All-rounder Artist-Chapter 708 - 674: Unique Rank_1
This day is bound to be anything but quiet!
The uproar caused by the concert broadcast, coupled with Xian Yu’s public declaration to challenge for twelve consecutive wins, swept across insiders and outsiders alike like a hurricane. The higher-ups of Starlight were left dumbfounded one after another!
"Are you serious?"
Ol’ Zhou immediately sought out Lin Yuan: "I mean, about the twelve consecutive wins…"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Ol’ Zhou was somewhat speechless.
Did this kid really understand the situation?
It took Ol’ Zhou a while to speak up, "The company will definitely support your decision, but in fact, there isn’t much the company can do in such a situation. In the end, you have to fight your own battles, especially when someone from the Zhong Continent makes a move."
"Zhong Continent?"
Lin Yuan was taken aback: "Isn’t Zhong Continent not yet included in the merger?"
The kid really didn’t get the real picture.
Ol’ Zhou sighed: "Aren’t you wondering why Zhong Continent, which hasn’t been included in the merger, can participate in the season rankings among Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han continents?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Old Zhou didn’t rush to explain but instead turned on the office projector first.

The map of Blue Star appeared on the projector screen.
Ol’ Zhou pointed at the map and said: "There are eight continents in Blue Star. Apart from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, there is also a Zhong Continent."
Lin Yuan said: "I know that."
Ol’ Zhou looked complicated: "It’s hard to tell which continent among the Qian, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao is stronger. It can only be said that each continent has its own dominant fields, such as Qin Continent’s music, Chu Continent’s animation, Qi Continent’s film, and so on…"
"I know that."
"No, you don’t. Under the premise of these statements, do you just assume that our Qin Continent has the strongest music, Qi Continent the best films, and as for Chu Continent…"
"Is it not?"
"Yes, and no."
"..."
Seeing Lin Yuan’s confusion, Ol’ Zhou chuckled, "These sayings are actually built on the premise that Zhong Continent is excluded from the equation, because Zhong Continent is a league of its own in every sense!"
Lin Yuan was surprised: "Zhong Continent’s music is more powerful than Qin’s?"
Ol’ Zhou raised his voice: "Zhong Continent’s music is more powerful than Qin’s, Zhong Continent’s films are also stronger than those from Qi continent. In other words, Zhong Continent dominates in every art field in Blue Star!"
Lin Yuan nodded vaguely: "So, everyone doesn’t want to compete with Zhong Continent?"
Ol’ Zhou couldn’t help but laugh: "Your way of describing it is quite fresh. Indeed, everybody doesn’t like to compete with Zhong Continent. That’s why most Blue Star rankings don’t include Zhong Continent.
But this is not only because Zhong Continent overpowers the other seven continents in overall strength, but also because the residents of Zhong Continent are mostly migrants from the seven other continents. How do you think Zhong Continent became so strong? It’s all due to the talent supplied by the seven continents over the years!"
Lin Yuan blinked.
He roughly understood the situation of Zhong Continent now.

Ol’ Zhou looked at the map of Zhong Continent: "The highest government of Blue Star is located in Zhong Continent, where Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei are divided and ruled. The higher-ups have to worry that one day the seven continents will slip out of control. Hence, they promulgated the Zhong Continent Talent Introduction Act.
The top talents from each field of each continent would be requested to move to Zhong Continent. These top talents are transformed into Zhong Continent people after switching continents. With the resources from the seven continents contributed over the years, Zhong Continent has evolved into the strongest continent in Blue Star.
Of course, we have to concede that even without the consistent supply of top talents from the seven continents over the years, Zhong Continent, as the power center of Blue Star, naturally possesses a dominance that is unmatched by other continents. This is the additional advantage of being the power center of Blue Star."
Lin Yuan thoroughly understood Ol’ Zhou’s point.
Zhong Continent was originally the strongest region in Blue Star.
And with the resource tilt from the highest government over the years, along with the grand seven-continents talent introduction plan, Zhong Continent underwent a transformation and qualitative change in power!
No wonder everyone didn’t include Zhong Continent...
Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei are all on one level.
And Zhong Continent is in a league of its own.
Old Zhou shrugged: "However, since the merger of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao and Wei started, the talent introduction plan paused. After all, compared to talent introduction, it seems more convenient to manage everybody when they’re all together. But the power of Zhong Continent has already been established…"
At root, it’s still a political factor.
Lin Yuan summarized: "So, some people from Zhong Continent can participate in the competition for the season rankings because some of them originally come from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao…"
"Dual Citizenship!"
Ol’ Zhou laughed: "It’s very difficult to change your continent citizenship, and it’s even more difficult to gain dual citizenship. This is also one of the perks that Zhong Continent initially offered to win the hearts of the talents. So in Zhong Continent, only half of the residents are native Middle State people.
The remaining half consists of high-end talents from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao and their descendants. It’s a mix of people, and these talents, if they have dual citizenship and their first place of origin is one of the five continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, or Han, can participate in the competition for the season ranks and aim for your twelve consecutive wins. Do you understand now?"
"I see…"
Lin Yuan paused: "But why would they want to target me?"
Ol’ Zhou: "…"
Does this kind of thing need to be asked?
Okay then.
This kind of question is indeed Xian Yu-style.
He could only continue: "Some people, because they have not managed to achieve something themselves, do not want others to achieve it either, for instance, twelve consecutive wins."
Lin Yuan furrowed his brows.
This reason seemed a little far-fetched to Lin Yuan.
But upon careful thinking, it seems very persuasive.
"If you want to challenge for the twelve consecutive wins, it is essential to study your competitors in advance. The company is helping you to filter out the potential competitors. These people must simultaneously meet the conditions of having dual citizenship and being born in one of the five continents: Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, or Han.
Fortunately, there shouldn’t be a significant number of people who meet these conditions. Moreover, most of the maestros from Qin Continent who have gone out won’t make a move, after all, you are a Qin person…"
Old Zhou grinned.
Regional rivalry exists everywhere.
Even in Zhong Continent.
The talents introduced from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han continents by the policy of the Zhong Continent all tend to stick together.
In this situation, the Qin people from Zhong Continent, no matter how many ideas they have, will restrain their impulse to make a move.
After all...
Xian Yu is a Qin person.
A genius emerged from Qin’s people.
Even if they’ve lived in Zhong Continent for a long time and practically become Zhong Continent people, the top talents from Qin Continent wouldn’t forget their roots in Qin.
The Blue Star people have deep hometown sentiments.
After explaining a few more things about Zhong Continent to Lin Yuan, Ol’ Zhou left.
Half an hour later.
Ol’ Zhou sent Lin Yuan a list: "These are the maestros from Zhong Continent who might make a move against you…"
Lin Yuan didn’t respond and casually threw the list into an idle folder.
The only competitor that Lin Yuan has ever seriously studied was Yang Zhongming.
After all, Yang Zhongming is Lin Yuan’s half mentor.
He respects him deeply.
As for the attack from Zhong Continent, it’s not a question of respect or disrespect.
Most of the time—
Lin Yuan isn’t in the habit of studying his opponents.
