Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 183 180. Kahn's Apprentice Gloves, Cyan Vitality Potion

After the rehearsal, everyone parted ways downstairs in Yudong's office building and made an appointment to meet next Monday.

"Go to the night stand for skewers?"

Sun Yuman hadn't seen Chen Xuan for half a month, and it happened that the three of them didn't have dinner in the afternoon.

"I have no opinion."

Li An didn't care, anyway, he wasn't the one who lost weight.

So the eyes of the two focused on Chen Xuan's face.

There is anticipation in a smile, and provocation in a smile.

Chen Xuan hesitated and thought that it would be fine if she just found a place to sit down. It was rare that she didn't eat tonight, so she might lose a catty or two tomorrow if she passed by.

A gust of wind blew in front of them, and the three of them unconsciously turned their backs. Sun Yuman stomped his neck into the neckline and stomped his feet. He should say: "Let's eat hot pot, it's too cold outside."

Hearing the hot pot, Chen Xuan was a little shaken.

Her questioning eyes fell on Li An's face, and Li An smiled: "If you want to eat, just indulge again."

Sun Yuman raised her left eyebrow, "No, Sister Mi, you want to lose weight?" As she spoke, she looked at Li An, her eyes seemed to ask 'what is she doing? '

Li An spread her hands: "She said she was fat."

Sun Yuman waved his hand.

"set off!"

The three of them came to Sun Yuman's car, Li An looked at it and opened his mouth slightly, how could he come here?

Then for a moment, he recalled the night he taught Ji Yang for the first time, when he took a taxi at the bus stop after class, a red Mustang galloped past him.

Doesn't Sun Yuman's family live in Guanshan No. [-] Courtyard?

On the way, Li An told this passage, and Sun Yuman clicked his tongue: "It must be me."

She remembered that night very clearly, Xiaomi's second office party was not gathered again because of someone, "Hey, that heartless one."

Li Ang: "Never mind?"

Hearing Li An's doubtful tone, the second daughter laughed.

So Li An also laughed, thinking about laughing, he seemed to understand a little bit.

"Hehehe."

Sun Yuman: "Let's talk about it first, don't compete with me today."

Ang Li: "Don't, don't, I owe you a meal."

Sun Yuman hehe: "It's such a big deal, why don't you treat me to hot pot?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."
-
Because of Chen Xuan's weight loss, and the exam time was a bit late, there were not many dishes, which directly caused Li An to not eat enough.

Can only rely on non-stop drinking water.

It is also full of water.

After the meal, Sun Yuman sent the two of them home.

"See you on Monday, bye."

"Bye, drive slowly on the road and pay attention to safety."

It was only in the elevator that Chen Xuan realized that Li An was not full, and blamed him, "Then Xiao Yu asked you what else you ordered just now?"

Li Ang: "I'm also embarrassed to treat people."

When she got home, Chen Xuan shouted tired and dragged her clothes to lie on the bed. Li An used the hot pot today to throw the clothes accumulated for a week into the washing machine.

"Is there anything else to wash?" he asked over his shoulder.

In the bedroom, "Scrub that white underwear for me."

After finishing all the work, Li An decided to change to a washing machine.

At that time, I bought a second-hand small-capacity one as an emergency. It was no problem in summer, but in winter, the material of the clothes was thick, and it seemed to be very difficult.

"Come on, exercise."

Hanging Chen Xuan's underwear on the balcony, he laid a yoga mat beside the piano.

Turn on the computer and choose an episode of Sister Pa's aerobic exercises.

Chen Xuan wanted to give up tonight.

Unsuccessful.

He was lifted off the bed by Li An.

After some exercise, the two went to the bathroom.

After washing, Li An took out the clothes in the washing machine to dry before going to bed, went back to the bedroom, turned off the lights and went to bed.

"What did you and Xiao Yu say this afternoon?"

Two options flashed through Li An's mind.

"I didn't say anything, let's chat. Hey, is the boyfriend she talked about in college playing the piano or the violin? You told me last time."

"Plays the piano."

Chen Xuan sighed quietly.

When she was talking here, the taxi arrived at Chengnan Lane.

Seeing that Chen Xuan didn't continue talking, Li An didn't ask any more. He had a premonition that some unpleasant things happened to Sun Yuman and her piano boyfriend, which led to their breakup.

moment.

"Li An, will you give up love for the sake of your future?"

"Are those two things in conflict?"

"What if there is a conflict."

"That depends on what kind of future conflicts with what kind of love."

"Like us, what kind of future will you have to give up for?"

a long time.

"You are my future."

Li An turned over and hugged the person beside the pillow.

"Good night."

Chen Xuan didn't really understand Li An's answer, but she thought it was a very heartwarming sentence.

After a hard day, she was already exhausted, the gears of her thinking gradually stopped turning, and she lost consciousness within a few breaths.

Not long after, Li An also fell asleep.
-
Six hours later, Li An was woken up by urinating for the second time.

I drank too much water while eating hot pot yesterday.

Sitting up in a daze, looking for slippers, this time when he half-opened his eyes, a white light suddenly flashed in front of him.

For a moment, the brain is awake like the rising sun.

Compared with the upgrade reminder, he was more concerned about how Ji Yang, a silly boy, practiced piano in the middle of the night.

There was no upgrade prompt when I woke up for the first time.

It's just that the gun was about to go off, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Step on the slippers and leave the bedroom quickly.

Eighty thousand behind him was like a fat cheetah in the dark, and ran after him, but it was a little more clumsy and less murderous.

"Meow-"

What awaited him was another family style.
-
Since being promoted to level five at the end of September, Li An basically no longer paid attention to the leveling experience.

To upgrade, excavate, and if you dig out something that can be used, you will keep it, and if you don't use it, you will throw it back.

Expect rewards, but not obsessively.

Things that come purely by luck are not something that can be controlled by others.

On this issue, his heart is 90.00% calm.

Probably only at the moment when the reward was dug out, the emotional surge of one of the hundred people would appear.

Human nature, it is inevitable.

'Whether to choose to upgrade. '

"Yes."

On the toilet seat, Mr. Li An's sitting posture is not elegant.

Blue light flashed.

The level display on the interface has changed from 5, and the experience value for the next upgrade will increase sharply to (0/600).

'Congratulations to teacher Ang Lee for level +1'

'Potential student list +2'

'Ann Lee's piano classroom can accommodate +1 students'

Accompanied by the notification sound in his ear, the picture in front of him cut to the land he was familiar with again in an instant.

With the addition of the car, the scene of reclamation is even stronger.

The five children followed behind him, vigorously waving the small hoe in their hands.

'Upgrade Reward Mining, level [-] can dig two items. '

At this moment, the green-haired king Xiaohu suddenly fell down. Before he could react in the picture, Ji Yang immediately put down the hoe.

At the moment when the cartoon Jiyang put down her hoe, two blue lights flashed from under her hoe.

'Find Karn's Apprentice Gloves. "

"Found a bottle of Vitality Potion."

The reminder in the ear did not take away Li An's attention. When he saw Ji Yang, who was half-headed, put down his hoe and bent over to help Wang Xiaohu up, it seemed that there was no longer a pixel cartoon in front of him.

Like a real thing.

Perhaps in this small world that only he can see, the five children are living in another way.

Thinking of this, and looking at Ji Yang in the picture, he thinks that when he is busy, Ji Yang will be here to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters.

This "he" is naturally the one in the picture.

For the first time, Ang Lee felt that there must be a small world in the system.

He will pay more attention in the future.

Smiling, his eyes came to two items.

[Karn's Apprentice Gloves]

Item introduction: This pair of gloves has accompanied the blacksmith Karn through his entire apprenticeship, and when worn, it will slightly increase the wrist strength of the left hand.

【Blue Vitality Potion】

Item introduction: Drink it, it will cheer you up.

Ang Lee doesn't play games.

However, just looking at the introduction of the two items dug up during this upgrade made him feel like he was playing a game.

Or the kind set in the middle ages of Europe.

Thinking back carefully about the last upgrade, I seem to have this feeling too.

"Slightly increase the strength of the left wrist."

Withdrawing his thoughts, his eyes returned to Kahn's gloves.

From the point of view of the function of props, this statement is very reminiscent of directly improving the staccato technique of the left wrist.

Really good stuff.

The vast majority of pianists have a weaker left wrist than their right.

Even a slight increase can improve the grain texture in actual performance.

Sometimes, just a little boost can completely change the music.

Ang Lee just thought of the scene where he played Mendelssohn's Prelude and Fugue in B minor with this pair of gloves. He seemed to have felt the air beating with his left hand.

However, from his own point of view, he has an instinctive rejection of such props that rely on the outside to improve his performance.

When a pianist sits in front of the piano, from the time he stretches out his hands to press the first note, every inch of force he uses should be a subconscious reaction after a lot of hard work.

He doesn't know what kind of experience the external promotion will give him when playing, but he knows that even if the feeling is very good, he can't feel at ease in his heart.

Because it was never his.

And he still has to play the piano for the rest of his life. If there are any hidden dangers left for the future because of temporary success, it must not be what he wants to see.

Every technique about the piano can be mastered by practice. (√)
Thinking of this, he no longer missed the gloves.

"Drink it, it will cheer you up."

Compared with such things, it makes people feel more at ease.

It's just a starting point, but it can make people have the energy to do more things.

At least that's how Ang Lee understood it, and judging from the value analysis of the first item, the other item that was dug up together shouldn't be much different.

Just then the countdown window pops up.

[Option [-]: Collect one of them, and the item will be automatically included in the inventory]

[Option [-]: Give up, and continue to increase the probability of digging top-quality rewards for the next upgrade]

[Currently, the probability of digging the best props is 60%]

Just you.

'Are you sure to choose [Blue Vitality Potion] as the reward for this upgrade? '

"determine."

'Ding, teacher Li An harvested a bottle of green vitality potion. '

The screen flashes back to the original interface.

Li An opened the inventory, and in the grid on the right of the orchestral method, stood a plain green glass bottle.

Only then did he notice a tiny silver five-pointed star in the upper left corner of the glass bottle.

'Do you want to use the blue vitality potion? '

There are only so many item introductions, and there is no clue. Since it can make people feel refreshed, let's save it for use before the game.

Ang Lee chose no.

Before closing the interface, he took a glance at the system classroom.

Hey.

The four children all have zzZ on their heads
Only Ji Yang sat in front of the piano and raised his hands up and down.

Hey.

Back to the bedroom with a numb left leg, the time on the phone was almost six o'clock.

He planned to have a chat with Ji Yang in class tonight, but this is not going to work.

I wanted to lie down and sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep after being rewarded for leveling up and making such a fuss with Ji Yang.

So I got up, put on my coat, went to the living room and turned on the computer.

Log in to the official website of the Xinghai Cup Competition, enter the player login information, press Enter, and a row of options will pop up on the page.

Slide the mouse and click on the youth public group at the bottom.

Two seconds later, the information of all the players entering the second round appeared on the page in a flash.

Scanned roughly.

More than 80.00% of the contestants are students in major domestic music colleges.

Underneath their photos are written their preferred colleges.

And under the names of the remaining 20.00% of the contestants who did not have school status, it was written that they were elected by the Musicians Association where their ID cards were located.

Just like him, under his name it says "Nominated by Gansu Musicians Association".

In fact, this is somewhat nonsensical. His registration has nothing to do with the Gansu Music Association, but who made the information on his ID card still in his hometown.

Moreover, in the regulations of the competition, in the column of cooperative units, the names of the music associations of each province are indeed signed.

But these don't matter to Li An.

The focus of his attention is still on the players in various colleges.

Then he discovered something quite interesting.

As the top two schools in the country.

This year, a total of 8 people from the Haiyuan Academy entered the second round, while only 1 person from the Huaguo Academy entered the second round.

This is very unscientific.

After thinking about it, he could only think of one conclusion.

In order to verify his conclusion, he opened Baidu and quickly searched the promotion list of each round of the previous college group.

Pretty much what he expected.

Among the nearly four sessions that can be found, in three of them, only one person from the Huaguo Academy entered the second round, and only two contestants from the Huaguo Academy entered the second round in the 16th session.

This has to make him think that the Huaguo Academy will only send one or two "seeded players" to participate in the highest group of events in each competition?

Or even send only one person?
Ang Lee's further conclusion is not without basis, because he then discovered something more interesting.

One of the two contestants in the No.16 Huaguo Academy appeared in the second round of the promotion list this year.

This year, the contestant's school of choice is the Yangcheng Conservatory of Music.

That is to say, when this contestant participated in No.16, he was still an undergraduate student at Huaguo Academy, but his graduate student went to Yangcheng Academy.

To be honest, this kind of top-down examination is still rare.

It's not that the Yangcheng Academy is bad, but it's still a lot worse than the Huaguo Academy.

Four years ago, he represented the Huaguo Academy, and this year represented the Yangcheng Academy.

Li An remembered this girl named Jiang Sheng.

At the same time, there is also the only representative of the Hua Guoyuan this year, Liang Chunyu, named after him.

He couldn't tell who was who in the first grade of the Haiyuan University, so go back and ask Lin Youyou, the other party came back from Haiyuan just now, so he should have a clearer understanding of the strength of these people.

From his appearance alone, he felt that this bald man surnamed Tang should be a ruthless character.

Other colleges were in twos and threes, and he didn't know the specific strength of these people.

But one thing is certain, those who can stand out from more than 400 people have already gone through a round of screening.

These people probably represent the existence of the second and third levels of the overall piano level pyramid in China.

And here he is.

The first step is self-inspection. (√)
The next goal: to pass the second round and enter the third round.
