Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Under the blazing midday sun, the wide main streets of the city were bustling with traffic and people coming and going in an endless stream.

Chu Ge concealed his form in the void, suppressing all his aura, fearing that the sudden intrusion would disturb the mermaids of this world.

She observed her surroundings as she steadily made her way toward the palace in the very center of the city.

The shops on both sides of the street are lined up one after another, with restaurants, clothing stores and convenience stores. The architectural layout and business format are almost exactly the same as those of modern human cities.

The street is dominated by musical instrument shops, with piano stores, guitar shops, and violin workshops scattered everywhere. All kinds of musical instrument stores together occupy half of the storefronts along the street.

Not only do shops feature musical instruments, but music permeates every corner of the city.

Melodious songs drifted continuously from the direction of the palace in the distance, and mermaids could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys, immersed in the music.

Some people played musical instruments on the spot, some sang loudly by the roadside, and even during the brief pause while waiting for the red light, many passersby would hum a short tune on the spot.

"People in this world seem to have a special fondness for music."

After observing for a moment, Chu Ge immediately noticed the anomaly in this world.

Immediately afterwards, she examined the magic flowing within the bodies of the people around her and noticed a second strange phenomenon.

The concentration of magical energy in this place is extremely high, and even a local could possess extraordinary talent.

The problem is that the vast majority of superhumans are stuck at level C, and their own strength is very weak.

Along the way, the strongest native mermaid Chu Ge had ever met was only a B-level guard captain.

The captain was burly and fierce, wearing a close-fitting light blue armor and holding a trident of the same color in his hand.

He was followed by ten guards, all of whom were at the peak of C-level cultivation.

Putting aside their spiritual realm, these guards were only slightly better physically than ordinary civilians.

With regular physical training, ordinary people can also reach the same level over time.

Chu Ge secretly assessed that the overall combat strength of this world was rather weak. Without using technology, even if the students of Donghai Magic High School came, they could probably take over the entire city.

Not to mention that three years have passed, and these students have long since grown up and entered university. Their strength is now incomparable to what it was before, and there is a possibility that higher-level or even stronger individuals may emerge.

Just as she was pondering the reason for the abnormal world's combat power, the sound of rolling wheels came from afar.

An exquisitely decorated float slowly drove in, heading straight for the central blue palace.

There were three people on the float.

In the front row was the driver, with a maid dressed as a lady standing to the side, and a blond young man in a black suit sitting in the main seat.

The young man was handsome and had an elegant demeanor. He sat comfortably in his chair with a white piano in front of him. He closed his eyes, focused his mind, and played the piano leisurely with his fingertips on the keys.

Chu Ge stared intently at the person, and was slightly surprised after sensing the aura emanating from him.

"S-rank?"

In a world where everyone is generally C-level, S-level is the ceiling of top-tier powerhouses.

Even if they go to the surface world of Witch Star, they can still stand firmly.

"It seems I underestimated this world before," the girl murmured. "With such a uniquely high magical environment, it's impossible for it not to produce top-tier experts."

"Without the emergence of powerful beings, the abundant magic power that exists everywhere would have no value."

The ethereal and melodious sound of a piano grew louder as it approached, spreading along the entire long street on the gentle breeze.

Upon hearing the music, the mermaids all stopped in their tracks, their gazes falling in unison on the young man playing the piano on the float.

The musicians who were entertaining themselves on the street all stopped playing.

Looking at the performer who could produce heavenly sounds, everyone felt a deep sense of inferiority. In comparison, their own performances seemed crude and inadequate.

Even cars that were driving normally braked suddenly, and the mermaids inside closed their eyes and listened intently, instantly silencing the entire street.

Upon hearing the music, a passerby couldn't contain his awe and whispered, "To hear a piano performance of this caliber live in my lifetime, I'd die happy."

As soon as he finished speaking, he covered his mouth, his face filled with shame.

To speak out with one's own hoarse and rough voice in the face of pure piano music would be tantamount to desecrating art.

There were many passersby who were also impressed, and they all deliberately kept their voices down so as not to disturb the performance.

Before long, the floats drove away down the street and slowly disappeared at the end of the road, and the music that had lingered in the alleys gradually faded away.

The stationary vehicles and pedestrians resumed their movements, and the noise once again filled the streets.

Someone in the crowd chatted and asked, "Is Mr. William from the City of Pianos also here for Princess Doria's concert?"

A passerby next to him nodded: "That's right, judging from the route of the floats, the destination is the Royal Palace."

The person asking the question looked on with envy: "If I could go on stage and perform in front of all the music masters and princesses in the palace, I would have no regrets in this life."

Before the words were finished, another float of the same kind drove up from afar, also equipped with a driver and maid, except that the performer was a beautiful blonde girl.

The girl stood on the float, her wrists pulling the bow, and the melodious sound of the violin echoed through the streets.

"It's Miss Amber from the violin city. I've heard she's the most likely among the younger generation to become a violin master."

Passersby stopped to marvel and praise the scene, which was exactly the same as when William had passed by.

After investigating, Chu Ge confirmed that the girl named Amber also possessed S-level cultivation.

Following this, several floats arrived from afar, carrying young musical prodigies from various regions who sat on them, playing their special instruments along the way, all heading towards the palace.

After observing numerous street performances and listening to the Chu songs hidden in the void, I finally figured out the basic rules of this world.

This is a world where music is the core foundation.

Cities are scattered all over the continent. The "City of Sound" where we are currently staying is the capital of the entire continent. All the remaining cities are named after various musical instruments, such as the City of Piano, the City of Violin, and the City of Guitar.

The locals have a deep-seated passion for music. They eat while playing music, walk while humming tunes, and even when procreation, many mermaids will play music while doing so.

But don't think these mermaids are acting strangely or madly. In their belief, music is an elegant art bestowed upon the world by the god of music, "celestial music".

Locally accepted rules for bestowing blessings:

To have a boy, play loud rock music during intercourse; the heavens will then bless the baby boy.

If you want a daughter, conceive while listening to soothing piano music;

If they wanted twins, the couple would join forces and play two different pieces of music together.

Not only reproduction relies on music, but crops in the fields sprouting ears, fruits on trees ripening, and domestic livestock breeding can all accelerate their growth with the help of specific music.

Even if the car runs out of fuel and stalls, as long as the corresponding piece of music is played on site, the music will become the power source, and the vehicle can get back on the road.

Music is embedded in every aspect of the local people's lives, from clothing and food to housing and transportation; people's lives are inseparable from music.

Thanks to the abundant resources brought by music, the entire continent has long been free from war and poverty, and its residents enjoy a very high level of happiness.

The long-term peaceful and carefree life has led everyone to give up cultivating magic. In their view, the world is at peace, and there is no point in cultivating to become stronger.

Ask any passerby here what they pursue in life, and everyone will give the same answer without hesitation:

He entered the Blue Palace to perform on stage and became a respected music master.

Chu Ge then understood the reason why songs had been drifting from the palace for days.

Tonight is the birthday of Princess Doria, the only daughter of the mermaid royal family and the future heir. The princess is organizing a grand music gala at the palace, and the songs that have been playing throughout the city for days are invitations she has personally composed.

The song, aided by magic, spread throughout the continent, inviting top musicians from all over to the palace for a banquet and exchange.

Now that they understood the origin of the song, Chu Ge had no reason to continue approaching the palace.

But she had just arrived in this world and only had a rough understanding of the surface rules. To find a way to leave this space, she had to delve deeper into the world's secrets.

The royal library inside the palace houses books from all over the continent, making it the best place to quickly grasp the whole world and find clues to escape.

Tonight, a grand banquet is being held at the palace, attracting a large influx of musicians. The main force of the palace guards has been deployed to the banquet area for defense.

The library was located in a remote area with the weakest defenses, which made it easy for her to sneak in and access the books.

The next second, the girl who had been hiding in the void lifted her foot and pointed directly at the palace in the center of the city.
