I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 6 I Love You Until Death
"Hello, we have both the Moju and Empire Odin headphones in stock. This player and these multi-unit hybrid earbuds are also our flagship pairings that have sold the most this month.

Some customers have indeed reported to us the problems of insufficient low frequency and harsh ultra-high frequency. You can try this pure copper wire from Laura Song, which can effectively improve the problems of insufficient low frequency and high frequency stimulation.

Do you want a 3.5 or a 4.4?"

[Odin, JJ Lin uses a customized version of Odin]

3.5mm is the regular headphone jack. 4.4mm is the balanced port that Sony has been promoting. The balanced port has separate left and right channels for audio output.

"Try them all."

"Please wait."

Soon, the teller found two Laura Song single crystal copper headphone cables suitable for Odin and placed them in front of Bai Chou in a friendly manner.

Bai Chou replaced the wire with pure copper wire and listened again. The effect was immediate. The problems of slightly irritating ultra-high frequencies and insufficient low frequencies were effectively solved.

"Moju, Odin, and these two headphone cables, let's count them together and give you a discount."

Bai Chou likes the listening experience of both 3.5mm and 4.4mm. The former has a better overall feeling for listening to pop music, while the latter has a larger sound field. Each has its own strengths.

What to do? We must take them all.

Adults don't make choices? No, adults often have to make more difficult choices than children. The only people who don't have to make choices are the rich.

The teller took out a calculator and began to calculate: "The price of Moju is 17999 yuan, the price of Odin is 28299 yuan, and the price of Laura Song headphone cable is 22149 yuan each.

The total price is 90595. I can give you a 9.5% discount and give you some small gifts. After rounding off, it will be 8. Are you paying by credit card?"

"Your discount is really too small." Bai Chou muttered.

Earphones + upgrade cable, earphones + player, especially flagship and super flagship products, will have higher profit margins than entry-level products, and buying them together will often result in relatively large discounts.

It's only over 4,000 yuan cheaper, so there's obviously room for bargaining.

"Forget it, just give me the POS machine. I'm too lazy to bargain.

The player, headphones, and the 4.4 cable don’t need to be wrapped, but please pack the rest for me.”

Bai Chou took out his bank card and the two tellers started to get busy.

A teller helped Bai Chou swipe his card and sign the bill, put away the prototype and trial headphones on the bar, took out the memory card on which Bai Chou had saved more than a thousand songs, and held it carefully in one hand.

Another clerk took out a shopping bag from the back of the warehouse, along with the player, headphones, and headphone cable that Bai Chou wanted, and helped Bai Chou unpack them...

Shan Meng pursed her lips and sat silently aside, looking at Bai Chou and the busy clerk without much interest, feeling particularly depressed.

I was sitting right next to him, but it felt like we were in two different worlds. I spent over 80,000 yuan just to listen to music, and bought a few headphones, a player, and two cables...

I took back the bank card and stuffed the packaging box, extra headphone cables, as well as the free headphone covers, memory cards, player leather cases and other miscellaneous items into the shopping bag.

As usual, he hung the headphone cable around his neck, and two gorgeous headphone cavities with panels worth 3 yuan hung on the side of Bai Chou's chest.

Bai Chou turned his head and noticed that Shan Meng looked a little strange: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Nothing, I just feel a little bored suddenly. Let's go back quickly."

Shan Meng gave a reluctant smile, his whole demeanor returning to the slightly timid feeling he had when he first met Bai Chou in the morning. Bai Chou sighed inwardly, there were some things he understood.

Bai Chou is handsome, tall, and an art student studying music. Throughout high school, he was often approached by different girls. He understood some things very well and even developed a screening mechanism.

He felt that he and Shan Meng were really not suitable for each other, at least Shan Meng had not reached the final round of his screening mechanism.

First of all, because of his dark history, he doesn’t have a strong “feeling” for Shan Meng. He is the kind of person who cares a lot about “feelings”.

Who wouldn't like a girl who was the most beautiful girl in the whole school? But that was all.

The current situation is also good.

Some girls like to have fun and enjoy themselves, and they prefer to find boyfriends with better financial status. Some girls are more sensitive, and they have a sense of inferiority within their self-esteem, and they are afraid of being looked down upon by others, so they don't want to find a partner with a huge gap in financial status.

Shan Meng belongs to the latter.

Bai Chou's consumption concept made her feel a lot of pressure. Just to listen to good music, she spent more than 3 yuan on headphones and MP players, which are unimaginable to ordinary people.

She no longer wanted to, or rather, she didn't dare to, continue to develop a deeper relationship with Bai Chou. Their different consumption concepts were a big problem.

Reason told Bai Chou that this was fine, as they were not the same kind of people. From now on, Shan Meng would be her good student, and she could be her own rich second generation, enjoying herself and having fun.

But Bai Chou, who vaguely sensed Dan Meng's inner thoughts, still couldn't help feeling lost.

That good girl whom you like a little but not too much may have to make a real decision and stop pestering you.

You clearly don't want to talk to the other person, but the other person really wants to quit but is reluctant to do so. How fucking shameless!

Some, but not much, conscience still restrained Bai Chou, and he did not say anything that might imply retention, nor did he do anything that might imply a hint.

The headphones were bought, and both of us had something on our minds, so there was no need to continue strolling around Qinhuai District. We took a taxi and went back to school.

Shan Meng still took out his mobile phone, opened the map and kept looking at the navigation. Bai Chou still wore headphones, but did not squint.

I tilted my head and watched the scenery quickly passing by outside the car window.

The low and slightly hoarse singing voice, mixed with the rhythmic background music, was processed by flagship-level musical instruments with a total price of more than 6 yuan and poured into Bai Chou's ears.

The bass dives very deep and rebounds quickly. The degree of vocal restoration can even allow Bai Chou to hear the singer's sibilance. The accompaniment sounds of various instruments are also well separated without any sense of clutter. Even the bass sound and the most inconspicuous drum beats are clearly audible.

This is a Korean song with a very sad melody and strong R&B elements. Translated into Chinese, it means "Love You Until Death".

It seems to be an episode of a Korean drama, the name of which is "Baker King Kim Tak Goo".

Top-notch portable music equipment, top-notch songs, and top-notch sadness.

Bai Chou didn't think he had anything to be sad about. He chose an idol, and even if he didn't really like them, it would still be a pity to lose them. When he really had to make up his mind, he would inevitably hesitate.

【Without music, life is a mistake.

The host has been detected to be experiencing a low level of pleasure from music. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the solidified ability: Korean-South (Amateur Level 3)

I was touched when I listened to this sad song. How the hell am I happy? I'm feeling sad and depressed. Brother Tongzi, please don't ruin the atmosphere!
