Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao's erhu piece "Butterfly Lovers" slowly began to unfold, fueled by the anticipation of the four people outside. Wang Hao's advanced erhu skills kicked in, and the quiet surroundings amplified the evocative power of the music.

Coupled with Wang Hao's terrifying mental strength, these factors combined allowed him to enter a state of enlightenment with a clear consciousness, rather than the hazy feeling he'd experienced before.

In this state, the evocative power of Wang Hao's erhu music increased exponentially. The terrifying effect instantly pulled the four people watching the live broadcast outside, as well as Wang Hao himself, into the world of the Butterfly Lovers.

In that world, they seemed to witness the entire process of the two protagonists meeting, getting to know each other, and falling in love. During this time, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly, much like an 'auntie smile.' How many people wouldn't yearn for such innocent youth?

The youthful vitality and sweet love between the two seemed to come to life in the hearts of the listeners through the rhythm of the erhu. Although they should have been mere bystanders, they couldn't help but immerse themselves in the beautiful emotions.

However, as the rhythm of the erhu became more intense, tragic scenes began to appear, causing them to feel anxious. Separation, resistance to marriage, and finally, the transformation into butterflies, pushed the emotional fluctuations of the audience to a climax.

This visceral experience caused the three emotional women to shed tears, but they didn't cry out loud, afraid of disturbing the transmission of the music's emotions!

As an art professional, Peter was mostly rational, but his capacity for empathy was also very sensitive.

Although he didn't cry as much as the three women, his red eyes and slightly twitching movements were also releasing the emotions he felt.

Only Wang Hao, with his powerful mental strength, was able to remain detached. Although he was immersed in the music and truly felt the progressive layers of emotion, his own emotions were not disturbed.

As the last note fell, Wang Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of lyrical piece was indeed more likely to touch his heartstrings than pieces like "High Mountain Flowing Water."

After all, people have emotions. In addition to the erhu skill's powerful rendering and expression, there is also the inherent human ability to empathize. This makes the erhu piece "Butterfly Lovers" not particularly demanding in terms of technique, but much more powerful in terms of emotional impact.

"Congratulations, erhu advanced proficiency + 25. Current proficiency: erhu advanced 85 / 10000"

The cheat's notification appeared in front of Wang Hao as soon as the performance of "Butterfly Lovers" was completed.

"I actually got 25 points. Although this piece lasted a relatively long time, reaching more than fifteen minutes, this proficiency is quite a surprise. It seems that this kind of lyrical piece yields more proficiency than those soothing pieces!"

Wang Hao nodded as he looked at the 25 points of proficiency he had gained.

Although Peter was immersed in emotion, he didn't completely forget his job. Seeing Wang Hao finish playing, he quickly stopped the recording.

Then, while wiping away tears, he started clapping.

Throughout the entire process, the recording engineer didn't say a word, nor did he offer any guidance or ask Wang Hao to pause. He simply listened attentively, feeling the soul-stirring charm of the erhu, completely losing the awareness he should have had as a guide.

But Peter couldn't help it. With his ability, let alone guide, it was difficult to find flaws. Even if he wanted to nitpick, there had to be a hint of a flaw, but Wang Hao's performance didn't give him the chance!

The three women, who were immersed in the complex state of sadness and relief, were awakened by Peter's applause.

It was like being startled awake by a clap of thunder when you were sleeping soundly. Everyone felt a jolt.

Then they looked at Peter, the culprit, with angry expressions. Cheng Yufei and Li Nan didn't want to make a fuss, but they frowned and looked displeased. After all, they had only met him twice, so it wasn't good to be too demanding of others, especially since this was praise for Brother Wang.

But the front desk girl, who had been awakened, didn't have this restraint. After so much contact, the two were already familiar, and they didn't hold back when they joked around.

"Ma~ Peter, do you want to die? Making such a loud noise, you've ruined such a good mood!" The front desk girl shouted angrily!

At this time, she was furious and didn't care about calling him Brother Ma, directly calling him by his full name!

Before, Peter said that Wang Hao, this man in his thirties, was a musical master. She was still skeptical, but after the piece "Butterfly Lovers" came out, she completely affirmed this evaluation.

Although she didn't know what the standard of a master was, if it was like Wang Hao, then she could be sure that the other party was a musical master!

The front desk girl's words also expressed the feelings of Cheng Yufei and Li Nan. Women are inherently emotional creatures, and their ability to empathize in terms of emotions is not something Peter can compare to.

The joy and sorrow in Wang Hao's erhu "Butterfly Lovers" made them feel both a sense of detached emotion and a sense of personal involvement. The two factors were superimposed and promoted each other, allowing their feelings to be amplified to an unprecedented level.

Peter naturally couldn't understand this emotion, which is why he did something that would ruin the atmosphere.

After being told off by the front desk girl, Peter apologized to the three women. Just now, he was just following his feelings, thinking that the music played by the master was too wonderful, which is why he couldn't help himself.

But he forgot that there were three women beside him, and quickly lowered his stance. He didn't expect the usually gentle and lovely front desk girl to explode so fiercely.

"It seems that no matter what type of woman, they are not easy to mess with after an emotional outburst." Peter thought to himself.

When the emotions of the people stabilized, Peter connected to Wang Hao's headset and said with a sigh: "Brother Hao, you gave me a knockout right from the start. This piece you played is too captivating!

This piece is perfect overall, impeccable, but it's too tragic. We can't handle it. Let's do something cheerful next, otherwise, I'm afraid of being ganged up on by these three women!"

Peter praised without any concealment. In the end, he seemed to run out of words and felt that he hadn't expressed himself well enough, so he could only add an exaggerated expression to complete it.

Listening to Peter's suggestion, Wang Hao nodded slightly. Indeed, lyricism doesn't necessarily have to be this kind of emotional ups and downs, it can also be a calm statement, endowing ordinary life with extraordinary emotions.

Then, he readily made an OK gesture and began the second piece.
