Learn one small skill every day

As Bai Miao walked out of the building and across the street, he heard melodious piano music coming from a building covered in dark purple ivy.

[Classical Music LV1: You possess a certain level of classical music appreciation ability]

Bai Miao immediately recognized the piece as Beethoven's famous "Moonlight Sonata".

Why are my own songs playing in Abyss Street?

Could it be that the Abyss Street dungeon was modeled after reality to some extent?

Currently, Bai Miao has no clue what a dungeon is or what a door is.

It can only be guessed that it is some kind of high-dimensional force, similar to one's own system.

In short, it's something we don't need to consider right now.

As Delis reminded them, they should not interrupt Ms. Luna when the music starts.

Furthermore, Delis mentioned that Ms. Luna enjoys music, and Bai Miao also intends to use music to bring the two closer together.

So Bai Miao kept track of the time while waiting for the music to end.

At approximately 10:40 a.m., the music inside the house abruptly stopped.

Bai Miao then knocked on the door: "Hello, Ms. Luna, I am White, the assistant to the Plague Doctor who lives across the hall from you. Are you available now?"

“Crack…”

The door slowly opened inwards, and Bai Miao mustered his courage and stepped inside. Possessing several musical skills, Bai Miao was confident that he could use music to communicate with Ms. Luna.

Ms. Luna's house was filled with a rich floral fragrance. In the living room, there was a dark purple piano, and Ms. Luna sat on a cushion next to the piano, leaning on a cane.

Ms. Luna looked very old. Although she was wearing a noble black-purple dress and a thin gauze covering her face, Bai Miao could still catch a glimpse of the fine wrinkles at the corners of her mouth.

Strangely, Ms. Luna was not sitting at the piano; rather, she seemed to be a listener.

Who was playing the piano just now?

Bai Miao felt a chill run down his spine, but still asked, "Was that you playing just now? Your skill was superb; I couldn't help but listen outside the door for a long time."

Ms. Luna didn't speak, but silently looked at Bai Miao, then turned to look at the antique piano.

"Do you mean you want me to play a piece for you?"

Ms. Luna nodded slightly.

"Then it's embarrassing."

When Bai Miao sat down at the performance position and placed his hands on the keys, his hands moved involuntarily.

This...this is moonlight?

Bai Miao didn't know what would happen if he continued playing the piece, so he decisively bent his elbow and wrist joints.

In this way, Bai Miao's hand landed face down, striking the piano keys and producing some chaotic and disordered tones.

After the misplay of Moonlight, Bai Miao felt the invisible force that had guided him to play Moonlight disappear. However, Ms. Luna behind him slowly stood up, raised her cane at Bai Miao, and her lips turned down, showing a hint of anger.

“Ms. Luna, please wait a moment! I can play the piano myself! I don’t want to imitate your tunes; I want to play other pieces to communicate with you. Please give me a chance!”

Bai Miao never expected that the flower sellers here would be so unreasonable.

Not only are they not allowed to say a word, but they're also not allowed to play other piano pieces?

This was also the first time Bai Miao had encountered such a dangerous situation in Abyss Street.

And it was during the day.

The insurance company, which possesses numerous musical skills, came in handy at this time.

Without this insurance, Bai Miao wouldn't dare to enter the room rashly.

Upon hearing Bai Miao's request, Ms. Luna's lips curled up slightly, and she sat back down, seemingly waiting for Bai Miao to begin his performance.

Bai Miao flexed his fingers and began to play smoothly.

To Alice.

A piece also composed by Beethoven.

Ms. Luna silently admired Bai Miao's performance from behind, and slowly nodded.

"Phew, Ms. Luna, I've made a fool of myself."

After the piece ended, Bai Miao stood up and bowed to Luna, maintaining proper etiquette for the performance.

Ms. Luna raised her hand and clapped gently.

"Crack, snap, snap."

Because she was wearing silk gloves, her clapping wasn't loud, but Bai Miao could tell she was clapping very hard.

“Ms. Luna, I’ve come to visit you because I want to be your friend. After all, we’re neighbors and share a love of music. Oh, and let me reintroduce myself. My name is White, and I’m currently working as an assistant to the Plague Doctor. I’ve also learned a bit about medicine.”

Ms. Luna stood up, walked to the window, picked a purple flower, and handed it to Bai Miao.

"Thank you for your affirmation."

Bai Miao accepted the flowers, feeling somewhat surprised and delighted.

This flower is a prop!

【Moonlight Blossom】

[Description: Flowers planted by Luna of the Moon, a resident of Abyss Street. When carried on one's person, they can slowly restore the wearer's spirit.]

Moonlight, oh moonlight.

Oh, the moonlight from my hometown!

Condition: Fresh (100%)

[Rating: Teth]

It looks like it has a usage period.

I'm afraid the restorative effect will disappear once the flower withers.

Having gained Luna's friendship, Bai Miao felt much more at ease.

If the soul lamp turns red at night, then this is undoubtedly the closest red-lamp house to Ms. Luna.

Moreover, from Delis's tone, one could sense that, apart from the Plague Doctor, Ms. Luna was the most mysterious and powerful person in this area.

With the flower pinned to his chest, Bai Miao felt his mind become much clearer, and even the black mist outside Abyss Street seemed to dim a little.

Ms. Luna did not utter a single word until Bai Miao left.

"You, how do you have Luna's flower? This flower is not for sale!"

After feeding the nuns in the basement meat as usual, the nun looked at Bai Miao with some disbelief and asked.

"Ms. Luna admired my talent and gave me this flower."

Bai Miao hadn't expected this guy to know so much while locked in the basement.

No, we have to make her tell us everything she knows.

There's only Mr. Wolf, who sells furs, left to visit in the neighborhood. Without enough information, Bai Miao doesn't dare to act rashly.

"I don't believe it. You're just an assistant, how could you possibly have musical talent?"

"If you don't believe me, fine. Let's continue trading today."

"Five pounds of meat, and I want information about Mr. Wolf, the fur seller."

Chapter 10 Difficulty Increased

"Are you really planning to get along with every single neighbor?"

The nun thought that getting five pounds of meat for free wasn't a bad thing, so she revealed all of Wolf's information.

"Wolf is a bit socially awkward, but he has a nickname."

"A very fierce and wicked wolf."

Bai Miao waited for a while, but didn't hear anything more.

"Gone?"

"That's all. Oh, you already know he sells furs."

Bai Miao was a little confused: "Very fierce, and then socially awkward?"

The nun nodded: "That's right."

Bai Miao then asked, "If I want to go there to buy something, won't he be unable to do business if he's socially awkward?"

"Generally speaking, if you put the bloodstone on the windowsill, he will collect it himself and then pass the goods out the window to you. He will give you the corresponding items for the amount of bloodstone you give, and there is no bargaining."

"So, what's the approximate price of the furs he sells? Are they very expensive?"

The nun shook her head: "I haven't bought any, how would I know?"

The nun stretched her hands, the chains rattling as she moved them: "It seems you really want to get along with the neighbors and don't want to leave Abyss Street. You want to stay here forever. Well then, I'll give you some advice."

"Your presence as a human cannot be hidden from the truly dangerous inhabitants, and the longer you live here, the greater the chance they will detect your existence. So you'd better stop being human altogether."

Bai Miao sighed: "I've told you so many times, I've already been transformed."

The nun simply smiled and pursed her lips: "Although my eyes are covered, I am not blind. The human aura on you has been there from the very beginning, which makes me want to tear you to pieces."

Bai Miao's heart skipped a beat, and his whole body tensed up.

Why are you suddenly so fierce? Did I say something wrong?

I've been feeding the nun meat on time and in the right amount every day for the past two days, and I almost forgot how crazy she gets when she's starving.

"Haha, look how scared you are. That's why it's better for an ordinary person to keep a low profile. Do you know why you haven't encountered any danger yet?"

"why?"

Bai Miao was also curious: As an Aleph-level dungeon, had he been having too easy a time in Abyss Street?

But thinking about it carefully, if the person who came in wasn't me, but some other ordinary person, I'm afraid I would have encountered difficulties when buying meat, followed by Ms. Delis and the hide-and-seek incident on the first night.
