"Indeed, I have recorded an album when I was in Gesalsi. It was supposed to be a surprise and I guess it is still one.
So here is the thing: I will issue a mission and if you complete the mission in the stipulated time, I will let you listen to the next song.
The album has five songs, with each song having two versions like a shining star. You already heard the first song which means that only four remain. On this day, I shall let you listen to two more songs. As for the rest, better wait until another time.
So, to listen to these two songs, you just need to complete the mission as fast as you can."
While she was chatting with the fans, the organizers started calling for all the runners.
Diamond, seeing that, rose to her feet, picked up a bottle of water and took a sip. She picked an energy bar and started munching it as she and the other staff headed towards the spot they wanted.
As she walked while munching on that energy bar, she didn’t forget the fans and viewers who were watching her.
"The first mission will start now. You all know that I am the ambassador of the Hope of Diamond charity foundation. As my fans, you need to Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive!
The foundation’s social media platform accounts don’t have a lot of followers. So here is my mission." With a sly smile on her face, Diamond dropped a ridiculous number and added, "Once those figures have been reached. I will automatically release the song and let you listen to it.
I won’t be releasing it online for downloads or plays today. However, you can listen to it while I run, just like the day of the training."
Diamond told the fans what she wanted them to do, but the overall idea of the matter was to let them do something for her and once that was achieved, she would play one of her songs.
She didn’t know what the fans were saying since she couldn’t see the hologram screen due to her circumstances. However, she believed and trusted her fans a lot.
Anyway, it was they who wanted to listen to her songs as well. It was a give-and-take situation.
What she didn’t know was that once she was done stating the mission, the number of viewers dropped drastically and a surge of viewers appeared on the foundation’s accounts.
Those in charge of the accounts watched dumbfoundedly as the number of followers and subscriptions increased exponentially. They couldn’t help but look at their boss, who was making such miracles happen with a wry smile.
How could she be so capable?
Anyway, seeing the changes, they were very happy. By the end of the day, who knows how many followers and subscriptions they would be having?
Tiana, on the other side, couldn’t help but watch enviously as the foundation was benefiting greatly. However, having many followers didn’t equate to having more earnings or donations. They were potential stock. These people, at some point in the future, might help the organization. They might not help now, but who knows about the future?
Thankfully, her own side was busy sharing Diamond’s outfit, which sparked other people’s curiosity as well.
Meanwhile, on the marathon’s side, the first group started running, followed by the second group and lastly, Diamond’s group followed.
Diamond didn’t care about those running in front of her, but decided to maintain her pace.
While maintaining her pace, she didn’t forget to let Andrea play songs for the viewers while they completed their missions.
Watching Diamond running through her broadcast was a group of athletes who had come all the way to see this in person.
Watching through the screen, they watched as she steadily ran without panting while singing along to the song playing in the broadcast.
At the same time, on the screen, the progress of the missions would be shown, making the group of people feel astounded by the technology that Diamond possessed.
Along the way, Diamond threw playful winks towards the fans who were cheering for her. When she reached the first water point, which most runners ignored, she reduced her speed and stopped by. The reason she stopped by was the fans standing behind the committee.
They were holding bottles of water and chocolates in hand. Seeing them, how could she just stop?
So, the viewers watched Diamond being the first person to stop running in a marathon to drink water, snatch an energy bar and take several selfies with fans before she resumed.
The athletes, seeing that, cursed her greatly for being unserious. However, when they saw how she was easily passing the other runners, they shut their mouths.
Thankfully, the comment sections were harmonious, especially with the song Shining Star being online. The other fans who accessed the platforms already downloaded the song after paying a small price.
And with the progression percentage increasing, they were quite enthusiastic as well.
Diamond, twenty minutes into the marathon, found herself smiling wryly as she listened to Andrea.
{Mother, the mission is complete! Your fans are now clamoring for their rewards.}
Diamond was speechless when she heard that she couldn’t help but say to the fans. "You guys! Just how energetic are you to finish so quickly?" helplessness on her face.
When the fans heard that, they all started sending teasing emoticons as well as comments.
Andrea faithfully reported the comments to Diamond and, when she heard them, she massaged her throbbing temples before giving in.
"Fine! You win! So here is the thing, for Shining Star, it was a dedication to all of you. But without certain people, you guys wouldn’t be here just like how I couldn’t be here as well.
This is why the two songs on this album are a homage to our beloved parents. So, you choose in three minutes which one you want to hear first. A homage to your mothers or fathers? Whichever wins, you will listen to it. Once the song has been picked, I will announce the next mission!"
After saying that, Andrea hurriedly created a poll and in the next three minutes, fierce voting ensued.
At the end of the voting, the winner was decided.
