Chapter 898: Chapter 564: The Concert and... The Approaching Storm (Part 3)
There was no explanation of what "taking advantage of chaos" meant, nor was there an explanation of timing or what to do.
But at that moment.
The heavy metal music blaring inside the bar suddenly stopped without any warning.
In the next instant, all the flickering screens simultaneously switched to the same image.
It was a performance by someone.
In the image, a girl wearing a red, white, and blue performance skirt, with long hair in a shade between cherry blossom and orange, stood at the center of a stage bathed in thousands of lights. With her voice full of energy and penetration, as bright as the midsummer sun, she sang a song filled with hope and dreams.
Debut name: Hanyu Momoka.
As a beastman, she had become a national idol of Fusang. Even among normal human Spirit Masters, she had countless fans, and her popularity among beastmen was beyond words.
At that moment, an incredible scene occurred.
The entire bar suddenly quieted down.
The brawling man with horns and the mantis knife specialist stopped their actions without coordination, and even the octopus bartender ceased his mixing, staring at the screen with his emotionless eyes.
Even the brokers engaged in dark dealings temporarily suspended their "business."
Almost everyone here, whether human or beastman, irrespective of the ferocity or numbness on their faces, their gaze became intensely focused at this moment. Soft, with a hint of fascination.
As if the girl shining like the sun on the screen was the only light in their filthy, nauseating mire-filled lives.
The performance clip lasted only a few dozen seconds, ending with the girl gazing at the screen and revealing a sweet and sincere smile.
[Momoka’s new round of Beiyang Road concert tour is coming soon, hope you all will support Momoka!]
—Turns out it was a concert advertisement.
In the next moment, the screens inside the bar switched back to violent and pornographic ads.
Yet, the atmosphere inside the bar noticeably improved.
The man with horns and the mantis knife specialist spat at each other, then returned to their seats without fighting again.
Beside the bar, two beastmen dressed in miner uniforms, who were arguing violently over a "business" deal just moments ago, seemed to have lost their anger.
"Damn, no matter how many times you watch it, it still feels... damn good."
"Yeah... only when listening to Momoka’s songs do I feel like I’m actually still a damn person."
"Has anyone got tickets for the concert the day after tomorrow?"
"Are you kidding?"
Someone sighed in frustration: "Momoka always sets the ticket prices cheap so everyone can afford them, but there’s just too damn many people trying to get them..."
Someone shook their head: "Those big shots in the Central District are rushing to see it, where’s our chance?"
At that moment, an unremarkable man with dog ears stood up, displaying extreme pride: "Who says so! I managed to get them on the official site using skill! And got seats in the first 30 rows!"
The bar instantly erupted.
"Holy shit! What!"
"Damn it, you lucky dog, how did you get so lucky!"
The two listened to their conversation and watched their nearly fanatic atmosphere, saying nothing.
Fujimoto finished the udon soup with tempura flakes, while Manfred downed his strong drink in one gulp.
