Just when everyone was waiting to see if any new songs would be released today, the studio fell completely silent. This was part of the strategy they had set earlier: use the album release as a gimmick to stir up excitement. Once people were drawn in, they released two songs in advance to maintain the buzz and spark controversy. With a half-hour gap between the two tracks, it created a sense of urgency, as if they were eager to release everything at once. But after the two tracks were out, they suddenly stopped any follow-up actions, making no further moves. They let the whole internet freely discuss, guess, and wait, unafraid of stirring controversy—in fact, the bigger the controversy, the better. In Chu Tian's words from his past life, "Let the bullets fly for a while."
The studio might have been quiet, but those who had been waiting online were anything but calm.
"That's it? It's been an hour. Are the rest of the songs coming or not?"
