Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

In the past few days, Lu Li also did a quick search on the historical winners of the Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize. The winning works in recent years are "Tower of Sympathy", "The Joy of the World", and "In Order to Eat".

Lu Li had read all of these works, and after reading them, he used his literary skills to judge that the level of these works was roughly between the advanced and grandmaster levels. Some of them were far superior to the advanced level at first glance, but there were also some works that Lu Li judged to be at the peak of the advanced level.

After all, literary works do have their pros and cons, and talented literary masters are not resource monsters that refresh at fixed locations. It is good enough if one appears occasionally.

There are two Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prizes awarded every year, and two Naoki Prizes of the same level awarded every year. If you add in the works produced by other medium-level awards, even if you exclude some authors who have won multiple awards, there are still many winners every year. It is definitely impossible to say that Japan can stably produce several people who have reached the level of literary masters every year, so some or even most of the winners are at the advanced level.

Advanced, to put it simply, is the ultimate level that ordinary people can reach through training. Although this statement sounds very ordinary, it is a level that everyone can reach.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that being able to achieve something through training does not mean that it can be achieved easily. In fact, in literature, if an ordinary person wants to reach a high level, if he has no talent at all, he will have to immerse himself in this field for at least decades and it will take an epiphany one day before he can make a breakthrough.

So for Lu Li today, with his advanced literary skills, he is actually qualified to compete for the Naoki Prize or the Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize.

Although he might be crushed by a sudden genius literary master when participating in the competition, and some old masters who have been in the advanced field for a long time might also defeat him, but these two awards are given four times a year, as long as he participates more, he will eventually win the award, and it can be said that winning this kind of award only once is enough.

Lu Li thought that since he had the qualifications, all that was left was to keep trying. Once he won the award, his future life would be guaranteed, and things like his sister's tuition fees would be easily solved.

And once they no longer have to worry about money, then... then Lu Li would want Lu Lian to enjoy life better.

Lu Li didn't believe the nonsense that going to the library was for relaxation.

What can you do in the library? Of course, you can only study.

So why did I study? To get into the University of Tokyo.

Why did I go to the University of Tokyo? To find a good job and make more money in the future.

After all, it’s all for a few taels of silver!

Lu Li only hated his lack of financial resources. If he had money, given the situation in this world, his sister would be happily dragging a set of equipment worth millions of yen to play in a band with a few sisters in a comfortable private training room.

Not knowing what Lu Li was thinking, Lu Lian asked curiously, "Brother, do you want me to do something?"

Lu Li shook his head: "I don't want you to do anything, but I want you to figure out what to do. Studying hard to get into Tokyo University is certainly important, but... forget it."

Lu Li felt that no matter how much he said, it would be useless. Lu Lian looked docile, but she was actually very stubborn inside. If he wanted to convince her, he had to wait until he came up with the results.

In the end, Lu Li's thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Lian, believe me, our lives will definitely get better in the future."

"Yes, I understand, Brother."

Glancing at his sister who didn't understand at all, Lu Li smiled helplessly and said, "I'm going out first."

"Okay, Brother, have a safe journey!"

After going out, Lu Li casually bought some food to fill his stomach, and then he walked directly towards Ruoye Mu's house.

The distance between the Ruoye family and Lu Li's family is quite far. Even someone as strong as Lu Li would have to walk for a long time just by taking the No. 11 bus. Considering the agreed time, Lu Li still gritted his teeth and took a taxi.

The starting price of a taxi in Tokyo is 660 yen. Due to the distance, when they finally arrived at the destination, Lu Li paid the price of nearly two crepes with tears in his eyes.

Seeing the price, Lu Li could comfort himself. Tokyo is also Beijing, so it is normal that the things used by Mr. Beijing are more expensive.

"Alas. Taking a taxi is still the best in my great China."

"The starting fare is only a few yuan, and the kilometer rate is cheap too. As long as I don't encounter unscrupulous drivers taking detours, the price of this trip is enough for me to take seven or eight trips before I cross over."

Walking to a slightly remote location at the door of the big house, Lu Li picked up his phone and sent a message to Ruoye Mu. This was what he and Ruoye Mu had agreed on before. Because they had to keep it a secret from the two nosy old men in Ruoye's family, the two of them had to communicate before having a duet music party.

[Lu Li: Mu, I’m at your door.]

After sending the message, Lu Li waited quietly for Ruo Yemu's reply.

At the same time, in a room in Wakaba's house...

The little princess of the Wakaba family is in a good mood today.

Standing in front of the mirror, the little princess looked at herself carefully.

Her golden eyes were as calm as water, her long light green hair was without a single split end or roughness, her upper body was a white short-sleeved home jacket, her lower body was a light-colored skirt that reached her knees, and her feet were wearing a pair of white cotton socks.

Well, although generally speaking you don't need to wear socks at home, but...

But she has to wear it today!

After confirming that his outfit was fine, Ruo Yemu looked away from the mirror with satisfaction.

There is not a single flaw, and it can even be said to be fully prepared and ready to go at any time.

well.

Her own preparations were complete, and then the next step was...

Ruoye Mu looked towards a corner of the room. After seeing a lump-shaped object in the corner, Ruoye Mu slowly walked over.

"Dumpling, dumpling."

When he got closer to the ball-like object, Ruo Yemu squatted down and gently called the ball-like object's name.

"Meow~~~"

Hearing its owner calling it, the ball-shaped object immediately meowed at Ruoye Mu with energy. Seeing that his cat was so energetic and cute, Ruoye Mu couldn't help but smile.

She got this cat after successfully fighting with her parents. Her parents, who used to not allow her to keep pets, now allow her to keep a cat in her bedroom at her insistence. This is all because of Lu Li.

But as she laughed, Ruo Yemu started to worry again, because no matter how she trained her cat, it seemed that it could not do a backflip.

So today, she might have to perform the backflip for Lu Li. She wasn't sure if she could do it well, or if the cat ears she was wearing would fall off...

"Tuanzi, tell me, why can't you do a backflip? I've trained you well. Why can't you do a backflip like other cats?"

"Meow meow meow!"

The fat cat cried out helplessly.

My little master, I'm a Garfield cat. Do you know Garfield? If you expect a Garfield cat to do a backflip, why don't you go up to the sky?!

Chapter 4: Mu's Guidance (K)

The lights were on in the room, and the rhythmic chirping of cicadas could be heard outside the window.

Although it was only nine o'clock in the morning and the temperature in the room was not very high, the air conditioner was running at full speed and would definitely not stop working.

Sitting in the room enjoying the excellent cooling effect, Lu Li was thinking about a very important thing at this moment, that is, why refrigerators run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year as long as they are turned on, but some people would want to let the air conditioner rest after just a few hours.

I understand. What’s being rested is not the air conditioner, but the exaggerated and shocking electricity bill under the highest energy consumption.

Playing with the cat in his hand, which could only be described as a lump, Lu Li was wondering how the cat would perform a backflip for him next.

“It’s called Tuanzi.”

Seeing that Lu Li seemed to like his cat very much, Ruo Yemu sat quietly beside Lu Li and introduced the cat to Lu Li: "Tuanzi is a Garfield cat. I bought it with my pocket money."

Lu Li nodded and replied, "Very cute."

Not caring about the unhappy expression on the cat's face, Lu Li rubbed the Garfield cat named Tuanzi hard.

Very moist.

The cat's fur feels smoother than the human hair on his head, and it has a fresh fragrance. I guess the shower gel he uses is quite expensive.

"Lu Li, do you like it?" Ruo Yemu asked.

"it's OK."

No one will hate cats as long as they are well taken care of, even the stubborn elders in the family.

Lu Li remembered clearly that before he traveled through time, his family had a cat that he insisted on buying. He had begged his parents to buy it for him when he was eight years old. His parents kept saying it was a trouble when he bought it. But after only a few months of buying it, Lu Li's parents cared about the cat more than Lu Li himself.

Thinking of the little thing at home, Lu Li's expression softened.

Although he has lost his soul, some memories still exist. Family ties are like blood, thicker than water. Parents and family are some things that cannot be cut off by a soul. This is why he took Lu Lian in.

Home is home.

Seeing Lu Li's expression, Ruo Yemu thought for a moment and then said, "If you like... Lu Li, I'll give the dumpling to you, okay?"

"!"

Hearing this, Lu Li was filled with awe. Little Mutou was indeed worthy of being called Master Jing. He could give away a red tabby Exotic Shorthair cat of this quality without hesitation.

Garfield is actually a red tabby exotic shorthair cat.

This kind of cat is a standard aristocratic cat played by wealthy dog ​​owners. Lu Li didn't know much about it after the time travel, but before the time travel, the price of a red tabby exotic shorthair cat, as long as it didn't look too ugly, basically started at 6,000 Tianchao coins. If the fur color was slightly better, it would cost five figures. As for the high-end product in his hand with the purest color, Lu Li estimated that the minimum price would be less than 20,000.

If 20,000 is converted into Japanese yen, it is almost 400,000 yen.

Ruoye Laodeng, look at the daughter you raised, you gave her 400,000 yen just like that, why don't you do something about it!

If we don’t take care of this, if they send a cat today, I can’t imagine what they will send tomorrow!

"I don't have a cat, and Tuanzi definitely likes you better."

Lu Li smiled after taking a look at the cat in his arms that couldn't help but pounce on Ruo Yemu. He couldn't afford to raise this breed, and this cat had a rebellious nature. It had been rubbed in his hands for less than five minutes and it was thinking about going back to the mistress. It was obvious that it was not a pure good cat.

But this is normal. If Lu Li had to choose between a rich and beautiful female host and a poor and poor male host, he would choose the former.

"Really?" Ruoye Mu looked at the dumpling in front of him.

"Yeah, if you don't believe me, just look."

As Lu Li spoke, he pretended to let go of his hand, and the moment he let go, the ball in his arms immediately returned to Ruoye Mu's side and rubbed Ruoye Mu's heels.

"Dumpling..."

Holding Tuanzi on his lap, Ruoye Mu stared at her and said, "Do you like me?"

"Meow meow meow!"

Garfield's cat named Tuanzi immediately meowed. It was hard to say whether he liked it or not, but Tuanzi definitely understood that if he didn't show some emotion, he would probably have to live a hard life with Lu Li.

The cat is just lazy, but that doesn't mean it is stupid. Any hesitation for a second at this time would be disrespectful to its life.

"If you like it, why don't you train hard?"

"Meow?!"

My little master, I said, I am Garfield, Garfield!

Did you know that Garfield can’t do a backflip?

As if she understood what Tuanzi meant, a hint of disappointment appeared on Ruo Yemu's face. However, when she thought that if Tuanzi couldn't do a backflip, the person doing the backflip would automatically become herself, this disappointment immediately turned into joy.

What if Lu Li falls in love with her after this? !

Thinking about it this way, it seems like a good thing that Tuanzi can't do a backflip.

"Training? What training?" Lu Li was a little curious.

Ruoye Mu naturally wouldn't say it was a backflip, so she replied, "It was a guitar."

"Guitar? You're training to play guitar?!"

Lu Li was shocked.

Has Jingye's cat evolved to the point where it can play guitar?!

Wait, Masaka?!

Lu Li glanced at Tuanzi.

This isn't heterochromia?

"No, I mean, we should go practice playing the guitar." Wakaba Mu replied calmly.

Although she really wanted to stay with Lu Li for a while longer, Ruo Yemu still hadn't forgotten why she had asked Lu Li to come here today. She wanted to teach Lu Li how to play guitar.

Teaching guitar is an excuse. If the teaching is good, there may be another chance next time. But if the teaching is not good and Lu Li feels that it is better to find someone else to learn from here, then everything will be in vain.

Ruo Yemu could still tell the difference between one meal being full and another.

"Yeah, that's right. Thank you for your help then."

Hearing Ruoye Mu talking about guitar, Lu Li also became serious. He came here today because he really wanted to learn guitar from Mu.

As for why, it was because the system had already helped him identify Ruoye Mu's guitar level. According to the system's rating, Ruoye Mu's current guitar level was at a very orthodox advanced level, and it was still rising.

According to the system, skills can be improved through real-life learning, so if Lu Li can really learn guitar seriously from Ruo Ye Mu, then there is a high probability that Lu Li, who already has intermediate music proficiency skills, will be able to learn from Ruo Ye Mu and then comprehend advanced guitar skill branches.

As for advanced skills, you should have them if you can get them. No matter whether they are useful or not, why not have them for free?

Besides, the guitar skill might not be useless to Lu Li. The cat on the dog seller's side is not online yet. If he masters the advanced level, he can help tune and teach the little pink-haired boy, so that the little pink-haired boy won't be exposed by bragging about a few small tunes.

"Lu Li, come with me..."

After a while, Ruoye Mu brought Lu Li to the basement of Ruoye's house.
