Chapter 153 The Essence of Pretending



"I don't quite understand it, but I seem to understand it a little bit," said Xu Xiangxiao.

"This is the essence of pretense," Chen Ya said. "Pretense is about using drastic measures to make others deeply understand you. You want to be admired by everyone, respected by everyone, powerful and influential throughout the country, and spread your virtue throughout the world... Do you understand?"

Xu Xiangxiao was completely confused.

...After saying that, everyone, like Xu Xiangxiao, didn't understand what it meant, but felt it was very powerful.

Yingzi sneered and said, "Pretending is just pretending, no matter how much you say, it's still pretending."

Jiang Xinhai glanced at her. She wanted to say, "You're quite pretentious too," but she didn't say it in the end.

On the touch screen, the text changed again, and finally a line of text appeared:

【Congratulations, you have unlocked the Xindian Snow area! 】

Xu Xiangxiao clicked and the screen changed again.

This time it is no longer monotonous text, but a colorful picture emerges.

On the screen, there is a beam of sunlight passing through a prism.

Under refraction, the sunlight turned into a rainbow.

Then, a line of handwritten English appeared below:

"pinkfloyd."

Xu Xiangxiao was stunned: "What does this mean?"

Jiang Xinhai stared at the picture and said, "Looks like a poster?"

Gao Xiaobai put away his fan and suddenly shouted, "Pink Floyd!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"This is the name of a band, Pink Floyd," Gao Xiaobai said, "and this is their band poster!"

He looked a little excited.

"This was once the most famous band in the UK, an outstanding progressive rock and psychedelic rock representative... In short, it was pretty awesome." Gao Xiaobai said with saliva spitting out.

After saying that, he came back to his senses: "Exactly, why is there a Pink Floyd poster here?"

Xu Xiangxiao turned around and said, "The songs here are all... composed by JX. Does that mean he has collaborated with this band?"

"How is that possible?" Gao Xiaobai immediately denied. "Do you know what era this band was from? They've been popular for half a century. They're a legendary rock band!"

Yan Yunzhuo frowned: "Is it really that powerful? How come I've never heard of it?"

Gao Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his head, smiled and said, "It's not very popular in the country."

Yingzi said lazily, "Rock music is just yelling and screaming, there's nothing good about it."

Cui Dayou suddenly spoke:

“Pink Floyd was a band I used to listen to a lot when I was a kid.”

"I drew a lot of inspiration from their songs. When I was writing songs in the early days, I also absorbed and transformed their styles."

After he finished speaking, Yingzi opened her mouth but in the end no words came out.

Yan Yunzhuo frowned and said, "Why put up this poster? Is Tianya the same as Chichi?"

She reached out and tapped the screen.

Then, another picture appeared on the screen.

This is a photo. In the picture, a white-haired old man is sitting on the sofa, smiling at the camera.

Next to him, a Chinese man, wearing sunglasses, with his hands to his mouth, legs crossed, was huddled on another sofa.

Below the photo, there is a line of English writing.

Translated:

“To jx:

Your songs filled the last gap left by the band after I left.

Bless you, but I am more happy that you will be back home soon.

I hope you won't come again. The greatest troublemaker.

—Roger Waters.
