Chapter 778: The Birth of a King
The world-renowned music master Bell once said that in Chunan City of Hua Country, there exists a music prodigy with extraordinary talent. Bell once personally sought out this individual and wanted to take her as his disciple, but the music prodigy rejected him. Nevertheless, Bell stated that he is still willing to keep the door open for her, and if she changes her mind, she could come to him at any time.
This was news from five years ago, and at the time, it caused a sensation throughout Hua Country. Even the global music world was left in disbelief.
Who is Bell? He's one of the greatest musicians in the world, once named among the ten most influential figures globally. In the music industry, he is the undisputed king. Countless people rack their brains for an opportunity to become his apprentice, yet now this unheard-of little girl from Hua Country rejected him, sparking an uproar at the time.
However, five years later, as the little girl from Chunan City gradually grew up, as she steadily advanced towards the throne of music, no one dared to call her arrogant anymore. People could only marvel at her unparalleled gift.
The whole world believed the little girl was born gifted, but very few people knew the truth — the music prodigy from Chunan City, acclaimed as a once-in-a-century musical genius, had not touched any musical instrument before. Her meteoric rise was entirely thanks to the Music System she possessed.
With a system in her grasp, even though she was previously clueless about music, unable to even read sheet music, under the enhancement of system skills, she could perform world-class music. Even a master like Bell was left awestruck.
And this is the terrifying aspect of systems.
Anyone who possesses a system can reach the pinnacle of a specific field, becoming a master in that domain.
It's not just her Music System — there are also systems for gourmet cooking, carving, medicine, and more.
For someone to have one system already guarantees them a reach for greatness. But if someone possesses two systems, or even three systems, or potentially an infinite number of systems, then they ought to be a king.
The incident that occurred at the small pub in Xizhou City had already been suppressed by dozens of system owners working together. Any information or related reports were completely forbidden from surfacing. Even the eyewitnesses in the alley that night had their memories erased by one of the system owners who could manipulate memories.
Maintaining the secrecy of systems is an obligation for every system owner, and when faced with a crisis where systems might be exposed, everyone displayed extraordinary solidarity.
Thus, even though the chaos in Xizhou City two nights ago shook the heavens and earth, under the combined efforts of dozens of system owners sealing the event, no news came out at all. It's as though the incident never happened in the world.
The only difference is that the once-bustling alley of Xizhou City is now missing a pub. Meanwhile, where the pub was once located now holds a mysterious, massive crater.
The saga of the Wu family in Xizhou City came to a definitive conclusion with the disappearance of the Phoenix woman. Without the Phoenix, the Wu family was nothing more than a laughable clown, and not even Chu Mo — any slightly influential individual could easily erase the Wu family.
After dealing with matters in Xizhou City, Chu Mo promptly returned to the Magic City.
Today, Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One welcomed two additional guests.
One was Yu Wenjing, a possessor of the Gravity System who could simultaneously execute four kinds of binding skills. The other was Mi Tian, who had been critically injured and unconscious after being struck by the Phoenix at the pub.
Yu Wenjing, though she seemed calm and refined on the surface, was, in reality, extraordinarily arrogant and unruly, often believing herself to be far above others and looking down on ordinary people.
The chaotic events at the pub were triggered because a scruffy-haired punk dared to smoke in front of Yu Wenjing — she directly took action to teach him a lesson.
Yu Wenjing's politeness is reserved only for system owners of the same rank. When facing someone with great strength, she is restrained and cordial, but when dealing with weaker individuals or ordinary people, she remains lofty and unapproachable.
As for the man named Mi Tian, he was an intriguing character.
He himself was an immensely powerful system owner, one of the "chosen ones." By right, Mi Tian should've been a figurehead, at least wealthy enough to dominate a region.
After all, possessing a system means that even without doing anything, simply selling a few low-level items from the System Shop would be enough to prosper.
Back then, Yu Wenjing casually took out a low-grade item — a Heart Jade — from the System Shop and auctioned it for an astronomical price of eleven billion at Great World Auction House in the Capital City.
Yet, confronted with an easily attainable life of luxury, Mi Tian chose differently. He continued to live as he did before: working regular hours, commuting back and forth, residing in a cheap rental apartment, drinking subpar liquor, and even lacking a girlfriend.
Unlike the vast majority of system owners who instantly change their lives upon acquiring a system, Mi Tian remained unchanged. It was as though living a simple, mundane life was his greatest aspiration.
Due to his minimal or practically nonexistent use of the system, other than the now-deceased pub owner, no one knows what Mi Tian's system is. At the pub incident, Mi Tian was undeniably an absolute anomaly.
