Full-time: The Strongest Sniper

Chapter 913 Flight of the Bumblebee

"You? And what about the others? Aren't these so-called esports players just ignorant, incompetent fools? What value do your teammates have?" Clearly, Mr. Lü was enraged. He looked like a clown, especially after Xiao Nai's identity was exposed. The surrounding people looked at him with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Mr. Lü, you've had too much to drink." At this moment, a man came up to Mr. Lü and tried to pull him away. He was desperate; his company had some large-scale collaborations with this man, and if the projects failed, he would suffer huge losses. So, all he wanted to do now was to take Mr. Lü away and never have anything to do with him again after the project was completed.

Putting everything else aside, didn't you see that the leader, who was clearly not a minor official, was standing there, and his face turned dark?

With a slight pull, Mr. Lü managed to get a way out and prepared to retreat. After all, he had seen the leader's expression and knew he had been a bit too agitated. Now it wasn't a matter of losing face anymore; it was about minimizing his future losses.

"This is Mr. Lü, right? What you just said was a bit off. We're not saying we only play games." This time, Ye Xiu stepped forward and said. Was he, Ye Xiu, a very magnanimous person? He was being mocked right in front of him and he was just going to do nothing?

"What? What else do you have to show?" After Ye Xiu said that, President Lü couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"It's not impossible, there are props here." Ye Xiu said, walking towards the performance area on the side of the ballroom. The music for this party was being played live by an orchestra. Of course, if any guests wanted to perform, that was fine too.

"You can play the piano?" Mr. Lü asked, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, don't you know how?" Ye Xiu laughed.

"Of course I will," President Lü said stiffly, but his tone clearly lacked confidence. Meanwhile, the leader had already started chatting with Xiao Nai, and upon learning that Ye Xiu was Xiao Nai's captain, he also cast a curious glance his way.

"That's fine then." Ye Xiu said, already sitting down at the piano. He added, "Wait a minute, I'll play a piece. After that, you only need to be able to play a part of it."

"Hmph, if you play something random, how am I supposed to play it?" President Lü tried to defend himself.

Ye Xiu didn't offer much explanation for this; at that moment, his hands were already on the piano keys.

"The master can also play the piano? He's truly unfathomable." Lou Guanning and the others from Yizhan said with some surprise.

"I never expected Ye Xiu to learn this. Xiao Nai, do you think Captain Ye really knows how to play the piano?" Qiao Jingjing asked Xiao Nai with some curiosity.

"You'll understand why Ye Xiu learned this once you hear it," Xiao Nai said with a smile.

As Xiao Nai finished speaking, Ye Xiu placed his hands on the piano, followed by a barrage of notes that sounded like a storm. The rapid notes rained down on everyone in the room.

"What is all this?" Chen Guo, Lou Guanning, and the others were stunned when they heard the music. If it weren't for the continuous flow of the music, they would have thought that Ye Xiu was playing randomly.

Unlike them, Tang Rou laughed after hearing the first few syllables. Her laughter immediately attracted the attention of Qiao Jingjing and Chen Guo, who both leaned close to Tang Rou and whispered, "Little Tang, what are you laughing at? What is Ye Xiu playing?"

“Wild bees are flying around,” Tang Rou said.

"What?" Chen Guo asked blankly.

"Flight of the Bumblebee, I've heard of that before. It's a song known for its fast tempo, and I heard that some people use it to show off their hand speed. Oh, so that's it." Qiao Jingjing said with a hint of realization. She knew a bit about Flight of the Bumblebee, but she had never actually heard it before. She didn't expect to hear it from Ye Xiu. "Hand speed..." Chen Guo was stunned when she heard this, and instantly understood why Tang Rou had been laughing.

Qiao Jingjing, who also understood Xiao Nai's meaning, smiled and said, "This is too humiliating."

“That’s right,” Tang Rou said with a smile.

"I don't think that Mr. Lü can possibly play it," Chen Guo said with a hint of schadenfreude. Meanwhile, Mr. Lü on the other side was completely at a loss.

"Don't even mention her. There aren't many people in the world who can play like that. If Xiao Nai knew how to play the piano, he might have a chance," Tang Rou said.

"This is outrageous! This piece is actually so difficult!" Qiao Jingjing exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, as far as I know, no one can pop out of the crowd." Tang Rou also felt that she might have exaggerated a bit, so she made a slight correction.

While the girls were talking, Ye Xiu's piece had already ended. There was no way around it; Ye Xiu played incredibly fast, finishing a piece in just a few dozen seconds. Everyone present was still reeling from the sheer speed of the performance. After all, while not many people there could play the piano, they were all quite knowledgeable and knew that Ye Xiu wasn't just playing randomly; they were simply stunned by the speed.

"Um, should we give a round of applause?" Qiao Jingjing asked Tang Rou again when she saw that no one was moving.

"Let's forget about it," Tang Rou said.

"Why?" Chen Guo asked, somewhat curious.

"Ye Xiu's playing, apart from being fast and accurate, was completely terrible in every other aspect," Tang Rou said.

"Just as Xiao Nai said, Ye Xiu definitely learned this to practice his hand speed," Tang Rou said.

"I think so too." Tang Rou and Chen Guo nodded in unison.

Tang Rou wasn't the only one at the scene who understood the emotion, and their assessment of Ye Xiu's performance was the same as Tang Rou's. Under normal circumstances, performing Flight of the Bumblebee at such a fast speed would deserve applause, but every piece of music has its own emotion and rhythm. But this guy had neither emotion nor rhythm; it was simply fast, as fast as possible.

Such a performance is nothing short of disrespectful to music. How could anyone possibly applaud such a performance?

However, Ye Xiu didn't care about these things. He figured, "Just tell me if he played it wrong or not. If he didn't, then there's nothing wrong with it." So Ye Xiu went directly to President Lü and gestured, "You can start repeating now."

The tone was perfectly calm, but it gave the impression of blatant sarcasm.

"You...you...you...you..." President Lü was even more flustered now. Someone like Xiao Nai was already an exception, but he hadn't expected the other team to actually have some other talent. "You're just fast, that's all. What's the point? You don't understand music at all!"

"How can you say you don't understand? At most, you can only say my skill level is low. I'm just asking you, was there a single mistake in what I just played? And now it's your turn," Ye Xiu said. (End of Chapter)
