“Young man, your Erh-hu playing is absolutely amazing! It sounds like a thousand armies galloping by, so powerful!” The elderly man, who had recovered from his shock, gave Wang Hao an unreserved thumbs up.
Hearing the elderly man’s praise, Wang Hao scratched his head a little shyly and replied with a humble smile, “Oh, you flatter me, sir.”
“You’re so young, how can you play the Erh-hu so well? Young people nowadays aren’t really interested in these old things,” the elderly man asked curiously.
Wang Hao smiled slightly; he couldn’t possibly tell the other person that his Erhu Skill was given to him by the system.
So he chose to fabricate a white lie: “My master particularly loves playing the Erh-hu, and I often listened to him, so I slowly learned a bit.”
The elderly man nodded in approval after hearing this, and praised sincerely, “To be able to teach such an outstanding apprentice like you, your master’s skill must be truly extraordinary!”
Wang Hao thought to himself, the skill of this ‘cheat’ master could no longer be described as high; it was simply cheating!
At this moment, it wasn’t just this rather outgoing and cheerful elderly man who actively approached Wang Hao to communicate and express his admiration for his musical artistry;
Even the other listeners sitting in the long corridor cast gazes full of surprise and envy towards Wang Hao.
Everyone secretly thought to themselves that they had been ‘shown up’ by this Erh-hu player, but they had to admit that he indeed played wonderfully and powerfully.
At this moment, countless brilliant stars twinkled in Wang Lan’s eyes, as if all the light of the universe had converged there.
In her eyes, Wang Hao was like a dazzling superstar, exuding an irresistible charm and radiance.
And she, like a younger sister standing on a giant’s shoulders, was filled with pride and joy.
Wang Lan had witnessed firsthand the shock brought by Wang Hao’s magnificent performance.
Every note, every melody, touched her heart like magic.
As her brother’s performance became more and more outstanding, Wang Lan’s joy grew even more intense.
After all, they were family; her brother’s glory was her glory!
However, if one were to choose the happiest person at this moment, Wang Lan would undoubtedly top the list, but closely following her was not Wang Hao, but the streamer who had aimed her camera at Wang Hao.
Since Wang Hao entered her live stream, the number of viewers had soared like a rocket, quickly breaking previous records and even surpassing the historical high.
The scrolling bullet comments on the screen were filled with various exclamations and words of praise, causing the live stream’s popularity to climb to a new height.
The streamer was so excited she almost jumped; she felt incredibly fortunate for her clever decision.
Fortunate that she chose to turn her camera to Wang Hao a few minutes ago.
At this moment, she truly felt how important choices on life’s path were; her small action had brought her such immense benefits.
Just as she finished a round of wonderful interaction with the viewers in her live stream and was about to approach Wang Hao to strike up a conversation and perhaps try to invite him,
She looked up and realized that Wang Hao had already vanished without a trace.
It turned out that Wang Hao simply couldn’t bear the fiery gazes of the people around him, so he hurriedly pulled his sister and fled in a panic.
The plan to use this opportunity to improve his skill proficiency could only be declared a failure.
After all, Wang Hao’s original personality was relatively introverted and reserved, always adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile.
Although he was now slightly more outgoing with the help of the ‘cheat,’ overall, he would still follow his true inner thoughts and try to avoid unpredictable and unwanted attention.
This attitude towards life could be said to be an inherent characteristic that Wang Hao had formed over many years.
Wang Lan, understanding her brother’s personality, did not overly force him to continue showing off, but obediently followed him as they left together.
Afterward, the two wandered around for a while longer. As night gradually fell, they chose to return home.
This relaxed and comfortable afternoon passed leisurely, and Wang Hao felt that such a life was truly too pleasant and wonderful, almost unreal.
Wang Hao knew very well that life after having the ‘cheat’ would undergo earth-shattering changes.
What was once a rare moment of leisure might become an ordinary daily routine in the future.
At this thought, an indescribable joy welled up in his heart, but at the same time, a trace of inexplicable melancholy also arose.
He used to toil daily for food and necessities, with no time to stop and appreciate the beauty around him. Now, just because of the appearance of the ‘cheat,’ he experienced a different life, which made him feel melancholic about life’s encounters.
At that time, he drifted with the tide like the common people, confined to his familiar small world, contentedly following the path others had set for him.
For example, running that small roadside stall: besides making a living, it also allowed him to feel a bit of comfort.
However, when someone like Wang Hao, who has the ability to break through existing circles and bravely step into the wider world, suddenly finds that there is no ready-made path ahead, he becomes at a loss.
At this moment, he can only rely on himself to make choices, to bravely forge ahead and carve out his own unique life path.
Wang Hao felt that it was very necessary to plan his future days, even if after planning, he found unreasonable parts when actually implementing them.
Then he could choose not to execute them, but such a plan would also be a good inspiration for guiding his later life.
However, this faint melancholy was quickly set aside by Wang Hao, choosing to enjoy the present life and not overly worry about the future.
This was a secret to a happy life left by the formerly broad-minded and plump Wang Hao to the now slimmed-down Wang Hao.
“Xiao Lan, tonight I’ll make you a big meal, something you’ve definitely never eaten before, how about it?” Wang Hao said with a confident look.
When his Advanced Cooking Skill was upgraded, many recipes appeared in his mind, and Wang Hao had only absorbed them, not yet replicated them in reality.
Ever since he discovered that the increase in proficiency was closely related to the difficulty of the works produced, he secretly resolved that he could no longer be limited to home-cooked dishes and little star, these simple dishes and tunes.
Although home-cooked dishes were relatively easy to make and saved energy, in order to improve proficiency and fully utilize the powerful skills granted by this magical ‘cheat,’ Wang Hao knew he had to try some new tricks.
“Okay, okay, let’s go to the market quickly to buy things!” Wang Lan clapped her hands excitedly.
Her brother’s outstanding Cooking Skill had already captivated her taste buds, making her unable to extricate herself.
Now, hearing that her brother was going to cook a dinner she had never eaten before, she was practically impatient, even unable to stop herself from salivating.
Just as the siblings were excitedly preparing for the upcoming dinner, they did not notice that a short video storm sweeping across the internet was quietly brewing, and Wang Hao was about to be swept into it.
