At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Since its inception, the Giant Buddha statue has never disappointed! yo!

"..."

"It's a shame this guy isn't a rapper."

"I think I'd be pretty good as a comedian."

The audience began to murmur amongst themselves, while Lee Eun-seung laughed and joked on stage, speaking in Korean-accented Chinese with slightly inaccurate pronunciation.

"All right."

While attracting the audience's attention, Kim Chun-hwan adjusted some complex equipment.

Su Che noticed that the effect matrix under his feet seemed a bit off.

One of the blocks is lit up with a red light, which means it is currently in the Mute (silent) phase and has not been turned on.

Moreover, this part is connected in parallel to the integrated matrix, and it exists independently of its main device, which is somewhat concerning.

"It's starting! The first piece is 'Emptiness,' for everyone."

Ang—!

As the first composite sound effect rang out, the Program's atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire audience.

Just moments ago, Li Encheng was laughing and joking, but his expression instantly changed.

Looking down at his hands, his bangs obscuring his face, he began to perform his original piece with an extreme level of rigor.

Almost from the first 10 seconds of the sound, Su Che knew he had met a tough opponent.

"A really good blend."

Backstage, watching the two perform on the screen, he felt immense pressure.

"The two of them seem to have created the effect of a four-person team."

"Yeah, there's a base tone, and he made his own piano accompaniment, electronic drums, bass, and even that Kim Chun-hwan can play the keyboard. Did you see that? After the chorus, he puts the piano behind his back and plays the keyboard with his hands. He's a dual-skill guy."

"..."

Everyone knows that the "Buddha" team's songs are mostly original, and they have long since moved from the cover song level to the original song team.

He composes, arranges, mixes, and even makes his own music videos.

This level of completion is what every team dreams of.

In terms of experience, "Seven Colors" is far inferior.

In terms of stage effects, the arrangement of "Buddha" is even better.

In terms of playing technique, Su Che felt suppressed.

But it's a misperception.

After all, each musician has different strengths, and Su Che has never had any clear concept of his own playing technique.

I just blindly practiced the piano from a young age.

To surpass someone, I practiced the piano incessantly.

That's it.

His teammates see his skill level as Schrödinger's cat—unpredictable and highly variable.

For example, An Qing believes that his piano skills will always be captivating, no matter when you listen to them.

Yuan Xiao believed that his master was the best in the world, unparalleled and unmatched by anyone!

Gu Zhi thought he should put down his zither and come inside to talk about something else.

Yu tide believes that with him around, winning trophies is a sure thing, practically guaranteed.

Lin Xiao thought he looked very handsome when he played the piano, and that she could use her hands to... cough um eight times.

But in Su Che's own eyes, he was like an ant at the foot of Mount Tai.

Looking up, the summit is not visible.

Only layers of white clouds remained, shrouded in mist.

The two masters on the stage are certainly among these layers of mist.

"Ugh."

Su Che sighed softly.

The pressure is overwhelming.

When will I be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the world and make everyone around me feel absolutely safe?

When will I be able to pierce the heavens, become the heavens themselves, and suppress the once supreme heavens beneath my feet?

Su Che has great ambitions.

But within this ambition, there is also a contradictory mix of deep-seated inferiority.

I used to think that I would become stronger after acquiring Miya, but now I realize that I can indeed become stronger, but it takes time to mature.

It's good to be influenced by what you see and hear, but it was Miya who was influenced by what she saw and heard...

After Miya arrived at her home, she liked to sleep everywhere.

Suggestions like "Let's practice the piano together!" are becoming increasingly rare.

Whenever they spend time together, she always clings to him, on his legs, stomach, arms, and abdomen...

Like a sleeping cat, it clings to every part of your body, impossible to shake off.

How can you even talk about practicing the piano?

【well. 】

After listening to Li Encheng and the other two finish the three songs, Su Che felt that his team's subsequent three songs might not be able to compete with theirs.

The internal strife is becoming increasingly severe.

The women noticed his withdrawn nature, exchanged glances, and tried to offer some advice.

At times like these, it's the little devils who have the most ideas.

Suddenly, he made a suggestion:

"Is that so? After the last performance, we discussed some unpleasant topics, which resulted in none of us going out for team building activities."

I think after the performance, no matter what the outcome is, we can go out and have fun together for the whole night, right?

The kind where I don't go home. What do you guys think?

An Qing: "!"

Yuan Xiao: "This is good, this is good!"

Gu Zhi: "I think it's fine."

Yu tide: "It's not that it's impossible."

Su Che was stunned for a moment, then glared at Lin Xiao with a look that said, "I'm going to kill you," and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "What do you want to do?"

"Hey, let's build some team chemistry. Su Che, you're not worried about something, or maybe you have something to hide that makes you afraid to spend the night with us, are you?"

"........."

Su Che was speechless and couldn't object for a moment.

Fortunately, this distracted most of his attention.

I don't really care about the outcome of tonight's game.

After all, the victory or defeat on stage is only a superficial victory or defeat.

Even if I win

In the latter half of the night, surrounded by a group of cats,

I am destined to be a "loser" in another sense as well...

……

……

Chapter 172 Yes, it's the child I'm carrying.

The second round of performances has begun.

in the dark.

Looking at Su Che on the stage, feeling the delicate touch of his hands on the strings, Lu Shi showed a hint of satisfaction.

"The child's development is indeed fine."

"Academic approaches are not the only solution in academia. I agree."

He smiled, feeling very gratified.

at the same time,

Su Che looked down at the audience on the stage and felt a sense of pressure.

Although I couldn't focus on any one person's face, I always felt an invisible aura constantly rushing towards me.

Similar to spiritual pressure.

It's similar to the overwhelming aura emanating from a powerful being.

I'm not the only one who feels this way; Lee Eun-seung and Kim Chun-hwan must have felt the same way too.

After all, the tension on their faces was no joke, and it was easy for onlookers to see.

"Forget it, why bother with all that?"

"Just do your best."

"Just play to your existing level, that's enough."

Now that things have come to this, Su Che has let go of his burdens and is facing all eyes.
