Chapter 110: 84. On the night where Jiutiao was located, the system did not lend a helping hand.

"Ding ding dong, ding ding dong, the bells go jingle all the way..."

"Meiji?"

"Fifteen minutes left."

"What fifteen minutes? July?" Sensitive to beginnings and ends of the month due to the system, Dubian Che asked.

"I told you, didn’t I? I have to check your homework in July."

The sound of Jiutiao Meiji’s voice from the other side of the phone, although lazy in tone, seemed spirited.

It would be noon on her side.

"Now?"

"Of course."

"Playing the oboe in the middle of the night will disturb the neighbors."

"That’s your problem." There was no surprise in her capriciousness.

"...Alright. Just a moment."

Walking south from Dubian Che’s rented apartment, getting close to the Marunouchi Line, one could see a stretch of moat.

Every evening, the riverbank is crowded with people cooling off and walking dogs, as well as street performers who, for some reason, are always singing sad songs like "Sakura wants to see you."

By late night, this section of the moat is left with only drunken passers-by or couples sneaking around.

The call switched to video mode halfway, and while walking towards the riverbank, Dubian Che told Jiutiao Meiji all these messy things.

Jiutiao Meiji was probably on a balcony, with white curtains fluttering in the wind, lying closed-eyed in a comfortable chair.

Every time Dubian Che thought she had fallen asleep, she would let out a faint, indifferent hum.

Dubian placed the phone on a bench under a tree by the river. Illuminated by a distant streetlight, his image in the front-facing camera was somewhat blurry.

His pale face was tinted yellow, but it did not detract from his handsomeness at all.

He’d come here to practice every day for a week; this spot had become his usual place.

His fingers found the right keys, and he tuned the sound.

"Starting now."

Jiutiao Meiji in the phone seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed, which reminded Dubian Che of the time she was woken up by the discordant performance of the Wind Instrument Club in the concert hall.

Dubian Che inhaled slightly, and the moment his fingers pressed the keys, his breath flowed into the reed...

...

The solo ended.

"How was it?" Dubian Che asked.

"Did you learn it before?"

"Do you think I could have afforded an oboe before? Besides the recorder from elementary school, I haven’t touched any musical instrument."

Jiutiao Meiji scoffed: "You think I’m a fool? Without any basics, who could learn the oboe in half a month? Not to mention you’ve already far exceeded a student’s level."

You know!

"Maybe it’s because I have a tiny bit of talent," Dubian Che gestured slightly with his index finger and thumb.

Jiutiao Meiji’s mouth twisted with a mocking smile, giving him a ’keep lying to me’ look.

"Of course, the most, most, most, most important reason," he continued.

"Mhm."

"It’s my unrivaled love for you, Meiji. Isn’t it amazing? Merely because I don’t want to disappoint you, striving to play the best sound for you, I was able to learn the oboe in half a month!"

The Jiutiao Meiji on the phone screen seemed speechless and disgusted, pressing her lips together and slightly turning her head away as if she couldn’t bear to watch.

"Okay, continue," she said with a disinterested wave of her hand.

Dubian Che breathed a sigh of relief and resumed playing.

The gentle tones and melodious tune were like the gospel in a Catholic church, the sound of the instrument gliding across the surface of the moat and blending into the summer night.

Jiutiao Meiji watched Dubian Che’s blurred figure on the screen, listening intently.

The noises of the outside world seemed to vanish, leaving only the sound of Dubian Che’s oboe in her ears.

Lights danced in her eyes, and the world erupted in a burst of color.

The video call ended at one in the morning on July 1st.

Dubian Che looked at the call duration of one hour and fifteen minutes and marveled at how time could fly by so swiftly.

Strutting his stuff in front of the high school Wind Instrument Club was not something Dubian Che wanted to do, nor would it provide him any pride.

What he craved was for Jiutiao Meijie to become immersed in his music!

Just moments ago, the fastidious Jiutiao Meijie had listened intently for over an hour, the sense of satisfaction it brought him was indescribable.

Dubian Che faced the moat and stretched out in a big yawn.

It was late at night, and the Wind Instrument Club had more practice tomorrow, but he was in no rush to go home for a shower and sleep.

After feeling the night breeze for a while, and once his leg had been bitten by a mosquito, Dubian Che pocketed his phone, picked up his oboe, and strolled back to his rental home at a leisurely pace.

After his shower, applying medicine on the mosquito bite, Dubian Che opened his system.

[New Item: Weather Forecast]

[Weather Forecast: Purchase it once, and obtain the weather conditions around the globe for the next thirty days (accuracy of one hundred percent, no more carrying an umbrella and it not raining).]

"..."

Just how tedious and random can this system marketplace be?

Dubian Che considered himself to be exceptionally learned, having perused novels from all eras and cultures, yet he had never seen a "Weather Forecast" in any system marketplace!

Other than unexpectedly vanishing at sea, to avoid a storm, he really couldn’t think of any other situation where it would be worth spending a thousand points to predict the weather.

And that damned fruit knife!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Dubian Che, out of sight, out of mind, swiped down on the [Panel], and the five skills of July appeared.

[Skills: Entry-level—Gambling (100), Master—Wind Bowl Dance (1000), Master Level—Writing (10,000), Grandmaster—Tank Gunner (100,000)]

"Tank Gunner? What tank? What kind of gunner?"

The knowledgeable Dubian Che, when facing issues, had a lot of thoughts.

He clicked to view the explanation.

[Tank Gunner: The turret speaks justice, the caliber speaks truth, hitting your target while moving is not about blind luck.]

It was indeed a Tank Gunner!

Where could he find a tank?!

And it was only the gunner skill, what about the driver? The commander?

Dubian Che had felt a tiny surge of excitement when he first saw the name, thinking the system promoted harmony, and it actually turned out to be a skill he’d definitely purchase although he wouldn’t need it at the moment.

Entry-level Gambling was also useless.

He was not short of money, and even if he were, he wasn’t interested in gambling.

Master Level Wind Bowl Dance... Dubian Che had to look it up on Wikipedia to find out that it was a folk dance from a region in Fushan County in the Island Country.

Reportedly, to the accompaniment of the melancholic and plaintive melody of the three-stringed instrument and the Huqin, the dance is graceful and...

To hell with it.

Master Level Writing, without Jiutiao Meijie, Dubian Che would seriously consider whether to exchange for it.

He was not too invested in the idea of ’conquering girls, earning points, becoming omnipotent’.

Becoming a novelist or a light novel writer, with the freedom to choose his own working hours and living location, and without the need for social interactions, was indeed his ideal carefree life.

But in reality, Dubian Che had no freedom to choose his career.

However, it could go either way.

What if the system kept being unimpressive, and he didn’t become amazing in a few years, and he ended up with Jiutiao Meijie, she would have no choice but to accept if he wanted to be an author, right?

’Wait a minute, once I’m the Jiutiao Family’s son-in-law, why am I still thinking about living a life with deadlines as a writer?’

Another month of fruitless waiting.

Dubian Che turned off the system and fell asleep headfirst.
