Chapter 78 The Accomplished Piano Master
When Lu Xuan left Las Vegas, he did not give any instructions to his second apprentice Ekman, leaving a faint sentence in his knowledge, "Let me find me when I need me."
Lu Xuan believed that with the ability of Ekman, the old fox, the gambling world in North and South America would soon be completely included in his hands.
At this stage, Lu Xuan does not want to interfere with Ekman's plan. In fact, the most important point is that Lu Xuan, who has always been accustomed to being alone, still does not want too many things to restrain himself.
In addition to the nominal master and apprentice, the connection between Lu Xuan and Eckman is the "hidden killing energy of heaven and earth" that he poured into Eckman's body.
As for other aspects, the master and apprentice are not prepared to have much intersection. While Ekman's efforts to establish Lu Xuan's hope for gambling empire, Lu Xuan has to complete the goal of the S-level mission guest alone.
Qiao Qiao unexpectedly did not fly to Cherbourg, a small seaside town in France with Lu Xuan, but first arrived at Paris, a city full of legend and mystery.
"Paris is an art capital. Although we are only staying here for three days, I hope you can bring some artist temperament and be able to play the piano well within three days. After all, you have to go to a noble school as a piano teacher." Qiao Qiao, who has always liked to tie a ponytail, came to Paris and drifted her black hair. Now she looks more pure and quiet.
To describe Lu Xuan’s world two hundred years ago, a unique noun, it is "literary and artistic young woman". Now Qiao Qiao looks like the kind of beauty who likes to hold the book door and hides in the library to read quietly.
In the small piano room that Qiao Qiao had rented for three days, there were two mechanical pianos side by side. In the 2200-year world, mechanical pianos have basically been replaced by electronic pianos. After all, the reaction, speed of playing keys, and the rich and diverse tone of mechanical pianos are all far from that of electronic pianos.
But some truly top piano enthusiasts, or artists, still insist on using mechanical pianos.
"Artists all believe that the true sound of nature is something that digital and electronic sound cannot be simulated."
At this moment, Qiao Qiao, who was sitting in front of a piano, had long and straight black hair as loose as a waterfall. She was wearing a silk dress with a pure white suspender and a smooth black velvet satin tied around her waist. The simple combination of black and white made Qiao Qiao exude an elegant and pure atmosphere.
Lu Xuan, beside another piano, was always in a light blue sports suit. He kept moving back and forth around the piano, carefully looking at the structure of the mechanical piano.
"Lu Xuan. Have you played the piano before?" Qiao Qiao's slender and white fingers fell on the black and white keys.
"No. But my family invited a piano teacher for me. When she played the ground, I would do physical exercises such as crazy leaning forward and sit-ups. The teacher insisted on taking three classes and then quit." Lu Xuan sat stiffly in front of the piano, his whole body was out of place with the piano.
"That's right. Although I really want to hire a piano teacher for you, even the slightly qualified piano teachers in Paris are expensive. Alas, you really should have accepted the golden card field given to you by your apprentice Ekman." This is the thirteenth time that Jojo has turned the topic to the topic, and he has not accepted the golden card of Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan has become accustomed to money, and Qiao Qiao is obsessed with money, silently, and he did not refute it. He likes to be alone, and he is never used to having too much involvement with others. Lu Xuan just keeps this reason for refusing gold cards in his heart.
"When I was in the casino, I also saw you. The speed of getting started with gambling skills instantly changed from a rookie who knew nothing to a gambling expert."
"Um."
"The skills in the world are actually the same. With the agility of your hands, I have sufficient reason to think that the piano will not defeat you." Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly, "So, out of the principle of getting the best interests with the least effort, I will take responsibility for your piano enlightenment teacher."
"Okay." Lu Xuan had no objection.
"As the saying goes, throwing bricks and attracting jade. When I was a child, I had the title of a genius piano girl. I believe that through my teachings, you can be better than the blue."
"Can you demonstrate a song?" Lu Xuan interrupted Qiao Qiao's endless talk.
"Of course there is no problem. I will let you see for free what the soul of a genius piano girl is playing." Qiao Qiao said in a full posture. "Now erect your ears and listen to the 'Chopin-Lullaby' that gave me the 'Harvest Happy Valley' girl group to play the title."
As Qiao Qiao's flexible ten slender fingers beat lightly between the black and white keys, a burst of cheerful and smooth piano sound filled the small piano room.
Lu Xuan listened expressionlessly.
"How is it?" After playing the song, Qiao Qiao looked proud of her face.
"It's very ugly." Lu Xuan said lightly.
"What? What do you, a layman, say?" Qiao Qiao blushed.
"It's very ugly." Lu Xuan's sentence actually did not deliberately belittle Qiao Qiao. After all, when he was a child, his parents hired him as an international performer.
Although he did not learn to play with the piano teacher, listening to the music in his ears gave him a piano standard in his heart.
Qiao Qiao, the level of the "Happyland Primary School" women's piano champion in Kowloon District, Hong Kong, naturally cannot reach Lu Xuan's skills.
"Learning piano is not a good habit. If you have no entry skills, what qualifications do you have to say to me? If you want to point fingers at me, it's okay. If you have the affair, just play a song that is not bad." Qiao Qiao was angry and embarrassed.
"Let me try it." Lu Xuan, who was sitting in front of the piano, reached out and touched the piano keys quickly, and a string of neat and sharp piano sounded quickly.
"You're also called playing the piano?" Qiao Qiao couldn't help laughing.
"Well, I want to confirm the difference in the sound of each key." Lu Xuan put his big hands on the keys, "Now it's the beginning..."
Qiao Qiao, who was originally going to laugh at Lu Xuan, immediately took back all the mean lines after the sound of the piano, sat quietly in front of his piano, and listened to Lu Xuan's piano with all his concentration.
It was unknown how long it took for Qiao Qiao to wake up from her intoxication by Lu Xuan's voice.
"Jojo, what's wrong with you?"
"I never thought that Beethoven's to Alice could play so well." Qiao Qiao sighed quietly.
"I don't know what this song is called, because my piano teacher has played it three times, so I wrote it down." Lu Xuan said indifferently.
Qiao Qiao really didn't expect that this indifferent boy could play such a wonderful piano piece, and what's even more terrifying was that he was actually intoxicated by it.
She didn't know that Lu Xuan's song "To Alice" was completely imitated by the world's top pianists. Although it cannot be said that "both in form and spirit", except for real piano masters and top music critics, this similar song "To Alice" can definitely pass.
"In terms of piano performance, I think you don't have too many problems anymore, but it's a bit too hasty to just play one song, so let's do a test." A hint of cunning flashed in Qiao Qiao's eyes, "Now I connect my laptop to the piano, and you will challenge a small game. There are ten songs in this small game. After each song, the computer will give a score, and whether it passes. If you can pass ten songs in a row, I will be considered as a teacher."
"I'll try it." Lu Xuan nodded.
For ten songs, each song is much more difficult than the previous one, and the limited time is getting shorter and shorter. It took Lu Xuan about two hours to finish the ten songs.
When Lu Xuan finished playing the last song "Rachmaninov's Third Piano Concerto", the computer screen displayed "Finish 001".
Qiao Qiao screamed suddenly.
Lu Xuan, confused, looked at the ecstatic Qiao Qiao, "What's wrong?"
"La San is one of the most difficult piano music in the world. In order to play it, many people even reach the point of schizophrenia, you can only read the score once and then complete it." Qiao Qiao said excitedly.
"Let me three?"
"The Rahmanipai Astronomy Network Piano Challenge Competition, starting a week ago, countless piano elites around the world are challenging the 'Super Computer' as the referee's 'Ten Levels of Destiny'. It took you only two hours to complete it."
"Um."
"The bonus is one million US dollars, and I did not choose the wrong partner this time." Qiao Qiao said with a sweet smile.
Lu Xuan didn't know that at this time, the entire online piano industry was shocked by him. The annual "World Online Piano Challenge Competition" has been held for three consecutive years, with ten days each year limited to challenge day, but due to the perverted high difficulty, no one can complete it in three years.
Although this challenge is mainly about selecting newcomers, because it is an online competition, some successful pianists also secretly tried this "high-difficulty" competition, and they all returned in a miserable way.
Lu Xuan would never have thought that he had just completed the test of the mini-game, but he set off a storm in the "online piano world". He, an anonymous challenger, was even known as the last hope of the piano world.
