My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 311 - 261: The Guilty Complain First (Part 2)

Regarding this, the latter has been working hard, even specifically finding a student from Beihua Normal University of Music to teach her music theory and how to play instruments, striving to excel in both academics and the arts.

"I can basically play ’The Song of the Earth’ and ’All Spirits’ on the guitar now, but it’s not fluent enough, and I can’t sing while playing. Plus, I always feel that just using the guitar sounds a bit flat, missing out on several instruments, the Mingse Drum, Galaqin... I still don’t know which real-world instruments to use as substitutes. Their tones are too unique, without them it feels like there’s no soul!"

Li Peifeng suggested, "How about electronic music? You can use software on the computer to create any sound you want, haven’t you tried it?"

"Xiaofeng, you’re giving me too much credit..."

Wu Wenyue felt quite speechless: "With learning from dreams and a private lesson every day recently, I can barely stay on pitch when singing, and I recognize piano and guitar scores now, and you want me to learn electronic music? If I could figure that out, I might as well start composing myself."

"Nonsense, of course you need to learn how to compose yourself."

Li Peifeng encouraged her, "You learned music, didn’t you? If you can’t compose, how can you transcribe the songs from your dreams? It’s simply impossible, like expecting someone to copy a Van Gogh painting just by looking at it once. There’s no logic in that, and the same goes for music."

"And about those Otherworld songs, you need to work on them. I can help polish the lyrics, but you must get the tunes right. Let’s aim to produce a single within half a year at the latest. When my new book is out, I can definitely use it. Online novels with theme songs are super cool!"

Wu Wenyue felt a bit frustrated, "I’ll try my best. I originally thought transcribing songs would be as simple as copying them in those rebirth or plagiarist novels... The protagonist travels and can effortlessly jot down songs from the future... But these are two music systems, and I have to hum and find corresponding scales. It’s hard, I should have known not to learn music in dreams back then!"

Li Peifeng smiled silently and then asked, "What about the War Dance? I remember you also learned the Elf Race’s War Dance. Filming that must look good, although some moves are a bit difficult. But you took the medicine, so it should be fine. You could discuss with Gu Jinyu, consider which music to use, and how to re-choreograph it, have you tried?"

"It’s impossible, my muscle memory is gone when I wake up, and I’ve forgotten half the dance moves. By the way, do you still have any of that Strength Pill the old immortal gave you? It’s too effective; Manning and I are almost out!"

Wu Wenyue’s tone was quite expectant, but Li Peifeng had to disappoint her. Since they discovered the miraculous effects of the Peiyuan Pill, they kept asking about its origin. Mr. Li spun a rather flimsy mythological story as an excuse.

"I’ve told you many times, there’s no more medicine. Plus, taking too much of it causes Dan-toxic. You can’t take it too frequently. Hmm, anything else? If not, I’ll hang up."

Actually, Li Peifeng already slightly regretted giving out the Peiyuan Pill. Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning were almost out of it, constantly asking for more, and Zhao Qingge had subtly hinted at wanting some too.

What man can withstand the repeated requests from three women? It’s simply untenable!

Even Li Peifeng couldn’t withstand it, so he made up another lie that too much consumption would lead to Dan-toxic, similar to coaxing a child, but with immortal pills given by an immortal, mere mortals can’t handle too much, which is logical as well...

"Wait, don’t hang up yet. Are you outside? Where are you going?"

Li Peifeng cleared his throat, "I’m going to grab dinner and then head home to continue writing my paper and working on my new book."

Wu Wenyue didn’t overthink it, "Then come to my studio, we just got a 200,000 project. We’re going out to celebrate. You can come, and we can also chat about recruiting actors. I feel like our studio should expand a little now."

Li Peifeng stopped in his tracks, looked up at the hot pot restaurant’s sign before him, then at He Yimeng inside waving at him through the floor-to-ceiling window, hesitated a bit but replied honestly, "Someone else asked to meet to discuss something, so you guys go ahead, I’ll catch up with you in an hour."

Wu Wenyue was silent for a moment before her tone turned a bit subtle, "Someone else? A woman? What does she want?"

"It is a girl, but just a regular friend."

Faced with Wu Wenyue’s questioning, Li Peifeng tried to respond with a casual tone, "She intends to start a business but lacks funds and wants me as a seed investor. Treating me to dinner is to discuss this. Brother Yue, don’t overthink it, she asked first, and I’m not one to break promises. After an hour, this will be done, and I’ll definitely come to you."

"What would I overthink?"

Wu Wenyue chuckled, "Just a normal friend, right? A seed investment? In an hour, are you going to invest billions in her? No need to be stingy, just invest thoroughly, invest until you’ve got a wild seed... damn you, you sneaky little scumbag! Wait till Manning gets back, I wonder if I should let her in on this so we can both deal with you!!"

In the end, Wu Wenyue couldn’t hold back, cursing as she hung up the phone.

She didn’t immediately snitch because Xu Manning was not in the Capital right now but had taken a team of designers under her command to a southern city for work. Wu Wenyue didn’t want to interfere with her work at this moment.

Since the launch of the True Self sub-brand and its minor success, Miss Xu has proven her capabilities to her parents and other company executives. She has fully transformed from an intern president to the second president within Sen Meng, and her mother, Xue Ya, has started to gradually delegate power, giving Xu Manning the opportunity to handle things independently.
