BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82: Idol
The vast majority of the audience who really liked the game and wanted to play it a few times were men, but even though the female audience made up a smaller percentage of the players, the first player to reach 51 points and get the first Master Rank was a woman!
When people finished testing their own rank, looked at the list of friends next to them, and saw that some of their friends had higher ranks than they did, the desire to keep playing and pass their friends meant that the time spent using this app was very high.
Of course, since this game was messing with people\'s psyche, I limited the use of the app to only 5 tests per day as a safety measure for people.
Each test took a maximum of 5 minutes, so the total time spent using the app per day averaged only 50 minutes, taking into account the rest time between each test, or the time players spent looking at their friends\' rankings and chatting on the app, which was not a short time for an app that literally scares people.
When Lucy saw that I had started Zane\'s app before hers, she called me a little sadly.
"Hey Adrian, is the app you launched today from your partnership with Zane?" She asked me in a slightly dejected voice.
"Yeah, he came up with the idea for the app and I just tweaked it and made the app tonight." I explained.
Hearing that, her shoulders slumped and she asked me. "What about my app? You think my App won\'t do well on the Internet and you\'ve given up on releasing it?"Realizing where this was coming from, I explained. "Don\'t worry, your app is already finished, wait a minute... ok, you can see it on the Internet now, I just haven\'t launched it yet because of the lack of content."
Hearing this, Lucy was astonished and looked at her holographic screen, just like mine, and was shocked by [Mystic Melody].
"This is the app that\'s going to use my divinity?" She asked excitedly, looking at the app.
Unlike Zane, which had a green and scary theme, [Mystic Melody] had a blue theme with musical notes decorating the entire app, making for a very artistic and elegant design.
"Yes, this is the app I promised you, an app where mortals can listen to music whenever they want." I explained.
Hearing this, Lucy became excited before becoming worried again. "Will they want to listen to music in a time of war like this?" I smiled.
I smiled. "This is when they need music the most to relax, so don\'t worry."
With my assurance, Lucy believed it completely and nodded.
"When are you going to launch my app?" she asked.
"I think tomorrow morning, right now I\'m in Aetheris, but in the afternoon I\'ll go back to Arcantor and record the songs for the app." I explained and got a nod from her.
"Thanks Adrian, I\'m looking forward to having my app available on the internet and the adoration of mortals hehe." She laughed before saying goodbye and hanging up.
Seeing that it was already dawn in Arcantor, I decided to fly back there while looking at my status screen.

In the past 24 hours, my Divine Power had increased to 10 million points, which gave me more confidence to face the demons that had invaded my territory, but not enough confidence to enter their territory and kill them all.
But I\'m sure I\'ll be able to do that in the next few days.
The strategy I decided on with Lucy and Zane after a long meeting was that we would wait for the army of the Four Kingdoms to arrive in Aetheris in two days, and Zane and I would invade Galvaris while Lucy stayed behind to protect the Five Kingdoms.
Two more days would give me at least another 8 million Divine Power Points, or more if I could increase the time the faithful spent on the Internet, an amount that would give me more confidence to crush the demons.
While they were fighting for thousands, or at most hundreds of thousands of Demon Power Points, I was already in the tens of millions.
Or so I hoped...

The process of recording Luna and her family was simple, but a bit tiring.
"Come on guys, this is the third mistake in the same part, let\'s concentrate so we don\'t waste Lord Athenos\' time!" Luna shouted in an imposing voice, completely different from the submissive image I had of her whenever I saw her.
As soon as she said this, people looked at me with embarrassment and prepared to record again in our "studio".
We set up a makeshift studio where they would gather to play the instruments and sing the songs while I sat in the studio controlling the Wave Divinity to record the songs and put them on the Internet.
Since there were mistakes and we had to re-record almost every song several times, the recording time was 10 to 20 minutes per song, but the result was very good.
Their musical quality was very high, so the songs turned out very well.
Although I had to ask them to simplify the lyrics of some songs so that everyone could understand them without having an open dictionary next to them, overall the process was very productive.
"Would you like some wine, Lord Athenos?" A waitress offered me, a little anxiously.
Looking at the bottle of wine in her hand, I imagined that this must be a very expensive wine.
Considering that Luna\'s family had noble roots, since only nobles could devote themselves to magic and art, this was no surprise.
"Sure." I nodded and took the glass of wine she poured for me.
Although I couldn\'t get drunk, it was interesting to taste the local wine.
When the song was finished, I noticed the exhaustion on people\'s faces and thought a break was necessary.
"Luna, let\'s take a 30 minute break while we prepare another part of the song. I said to get everyone\'s attention.
When the musicians heard about the 30-minute break, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Luna stared at me in confusion, reverting to her submissive personality.
"What other part, Lord Athenos?" She asked.
"The image and promotion... while we can use the name of your family\'s orchestra to promote classical music, the more informal music can use a different strategy." I suggested.
Hearing this, Luna became interested. "What strategy?"
"Have you ever thought about becoming an idol, Luna?" I asked after taking a sip of my wine.
"Idol? What\'s an idol?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.
"An idol is an artist who sings, dances and warms people\'s hearts with her music. Ever since I saw your appearance and personality, I felt that you would fit the role very well," I explained. "How so? You\'ll be the first artist hired by the God of the Internet, the artist responsible for warming people\'s hearts and helping them in their time of need through your art."
Hearing this, not only Luna\'s eyes lit up, but the other artists in the room were shocked as they looked at Luna with amazement and envy.
"Yes, yes! I\'d love Lord Athenos!" She said excitedly as she surprisingly jumped up and hugged me!
I didn\'t even have time to react before she realized what she had done and quickly jumped back in fright. "I\'m sorry, I\'m really sorry Lord Athenos, I don\'t know what I was thinking."
Laughing, I just shook my head and replied. "Don\'t worry, I don\'t mind hugs."
I didn\'t notice the excited look on her face as I turned and started to leave the \'studio\'. "Come on Luna, let\'s get your photo shoot ready for the release of your first album."
Luna quickly started jumping towards me, even though she had no idea what a photo shoot or album was.
Since I intended to make Luna an idol, I would do it the right way, by making Luna a comforting and welcoming image that would warm the hearts of all believers in the Internet God.
Who wouldn\'t like to have the image of a beautiful blue-haired girl, accompanied by a beautiful voice and pleasant music, waking you up and welcoming you to the Internet every day?
With Luna\'s fame among my believers, I could even organize concerts for her, helping even more to entertain and make people happy, just as I learned from Machiavelli\'s Prince about the importance of bread and circuses for the people of that time.
