Chapter 605 Promotion
Tick.
Tick.
The sound of the clock ticking seconds could be heard in the spacious piano practice room.
The sunlight shines on the ground from the window, and the warm and comfortable breeze blows out from the open window, making the curtains on both sides of the window sway slightly.
A young boy was lying on the covered piano in the practice room, enjoying a comfortable nap.
Until something cold touched his face.
"!!!"
Li Qi suddenly woke up and subconsciously reached out to grab the wrist holding the cold object.
Then the girl's cry of pain came:
"ah!"
Boom.
A can of iced cola fell onto the carpet with a slight sound.
The orange-haired girl looked a little painful, then looked up at Li Qi who suddenly stood up and asked:
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"You...you are...Zhang Yang?"
Li Qi stared at the orange-haired girl in front of him with a dazed look. The girl twisted her wrist and replied, "Of course it's me! Are you stupid? Let go of my hand! It hurts so much!"
“…”
Li Qi then noticed that he was holding the girl's wrist tightly, and he quickly loosened his grip, letting the girl go, and stared at the orange-haired girl in front of him.
The girl in front of him was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old, the age of a high school student.
She has orange hair that would never appear in reality. Her long hair is tied into a ponytail and bounces behind her.
Her eyebrows are also orange, and her eyes are bright yellow. Her facial features look very harmonious. She is not too beautiful, but gives people a cute and energetic feeling.
And paired with a beautiful dress with orange spots, she looks even more energetic.
Zhang Yang...
I almost forgot about you... Why are you here...
Yes, I remember now. I am absorbing soul power, so this is a small world constructed by soul power?
Li Qi's eyes moved away from Zhang Yang.
Li Qi, who has now met his first love again after who knows how many lifetimes, no longer has any other feelings except a little nostalgia.
Or rather... he was a little tired of this routine.
"Hey! Stop daydreaming! Hurry up and pick up the Coke! Do you know how much effort I put into bringing you this bottle of iced Coke? Your mother is so unreasonable..."
Zhang Yang shook his wrist and pointed at Li Qi.
Li Qi looked at her orange ponytail, which was not short hair yet, and realized the time period they were in.
This happened when Li Qi met Zhang Yang not long after he met him in the first world.
Li Qi, who had been given an "elite education" by his mother since childhood, was not allowed to go out and play casually.
Don’t eat junk food, and don’t even touch carbohydrate drinks like Coke.
In order to call Li Qi out, Zhang Yang came here as Li Qi's friend and even secretly brought a bottle of Coke.
Zhang Yang didn't have a bag with her, and her dress didn't have any pockets, so if she wanted to bring the iced Coke with her, she would need to hide it close to her body.
At that time, all the places where Zhang Yang hid his body had turned red from the cold, just to let Li Qi drink the Coke he wanted.
That was also the first time that Li Qi fell in love with her.
Did the illusion created by the small world come directly from the first world? What strange power is there in this world that is worth absorbing? Li Qi picked up the Coke and frowned, sensing the possible power, but he could not sense anything.
"Very good, you take the Coke!" Suddenly Zhang Yang raised his lips and pointed at Li Qi and said, "Then you have to form a band with me now! We are just short of you as a keyboard player!"
“…You haven’t given up yet.”
"I won't give up! I absolutely won't give up! Because I know that you are longing for freedom, right!"
Zhang Yang said very seriously.
Li Qi felt a little nostalgic and wanted to laugh at the same time when he heard this.
At that time, he was almost suffocated at home and really hoped that there was someone like this who could take him out. So when Zhang Yang gave him the Coke, Li Qi took the opportunity to escape with Zhang Yang.
The band was formed on the same day, and then at the school festival a month later, Li Qi and the band members performed a song in front of his mother.
Then, just like the common plot in anime, the mother understood Li Qi and stopped preventing him from contacting his friends...
Although his mother later found someone in the entertainment industry to push him into the industry... I have to say that that period was quite happy.
If he could repeat this moment, Li Qi felt that he would be able to feel a lot more relaxed even if he didn't absorb any soul power.
With this in mind, Li Qi followed Zhang Yang's experience and escaped from home, met his other teammates, and formed a campus band named "Happy Band" as before.
This small world created by Li Qi and Xin Lian was different from any illusion Li Qi had ever encountered before.
It is real enough that not only does it strictly follow the rules of the real world in terms of time, but even the passers-by have faces and their own lives.
Even Li Qi can use other powers here.
For example, alchemy.
If Li Qi didn't know that this was a real illusion created to allow him to absorb power, he might have really thought that he had returned to the original world.
But ignoring these benefits, there was a problem that made Li Qi very concerned.
Where is the soul power that should be absorbed?
Didn't he say he was coming in to absorb soul power? But why didn't Li Qi sense any soul power?
Of course, the soul power cultivation method clearly mentions that if you want to cultivate soul power in a small world, you must first understand the rules and power system of that world.
First, practice according to the power system of that world to match your own soul power. Only in this way can the soul power be steadily improved.
But the problem is that the music world is just an ordinary world...
Li Qi couldn't figure this out at first.
It was not until he stood on the stage again and played music with his teammates that Li Qi understood...what the "power system" of this world was.
"Are you ready? It's about to begin!"
As the lead singer and guitarist Zhang Yang sang and Li Qi played the electronic piano, there was warm cheers from the audience.
Invisible soul power came from those cheering people, and the more loyal the fans of Li Qi's band were, the purer the soul power they provided!
In just one song, Li Qi felt that his soul power had greatly improved.
That is the difference from nothing to something.
"I see. The power of this world... is music?"
Looking at Zhang Yang standing in the center of the band and singing loudly, Li Qi understood.
That's true. The world's enthusiasm for music is abnormally high, just like a "gambling" project in the gambler's world.
It is something that is admired by all the people.
And often in such a world, the more popular something is, the easier it is to become the mainstream system in the current world.
"…So, the visions I occasionally saw when I played with them weren't illusions?"
Li Qi thought again that when he was in the music world, whether he was singing or playing music, there was a chance that a certain degree of illusion would form around him.
However, it seemed that only Li Qi himself could see this illusion. At least Zhang Yang and the others didn’t seem to notice anything.
Li Qi at that time thought that he had mental problems.
Looking back now, that might be the embodiment of the power of this world.
Music brings power!
With the influx of power, Li Qi played more and more skillfully, and the sound he played seemed to have a strange magic, driving others crazy.
And while playing like this, until Li Qi became a superstar step by step, Li Qi felt that he had mastered a quarter of his soul power.
When this one quarter of soul power was absorbed by Li Qi, the world began to change.
The second small world appeared before Li Qi.
…
The sound of mahjong tiles falling on the table is dull but thrilling.
Li Qi, who had been in the second world for some time, sat in a corner of the mahjong table and looked at the other three people on the field.
Now is the semi-final of the World Gamblers Championship, and the competition system adopted in the semi-final is an elimination system.
The top eight players who pass the preliminary round will be divided into two tables to compete in mahjong. The top two players with the highest points will have the right to participate in the finals and will also be awarded the title of World Gambling King.
Li Qi is now in such a competition.
And his opponent, as luck would have it... is the son of destiny of this world.
"Although that was the case at the time..."
According to the original trajectory, Li Qi's opponents in the semi-finals are his childhood sweetheart Bai Shuangshuang, Jin Ming, one of the world's gambling kings in the previous term, and Zhou Chenxing, the son of luck in this world, a high school student who has entered this supreme hall after learning gambling skills for less than a year.
All four of them are from China, so it is not wrong to say that this semi-final is a civil war in China.
Normally it's just a game of mahjong, nothing to be afraid of.
Li Qi has been through so much that he is not afraid of a game of mahjong, but the prerequisite is that the opponent he plays against is a normal person.
Not to mention Li Qi's own superpower of being able to judge the other person's state and emotions, just talking about the other two people, their "abilities" can be said to be world-class.
Jin Ming's ability is [Future Preview]. He can see the final outcome and the game of cards in a short period of time, and by changing the card situation, he can turn the situation to his advantage.
And Zhou Chenxing’s ability… now when Li Qi thinks about it, it seems a little outrageous.
His ability is to copy.
He can copy all the abilities he has ever seen. Although he can only use three abilities at most in each gambling game, one ability alone is enough for him to enter the Gambler's Competition, let alone three.
And Li Qi remembered that the three abilities Zhou Chenxing used in this game were [Danger Prediction], [Game Fog], and [Counter-Seal].
Danger foresight allows Zhou Chenxing to avoid dangerous cards and never let anyone down.
The fog of the game will interfere with other gamblers' perception of the momentum of the game, making it impossible for people to tell where the cards they want are.
The ability of sealing is specially prepared for Jin Ming. It can temporarily seal someone's ability. The seal is not strong at the beginning, but as the battle lasts longer, the seal will become stronger.
Until the user is no longer able to use his ability.
A single ability is difficult enough to deal with, let alone three.
But in fact, they are not the real dangerous people at the table.
But it was Li Qi’s childhood sweetheart in this life, Bai Shuangshuang.
Because of her ability.
It is God descending.
