"That's true."

Zhao Liangchen thought it made sense, but it still felt a bit odd.

He really felt that the person across from him was Xu Lin.

"Master, I'm shooting a short video on campus tomorrow, sort of an mv. I'll post this song on TikTok then."

"No problem."

"Master, do you think I can become popular?"

"Becoming popular depends on fate. There's no problem with my work, the key depends on you, just do your best."

"Alright, I'll do my best."

Then, it was Xie Ting's turn again.

Recently, Xie Ting had been practicing the two songs by Xu Lin. He said he planned to upload his cover of the two songs to QQ Music tomorrow.

Xu Lin: "No problem, wish you luck!"

Xie Ting is a talent monster, and Xu Lin was very optimistic about him.

Xie Ting: "Master, I'll have to ask you for a custom song later."

Xu Lin: "At least not until late December, I don't want to write songs for now."

This week, Xu Lin had been working for four nights in a row, staying up very late, and he didn't want to research anymore.

Xie Ting: "Alright!"

The entire afternoon that followed, Xu Lin was on voice call with ten of them, answering questions and giving practical instruction.

It was quite complicated.

Xu Lin never thought that one day he would become a teacher.

Dusk quickly fell, and in the blink of an eye, it was Saturday night.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, a notification popped up in front of Xu Lin.

[Your song "Clouds Beyond Snow" has surpassed three hundred million plays across all platforms (NetEase Cloud, TikTok, etc.), over ten million collections, and over one million comments, becoming a viral pop hit.]

[Your song "Spring in the Snow" has surpassed three hundred million plays across all platforms (NetEase Cloud, TikTok, etc.), over ten million collections, and over one million comments, becoming a viral pop hit.]

[Task: Divine Song Producer.]

[Progress: "Clouds Beyond Snow" (viral), "Spring in the Snow" (viral).]

"It's a hit?"

Xu Lin was taken aback; there had been no movement before, and now suddenly there was a big one.

Xu Lin took a look and found that there were three indicators: plays, collections, and comments.

"So, these three indicators, when they reach a certain number, meet the conditions for a viral hit, right?"

"Three hundred million plays, ten million collections, one million comments, that's the threshold for a viral hit?"

Xu Lin felt an epiphany.

With the system's notification, Xu Lin was originally planning to play some games to relax, but now he didn't even want to play games.

"In that case, I'll give it another two songs and see!"

"Break through the music industry first!"

Feeling a bit fired up, Xu Lin decided to go all out.

Moreover, he had to show off a bit more, just in case anyone doubted his skills, better to shut them up first.

Not to mention, quite a few people online were critiquing him now.

Xu Lin didn't respond to it at all, didn't even want to take a look; it was Xia Xiyao who told him.

But just because Xu Lin didn't respond, doesn't mean he wouldn't retaliate a bit.

This time, Xu Lin planned to write two songs, also love songs.

He started with the arrangement; the two songs together took more than three hours, then the lyrics took another four hours. Finally, producing them into songs took another two hours. Additionally, Xu Lin also had TikTok video versions, where he sat there, playing guitar and singing. Two videos in total, which took about an hour.

All together, it was eleven hours.

Xu Lin's work now didn't drag at all; unknowingly, his procrastination had improved.

Moreover, Xu Lin spent another ten minutes or so thinking about the names for the two songs.

The first one, "Ancient Mossy Wood."

The second one, "Azure Clouds and Autumn Water."

Inspired by Zhang Kejiu of the Yuan Dynasty's "Tianjingsha"—Ancient mossy wood rustles, azure clouds stretch across autumn waters.

Both love songs are in a sorrowful style, with a bit of a literary flair in the lyrics, but not in a classical style.

However, the song titles and content have little relationship.

Furthermore, the lyrics are not clingy to the point of being pathetic.

The first song talks about the male and female protagonists missing each other due to some misunderstandings, with the theme of resentment and separation.

The second song talks about the male and female protagonists being in love but unable to be together due to real-life issues, with the theme of longing and letting go.

These are the most regretful and sorrowful songs Xu Lin has written, even sadder than the first song he ever wrote.

Finally, Xu Lin posted the two short music videos on TikTok, while the finished songs were uploaded to NetEase Cloud.

Additionally, Xu Lin supplemented a post on Xiaohongshu.

Post: "Ancient Mossy Wood" and "Azure Clouds and Autumn Water," two new healing songs released, welcome to listen.

By then, it was already Sunday morning at six.

Xu Lin had been staying up all week, and with the two songs done, he finally felt a sense of relief.

"Sleep!"

This nap, Xu Lin slept until four in the afternoon.

When he got up, Xu Lin's stomach was already growling.

He got up and made some instant noodles.

While having his meal, he casually opened his phone and saw a message from Xia Xiyao.

"Xu Lin, you're number one on the trending searches."

"Let me see."

Xu Lin hadn't paid much attention to these things before, but his previous two songs becoming viral hits meant that he had achieved two of the ten viral pop hits required, with eight remaining, so Xu Lin also started keeping an eye on popularity.

He opened Weibo and found that the top trending search was him.

"Mr. Xu's new song"

The fourth trending search: "Ancient Mossy Wood" and "Azure Clouds and Autumn Water."

Xia Xiyao: "The TikTok side is also very popular!"

Xu Lin: "Ok."

Xu Lin glanced at it, feeling pretty good, seeing that TikTok had also entered the top ten trending searches.

"Xu Lin, your Xiaohongshu followers have also surpassed ten million today."

"Ten million, huh?"

"Yes, take a look."

A few days ago, Xu Lin's TikTok followers had already surpassed ten million.
