Chapter 181:
With a determined resolve, Wang Haoran exchanged 7000 villain points directly for the supreme level of piano performance and the supreme level of musical composition.
Qiu Qianwei\'s musical abilities were all master level. These two supreme-level abilities directly enhanced Qiu Qianwei\'s status.
If he were to demonstrate these in front of Qiu Qianwei, it would surely dazzle her.
Five days later was Qiu Qianwei\'s solo concert. It was a perfect opportunity for him to make a move!
...
Night.
Wang Haoran arrived at a piano shop, intending to buy a piano to take home.
Although he comprehended the two supreme-level musical abilities directly, he was a perfectionist.
In order to perform well at Qiu Qianwei\'s concert, he definitely needed to practice beforehand. Since he needed to practice, he naturally needed a good piano.
After browsing through the shop for a while, Wang Haoran finally chose a piano that looked pleasing to the eye.
Next, he needed to test the sound quality of the piano.
Wang Haoran asked the staff to bring a piano score, from which he selected an extremely difficult piece of music: the Third Piano Concerto. This piece was universally acknowledged as one of the most challenging pieces in music history.
With Wang Haoran\'s supreme-level piano performance, playing ordinary pieces would not pose a challenge. This Third Piano Concerto was exactly what he was looking for.
After browsing through the score, Wang Haoran placed it on the piano stand. His fingers moved dazzlingly between the keys, and the piano produced melodious sounds.
Wang Haoran felt as if he had merged with the piano, a mystical feeling akin to the unity of a martial artist and their weapon.
In this immersed state, Wang Haoran unconsciously completed the performance of the piano piece. As the final note of the piano piece fell, the surrounding area erupted into enthusiastic applause.
Turning around, Wang Haoran saw about ten or twenty people nearby. Among them were the piano shop owner and customers who came to buy pianos. He had been so immersed in his performance that he hadn\'t noticed what was happening around him. These people were all attracted to the piano piece he played.
"I\'ll take this one." Wang Haoran felt that this piano suited him well, so he decided to buy it. As for the price of 1.88 million yuan, he didn\'t care. For him, 1.88 million yuan was just a small amount of money.
After swiping his card and leaving his address and contact information, he waited for the shop to deliver the piano the next day.
However, what Wang Haoran didn\'t know was that his performance had been recorded by a fangirl who was struck by sudden inspiration, and it had been posted on a short video platform.
Of course, to avoid infringement, the fangirl had blurred out Wang Haoran\'s face. But this didn\'t affect the video\'s appeal, because the highlight of the video was not Wang Haoran\'s appearance, but his extraordinary piano skills.
The short video went viral overnight, generating millions of likes.
...
The next day.
This piano performance video soared to the top of the hot search list.
The keywords in the title were: Piano God.
Meanwhile, Wang Haoran was still fast asleep. It was the holiday season, and he didn\'t have classes, so he didn\'t have to wake up early. Moreover, he had been busy late into the night the day before.
Tang Bingyun also slept until late morning. When she woke up, she complained about Wang Haoran making her late for work. She searched for her clothes all over the living room, kitchen, balcony, and bedroom.
...
(In a tranquil mountain villa)
Qiu Qianwei was practicing piano in the villa\'s music room.
She had high musical talent and worked diligently.
In a few days, it would be her solo concert. She planned to seclude herself for a few days to practice the piano pieces she would perform at the concert.
However, she practiced one of the difficult piano pieces, and played it repeatedly, but was still unsatisfied. The reason for her dissatisfaction was simply that the connection between several notes in the piece was not perfect.
Although most musicians wouldn\'t notice these flaws, Qiu Qianwei was very strict with herself. Certainly, she would not allow herself to have such flaws.
She took a few deep breaths, calmed her mind, and continued to practice the difficult piano piece. However, even after practicing it ten times, flaws still existed.
These flaws were not caused by her musical sense, but by her finger technique, which made her feel somewhat frustrated.
"Miss Qiu, I noticed you\'ve been playing the same piece almost all morning. Are you facing a problem?" The maid who was cleaning the house noticed that Qiu Qianwei seemed a bit troubled and asked in confusion.
"Just a small challenge, but I should... I should be able to solve it soon," Qiu Qianwei replied, although she felt doubtful inside.
"Miss Qiu, there\'s a piano prodigy trending on TikTok who seems to be playing the same piece. Why don\'t you go and see how he plays it?" The maid, with slightly low emotional intelligence, directly offered a suggestion to Qiu Qianwei.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Qianwei frowned.
What level was she at? An international piano prodigy! What was TikTok? Mostly just a platform for attention-seeking amateur musicians. Asking her, an international piano prodigy, to learn from an amateur musician? It was simply absurd!
"Miss Qiu, I... I\'ll go clean up," the maid said, realizing she had said the wrong thing when she saw Qiu Qianwei\'s expression. She then went off to do her chores, feeling crestfallen.
Feeling a bit frustrated, Qiu Qianwei took out her phone and scrolled through her WeChat moments to ease her mood.
Soon, she noticed a strange phenomenon in her WeChat moments. Five of her friends reposted a short video titled "Piano God" from TikTok.
This left Qiu Qianwei puzzled. It was understandable that the maid, with her low emotional intelligence, admired this so-called "Piano God." But why were her few friends, who had a higher appreciation for music, reposting such a video? What was going on?
Curious, Qiu Qianwei clicked on the short video to watch it. The video was shot from the side, showing a man with a heavily pixelated face playing the Third Piano Concerto on a new piano.
As they say it only takes a glance for an expert to tell, after hearing less than ten notes, Qiu Qianwei was amazed. This "Piano God" seemed to have some real skill!
Adjusting her mindset, Qiu Qianwei listened carefully, and her mouth widened in astonishment as she continued to listen.
By the time the Third Piano Concerto finished, Qiu Qianwei was so astonished that she could fit a large duck egg in her mouth.
