Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 214 The Musical Demon Father
"Damn it, why are we bringing this up again..."

Milo said with a hint of helplessness, "Ding Han, didn't we already say that I only focus on music and life? I really have no interest in the fighting and killing in games."

"What if there's a purge in Star Abyss in the future, targeting level 1 players like you?"

"what?"

Milo was shocked: "Really? Where did you get this news? Is it true?"

"Inaccurate."

I said calmly, "I heard a bit of a rumor from a member of a player organization. I don't know if it's true or not, but I can't rule out that possibility. So as long as there is such a possibility, we can't let our guard down."

"I rely on..."

Milo was caught in a painful dilemma: "What should I do... My first album is a huge hit, and I'll definitely be busy with all sorts of activities. Besides, I also need to find time to create music. Not only will I not have time to level up, but even if I did, you're in Huaining City, and my company is in BH City. It's not easy for you to help me level up. What should I do?"

"Don't worry."

I smiled and said, "I have a brother in BH City who's probably pretty capable. I'll go ask him if he's awake yet."

"Ok, I will wait for you!"

So I sent a message to my left hand: "Left hand, are you awake yet?"

"woke up!"

With his left hand mimicking the tone of someone from "Water Margin," he called out emphatically, "Brother!!! What's wrong?"

"Ah."

I nodded: "There's something I'd like to ask you."

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm pretty free every day anyway."

“I have a friend in BH City who works in music. He turned off the game system right after entering Star Abyss, so he's still a level 1 newbie. But I recently heard that Star Abyss might be purging low-level players, so I'd like to ask you to help him level up when you have time.”

"no problem!"

Zuo Shou laughed and said, "Brother's brother is my brother too. Leveling up is a piece of cake!"

"Okay, I'll create a small group chat for three people."

OK~~~

The next second, I created a group chat and added Left Hand and Milo.

"What the hell?!"

Without me needing to introduce him, Zuo Shou exclaimed in shock, "Bro! Your brother... could he be that Milo who recently had a wildly popular album, borrowing from Pu Shu and then Jay Chou?"

"I rely on..."

Milo was also surprised: "Ding Han, your brother is the top five left-handed big shot in BH City?"

It seems that although the two do not know each other, they are both well-known and have long been aware of each other's existence.

"Ah."

I nodded: "Milo, Zuo Shou is my good brother who went through thick and thin with me when I first entered the game. Zuo Shou and Milo are good brothers I met in Xicheng. You two should get to know each other."

The two exchanged pleasantries at length.

"What are your thoughts on leveling up, Left Hand?" I asked.

"This is simple."

Left Hand said, "Low-level players level up the fastest by farming low-level dungeons. There's no need to leave the city. We can get this done right here in BH City. I'll go to the player black market in a bit and buy a batch of one-star and two-star dungeon crystals. Then, Milo can learn some basic shooting first, and I'll try to get you a Tier 1 purple gun, or at the very least a Tier 1 blue gun. When Milo is killing monsters, I'll just watch from the sidelines. It'll definitely be super fast."

He added, "By the way, I have a Resurrection Scripture on me. I'll put it on you while we're farming, just in case anything goes wrong."

"Hmm, that's a good idea!"

I praised him, "You've got a good idea, kid. But this must have taken a lot of energy, right?"

"It's nothing, it's just a small amount!"

Milo hurriedly said, "No, I'll cover all the expenses. After all, my income is quite high right now, and my music royalties will be even higher in the future. There's no need for you, Left Hand, to pay for these expenses."

"also."

Zuo Shou laughed and said, "In terms of earning power, I certainly can't compare to you, the new godfather of music."

"The new godfather of music?"

I was surprised.

"yes……"

Left Hand said, "After Milo's songs became wildly popular, they quickly swept the nation because their style was completely different from the previous music in 'Star Abyss.' He has already earned many titles, such as musical genius and new music godfather. When we players discuss him in private, we habitually call him 'musical godfather'..."

"Fuck..."

I was shocked: "This title of 'Music Demon Father' is amazing! I'm going to change Milo's WeChat nickname to 'Music Demon Father' right away!"

Left Hand laughed: "Alright, alright, Milo, let's add each other as game friends and WeChat friends. I'll change your nickname to 'Music Demon Father' just like my older brother!"

"Nima..."

Milo was utterly speechless: "You two, have some decency!"

"Hahahaha~~~"

For a moment, only my left hand and I were left with our insane laughter in the chat group.

Afterwards, the three chatted for a while. Zuo Shou had to get up to go to the player black market to prepare, while Milo said that he would be free in the next couple of days and could go to the dungeon with Zuo Shou at any time.

I glanced at the time and realized it was about time, so I got up, washed up, went downstairs to buy breakfast, and everything was as usual. I ate with Lin Qingying and then hitched a ride with her to work.

……

Luo Mei, Maintenance Department Office.

"drop!"

While I was discussing with Fatty how similar and different our hometown Tengshan City in "Star Abyss" was from our real-life hometown SZ City, I suddenly received a WeChat message from Liu Yan, whom I hadn't seen in a long time: "Ding Han, are you free tonight? I'm passing through Huaining City, I'd like to invite you to dinner!"

It was her! Liu Yan, the boss of Xinli Media, and Cheng Shuang's best friend. "Who is it?"

Beside him, the fat man glanced at it gossipily: "Tsk tsk, the profile picture looks pretty good. Ding Han, what kind of luck do you have with women? Everywhere you go, beautiful women ask you out to dinner?"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

I said helplessly, "This person isn't even a regular friend; we've only met twice."

"I do not believe."

The fat man grinned and said, "Unless you take me with you to dinner, I also want to see what this woman with the stunning WeChat profile picture actually looks like."

"you……"

I turned around and said warily, "Fatty, don't get any funny ideas or do anything to betray Shen Yue. She's been so good to you."

"What are you thinking? I'm just asking you for a meal. Today, Shen Yue is going home to celebrate my future mother-in-law's birthday. If you don't take me, wouldn't it be even more miserable for me to go home alone and eat instant noodles?"

"Haha, alright!"

I nodded and replied to Liu Yan: "Sure, but I had plans to have dinner with my buddy. If I change my plans... could I bring him along? Just one more pair of chopsticks, just me, my best buddy, is that okay?"

"Okay!"

Liu Yan sent a smiley face emoji: "Then I'll send you the restaurant address in a bit..."

"Mmm Good!"

Shortly after, Liu Yan sent a message to a place called "Donghu New Elite Hotel".

After get off work, I took a taxi directly there with Fatty.

Twenty minutes later, when the two stood in front of an extremely luxurious hotel, they were both stunned. This Donghu New Elite Hotel was actually a five-star hotel, and it was right by the lake, a truly exceptional location.

"I rely on..."

The fat man frowned and said, "Who is this Liu Yan of yours? She's so high and mighty. It's fine to invite someone to dinner, but to go to a five-star hotel? She must be very rich!"

"She owns a media company in Jiangning City."

"..."

The fat man was speechless, and gave me a meaningful look: "Ding Han, it would be great if you could share your passive skill of 'automatically triggering all the women you meet to be rich' with your brothers..."

"..."

For a moment, I was speechless.

Fatty seems to be right. After entering the Star Abyss World, the women I had deep ties with were indeed all quite wealthy. From Lu Xiaobei to Lin Qingying, and then to Cheng Shuang, each of them came from a distinguished family.

Of course, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to work hard...

I will rely on my own hands, step by step, to reach the pinnacle of "Star Abyss" and live a life worthy of being a human being in this world!

……

Upon entering the hotel, we went to the private room that Liu Yan had sent us.

"Hey, long time no see, Ding Han!"

Liu Yan was the only one in the private room. She stood up and asked with a smile, "Is this your friend?"

"Hello there!"

The fat man nodded: "My name is Yang Wei, but because of my size, everyone usually calls me Fatty."

"Ding Han... Yang Wei..."

Liu Yan made an "emmm" sound and showed a thoughtful expression.

"What would you like to eat? Order whatever you like."

After she sat down, she turned the menu around.

"Fatty, you order."

"it is good."

While the fat man was ordering, Liu Yan pulled her chair closer and said with a smile, "Ding Han, have you listened to Milo's latest album? It's really amazing, especially the title track 'Ordinary Road.' The other songs are also quite good. I checked the data, and his songs currently have the highest request rate in the country. I never expected... he could become famous overnight..."

"Milo is exceptionally talented, so it's normal for him to become famous overnight."

I laughed and said, "I knew this kid was destined for greatness!"

"yes……"

Liu Yan showed a regretful expression: "It's a pity that even though I offered a high price, I couldn't sign Milo to our Xinli Media. Otherwise... Xinli would have soared to new heights along with Milo. What a pity!"

“Milo is a very pure person. He only has music and creation in his heart, which is why he signed with 9Tian Music Network. This cannot be forced.”

I comforted her, saying, "It's okay. Every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe there will be other opportunities for cooperation in the future. After all, you two can still keep in touch, right?"

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Yan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your kind words. If we can really collaborate with Milo, who is known as the godfather of new music, it will be great news for Xinli Media."

……

Soon after, the dishes began to be served.

As expected of a five-star hotel, the dishes served were exquisite, giving the impression of being high-class yet not filling.

"Shall we begin?"

I asked, "Is there anyone else here?"

"There's one more, they're already downstairs." Liu Yan gave him an apologetic look. "Don't be offended that I'm only telling you now~~~"

"what?"

Just then, the waiter pushed open the door from the outside, and the next moment, a familiar figure appeared before us. Dressed in a uniform, she exuded a capable air, carrying a gray women's handbag, and smiled, "Sorry I'm late!"

"you……"

To my surprise, it was none other than Cheng Shuang, whom I hadn't seen in a long time!
