"It seems you weren't lying. Anyone who can use such a rudimentary instrument to detect a damaged component must be extremely familiar with electronic principles."
"I can take you to the manufacturing department now. If you can make a finished 'Fierce Dog,' I'll give you ten men."
"no problem."
Shuo Rong was about to take me away, but Shuo Dai said:
"Wait a moment!"
Shuo Rong and I turned around.
Shuo Rong asked, "Princess! Is there anything else?"
Shuo Dai stared at me: "When I saw you testing the piano just now, your fingers played very smoothly. You can play the piano?"
Oh no! I've exposed it again! I already said I grew up in a mountain valley, maybe they don't have this thing there?
"I've played the cheap kind, the kind you find in schools."
What comes to mind is the old-fashioned organ, which looks similar to a piano, but is operated by foot-operated air pumps; it doesn't make a sound when the air is out.
Of course, they may not be available here, but I'm talking about cheap ones, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
"Play a piece for me to hear."
"yes!"
That's all we can do. They probably haven't heard any music from outside before, have they?
I picked "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" and played it.
I think this piece is just right; if it were too difficult, they would wonder how I could play it so well.
It's too simple, and the melody isn't pleasant enough.
My goal is simple: as long as I can attract Shuo Dai, I won't be mistreated in the General's Mansion anymore.
A tactic of using a handsome man?
Oh well! It's a virtual world anyway, so even if it happens, I'll just treat it as a youthful, impetuous dream.
To my surprise, after the song, both Shuo Dai and Shuo Rong were stunned; they were both completely mesmerized.
Shuo Dai put the cat down and ran to me, grabbing my hand and asking:
"Zheng Yang! Where did you learn this tune?"
Is it really necessary to get so worked up?
"This was created by one of our teachers."
What I'm saying is correct; it's just that outside composers are respectfully addressed as "teacher."
As for what they think, that's none of my business.
"It's so beautiful! So poignant and unforgettable. Could you write down the sheet music for me?"
"no problem!"
"Shuorong! Get the computer!"
Shuo Rong handed me the computer with a screen, and I quickly wrote down the piece.
"Princess! May I go to the manufacturing department?"
That's the place I long for.
Who knows what kind of information we might find?
To be honest, among the materials I have on the Shiyan people, there are also sections on materials, but they are too profound.
For example, R27 metal is synthesized by electrolysis of A9 metal with the addition of carbon and nickel.
I don't even know what A9 is, how am I supposed to synthesize it?
There are countless similar cases.
I want to know where these basic metals come from.
What? There might be data in the backend?
No, the backend is all code. I can get the raw materials by entering the code, but I have to learn from them how the raw materials are made.
"Wait a minute! Teach me this tune first."
Huh? This isn't what I want, but I can't refuse.
"Yes, Princess!"
Shuo Rong: "You should say, 'Yes! Princess!'"
"Shuorong! He's not from the military and doesn't understand our rules. Let him adapt gradually."
To be honest, this princess is very kind to people.
"bring it on!"
I taught the princess twice, and she was able to play it, and she became more and more proficient with each repetition.
"Zheng Yang! Why can't I play that poignant and beautiful feeling?"
"You probably don't know the lyrics!"
"There are lyrics too? Tell me quickly!"
"I'll sing it anyway!" Lyrics sound weird when read aloud, okay?
"Alright! You sing!"
I placed my hands on the piano, playing and singing: "In this mortal world, there are always those who are deeply in love; do not laugh at their madness..."
After the song ended, Shuo Dai burst into tears: "It's so touching. What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it? What kind of love must one have experienced to have such an understanding?"
If it weren't for the fact that we can't bring things in from outside, I wouldn't mind buying her a few DVDs to watch TV series.
Of course, this is just a thought; if she were to ask me where the things came from, I wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
As I was thinking, Shuo Dai suddenly rested her head on my shoulder.
I immediately tensed up, not because the beautiful woman was leaning on me, but because I was afraid that Shuo Rong, that wicked woman, would throw another tantrum.
Being so close to the princess, wouldn't that be a capital offense?
However, Shuo Rong only frowned and didn't say anything.
"Do you know why I had someone call you back at the station?"
The word "male concubine" came to mind again, but I dared not say that she was lusting after my body.
"have no idea."
"Because your temperament is exactly the same as my older brother's."
The son of Shuo Rui who died?
"You know what? My brother also loves music, and this piano is his."
But his father insisted that he learn martial arts so that he could inherit the Shuo family's title, and in the end... sigh!
I never expected to see you at the station today. It immediately reminded me of him; when I was little, my brother was the kindest to me.
What kind of temperament do I have? The kind of temperament that artsy young people have?
I have no idea.
"Princess! The dead are gone, don't be too sad."
Shuo Dai sat up straight and wiped away her tears: "Where is your teacher? I want to invite him here."
Holy crap! I've never seen this before.
"When the war broke out, everyone in our village was scattered, and I don't know where he is."
"Oh! That's such a pity. Do you still have any of his songs?"
Sad love songs? There are tons of them. Back in school, all I heard from my classmates were those self-deprecating tunes about love and relationships.
