"What additional reward?" Gao Fei immediately asked curiously.
But the system did not reply, instead asking him if he wanted to continue the simulation.
"Continue simulation!"
[Simulation started!]
[Year 18, you failed the college entrance exam. To avoid the same experience, you didn't continue as a resident pianist at the coffee shop, but instead began to wander around the country.]
[Year 23, in five years, you have traveled through half the country. You heard pianists of different styles and, with your constant practice, your level has reached Grade 8. Only then did you realize that life experience is linked to piano proficiency. In the past, you only learned within a narrow scope because of a woman.]
[Year 27, you have traveled all over the country and met many like-minded pianists. You have heard their insights on piano and appreciated their different performances. At this point, you have reached Level 9 and are preparing to travel the world.]
[Year 33, you have traveled through half the world. You are no longer young. Eleven years of traveling have allowed you to meet many pianists, big and small, and your pursuit of piano levels has gradually calmed down. You have begun to create your own music!]
[Year 35, in two years, you have composed a piano piece called "Dream". Coincidentally, a world-class pianist friend invited you to his concert. At the end of the concert, your friend asked you to play your own piece. In front of pianists from various countries, you played "Dream," which you created over two years. When you finished, you were met with thunderous applause. Ultimately, you died of cerebral hemorrhage due to being overly excited at the scene!]
[Simulation ended, 180 simulation points consumed, 900,000 Dragon Country currency deducted!]
[Obtained Top Pianist skill, feedback starting!]
Died of cerebral hemorrhage?
Gao Fei was utterly enraged!
He died, so what about the promised reward?
"Dog system, where is my additional reward?
You used up 900,000 of mine, and I got no reward, right?"
Gao Fei cursed and roared at the system.
[Additional Reward: A book of piano scores by famous musicians from your previous life, and your original composition "Dream"!]
As the system's voice fell, the life feedback for the Top Pianist skill also arrived.
After the feedback ended, Gao Fei, in a daze, experienced the mental journey of becoming a top master in the simulator, feeling a sense of realism.
But this feeling only lasted for a moment.
He exhaled, closed his eyes, and browsed the book of piano scores by famous musicians from his previous life on the system panel.
The top ten global piano pieces from his previous life were all in the scorebook.
Gao Fei was somewhat satisfied with this reward.
However, becoming a top pianist cost him two million Dragon Country currency, which made him feel a pang of pain.
If two million could only simulate one top profession, he could simulate four more.
Gao Fei pondered for a moment, his tone slightly softened, "Well... system, I still want to simulate five professions.
Can we negotiate? Is 8 million for five professions acceptable?"
[Host, please state the professions you wish to simulate first, so the system can make a reference and judgment.]
"My five professions are very simple and will not be related to the technology industry!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Gao Fei immediately said, "I want to simulate the professions of Calligraphy Master, Top Painter, Sculpture Master, Opera Master, and Top Gourmet!
Can these five professions be simulated for 8 million?"
[Yes, but the simulated professions may not reach the top level. They might be around the intermediate level!]
"It's fine, as long as they can be simulated!"
[Please confirm, Host, whether you want to simulate five professions for 8 million.]
"I am very sure, let's start!"
Gao Fei replied confidently.
Simulating five professions for 8 million was a profitable deal with no losses.
[Since the Host has made a decision, please be mentally prepared.]
Hearing the system's prompt, Gao Fei suddenly had a bad premonition.
He felt like the dog system was about to trick him!
[Simulation started!]
[Year 18, you were admitted to an ordinary university. By chance, you were attracted to a teacher's calligraphy and began to seek his guidance in calligraphy...]
[Year 18, you were admitted to an art academy, but you lacked exceptional talent and were just a diligent art student...]
[Year 18, you failed the college entrance exam and followed an old carpenter to learn his trade. However, you didn't know that your master was a world-renowned sculpture master, capable of carving not only wood but also jade and other objects...]
[Year 18, you were admitted to a third-rate university, planning to just get by for four years until graduation. Unexpectedly, your outstanding appearance, physique, and voice caught the eye of a teacher who taught you opera...]
[Year 18, because your college entrance exam scores were too low, you finally gritted your teeth and went to a vocational college to specialize in cuisine, determined to become a top gourmet...]
The simulator in the system suddenly simulated five professions simultaneously.
At first, Gao Fei didn't notice anything unusual.
But as the years in the simulator increased, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if he had a bad cold.
The dizzy feeling gradually disappeared only after the initial stages of the five professions were simulated.
But as a new round of life simulation began, Gao Fei returned to the same dizzy feeling.
In the second round of life simulation, he not only felt dizzy but also exhausted.
As fatigue set in, Gao Fei frowned.
He was lying in bed simulating life, so why did he feel physically exhausted?
All sensations disappeared after the intermediate stage simulation ended.
But at this moment, Gao Fei was drenched in sweat, as if he had just completed a strenuous workout.
Before he could ask the system what was going on, a new round of life simulation had already begun.
With the start of the third round of simulation, the dizziness and fatigue returned to his body.
Lying in bed, Gao Fei gasped for breath, his skin covered in dense sweat.
Because the third round of simulation usually involved many years.
At this moment, the simulation years for the five professions were advancing simultaneously.
Gao Fei felt weak all over, his face extremely pale, his body as if hollowed out, with a sense of emptiness and detachment.
In this state of detachment, Gao Fei suddenly saw an old man with white hair holding a brush, standing under a spotlight, writing powerful calligraphy.
He blinked, and the old man holding the brush disappeared. In front of him was a man in his forties holding a paintbrush and painting on stage.
"Am I hallucinating?"
At this moment, Gao Fei's thoughts were in disarray.
The man painting disappeared, and a fifty-year-old middle-aged man in a suit stood in front of an exhibition stand, and he could vaguely hear people bidding.
The scene shifted.
Suddenly, Gao Fei heard opera music, and a martial arts performer in opera costume appeared before him. The black and red and white painted face gave the man an imposing aura.
The martial arts performer singing on stage dissolved into scattered light spots and disappeared from his sight.
The next second, a fifty-year-old man in a golden silk chef's uniform appeared. He held a wok in his left hand and a ladle in his right, stir-frying a dish that was about to be served over a high flame.
The rich aroma emanating from the dish stimulated Gao Fei's nostrils.
The five men, dressed in different professional attire, rotated in front of Gao Fei like illusions.
His body was rapidly being depleted, and his brain felt as heavy as a thousand-pound stone.
Suddenly, Gao Fei's head felt like it was about to explode, causing immense pain.
The five men in the illusion seemed to come alive, staring at him and smiling.
