Chapter 2 Life is not easy, artifacts are used to sell art

After that, about half a year passed.

After the song was finished, Fu Changsheng slowly put away his zither, walked to the stage and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

Seeing Fu Changsheng put away his zither, Tushan Rongrong pointed at Fu Changsheng and asked sideways, “Isn’t he going to play anymore?”

“Oh, Mr. Fu plays the piano until dinner every day, and then he starts telling stories. It’s very interesting!” The fox demon on the side immediately explained.

Looking up, I saw Fu Changsheng standing on the stage, holding a folding fan and pacing slowly, looking a bit like a storyteller.

“The last book said that one day in ancient times, the sky was so hot that the eagle geese in the sky could hardly fly, and the fish in the streams and lakes jumped up and down because of the hot water.”

“People thought the weather was unusually hot, so they all thought the great god Xihe was angry, and they all hid in their homes, not even daring to open the windows.”

“At that time, the Emperor of Heaven stood above the sky, followed by the Ancient Heavenly Guards and accompanied by divine beasts.”

“The Emperor of Heaven noticed that there were two suns in the sky over the continent at that time! It was just that the two suns overlapped each other, so no one else could notice it, which led to this terrible drought.”

“Two suns rising in the sky are the result of the overlap of the universes! This means that time and space are out of sync.”

“When the Emperor of Heaven noticed this, he immediately ordered his imperial guards to prepare for battle. The next moment, the entire continent suddenly fell into darkness, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky that blocked out the sun!”

“From the Emperor’s perspective, it was not a black cloud, but an endless amount of armor that filled the entire sky!”

“That scene was like a dark cloud pressing down on a city, threatening to destroy it. The sky was filled with sword lights, shaking the heavens and the earth!”

Fu Changsheng stood on the stage and spoke seriously, and the audience below listened very attentively.

“At this moment, an immortal king with royal splendor suddenly appeared and explained everything to the Emperor of Heaven.”

“It turns out that this vast army all came from a bygone era. Unwilling to accept the end of extinction, they crossed the long river of time and wanted to occupy the present time and space.”

“This is a war, a war in the past and in the present.”

“The Emperor of Heaven said: Good. Then he soared into the sky, crossing thousands of miles in an instant, destroying the enemy with all his might!”

“The war is about to begin!”

Having said that, Fu Changsheng’s mouth felt a little dry, so he raised his hand, picked up the teacup and took another sip.

“Okay, let’s stop here for today.” Fu Changsheng deliberately whetted the appetite of the audience.

There was a burst of sighs from the audience at first, and then there was an immediate round of applause.

“Thank you all for your support!” Fu Changsheng bowed to the audience and then walked off the stage.

It was almost sunset at this time. After the audience in the hall applauded Fu Changsheng, they all stood up and dispersed.

After a while, the music hall, which was originally full of audiences, soon became empty. All the guests had a great time and went home amidst laughter and chatter.

Behind the stage, Fu Changsheng was packing up props while humming a little tune, in a very good mood.

Although Fu Changsheng had many complaints when he first traveled to this world, this system was surprisingly reliable and hadn’t caused any trouble in the past six months.

The attention system, as the name suggests, can make you stronger by gaining attention.

However, the system threw a broken Fuxi Qin to Fu Changsheng at the beginning, and then ignored him.

There was no other way. In order to make a living in this world, Fu Changsheng could only play the piano and perform on the streets of Tushan to make a living.

Fortunately, although the Fuxi Qin could not exert any power, it turned Fu Changsheng, a man who had never touched a musical instrument, into a top-notch qin player.

However, while his performance attracted audiences, Fu Changsheng unexpectedly discovered that the “attention points” that came with the system were also increasing.

Relying on starting with a zither and performing to become stronger, Fu Changsheng unexpectedly gained a lot of listeners in this world.

As the number of listeners increased, Fu Changsheng, who was originally just performing on the street, unexpectedly rented a small music hall with the help of tips from passers-by.

While earning a living, he can also gain attention in this way. Although it is not much, it is enough to make Fu Changsheng happy for a long time.

“Open the system.”

[Beep——]

[Name: Fu Changsheng; Race: Male Human; Age: 20 years old]

[Cultivation: Foundation Building Level 9]

[Warrior: Fuxi Qin (incomplete)]

【Focus points: 3200】

“Eh? Why did so many points get added today?” The moment he saw the last row of attention points, Fu Changsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise.

On weekdays, according to Fu Changsheng’s fame, the number of viewers he attracted would increase by 20 points per day at most, and in half a year he had accumulated only 2000 points of attention.

How come it increased by more than a thousand today?

[Gain attention from the Tushan royal family, and gain an additional 1000 attention points]

“Wow, the royal family?” Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng sighed.

“How can my little place attract the attention of the royal family?” Fu Changsheng smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Aren’t the so-called royal family supposed to have beautiful women dancing and top musicians playing music every day? How could they be interested in a small music troupe like theirs?

After a long time, when Fu Changsheng had packed up his props and was about to close the door to rest, he suddenly saw a slightly petite figure in the house.

Looking up, in the empty room, a little girl with two fox ears on her temples was sitting quietly on a chair in the corner. Seeing Fu Changsheng coming out from behind the stage, Tushan Rongrong gradually turned her head to look over.

“Huh? Why is there a little girl sitting here?” The moment he saw Tushan Rongrong, Fu Changsheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, looked around, and found that Tushan Rongrong was the only one there.

All the other guests had left, and Tushan Rongrong was like a lost little girl, sitting alone in the chair without saying a word.

After a while, Fu Changsheng poured a cup of tea for Tushan Rongrong, pushed the cup in front of Tushan Rongrong, and asked in a gentle voice:

“My dear little guest, it’s already sunset, why don’t you go home?”

When Tushan Rongrong heard Fu Changsheng’s question, she did not answer immediately, but suddenly said something incoherent.

“Can you play it again?”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Fu Changsheng was a little confused.

“Can you play the song you played today again?” Tushan Rongrong repeated it again.

After hearing this, Fu Changsheng looked at Tushan Rongrong in surprise. Could it be that this little girl was waiting for him here just to listen to him play the piano?

However, Fu Changsheng did not agree, but said like coaxing a child: “I’m sorry, little customer, we are closed today, can you come back tomorrow?”

Fu Changsheng: It is impossible to work overtime. It is impossible for me to work overtime in this life.

Tushan Rongrong did not answer, but reached into her sleeve and felt around. Finally, she took out a heavy piece of silver from her pocket.

“I can pay for it.”

Chapter 3: It was you who kidnapped my sister?

“I can pay.” As she said that, Tushan Rongrong handed the silver in her hand to Fu Changsheng.

Seeing this, Fu Changsheng was a little surprised. What kind of family is so wealthy? !

Although Tushan is a rich place with many wealthy people, it is still too exaggerated for a little kid to casually take out twenty taels of silver.

“What are you doing? Put it away quickly!” Fu Changsheng was startled and quickly reached out to put back the silver that Tushan Rongrong handed to him.

Fu Changsheng subconsciously looked around. It is said that wealth should not be shown off. A little girl wandering around alone with so much money on her body, if seen by someone with ulterior motives, she would be targeted as soon as she walked out.

“You spend money like this. Your parents will definitely be angry if they know.” Fu Changsheng taught Tushan Rongrong earnestly.

“I don’t have parents.” The next moment, Tushan Rongrong suddenly said this.

After hearing this, Fu Changsheng was suddenly speechless, and looked at the young girl in front of him with some confusion.

For a moment, a feeling of guilt suddenly surged in his heart, and Fu Changsheng’s tone suddenly softened.

“So, do you have any other family members?”

“I have two older sisters.” Tushan Rongrong did not feel offended and spoke in a very calm tone.

“No wonder.” Hearing this, Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but think in his heart.

This makes sense, because the little girl lost her parents at a young age, so she became the most cared for one in the family, so her two older sisters wanted to give her the best, and that’s why they gave her so much money.

For a moment, a tragic script suddenly emerged in Fu Changsheng’s mind.

“You haven’t had dinner yet? That’s great, why don’t you eat with me.” Fu Changsheng looked at Tushan Rongrong in front of him, his eyes suddenly softened, and his tone was very gentle.

“Then are you willing to play it again?” Tushan Rongrong asked stubbornly.

“Okay, okay, I’ll make an exception today.” Fu Changsheng smiled helplessly, but a warm feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. With such a little audience, Fu Changsheng had the long-lost feeling of being affirmed.

Fu Changsheng immediately walked to the stove in the compartment behind the counter and said silently in his heart: “System, open the mall.”

“I need to buy some condiments.”

[Oh? Master Fu is so generous today? I never saw you paying attention to things like this before.] The system suddenly couldn’t help but tease Fu Changsheng.

“Tsk, didn’t you see there was a poor little girl today?”

[Okay, a primary stove gift pack, with the title of primary chef unlocked, 200 attention points]

“What? Why has it suddenly become so expensive? And I obviously only want the seasoning. Are you taking advantage of me and selling it in bundles?!” Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but frowned.

【Do you want it? 】

“……Okay, you are so cruel.” In the end, Fu Changsheng chose to swallow this loss in silence, and his heart was bleeding.

[Mr. Fu is very generous! (sarcastic)]

After a while, Fu Changsheng came out from the kitchen carrying two bowls of plain noodles.

“Thank you.” Tushan Rongrong seemed to be hungry as well. Without thinking much, she took the chopsticks handed to her by Fu Changsheng and started eating.

After taking a mouthful of the noodles, Tushan Rongrong opened her eyes in surprise. The taste was beyond her expectation.

While Tushan Rongrong was eating noodles, Fu Changsheng asked about Tushan Rongrong while eating.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Tushan Rongrong.” Tushan Rongrong did not hide it and answered without hesitation.

Fu Changsheng nodded thoughtfully, and at this moment he carefully observed the little girl named Tushan Rongrong in front of him, only to find that she was a little fox demon. Unlike other vertical-eared foxes, this was a folded-ear fox demon.

“…Wait, Tushan Rongrong?!” After a moment, as if realizing something, Fu Changsheng suddenly widened his eyes.
