious.

Could they have stumbled onto something scandalous?

Rationally, everyone didn’t believe Wu Mu’s songs were bought as the rumors long ago suggested.

After all, with so many hits, who would he buy from, and who would sell them?

And previously for the singer-songwriter duo, many songs had specific themes, where could he possibly buy those on short notice? Who could write them?

Songs like "Heavenly Queen" and "Under the Sea" were clearly sung by himself, could a ghostwriter have tailored them for him?

Yet, there was indeed a problem with the current workspace on display.

Barrages in the live stream turned chaotic, and some anti-fans took the chance to stir up trouble, quickly dispelling the previously relaxed atmosphere.

But speaking of which, their suspicions weren’t misplaced.

A typical singer’s workspace would definitely be full of stuff.

But was Wu Mu a typical singer?

He was a person who relied on the system to plagiarize, what did he need a workspace for?

He’d be confident to create his own original game after researching the games of this world.

But asking him to write original songs... where would he get that kind of artistic germ? So instead of troubling himself with trying to be original, he might as well lie clean and wait for the system to add points.

However, before coming in, he had anticipated it might stir some controversy, and if he still chose to have the crew visit here, it naturally meant he wasn’t afraid at all.

After all, no matter how severe the doubts were, just "improvising" a suitable song on the spot would solve the problem immediately.

Although plagiarizing Earth’s creations was indeed a bit ethically flawed... well, being able to awaken the system might also be considered a power of his, in the end it was all Atong’s fault for not being powerful enough to create unbeatable songs for him.

But even wanting to "improvise," he couldn’t do it right now.

Let the bullets fly a while.

He was just thinking about how to make today’s show entertaining, and wow, entertainment seemed to have delivered itself to his doorstep.

Wu Mu intentionally said, "I guess I haven’t used my workspace much, have only used it about two or three times since I moved in a few months ago."

Pan Mingxuan stared blankly at Wu Mu, "But Teacher Wu Mu, the songs you’ve released during this period seem to be more than just two or three, right?"

"More than two or three?" Wu Mu appeared puzzled.

"Oh, I remember now, there were a few times I wrote several songs at once, so I didn’t use it much."

Huh?

Wait, it’s one thing not to gather materials in your workspace, but you write songs in one go?

And several at a time!?

Pan Mingxuan looked at Wu Mu with a strange expression.

And Wu Mu, seemingly completely oblivious, no longer addressed the topic and continued with the crew to the next room.

Hmm, intentionally leaving such a contentious topic out there, he should expect quite a few people to question it, right?

His anti-fans, his own fans, even random people who just don’t like him, would they miss this chance?

Trapping the anti-fans to kill them off, boosting his popularity and points.

Wu Mu muttered to himself.

...

Zhou Yu’s agent watched the show, lost in thought.

He naturally paid attention to Wu Mu’s program today.

Ever since that incident with Li Hu, their relationship with Wu Mu had completely turned sour.

Although Wu Mu didn’t say anything, judging by how Wu Mu always acted, he would definitely remember them.

And both sides were rivals anyway.

They definitely had to seize any opportunity.

Zhou Yu first called the director of the singer division, "Brother Liu, is there any possibility that Wu Mu’s songs are purchased?"

Brother Liu on the other end of the line seemed stunned, then said speechlessly, "How could they be bought? He has so many songs, where would he buy them from?"

Outsiders may not know, but shouldn’t they, being insiders, know?

Buying so many good songs at once would definitely leave a trail.

A song isn’t created out of thin air; it goes through many processes. Buying one song might be possible, but so many songs... Rather than suspecting this, it might be more realistic to suspect something else.

Zhou Yu’s agent nodded; he hadn’t really thought that Wu Mu’s songs were bought.

But...

"Can we frame Wu Mu’s songs as being bought?"

The director of the singer division exclaimed, "Well... that might be doable. Get some people to deliberately slander him, claiming they sold songs to him, then hire some internet trolls to spam. Even if it doesn’t cause any real harm, it should still tarnish his image somewhat."

Hiring internet trolls to slander someone is a common tactic within the industry.

With enough paid trolls, even white can be turned into black.

With enough people spamming, even if those who are truly paying attention know it’s fake, there are many others who don’t follow these matters closely, and they might retain some semblance of a negative impression.

Zhou Yu’s agent quickly went to contact people. The faster, the better—blackening him while his live broadcast was at peak popularity would have a better effect.

...

While Zhou Yu’s agent was plotting to cause trouble for Wu Mu, Wu Mu was continuing to livestream his "daily" life.

After showing the program crew around his house, he brought them to his study and seriously said, "I saw online that everyone was curious about what I do when I’m not on programs. Actually, when I’m not on programs, I’m working hard, like playing games, thinking about how to improve myself, and so on."

Really?

Pan Mingxuan was somewhat skeptical.

After all, having just seen all the gaming consoles and storybooks lying around his house, including that barely-used workspace.

But playing games... Wu Mu’s game development skills were so high, he must really be practicing hard in private.

Watching Wu Mu sit in front of the computer, looking like he was about to start working hard, Pan Mingxuan quickly moved the program crew’s camera closer.

Then...

Pan Mingxuan: "....You were just creating a new folder, right?"

Wu Mu laughed, "I took a break recently, haven’t done much work."

You haven’t done much work, more like you haven’t done any at all!

Pan Mingxuan was speechless.

The gamers who were originally focusing on the workspace were even more infuriated by the live comments.
