"Who are these?"
"Don't worry about it. Some top artists on small planets are not worth mentioning."
Topa waved her hand. Just as she said, those people were indeed artists from small planets, not even considered top-tier artists in the entire universe.
But they are quite well-suited to be connoisseurs.
Because their level is roughly in the upper-middle range of the entire universe, these people make up the vast majority of the universe.
So as long as they feel very good about it, then it's basically a sure thing.
The very top group represents those whose work is too sophisticated for the masses; it has artistic merit, but it's somewhat out of touch with mainstream trends.
Even the lowest level won't do, because it's too rustic and not suitable for refined tastes.
These arrangements were all based on Topa's own business considerations.
"Greetings, Lord Dragon Lord."
The artists all showed Bai Zhi respect, even some fawning expressions.
For their director Topa, it was barely possible to have a conversation with them as equals, but for these ordinary people from a small planet to be able to take on this job was simply a stroke of good luck.
If this Dragon Lord, who now wants to dabble in art, takes a liking to me, he might just poach me and offer me a high-paying job.
"Hello everyone, I hope my daughter Funina's performance will surprise you all."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly and said with a smile.
"Oh, you're joking. As a member of the Immortal Ship, your appreciation of art is certainly top-notch."
The artists all stepped forward to offer their compliments.
However, what they said was not wrong. With so many immortal beings on the Immortal Ship, the average level of art and appreciation was indeed quite high over the long years, which can be seen from the style of the buildings and the various utensils used.
"Alright, now's not the time for idle chatter, Miss Bai Zhi. Shall we go down to the planet first... We shouldn't be showcasing it from the starport, right?"
"Of course not. Although Star Harbor is very beautiful, it is obviously not suitable for singing."
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Baizhi to lead the way."
Afterwards, Bai Zhi led Topa and his group to the corporate headquarters on the planet again via a shuttle ship.
"It seems that there are quite a few people who admire Miss Baizhi."
Walking through the headquarters, Topa looked around and saw many familiar faces he had met when he came to inspect the planet.
Many of them are quite capable and have great potential. If they stayed with the company, they might even get promoted a few levels online.
The fact that most of them had ended up on the planet under Bai Zhi's name was quite surprising to her.
"If Toppa is willing to switch jobs, I can offer you a very high-ranking position~"
Bai Zhi said half-jokingly that if Topa really wanted to jump, she really wouldn't mind giving Topa a position in charge of most of the roles.
"Ahem, you're joking..."
Toppa smiled without saying anything. Bai Zhi's potential is quite high, which is why those employees are willing to stay.
But this upper limit is still too low for her, a company director at the P45 level.
"It's alright, Toppa is always welcome to come if he wants to in the future~"
Bai Zhi said nonchalantly that it was normal not to be able to invite Toppa now. She only had two things that could generate economic benefits: the pills and this planet.
These two things are still too inexperienced compared to the vast and all-encompassing Interstellar Peace Corporation.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Baizhi. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely visit one of your companies. That should be the prepared venue up ahead, I think. I vaguely remember it."
Topa smoothly responded, changing the subject.
"That's right, the venue is just ahead. It's a temporary setup, so it might be a bit basic."
"It's alright. We didn't come here to check out the venue. This kind of thing can be taken care of in time. I'm just looking forward to hearing Miss Funina sing as soon as possible."
Topa turned her gaze to Funina, now genuinely curious about Funina's skill level.
After all, Bai Zhi is a Dragon Lord, so the things she usually receives should be of a high standard. If Bai Zhi is so confident, then this Fu Ningna must have some skills.
"Oh, little sister Baizhi is back so soon."
Accompanied by that distinctive voice, a green figure appeared in the venue.
"Hello, I'm Wendy, a friend of little Angelica, and also a bard."
"travelling poet?"
Toppa was taken aback when he saw Wendy suddenly appear in front of him in the wind.
"Yes, Wendy is a bard, which sounds like an old-fashioned profession, doesn't it?"
Toppa nodded subconsciously. On a cosmic scale, that concept was indeed a bit too outdated.
"Although his profession is very old, he plays the piano and sings very well."
At this point, Bai Zhi looked at Wendy and asked, "Wendy, would you like to try playing a tune later?"
"I'll have someone send you some of the Immortal Boat's finest wine then," Bai Zhi added.
"Is this true?"
Wendy's eyes lit up when she heard that Bai Zhi was going to give her some good wine from her immortal boat.
Those fine wines were truly irresistible to him, but unfortunately, the employees below only listened to Bai Zhi and not him, and were unwilling to bring out those wines casually.
Chapter 478 Furina, who was being looked at by the Association
"of course it's true."
Bai Zhi said with a smile that those wines might be a bit expensive for ordinary people, but for her, they were a normal expense that she could easily afford.
"That's a deal!"
Wendy immediately agreed.
Toppa glanced at Wendy with a hint of curiosity.
At first glance, she thought he was just an ordinary person.
But now, upon closer inspection, she noticed something amiss. The other person appeared to be a young man, but his eyes and certain expressions seemed to carry a certain quality that only immortal beings possess.
She could often faintly sense this scent when dealing with Xianzhou.
This outfit doesn't look like that of a Celestial Ship person, and he calls himself a bard. Could he be some kind of immortal being from some backward planet?
Such examples do exist. As far as she knows, some people from the Immortal Ships do this, going to certain backward planets where their naturally powerful bodies are enough to make them gods.
Although the specifics are unknown, simply living a long life is enough to prove that he must have some skill.
"Fou, are you ready?"
Bai Zhi walked up to Funina and asked.
"Of course, a qualified singer must be ready to perform at any time; this is a basic quality!"
Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up: "Then the stage is yours from now on!"
"Hmm, watch my performance~"
Fu Ningna raised her head slightly, then walked onto the stage, took the microphone, and the surrounding environment began to change gradually.
The venue was like a place where night had fallen, with lights shining like moonlight.
As night deepened, the stage lights gradually came on, illuminating the center.
As Funinna was slowly illuminated, her long dress swayed gently in the breeze.
Then, Funina parted her lips slightly, and her clear and melodious voice pierced through the simulated night sky, echoing in the hearts of every listener.
"That voice... putting everything else aside, it's definitely someone with a lot of experience!!"
One of the judges nodded slightly. An expert can tell a lot just by looking at a song. As soon as Fu Ningna's voice came on, they had a preliminary conclusion.
At least this Funina is definitely not a newcomer.
You could even say they are extremely experienced.
Funina was unaware of the judges' reactions, because as the sound of a harp, seemingly from nowhere, began to play, she started her performance.
The singing was like a clear mountain spring, flowing by with a refreshing breeze.
The judges below were suddenly jolted, as if they had been transported to a dreamlike world, with endless fields, clear lakes, and birds flying freely.
Her clear, spring-like voice echoed continuously, and Fu Ningna's singing was like telling one moving story after another, captivating the audience and making them unable to extricate themselves, as if they were witnessing a water kingdom unfold within it.
At the same time, the ever-present wind adds a sense of freedom to the gentleness of the water.
As the last note faded from the final song, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
With a graceful bow, Funina said, "Thank you all for joining me tonight. May this wonderful experience remain in everyone's heart."
"Perfect!! Absolutely perfect!!"
"I really wish I could hear it again."
"That singing voice, and the technique involved, are just as good as that of the robin!"
After the song ended, the judges were still savoring the experience for a while before they came back to their senses.
Then, they quickly shared their thoughts all at once.
"Although I'm not a professional, I could tell from that. That's a really good ear!"
Topa nodded slightly. She didn't know any professional knowledge, but her hearing was fine.
Although this Miss Funina's voice doesn't have the resonance effect inherent in the robin's voice because it's blessed by the syndicate.
But that's precisely why it's so precious.
After all, it's already intoxicating even without the support of the same association's power. If one were to embark on the path of destiny later, wouldn't that be even more like adding wings to a tiger?
However, thinking about this, Topa became a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, with Miss Funina's skills, she should have been able to embark on a certain destiny.
How come it looks like this now...
"Hey, I think I just saw something looking at me?"
Standing on the stage, Funina seemed a little flustered.
Because right after she finished singing a song, she felt that a great being was looking down on her.
After that fleeting glance, she discovered a strange power within her body, as if it could bring her into harmony.
"what……"
Toppa was momentarily stunned. He had just been wondering why no one had come to pick up this promising talent, and then suddenly they did.
Moreover, it wasn't just an ordinary stepping onto a destiny path; it was being glanced at by a star god.
Bai Zhi floated lightly to Fu Ningna's side and patted Fu Fu on the back.
"Don't worry, it's just a glimpse from the Star God... Fufu, you should be able to feel that power within your body now, right?"
"Hmm, I can feel it. It's amazing. It seems to be much stronger than elemental power."
"You can think of this power as an enhanced version of elemental power, and as for that glance, you can think of it as giving you a divine eye."
Bai Zhi's example was very easy to understand, and Fu Fu immediately understood what was going on.
"What an incredible experience..."
Funina didn't know what to say, because normally it should be the Seven Gods who give the Eye of God to others.
Although she never actually held that power.
But the fact that someone had suddenly given her this "eye of God" of the world was indeed quite unbelievable to her.
"Do you remember which deity is looking at you?"
“Hmm…” Funina lowered her head and thought for a moment, “It seems to be a goddess with many heads, who is probably female.”
"It's Hipe, the Star God of Harmony."
Funina's answer did not surprise Bai Zhi, because there are actually not many Star Gods who conform to Funu's creed.
