Chinese Culture Wave Is the Most Badass

After dealing with the Akita dog issue, the livestream finally became much quieter.

"Thanks, Yuuka." Only then did Zhao Yu thank Yuuka.

"It's nothing. I just didn't want Lord Yu to be bullied," Yuuka said.

"Don't worry, those guys can't bully me." Zhao Yu reassured Yuuka before speaking to the Bullet Screen again.

"I've always treated everyone like brothers. You've seen Yuuka's attitude now. I'm not afraid of those Akitas, but Yuuka is just an ordinary student. I don't want her to get dragged into some manufactured controversy."

Was Lord Yu speaking up for me? Yuuka quietly listened to Zhao Yu's words.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed that Lord Yu had also told them to get lost because they had questioned her identity, right?

At that thought, Yuuka's lips curled upward, and the disgust she felt toward the Akitas eased considerably.

[That's true. We were just here to have fun. Since Yuuka's stance isn't a problem, there's no need to keep bringing this up.]

[Judging from the streamer's attitude just now, he definitely won't tolerate those Akitas. Let's not let Yuuka see those embarrassing idiots anymore.]

The Bullet Screen began to agree with Zhao Yu as well.

In fact, Akitas were looked down upon even in Japan. After all, how credible could someone be if they did not even love their own country?

The viewers could feel Yuuka's sincerity, and that was enough. After all, they only watched streams for fun.

After seeing the Bullet Screen's response, Zhao Yu made several longtime fans moderators and finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Actually, those guys are just used to being dogs. They've even forgotten that China was Japan's suzerain state," Zhao Yu said again.

"Mm! I remember that a lot of things in Japan were passed down from China!" Yuuka softly agreed.

"Things like the tea ceremony, kimono, and even the world-famous Japanese sword all carry traces of China."

Literature and history were inseparable. As an outstanding student in the literature department, Yuuka was extremely familiar with Japan's past history.

"Oh, right! The Shakuhachi and Chinese herbal medicine too! Let me tell you..." Once the subject turned to something she was good at, Yuuka seemed to flip a switch and could not stop talking.

Zhao Yu listened seriously to Yuuka's explanation, even feeling that she understood this history and culture better than some Chinese people did.

Zhao Yu could not help but sigh inwardly. Those who shamelessly worshiped Japan were called Akitas, so did someone like Yuuka count as a China enthusiast?

"So, China's civilization influenced all of East Asia. It's an excellent country, and everyone should have more confidence in China!" Yuuka concluded.

[Uh... I suddenly feel like I studied history for nothing.]

[So after classes during the day, we're taking another class at night? Yuuka suddenly feels just like our history professor.]

[But Yuuka is pretty cute when she explains things seriously.]

[If I had a teacher like that, I wouldn't be hauling bricks for a living.]

Although they had been forced to listen to a history lesson for over ten minutes, no one seemed opposed to it. Instead, they all acknowledged Yuuka's professionalism.

After all, there were not many Japanese people who understood history as well as she did and respected it.

"By the way, Yuuka, are you recording the screen today too?" Zhao Yu finally asked after Yuuka finished her explanation.

"Yeah. What is it, Lord Yu?" Yuuka asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing. Since you're recording, I happen to have a song I want to sing. I hope you can record it too and upload it to YouTube," Zhao Yu said.

Thinking about how those Akitas knew less about China than Yuuka, a Japanese girl, Zhao Yu felt it was necessary to give them a proper wake-up call.

"Huh?! Lord Yu has another song to sing?" Yuuka immediately perked up and asked eagerly.

"Yeah, I just thought of it. In professional terms, I guess it counts as freestyle?" Zhao Yu said.

"Then I'm even more excited. Lord Yu, hurry and start!"

[Oh-ho! More new stuff? And it's improvised?]

[Bring it on already.]

[Is the streamer some kind of genius? He came up with a new song in such a short time?]

[Being a gaming streamer really is wasting his talent.]

The Bullet Screen was just as eager to see Zhao Yu perform and began discussing it animatedly.

"Before I sing, I want to say this: no matter how the Akitas deny it, China's historical foundation is right there. The Chinese culture wave is the most badass," Zhao Yu said seriously.

[I think so too! Chinese culture has always guided the surrounding countries!]

[The Chinese culture wave is the most badass!]

"Then I'll begin. As for accompaniment, I'll get some professional software later, so today I'll still sing a cappella... Ahem..."

Zhao Yu cleared his throat, silently counted the beat, and began to sing.

"If Hua Tuo were alive, worshipping foreign things would be cured; foreigners learning Chinese characters stirred my national consciousness..."

A rap with a distinctive cadence flowed from Zhao Yu's mouth, and both the livestream viewers and Yuuka widened their eyes.

As everyone knew, rap had always been a special art form associated with a certain race, and even much domestic rap imitated them.

But Zhao Yu's song gave everyone a completely different feeling. Unlike rap mixed with English, it had a pure, unique flavor that did not imitate any other country at all.

[He called out the Akitas right at the start. So satisfying!]

[He insulted them and then wrote a song about it. This is what it means to kill the body and destroy the heart!]

[This is insane. This flow arrangement is better than that of some underground Chinese rappers!]

[Chinese herbal medicine can be put into a song too? That's unbelievable!]

Amid the Bullet Screen's shock, Zhao Yu's singing continued.

"Watch me grab a handful of Chinese herbal medicine, swallow a dose of pride..."

But after singing that, the sound abruptly stopped.

[???? Why did he stop? Keep the music going, keep dancing!]

[Stopping at the best part, huh? The streamer knows how to play.]

[For fuck's sake, keep going! I'm begging you!]

"Sorry, everyone..." Zhao Yu's apologetic voice came through.

"That's about as far as I can freestyle for now. The rest needs some proper adjustments. I'm not a god, after all. I can't write a complete song that quickly in one go."

That was a lie. How could Zhao Yu not know how to sing this song? He had listened to it ever since he was little.

But singing the whole thing in one breath would inevitably be too shocking. If someone suspected he had hired a ghostwriter, he would have to prove himself. Zhao Yu was not stupid.

Having come to a parallel world, no matter how unrestrained he was, he still had to stay within the bounds of what a normal person could do.

Coming up with half a song in such a short time had already nearly crushed most current singers. There was no need to be any more outrageous.

"S-So amazing!" Yuuka, on the other side of the screen, seemed to have stars in her eyes.

Although she could not understand it, the lyrics had real-time translations. A song that incorporated her country's Chinese herbal medicine culture so perfectly could no longer be called a mere unfinished product.

"It's alright. Isn't this something anyone with hands can do?" Zhao Yu could not help laughing.

"The song will tentatively be called Compendium of Materia Medica. I hope it can wake up those people who worship foreign things."

[??? I suspect you're taking a jab at us!]

[If you can do it with hands, then what are our hands? Prosthetics?]

Meanwhile, Li Qingwan was still savoring Zhao Yu's improvised performance when an extremely bold idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
