Cultivation Shura Field

Song Xingye subconsciously tried to break free, but failed. Then she suddenly realized why she wanted to escape from Feifei's arms - because she felt guilty, because although what she said just now was all true, it omitted too many important facts.

But Tang Lingfei just hugged her and said happily, "You are so kind, Xiaoye, that you even created an opportunity for me to let him give me a gift! Thank you so much!"

"Haha, don't be polite to me..."

Song Xingye forced a smile, feeling a slight pang in his conscience.

----

It was already dark when Xu Zhe knocked on the door of the two girls.

It was Tang Lingfei who opened the door.

This girl has always been unable to hide her thoughts. As soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't help asking, "Did you buy something for me?"

"Little Leaf told you everything?"

Xu Zhe said this and handed over a cardboard box.

Tang Lingfei took the box and opened it immediately, and then she saw a delicate and beautiful glass cup. Unlike the opaque mug she used before, the new cup was completely transparent and had no handle, but the cup body was covered with embossed patterns, so it would not slip when held normally. There was also a circle of golden patterns on the outside of the bottom of the cup, which looked particularly unique.

Xu Zhe said: "I guess you might like this, how about it?"

“Thank you, I really like it!”

Tang Lingfei really wanted to do something to express her joy, but Song Xingye was busy in the kitchen not far away, so anything too intimate was obviously not allowed.

So the girl bent down slightly, pushed her head forward, and rubbed it against the boy's chest.

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What is this? Is this a puppy acting like a spoiled child?"

Tang Lingfei quickly said, "Shh, keep your voice down. If Xiao Ye hears it, she will be unhappy!"

Xu Zhe thought that might not be the case. But of course he would not say anything extra, he just reached out and gently stroked the girl's head, stroking her fur.

Tang Lingfei suddenly came to her senses, took two steps back to avoid his hand, and said with a smile: "Come in and change your slippers. Let me tell you, today is the first time that Xiao Ye Zi cooked for us. I smelled the food just now, and her cooking may not be worse than yours!"

Xu Zhe raised his eyebrows: "Is this your first time cooking?"

Tang Lingfei laughed and said, "Hehe, actually this isn't the first time, but you weren't here the last few times she made it, so unfortunately, I'm the only one who got to eat the dish that Xiao Ye made for the first time!"

Xu Zhe: "..."

The girl's smug expression was so obvious that Xu Zhe almost couldn't hold it in. Fortunately, he pinched his thigh secretly and didn't reveal any flaws in his expression.

Song Xingye's voice floated over from the kitchen: "Xu Zhe is here, right? Wait a moment, I'm going to make the last dish, it will be ready soon."

Tang Lingfei quickly responded: "Okay, come on, Xiao Ye!"

Then she pulled Xu Zhe to sit on the sofa, put the glass on her lap, and looked at it carefully.

The girl suddenly asked, "How much is this cup?"

Xu Zhe: “More than 20.”

Tang Lingfei looked up at him and said, "So expensive?"

Xu Zhe touched the tip of his nose and said, "I don't think it's expensive."

Tang Lingfei: "Oh, I almost forgot, you are a big boss, it must not be expensive for you. But for me, it is a lot. Anyway, thank you, I will find a way to repay you."

Compared to the salary he gave to Shen Lan and the lunch he had treated Song Xingye to, Xu Zhe really thought that the twenty-plus yuan was negligible. If he hadn't been worried that something too expensive would scare her, Xu Zhe would have even thought about buying her a really high-end cup.

So he said sincerely, "You don't have to repay me for this."

The girl was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Xu Zhe..."

"what happened?"

“It feels like you’re always helping me.”

"Uh, don't worry about these little things."

"You are fine..."

The girl's big watery eyes stared at him, making him feel increasingly heavy but also a little happy.

Who wouldn’t be confused when seeing such a cute girl?

At this moment, Song Xingye poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Braised prawns, do you like it spicy or salty?"

Tang Lingfei turned her head away like a guilty thief, looked out the window and said, "I can do anything!"

Xu Zhe: "I can do that, too."

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Then I'll make the taste a little more moderate."

267. Chapter 266 265 The Last Piece of the Puzzle

267.

Less than a week after the online contract was finalized, the young man Walker from Northern Europe delivered the finished product.

Unfortunately, Xu Zhe called back immediately and asked him to revise it.

Three days later, Walker came up with a second version.

Xu Zhe's reply was not as good as the first version, so he continued to revise it.

Three days later, Walker handed in his third version. This time, Xu Zhe did not send it back for revisions, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied.

“There is always a gap with the original version…”

It was another Saturday night, and Xu Zhe was sitting in front of the computer, sighing like this.

He knew that Walker was probably 16 or 17 years old when he created that hit single, and now he is only 14 years old, younger than Xu Zhe. Fortunately, although Walker is young and immature now, he can really help. At least, according to his requirements, the song is made to look good.

In the previous life, the first song that became popular was "Fade", a typical electronic music without vocals. Later, based on this electronic music, a female version of "Faded" was adapted. Before that, his requests to Walker were all based on the first version.

The initial idea was simple. Just follow the creative trajectory of the previous life, and at most give it a little impetus. But now it seems that I took it for granted.

So he replied: [You take a rest first, I will try some new melodies and then give them to you to produce. ]

Walker: [I'm sorry, I may not have satisfied you. I just want to know, is the compensation we agreed on in advance still valid? I don't mean to strike, I just want to confirm.]

Although there were no symbols expressing emotions, Xu Zhe could see the other party's uneasiness just by looking at the text.

He replied: [The compensation will not change. ]

Walker: [You are so generous, thank you! I will definitely work harder next time! ]

Xu Zhe certainly didn't intend to deduct the other party's reward. Thirty thousand Mi Yuan was really nothing to him now, but if he could use it to attract a promising talent, it would be a great deal.

Then he called someone next door.

"Hey, Feifei, are you free now? Yes, I'm at home too. Can you come over now? I have something very important to talk to you about."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhe got up and opened the door.

He walked from the study to the door of the room. As soon as he turned the doorknob and pulled it inside, he saw the girl standing stiffly at the door.

Tang Lingfei was standing there at this time, with her right hand raised, obviously about to knock on the door.

Xu Zhe: "You came really quickly."

Tang Lingfei raised her little face: "That's right, when I said 'right away', I really meant 'right away'."

Xu Zhe: "Okay, come in, little pony, I'll talk to you about music."

Tang Lingfei was very happy that he took the initiative to look for her. But she was very confused by the casual title he threw out: "Who is the pony?"

"It's just a joke, don't mind it."

Xu Zhe just suddenly felt that this girl ran over when she called out, a bit like the beloved horse of the protagonist in the game. However, the difference was that Xu Zhe did not ride a horse like in the game.

He took the girl into the study and moved a chair in front of the computer monitor.

Then he sat on another chair, picked up the mouse, and opened the game music folder.

"These are all semi-finished products. You can listen to them and tell me what you think."

Xu Zhe clicks play.

The speaker next to the monitor started to sound, but Tang Lingfei couldn't help but frowned slightly as she listened.

She muttered, "Does it have anything to do with the clips I gave you? It's changed so much..."

Xu Zhe: "Well, it's like a re-creation. And I also found someone to produce electronic music, so the difference is even greater. These three pieces of music are three different versions."

Tang Lingfei nodded, stopped talking, and listened silently.

Xu Zhe stood up and closed the window to avoid the noise outside. Then he sat back in his chair and stared at the girl who was listening attentively.

He had seen many people say that serious boys were the most attractive. But now he found that this was true for both men and women.

Tang Lingfei always gave him the image of a lively girl next door, and of course, in fact, she was indeed a girl next door. However, since she was a child, this girl seemed to be a little reckless, and words like talent and charm were never associated with her.

But at this moment, the girl supported her chin with one hand and tapped the table lightly with her index finger with the other hand. Her serious look gave Xu Zhe a slightly different feeling.

After listening to all three versions, Tang Lingfei commented: "The first version is very natural, but a bit ordinary. The second version is not ordinary, but not natural at all. It feels a bit..."

Xu Zhe: “Harsh?”

Tang Lingfei nodded. "Yes, that's the wrong feeling. The second version had too much of a sense of disjunction and sounded too weird. The third version is much better. I think it's good enough to be used as the background music for the game."

Xu Zhe sighed: "It's enough, but I always feel that since we're here, why don't we keep improving?"

Tang Lingfei: "How do you want to achieve excellence?"

Xu Zhe: "Let's compose the music. I'll mark the parts that can be used and the parts that can't be used, and then you can try to fill in the syllables."

Tang Lingfei thought for a moment and asked, "You don't know what this piece of music should sound like, but you know what it shouldn't sound like, is that what you mean?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Yes, I can rule out wrong answers."

Even if he had no musical talent, at least he knew what the original song sounded like. The greater the difference from the original song in his memory, the further away from the correct answer he would naturally be.

After trying many ways to copy the song and failing, he could only resort to the most clumsy method of elimination. Fortunately, the young original author had helped him narrow down the scope of what needed to be eliminated.

He used music editing software to open the third version and extracted the main melody. The horizontal lines of different heights symbolized the ups and downs of the tone along the time axis.

"These, these, and this paragraph, plus these two paragraphs. These are the ones that need to be changed now. Leave it to you."

Tang Lingfei stared at the screen and rubbed her hands together: "Okay, there is a mission tonight."

Xu Zhe was a little surprised: "Can it be done in one night?"

Tang Lingfei: "You've already finished your game, and the only thing left is the music, right? Then I can't hold you back. Tonight, watch how I finish it!"

Although he felt that this girl always had a bad habit of randomly inserting flags, he certainly would not discourage her enthusiasm at this time. So after saying "Come on", he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Song Huaifeng:

[I need to revise the contract I drafted for Walker because I may have another composer.]

Although Tang Lingfei didn't mention any remuneration at all, Xu Zhe didn't intend to let her work for nothing.

----

268. Chapter 267 266 Feifei's First Experience

268.

Tang Lingfei indeed underestimated the difficulty of this task.

To be more precise, she underestimated Xu Zhe's requirements. Unexpectedly, he would spend a long time on a short paragraph, repeatedly proposing revisions. If it wasn't good once, it wasn't good twice, so he would do it three, four, five times...

As the night deepened, there was a knock on the door outside.

Xu Zhe went over to open the door.

Tang Lingfei yawned quietly and let out a sigh of relief.

"Is Feifei here?" Song Xingye asked at the door.

Xu Zhe: "Yes, we are composing music, do you want to come and see?"

Song Xingye: "Will I disturb you?"

Xu Zhe: "It's okay, come in."
