Chapter 7: Acquire a New Identity as a Wandering Musician

Chapter 7 Obtaining a new identity - Wandering Musician

Purple air?

Chen Ye was a little surprised.

This is a sign of luck related to "Tengda"!

If it appears on a person's head, it means that the other party may be able to help him with "noble luck".

Moreover, Chen Ye also noticed that in addition to the purple clouds above the head of the erhu old man, a ray of golden light was faintly visible from the purple light. On the top floor, a faint blue covered the sky, and the outer ring of white mist was steaming and lingering. The blue sky was clear, surrounded by golden scales, and the weather was magnificent...

"There is actually a trace of golden luck hidden in it?"

Chen Ye was extremely surprised.

Gold is a sign of destiny.

The luck aura of the erhu old man is really rich!

White, blue, purple, gold...

Various luck auras are intertwined, and there is even gold mixed in it. Could it be that he is in charge of destiny?

The identity of the erhu old man immediately became mysterious.

However.

For some reason, when Chen Ye saw the aura of luck, he suddenly felt a sense of reunion after a long absence.

That inexplicable intimacy seemed to connect this aura of luck with Chen Ye's own luck aura.

It was like returning home.

Suddenly, Chen Ye realized that his eyes had been on the old man playing the erhu for a while.

The characteristic of the wanderer's eyes being hated was not triggered?

The old man playing the erhu didn't seem to care about Chen Ye's gaze at all, just playing the erhu by himself.

Chen Ye heard that the melody of this song was "Lullaby", and suddenly felt nostalgic.

When he was a child, because it was difficult to fall asleep at night, the family squeezed into a small room of less than 40 square meters, just listening to their parents humming lullabies and slowly falling asleep.

The quiet melody came melodiously, as if bringing memories back to childhood.

Until the melody gradually stopped.

The old man playing the erhu only then set his eyes on Chen Ye, with a kind face, waved his hand, and motioned Chen Ye to come over.

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and observed with the pupil of luck, and found that the luck halo above his head, instead of running to the colors related to evil spirits such as "black" and "blood", there was a faint purple rhyme flowing.

Just now, the blood-black evil spirit on the head of the old lady who almost sold herself to the chestnut seller was almost rushing straight to the top of her head!

But facing the old man Erhu, similar luck halos did not exist.

Even...

Purple air began to come out!

Combined with the characteristics of [Wanderers], the more you walk, the easier it is to meet help from fellow wanderers.

Judging from the clothes of the old man Erhu, he was wearing a tattered shirt, as if he had worn it for dozens of years. After countless wind and sun, the clothes became wrinkled. Although it looked much more complete than what Chen Ye wore, it was still not much better.

Presumably, they were both [Wanderers], so they were so miserable.

And according to the characteristics, being able to get help from the other party was within the rules.

Chen Ye walked over obediently, not only because of the purple aura of luck, which indicated that the other party might have good luck with him.

That kind feeling also made him do such a move.

"Young man, you are very talented in music."

The erhu old man smiled.

Uh... do you mean that my tone-deafness, singing out of tune, screaming in high pitch, and playing the piano can make the neighbor next door come to check the water meter?

Chen Ye complained in his heart and wanted to say something humble and polite, but after thinking about it, he had already come to "Strange Era", why should he be polite to the strange?

So, after a moment of silence, he said:

"It's okay..."

The erhu old man smiled and took out an instrument from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ye.

"You are very talented in the road of music. This is a gift for you."

Chen Ye looked closely and saw that the top of this double-reed woodwind instrument was equipped with a thin brass tube, and the hollow part was made of sandalwood. The bowl-shaped trumpet was yellow and worn, and it was the same color as the iron bowl used for begging.

Suona!

Chen Ye did not expect that the instrument the other party gave him was a rogue instrument known as the "King of Music"!

Moreover, the structure of this suona is really hard to describe.

It is hard to guess... whether the old man put the begging bowl on the suona, or another suona was dismantled and used as a begging bowl.

Facing the "generous gift" given by the erhu old man, Chen Ye fell into hesitation.

He did not doubt that the other party would have the intention to harm him, but according to the rules of "Strange Era", the equivalent exchange theorem is almost everywhere.

If this theorem is not followed, then fate will make you pay the corresponding price.

Therefore, Chen Ye did not accept the gift from the old man Erhu immediately, and was about to refuse...

At this moment, the old man Erhu smiled and said: "I am old, I don't have enough energy, and I can't play. This suona is useless."

"You just lack a skill to make a living, why don't you stay with me and make a living with music."

"Hehe, I am old and useless. In the future, I may have to rely on you to perform to survive."

"It can be regarded as leaving a way out for me."

Chen Ye was stunned. He didn't expect that the old man Erhu would actually reveal his thoughts.

In this way, it did not violate the theorem of equivalent exchange.

The old man Erhu meant to give Chen Ye a skill to make a living, so that when he gets old, he can also have an apprentice to rely on.

Chen Ye currently lacks a stable source of food. Following the old man Erhu might help him get through the early stages.

After all, the weirdness and danger of this city are too great. He was almost sent away by the old lady selling chestnuts just now...

Chen Ye thought about it and felt that following the old man Erhu might not be an unacceptable choice.

Firstly, he currently lacks a stable source of food. This is his first time to land in a dungeon. Although he has the game rules of the internal test in his mind, after the bloody countdown event, the game landed in reality and he found that the situation here is somewhat different from that of ordinary dungeons.

For example, the old lady selling chestnuts is obviously not a very friendly weird to novices.

If it weren't for the help of the old man Erhu, he would probably have to play GG at the beginning.

This kind of difficult weirdness only appears in high-difficulty dungeons... This forced Chen Ye to rethink his current situation.

Secondly, the old man Erhu is also a "wandering existence". They are of the same kind and have no fixed place to live. Even if they make a living by music, they will not have a fixed place to perform. They can play the characteristics of [wanderers], and they can also steadily increase their weirdness value by wandering.

If there is no stable source of income, it is impossible to wander around every day, 24 hours a day, right?

According to Chen Ye's current judgment, it is the best choice to follow the erhu old man for the time being.

This is also a manifestation of the [Wanderer] characteristic.

Finally.

Chen Ye took the suona from the erhu old man.

"Ding!"

The bloody mobile phone suddenly popped up a reminder.

[Congratulations on obtaining a "Musician" characteristic. ]

[Wanderer] + [Musician] = [Wandering Musician]!

[You have obtained a new identity - Wandering Musician! ]

[Strangeness value +500!]
