Chapter 7: Opening the Door to a New World
Lu Yusheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took the initiative, saying, "Why do you think musical instruments can produce sound?"
Sikong Zhaixing subconsciously repeated, "Uh, why..."
Before I could finish speaking, he ruthlessly interrupted me: "Is it because of the vibration?"
At this moment, Lu Yusheng's eyes were resolute, attempting to use his knowledge gained from dropping out of kindergarten to get away with it.
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng also began to ponder, and after instantly grasping the blind spot, he retorted, "Vibration? Then the flute and the xiao..."
Lu Yusheng didn't dare give him a chance to recover, so he immediately handed over his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and interrupted again, "Touch this again."
Lu Xiaofeng wasn't angry even before he finished speaking; instead, he obediently reached out and touched it with his finger.
But it seems that didn't happen...
This time, she didn't give anyone else a chance to speak, and preemptively said loudly, "Yes, it's vibrating too."
Sikong Zhaixing, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes, seemingly not believing it.
Lu Yusheng turned to the one who was touching his phone and looked more intelligent, and said, "What do you think... Brother Lu? We were family a hundred years ago, would I lie to you?"
Before Lu Xiaofeng could reply, Sikong Zhaixing, the only one who knew both of their names, spoke up silently: "You are the 'Lu' in 'road,' and he is the 'Lu' in 'number.' Don't you two seem to be on different wavelengths?"
What? !
Seeing that he couldn't smooth things over, Lu Yusheng simply clicked his tongue in despair: "Digging to the bottom of things is bad civilization."
As he spoke, ignoring their stunned gazes, he continued, "...Do you know about weapon cultivation? Those games you played before were some of my more successful creations on my cultivation path. There are even more exciting ones out there, want to try them?"
After saying that, she poured herself another glass of water, her hands trembling as she fed herself while observing the two people's reactions.
Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng on the opposite side exchanged a glance:
"What did she just say?"
"It seems to be vibration, right..."
"Yes, that must be the reason."
Neither of them had a deep understanding of mechanical arts, and seeing that Lu Yusheng had started to ramble on, they stopped talking.
Lu Xiaofeng, however, remembered a close friend of his who was in the same field and decided to ask him about it in more detail later.
————————
"This song is good."
Sikong Zhaixing held the new phone that Lu Yusheng had bought for him, playing with it and praising it highly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yusheng stopped picking vegetables and listened attentively for a while.
The most challenging songs in the game's music library are those with a faster tempo, and most of them may not appeal to the general public. The song he's playing now is surprisingly good.
Even the occasional noise of pressing a special cursor or a continuous click notification does not affect the overall melody; in fact, it creates a unique sense of harmony.
So he earnestly agreed, "Yes, it sounds nice."
"Right!"
Because Sikong Zhaixing was still busy with her work, even though her aesthetic sense was recognized, she simply gave a brief reply and quickly went back to her work.
After that day, regardless of whether he believed Lu Yusheng's various explanations, he rekindled his interest in rhythm games with background music and adapted well to them.
He even agreed without hesitation when she offered to sell him the same toy at a friendly price.
But according to the little girl, there's something called a power outlet that only she has, so even though he's already bought the phone, he can only play it here.
Lu Xiaofeng had other things to do, and despite his continued curiosity about the place, he ultimately had to leave.
Putting everything else aside, Lu Yusheng was quite happy about Sikong Zhaixing's decision to stay.
Gao Di also knew some martial arts, and although he didn't agree to take her as a disciple, having him around provided a sense of security.
He probably won't leave easily until he gets tired of the games here... right?
As I was thinking, the music in my ears switched to the background music from the game's main screen.
Presumably, the song had finished playing, so she went over to take a look at the rating.
It just so happens that the settlement has just begun, and the first thing that catches the eye is the big, colorful words "All bo Perfect".
Perfect full combo...
Even Lu Yusheng was amazed by her hand speed. If she remembered correctly, the difficulty level of this song should be above five stars. She has been playing mobile games for so many years, and it is difficult for her to maintain a full combo on a four-star song.
Unexpectedly, Sikong Zhaixing was able to perform a full combo even on the highest difficulty level of five stars, and it was a perfect full combo where every key was pressed in the center.
The final frame freezes, showing the numbers on the scoreboard scrolling several times before settling on the integer 2.6 million points, which is also the song's maximum score.
"Master, awesome!"
She was full of admiration, but a sense of crisis involuntarily arose in her heart. Judging from his effortless performance, she would probably get tired of him soon.
However, the rhythm game market is quite mature now... After thinking about it, she decided to download a different game for him to try.
She thought this way and quickly put it into action.
He directly asked the young man in front of him for his opinion: "You've basically tried all the songs in this game. I have some other similar games here. The gameplay is a bit different, but they are also rhythm games that train your hand speed. Would you like to try them?"
"Other games? Sure, you can do it."
Sikong Zhaixing simply left her phone on the table, letting Sikong take it and operate it for a while.
In a corner where Lu Yusheng couldn't see, he secretly hid his slightly trembling hands under the table after the outburst and massaged them alternately.
Yesterday, he had brazenly mocked Lu Xiaofeng, who was flustered and clumsy during his first experience with a rhythm game, in front of Lu Yusheng, so he naturally couldn't show any weakness now.
Moreover, that guy also practiced finger skills, and after adapting to the game mode, his progress even surpassed his initial level.
This sparked Sikong Zhaixing's competitive spirit, which led to his outburst today.
Well, the hands of the King of Thieves are very precious, and proper maintenance is necessary... This has nothing to do with whether he's weak or not.

Lu Yusheng, who was smug about having a free bodyguard the night before, looked at his empty room the next day and felt like crying.
That makes sense. After all, he's a master thief. Although it's not a respectable profession, he still needs to make a living.
Sensing her emotions, the system, unusually puzzled, proactively asked, "Why would you place your hopes for safety on a stranger? Didn't I tell you the system would protect you?"
Lu Yusheng was surprised that this could be noticed, and remained silent for a moment, feeling guilty.
...It's because someone else quietly appeared in the house that day without being noticed, and she always suspects that there might be a bug in the system.
Of course, she wouldn't say such things directly and offend anyone, so she changed the subject, saying, "Let's not worry about that for now... I'm afraid it's not easy to open an internet cafe for the time being."
Although both of them later seemed to trust her explanation completely, you could tell from their expressions that it would take some time before her worldview was truly reshaped.
Lu Yusheng didn't consider whether what he had presented was too advanced. Instead, he said to the system with a pained expression, "These people have a very poor ability to accept things. The plan needs to be put on hold for now."
After paying for the internet connection, there was still a considerable amount of money left over, but living off this savings wasn't a sustainable solution.
She's not considering working part-time anymore. Maybe she should try out a project that's more acceptable to everyone first?
