All-rounder Artist-Chapter 910 - 851: Xian Yu’s Maestro Ranking

After dinner, everyone went back to their respective homes.

Lying stagnant in his bedroom for a while, Lin Yuan suddenly recalled something:

It had been some time since Senior Yao Huo had become the King of Singing, and wasn't he supposed to receive a Gold Treasure Chest from the System?

Why hadn't he received it yet?

Was the System trying to default on the deal?

Lin Yuan immediately summoned the System to inquire.

The System explained, "Because the Music Festival has not yet begun, the official honors have not been awarded."

"Oh."

So, that was the reason. It made sense.

Time was moving fast anyway.

December had already arrived.

The old year was about to pass, and the new year was about to begin.

The Music Festival should be officially awarding prizes at the beginning of next year, usually set in January.

At that time, not only would the awards for King and Queen of Singing be announced, but the awards related to Maestro Lin Yuan would also be presented.

He had already decided to make the trip.

After all, it was the Music Festival, and contending for the title of Maestro was an important moment in his life.

He didn't dwell on this matter any longer.

Lin Yuan sprawled on the bed and continued to browse on his phone.

Online, there was news about him everywhere lately; his unprecedented achievement of the Twelve Consecutive Championships across five continents was being widely discussed by countless netizens:

"Fish Papa really achieved twelve consecutive championships!"

"There were doubts a few days ago, but now that more than a week has passed in December without any mishaps, it's clear that this is set in stone."

"Truly monstrous!"

"I still remember when Xian Yu first announced his intention to aim for the twelve consecutive championships, many were skeptical, but he overcame all obstacles to achieve this honor. A rhythm unprecedented and unlikely to be followed; now with the merge into five continents, and the future moving towards six, seven, or even eight continents, especially after the Blue Star's big merge, who else could achieve twelve consecutive championships? It's only going to get harder from now on, unless a few of the top Maestros step in, but those few don't make moves often. How many Maestros could be as prolific as Xian Yu?"

"What do you think is Xian Yu's current ranking?"

"If we're talking about contemporary Maestro rankings, he should definitely be in the top fifty, right?"

"That's hard to say. The top Maestro rankings are mostly based on performances in the five major music halls, and Xian Yu is still too young; he has only performed in the great music halls once."

Maestro rankings?

Seeing this topic, Lin Yuan's mind stirred.

He wasn't concerned about his own ranking, but he was thinking about the concept of a Maestro.

The concept of a Maestro on Blue Star had been around for several hundred years. In these centuries, the Literature and Art Association officially had nearly eight hundred Maestros.

The majority of these Maestros had passed away.

As for the contemporaries, excluding Lin Yuan, there were 280 Maestros.

The number seemed manageable, yet not every Maestro was as active as some like Abigail. Some of these Maestros, although still alive, were already in old age and basically no longer composed music.

There were two reasons:

The first group had accomplished their goals and retired peacefully;

The second group was simply too old to keep up with the energy required.

Lin Yuan was not included in this count; although he had reached the Maestro standards, the official ceremony of awards had not happened yet, so he was not listed among the Maestros. Thus, he was not counted among these two hundred plus people.

Over two hundred Maestros!

A number that wasn't large but also wasn't small.

If the total number of Maestros were distributed across each continent, there would basically be thirty-five Maestros per continent, but of course, that was not the reality. It wasn't that evenly distributed.

Because in reality, the vast majority of Maestros were concentrated in Zhong Continent.

Zhong Continent boasts the highest number of top artistic talents across the entire Blue Star.

Following that, Qin Continent, renowned as the "Land of Music," has the highest number of Maestros.

The least number of Maestros is in Zhao Continent.

In such a vast area of Zhao Continent, there are only thirteen Maestros, the lowest in all of Blue Star.

"Extremely rare."

Lin Yuan calculated seriously, and his understanding gradually became clear.

He had carefully compared the differences between Blue Star and Earth.

Though Blue Star is similar to Earth, there are many differences that can't simply be generalized.

For instance, the population size, geographical position, and the extent of vastness are greater because there are not as many historical wars, so the total population of this world is significantly larger than that of Earth.

As for where Lin Yuan himself ranks among the Maestros?

Calculating that didn't matter to Lin Yuan—at least until he had released all the Bombs from the System's repertoire.

After realizing this,

Lin Yuan switched to Chu Kuang's account.

Under Xian Yu's account, there were nothing but congratulations from fans about winning twelve consecutive championships.

In Chu Kuang's comment section, however, the style was different, with quite a few people teasing Chu Kuang:

"The old rascal hasn't been very active lately."

"Old rascal, are you slacking off? Xian Yu is claiming the Maestro title, having conquered all five continents with twelve consecutive championships. What's up with you, not making a sound for months? Don'ttell me Chu has run out of creativity (dog head)."

"Xian Yu: I, Xian Yu, a fine man, and you Chu Kuang dare to be mentioned in the same breath as me (allow sorrow)."

"What happened to the 'south Xian Yu, north Chu Kuang'? That one has made it big now, and you, Chu Kuang, are still huddled in a corner not writing?"

"Xian Yu: Brother Chu Kuang, what's going on with you?"

"It seems that recently Yi An has come out of nowhere, stealing the old rascal's luck."

"That's not necessarily true. Yi An is called Chu Kuang Junior and has a long way to go before he can become the old rascal."

Love turned into mockery comes naturally.

Putting these words on Chu Kuang's fans couldn't be more fitting.

A group of readers harassing for updates in such a snarky tone.

But this also relates to Chu Kuang's recent silence, with no news of new releases—unlike the past when he used to publish one novel after another diligently.

In the end, it was all because Lin Yuan was busy aiming for twelve consecutive championships and had neglected Chu Kuang's account.

Elsewhere.

The comment section of Shadow's account.

The style there is very similar to Chu Kuang's side.

"Shadow, look, your good brother has become a Maestro now. Aren't you going to perform a three bros act together?"

"Pfft, you beasts, Shadow is busy managing five accounts now, what else can he show? He's definitely busier than the old rascal Chu Kuang... though I like it! It's about time he got busy, my donkey at home wouldn't even dare to rest like he used to!"

"Shadow: What's up? Want me to start ten more comics for you?"

"That's too much, guys, there's a limit to jokes...just start another five."

"Pfft, you really are something. Shadow is already juggling five, and if he keeps going, he'll be at ten!"

"Shadow: Do you really think I'm your family's donkey?"

"Hey! If my donkey had these skills, I wouldn't just go for ten, I'd make it elevent!"

"..."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh and cry.

So now Shadow has become a donkey?

And there indeed are eleven series behind Shadow!
