Get the perfect music system at the start

[Life has its limits, the arena awaits, a life-or-death contract, what do you gain by winning? A cold laugh, who owns the world? What does it matter if you're number one?]

Xu Fan naturally recognized it as Jay Chou's "Huo Yuanjia". If he remembered correctly, it was from the new album released in 06. So it had already been released.

Moreover, it has only been online for a short time, yet it has become so popular.

It seems that Jay Chou is outstanding no matter which world he's in.

Hearing these songs, Zhao Feiyang shook his head, sat down and shouted, "It's really not as good, it's really useless, it's really not suitable, it's time to give up."

Xu Fan comforted her, saying, "You've been exposed to music since you were little and you love music, so how can you say you're not suited for it?"

Zhao Feiyang called the boss over, opened a few bottles, and started chugging them down his throat.

It was actually quite heartbreaking to see them like that.

Xu Fan could sense that his actions were merely a way to mask his inner sadness and helplessness.

Zhao Feiyang was really not a good drinker; before he could finish a bottle, his face was already flushed.

With Jay Chou's new song playing in his ears, Zhao Feiyang drank and praised Jay Chou.

He then helplessly recounted the judges' somewhat sarcastic remarks from the day before taking a large gulp of wine to express his sadness.

He said, "After singing for so many years, just one sentence saying it's not suitable means I have to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Fan asked, "After singing for so many years, you're going to give up just because it's not suitable?"

Zhao Feiyang took another swig of wine and said, "I can't think of any other way."

Xu Fan looked at the drunken Zhao Feiyang, grabbed his hand as he tried to drink more, and asked seriously, "Did Jay Chou write his own new song?"

Zhao Feiyang shook his head and said, "I know that Qu Diefang wrote it."

Xu Fan said, "I'll give you a song, we'll record it, and try releasing it online. There are countless paths in music, it's not like you have to participate in any talent shows."

Zhao Feiyang, who had been struggling to hold the bottle, stopped exerting force and stared at Xu Fan with starry eyes, asking, "Are you drunk?"

A drunk person asks a sober person, "Are you drunk?"

This shows that this matter itself must be something very incredible.

Zhao Feiyang knew, of course, that his friend in front of him had always been insecure because of his family background, but he still said such a thing at this moment.

And even after he asked that question, Xu Fan still looked at him very seriously.

Even though he knew he was a little drunk, he was still deeply moved.

He didn't know what song Xu Fan would write, nor did he know what the future held.

At this moment, he was either drunk, or comforted by Xu Fan's seemingly useless but touching and appreciated words, or perhaps it was his last bit of stubbornness towards music.

He nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

Zhao Feiyang was still drinking, while Xu Fan was thinking about which song to use.

After a moment, Xu Fan had an idea. He grabbed Zhao Feiyang's hand, shook his head, and said, "To protect your voice, you're not allowed to drink alcohol."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang, seeing his good brother's expression, nodded very seriously.

Then... she fainted.

Xu Fan: "......"

That night, Xu Fan completely integrated all his memories.

Those fragments of memory deepened his belief in helping Zhao Feiyang, because deep in his memory, Zhao Feiyang had helped him wholeheartedly on more than one occasion.

Those little things, even if they are just memories, are still worth remembering because they are so profound.

The next day the sun shone brightly. After getting up, Xu Fan woke Zhao Feiyang, who was still dreaming.

Looking at that familiar face, Xu Fan asked very seriously, "What is the most memorable thing for you?"

To be honest, anyone would be a little confused if they were woken up early in the morning and asked such a question.

Zhao Feiyang stared at Xu Fan, somewhat bewildered, and asked, "What?"

Xu Fan didn't think much of it and said directly, "We agreed last night to give myself one last chance."

Zhao Feiyang was taken aback, and as he suddenly realized what was happening, he also recalled some fragments of the story.

He frowned, shook his still sleepy head, and said, "You were drunk last night, that was all drunken talk."

Xu Fan looked at Zhao Feiyang and said very seriously, "I am serious."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Feiyang suddenly sat up straight, his thoughts seemingly lost in a story. After a long silence, he said, "I don't know how deep the impression is, but I remember that I once loved a girl. When I met her, the messaging app wasn't called QQ; it was called OICQ. Back then, I still loved music as much as I do now, but fate told me that I had nothing to do with music. Later..."

Xu Fan listened very attentively, but was slightly shocked.

So that story was true...

Perhaps, if it weren't for my appearance, that song might have appeared in this world in the near future.

He listened attentively to the story, and when it was finished, Xu Fan picked up a piece of paper and began to write.

Zhao Feiyang had no idea what Xu Fan was doing, assuming he had thought of something that needed to be written down. But when he saw the piece of paper Xu Fan handed him, he was stunned.

His gaze fell on the words on the paper, and he was instantly captivated by the lyrics, word by word.

He was a little drunk last night and was ready to go crazy with his buddies.

Or rather, he knew it was his good brother comforting him, so today he was prepared to forget everything and start anew.

But the lyrics before him made his music-loving soul tremble.

He tightened his grip on the paper, his eyes fixed on it, as if afraid it might suddenly fly away.

Last night I had a dream where we went back to holding hands. The disappointment I felt upon waking was indescribable.

"I opened OICQ, and the chat history stopped in late autumn of last year. The final plea to stay was left unspoken."

The words leaped into view, and Zhao Feiyang read them once and then again.

The solitary words stand out vividly, and the heart that loved music but was about to give it up is now stirring with a sense of restlessness.

He looked up at Xu Fan, then lowered his head to continue reading the lyrics.

Those words were not fancy or ornate.

It's just a series of declarative sentences, like telling a story.

But he really loved it, even though at this moment he still didn't think the song would become a hit; he just thought it was a good song.

Good and fire are two different concepts.

He read it again, then stared at Xu Fan and asked, "Did you write this?"

Xu Fan stared at him and said, "Here you go."

Zhao Feiyang clutched the paper tightly, as if it were a very precious treasure, keeping his eyes fixed on it as if he were afraid of losing it.

He murmured, "A year ago, when she left, I promised to sing her a song, but I couldn't write it. I never expected you to write it for me."

Xu Fan had just finished listening to that story.

He knew that in his heart, he felt a great deal of guilt and love for that girl.

The most important reason Xu Fan wrote this song, "Gray Avatar," is that people understood his extraordinary talent and the love he had always kept hidden deep in his heart.

Xu Fan looked at the lyrics in his hand and continued, "She used to be very supportive of me. I think I must have liked her, but she left, and her profile picture eventually turned gray."

At this point, Zhao Feiyang suddenly stared at Xu Fan and said very seriously, "Thank you."

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "The past is the past. You should look forward."

Zhao Feiyang nodded and said, "Let's go record it. I like this song and I want to sing it. No matter whether I sing in the future or not, I must sing this song."

After saying that, Zhao Feiyang went out first. Xu Fan watched his back and thought to himself: This song will definitely surprise you after it is released online. I hope you will be glad you made this decision today.

Xu Fan knew that Zhao Feiyang still didn't believe the song would become a hit, because Zhao Feiyang was unaware of the musical trends of this era.

However, Xu Fan clearly understood that Zhao Feiyang was destined to become a rising superstar in the future.

He believed that whether in that world or this world, his singing would be loved by many. In other words, how could he let his good brother, who loved music so much, disappear from the music scene?

In a recording studio near the school, Jay Chou's "Huo Yuanjia" was still playing, but this did not hinder Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang's pursuit of music.

The recording studio owner personally greeted us, and all kinds of musical instruments and equipment were readily available.

Of course, the price will not be too low.

But if Zhao Feiyang wants to record it, he must do it with the utmost seriousness; this is his most basic requirement for music.

Fortunately, Xu Fan doesn't just write lyrics when he writes songs.

Because of the system, he carefully wrote down all the sheet music and musical instruments on paper.

The boss didn't waste any words; after all, it's only right to get paid to do the work.

Just looking at the lyrics and the composition, he, as the recording studio owner, was still quite surprised.

Although the young man with glasses had recorded songs before, compared to him, today's song is likely to be a real hit.

It's hard to explain what makes this song so unique. Some of the lyrics are catchy, but every word is poignant and every line is moving. More importantly, the song seems to be telling a story.

Recording, capturing sound, mixing—the most challenging part is recording human voices.

In the recording studio, Zhao Feiyang kept trying to find his rhythm, and Xu Fan kept assisting him, but they still made mistakes again and again.

Zhao Feiyang did not give up, and his familiarity with the song increased until, more than two hours later, a beautiful voice finally finished singing.

The applause from Xu Fan and his boss echoed through the room as the recording of "Gray Avatar" came to an end.

===Chapter 955 Shocking===

The future is unpredictable, and the future world is also unknowable.

The system told Xu Fan that the world he was in was different and unique. The system also told Xu Fan that besides the world he was in, there were many other worlds blooming in other places. In short, besides this world, there were many other worlds flourishing in other places, or rather, there were countless worlds like the one he was in, where different people were singing different songs and doing different things.

When everything returns to normal, or rather, back to what it was before, perhaps this is another world that has branched out from another world. To understand these things, to know these things, is difficult and dangerous. So, the system asked the host at the end whether he could accept such difficulties and challenges. This was a test for Xu Fan. Xu Fan knew very well that this was a test from the system. So, when he heard that, he agreed without any other thoughts. He clearly understood that as long as this matter could be completely replicated or completely resolved, he would definitely have different and very good gains in the future.

It's astonishing that even if this world is fraught with danger, even if people from other worlds come to this world to find him, because he is, in a sense, the chosen one, and because he possesses the system, he is the only one who has it.

Using this analogy is somewhat inappropriate, but it's the truth. According to the system, almost all of the previous speed-based characters have perished. So, he is now the only speed-based character, and there is only one system—Perfect Music Student. This is the key point. Perhaps, or rather, there isn't only one system, Perfect Music Student, but at least after the Perfect Music Student's upgrade, his thinking theorem is the most powerful. If he is powerful enough, he understands the principle of avoiding punishment. As long as his system is powerful enough, and the people of the other world know that he possesses a system, he will inevitably face strong resistance and pursuit from that world because they want to take the system from him. So, at this moment, he is in great danger. It was only when he carefully considered and thought about the differences between this world and the other world that he realized that all of this had already been answered.

In a sense, from the sudden appearance of a certain girl to the sudden appearance of those five mysterious people, which almost caused her to leave this world, all of this was telling her that this world and another world had begun to connect. What was even more certain was that An Lanyue's father, An Kun, had told her before leaving this world, and even revealed a piece of information: that her father might not have truly passed away, but was living very comfortably in another world. Of course, it was also possible that he was not living very well in another world, but in any case, it proved one thing: that her father had not died but was living very well in another world.

Or rather, living in another world.
