"Very nice music." Lu Xi walked around the flower bed after the music stopped.
The flower bed is in the shape of a crescent, half surrounding the activity equipment in the corner. The NPC named Sirius is sitting in the center of the flower bed, and the flowers on both sides seem to be surrounding him.
Lu Xi walked over and saw Sirius' appearance.
Sirius is a man whose appearance fits the impression of a musician. He is very thin. He is probably in his thirties or forties, but the years have not left any traces on his face, only the melancholy look in his eyes. , adding to the experience of time.
He was wearing a top that looked like a brown woolen sweater, paired with a pair of black suit-like trousers, his hair was neatly combed, and one of his long windbreakers was draped on the flower bed next to him.
Holding a beautiful instrument that looked like a harp in his arms, his pale and slender fingers fell on the strings, easily making a pleasant sound.
"Good afternoon, Miss Lucy." Sirius did not stand up, but just nodded.
Of course, Lu Xi could completely understand Sirius's approach. After all, the harp in his arms was a full one and a half meters tall and was not a small instrument that could be easily moved.
I’ve seen people holding violins in salutes, but I’ve never seen people carrying cellos in salutes.
"Good afternoon, Sirius, what's the name of this piece of music?" Lu Xi took the initiative to open the topic. She had already discovered that the residents of this farm had different personalities. Some of them she didn't need to speak at all, and she just went through the conversation herself. It's over.
For others, if she doesn't speak, the conversation will never be triggered.
Therefore, Lu Xi has gradually become accustomed to taking the initiative, finding topics to chat on his own, and does not have to worry about going off topic. As soon as the conversation starts, they will bring the topic to the task.
Moreover, the mission characteristics of most NPCs can be found in many details about them. Entering the dialogue from these places will most likely not go wrong.
"It's just a chant of the wind, not enough to be called a song." Sirius smiled softly. Unexpectedly, he was not as serious as he seemed on the outside.
"The singing of the wind?" Lu Xi thought for a moment, what kind of adjective is this, or does it describe a fact?
"The wind is always on the road. It never stops. Sometimes it is very happy and sings a song through the sounds of all things." Sirius plucked the strings and a long musical sound sounded.
"The leaves are the instruments of the wind, and so are the flowers. The ripples on the water are also the hem of your skirt."
As soon as Sirius' voice fell, a gust of wind from an unknown direction blew past, gently blowing up Lu Xi's skirt.
"You see, the wind is so happy."
Lu Xi's eyes were blank for a moment. It was over. She was a little clueless. What should she say next.
Fortunately, by this point in the conversation, Lu Xi no longer needed to speak, and Sirius could continue talking on his own.
"Do you like music very much? Miss Lucy." Sirius asked with a smile.
Lu Xi nodded quickly, "I like it." This is obviously an important plot choice. Even if you don't like it, you still have to choose to like it!
"Then, this gift is for you." Sirius stretched out his hand, and an item in the shape of a wooden box came out of his hand.
It was a music box with an extremely classical appearance, only the size of a palm. Lu Xi reached out to take it, curiously pressed the switch, and a burst of unknown music suddenly sounded.
"This is a piece of music I composed when I was young. It may not sound perfect now, but when is life perfect? If you hear the music at this time in the future, it will definitely be filled with a lot of things. It’s a flaw.”
After the song was played, Sirius spoke and let out a very philosophical sigh.
Lu Xi held the music box, feeling particularly confused.
Sirius didn't care about Lu Xi's confusion. He still spoke gently and explained the music box to Lu Xi, "This music box has the function of storing sounds. If at any time, you encounter a beautiful sound, you can Use it to record it.”
"When you record enough beautiful sounds, it will become a very beautiful piece of music."
[System notification: Congratulations to the player for unlocking the "Music Box" function. You can record the surrounding sounds at any time, and you can also play the music recorded inside the music box at any time. 】
[Side mission·Wonderful music: The famous musician Sirius has given you his music box and hopes that you can use this music box to record the beautiful music around you and gather it into a piece of music. Please complete it. idea. 】
[Task reward: 1000 experience points, 100 racial reputation points, and an invitation letter. 】
Lu Xi immediately noticed the "racial reputation value". This was something she had never seen before. Even when she was on earth, this kind of thing had never appeared in the game "Leisure Farm".
So, is this something that was modified after the game system was integrated with the other world?
Ever since Lu Xi saw more and more lingering traces of items from the earth on the farm, she understood that her "golden finger" came from nowhere and was forcibly fused to The product of this world.
It was Lu Xi's consistent policy to put all the things she didn't understand into the back and prioritize the things in front of her, so she quickly put aside the chaotic thoughts in her mind and looked at Sirius.
Sirius had put away his huge harp instrument in a case the size of a small suitcase.
It was probably some kind of elemental magic weapon. Lu Xi could clearly see that the huge harp began to get smaller as it approached the suitcase, until it shrunk to a size that could be stored in it, and was put into the suitcase by Sirius. in the box.
Sirius held his suitcase in one hand and picked up the windbreaker lying aside with the other hand, making a farewell gesture, "It's time for me to leave, Miss Lucy."
"Oh, okay." Lu Xi raised his hand and waved as usual, "Goodbye then."
Sirius laughed, seemingly because of Lu Xi's reaction, "Well, goodbye, Miss Lucy. By the way, my student Peter is here too. He is a good kid full of talent and has some knowledge of music. If you need anything, you can go to him for help.”
[System notification: Sirius reminds you that "Side mission·Beautiful Music" can be completed by asking for Peter's help. 】
Lu Xi glanced at the system notification with a little annoyance. She knew, she understood, why did she even have to remind her of this!
Sirius' figure had disappeared around the corner of the road. Lu Xi looked at it and was suddenly stunned for a moment. He thought of something and clicked on the map in the upper right corner to check it out.
For those resident NPCs that you already know, their home addresses and their personal locations have been marked in detail on the map.
There are only a few addresses that have not been lit up yet, but none of them fit the identity of "musician".
Moreover, Lu Xi could not find the character mark representing "Siris" on the map.
In other words, Sirius, the NPC, is not actually a resident of the farm. He has never even lived on the farm.
Lu Xi looked at the "Good Luck" Buff next to her avatar, so is this also a kind of good luck that allowed her to meet a "special NPC" that doesn't appear often?
Lu Xi thought about the "racial reputation" again. If Sirius was a "special NPC", then this mission reward would be very reasonable.
Originally, he wanted to visit other residents, but thinking of Sirius's special nature and the relevance of the side mission, Lu Xi decided to visit Peter first.
Peter is the son of carpenter Kent. When Lu Xi first came to the carpenter's house, Peter was playing with his musical instruments in the yard.
He seems to be a very shy and quiet young man. He is not good at words. He has no other hobbies except music. He doesn't even want to socialize with others at all. He just lives in his own world.
The reason why Lu Xi made this judgment was that she had already walked around Peter four or five times, from "Hi~" to "Hello!", "Hello?", "Hello?", "Peter?" …
No matter how Lu Xi greeted him, Peter seemed not to hear him at all and continued to play with the instrument in his hand, making sporadic music.
Lu Xi was not someone who would give up easily. This was reflected in her great patience in enduring Peter's lack of response, and then she picked up carpenter Kent's ax from the side and chopped it down hard.
... What he was cutting was firewood, and Lu Xi couldn't do anything to hurt others.
She was really a little angry, so she picked up an ax and chopped down the firewood in the carpenter's house to vent her emotions.
But even though Lu Xi was going crazy beside him, Peter was still immersed in his own world.
The instrument in Peter's hand is very much like a smaller version of a harp, but there are many differences in details. Compared with Sirius's harp, it is probably like the difference between a violin and a cello.
Lu Xi had nothing to do with Peter, so he became quiet and sat helplessly listening to the music played by Peter. As he listened, Lu Xi suddenly felt that the sound seemed quite pleasant.
The side mission asked her to record the beautiful sounds around her. How could such beautiful music not be included in it? Lu Xi couldn't help but take out the music box given by Sirius and turn on the recording function.
"This belongs to the teacher." Peter, who had never paid attention to Lu Xi, suddenly put down the instrument in his hand and looked straight at the music box in Lu Xi's hand.
Lu Xi looked at the music box and then at Peter, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Yes, yes, Mr. Sirius gave it to me."
"Why?" Peter didn't understand.
Maybe he was asking why he gave it to Lu Xi, or maybe he was asking why he gave away such a precious music box.
Lu Xi smiled broadly, "That's right, Mr. Sirius, he said he wanted to find someone to help him record those beautiful sounds to create a piece of music, so he found me."
Peter listened attentively.
"Then, Mr. Sirius said that he has a student who is very talented, so I can find his student to help me complete this matter." Lu Xi did not lie or exaggerate the facts, but Her tone was full of incitement, as if she was coaxing an ignorant teenager.
"I understand." Peter nodded seriously without any doubt, "I will try my best to help you."
"You can hand the music box to me." After Peter began to respond to Lu Xi, he suddenly revealed another side of his personality, "If I use the music box, it can play more roles."
He looked down on Lu Xi. No, it should be said that he looked down on Lu Xi's musical level.
"Did you just plan to record my music? Please forgive me, it is not a beautiful sound, it is just the soulless howl of the instrument, and it is no different from the sound of you just chopping wood. ."
Lu Xi took a deep breath, and a series of inelegant curse words floated through her mind. She stared at Peter with wide eyes. Did Peter know all the things she just did next to her? !
He just didn't want to pay attention to Lu Xi, so he just watched her go crazy? ? ?
"Great, I come from a legal world." Lu Xi put the music box heavily into Peter's hand and said this with a smile.
If she hadn't killed anyone before, she would have let Peter know the dangers of the world.
After Peter got the music box, he didn't even look at Lu Xi. He lowered his head and studied it carefully. He didn't even plan to give Lu Xi a response.
Lu Xi tightened his grip on the ax again.
"Do you want to record the sound of chopping wood?" Peter raised his head, frowning, as if he was really confused and dissatisfied.
Lu Xi stared at Peter for several times, holding the ax in his hand again and again, but in the end the humanity in his heart took over.
She let Peter go, and she let herself go.
After leaving the music box with Peter, Lu Xi left the carpenter's house. After the system unlocked the music box function, the effects of the music box could also be used through the game panel.
This is why Lu Xi agreed to leave the music box to Peter.
While walking on the road, Lu Xi studied the new "Music Box" function. This function is right next to the system settings. After clicking in, there are three pages, one for finished music, one for recording materials, and the other for music editing.
The next two pages are empty for the time being, and nothing has been entered. However, on the first page, there is a CD-like icon with the words "Sirius - Eleventh Movement" written on it.
Clicking on the play button, the sound of the music, whose source was unknown, immediately enveloped Lu Xi as he was walking on the road. The sound was looped and played in an all-round way. It was full of dynamics. Lu Xi directly became a human-shaped speaker. Wherever he went, the music was played. .
And this song was exactly the song that Lu Xi had heard before, the song that Sirius wrote when he was young and what he called an imperfect song.
After Lu Xi listened to the song again, he suddenly realized that the function of this music box is background music!
From now on, she is also a person who brings her own BGM when she appears?
Lu Xi was just thinking about how shocked he would be for Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo when he appeared in front of them like this, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xi.
It was a very handsome man, wearing a romantic traveler's suit, leather armor with straps, a soft cloak fixed at the shoulders with gems, and a hat decorated with feathers.
The most peculiar thing is that he is holding a cyan crystal ball in his hand.
When I used to write articles, I would always run over and punch the quilt twice after writing a little bit.
Wait until the emotions are vented before continuing with the coding.
Now that I have a dog, things are much better.
Call the dog directly, slap the dog twice, and then continue coding.
