Chapter 20: The Rehearsal Room
When Liu Jingxin returned to his residence, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.
After accompanying Tong Wenxuan for such a long journey, Liu Jingxin was almost sober, although he was very tired, although he yawned repeatedly, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He first posted the rental information on the Internet, and then browsed through the filtered rental information one by one.
The rehearsal room is even more difficult to find than Liu Jingxin expected, the professional hourly fee is too expensive, and the general housing will cause disturbances.
Liu Jingxin kept seeing that he still hadn't found a suitable one at four o'clock in the morning, so he didn't understand, how could he not even find a rehearsal room in such a big Kyoto?
Forget it, go to sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!
At around four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Liu Jingxin was woken up by a "cooing" stomach.
Tong Wenxuan didn't call, so I guess she should have slept for a day, right?
Liu Jingxin got up, washed, changed, went out, first found a random place to eat something, and then it was almost time to go to work.
Carrying his guitar to the cafΓ©, Liu Jing began his new day's work.
Working until nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Jingxin was full of anticipation, and finally waited for the moment to settle this week's salary.
When Liu Jingxin got the 4,200 yuan salary, he immediately noticed that the content on the system interface had changed.
Earn +4200!
[Level: Level 1.]
Rock Talent: Approval (197/10000)

β¦β¦γ
Immediately after, the system prompt sounds:
Congratulations to the host, task 1 has been completed, and rewards will be distributed soon.
γDing!Detect that the surrounding environment is not suitable for obtaining rewards, it is recommended to change the location before trying!γ
And it's not suitable to withdraw rewards? Do you want to give a guitar again?
If he gives the guitar again, Liu Jingxin hopes to have an electric guitar, after all, now that the band has been reorganized, he can't take an electric box piano to rehearse with the band!
Liu Jingxin almost trotted all the way back to his residence, and when he turned around and just closed the door, the expected system prompt sounded again:
γDing!Detection of the surrounding environment suitable for withdrawing rewards!Reward distribution, please wait!γ
Come on, come on, see what is being given this time!
Liu Jingxin rubbed his hands in anticipation, waited for a long time, but didn't wait for anything.
No, could it be that the reward is naughtily hidden by the system?
Liu Jingxin was very unwilling to search all over the house, and turned almost all the rooms upside down, but still found nothing.
Just when Liu Jingxin suspected that he was being tricked by the system, suddenly his mobile phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller was an unfamiliar number, so he answered it suspiciously.
As soon as the call was connected, a man's magnetic voice came from the mobile phone: "Hey, hello, I saw your request for rent on the Internet, do you want to rent a band rehearsal room?"
Liu Jingxin suddenly perked up, how could he bother to find the system reward, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes!"
The other party asked again, "Then when are you going to come to see the house?"
Liu Jingxin said: "I can do it at any time." β
The other party continued to ask, "What about now?"
"Now?" Liu Jingxin glanced up at the time hanging on the wall, and found that it was almost ten o'clock at night, so he frowned and asked, "It's not appropriate to be so late, right?"
The other party smiled: "Are you still afraid that I am a bad person?"
Liu Jingxin hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I was afraid that it would affect your rest." β
The other party said: "It's okay, I'm here right now, you can add my WeChat, the WeChat number is the mobile phone number, and then I'll send you the address." β
"Okay!" Liu Jingxin actually didn't want to delay, he waited for a day and finally waited for someone who was willing to rent a rehearsal room, and he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity if it dragged on for a long time.
Hanging up the call, Liu Jingxin added the other party's WeChat, and after passing the friend request, the other party immediately sent an address.
The rehearsal room is located in a commercial area on the edge of the Third Ring Road, where there are many bars, and Liu Jingxin has taken the band to perform a few times, so he is no stranger to it.
After determining the location, Liu Jingxin quickly took a taxi and rushed over.
Although it was late at night, the neighborhood was quite lively, with bright lights and neon lights, young men and women everywhere, standing on the street you could hear the chaotic sound of hi in the nearby bars, and from time to time you could see people holding the street lamp "wow" and vomiting, and the air was filled with the smell of not very good wine.
The rehearsal room is next to a KTV, on the basement floor of a two-story building, with a bar on the ground floor and a slow shake bar on the second floor. The elevator does not lead to the basement level, and you need to go down through a separate passage, which is very dark, with dim light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, and when you push open an iron door and walk in, you can see punk graffiti on both walls, and there is a lot of waste paper, waste packaging bags and other garbage on the ground.
Seeing such an external environment, Liu Jingxin frowned, and he had no expectations for the internal environment. Now he just expects the price to be reasonable and the landlord to talk to him.
Anyway, although this place looks dirty and messy, it will certainly not be disturbed by complaints, and it is much better to have a place to rehearse than to have nowhere to go.
Walking down the stairs to the basement floor, Liu Jingxin saw an anti-theft door in front of him. He raised his hand to ring the doorbell, and didn't wait long before he heard the door open.
The door opened, and standing inside was a young man in his thirties, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, very strong, wearing a T-shirt and jeans with holes, a nose ring on one nostril, a metal belt chain around his waist, and heavy smoky makeup on his face.
"I'm here to see the property. Liu Jingxin said.
The man nodded, and invited Liu Jingxin in with an expressionless face.
Originally, Liu Jingxin didn't have much expectations for this rehearsal room, but when he walked in, he found that it was very clean, there was no dust in every corner, every wall was soundproofed, and the floor was even specially mopped, with a bright lacquer surface. The space here is not small, there are about 30 square meters by sight, but the height of the floor is a little short, it is estimated that it is more than two meters, and you can touch the top of the floor by jumping.
The young man pulled over a chair and asked Liu Jingxin to sit down, then looked into Liu Jingxin's eyes and asked, "Can you introduce me to your band?"
"Huh?" Liu Jingxin was stunned when he heard this.
Isn't this a good step, isn't it time to ask if you are satisfied with the house, and then negotiate the price and payment method?
However, considering that the other party also played in a band, Liu Jingxin didn't think much about it, and immediately gave a general introduction to himself and the Friday band.
The man nodded, and then asked, "In other words, can you guarantee that no matter what obstacles you encounter in the future, you will continue to persevere?"
Liu Jingxin nodded solemnly and said, "Of course!"
The man got up slowly, sighed reluctantly, looked around the empty rehearsal room, and asked in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to smoke, drink, or shoot guns in the rehearsal room...... Anyway, you can't do any mess in the rehearsal room, can you do that?"
Liu Jingxin didn't expect that the other party was renting a house, and there were so many things, but he felt that the other party's request was quite reasonable, so he immediately nodded and said, "Of course you can!"
The man slowly took out a bunch of keys, stretched out his hand and handed them to Liu Jingxin, staring at Liu Jingxin with straight eyes: "This rehearsal room is yours, I hope you and your band can treat this place well and stick to the band here." β
Liu Jingxin took the key and asked suspiciously, "We haven't talked about rent or anything yet." β
The man smiled bitterly and said, "No need. β
