Hu Qiang's Decision

Chapter 266 As long as I don't work hard, fate will not succeed

No matter what, this team building activity similar to the game of truth is finally over.

Although there are many unsatisfactory places in it, it is good in general, especially for Hu Qiang, he has gained a lot.

A reward of 3 yuan, plus an advanced violin skill, is enough to heal Hu Qiang's shame of wearing the hat of a liar for three days, and the depression of signing an unequal treaty with Ouyang Murphy.

In the spirit of repaying the debt early and relaxing, Hu Qiang called Ouyang Murphy after get off work, and wanted to treat her to dinner earlier and end those unequal treaties earlier.

It's a pity that Ouyang Murphy still couldn't get through the phone, and still left an automatic message, but no one answered.

In desperation, Hu Qiang had no choice but to leave a message to Ouyang Mofei on WeChat, asking her to invite her to dinner and a movie, so as to end the suffering as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Ouyang Murphy quickly replied that she is not free now, so we can talk about it another day.

Hu Qiang was relieved by this reply, but at the same time sighed.

Because this means that you don't know when you will be able to pay off the debt.

But what is even more frightening is that he still has a little expectation in his heart, which is what makes Hu Qiang really afraid.

"It's all an illusion, an illusion! I just want to be in debt, that's all."

After talking to himself and giving himself an explanation, Hu Qiang stopped thinking about it and went to a piano store with great interest.

He is going to buy a violin and realize his childhood dream!

Well, at this time, the advantages of the super-first-tier cities in Shanghai are greatly reflected.

If it were changed to the second-tier city where Hu Qiang lived in his previous life, it would be late at night, and most of the piano shops would have closed long ago, so it would be impossible to continue operating.

But here, even at night, even if it is far past the off-duty point, there are still many piano shops open for business. In terms of convenience, it is really convenient.

Hu Qiang has limited understanding of the violin itself, so he can only go to a big piano store to buy it based on the principle that the more expensive the better.

He also checked the violin on the Internet before, and found that if he only pursues good timbre, a domestic handmade violin of about [-] to [-] is already professional enough, and no matter how high it is, it is a guqin for pretense, and the improvement of timbre is actually very limited. At least most people can't hear it.

Moreover, stringed instruments such as violins are different from pianos and the like. The sound quality has a little relationship with the price, but there is no necessary relationship.

Many pianos with very cheap prices may have a tone comparable to those worth 10,000+.

This is because for things like violins, a really good violin needs to be handmade. Almost every violin has a slightly different timbre. It is not just quantified by the price. The key is to choose and test the sound in person. Trial piano.

Relatively speaking, the big piano shop has more funds, more pianos, and more handmade pianos by senior luthiers, so the chance of a good piano is greater.

Of course, on the whole, the more expensive the piano, the better it is, there is no doubt about it.

After all, everyone is not an idiot. Buyers and sellers of pianos know the sound quality. Unless the quality of the material and the quality of the piano are not good, unless it is a genuine antique, they dare not ask for a random price.

The kind of practice piano with a very cheap price, but the timbre is similar to that of a 10,000+ performance-grade piano. It is more likely to appear in legends, and it is no different from picking up leaks.

Soon, Hu Qiang took a taxi to a nearby piano store he searched online.

The name of this piano store is "Friends". It is a chain store with a large scale and a good reputation. It is said that it is very famous in the local area and represents many well-known brands of musical instruments, such as pianos, violins, cellos and the like.

Hu Qiang belongs to the person who suddenly has professional-level violin playing skills. Without a long learning time, he naturally lacks enough precipitation, at least not enough understanding of the violin itself.

Unlike other people who grew up playing the violin, while learning to play the violin, they also generally have to learn how to maintain the violin, how to tune it, and even how to choose a violin.

Hu Qiang doesn't know all these skills, he can only play the piano simply, and this is also one of the disadvantages of the system's skills, that is, it is professional enough and high-end enough, but not comprehensive enough.

For example, among Hu Qiang's skills, there are top-level Chinese massage, proficient Huayang acupuncture, and advanced Chinese medicine blending. Strictly speaking, these three skills can be regarded as abilities in Chinese medicine. Normally, they must be learned together to improve Effective, but the system must be provided separately.

And the levels here are also a bit interesting, top-level, proficient, and advanced, they all feel different.

Since the system did not give a detailed explanation, according to Hu Qiang's understanding in practice, the top level should be the highest level, similar to the genius master level of the skill.

The proficiency level should be slightly lower than the top level, which means sincerity and mastery of sensing. If it is a musical instrument, it is probably similar to the highest level that ordinary people can achieve.

Advanced is better than proficient again, similar to professional level, like professional teachers in a super-class music academy, or professional teachers in a super-class medical school.

There should be intermediate and elementary levels below, but so far Hu Qiang has not obtained this level of ability, so he is not good at judging.

In short, for a person like Hu Qiang who has first-class playing skills and almost no ability to pick pianos, it is absolutely right to go to a big piano store to buy expensive pianos.

"Sir, what do you think of this violin? All European materials, pure handwork, clear sound, full of magnetism, it is definitely a high-end performance-level violin!"

Hu Qiang picked up the violin recommended by the boss, looked around, and felt that the appearance and feel were not bad, but he didn't know how the actual tone would be.

So, Hu Qiang asked the boss to adjust the sound, and he wanted to try it himself.

The boss was also unambiguous, decisively adjusted the sound, and brought a special bow for the sound test.

There is no way, the new bow is not filled with rosin, so there is no sound.

Hu Qiang took the bow from the other party, put the violin on his shoulder and tried to pull it.

As soon as he plucked the strings, there was a familiar feeling immediately, as if he had played the guitar before, as if he had pulled it thousands of times.

Closed his eyes slightly, Hu Qiang silently thought of a classic "Meditation", and then his hands began to move.

Soon, a piece of meditation flowed from the violin in Hu Qiang's hands. The sound was bright and mellow. It's hard to say the subtleties, but the overall feeling is similar to that of a violin solo at a concert.

Although the price is a little expensive at [-], it is worth it just because of the sound.

Hu Qiang tried the other two violins of [-] and [-], and found that the sound quality of these two pianos was indeed different from that of [-].

Although the treble part is similar, the midrange part is not as full-bodied as the [-], and if you listen carefully, the sound of the cheap piano is not delicate enough under the same pitch conditions.

As for the [-], I feel that the timbre is not much different from the [-], and it sounds like the same level.

If it is higher, there will be none here.

Because the violins worth more than [-] yuan are generally imported violins, you have to go to other big violin shops, such as the bosom friend headquarters.

The piano shops here mainly focus on popular pianos that cost no more than [-] yuan, and they don't buy high-end pianos.

Of course, it is not impossible, but it has to be customized in advance. If you buy it on the spot, it will definitely be out of stock.

However, according to what the store manager said, in fact, when it reaches the level above [-], there is not much difference in sound quality from domestic handmade pianos of around [-].

Unless your price exceeds 50 or more, then you can find the gap again, but the gap is still very small, only professionals can feel it, and ordinary people can't detect it.

After choosing and choosing, Hu Qiang finally chose the [-] one, because he was more acceptable to him at this price.

It's not that he can't afford it at [-], but that it's unnecessary.

His current income is high, but he still understands the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

Who can guarantee that the system will always exist, and who can guarantee that the system rewards will always exist?

Therefore, taking advantage of the strong rewards now, save a lot of money, and then save money to buy a house is serious.

With money in hand, don't panic.

When I completely become a multi-millionaire, it's not too late to spend some extravagance.

Now, it's better to be simple.

Otherwise, it doesn't match my identity.

After choosing Qin, Hu Qiang added WeChat with the boss.

This is mainly for the convenience of asking the boss how to maintain the piano and how to adjust the pitch at any time in the future.

Because according to the boss, if the violin is not used for a long time, the strings should be loosened at ordinary times, and the strings should be temporarily adjusted to adjust the pitch when playing.

Experts can tune the strings by feeling. If you don't understand, you can use a tuner, or simply download a tuner on your mobile phone.

Hu Qiang came here anyway, so he simply learned to tune the strings from the boss for a while, and didn't finish until after the meeting.

After such tossing, nearly an hour passed. Fortunately, there were not many guests coming at this time, and Hu Qiang bought a relatively expensive piano, so the boss still taught him very patiently.

After waiting for the boss to teach him, Hu Qiang began to try to tune the strings by himself.

Just as Hu Qiang kept bowing his head to loosen the strings and then tuned the strings, hoping to master this technique as soon as possible, suddenly a slightly familiar voice appeared beside him.

"Hey, Brother Aqiang, is it really you?"

Hearing someone calling Brother Aqiang, Hu Qiang didn't pay attention at first, thinking he was calling someone else.

But soon, Hu Qiang felt that something was wrong, because the voice always felt a little familiar, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

Turning his head, he immediately saw a young girl with a coat and a short skirt, blond hair carrying a guitar, and a pair of big eyes.

"It's you?" Hu Qiang asked in surprise.

Yes, this is the girl dressed as a maid who was live broadcasting on the side of the road in the middle of the night. At that time, Hu Qiang asked her to borrow a guitar for a mission, and played and sang a song in her live broadcast room.

At that time, Hu Qiang didn't say his real name, leaving only A Qiang's code name, and then because of embarrassment, he hurriedly dragged Ouyang Murphy away.

I thought it was just an accident, and I would never see Ma Li again, but I didn't expect to see him here again.

"That's right, it's me!" The blond girl with big eyes smiled, "My name is Ma Li, do you remember me?"

"Yes, Ma Li." Hu Qiang smiled, "What a coincidence, we meet again."

"Do you know each other?" the boss asked suddenly.

"We know each other." Ma Li said first, "We are old friends, but we are familiar!"

Upon hearing this, the boss nodded with a smile: "In that case, you can talk slowly, and call me if you need anything."

After finishing speaking, the owner of the piano store walked away with great eyesight.

Hu Qiang frowned slightly, but quickly put on a professional smile.

Well, how should I put it, in fact, Hu Qiang doesn't like to associate with such a girl. After all, Ouyang Murphy is enough, and another non-mainstream, um, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it.

But most importantly, seeing Ma Li, Hu Qiang thought of the shameful performance that night, so he instinctively wanted to avoid her.

What?Did Ouyang Murphy see it too?

It's not because she is my colleague, so I can't avoid it.

What's more, Ouyang Murphy has seen many embarrassing things about Hu Qiang, so he doesn't care about that one.

Thinking of this, Hu Qiang quickly put away the violin: "Cough! Then what, I have something else to do, so let's go first, take your time..."

"Don't!" Ma Li interrupted Hu Qiang's words and said with a smile.

"It's rare to meet you, Great God, here, I can't let you run away again!

You don’t know, last time because of your performance that night, I gained 50 fans overnight, and my income soared, and I found a relatively stable job. I haven’t had a chance to thank you And you!
It's rare to meet you now, so don't miss it!

How about this, you haven't eaten yet, how about I treat you to dinner?

I can't afford it if it's too expensive, how about I treat you to a barbecue? "

Hu Qiang frowned, and was about to subconsciously refuse, but the system suddenly sent a task:
[You have triggered a new mission. 】

[Accept Ma Li's invitation, have dinner with Ma Li, reward 1 yuan. 】

Seeing this, Hu Qiang raised his eyebrows and immediately changed his mind.

That's right, Hu Qiang just hasn't eaten yet, and is planning to go out for a meal.

Since the other party took the initiative to treat guests, eating with her can earn system rewards, so why not do it?
As for whether it will cause love debt...

Are you kidding me, this Ma Li looks like a millennial in her early twenties, there is a big age gap with her, so it is unlikely that she will call.

No matter how narcissistic Hu Qiang is, he wouldn't be so narcissistic.

In other words, he could be more narcissistic in his previous life. After all, he was whiter, taller, and more handsome in his previous life than he is now.

But today's Hu Qiang is, um, just averagely handsome, and he's still a middle-aged uncle, so he probably doesn't have much appeal to young girls.

There is a high probability that the other party really just wants to thank himself.

"Alright." Thinking of this, Hu Qiang smiled, "It happens that I'm hungry too, since you're willing to treat me, let's eat something nearby."

"Great!" Ma Li immediately smiled and snapped her fingers, "I thought you were going to reject me, but who knew... Come on, I was thinking about it, Brother Aqiang, wait for me, I'll go talk to the boss first Check out, let's go eat after paying the bill!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Li rolled her eyes, suddenly took off the guitar case on her body, and put it in Hu Qiang's hand: "Uncle, help me have a look."

Hu Qiang looked at the guitar case in his hand, then at Ma Li, and suddenly smiled: "Are you afraid that I will lie to you, or that I will run away?"

Ma Li chuckled: "How can I do it? It's really too heavy and inconvenient. Please help me look."

Speaking of this, Ma Li turned around: "That's it, wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go!"

After finishing speaking, Ma Li stomped away.

After Ma Li walked away, Hu Qiang looked at the violin he had just put away, then at the guitar case Ma Li had given him, and shook his head slightly.

"It's true that life is full of surprises. I didn't expect to meet acquaintances even when I came here to buy a piano."

Thinking of this, Hu Qiang suddenly frowned: "No, there are so many people, and it's not a TV series, how could it be such a coincidence?
I was so hot and handsome in my last life, much more handsome than now, and I have never encountered such a good thing?

Wait, it can't be the ghost of some kind of good fortune, right? "

That's right, Hu Qiang remembered that after the little companion incident, he had rewarded a big gift package for a broken relationship, and there was something called "Peach Blossom Luck" in it.

The peach blossom luck, only said to increase a little love luck for him, and then there was no other explanation.

At first, Hu Qiang didn't care about it, but now it seems that the luck of the peach blossoms may be to increase his relationship with the opposite sex.

If this is nothing, then the tasks triggered by the system should be even more vigilant.

Hu Qiang has met many people and women since he traveled, but not all of them can trigger system tasks.

But for this Ma Li, before, the system sent him a task asking him to take the initiative to find someone to borrow a piano to sing, and now the system sends him a task asking him to accept the other party's invitation to have dinner with him.

No matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a forced mediation.

After a little thought, Hu Qiang suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, I'll be a sugar-coated cannonball."

"The great man said it well, when you encounter sugar-coated shells, eat the sugar-coated shells and return the shells."

"As the saying goes, a slap can't make a sound."

"As long as I don't work hard, the fate will not be fulfilled, so I'm still afraid."

"I'm not even afraid of Murphy, but you little girl? What a joke!"

Thinking of this, Hu Qiang instantly felt calm and no longer anxious.

So what?
We cannot be together by fate.

Or just be good friends.

Just like how he got along with that Kochi female neighbor Ye Zhenzhen.

As for Ouyang Murphy... Forget it, she is a special case, so don't consider it.

In short, the most important thing in life is to be happy.

At the very least, it would be nice to have a cute girl as a friend, and to have dinner together if you have nothing to do.

Before that, I took pictures by myself.

Keep the bottom line and wait as usual, this is the kingly way!
