FWTS Chapter 158 Another Double Shot (Part 2)

"This!"

After his composition attribute value reached 20, Hou Muyun had a very peculiar feeling. It felt like everything he looked at was a musical note. If he calmed down and looked closely, he could even see various notes flickering—no, they seemed to be gently bouncing, ready to jump up and form a melody at any moment.

Yes, at any moment!

As Hou Muyun calmed his mind and thought for a moment, these notes really did jump up. Then, like lining up, some cut in line, some were kicked out, and eventually, they formed a melody!

Hou Muyun knew this wasn't an illusion. No, to be precise, these were illusions, but they were imagined out of thin air by himself. In other words, after his composition attribute value reached 20, Hou Muyun's composing ability had a qualitative leap, slowly shifting from "skill" and "art" to "Tao." Skill close to Tao became somewhat... To put it mystically, everything has a melody!

Many people understand this principle, but what's different about Hou Muyun is that he can—see it!

To put it plainly, Hou Muyun has now reached a state where he can get inspiration at any moment!

This is an absolutely coveted state for any composer or musician. This state might appear a few times during the creative process of every top-notch musician, but for Hou Muyun, it's anytime and anywhere.

As for art, especially the highest form of art, there's always a saying that it's created with God holding your hand!

Hou Muyun could now be said to be in a state where God can spare a moment to hold his hand anytime. Oh, and all the celestial Buddhas and deities too!

As for how quickly they come—Hou Muyun thought, if the value could still increase after breaking through 20, then surely the higher the value, the faster God would come.

"It feels like I'm on a lucky streak today, having three successes in a row, and now another attribute value has reached 20. Uh, except for getting scolded by Chu Qing... Why am I thinking about her! Let's have another go!"

Hou Muyun drew again, watching as the pointer stopped in the SR region. Delighted, he really was having a lucky day!

[Charisma Card Pack X1]

Although he had opened them before, Hou Muyun was still excited. After all, it was an SR card pack!

Open.

[Voice Charisma Attribute Card X5]

[Smile Charisma Attribute Card X5]

[Eye Charisma Attribute Card X5]

Just like before, three types of cards, five of each.

Hou Muyun used them directly.

The smile charisma attribute value and eye charisma value both increased from 9 to 14.

The voice charisma attribute value increased from 16 to 21.

Also reached 20!

"Another 20! And it reached 21, which means the attribute value isn't capped at 20!"

Hou Muyun murmured to himself. This time, he could even feel his voice had clearly changed. He faintly felt he could control his voice!

Previously, when his voice charisma attribute value reached 10, Hou Muyun had a vague sense of controlling his voice, especially when singing. He could easily infuse emotion into his voice and, to some extent, express various frequencies and modes of the voice.

As he interacted more with other musicians, he also noticed that many excellent singers could do this—control their voice and emotions.

But now, it's not control; it's mastery.

Control is reaching for that point with effort, while mastery is having it completely at your command.

To put it plainly, mastery is fully exploiting control to the extreme.

Furthermore, the expression of emotion and other aspects through the voice has also reached a very high level.

Additionally, even Hou Muyun himself could hear a special flavor in his voice after trying to read a few poems and sing a few lines. It seemed like there was a bewitching power in it that could mesmerize people. To put it mystically, it's—magic!

It feels like it could influence others' emotions and even rationality to some extent!

That's a bit scary!

"Xiao Pang."

Just then, Xiao Pang came in to deliver water. After Xiao Pang put the water down, Hou Muyun said, "Take off your clothes."

"Oh."

Xiao Pang was stunned for a moment. He started to pull the zipper of his jacket all the way down but then suddenly stopped and looked at Hou Muyun speechlessly. "Are you out of your mind?"

Hou Muyun burst into laughter. After Xiao Pang left, he fell into contemplation again. It seemed that his voice indeed had some magical power now, although not exaggeratedly so. Sometimes, when an ordinary person suddenly hears a very pleasant voice, they might be momentarily stunned. Hou Muyun's voice now had a certain effect even on people familiar with him.

Overall, it was still within the range of charisma, just significantly enhanced.

Additionally, the charisma values of his smile and gaze had increased considerably, although Hou Muyun himself didn't feel it much. If he were to smile at someone while saying something nice, the effect on attracting... uh, charming people would definitely be off the charts!

Next, Hou Muyun stayed in the studio until three in the morning. Before leaving, he completed composing six songs and even started writing the lyrics!

The speed was absolutely astonishing.

Moreover, if you listened to the melodies of those six songs, you would be utterly blown away!

Each one was better than the songs he had previously composed!

It's not that no one can write six songs in one night, but for someone like Hou Muyun to create six potential hits in one night is incredibly rare in human history!

The next morning, after finishing his tasks, Hou Muyun did a livestream at noon and then waited for Consultant Chi—who also served as the legal advisor for Music Monkey. Together with Xiao Pang, they went to Sunny Sky Film Company to use their conference room to sign a contract.

At two o'clock, the head of the American SS Group in China arrived. The representative from the American law firm that Chu Qing had found for Hou Muyun was also already there. The three parties sat down and quickly signed the publishing contract and agreements for "Chronicles of Future Wars."

It didn't take long.

Additionally, both sides' tax matters were entrusted to the law firm. Although the fees were high, it was worth it as it saved a lot of time. For Hou Muyun, it meant he would almost only need to collect the money in the future.

At four in the afternoon, Hou Muyun, together with Chen Yixin from Qiyue Manga Department, met with the representative from "Weekly Shonen J." Hou Muyun had his legal advisor with him, and Qiyue had its legal department and translators.

The terms had already been mostly agreed upon, leaving only some minor details.

Everything went smoothly.

In terms of remuneration, both the novel and manga deals were quite favorable.

The manga in Japan received the top-tier serialization price, and the SS Group offered top-tier royalties for a newcomer.

Moreover, there was room for increase. Especially regarding royalties, if the first volume sold well, the second volume's royalties would definitely increase.

Two authorizations in one day.

A sci-fi novel authorized for the largest market in America, and a manga authorized for the largest market in Japan.

Such news couldn't possibly be kept secret, and no one would want to.

The SS Group's Chinese website announced the signing of the English version of "Chronicles of Future Wars." Following that, Qiyue's official website and Weibo also announced that the manga version of "Nine Heavens" had been authorized for serialization in "Weekly Shonen J."
