Little Blue Kept Standing Tall Right Up to the Moment of Death

"Hmph! Of course, what's wrong with playing guitar?!"

This is the sound coming from a guitar. It seems their voices are gradually returning to normal, probably because they've been talking to real humans for so long.

Her voice gradually shed its obviously inhuman hoarseness, high-pitchedness, and sharpness, and began to sound like that of a normal human woman.

"Anyway, it's better than bass."

"Really."

"..." Ah, bass... suddenly I can understand that Cong Yu now.

To this, Lantian Zhu immediately couldn't understand, and she protested expressionlessly. "What? What's wrong with bass?!"

Are you crazy? Aren't you completely clueless about bands? A tone-deaf kid suddenly starting to defend musical instruments...

Have you established a mental connection with someone from another world?

As Cong Yu was internally complaining like this, Xiao Cui looked in the direction from which the Piano Soul's voice came. "So, do you want to devour them, or do they want to devour you?"

Upon hearing Xiao Cui's words, the Piano Soul's voice hesitated slightly before replying, "Actually, neither is true..."

"They approached me first, saying they wanted to form a band with me, and threatened to devour me if I didn't agree."

"I have a job at the company, so I don't have time to form a band with them. After I refused, they kept pestering me."

"The conflict must be resolved through fighting."

"..." Yaochuan Guang: "..."

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Xiao Cui: "..."

Cong Yu: "..."

Oh dear, this is a mess.

So after all that, it all comes down to forming a band, doesn't it?

Your art style is completely out of place on our set... We suggest you go live on the set of another music and animation studio.

They'd anthropomorphize each of the characters into beautiful girls who are human-made musical instruments, create some yuri (lesbian) elements, and generate some kind of gimmicky music anthropomorphic competition.

Add in things like "I don't feel happy" or "I'll be in a band for life," and maybe you'll become popular.

Then we'll make a mobile game or something.

They could develop attribute training systems like speed, stamina, strength, resilience, and intelligence, and release card pools containing musical instrument cards and support cards.

Then, you can train your musical instrument's stats to compete in tournaments and such.

It will definitely generate a lot of revenue.

Amidst the silence and awkward atmosphere, the leader of the guitarists finally spoke up, "Um... could you leave us alone? And, are you really not going to form a band?"

Their attitude suddenly became humble!

But it seems she still really wants to form a band.

Although Cong Yu really wanted to say something like, "[Just kill yourself (without mercy)]", she still looked in the direction of the Piano Soul and asked, "What are you thinking?"

To this, the voice of the Piano Soul sounded slightly helpless, "Although I'm very tempted, the group is still more important to me..."

From this perspective, the personality of Piano Soul is still quite different from that of a human, or rather, not sophisticated enough.

If it were Rabbit Man here, since Cong Yu, as the superior cadre, would be standing here, she definitely wouldn't have said the first half of the sentence.

Instead, he immediately spoke out to express his utmost loyalty.

But who is Cong Yu? He's the most eccentric person in the world with a kind heart! He's all about bribing people... ahem.

It's all about doing good deeds!

"Piano Soul, and you all... let's call it [Guitar]"

[Soul] Bar, Guitar Soul No. 1, No. 2, No. 3.

As Cong Yu spoke, he, as a group executive and someone who no longer wanted to come out in the middle of the night to solve similar problems, announced the solution.

"Guitar Soul, if you join the group, I'll approve your participation in forming a band within the group, so you won't be fighting and disturbing the peace in Wind City."

As she said this, Cong Yu sighed softly, took her hand out of her pocket, and patted the head of the Piano Soul.

Cong Yu originally intended to pat his shoulder, but since he couldn't see, he could only sense the general problem and patted his head instead.

"Piano Soul, you don't need to do fieldwork anymore. Just go to the economics group and work on music... If you're interested in a band, then you need to go for it."

"The Wind City a free city; in the free wind, seek your true self, Piano Soul..."

"..."

"Yes, Cong Yu."

You can hear the gratitude in the Piano Soul voice.

Chapter 645 Little Lan Maintained Her Standing Posture Even in Death

[Soul Band is hiring!]

[We are hiring: one bassist, one drummer, one band director (keyboarding experience preferred), and one band manager.]

[Contact number: XXXXX]

[Currently active at XX Bar in Wind City, main members...]

"..."

"A modern band?"

Sitting on the sofa, Cong Yu couldn't help but complain aloud, attracting the attention of Yaochuan Guang beside her. "What? What?"

In response, Cong Yu directly showed the "Recruitment" interface displayed on the group's sub-page on her phone.

With a look of deep emotion, Cong Yu complained about Piano Soul and the others' actions, "I thought they were going to form a classical music band..."

Guitar Soul No. 1, in fact, previously took in Violin Soul, he has both cello and violin.

With both piano and violin, forming a classical, symphony, or orchestral band seems much easier than forming a modern band.

Yaochuan Guang, who knew very little about the band, tilted his head, not understanding what Cong Yu was referring to.

Lantian Zhu was well aware of this, so she began to explain, "A modern band, at its most streamlined, needs four members..."

"One guitarist, one bassist, one keyboardist, one drummer... then the bassist will be responsible for singing."

"If we're going to add more people, we'll add a guitarist, we could call him a rhythm guitarist... that way the rhythm guitarist can also take on the responsibility of singing."

"Only then will we consider other instruments to add complexity to the band's music. But this will also increase the training costs... Adding one more person will significantly increase the cost, to an unimaginable degree."

Although Lantian Zhu has never been in a band, he sometimes sings off-key... He was a little off-key at the beach before.

Fortunately, the song she sang was one that Cong Yu was very familiar with. So in the end, she managed to persuade her to come back, and Cong Yu had never heard that song before, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

However, the era of Lantian Zhu seems to have been a time when bands and singers were active and very popular.

In those days, many cartoonists would even incorporate their favorite song titles or band names into their comics, designing them as the abilities of their characters.

Quite trendy and cool.

Therefore, one should know more or less about Lantian Zhu.

However, Yaochuan Guang didn't immediately understand after Lantian Zhu's explanation. Like a well-behaved student, she raised her hand. "Um..."

Yaochuan Guang asked this question with the innocent naiveté of someone completely out of the loop, "What is bass?"

What is it...?

This question is a little difficult to answer.

"The bass is the low-pitched guitar,"

Cong Yu explained it this way, and Yaochuan Guang immediately exclaimed "Oh--" as if he had just realized something, and then said something terrible.

"I've actually seen concerts on TV and stuff, but I didn't notice that... bassist or anything."

Sorrow...

Bassists all over the world are experiencing a river of Sorrow.

"..." Just as the two people who knew a little about music were trying to laugh with heavy hearts, Hong came out of the bathroom, drying her hair.

"Children, I'm back."

As she said this, Red, who had just washed her hair, had long, crimson hair that looked wet... Magical girls have very good hair.

Of all the people Cong Yu knew, apart from Takemikazuchi, he had never heard of any magical girl or freak with bad hair quality.

Takemikazuchi's shedding is probably due to his unique condition... It's normal for small animals to shed fur if they have an unbalanced diet!

Hong hadn't completely dried her hair, but instead excitedly sat down on the sofa next to Cong Yu: "Let's continue!"

Hong, in high spirits, invited Cong Yu to continue the video game they had been playing.

Yaochuan Guang was also very happy. She sat on the other side of Cong Yu and happily hugged Cong Yu's arm. "Keep going! Game Start!"

Yaochuan Guang prefers watching Cong Yu games to playing them himself.

Is it similar to the mentality of watching your favorite streamer play games?

Lantian Zhu speculated, looking at the long legs that were pressed tightly against Cong Yu's... These belonged to Senior Hong.

Then, Lantian Zhu looked at what was in front of him.

Television screen.

"What's so fun about this game anyway?"

Lantian Zhu posed this thought-provoking question as she watched Cong Yu and Hong choose one of the three cards in front of them, not quite understanding the fun of this game.

This is roughly a war strategy game. The basic gameplay is... well, it's all about civilization, you know what I mean? Civilization.

Start with a small city, build structures to expand your territory, then conquer other factions, form alliances, and so on.

However, it includes a choice of three options and roguelike elements.

"Farmland (can be placed in plains, sparse forests, and grasslands): Consumes 2 units of water per turn and generates 6 units of food."

"Friendly Waterworks (can be placed on rivers, seas, or water-bearing tiles): Grants all allies who have built friendly buildings an additional 1 unit of water per turn."

After reading out two of the three options, Lantian Zhu tilted her head as she prepared to read out the third option. She saw that Cong Yu and Hong had used up their refresh attempts and changed the three options to a new set of three options.

So, what exactly makes this game so fun?

They seem really infatuated...

"The fun of a three-choice game lies in choosing one of three options, and this applies to many different types of games. Even old games can be used to develop new tracks."

"Anyway, all you need to do is put three options on the screen: refresh in the bottom left corner, skip in the bottom right corner... and the player will be satisfied."

Cong Yu offered this explanation, but it clearly failed to convince Lantian Zhu...

She wasn't a big fan of video games and didn't have a deep understanding of them. So she didn't even understand where this logic came from.

However, she also has her own way of understanding it.

So, is it about "choice"? Multiple, continuous choices, and the sense of accomplishment from tangible improvements?

Such a summary of Lantian Zhu can only be described as quite intelligent... Judging from this, she has indeed been deducting very little these days.

He seems to be getting smarter and smarter.

Cong Yu glanced at her in surprise... This instantly satisfied Lantian Zhu's pride, causing it to swell up.

"Am I smart?"

Lantian Zhu spoke with a blank expression and a flat tone, making it impossible to tell whether it was a question or a statement.

However, in the next second, Lantian Zhu, who was destined not to be a cautious hero, spoke rather carelessly.

It could be said that he is ten or even nine out of ten parts unsteady.

"Because I feel a great sense of accomplishment every time I successfully murder Little Guang, it's probably because we're similar in that respect."

Yaochuan Guang: "Huh?"
