Chapter 72 - 72 72 Inverting the Heavenly Gang

?Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Inverting the Heavenly Gang Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Inverting the Heavenly Gang Wu Mu planned to verify his guess.

Meanwhile, when Wu Mu announced his album sales, Lu Yao and Lin Qingyue were already stunned.

“How many? Six million in sales?”

Lu Yao was dumbfounded. She couldn’t help but lean in close to Wu Mu’s phone, trying to see the sales figures on his screen clearly.

She had been live streaming a little way away from Wu Mu earlier, so no one in Wu Mu’s live stream room knew she was nearby.

But when she leaned in, she immediately gave herself away.

Wu Mu’s anti-fans were very sensitive to the topic of his women, and immediately someone in the barrage of messages started desperately asking who that was.

But at the moment, what everyone cared more about was:
“???”

“Wu’s album sold six million!?”

“Ah, what’s going on? I haven’t paid attention to him for half a year and everything’s changed? Wasn’t his previous highest album sales also only around twenty million, and wasn’t the album called ‘Planet of Love’?”

“I know about the ‘Farewell’ album; it surged once when the scandal broke. But even then, it had only sold a little over three million, right? Just one month later, it’s gone up by another three million?”

Very few people pay attention to exactly how many sales an album has, and since it had only appeared twice on trending topics, many people had no idea at all that Wu Mu’s album sales had already reached six million.

Not to mention them, even those in the circle like Lu Yao and Lin Qingyue had clearly not been paying attention.

After Lu Yao saw the numbers on Wu Mu’s screen, she suddenly felt as if her brain had atrophied.

Really six million?

That’s terrifyingly spicy!

It’s hard for even kings and queens of the industry to hit those numbers!

This was definitely enough to rank in the top five of the digital album sales chart.

What the hell? Before Wu Mu’s scandal, his highest album sales were between one million to two million. Now, because of a scandal, the sales quietly became six million?

Lu Yao looked at Wu Mu as if she was looking at a deity.

Wu Mu felt their gazes and laughed, “What’s the matter, I can’t have these sales? The songs on this album are good.”

Really?

Out of curiosity, Lu Yao couldn’t help but pull out her phone, search, and purchase Wu Mu’s album.

She had to see how good the songs in the album could be to enable a scandal-ridden idol to sell an exaggerated six million copies.

In Wu Mu’s live stream room, and even in Lu Yao’s live stream room, the audience who heard the commotion were all doing the same thing.

The sales of Wu Mu’s album directly added over a thousand copies.

After listening… Lu Yao looked at Wu Mu with skepticism.

Just this?

This quality of music sold six million copies? Are you scamming my money here?

It’s not that it’s not pleasing to listen to; if you listen carefully, there really is something to it, but it’s surely not enough to sell six million.

Lu Yao couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, did Teacher Wu Mu manipulate album sales?

Wu Mu understood what she was thinking and said righteously, “Who manipulated anything? You just don’t appreciate it.”

You’re the one who doesn’t appreciate it!

Lu Yao certainly didn’t think it was her taste that was the problem; no matter how you looked at it, the songs in the album were just so-so!

But it seemed Teacher Wu Mu indeed had no need to manipulate album sales, especially since he was already scandalized.

And looking at the purchase accounts under the album this month, the most anyone bought was three copies, which genuinely didn’t look manipulated.

With manipulations, usually a single account will buy tens of thousands of copies.

At most three copies here, surely they couldn’t have used millions of accounts to manipulate sales.

But even if not manipulated…

Lu Yao asked with a weird expression, “Teacher Wu Mu, isn’t the target of adding fifty thousand to your sales to sing a song set a bit too high?”

Fifty thousand sales is sixty thousand real dollars… Is Teacher Wu Mu a bit too inflated, thinking that just with a total album sale of six million, you can just promote it a bit and increase sales by fifty thousand?

In the live stream room, after listening to his song, the audience was cursing out of frustration, thinking he had lost his mind, entertaining delusions here.

They were also hating themselves for not resisting spending money on this idiot, saying the song wasn’t worth a dime, advising others not to buy it out of curiosity.

But the more they cursed, the faster the number of people in Wu Mu’s live stream room grew.

It had started with only seventy to eighty thousand, but after Wu Mu revealed the sales figures for his album, it shot up to over two hundred thousand in a short while.

And it was still climbing at an incredibly fast pace.

Was this because the news that he was live streaming had spread, attracting everyone, or was it Douyin’s automatic data recommendation, or could it be that the system was secretly pushing it?

Wu Mu speculated in his heart.

He casually answered the questions from the audience and then repeated the purpose of his live broadcast for the new viewers every so often.

Each time, new viewers were tricked into buying the album to have a listen.

But in just under twenty minutes, his album sales had already added over ten thousand, and the number of viewers in his room had reached over six hundred thousand.

However, it seemed there was still a significant gap from his set target.

Until…

“Is it the singer of ‘Farewell’? I really love this song, and I often listen to it to fall asleep when I can’t at night. Can you sing it live?”

Someone posted in the message stream.

Wu Mu responded that he would sing after hitting an increase of fifty thousand in sales.

That person immediately tipped him a Carnival reward and sent a message, “I’ll support you with a hundred copies.”

And following this person’s comment, different voices began to appear in the message stream.

“I thought I was the only one who liked this song. Seeing everyone cursing it so much, I even started doubting if my taste was too niche. But it’s a great song, I’m supporting with ten copies.”

“Yeah, such a good song, so many people don’t know about it? I’m a student with not much money; I’ll support with five!”

“Heh, I don’t care who the singer is or what they’re like, but those saying the song is bad really need to shut up. If you don’t like it, there are plenty who do, I’m buying a hundred copies!”

“Truly baffling, the songs in this album are highly praised in my social circle, and all the comments under the song are compliments. How come it’s only criticized here, and considered niche? Can a niche song sell six million copies? Is it possible that you guys are the niche ones?”

Ah?

Both the audience in the live stream room and Lu Yao were dumbfounded.

The niche ones were them, their taste was lacking!?

Have you lost your senses!

With this quality, how can you shamelessly praise it like this!

The audience in the live room was almost dying of frustration, feeling the blame was put on the innocent.

But…

Lu Yao watched on her phone, with every refresh the sales rose by thousands, every few minutes seeing an increase of twenty to thirty thousand, and felt somewhat silent.

Could it be that their taste was really lacking, and they were the niche ones?

Wu Mu watched this scene and broke into laughter.

He could confirm now that it was definitely the system backing him, obviously pushing his live room to those who liked his songs and had purchased before.

Normally, these people wouldn’t buy again, but now his favorite song was being called unpleasant, and labeled niche and self-indulgent. How could they bear it?

But in just about ten minutes or so, Wu Mu’s target of fifty thousand album sales had been reached.

It was time for him to sing.
