Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 63 - 60 Impeccable Performance



Chapter 63: Chapter 60 Impeccable Performance

Su Huai was overjoyed, almost itching to immediately spin the grand “Favorability Lucky Wheel” that covered all under heaven.

However, he ultimately resisted the urge, as the two BOSSes were discussing arrangements for Gu Jiuyue, and he needed to listen carefully.

“Yueyue usually stays at my place. If she has classes in the North One or North Two buildings in the morning, she can go back to the dormitory for a noon rest…”

Zhang Yaowen voiced some concerns, “Our department’s classrooms are quite scattered, it’s quite a hassle to travel between them…”

“No big issue, vehicles can enter the family housing area, so if she has classes in the north, we can use the main roads for pick up and drop off.”

“Alright, as for the dormitory, we’ve arranged for her to stay in the graduate dorms, four to a room, with beds above and desks below. You know, with our school’s facilities, that’s the best we can do…”

...

In the midst of the discussion, Gu Jiuyue didn’t make a sound.

To Su Huai, it seemed like she didn’t care about those matters at all, as if any arrangement would be fine.

Laid-back?

No, no, no, it was more like a form of self-isolation.

Su Huai suddenly felt a bit of a headache coming on.

Gu Jiuyue had many good qualities, but her introversion and self-isolation were difficult to handle.

With such low desires and stable emotions, how can one boost favorability?

No wonder she had been single for so many years, with no man able to enter her heart…

Su Huai quietly sighed and braced himself for a drawn-out battle, planning to take things slowly.

On the bright side, her rewards must be particularly generous, right?

Seeing that the conversation between the two had become more intricate and less pertinent to him, Su Huai decided to test his hypothesis.

Here we go!

While quietly spinning the Favorability Lucky Wheel, Su Huai watched the pointer intently, then saw it pass the 100,000 pet food sector and stop in the red zone.

Oh yeah, second prize!

Not bad at all!

The next second, the reward exploded, and a prompt appeared.

[Congratulations, Host, for drawing Gu Jiuyue’s Piano Level 10. You’ve gained Proficiency in Staff Notation, Sight-Playing Piano, Basic Music Knowledge, Basic Music Appreciation Ability, and your fingers have been modified and improved, body size +2]

A flood of knowledge poured into his mind and was quickly assimilated by Su Huai.

In just a few seconds, he had transformed from a super off-key prince who knew nothing about music to an amateur piano master who still sang off-key but now possessed a basic musical literacy.

Discreetly moving his middle and ring fingers, Gou Huai looked quite astonished.

“Wow! What a reward…”

Just 10 Favorability points could yield such an incredible reward?

How many skills and talents does she have within her?!

The higher the Favorability Rating, the stronger the rewards drawn—a basic rule.

Therefore, Gu Jiuyue must possess a considerable amount of high-level abilities for Piano Level 10 to be a prize at the 10-point tier.

Right, must emphasize this point—Gu Jiuyue’s Piano Level 10 is not like the crash-coursed certification Level 10 from training classes.

Though they’re both amateur Level 10 with the same certificates, most students actually don’t reach the “normal level 10” standards and literacy.

Training institutions, you know how it is.

They undergo intensive training focused on exam pieces. The kids suffer, they indeed get the certificates, but they don’t have the capability to perform on stage.

It’s like playing a game, skipping all side quests and rushing through the game with the bare minimum just for the sake of clearing it. The main thrust is that the end justifies the means.

But Gu Jiuyue is different; she has genuinely received many years of formal education and tirelessly reached the level of a 6th grader at the Attached Primary School of the Central Conservatory of Music step by step.

Don’t underestimate a primary school student, as the middle school students are all talented anomalies…

With his current level, Su Huai could now perform on stage at any time, sight-playing any popular piece, such as the ubiquitously played “Für Elise” or “Dream Wedding,” among others.

He finally understood the difference between Lang Lang, Richard Clayderman, and Maxim.

He could even scientifically analyze how he managed to sing so off-key, though, of course, it didn’t mean much since being able to play the piano doesn’t cure off-key singing…

All in all, this lottery draw saved him at least 10 years of hard work—perhaps even more.

A person naturally devoid of musical talent somehow acquired a Level 10 piano skill, and Su Huai finally started to climb the social ladder, quite the pleasant news.

Well, just thank Gu and that’s it, applause!

After enjoying the moment, Su Huai lifted his head again and listened to Professor Cheng and Zhang Yaowen discuss Gu Jiuyue’s socialization issues after her enrollment.

“Yueyue is reserved and has always lacked friends. The family is hoping that after she goes to college, she’ll experience friendship and laugh more… Is there anyone in the class who is more lively? Either boys or girls will do.”

Professor Cheng was open-minded and didn’t mind Gu Jiuyue making some friends of the opposite sex.

But Zhang Yaowen was stumped and turned his head to look at Su Huai.

“I’m not very familiar with the specific situations in the class. Su, you tell us.”

Su Huai was taken aback, then immediately inwardly groaned.

This task was not easy, testing one’s social intelligence, quick wit, and even interpersonal skills.

It was likely that Professor Cheng truly wanted to scout out a few lively and extroverted playmates for his granddaughter, but Su Huai neither should nor could go around chattering and assessing each classmate’s personality like a gossip.

Firstly, it would be too sycophantic; secondly, it would appear nosy; thirdly, it wasn’t classy; and fourthly, what if he misjudged someone?

In short, it was all downsides, not a single upside.

However, since Director Zhang had already called on him, it clearly left no room for him to back down.

Luckily, just yesterday he had added 9 points to his “Dual Intelligence,” which gave Su Huai the opportunity to fully utilize his past life’s experience.

“Alright.”

Su Huai nodded confidently, and instead of starting with “such and such’s personality is like this,” he portrayed the broader picture of the Big Data class.

“Our class is a unique gem in the department, and Mr. Wang Zhi has a rather laissez-faire nature, so in the last few days, the class has established a basic consensus: we need to be more united.

All the students have a clear understanding of this, and they consciously keep it in mind when acting.

From what I can see right now, the boys are getting along very harmoniously and those with particularly vibrant personalities also manage to fully respect others.

The girls inevitably have some minor conflicts, but everyone is quite restrained and can generally achieve mutual understanding and consideration.

If we delegate the mediation authority to the dorm leaders, letting them form the habit of resolving issues internally, the overall atmosphere won’t be bad.

It’s still early days, but if we continue to develop in this way, I believe the Big Data class will become a tightly-knit collective that is united in friendship, intimate and trusting, peaceful and free, and everyone will become true friends.

Minor personality differences won’t be an obstacle, nor should they be overemphasized.”

This somewhat tangential reply precisely eased Professor Cheng’s worries.

Is she just looking for two good-natured playmates?

No, she was actually concerned about whether Gu Jiuyue would fit into the group, make friends, or face isolation and even exclusion.

Not only did Su Huai find the exact concern, but he also provided the remedy.

“Good, really good!”

Professor Cheng grinned widely, expressing high praise.

“Su really did well, being a class president with such a sense of the big picture.”

Zhang Yaowen looked approvingly at Su Huai, smiling and shaking his head: “He’s just a bit clever, but he does indeed take the class seriously.”

“Give credit where credit is due. Don’t always stick to your old ways.”

Professor Cheng rebutted Zhang Yaowen, then smilingly extended an invitation to Su Huai.

“Su, if you have time this weekend, come over to our place for dinner. It’s in the residential area on the west side. It’s just the two of us old folks and Yueyue at home, usually dead quiet, so don’t worry about disturbing us, come over whenever you have time!”

“Sure, I’ll definitely visit if I get the chance.”

He gave the expected response, but Su Huai didn’t take it to heart, let alone get overly excited and lost in thought.

The main thing is to be mentally prepared.

A casual word in happiness from others isn’t tantamount to a mandate.

Unless Professor Cheng extends a third invitation, Su Huai won’t truly take it upon himself to visit.

Such a calm and measured response finally elicited a reaction from Gu Jiuyue—

She lifted her head and gave Su Huai a gentle glance.
