Chapter 379 Special Item: Masked Guitar Master’s Second Hand Guitar
When he arrived at the supermarket, Su Yang took out the piece of paper that he had written down the ingredients he needed and read through it again. ‘Compared to before, the ingredients used to make the recipe this time seems a little special.
‘Not only does this item not need any +1 items, the end product is supposed to be a second hand guitar. Not only that, it’s supposed to be a... model guitar.’ That’s right. The special item was a guitar, but Su Yang was going to be building a guitar model.
Su Yang was stunned when he saw the introduction to the recipe. “This is too perfunctory! ‘This special item might just be a crude product.
‘But since it’s a free recipe, I suppose there’s no harm in accepting it. What’s the worst that can happen? I could get another new special item next monday which is just in 3 days time which is wonderful.’
With that in mind, he stopped complaining. As he shopped in the supermarket, he bought what he needed. (Cylindrical Plastic Wrap), (Rubber Band), (Duct Tape), (Double-sided Tape], [Wrapping Paper) etc... After getting everything he needed, Su Yang even used his (Verbal Canon) skill to coax the supermarket’s cashier to give him a cardboard box.
Su Yang paid the bill and returned home with the stuff.
When he reached home, Su Yang brought the stuff into the virtual space and placed it on the dining table.
The production process this time is relatively simple. There’s no need to go to the courtyard.’
He casually rewatched the production video. After confirming that there was no problem, he clicked (Produce).
As Su Yang clicked on (Produce), some light noises were heard in the dining room, followed by a series of tools that appeared on the dining table.
Su Yang placed the video just above of his vision and officially started the process.
He first folded the box and then tied it with duct tape a few times.
Then, he used a compass to draw a large circle on the box before using his knife to carve out the circle along the drawn lines. After removing the circle, he picked up the electric drill and made 4 small holes at the bottom of the circle.
After everything was done, he stuck the cylindrical plastic wrap into the box and sealed it. Then, he picked up the spray paint and sprayed the shell and the cylindrical plastic wrap with paint.
In the end, Su Yang cut the rubber band and made it into a zither string. He tied it to the cardboard box and fixed it with a stapler. Thus, a simple guitar model was done.
Su Yang looked at the weird guitar model in his hand and the rows of green ticks that were displayed on the system. He felt that he was being mocked...
‘I managed to pass just like that? ‘The system has no limits anymore. ‘However, since the system has already determined that it’s done, I can’t be bothered to argue. It’s better than having to do it again!’ Hence, he simply clicked (Submit). As he clicked (Submit), everything on the table, including Su Yang’s guitar model, disappeared. Even the paint stains on the table disappeared.
‘I guess I can save myself from having to clean up now.’
Moments later, a small, palm-sized crystal guitar appeared out of thin air. Su Yang wanted to catch it reflexively, but he stopped just as he was about to catch it. He suddenly remembered, ‘I should not touch these items casually since it might have some negative abilities.’
While he was pondering, the crystal guitar fell onto the floor with a loud crack, then... it shattered with shards flying everywhere.
Su Yang was speechless.
‘It broke?
“Just like that?
“That’s just absurd!’
Su Yang looked at the broken pieces on the floor and was speechless. ‘Can this special item still be used?
‘I haven’t had such an experience before!
‘Should I patch it up?’
Su Yang squatted on the floor, looking worried.
After hesitating for a while, Su Yang decided, ‘Forget it, I’ll just leave it like that for now. I’ll wait and see if I can get the system’s evaluation before planning what to do next.
‘Normally, the system’s evaluation would appear within a few minutes. If it has not appeared after 10 minutes, that means that the special item is broken. In that case, I’ll just sweep it off and bin it or keep it as a supplementary material for the next special item.
Lying on the sofa, Su Yang summoned the virtual interface and browsed through the news aimlessly. He was thinking about what he could do to kill some time.
Before he could read the news, he suddenly received a WeChat message. ‘What? A WeChat message? ‘I wonder which little cutie is it this time?’
As Su Yang thought about it, he opened WeChat and quietly retracted the statement “little cutie” because... it was actually the genius, Li Runze who was looking for him.
Li Runze texted, ‘Here.’
‘I suppose he’s a genius for a reason. He sent a one word message as though he knew that I’d definitely be “here”.
Su Yang replied with the same word, ‘Yes.’
Li Runze replied, ‘I’m going back to school.’
Su Yang was confused. ‘He’s back to school now? There’s still half a month before school starts. Why’s he back so early?’
Su Yang asked, ‘Is something the matter?’ Li Runze replied, ‘The professor wants me to help with an experiment.’
Su Yang replied, ‘Artificial intelligence related?’
Li Runze replied. ‘Yes.’
The genius was so aloof that Su Yang did not know how to reply anymore. Through those monotonous sentences, Su Yang could even imagine the expressionless face he had. Su Yang thought that he was the one who had taken the initiative to chat with the genius.
He probed, ‘Then... shall we have a meal together someday?’
Li Runze replied, ‘Okay.’
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I really am taking the initiative to chat with him...’
Li Runze sent another message, ‘When?”
‘This is really his style of talking.’
Su Yang replied, ‘How about next weekend? I have something on over the weekdays.’
Li Runze replied again, ‘Okay.’ After the conversation ended, Su Yang felt that... ‘I’ve just lost a meal for no reason and I’ve even taken the initiative to chat with someone...
‘Li Runze was the one who had looked for me first! Why did it seem like it was the other way around? Also... why have I offered to treat him to a meal?’
Su Yang was puzzled.
Just as he was wondering who it was that actually had the (Verbal Canon) ability, the crystal guitar that fell onto the ground slowly started to glow.
The shattered pieces glowed simultaneously to form a web of light. Then, it rose into the air and slowly gathered to form a crystal guitar.
Su Yang did not notice everything that had happened. When he noticed the abnormality from the corner of his eye, he turned around and saw that the crystal guitar had returned to normal.
‘What? Didn’t it shatter just now? How is it patched up already?”.
Su Yang walked over and opened the system. The interface of the crystal guitar popped up.
(Special Item: The Masked Guitar Master’s Second Hand Guitar]
Ability: By placing this guitar onto other guitars, the two will merge together. The appearance of the guitar will not change, but they will become a world class guitar. When used, Proficiency +1, Vocal +2, Performance +2, Emotion +3.
Restriction 1: All effects +1 again on rainy days.
Restriction 2: User has to wear a mask before using this ability. Restriction 3: Increasing its abilities will not trigger any additional effects.
Note: I’m really sad, playing Chopin in the rain. Written by the Masked Guitar Master.
‘Well, this item seems interesting.’ Su Yang, who had always thought that the crystal guitar was completely useless, immediately went against his words. This guitar seems to be very useful. It might even be a godlike item if used correctly.’
Su Yang already had the basic ability to play the guitar plus an additional effect, [Elementary Talent: Voice Specialty).
However, ever since he had been a little popular for just a while, he has not used it again. This was because he felt that the ability was too low levelled for him to excel. He might have gained some popularity if he used it in school, but there were many others who were much better than him on the Internet.
However, things were different now. ‘With this special item, my guitar singing ability would become +1, which would be an intermediate ability and I’ve seen how impressive intermediate abilities are.
‘If I used it on a rainy day, my abilities would gain another +1. That should directly enable me to have high-level abilities!
‘I’ve never had this kind of ability before.
‘Maybe... I might get to have a different experience?
‘Not to mention, this guitar has more additional effects, Vocal +2, Performance +2, Emotion +3.
‘Although I don’t know how effective these+2 and +3 effects are, they shouldn’t be too bad.
‘After all, (Squid that didn’t like to dive] has similar effects. However, they were all +10. Based on how Chu Xia used it in the past, +10 should be the highest point one could achieve.
“That means, the +2 , +3 effects would become +3 and +4 on rainy days, it should become very useful by then.’
At that thought, Su Yang felt that he should try this new special item.
He hurried to the study to take out the cheap guitar that he had bought for 300 yuan earlier. He had not used it since the first time he played it.
Previously, he did not have the concept of good or bad guitar, but ever since he sang with the wandering guitarist, he felt that his cheap guitar was as good as the sound it made...
‘Except for the sound, it’s basically a piece of firewood...
‘However, this guitar can finally be used again!’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang took out the guitar and brought it to the living room. He then picked up the crystal guitar from the floor and placed it on the guitar.
Suddenly, the crystal guitar lit up and Su Yang closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the crystal guitar had disappeared, and the cheap guitar before him did not look any different. However, Su Yang could feel. The guitar seems to have... changed.’
‘I don’t feel pitiful for the crystal guitar to be merged with my cheap guitar since the crystal guitar can be removed whenever I want later.
‘Besides... The crystal guitar’s ability is to turn an ordinary guitar into a world class guitar. Even if I did merge it with a good guitar, the effect doesn’t change. So... it doesn’t really make a difference which guitar I use to merge it with.’
After figuring out the situation, Su Yang wanted to play the guitar.
However, at that moment, he suddenly remembered the new function after the system+2, [Achievement System).
‘In the [Achievement System), there seems to be an (Achievement) that requires me to gain 100,000 fans on the internet through my own guitar performance video.
“The Brick’s cooldown time is almost up. Could I use this new item to complete this achievement and obtain a bronze point?’
At that thought, Su Yang turned on the (Achievement System)...
