"cheers!"
Beside the dining table, Ciel, who was completely drunk, was screaming and cheering.
Bai Xi hugged Lao Fei and sat beside him, rolling his eyes helplessly. Ye Qingxuan smiled and continued to eat his dinner. Abraham was also rarely dragged out of the study today to participate in the celebration.
Having survived the first two rounds of the school anniversary test, Ciel was almost certain to graduate with enough credits. No wonder he was so happy: he had never thought that he would still have such a day to graduate.
"Angelou, here I come! World, here I come! Beautiful girls, here I come!" Charles screamed, running around the dining table excitedly to vent his excitement. Bai Xi was so annoyed by him that he couldn't move, stretched out his legs and tripped him to the carpet.
After falling for a while, Charles finally regained consciousness. He grabbed a tissue and stuffed his nostrils before crawling back to the table and continuing to finish his meal. Although he couldn't eat anymore, it was rare to have meat, so it was a pity to waste it!
Ye Qingxuan sighed helplessly: "Brother, don't get too happy too early. There will be the last round in two days."
"The last round is just pretending. What are you afraid of?"
Charles whistled: "Don't worry, with senior brother here, we will definitely be sure, there will be no problem!"
“…”
When Ye Qingxuan was full, he put down his fork and began to face the problem that he never wanted to face:
"—The last day of graduation work exhibition, how is your graduation work going?"
…
The last test, graduation work display, is a fixed program.
In fact, this is a sure thing, because as long as you make something, everyone will generally not find fault with this link. Even if you do the worst, you will only lose some credits.
For musicians, the graduation works of each college are completely different, which is determined by the local culture and the purpose of the college.
For example, the graduation project of Asgard's Rock and Iron Academy is a musician rowing down an icy abyss with a hook and a chain to hunt the monsters in it.
In Tianzhu, the students' works are in the form of "debating" and discussing music theory with their masters in the monastery.
In some places, the graduation project... is to kill one's teacher.
Of course, it is impossible for the Royal Academy of Music to use such cruel methods. Rather... the process is quite, well, "unique".
Two hundred years ago, when the college's graduation project was "composition", there was a sewer repairman in the college who was self-taught...
The self-taught repairman received exceptional admission to the college and graduated with honors. However, because his foundation was too weak and he was not good at composing, he used alternative methods to demonstrate his attainments in music theory.
—He applied for the right to use the "Requiem Fantasy" and then created new content... Yes, it was the same fantasy that everyone used when playing hide and seek on the first day, but it was hundreds of times smaller.
In that fantasy world, the musician needs to use note control to control a sewer repairman to go on adventures, defeat various monsters and devils, and save the snatched princess...
This graduation work was well received at the time and was unanimously welcomed by all students. It almost set off a storm in the musician world and swept various colleges around the world.
Some students who were seriously addicted even dropped out of school because of it. Later, this work was implanted by the alchemists in the format of a movement into the musician's portable tool, the ether ball, so that the majority of musicians could play it in their free time. Two handfuls.
From the school's perspective, this work not only demonstrates the author's attainment of music and mastery of music theory rules, but also involves the use of ether at the resonance level and the maker's ingenuity, etc...
In short, Ye Qingxuan didn't know what was going on.
Anyway, since then, graduation works have become this type.
Due to the huge workload, it is often completed by graduates. Basically, each department has its own proud works, among which the best of the year will be sent to the Holy City to receive criticism from musicians and be widely circulated.
Being able to be in the limelight like this while a student is a surefire way to become famous and file a case.
Over the years, excellent works have continued to emerge.
In order to produce their own graduation works, some people often start preparations a year before graduation. But for a guy like Charles, who has never thought about graduating and repeating a grade for ten thousand years, he has never thought about this aspect at all. Now he was cramming, and Ye Qingxuan didn't know if it was too late.
"There are only two days left. Senior brother, there won't be any trouble, right?"
"Don't worry, it's almost done!"
Charles drank wine and beat his chest wildly: "All the music theory in it is simply impeccable, highlighting my brilliant inspiration. Through this work, I expressed the impermanence of life, the changes in world affairs and the anxiety of fate, and also exaggerated the sadness of a last-ditch battle." The atmosphere is simply perfect!”
“…”
The more he listened to him, the more confused Ye Qingxuan felt: "Anyway, let's take it out and take a look first."
Ciel smiled mysteriously, snapped his fingers, and used the producer permissions temporarily granted to him by the school to activate the barrier.
Bang!
A low muffled sound.
An iron box about one and a half meters high suddenly appeared in the center of the hall. It looked like a recently developed refrigeration refrigerator. There was a lever with questionable function on the right side of the box.
In the center of the box, there are three vertically arranged wheels with various patterns painted on them. It seems that they can be turned by just pulling the lever. There is also a circle of dazzling colored lights surrounding the wheel.
All in all, it doesn’t look like a good thing!
"What the hell is this?"
Ye Qingxuan felt a little headache.
"My graduation project! Here, let me play it for you to see!"
Charles stepped forward and suddenly pulled the lever. Then, the entire machine suddenly emitted a burst of extremely sad nursery rhyme music.
The colored lights around the turntable shone brightly, dazzling those who were illuminated.
Then, the three wheels that were mostly embedded inside the machine began to rotate crazily, and the patterns on them changed like a revolving lantern, and finally stopped slowly.
At the end, there was a soft sound of coins colliding from the iron box, and a lot of coins fell out from the opening below amid the crazy flashing of colored lights.
“…”
Ye Qingxuan's entire body has turned to stone.
"this one?"
"this one."
Ciel nodded, "You only need to spend credits to use it. As long as the patterns on it are put into a certain combination, you can get different credits. There is no access to the credit calculator yet, so I will use coins instead. In short, after getting it done I finished two of them myself and couldn’t stop, I almost stuffed all my drink money in, and I haven’t taken it out yet.”
Ye Qingxuan felt that his eyes were darkened, and there were thousands of words that he could not express.
He walked around the machine twice, and finally his eyes fell on the three wheels: "This... what is painted on it?"
"As expected of my junior brother, he can always grasp the key points!"
Ciel whistled, "Look, this is the pineapple in the backyard of the Academy of Revelation, this is the banana in the backyard of the Royal Academy, this is the cherry in the backyard of the Academy of Change, and this, this is my proud work, senior brother, a stroke of Just draw a five-pointed star! How about it? Is it good? If you want to learn, I can teach you!"
"Um...why does the dog head look like Lao Fei?"
"It's Lao Fei!"
Charles slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Senior brother, I drew it stroke by stroke according to Lao Fei! How is it? Does it look like? This is the ultimate reward. If you shake out three Lao Fei, you can earn credits. Double it hundreds of times!”
Senior brother, your painting level is still at the stage of eight years old!
Ye Qingxuan no longer had the energy to speak, and just wanted to drink some wine to get drunk. But Charles still pulled him and talked endlessly about his design ideas and the bright future of this thing. In the end, he came up with the name.
"Well, how about I name him Blood Lion? Isn't he very domineering and mighty?"
"Why does this name have a subtle sense of deception? Besides, there is no blood or lion in it, right?"
"That's called 'Duke Nukem'!"
"veto."
"Diablo 4."
"Do you want to graduate in ten years? And you don't even have 123!"
"Half-Life 3?"
"Shut up!"
“…”
Charles talked for a long time and finally stopped. Ye Qingxuan was already dizzy and felt that his IQ was dropping like a plunge. In order to save the people of the college and keep their credits, the young man slapped the table angrily and announced:
"-In short, this thing is completely useless!"
…
Soon, they were back at the table.
Ye Qingxuan sighed, "In other words, senior brother, it took you a month to make a gambling machine?"
Charles was anxious: "I'm sure this thing is very promising! When the time comes, we will definitely be able to live a happy life of sleeping on the lapis lazuli just by licensing it!"
"...Senior brother, do you still want to graduate?"
Ye Qingxuan's words stuck in Charles's heart. He reluctantly sighed and gave up the idea: "At this point, there is no way to change the settings again. Where can we find a new script? ?”
"script?"
Bai Xi next to him smiled mischievously: "I have the script."
“…”
“…”
Ye Qingxuan and Xia Er looked at her as if they had seen a ghost. Bai Xi was a little bit shocked by this look, "Why are you looking at me like this? I occasionally want to contribute to everyone, okay?" !”
"Yi Zi..." Charles sighed with tears in his eyes, "Bai Xi has grown up."
Ye Qingxuan's eyes were also red and he wiped the corners of his eyes: "Well, senior brother, I'm so happy."
What answered them was the compound rune performance of "Source" and "Frost", and a large basin of ice water fell from the sky, cooling their hearts.
"Is it over yet?"
Bai Xi glared at them, "If you want it, don't forget it!"
"I want it!"
Ye Qingxuan nodded quickly. At least Bai Xi was willing to help. Even if he couldn't help, this heart made him and Xiaer feel happy.
Soon, with the two people talking and coaxing, Bai Xi finally revealed his plan.
"This work is called 'Warrior of the Soul'. In Tianzhu language, it is called Soul..."
