What are you doing, Mr. President? I'm just an extra!

"Oh?"

Lu Li raised an eyebrow.

Alright, they've already given us the task, and they've practically offered themselves up; it would be impolite not to take it.

[And this is the reward too. With this, giving President Su massages in the future... cough cough.]

"What? You're scared now?"

Seeing that Lu Li remained silent for a long time, Zhao Tai assumed that he had backed down.

He straightened the slightly disheveled collar of his white suit.

"Weren't you quite talkative just now?"

"If you're scared, kneel down now, kowtow three times, and call me Grandpa Zhao, and I might let you off the hook."

The surrounding lackeys immediately started making a fuss.

"Exactly! If you're afraid to compete, just say so!"

"Our Young Master Zhao has won a provincial gold medal. Compared to a gigolo like you who only knows how to live off women, he's a complete swindler!"

"Get out of here, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Shen Weilan couldn't listen anymore.

She took a step forward, about to start cursing, but Lu Li grabbed her wrist.

"Brother Lu..."

Lu Li looked at Zhao Tai and nodded slightly.

"OK."

"Since Young Master Zhao is in such high spirits, then I'll play along with you."

……

Zhao Tai sat in front of that expensive Steinway.

He affectedly straightened the collar of his white suit.

The girls around them gasped softly.

Zhao Tai enjoyed being watched. He raised his chin and gave Shen Weilan what he thought was a deep, affectionate look.

"Wei Lan, this song 'Zhong' is for you."

His hand fell, and the piano keys made a crisp, resonant sound.

It has to be said, Zhao Tai is indeed quite something.

Liszt's "Champs" is known for its high level of difficulty, with its wide leaps and rapid fingerpicking, which severely tests the performer's skills.

Zhao Tai's fingers danced across the black and white piano keys.

Although some notes sound muddy and the rhythm is a bit unsteady, it's impressive enough to a layman.

"Wow, that's fast!"

"My hands are about to cramp from looking at this!"

"Young Master Zhao is awesome!"

Shen Weilan didn't even lift her eyelids.

She clung to Lu Li, her ample breasts squeezing and deforming his arms.

She leaned close to Lu Li's ear, her warm breath carrying the scent of vanilla, penetrating directly into Lu Li's ear canal.

"Brother Lu."

"He plays terribly."

Lu Li only felt an itch in his ears.

[Grandma, stop rubbing against me!]

[Fire is coming!]

Lu Li subtly moved a little to the side.

Shen Weilan immediately stuck to him like a piece of chewing gum.

"Don't you like listening to this?"

Shen Weilan blinked her big eyes, her peach blossom eyes full of cunning.

"I only like hearing Lu-gege's voice..."

Lu Li almost choked to death on his own saliva.

I knew it!

Could you please tone down your vulgar language a little?

At this moment, Zhao Tai's performance reached its climax.

He deliberately sped up in order to show off his skills.

His body swayed wildly to the rhythm, his slicked-back head bobbing back and forth, sweat streaming down his face.

At last.

"when--!"

A heavy chord fell.

Zhao Tai raised his hand, drawing an exaggerated arc in the air, and then froze.

He held that position for a full three seconds.

Thunderous applause erupted from all around.

"good!"

"So cool!"

"One more!"

Zhao Tai stood up, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Lu Li with a smug expression.

"How is it?"

"Pretty boy".

"Did you understand?"

"That's what art is, that's what technique is."

"I bet someone like you, who only knows how to live off women, probably can't even find where Central C is, right?"

All eyes in the crowd instantly turned to Lu Li.

There was mockery, sympathy, and even amusement at the spectacle.

"Forget it, don't embarrass yourself."

"Exactly, competing with Young Master Zhao in piano is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"

Zhao Tai walked up to Lu Li and looked down at him.

"Weren't you very arrogant just now?"

"Why are you mute now?"

"If you're scared, just kneel down and call me grandpa. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I can reimburse your travel expenses home."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head.

"I was just thinking, are there any more interesting prizes?"

"How about this?"

"Whoever loses has to kneel on top of that pink Lamborghini and shout 'I am a stomach tonic' three times."

"How is it?"

Zhao Tai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"good!"

"It's a deal!"

"I think you're just stubborn and won't give up until you're completely cornered!"

"Please, great artist!"

Zhao Tai turned to the side and made a "please" gesture.

Lu Li strode over to the piano and sat down.

[System, is this trial card reliable?]

Don't let it turn into something like "Two Tigers" for me; I'll lose all face.

The system's voice echoed in my mind.

[Ding! Your God-Level Piano Performance Experience Card has been activated.]

[The host's current desire to show off has been detected. The music has been automatically matched as: Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.]

[Bonus Skill: Master-level Finger Technique (Kato Taka Limited Edition) has been temporarily loaded.]

[Friendly reminder: This fingering technique can not only be used to play the piano, but also to create a spiritual connection with women. Please use it with caution.]

When Lu Li placed his hands on the piano, his demeanor changed.

His back straightened, and his eyes became deep and focused.

The surrounding noise suddenly quieted down, and everyone sensed the change in the atmosphere.

Shen Weilan stood not far away, watching the figure sitting in front of the piano, her heart skipped a beat.

Lu Li at this moment is so unfamiliar, yet so captivating.

"Thump..."

The first note fell.

Deep and heavy.

It was like a sigh from the depths of the earth.

This is followed by a simple melody that is full of Russian melancholy.

Just when everyone thought he was going to play some lyrical piece,

Lu Li's fingers suddenly twitched.

No.

It's not moving.

It's flying!

That's so fast that you can't even see the afterimage!

The originally gentle melody instantly turned into a raging storm!

That was thousands upon thousands of notes exploding at the same time!

Lu Li leaned forward slightly.

His ten fingers danced, struck, and caressed the piano keys wildly.

Every note was clear and powerful.

That sense of power.

That explosive power.

It's something that doesn't seem like something a human finger could do!

Zhao Tai's smug smile froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.

He studied music, so of course he knew what piece it was!

Ra 3!

This is fucking idiot!

Moreover, it's the kind of top-tier, flawless Rashomon III!

Even the top pianists in the country wouldn't dare to attempt this piece without proper preparation.

Because if you lose control, it will turn into a car accident.

But this Lu Li...

How could he play it so easily?

So...wild?

This is not playing the piano at all.

This is clearly an act of rape against the piano!

Lu Li was completely immersed in the world of music.

【Cool!】

This is so awesome!

Is this what a god-tier trial card looks like?

These notes flowed from my fingertips like water.

As the music reached its climax, Lu Li's hand speed increased.

His fingers transformed into streaks of white shadows on the black and white keys.

The visual impact of that extreme speed was many times stronger than Zhao Tai's flashy performance just now!

This is real skill!

Use absolute strength to crush all fancy tricks!
