Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone!
I'm so sorry! Due to health reasons and some other practical reasons, the author has been absent for another five days.
(He bows his head and kneels down, showing sincerity.)
Updates will resume starting tomorrow. I will try my best to catch up on the chapters I missed this month during the holiday.
And next time, I'll remember to write leave notes for everyone! (Bows head down again.)
Chapter 318 What is this "Flawless"?
After the opera performance ended, at Miss Yun Jin's invitation, everyone went to visit the Yunhan Society.
"This is the training ground. I've been practicing all kinds of basic skills here since I was a child."
What are the basic skills?
"Standing meditation, movements, vocal exercises, and so on..."
"Is it fun?"
"At first it might seem fun, but later it just feels tedious. The pain from leg stretches, the boredom of memorizing rhymes, the hoarseness and swelling in the throat—I only managed to persevere by gritting my teeth..."
"That sounds really tough."
"Yes, but my current fame is the result of my hard work back then."
"After the clouds disperse, the moon will shine brightly."
"Uh-huh!"
"There are so many weapons over there!"
"Those are actually just props for our performances; none of them have been sharpened."
"Yaoyao, there are guns over there. Can you show everyone how you've learned to shoot? I'll take a picture of you."
"Okay!"
The little girl ran over excitedly, picked up a long spear from the weapon rack with both hands, and exclaimed with wide, bright eyes, "So light!"
Yun Jin nodded and smiled, "Because they are all specially made and hollow inside, they are lighter."
"It's probably for the convenience of the performance."
"Yes, it's also for safety reasons. There are often fight scenes in Liyue's games, with wide-ranging and flamboyant moves. If a weapon accidentally slips from someone's hand and hits a guest in the audience, it would be too dangerous."
"I see!"
The little girl weighed the spear in her hand and swung it around.
The atmosphere on the field suddenly became fierce and energetic.
Xia Zhi could tell that the moves of this spear technique were quite simple and sharp, belonging to the methods of warfare and defeating enemies.
From an aesthetic point of view, it is naturally not as good as Yun Jin's moves, but the little girl occasionally lets out a few sweet shouts, which makes her seem very cute and adorable.
After Yao Yao finished her performance, Xia Ci said with a smile, "Cousin, didn't you say you were going to perform a play for everyone?"
Yun Jin immediately looked at Xia Zhi, her face full of surprise: "Mr. Xia, are you going to perform opera?"
Although she had never heard Xia Zhi sing opera before, she had been instructed by him many times, so she naturally thought he was skilled in this art and had long been looking forward to it.
"I mean after we get back..."
"What does it matter? It's fine here."
"Yes!"
"very quiet."
"This is Yunhan Society's territory, they perform here..."
Yun Jin quickly replied, "It's alright! Mr. Xia, please feel free to do as you please."
Seeing everyone's high expectations, Xia Zhi smiled helplessly: "Alright, then I'll sing a song for everyone here, um... I'll sing 'The Goddess Splits the Temple'."
"Ok!"
Xia Zhi cleared his throat and slowly began to speak.
"How lamentable—..."
The lyrics were familiar, but the singing style was slightly different from Yun Jin's.
Xia Zhi used the [Music Master] ability of Grandma Ping to make its melody and rhythm more full and beautiful.
As Yun Jin listened, a strange, infatuated look appeared in her eyes.
After finishing the song, Xia Zhi said, "I didn't sing well, please forgive me."
"No way!"
"I think it sounds great!"
"Big brother is so awesome!"
Xia Zhi smiled and turned to Yun Jin: "What does Miss Yun Jin think?"
Yun Jin was completely convinced: "As expected of Mr. Xia."
Did you find anything just now?
"Yes! I've learned a lot! Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xia!"
After leaving the training ground, everyone went to the warehouse and saw a large number of costumes.
"many!"
"so beautiful!"
Yun Jin introduces the stories behind various opera costumes.
Xia Zhi naturally knew all of this. He looked around and found Shen He looking at a costume in the corner.
It was a red wedding dress costume, very festive.
Shen He watched for a while, then silently looked away.
Xia Zhi kept it in mind.
After visiting Yunhan Society, everyone strolled around outside, and Xia Ci bought some useless but fun things from a street stall.
At night.
Xia Zhi sat in his room and opened the system panel.
The above is a customized interface.
The exquisite glass lily jewelry that Xia Zhi used to make a deal with Mingxingzhai was custom-made from here.
For just 1 point, you can customize any style of item, limited to common materials.
Xia Zhi pointed his finger at it, and with a slight thought, the outline of a theatrical costume appeared on the system panel.
From his aesthetic point of view, the pattern on this costume still has some flaws.
Xia Zhi tapped her finger twice more, removing the imperfections.
Now it looks good.
"Is production confirmed?"
"determine."
A moment later, a gorgeous red theatrical costume appeared in his hands.
It feels silky smooth, like a piece of heaven, and there are no seams.
Xia Zhi stroked it and smiled.
If such a beautiful, seamless celestial garment were sold to Ningguang, she would probably be willing to pay no less than the price for the glass lily ornament from last time.
After all, compared to jewelry that can only be displayed indoors, clothes that can be worn out are more likely to showcase the owner's temperament and style.
Xia Zhi placed the costume on the bed and began processing today's welfare payment.
At one point, a soft knocking sound came from next door.
Shen He has arrived.
She immediately spotted the familiar costume on the bed and was momentarily stunned.
"Boss, this is..."
"A gift for you."
"Hey?"
"I noticed you seemed quite interested in this costume this afternoon, so I tried making one myself, making a few minor modifications. What do you think?"
"It looks even better."
