I play wind instruments in Kansai

The dismissal time at Zhimu Academy is 3 PM.

Loquat-colored uniforms gradually appeared on the slope in front of Wakayama Station, and the Nankai Electric Railway tracks stretched parallel to the Kinokawa River.

Students walked in twos and threes in the wind, and many of their backpack straps slipped down to their elbows.

See you tomorrow.

A girl waved to her friends in a cute Kansai accent, her voice blending into the rhythm of the train.

Stepping out of the station, the entire city was bathed in sunlight like gold leaf, and the crowds passing through Saigasaki Street resembled a dispersing tide.

There are many Japanese confectionery shops on both sides of the street, and the aroma of baking is particularly tempting. Miyamine Nozomi likes to smell it but doesn't like to eat it.

A young girl walked alone ahead, appearing calm and taciturn. Passersby said she was as cute as a doll.

She was the girl who sat next to him in class.

"Where's Kato-kun?" The sudden question struck Miyamine Nozomi's ears.

Miyamine glanced at Kirishima Ryuka beside her. Their homes were not far apart, only a few dozen meters apart.

After school, she took the initiative to ask me to walk home together, so I had no reason to refuse, and I also had a lot of questions I wanted to ask her.

"Obi".

"That's great. Although the oboe is difficult, there's less competition, unlike the trumpet where there are so many players, which is a real problem for me."

Kirishima Ruka raised the corners of her mouth, and her every word and action was full of elegance and poise, completely unlike a "gloomy" girl who had stayed at home for years without ever going out.

"So you're an alt account too."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"You asked me to come with you right away, and I still find that inexplicable."

Kirishima Ruka gripped the shoulder straps of her backpack with both hands, lowered her head slightly, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, it seems I was too hasty and didn't prepare for many things."

Her manners were always so impeccable.

"The senior students seem to really like you," Gong Lingwang asked casually.

"Yeah, the senior students are all very nice. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."

Kirishima Ruka looked up at the tangerine-colored sky, her delicate face softening with a gentle expression, and said...

"From now on, we will all move towards the same goal, and we will be a community with a shared destiny standing together in the halls of Utsunomiya and Hiroshima HBG."

So this talk of a community of shared future has been going on for so long?

Miyamine Nozomi switched the backpack containing textbooks to her right shoulder:

Why did you choose to join the club? What happened?

Kirishima Ruka's dark brown loafers shimmered slightly in the sunlight as she smiled and said:

"After hearing my request, Senior Sister Gu Hua immediately agreed to help me. I am very grateful to her. Things went very smoothly, and the other senior sisters had no objections."

"Didn't you say the brass band wasn't doing well?" Miyamine asked.

"Hmm...that's what they say."

Kirishima Ruka looked uneasy.

"But I think the senior students have the charm to handle it, and I choose to trust them with time."

"After all, your ensemble performance comes later than the wind instrument performance, so you'll have time to correct any mistakes."

Feeling as if Miyamune had seen through her, Kirishima Ruka's lips tightened into a thin line, and she suddenly remembered something and said:

"Oh, you joined too? How's it going?"

"I've joined."

"They must be amazed by your flute playing; I can imagine the scene," Kirishima Ruka said with a smile.

"That was truly surprising."

Gongling Wangjin might pretend to be nonchalant and mutter to himself.

Although my flute skills don't reach the national gold standard, I can't possibly play that badly in front of Senior Gu Hua.

If you play poorly in the Shenxu Wind Ensemble, you're likely to be singled out for individual practice by enthusiastic upperclassmen, making it difficult not to improve.

But he had talked to Mizuno Souji before, and the brass band was not doing well, so there was no need for him to stand out.

For Miyamine Nozomi, a brass band without the ability to reach the national stage is not something he needs to fight for.

"What if the wind band doesn't perform well?"

"It's one thing for the brass band to be in poor form, but it's another thing to find people who can work together."

Kirishima Ruka smiled shyly as she said this.

"Miyatane is an exception. Since I know you better, I assumed you would stay with me. I hope you don't mind."

Gong Lingwang observed her reaction, and she did not look away.

"If you really want to achieve your goal, you can definitely do it, right?"

"Hmm...that's true." Kirishima Ruka replied vaguely.

"Why not do that?" Miyamine Nozomi was very curious, or rather, she was wasting the power that God had given her.

Kirishima Ruka's brow furrowed slightly, and the bow scarf at her chest was blown askew by the wind.

"You're right. On a positive note, I can unite everyone and move towards a common goal. On the other hand, if I don't want to, I can make everyone disobey and live a life of inaction."

"Are you the queen ant?"

Gong Lingwang could only say this with a slight smile, because he was also a little afraid of having such a person around him.

"That's really going too far. I think I'm much prettier than the queen ant."

"Then what are we waiting for? Use your magical charm to bring us all together!"

"But that's just my will. My essence is deprivation. I've stolen everyone's truth, and I owe a lot of debts that I can't repay."

Kirishima Ruka remained silent for a moment, as if afraid of disturbing something; each word that escaped her lips seemed to fall.

"Those people could have suffered or encountered surprises because of their choices, but because of me, a void has appeared."

Gong Lingwang suddenly fell silent; she was right.

Think about it carefully, what surprises might have happened if I hadn't turned back on my bicycle and had gone to the party instead?

"Does this have anything to do with your parents?"

By the time he came to his senses, those words had already come out of Miyamune Nozomi's mouth.

"......"

Kirishima Ruka's eyes were fixed on the ground not far away, but she wasn't looking at anything specific, nor did she speak.

"Sorry, never mind."

The two walked along the street.

Why did you decide to play the instrument?

"When there's nothing to do, people always have to find something to do, right? Even just breathing is fine," Kirishima Ruka said with a smile.

"Such a simple reason."

"What about you, Gongling?"

My family thinks I should have a hobby.

Has it become an interest of yours?

Gongling Wang simply shrugged.

"Then I'll get home first." Kirishima Ruka stopped in her tracks.

Before me was a small, light blue villa, with a floor-to-ceiling window visible on the second floor.

"Although my grandma doesn't work, my family is quite wealthy," she said with a smile.

Gongling Wang did not reply; she was probably referring to her parents' inheritance.

After saying goodbye, he continued walking forward. Just as Kirishima Ruka had said, the distance between the two houses was only about fifty meters.

I had just stood at my doorstep when a new market change popped up before my eyes.

[Market Update: Ai Kato, up 10%]

[Unusual Activity Explained: The purchase of a new oboe and music theory textbooks has greatly increased his enthusiasm]

Current stock price: 16.5

hiss!

A red line is stretched straight up; who wouldn't be envious?

Gong Lingwang felt a burning sensation in his body and mind, and he was somewhat worried.

He worried that if he didn't enter the market now, he would miss out on a growth stock like Kato Ai and miss out on a lot of wealth.

Unlocking the door with my fingerprint, I found my father's shoes lying in the entryway. I quickly put on my slippers and rushed to my father's room.

Father Miyamune Yasuhide sat at his desk, clicking away on his laptop with a mouse.

What kind of design drawings are these? Miyamine Wang couldn't understand them.

"Dad, there's something I want to tell you."

"What?" Miyamune Yasuhide rested his chin on his hand, staring intently at the screen.

Gong Lingwang rested his hands on the table, turning slightly to the side, and said, "Could you give me 500,000?"

"Five hundred thousand?" Miyamune Yasuhide's eyes widened. "What do you need so much money for?"

Combining this with his son's earlier inquiry about the stock market that morning, he immediately frowned and continued:

"You want to invest in stocks?"

"No, how could that be?" Miyamine Nozomi said calmly. "I joined the school's brass band, but there are no more school instruments, so I have to buy them myself."

"Don't you have a flute?"

"I've used that flute for several years, and it's all broken inside."

He learned that lying requires composure.

"Who told you not to wash properly?"

"That's for maintenance. Anyway, I don't have any flutes anymore. All the flutes in the wind instrument section have been taken."

Gongling Wang dared to ask for so much because he felt that his family was relatively well-off, after all, they drove a Mercedes worth more than eight million yen and their quality of life was not low.

Miyamine Yasuhide clasped his hands together, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Can you promise me you'll take good care of it? I know a flute can last for more than twenty years, but your first one will only last a few years."

"Of course!" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Gong Lingwang's eyes widened. "I'll definitely take good care of myself!"

"Okay, how much do good flutes usually cost?"

"I plan to buy a flute with a full sterling silver body, E-cut, perforated, and B-tail."

"Is 500,000 enough?"

Ok?

Can I add more?

"Uh... barely enough, I'll add a little more myself."

"How much do you have? I'll give you 800,000; if you're going to buy something, buy a decent one."

My father always believed that if he was going to buy something, he should buy something good that would last for several years.

The iPhone I bought back then is still in use after six years. My father said that if the battery life is not good, we should replace the battery, and then it will be like a new phone again.

"Alright," Gong Lingwang said reluctantly, "Don't tell Mom."

"I know for sure. Oh, and there's one more thing," said Miyamune Yasuhide, crossing his legs. "I need you to participate in the competition."

"what?"

"If you're not going to participate in the competition, what's the point of using such a good flute?"

"OK."

Now that things have come to this, Gongling Wang has no choice but to agree.

"Go out, I'll get to work."

"You're busy."

As soon as he returned to his room, Miyamine Nozomi received money from his father.

So many zeros, a full eight hundred thousand yen, he had never seen so much before.

Gong Lingwang lay in bed. It was impossible not to buy musical instruments, but it was also impossible to actually buy them. He was going to invest all that money in girls and get a return on his investment.

Moreover, judging from their current situation, it seems that they will continue to rise for some time to come and will not decline.

Senior Gu Hua said there will be a long-awaited club meeting tomorrow, so this must be good news!

If nothing unexpected happens, their prices will definitely rise by then.

Gong Lingwang held his phone high and first checked out musical instrument rental websites.

The shortest rental period for a flute is three months, with a monthly rent of 10,000 yen and a deposit of 100,000 yen.

Ignoring the deposit, a monthly rent of 10,000 yen means he needs to make at least a 12% profit per month.

As a novice, Miyamune Nozomi opened the market again, and Kato Ai's surge of ten points gave him a lot of confidence.

It doesn't seem too difficult. Although he earned less today, Liu Mujie still helped him earn five points.

Based on this calculation, wouldn't it be a whopping 150 points in a month? Even if it falls, it shouldn't lose much.

Take a gamble!

Anyway, even if I lose, I'll just get a beating and a scolding from my father, but it'll be a different story if I win.

Let's do it!

Gongling Wang first went to a rental website and rented a pure silver flute for three months.

After all that trouble, of the 800,000 yen his father left him, 670,000 yen remained.

I opened the trading board and carefully examined the boards of Kirishima Ryuka, Yanagi Kiyotomi, Kato Ai, and others.

Although he had the upperclassmen's charts, he was completely unfamiliar with them and it was difficult for him to have any influence.

You can only choose from these three people.

[Buy Targets: Kirishima Ryuka, Yanagi Kiyotomi, Kato Ai]

[Buy Price: 89.8, 58.1, 16.5]

[Total purchases: 89800 yen, 58100 yen, 495000 yen]

When the system's confirmation screen popped up, Gong Lingwang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to buy.

He heavily invested in 30,000 shares of Kato Ai because her value was relatively low, and she seemed to really want the spotlight, so she shouldn't be a bad catch.

next second.

[Market Update: Ai Kato, up 8%]

[Analysis of the unusual activity: New online courses purchased, family support, high spirits, diligent study, and a drive to break through limitations]

[Cumulative Profit: 8%, 39600 yen]

Ha, that easy? Just bought in, and in the blink of an eye, I have nearly 40,000?

When someone earns nearly 40,000 yuan in the blink of an eye by getting something for nothing, covering the rental costs, they never think it's luck; it just becomes the norm in their life.

Gong Lingwang sat bolt upright in bed, resting his hand on his chin, and recounted his insights gained from the system over the past two days:

"Could it be... that I'm a trading genius? That I can achieve financial freedom within the next two years?"

I sat cross-legged and opened the store interface with gratitude for Kato Ai.

[Current Profit Points: 13%]

[Sensitive Body: 5% Points Profit]

[Triangle Instrument Expertise: 3% Points Profit]

[Body Enhancement: 1% Points Profit]

There were only these three items in the store, and Miyamine Nozomi couldn't find the option to exchange points for money.

I have 13 points now, let's buy a body enhancement item and cash it out.

After all, the position of the wind band club is awkward. It can't be considered a sports club, but sometimes it's more tiring than a sports club. People with poor lung capacity and physical fitness simply can't play well.

Miyamine Nozomi's physical fitness has always been a major weakness. Who wouldn't want to have a healthy and perfect body without training?

On this point, he exchanged for the [Body Enhancement] without any hesitation.

I thought my body would burst out with dazzling golden light, or my hair would stand on end, and my fighting power would surge wildly.

But in reality, Miyamine Nozomi didn't feel any change at all.

[Already redeemed: Body Enhancement]

[Remaining Profit Points: 12%]

If he were proficient in the flute, he would definitely buy it, but he doesn't play the triangle.

Never mind, I have enough points, I'll just buy it.

Gong Lingwang pondered for a moment before focusing on the [Sensitive Body], which required a profit of five points.

Just how sensitive can it be? Why so much?

Driven by curiosity and without any impure thoughts, Miyamune bought it.

[Already redeemed: Sensitive body]

[Remaining Profit Points: 4%]

no response.

Gong Lingwang frowned. No matter how he pinched himself, it was no different from before.

Upon opening my profile page, I noticed an arm muscle icon in my inventory, and another icon that was a strange pink button.

It seems to be something that was purchased, but the triangle iron is not present.

Click.

Please specify the user.

Ok?

Gong Lingwang raised his eyebrows.

Does that mean that, apart from musical instrument skills, everything else can be transferred to someone else?
