She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

"2. Currently, many schools plan to offer esports-related majors. Although it's only a preliminary plan at the moment, it doesn't prevent them from recruiting a small number of students with talent in this area in advance. Even if you don't apply for that major, you can switch in the future..."

"As for number 3... I have conditions for helping you."

Hearing this, Su Mu's face showed a hint of curiosity. "Go on," she said.

Zhao Lisi smiled and slowly lowered the three fingers she had raised: "It's simple. It carries my dream, to climb to the top of the world championship. After all... I really love the game LOL..."

As she finished speaking, a hint of melancholy crossed Zhao Lisi's face.

"About nine months ago, I applied to the Wild Dreams team WLD's youth training camp and stayed there for a while, but unfortunately..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the other three people present were all stunned.

Su Mu never expected that Zhao Lisi's so-called requirements would be like this, nor did he expect that she had ever thought about becoming a professional gamer.

"Does a person really have the right to bear the dreams of others?"

That's far too heavy a burden.

"Others may not know, but I am very clear and certain about my own thoughts."

Zhao Lisi looked out the window, "You know what? When I heard people talking about the streamer Sumu, I went to watch her live stream and listened to her talk about her ideals and beliefs."

"Hearing those words, I was deeply moved and also felt a strong sense of agreement and envy. Su Mu, do you remember what you said?"

"What?" Su Mu was taken aback.

Zhao Lisi breathed a sigh of relief and repeated with a complicated expression, "As a professional player, you can lack everything, but one thing you absolutely cannot lack is the desire to win."

Since I started playing League of Legends, I have never voluntarily surrendered in a single game, even if my teammates suggested it, I always clicked "no".

After following Su Mu, I watched almost every live stream, and Su Mu never initiated a surrender vote. He never agreed to surrender votes initiated by his teammates.

Life is like a game, and indeed, many times everyone has the right to choose to back down, and sometimes backing down is even a better choice.

But everyone has the right to choose to go against the current.

In life, when faced with major changes and encounters, sometimes we have no choice but to compromise and click the "agree" button.

In competitive games, Zhao Lisi didn't want to deny herself, but the truth was that she was still forced to compromise by the cruel reality.

Su Mu and she are the same kind of people. The difference is that she doesn't have the talent, and at 21, it's basically too late to start in the e-sports circle.

"Do you remember now?"

"Of course." Su Mu nodded silently.

No need to reminisce; this is a principle of her career, something ingrained in her bones that she must adhere to.

Zhao Lisi smiled wryly, "What I agree with is your statement and philosophy, and what I envy is that you have the means to pursue your dreams, but I don't. I've already experienced the cruelty of the e-sports world before even taking a single step into it..."

(V) Qi Ba, Qi Lu Yi Su Mu remained silent, staring intently into her eyes, trying to discern something within them.

The atmosphere fell silent as well. Bai Wei pursed her lips and remained silent, her thoughts drifting into the distance. Zhang Xiaoyu scratched the back of her head, unsure how to join their conversation, and also not quite understanding their ideas.

"Idols are entitled to bear the small dreams of their fans. Therefore, this is an excessive demand made unilaterally by a fan who cannot realize her own dream, without seeking the idol's consent and assuming that the idol should bear this burden..."

At this point, a sly glint appeared in Zhao Lisi's eyes. "Such unreasonable fans, isn't it only right that they do what they can to help their idol?"

"What do you think? My idol... Su Mu."

Su Mu's previously calm face suddenly broke into a smile, the corners of his mouth gradually widening.

She understood that Zhao Lisi said these words simply because she didn't want to have any psychological burden, but she also understood that Zhao Liling was not lying and had not fabricated non-existent facts.

"My goal has always been that supreme glory..."

"Hehe, then I wish us a pleasant 'cooperation'..."

……

evening.

Su Mu leaned her arms on the balcony railing, gazing at the distant sunset in the warm summer breeze.

Bai Wei carried a guitar from the music room to the living room. She couldn't see Su Mu anywhere. After glancing at the balcony, she paused for a moment, then walked towards her.

“(1) Qi Ba Lin abandoned Yi Mu Mu.”

"Is today's practice time over? Lingwu IX (Three) Liujiu Group Teasing"

"It's over." Bai Wei nodded and asked softly, "There are still more than ten days until school starts. Have you decided what major you want to choose?"

Although Su Mu and Zhao Lisi didn't explicitly discuss it at lunch today, she knew they had reached a consensus.

Su Mu agreed to help Zhao Lisi with her enrollment, supporting her as she pursues her dreams.

"Sigh, I'm struggling with this too," Su Mu sighed softly. "Any recommendations?"

"Guangdong University offers over seventy undergraduate majors. Generally speaking, humanities or arts majors offer more free time compared to STEM majors, and if the student's level is sufficient, taking a leave of absence has less impact."

"For example?" hissed.

"Foreign languages, history, musicology, fine arts, and... oh right!" *sigh*

Bai Wei paused mid-sentence, then suggested with some anticipation, "How about the music department? That's my area of ​​expertise, and I can offer you some assistance!"

As she spoke, she pointed to the guitar hanging on her body.

"Music, huh..."

"Yes, I've dabbled in stringed instruments, wind instruments, percussion instruments, and electronic instruments. Piano, guitar, bass, drums, violin, cello, erhu, guzheng… I know quite a lot. You can pick one that interests you to start with." — Yu

“Hmm…” Su Mu pondered for a moment, then touched his chin with two fingers, “I think it’s feasible.”

"Let's go to the music room!" Bai Wei grabbed Su Mu's hand, somewhat impatiently.

The two walked straight through the living room and into the spacious music room, which was filled with many different musical instruments.

"Try out some instruments and see which one you like."

39. Personalized instruction

Bai Wei's music room was filled with a wide variety of musical instruments, many of which Su Mu did not recognize, or that he had seen on screen but could not name.

After a few seconds of blank staring, Su Mu closed his eyes, shook his head, and honestly said, "How about a guitar? That's the one I'm most familiar with, followed by a piano and drums."

"Okay, I'll go get one for you first."

"...(II) Jiǔ Lín Wū Shān Yī Powder"

For the next half hour, Bai Wei explained the basic structure of the guitar, the twelve-tone melody, and how to tune the guitar to Su Mu's ears.

These basic concepts were not difficult to understand, and Su Mu, with his good memory, quickly memorized them.

Then there's how to read sheet music, and which string each finger is typically responsible for.

The two sat cross-legged on the sofa, facing each other, and Bai Wei gently plucked a string with her right hand.

"Mumu, practice this C chord for a while first, get familiar with how to play it, and it will also help train your finger dexterity. I'll demonstrate it for you twice. Hmm... beginners can use a metronome. I'll turn it on..."

As she spoke, Bai Wei picked up the cell phone next to her.

Su Mu nodded slightly, her expression one of curiosity.

With the metronome on, Bai Wei adjusted her posture and said, "Let's start with quarter notes, which means playing one note for every beat."

"it is good."

Su Mu played the same piece for more than two minutes, then switched to eighth notes, which is two notes for every beat, and then to sixteenth notes.

The chord is always the same; the difference lies in the speed of repetition.

These are not difficult to understand either. Su Mu made mistakes at first due to his inexperience, but he gradually got into the swing of things faster than Bai Wei had expected.

Does playing esports give people a natural advantage when it comes to learning musical instruments...?

After practicing C chords for about half an hour, Su Mu finally stopped, somewhat reluctantly, to listen to Bai Wei explain the next topic: scales.

Both of them were engrossed in their studies; Su Mu was fully engaged in learning, and Bai Wei was equally dedicated to teaching, so their progress was quite rapid.

As Su Mu became more and more proficient in the basic operations, Bai Wei no longer needed a second guitar. It was more convenient for her to sit right next to Su Mu and teach him step by step.

"You could try going two beats faster, like this..."

Bai Wei's breath and gentle whispers rang in his ears, making Su Mu feel a tickle on his earlobe. The softness against his right shoulder and back made it difficult for him to concentrate.

The feeling of being pressed tightly against by a soft, fragrant woman...it's so pleasant...

However, Su Mu quickly put aside his random thoughts and focused on his studies.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Bai Wei's face belatedly flushed slightly, and she announced that today's guitar lesson was temporarily over.

As they taught each other, they unknowingly grew so close...

Banishing the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Bai Wei recalled the situations she encountered when she first started learning and earnestly offered some advice.

"Practicing like this every day may cause your fingers to hurt and get blisters, and calluses will form in about half a month, but these are all normal phenomena. I will help you relieve the pain then."

At this point, Bai Wei seemed to remember something and whispered, "If your fingers hurt... it might affect your performance in League of Legends."

"It's not a big problem." Su Mu rubbed her slightly sore wrist, stretched her fingers and smiled, "Your Mu Mu is so skilled, even if I have a debuff to rank up, my skill will only be affected by 10 or 20% at most."

Bai Wei smiled without saying a word, revealing two shallow dimples on her face.

In the short hour or so that she taught Su Mu guitar, she could say that Su Mu had talent in this area and that in the days leading up to the start of the school term, Su Mu's skill level should reach a pretty good level.

"Hmm, learning music seems really good, I'll take this one!" Su Mu smiled, revealing her teeth.

Bai Wei narrowed her eyes into crescent moons. "Since you've made up your mind, then tell Senior Zhao Lisi. As long as you also get into the music department of Guangdong University, you'll be my junior."

"Please take care of me, your future junior. I need Senior Bai Wei's personal guidance."

"no problem!"

"Oh dear, it's almost seven o'clock... I'm hungry, I'll go cook!"

"..."

……

In the days that followed, Su Mu devised a time management plan for herself, meticulously arranging what to do at what time.

As a professional player, she is used to a disciplined life and is quite comfortable with it.

The finger problem I expected didn't occur, and the system's limited-time task was quite helpful; I drew a very good reward.

I won this reward on the third day after I started practicing guitar.

【Slender Hands: Your hands will not develop ailments due to overuse, will not easily feel fatigued, and will have a significantly reduced probability of developing hand diseases. Note: Of course, a girl's slender and charming hands should be well protected.】

Since winning this reward, Su Mu has been able to practice guitar all morning without feeling fatigued in his hands, and he can also maintain a high-intensity, systematic training regimen typical of professional players for a long time without feeling tired.

This is a huge advantage, meaning she can better maintain her current form and practice more to improve her skills.

Su Mu discovered that limited-time tasks were indeed not available every day; there hadn't been any for the past two days.

The live stream is almost over tonight, I didn't know if I'd be able to... well, I got it.

[Limited-time task released]

[The hero using Void Force counter-killed two people: 0/]

The task rewards will be randomly drawn from the following five categories.

1. Guitar Prodigy: Your guitar skills will reach level four, enabling you to play arpeggios, strum some rhythmic picks, play complete pieces smoothly without errors, and express some emotions.

2. Computer Accessories: Obtained a small bottle of CPU with no side effects. Note: This accessory is pink and ineffective on blue computers. Remark: When you treat others as prey, you often become the prey yourself…

3. Fluent in Cantonese: Familiar with the accents of different Cantonese-speaking regions and knows the correct pronunciation of various obscure Cantonese words and phrases.

4. Normal development: Your measurements will reach 85, 55, 82 by the age of 20. Note: Don't worry, you won't encounter anyone who wants to see if your development is normal.

5. Who should you envy: Within three days, you will be hugged and kissed on the cheek by a beautiful woman. Note: Being close to the water tower gives you an advantage. Get close to her and get close to her!

After reading it, Su Mu's head was filled with ellipses, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Aside from rewards 1 and 3, the other rewards still have a familiar feel to them. Leaving aside reward 4 for now, calling the remaining two "filler rewards" to pollute the gacha pool seems a bit of an exaggeration…

Hopefully, I'll have better luck.

The conditions weren't too difficult to meet, so Su Mu chose the jungler Kha'Zix to enter the game.

The definition of "counter-kill" is very broad. According to her understanding, being crippled by someone first and then killing the person who attacked you should count as a counter-kill.

And that was indeed the case; the mission was completed in 14 minutes, and the game ended in 23 minutes.
