Collapse, the Self-cultivation of Shura Field Experts

"Salary, and some reserve funds."

Nian Lun handed Guanxing a stack of banknotes and a small and cute shoulder bag.

The main body of the shoulder bag is a feather fan, with excellent workmanship and looks very durable.

"Because everything at home is so well-organized, it wouldn't be appropriate to just stay here. Apart from the money you used to buy clothes, I'll give you an advance of half a month's salary—of course, the rest of the month is also included. There's also a reserve fund for when the family needs to buy necessities, which can be used directly."

A total of 5000 yuan was withdrawn from the bank card. 1500 yuan was the advance I gave to Guanxing after deducting the cost of buying clothes. The other 3500 yuan was a reserve fund for the family.

The deposit for the new song has been received, and since Nian Lun has some spare money, he thinks he should do this.

The little change I had before could only buy breakfast. As for other needs at home, it was really troublesome to apply for funds from Nianlun.

Nian Lun opened the small bag with the feather fan pattern, which contained some change. He put the five thousand yuan in it and handed it to Guanxing.

"Then I'll take care of you from now on."

"You're quite good at using the abacus. The beads are almost popping out."

"It's true that I was wrong to act first and ask for permission later...but..."

Without waiting for Nian Lun to reflect, Guan Xing was not pretentious. He directly accepted the bag and then held it in his palm, examining the small bag with the feather fan pattern.

"I'll take it. The salary... never mind, I'll keep it for you." Guanxing interrupted himself, then quickly continued, "Do I need to submit an application in advance to buy things?"

"No need if it's less than a thousand."

Hearing Nian Lun's quick answer, Guan Xing couldn't help but tease, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just run away with the bag?"

"After all, didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me? I believe you."

It is natural for Nian Lun to choose to believe in stargazing and the moon.

Putting intuition aside, if he really had an agenda, stealing Nian Lun's harmonica on the first day would have been enough.

Why wait until Nian Lun to make slow money?

Besides, few people use cash these days. Instead of waiting for Nian Lun to get cash, it’s better to find a way to get the payment password!

Guanxing carried a small bag on her back and walked in a graceful arc very naturally. The skirt of her sailor uniform also floated up in a circle and then fell down very naturally.

——Of course, the absolute domain is still the absolute domain.

A smile finally appeared on Guanxing's originally calm face, and one could sense a hint of excitement in her tone.

"You know what I mean~"

...

Chapter 38: Aponia's Big Pillow and the Little Cushion for Stargazing

Guanxing and Nianlun had no habit of stopping by the roadside, so they followed the navigation and Nianlun's memory and arrived at their destination in no time.

——On the east side of Canghai City, there is an old-fashioned musical instrument store without a sign.

In the bustling and colorful Canghai City, its simple storefront is truly a unique sight.

The shop is very big, but there is really no decoration on the outside.

From the outside, it looks like a store that has just been vacated. Only when you get closer and look through the windows can you see the various musical instruments on display inside.

But in fact, only those who have connections in Canghai City can know about this place and know that it is a Lehang.

“From complex to simple, perhaps only the owner of this shop can do it.”

Standing in front of the store, I was really impressed after looking at the stars.

You have to know that back in the Huang Empire, many families wanted to put their own names on their own bowls and chopsticks to ensure safety.

Fortunately, the portrait painted in his own palace at that time was not circulated, otherwise the stargazer might have become an alternative version of Zhong Kui - a door god or something like that.

Nian Lun didn't know what Guanxing was thinking, he just nodded in agreement.

The two of them pushed the door open and walked in.

Nian Lun was actually a little worried. After all, this level of music business was no longer for the purpose of making money. Now that he was composing music for Bronya's game, he didn't know what the price would be from the store owner.

The doorbell rang, and as I walked in, a variety of musical instruments came into view.

The not-so-spacious space was filled with clarinet cases and saxophone straps. Polished pianos with glossy paint were neatly placed near the door, all of them were famous brands from big manufacturers.

If there's one thing all the instruments here have in common...

That is, they have no brand names and no price tags.

As he was feeling emotional, a pale blue butterfly suddenly flashed through Nian Lun's eyes.

Nian Lun followed the beam of light, but the entire room became dim. It seemed as if the space was infinitely stretched and plunged into endless silence.

"You are here, guests who are both familiar and unfamiliar."

The voice seemed to hold a magical power, and everything that had just happened seemed an illusion. Nian Lun's vision returned to the simple music shop.

Guanxing had unknowingly pulled Nian Lun's hand, and the cool feeling made Nian Lun "wake up".

A ray of sunlight timely shone from behind Nian Lun onto the shadow over there, allowing the person inside to be seen clearly.

"...?!"

But before Nian Lun could say anything, Guanxing jumped up with his eyes narrowed and covered Nian Lun's eyes.

This is the second time, but this time we are watching the stars, while the last time we were watching the moon.

They seemed to have an instinctive reaction to something, and their first reaction was to cover Nian Lun's eyes.

The stargazers were hostile to the indescribable size. The impressive figure under the moon was nothing compared to this one.

As for stargazing, it’s the difference between a small cushion and a big, plump pillow.

"Please let go of your hand. He looks very uncomfortable like this."

She walked out of the shadows with steady steps. She wore a nun's uniform with black and white as the main colors, but it did not give people any sense of oppression. Instead, it made people feel close to her.

Her long light-colored hair fluttered casually, her hands were placed in front of her body, and her long legs under the skirt showed her presence.

"……you."

Guanxing let go of Nian Lun's eyes as if she was possessed, but in the end she failed to protect the thing she least wanted Nian Lun to see.

But normal men are bound to fall into depravity, but who is Nian Lun?

He stood up straight, looked Aponya in the eye, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, she was just scared. I'm here to rent a musical instrument. May I ask who you are?"

Aponya shook her head slightly: "I'm just here to help look after the store. You can call me Aponya."

"Then what about the previous owner?"

"He has left the shop to a new owner, but if you need a musical instrument, just follow the rules."

"rule?"

Nian Lun was stunned and really didn't know what the rules were.

When he first got this harmonica, he didn't have any special memories of it, so he just used it in a daze for many years.

And stargazing became a little nervous.

You must know that women who talk to Nian Lun peacefully will eventually join the Shura Field army.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to embarrass you. It's just that the current owner of this shop has a 'rule' that says 'as long as the instrument can produce a sound you like, you can give it to him.'" Aponya pointed at Nian Lun's shoulder bag. "It's the same as when you got this harmonica."

Nian Lun took out the harmonica in confusion. It lay quietly in the palm of his hand, and it seemed that there was nothing special about it except its appearance.

but……

Now there seems to be doubt about Nian Lun's memory.

Because he only knew this Lehang in his memory, and couldn't even remember the face of the so-called "former owner".

"Please don't worry and relax."

Aponia's voice sent ripples through Nian Lun's mind, and Guanxing directly blocked her way: "Stop using such a strange way of speaking."

"This is the path he should take, and I am just a station on his journey."

Aponia spoke as she quietly walked towards Nian Lun. And Guanxing indeed didn't sense any hostility. Even the seemingly magical words she had spoken earlier didn't hold the power she was familiar with.

"Although you look energetic, don't you really need to rest for a while?"

Just when Guanxing was lost in thought, she inadvertently passed by Guanxing.

"Well……"

Aponiya gently embraced Nian Lun's head and leaned it against her broad chest, then gently stroked him with a tender expression.

Aponia's fingers penetrated Nian Lun's hair, and the warm touch made Nian Lun feel very comfortable. He even wanted to close his eyes and enjoy the tranquility of the moment.

At this moment, Nian Lun suddenly opened his eyes wide!

"Ah, this seems to be the script! Miss Aponya, your acting is so real that I almost got fooled!"

Aponiya reluctantly let go of Nian Lun and gently applauded Nian Lun for his insight. "Sir, you really have good taste. I didn't expect you've read her script."

"After all, it's the famous "Paradise of the Afterlife", everyone knows something about it." Nian Lun's gloom was swept away, he thought he had encountered some supernatural event!

After all, the atmosphere of the room and the situation just now were really too incredible.

It's a good thing he remembered this, because the déjà vu of this line is really hard to ignore.

Guanxing was furious when he saw this scene. He thought he had encountered some emergency related to "over there", but it turned out to be just a sudden outburst of acting.

But she was still in a bad mood, so she said with a sullen face: "Even if it's just a play, there's no need to do it for real with a stranger, right?"

"I'm very sorry if this has caused you any discomfort." Aponya bowed slightly towards the stargazing. "Besides, with your participation, my friend's script seems to have become even more realistic. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my friend."

After hearing Aponya's words, Guanxing had not yet recovered from his shock, but Nian Lun quickly thought of the message contained in this sentence.

Nian Lun asked cautiously, "I wonder who your friend is?"

Aponya chuckled, made a silencing gesture with her fingers, and spoke gently.

"As you wish~"

...

Chapter 39: Aponia is in action!

Oh wow.

Nian Lun didn't expect that he would actually rent musical instruments at the official venue of the competition. He wondered if this would count as private communication?

But he didn't think much of it, because getting on stage was about skill. Renting instruments only added a certain amount of impact, but if he really wanted to win acclaim, it would ultimately depend on Nian Lun's own skills.

Nian Lun just figured it out, but he still felt like he had forgotten something.

It was the same feeling of being close yet distant as before, as if I was about to touch something, but the next moment that desire disappeared.

But that doesn't seem to matter at the moment. What matters now is renting the piano.

Nian Lun noticed that Guanxing and Aponya seemed to be exchanging glances, and their "happy" look made him feel a little relieved.

He doesn't want to be in a Shura field wherever he goes.

You have to know that at home, when shopping, in the company... almost as long as there are two women present, there will be a big fight.

Perhaps noticing Nian Lun's sudden enlightenment, Aponya said softly, "If there are any instruments you need, please take a look. After all, you know more about this than I do."

"……Why do you say that?"

Nian Lun found it hard to imagine that even the so-called "shopkeeper" at Lehang would humbly feel that the customers who came here knew more than her.

You have to know that anyone who dares to open a shop, even if he doesn’t have to reach Nian Lun’s level of playing skills, at least must treat musical instruments as friends.

No music shop owner would want his instruments to be bought by someone with no ears!

"Your harmonica playing is excellent. Actually, I am your fan." Aponiya said calmly, and it seemed that she had also seen Nian Lun's video.

"you flatter me."
