Since Qi Luoran temporarily joined the C-183 Research Group, the 9th floor of the library elevator was open to him, and he came to the course selection center of the Faculty of Arts on the 9th floor unimpeded, standing beside Yue Xingwen.

According to the schedule of the Faculty of Arts, the compulsory course <Illusion in the Painting> was held on Monday and Wednesday at 2pm, the compulsory course <Music Melody>, Monday to Friday every night at 8pm every night, it would be the compulsory course <Masquerade>.

Today was Tuesday, so if they made it through their afternoon music course, they could also continue to dance in the evening, and go straight to the entire Faculty of Arts today, and then move on to the next faculty.

Although this kind of progress was very rushed, every additional day in the library was a waste of time, and it was inevitable to work hard in order to leave early.

Yue Xingwen decisively walked to the course selection computer and pressed the ‘course selection’ button.

[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]

Yue Xingwen pressed ‘Yes’, and then led everyone to the empty classroom next to him to prepare.

Ke Shaobin analyzed. “The exam requirement is to complete all music games, is this course a music game? Similar to the kind of O2Jam and Rhythm Master, where you hit the notes according to the rhythm of the song?”

Liu Zhaoqing pressed his temple with a headache. “I’ve never played music games before.”

Yue Xingwen calmly said, “The limited course has a credit sharing function, and the maximum number of students is 8, so let’s determine which 8 students will participate first. People who don’t have music cells and have a bad sense of rhythm can voluntarily withdraw from this exam.”

Liu Zhaoqing immediately raised his hand and said, “I’m not going, I have a poor sense of rhythm.”

Zhang Xiaonian said, “I’m tone deaf, I will sing out of tune. I’m not going either.”

Zhuo Feng said, “I’m not going.”

Xin Yan also raised his hand, “I won’t add trouble to you.”

Ke Shaobin blushed in embarrassment and said, “Although I play games a lot, music is my weakness, so I’m not going. If there are eight of you, a few of you who can play musical instruments, plus the new junior brother Qi, are enough.”

Yue Xingwen’s gaze swept over the audience, and there were five who took the initiative to withdraw. The new junior brother Qi Luoran, plus the four girls, senior brother Xu Yishen with him and Pingce, making exactly eight people. He didn’t dwell on it and simply decided, “Okay, then eight of us will take the exam. The remaining five will wait in the classroom.”

Qi Luoran glanced around with some surprise, he didn’t expect Yue Xingwen to decide on the candidate so quickly…

Seeing Yue Xingwen looking at him, Qi Luoran immediately stood up and said seriously, “Music games, the most important thing is the sense of rhythm, I have played a lot of music games, but what kind of game this course is, I can’t say before the exam starts.”

Yue Xingwen nodded at him and said, “En, I’m afraid…”

Jiang Pingce looked at him helplessly and siad, “Don’t say what are you afraid of coming.”

Yue Xingwen smiled and made a zipper movement for his mouth, and did not continue to ‘crow’s mouth’. He looked back at the clock on the wall, and there were only 5 minutes left.

Jiang Pingce said, “Get ready.”

Everyone took a deep breath to adjust their mentality, and soon it was 2:00 pm when the examination room was officially opened.

Yue Xingwen only felt a flash before his eyes, and then, he appeared in the strange space——

It was a lot like a concert scene, and it was dark all around, but there was not a single audience in the whole scene. It was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. There were a lot of fluorescent sticks floating in the air, gathered together, like a vast river of stars.

He looked up, and six pillars of light stood on the scene, in six colors: red, yellow, green, blue, black and white. The light pillars were arranged in a ring, about 5 meters away from each other, surrounding a circle with a big stage in the middle, and at that moment, a blinding spotlight shone on the stage. The eight of them were standing side by side in the center of the stage.

Everyone looked at each other.

What was going on here?

Xu Yishen looked around and said, “It’s a bit like a concert scene?”

Qi Luoran said, “What are those pillars of light for? Are they going to make us stand on them?”

As soon as the words fell, a huge LCD screen suddenly appeared in the middle of the stage. At the same time, a soft mechanical voice sounded in the ears: “Welcome to the <Music Melody> course of the Faculty of Arts. The students have worked hard in the previous courses, so the exam for this course is relatively relaxing. All you have to do is to complete the game as required, and you’ll be able to pass the exam successfully.”

The mechanical voice paused, and then said: “The game is divided into three parts, rhythm, tune, and harmony. The first level is the rhythm level, 8 examinees can choose 6 people to stand on the light pillar, shooting down the notes falling in the air according to the rhythm of the music, all combos get S rating, miss less than 20 is A rating, miss more than 20 will fail the challenge, and failing the course exam will be directly eliminated. The rhythm level has a total of 3 songs, which need to be completed.”

It seemed similar to common music games, the difference was that usually music games were played alone, but this time it was divided into 6 people to cooperate, even if they were all correct, the streak would still get interrupted if the teammates missed the notes. The 6 examinees must have a strong sense of rhythm, and each person could hit all the notes, in order to get the S rating,

It was almost impossible.

There were 20 fault tolerance rates. Yue Xingwen looked at his teammates and said, “Each person can miss up to 3, everyone try not to miss.”

Jiang Pingce turned around and asked, “6 people stand on the light pillar to shoot down the notes, and the other 2 people don’t need to participate in the game?”

The mechanical voice said: “The other two can assist their teammates on stage.”

Yue Xingwen wanted to continue asking, but the mechanical voice interrupted him: “There will be 30 seconds of preparation time, so please ask the 6 examinees to choose a light pillar to stand on.”

There were six colors of circular suspended stones appeared on the stage, Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and swept his gaze over his teammates beside him, quickly arranging, “Senior brother Xu and junior brother Qi stay on the stage to support, and the other six people go to the light pillar. Pingce black, I’m white, Qin Lu and Qin Miao go to red and blue, senior sister Lan and senior sister Lin go to yellow and green.”

The teammates had no opinion, and quickly stood up according to his arrangement.

The six suspended stones seemed to have a gravity sensor, and after they stood on them, the stones suddenly floated up and flew over towards the six corresponding color light pillars, sending each of the six people to stand on the light pillars.

Yue Xingwen visually measured the distance to the big stage and said, “Senior brother Xu, you can reach us with mitosis, right?”

Xu Yishen nodded and said, “Yes.”

Qi Luoran looked blankly at Xu Yishen beside him.

Xu Yishen took advantage of the countdown time to explain in Qi Luoran’s ear, “Xingwen arranged it this way based on everyone’s skills. My mitosis can instantly split into 5 replicas to support any direction, it’s suitable to stay in the middle of the stage to support teammates. As for you, your control skills should have little effect on the notes, leaving you behind, presumably to preserve your stamina for the more difficult next level.”

Qi Luoran suddenly realized, and couldn’t help but look in Yue Xingwen’s direction. “Senior Xingwen is comprehensive when considering the problem.”

Xu Yishen smiled deeply and said, “He’s a very good team leader, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to command so many top students.”

Qi Luoran quickly stood in the middle of the stage, he thought, the rhythm level of the first level should not be too difficult, right?

The 30-second countdown ended quickly, and familiar music rang in everyone’s ears.

Listening to the melodious and gentle melody at the beginning, Qi Luoran said, “It’s Richard <A Comme Amour>. The rhythm is relatively soothing, a common 4/4 beat tune, with the quarter note as a beat, and four beats per bar.”

As soon as his words fell, notes of different colors fell in the air.

Yue Xingwen quickly stretched out his hand to shoot down the white notes in front of him, and other students also shot down the notes according to the rhythm of the music. Everyone soon found that when they reached out to touch the notes, those colored notes would break, and made a crisp sound like a ‘popping’ sound of the bursting water bubble as if they were giving the song a beat.

At the beginning, everyone was a bit confused, didn’t quite keep up with the beat, and although no notes were missed, the rating wasn’t Perfect. It wasn’t until after a bar that everyone quickly adapted to the rhythm of the song and shot down notes according to the beat of 4/4, even if the speed of falling notes in the second half increased, everyone managed to shoot all the notes down.

The combo data on the big screen kept jumping, and finally setting at 1,200, and then the points were settled.

—— ALL COMBO!

—— S Rating!

ALL COMBO meant ‘all combos’ in the music game, everyone was very happy to see this result. Lan Yarong couldn’t help but say, “So it seems that the first level of the rhythm game is not that difficult ah, in the past when we played music, we had to hit 1,200 notes by ourselves, but now that we are divided into 6 people, we only need to hit 200 notes each.”

Lin Manluo also said, “Yes. After the division of labor, each person needs to strike down fewer notes.”

Yue Xingwen didn’t think that the library would be so kind as to send them points directly, and there were three songs in the rhythm level, the first of which should just let everyone be familiar with the rules of the game. He took a deep breath and said, “Don’t be careless, prepare for the second song.”

A few moments later, a prompt for ‘second game’ appeared on the screen.

The countdown was 10 seconds and the song began.

Like countless bees buzzing in their ears, extremely fast melodies suddenly appeared, making the six people stunned for a while.

Qi Luoran’s face changed, and he hurriedly reminded loudly, “It’s Maksim’s <Flight of Bumble-Bee>, and the total length of the song is more than 1 minute! A song with a super fast pace!”

Lan Yarong and Lin Manluo couldn’t wait to slap themselves.

Sure enough, you couldn’t hope for the library’s morals!

Just now, it was still a soothing piano song, but in a blink of an eye, it was replaced by <Flight of Bumble-Bee> song!

The rhythm of this song was terrifyingly fast, and the notes falling from the air were like oncoming bees after a poked hornet’s nest, string after string, almost drowning them out completely!
