At that moment, countless pieces of piano knowledge flooded Charles' mind. The piano keys, once foreign, now felt like old friends under his fingertips. It was as if he had been born for this, like he had been honing his craft for decades.
Charles delicately raised his hands, gracefully pressing down on the keys. In that instant, his presence transformed. It was like a commoner suddenly cloaked in regal attire, revealing his extraordinary identity to the world.
He then played "Coffee Under the Stars."
It was the same piece Mike had just played. And he played it well. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't choose to play the same piece, as it would cause aesthetic fatigue. Moreover, the comparison would be too obvious with the same piece. Even a slight mistake would be noticeable.
Mike chose this piece because it was his best. But Charles chose to play the same piece as Mike. Because if you were going to show someone up, you had to use his way to win him for thorough success.
The moment the notes began to play, everyone's eyes froze.
"Charles can actually play the piano, and it sounds pretty good!"
"Coffee Under the Stars, isn't this the piece Mike just played?"
"Don't talk, listen carefully!"
In the first few seconds of Charles' performance, some people were still whispering. But after half a minute, the entire villa hall, with over forty people, fell silent. There was not a single sound!
The moving notes, like a flowing stream, crazily impacted everyone's hearts. Driven by the notes, a strong sense of imagery overwhelmed everyone. It was as if everyone was forcibly brought into a fantasy world. In an instant, everyone's emotions were tightly gripped by the music.
Even though this wasn't a sad piece, many people were still moved to tears without them even realizing it! This was a resonance from the soul, making the emotions hidden deep within a person burst forth instantly.
Charles played "Coffee Under the Stars" to a divine level. When the piece ended, everyone had a mesmerized look in their eyes. It wasn't until a minute after Charles' fingers left the keys that people began to applaud. Then, thunderous applause erupted! A few girls were so excited that they almost clapped till their hands turned red!
"It was so beautiful. I've never heard such a beautiful piece. Is this really 'Coffee Under the Stars'? Why does it sound ten times better than the original?"
"Incredible, Charles' piano skills are actually this high?"
"I've also studied piano for five years. Although I'm not very skilled, I can appreciate that the performance Charles just displayed is on par with international top pianists, if not better. His sense of immersion is stronger, which is something I've never felt before!"
"So Charles is really this talented. No wonder Jessica looks at him differently!"
"I got it all on video. I originally planned to record it as a joke, but now I have to save it well and post it on TikTok later!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Charles differently.
He wasn't just some simple loser; he was a low-key, introverted young man with astonishing talent. Mike's performance just now seemed amateurish compared to Charles.
The funny thing was an amateur dared to mock a professional in person. You bought a piano to show off and wanted to be in the spotlight. But you ended up showing off in front of a true master. Wasn't that just asking for humiliation?
Mike's expression was stiff. It didn't make sense. How could this loser Charles have such high piano skills?
Jessica didn't care about Mike's expression. She was completely mesmerized by Charles. In her impression, Charles was already excellent, not only with seventy-seven billion dollars in inherited assets but also agile and generous. Now, she discovered that Charles had even more qualities. He could actually play the piano? And he could play it so well?
Jessica had a Level 10 piano certificate. It was precisely because she had passed the Level 10 piano exam that she deeply understood the level of piano skill Charles had mastered. This was a true gem.
'I thought I knew him well enough. But every time I interact with him, he surprises me unexpectedly. It seems like my understanding of him is always just the tip of the iceberg,' she thought.
This man was too charming and so excellent that Jessica felt she might not be worthy of Charles!
[Jessica: Affection +1
Current affection: 95 points.]
"Detected that target number 3, Jessica, has successfully broken through 95 points of affection for the host. Congratulations to the host for successfully achieving Role Reversal!"
"Target number 3 has spent a total of fifteen million dollars in Special Funds, rewarding the host with one and a half million dollars!"
"Jessica has successfully become the host's simp, rewarding 25 enhancement points!"
"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill, Piano Mastery (since the host already possesses this skill, the system will automatically stack the skill, upgrading your piano skill to LV60!)"
[Current remaining enhancement points: 40]
"Can piano skills stack?" Charles was a bit confused! He previously thought that forcibly exchanging for piano skills was a bit of a loss, especially since Jessica already had piano skills. If he could Role Reversal her, he wouldn't need to exchange for it! After all, if he successfully pulled off a Role Reversal on her, the skills would overlap, which would be a bit of a loss. But now he found out that skills could stack. It didn't seem like much of a loss.
Jessica's piano skill was at level 10, but Charles was already at level 60. Maybe there wasn't a level 60 piano skill in the international grading system, but the system rated skills this way. How high it actually was, Charles didn't know either.
"Charles, your piano playing is really amazing. Why do you always surprise me?" Jessica was blushing, her big round eyes filled with admiration for him. Even though she was the Prom Queen, she had now become Charles' fangirl!
"Hey! Who's that girl in white? She looks so ethereal!" A high school classmate of Jessica suddenly exclaimed from outside the window.
"Is it Snow? Oh my god, my goddess is here!"
