Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1337. The Second Movement of the Reunion: Black and White [Part 557]

The two people, one big and one small, walked up to the front of the stage and stopped in front of Ang Lee.

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, what is the punishment?"

Li Ziming was a little scared, but she still mustered up her courage: "Teacher, punish me."

The entire audience was completely charmed by Xiao Zimo.

Ang Lee smiled and pulled a card out of his pocket.

Then, facing a blank screen, he said, "Please perform two tigers."

Hahahahaha!
The audience was laughing so hard they were rolling on the floor!

Having Wang Xiaohu perform as two tigers is a really great idea!
Hey ~
Wang Xiaohu strongly suspected that the card the teacher was holding at that moment did not actually contain this punishment.

That's fine, at least it's relatively simple.

"and many more."

"The requirement is to sing the theme melody of Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major."

Hahahaha!

Upon hearing this, Boss X walked towards a piano.

Li Ziming tiptoed closer to Wang Xiaohu and said in a very soft voice, "Don't worry, Captain, I can sing."

Wang Xiaohu grinned, turned around, and patted Xiao Ziming's shoulder. "Then you'll have to take me with you."

Li Ziming: "Hehe!"

Just then, Boss X's piano music began, and the Nocturne in E-flat major flowed gently into everyone's ears, while the mountains outside the window were already covered with the glow of the setting sun.

The hall was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Just as the first topic was about to end, Boss X stopped.

All eyes turned back to Wang Xiaohu.

"Watch my hand gestures, be careful to weakly attack."

"Understood, Captain! Don't worry!"

Wang Xiaohu raised his left hand and gently drew a horizontal line and an upward line. Just as his raised hand was about to fall, he opened his mouth.

Two tigers

"Hahahaha!"

The moment the audience had been waiting for to burst into laughter finally arrived, but as they laughed, everyone's attention gradually shifted to Xiao Ziming.

Two tigers

Wang Xiaohu continued singing while clapping along, seemingly incredulous.

“um-um-um-um——”

Xiao Ziming is currently singing the accompaniment part of the nocturne in a closed-mouth voice, following the melody of his performance!

The scene was absolutely stunning!
Cloud: "What terrible pitch."

I drew my sword and tried it out quietly, only to find it incredibly difficult.

Ruby: "That sounds great."

Although his voice has changed, Wang Xiaohu's timbre still retains the clarity of a young boy's voice. With the stable accompaniment enhanced by the children's voice, it gives people a unique sense of beauty.

"It never had a tail—"

“umumum-um——”

Wang Han: "This child is amazing, congratulations!"

Huang Chuxian: "Zi Mo is in perfect pitch."

The teachers' gazes shifted repeatedly.

Fu Yu: "That's really impressive."

The little car smiled and said, "Of course."

"Wow!"

Applause erupted as the duo finished their performance.

Wang Xiaohu, holding Xiao Zimo's hand, grinned at the crowd below the stage.

"thank you all!"

Xiao Zimo grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth: "Thank you everyone!"

Hey, this isn't a jeering sound, everyone's just captivated by this pair of boys!
Just then, someone said, "Zimo, wait a minute."

"Teacher Li." Xiao Ziming was no longer afraid.

"Why couldn't you guess it was Chopin?" Ang Lee was very curious, as it seemed that the boy knew about Chopin's music.

As one of the five referees, he watched the entire game process of all five groups.

Xiao Zimo guessed almost all the major composers of the Romantic period, but he couldn't guess Chopin.

"Because I don't like Chopin!"

Audience:
next second.

Xiao Zimo suddenly grinned again: "But I'm starting to like Chopin now!"

The audience was once again charmed by her cuteness.

Ruby: "Come here and give Auntie a hug!"

Ang Lee nodded and took out a red musical note medal sticker from his pocket.

"This is your special reward for this round of the game!"

Xiao Zimo's mouth dropped open instantly, as if she was very confused about why she would receive such a reward!

"Thank you, Teacher Li!"

He took it with both hands and immediately handed it to Wang Xiaohu, saying, "Here you are, Captain."

Ang Lee twitched the corner of his mouth: "."

Wang Xiaohu: "Li Ziming!"

Xiao Zimo: "Here!"

Wang Xiaohu: "Keep the medal your teacher gave you safe!"

Xiao Zimo pouted: "Okay."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaohu pulled Xiao Zimo along and walked towards the group.

The Chopin card on Xiao Zimo's back was already shining brightly under the light.

"Attention all team members, the second game will begin in ten minutes."

The scene was boiling again.

"Please keep quiet, everyone. Now I will explain the second game in detail."

"The second game is the Black and White Key Escape."

Wow!
"Can everyone see this keyboard at my feet?"

"can see!"

"Very good, the black area is the danger zone, and the white area is the safe zone."

The viewers in the live stream were in agony. It sounded like a really interesting game, but they couldn't see the whole thing. Like with your name just now, all they knew was that Group Two came in first place!

Damn it!
"This game will be played in three rounds."

"Each team will send four people to participate in each round."

"Three people were held hostage, and one was the rescuer."

Hostages and rescuers? That sounds exciting!
"We need the referees from each group to step in and act as saviors."

"Hahahaha!"

"Uncle Tang, could you please stand in for me for a moment?"

"Thank you, Teacher Li, for giving me this valuable learning opportunity."

"Hahahaha!"

From group one to group six, each judge came to the center of the hall.

Ang Lee walked up to the six people and said, “Please stand in the white area, yes, in a circle.”

"Alright, your current designations are Savior ABCDEF."

As Ang Lee spoke, he looked at the six teams and said, “When the music starts, Savior A will need to compose a short rhythm based on the beat of the music and sing it out.”

"Next, Savior B needs to first imitate a short section of Savior A's self-composed rhythm, then sing a short section of their own self-composed rhythm, followed by Savior C, and so on."

"When the cycle returns to A, A does not need to create a new rhythm; it only needs to repeat the previous six measures."

[Airplane takes to the skies: Cyclic operation is fine, six bars shouldn't be a problem]

"Notice."

"In the first two rounds, you only need to sing one measure, and in the third round, you need to sing two measures."

Rhythm Relay?

So much fun!

This is even more interesting!

[Biscuit: The third round was a bit too difficult; six people were cycling through twelve sections of rhythm.]

[Zhang Pangzi is not fat: Key point 1: Rhythm memory, Key point 2: Reaction ability]

"Until one of them makes a mistake." "For example, if a mistake is made during the relay of Rescuers D, then one hostage from Group D will be permanently left in the danger zone in this round."

Is it so scary?
"If Terminator E makes no mistakes in two consecutive loops, then one hostage in Group E will have a chance to save himself."

"If the hostage can sing the rhythm of the game in its entirety, he/she can successfully save himself."

Is being a hostage this difficult?
"No punishment will be imposed on the hostages who sing the wrong song. They will return to the danger zone and the relay will continue."

I understand!

"There is no time limit for each round of the game. The game will continue until all three hostages in one group successfully rescue themselves, or all three hostages are permanently left in the danger zone. At that point, the game will proceed directly to the results settlement stage."

Stimulate!

"The scoring method is as follows: for each hostage rescued, the team will receive three points; for each hostage permanently left in the danger zone, the team will lose two points."

"The scores from the final three rounds of the game will be added together, and the team with the highest score will be the winner, with the same reward as the first game."

"As a special reward for this round, the team that wins first place will receive a clue to the third movement of the game."

Clues in the game?

Upon hearing the words "game clues," the mystery fans in the audience were instantly aroused.

Marco: As expected, the last game was related to reasoning.

Viewers in the live stream: It feels like a variety show!
"Do you guys have any more questions?"

Ang Lee looked around. "If there are no problems..."

Ah Liu raised his hand: "Your Honor, if the rescuer never makes a mistake, but the hostage never manages to save himself, isn't that a bug?"

There was an uproar at the scene.

Yup!

Isn't this an infinite loop?

Ang Lee smiled and said, "Why don't you go first and try it out? What if the music gets faster and faster?"

ah!???

[The plane takes off: The faster the music, the faster the rhythm, and the more likely the rescuers are to make mistakes in order to keep up.]

"Team leaders, please come up and draw lots to determine the order of the first round of the game."

"The ranking order in the second round will be based on the scores from the first round, from highest to lowest, and the third round will follow the same order as the second round."

"Group Two has the right to choose its own order of appearance in any round of the game."

As they spoke, the six team captains came to the center of the stage.

Guided by Ang Lee, the six people took turns reaching into the cardboard box and pulling out a ping-pong ball with a number written on it.

Ah Liu chuckled: "Lucky! Sorry guys! I'll take number one."

Car: "Number Two."

Miao Hengrui: "Number Three."

Senior Sister Ji: "Number four."

Wang Xiaohu sighed: "Number five."

Liu Ziqian smiled wryly at his bad luck. If he could draw a higher position, plus their special privilege, he would have a great chance to win first place in this game.

"Number six."

Ang Lee asked Liu Ziqian, "Do you want to use your special privileges in this round?"

Liu Ziqian: "Teacher Li, I need to discuss this with our teammates."

Li An nodded: "Before the first round of the game begins, you need to submit to me the list of players participating in each round. Submit all three rounds at once, understand?"

The children nodded.

Ang Lee then added: "Once this list is finalized, it cannot be changed during the game. Each team member can only participate in the relay game once, and each team member must ensure that they have been a hostage at least once. Do you understand?"

The children said, "We heard you right."

Ang Lee concluded, “Of course you can tell the hostages in your team the rhythm you want to sing now, but you don’t have much time left to plan your moves.”

"The countdown of five minutes has now begun."

A tense atmosphere once again permeated the entire hall.
-
Group 6.

Senior Sister Ji: "Who will play in the third round?"

He drew his sword: "I'll do my best."

As the most well-rounded member of the six groups, Bajian took the initiative to step forward.

Yun Duan: "If we can be in the early rounds in the third round, that would be fine; but if we're last, I'm afraid..."

Mangosteen: "So the key is to get a good ranking in the second round. Actually, we don't have any obvious advantage in this round. I probably couldn't even remember it in one go when I was a hostage in the first two rounds."

Senior Sister Ji: "I'll go in the second round. In the first round, who will continue the relay between Ruby and Yun Duan?"

Ruby: "I'm pretty good at rhythm dictation."

Yun Duan: "Then you take over the game. I'm slow to react on the spot, but I'm good at remembering rhythms. I should be more than enough to be a hostage."

He drew his sword and laughed, "This movement doesn't have any special requirements for us. If we still can't get first place, then we're really in a bad position."

Senior Sister Ji shook her head: "You're being a bit optimistic. You still don't understand these kids enough."

Bamboo: "Anyway, let's all do our best!"

"Correct!"

Yun Duan stretched out a hand, saying, "Let's cheer each other on!"

The five people clasped hands, and a rather domineering "Go for it!" resounded throughout the venue.

Senior Sister Ji picked up her pen and began writing the roster for the match.
-
Five groups.

Wang Xiaohu: "I'll take the first round. I should be able to handle the five sections."

"Our goal in the first round is to achieve a mid-range result. No matter who is the hostage, don't feel pressured. As long as I don't make any mistakes, even if you don't succeed in saving yourselves the first time, you will still have a chance later."

Everyone nodded.

"Can you do it, Zimo, in the second round?"

Li Ziming said seriously, "I'm fine with any round."

Liu Zige laughed: "You're so amazing?"

Li Ziming nodded: "You can test me if you don't believe me."

Wang Xiaohu then sang a section of Liu Xiaojie's rhythm, and Li Ziming listened to it once and easily sang along.

Liu Zige: "Wow! That's amazing!"

Li Ziming asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with that?"

Meng Youxi suddenly spoke up: "I have an idea, let Zimo play the third round."

Tang Xiaoxing pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Xiaohu: "I'll go for the first round. Captain Zimo and Captain Youxi, the three of you will be the hostages. If we want to win, we have to get the best position in the first round."

"You may have overlooked one point. The teacher made it very clear when explaining the rules that the game would end as soon as one team's hostages were all rescued."

Liu Zige: "I understand! That means that if Team B is behind Team A, even if there are no problems in the two areas, the game will end immediately after Team A rescues the third hostage, and Team B will have no chance to rescue the third hostage."

Li Mengchen: "Group A has three more points than Group B."

Tang Xiaoxing: "So I'll take the first round. Even if I'm the fifth in the relay, I have a way to keep the pace on our side. I have a plan."

Wang Xiaohu: "Xiaoxing, you."

Tang Xiaoxing laughed: "We are a team that wants to win the championship again. Captain, you said last year that even games should be taken seriously. I am just playing the game according to the rules."

"Now you all need to memorize a rhythm."

As she spoke, Tang Xiaoxing lowered her voice and lured Wang Xiaohu and the other two closer.
-
Four groups.

Fu Yu: "I'll go first round."

The car hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
-
Three groups.

Ah Liu: "We'll forfeit the third round and play the first two."

Qiao Zhizhi: "People don't necessarily put the strongest players in the last round. Even if they are all concentrated in the first round, we still have the advantage of being first in the first round."

Xiao Jingchen: "Then I'll go for the first round. Captain, you and Zhizhi and Wu Youran can be the hostages for the first round."

Wu Youran: "Yeah! Good luck everyone."

Xiao Jingchen: "Zhizhi, you play the second round. I'll tell you how to play the second round after the first round is over."

All three groups shouted in unison, "Go for it!"
-
Group Two.

Everyone looked at Marco, waiting for the final battle plan.

moment.

Marco let out a light spit. "If we want to achieve a better ranking, would you be willing to adopt a less-than-friendly strategy?"

The two groups were instantly stunned.

DouDou: "Huh? Who are you not very friendly to?"

Marco: "Not very friendly to other groups."

DouDou: "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Su Jingzhi: "This is originally a game of strategy, I think there's no problem with that."

Liu Ziqian: "I also think there's no problem, but Brother Zi, please tell me your plan."

Marco: "Is that so?"
-
Before the group could even discuss their strategy, the five-minute countdown had already ended.

"The curtain rises on the second movement!"
