Long tone, the key was the two strokes that were held and released. Pressing and holding the bar when the ‘head’ touched the horizontal line and releasing it when the ‘tail’ of the note touched the horizontal line.

If the notes in the left and right hands were the same length, and they were pressed and released at the same time, it was simple. But once the left hand and the right hand needed to handle different lengths of notes, it was easy to make a mistake, and it was equivalent to doing one thing at once.

According to the command of the little junior brother, Yue Xingwen smoothly handled the few long notes that fell at the beginning.

But then he found that the difficulty of the song was not only handling of the long notes, but that there would be fragmented notes dropped at the same time with the long notes, often requiring one hand to press the long note, the other hand to quickly shoot down the note fragments, and the left and right hands alternately. In less than a minute, he was a little busy and sweaty.

Fortunately, he still had a dictionary to help, with mind control, equivalent to his ‘third hand’.

The other students also exerted their whole body strength, wishing to turn into three heads and six arms like Nezha!

Although this song was 8 minutes long, the number of notes was obviously much less than before, and the speed of falling was relatively slow. As long as they concentrated, paying attention to the collection of long notes according to the beat, trying to hit the short notes between the long notes, there were not many mistakes. At least, Yue Xingwen only missed 1 short note here, and Jiang Pingce had a full streak again.

At the end of the song, everyone was so tired and sweating. They simply sat down on the light pillar.

Qi Luoran, who was standing in the middle of the stage and conducting, also had a sore arm. He turned to look at the big screen, and the score of the third song appeared after the number jumped for a while——

[The total number of notes of <The Blue Danube> song is 2,400, successfully collected 2,390, the highest combo is 1,288 and the final rating: A]

[The first level ‘Rhythm’ passed smoothly]

[The second level ‘Melody’ is about to start, rest for 5 minutes]

Everyone was relieved to see the prompt.

Qi Luoran rubbed his arm and said with a smile, “It’s finally over, this is the most difficult music game I’ve ever seen!”

Lan Yarong said, “These 8 minutes are simply more difficult than 8 hours. My heart was in my throat for fear that the timing of letting go is not right, and I will lose a large string of notes at once.”

Qi Luoran looked up at the statistics of the six people’s respective combos, and looked at Jiang Pingce in surprise. “Senior brother Jiang had a full combo again? How did you do it ah? Did you study music specifically?”

Jiang Pingce did not answer, but Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Pingce, he has not studied music, but in his eyes, these short and long notes can be converted into coordinates, and the horizontal line in front of him is his X-axis, and he can speculate the time and speed at which the note reaches the X-axis and then press it.”

Qi Luoran was stunned, but Jiang Pingce was very calm, looked at Yue Xingwen from a distance, and the corners of his lips gently raised an arc, and said, “Xingwen is right. You can press the notes according to the rhythm of the music, and I press them according to the distance between them and the horizontal axis.”

Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Jiang Pingce, and joked, “Junior brother Jiang’s eyes are only mathematics, is it that we people, in your eyes, they are also moving coordinates ah!”

Jiang Pingce glanced at Yue Xingwen. “That’s not true.”

Yue Xingwen didn’t know what he meant by this glance, smiled at the other party and said, “Prepare for the second level. I remember that the second level is the Melody, I don’t know how to play it?”

Qi Luoran guessed and said, “Melody is a very important element of music, generally referring to an organized and rhythmic sequence… *cough*, according to senior brother Jiang’s understanding, it’s the same as the sequence of mathematics.”

“Sequence?” Jiang Pingce said clearly, “That is, to arrange the notes into a sequence, and the different sequences are connected together to form an entire piece of music. Each melody has its own rules, like a song where the main part is sung for a verse, with a chorus, and then another verse for the main song?”

Qi Luoran said, “That’s right!”

Such an easy-to-understand explanation, everyone quickly understood. Lan Yarong said, “If the second level is the melody, is it necessary to disrupt the melody of some songs and let us rearrange it?”

Qin Lu was eager to try and said, “It sounds a little more fun than the music game just now!”

Qi Luoran scratched his hair and said, “I can’t guess the specific rules of the game, but since it’s a melody, it should have something to do with the order of arrangement like senior brother and sisters said.”

The 5-minute break quickly passed, and the familiar mechanical voice prompt rang in their ears again.

[The second level of the game begins]

[Please all 8 examinees come to the big stage, a series of notes will appear on the screen in the middle of the stage, and when the notes appear, the corresponding melody will be sounded at the same time, each string of notes will only be played once, please listen carefully]

[When the notes appear, there will be corresponding note group signs, what you need to do is to rearrange the 8 groups of notes to form a complete song, a total of three songs]

[All correct evaluations are S, two groups of wrong order are evaluated as A, and more than three groups of wrong order are evaluated as failing the exam]

After listening to the prompt, Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other. “Sure enough, it’s a number sequence sorting.”

Xu Yishen touched his chin and said, “That is, breaking a song into several bars, disrupting the original melody, playing it back for us and then asking us to rearrange it?”

Lan Yarong complained helplessly, “If we encounter a well-known pop song, the order will be very simple, but if it’s a song we haven’t heard of at all, then how to arrange it? Hell knows which section is in front and which is behind.”

Qin Lu said, “Surely the library won’t test us on simple pop songs, it should be various world famous songs again, right? I don’t know much about those piano songs and the like, so I can only rely on junior brother Qi.”

Everyone turned their attention to Qi Luoran, a temporary X-team member.

Qi Luoran felt pressure, and he said stiffly, “Although I know a lot of piano music, it’s not necessarily all piano music, and if I come across Guzheng Pipa-type pieces, I’m not familiar with them either.”

He paused and then said, “However, the arrangement of music usually has a certain pattern, prelude, transition, high-tide, ending. If we encounter a song that we have not heard at all, we can only try according to this rule.”

Yue Xingwen nodded, looked at the big screen and said, “The clearance rule is two sets of errors, that is, if there are eight sets of notes, the original order is ABCDEFGH, and if one of them is wrong, the evaluation is A.”

Qi Luoran said, “Fortunately, there is a chance to make a mistake. Generally, we usually can’t get wrong at the prelude and ending, and if you encounter a similar melody in the middle, you can still pass the level even if you get the wrong order.”

Yue Xignwen simply said, “Everyone prepare, it’s about to start.”

A 10-second countdown appeared on the screen, and everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen.

Soon, a string of notes slid across the screen, marked with ‘A’, and the strange melody rang in his ears, and Yue Xingwen looked dazed, having never heard it before.

After this string of notes, there was a second string, marked as ‘B’. The other students continued to be dazed, but Qi Luoran’s face flashed a trace of excitement. He looked at Xu Yishen, who nodded at him,

Soon, the third string, the fourth…

8 consecutive strings of notes slid through the screen, and the melody ringing in their ears sounded chaotic. If it wasn’t for the exam room of the Conservatory of Music, Yue Xingwen couldn’t even connect these melodies into a tune, and felt that the style was changing to and fro?

However, looking at Qi Luoran and Xu Yishen’s expressions, they seemed to know this song?

After the music was played, Qi Luoran took the initiative to say, “Senior brother, let’s talk about the order together and check it?”

Xu Yishen laughed and said, “Okay.”

Qi Luoran said, “D, C, H, G, A, B, E, F?”

Xu Yishen nodded his head. “It’s the same as mine.”

Qi Luoran’s eyes lit up and said, “That’s right then, this is the piece for the tenth grade of the piano exam, the <Scarlatti> piece. When we went to the exam together back then, I remember that you played this one.”

Xu Yishen smiled and said, “It’s been so long that I’ve almost forgotten about it, but when I listened to it just now, this familiar melody reminds me of my own miserable days when I was forced to practice piano.”

For Xu Yishen, learning the piano was a pain, he actually preferred the exciting sport like drag racing, and his personality, too, was not suitable for sitting quietly and playing the piano. But Qi Luoran was different, he loved music, so learning the piano was a pleasure for Qi Luoran.

Xu Yishen patted the little junior brother’s shoulder and said, “It seems that the melody level is not difficult for you.”

Qi Luoran smiled coyly and submitted his answers according to the order. After a 1-minute countdown, the melody of the second song began to play, and to Qi Luoran’s surprise, it was actually a melodious sound of the guqin(zither).

Qin Lu and Qin Miao looked at each other, and the former excitedly said, “It seems to be <High Mountain and Running River>!”

Qin Miao looked calm and said, “En, listen carefully.”

Qi Luoran also heard this was the sound played by the guzheng. His favorite instrument was the piano, followed by the violin and he had little contact with folk music, but he had heard such a famous song as <High Mountain and Running River>.

A moment later, the 8 notes ended, Qin Lu carefully sorted out the memories in her mind, and said, “It should be ACBDEGFH.”

Qin Lu looked at her teammates and said, “What does everyone think?”

Yue Xingwen rubbed his temples and said, “I’m not familiar with it. Qin Lu, if you have practiced this song, you can decide the answer.”

Qin Lu was a little worried and said, “But I’m not sure it’s 100% correct…”

Qin Miao simply said, “If you are not sure, others are even more uncertain. I remember that you also practiced this song many times, I believe that your memory has not degraded to such an extent.”

Qin Lu nodded and stepped forward to enter the answer——

The second song went over well and sorted all correctly!

Yue Xingwen said with a smile, “Great. It seems that we are lucky, and meeting two tunes that everyone has practiced.”

Qi Luoran said, “This is too easy, the third question should not be the original music of the library that we haven’t heard before, right?”

Xu Yishen hurriedly coughed. “Stop, don’t crow mouth!”
