Two weeks ago, Qiao Sasa, who was entangled in many affairs, quit her job as a tutor in the Yin family, but Mrs. Yin soon called to say that Feng Lan and Long Lang missed her very much, and hoped that she could be a guest when she was free, but Qiao Sasa was now busy completing her tasks and had no time to take care of these idle things, so she temporarily agreed, and then put this matter on hold indefinitely in her heart.

Qiao Sasa now forms a band with four friends including Shen Wuchu and Xu Qianqian, called "Owes Orchestra", the activity venue is mainly the underground garage of Shen Wuchu's house, and the activity time is mainly weekday evenings and weekend daytime.

Qiao Sassa doesn't know how to play an instrument, she can only be the lead singer, but she actually has an average voice, and her current contribution to the band is only her appearance - she silently adjusted her face a little in a cool direction, and with her original tall figure, she only needs to stand on the stage to improve the professionalism of the entire band from the appearance.

"You can't sing like that, there's no infectious power in the song." Shen Wuchu said to Qiao Sasa.

Qiao Sassa was unconvinced: "I sang very moving!" ”

Talent is limited, not everyone has a beautiful voice like a musical instrument, and the soul composer of the orchestra Xu Qianqian's music style is biased towards psychedelic electronic music, Qiao Sasa's mediocre voice is difficult to control. She quickly thought that she could apply for a change in her voice, and preferably a musicality enhancement function or something.

Shi Qingyue felt that this was an opportunity, and after discussing with Lin π, he submitted a proposal to Yun Mengze to apply for the second ring members to prepare the Tianyan plug-in and upgrade the entire body and brain. I thought it would be blocked, but I didn't expect Yun Mengze to agree very simply, and it came with a brain data storage.

The updated Qiao Sasa dances with wind, his eyes are electrified, and his voice is magnetic, as if he has become the soul of the band, and when he performs at school, he has more fans than the other members combined.

The date for visiting the game company arrived, and Qiao Sasa came to the company's location with Xu Qianqian, Shen Wuchu and two other members of the band.

When Qiao Sasa and the others arrived, Lin π ke, Si Chenxin and Wendi's friends also arrived as promised.

As soon as everyone entered the garden, they were calmed by the quiet environment of birds and flowers, even Qiao Sassa was a little surprised, yesterday when everyone left, Qingyue did say that he wanted to write some decorations for the garden and the house, I didn't expect it to be so elegant:

From the outside, it is impossible to see what the garden is under the obscuration of the fence and trees, but as soon as I enter the courtyard gate, I immediately see a twenty-meter square front yard, the green grass is dotted with white dandelions that are almost transparent, and the two pieces of land at the foot of the house are covered with light blue forget-me-nots, like stars sprinkled in front of the window.

The most shocking thing is that the ordinary suburban villa is gone, replaced by a very modern ultra-fine alloy filament-like building looming in the sunlight, just like the sound and light fading effect of imagining the real world about to disappear into the virtual world.

"How did you build such a thin house?" Pirot was the first to break the long silence under the shock.

Even Qiao Sassa was a little stunned, but he didn't dare to get to the bottom of it in front of everyone, so he had to ask Lin π ke: "Can this live in people?" ”

Shi Qingyue pushed the door out and invited everyone into the house, Lin π ke, Qiao Sasa, Du Yu, Si Chenxin, and Wen Di walked behind in turn, and the rest of the people hesitated for a moment and followed in.

After entering the living room on the first floor, everyone saw that the alloy wire mesh was wrapped in non-reflective ultra-transparent glass. Qiao Sasa heard Xu Qianqian and them talking about it, probably the load-bearing of this building depends on glass, but Qiao Sasa knows very well that there are no physical laws in this world, let alone whether it bears weight or not.

Although Qiao Sasa also saw Qingyue write a bed before, she always felt that it was a small thing, and today she was caught off guard and saw Qingyue write the whole garden and house, Qiao Sasa suddenly realized the illusion of everything around her, the fear of fate being manipulated by others, and the need to escape from this game.

Shi Qingyue brought everyone from the hall where the fire could be seen through the glass floor to the circular conference room on the first floor. Qiao Sassa saw that sure enough, the conference room had also changed dramatically - the floor looked like it was made of carbon fiber, but it was not soft, hard, slippery or loud when stepped on, and the curved walls and dome-shaped ceilings above the floor all made a dynamic cosmic effect, as if everyone was meeting on an enclave in the deep space of the endless universe.

"I'm so scared!" Wen Di clenched Qiao Sasa's hand and said, "I seem to be sucked in......"

Qiao Sasa motioned Wen Di with his eyes to be steady in front of the new members, but Wen Di's clenched hand did not let go for a long time.

Lin π pointed to the carbon fiber circular sofa connected to the floor and said, "Everyone, please take a seat!" ”

Under the demonstration of Shi Qingyue and Lin π, a group of people sat down humbly, and unexpectedly, the arc of the sofa and the curve of everyone's waist and back can fit perfectly, so even if the material is not soft, it is not uncomfortable to sit on it at all.

Lin π looked around and asked in a much more stable tone than usual, "What do you think of the company's environment?" ”

Wang Beiling stood up and said, "It's very good...... It's a little too good, how can there be such advanced decoration technology? ”

Lin π gestured for him to sit down, and then said: "In fact, for people in our world, the only technology that exists is information technology. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Xu Qianqian was the first to ask: "Information technology is very important, I know this, but what does the only technology that exists mean?" ”

Lin π said in an unquestioning tone: "Because our world has no substance, it is written in code." ”

Shen Wuchu interjected: "I'm sorry, do you mean human society by 'our world', or the whole earth?" ”

Lin π Ke said: "It refers to all matter in the entire universe that all of us can observe. ”

In an uproar, Lou Wanyan asked in the noise: "You mean, our world is virtual, and the high-tech decoration in the company's house is all implemented in code?" ”

Lin π Ke stood up and high-fived him: "Clever!" Worthy of being the son of a physics teacher! ”

The people who heard their conversation fell silent. Bu Mengxian and Bu Mengjun quietly asked Qiao Sasa with a suspicious look: "What medicine did Lin π take wrong?" Didn't he talk nonsense like this before? ”

Qiao Sassa patted their heads and said, "Don't worry, be sober, what he said is true." ”

Shi Qingyue demonstrated how to modify the room in the conference room with code, and in less than half a minute, the cosmic background of the conference room was replaced by the background of the snowy plateau, and the circular sofa also became three rows of orderly seats, and the people on the sofa did not move, but changed to the seats.

Everyone present was so frightened that they didn't dare to squeak, Lu Haoyue broke the death-like calm and whispered to everyone to visit the office on the second floor with her. After going up to the second floor, the hard sci-fi style of the downstairs was changed, and the decoration features became a relaxed and pleasant natural style:

In the open office space, the floor is the fine white sand of a tropical beach, the chairs are like Bactrian camels kneeling in front of the ring-shaped soft sheep desk, each desk faces a wall with a separate background, and the sun rain under the ceiling that never falls on the ground, the rain stays an inch away from the head, and stays at the southernmost side of the office to form a small waterfall, Lin π leads everyone to jump into the waterfall and slide down the river, sliding to the backyard as vast as the sea.

The buoyancy of this water is set so much that people who can't swim can swim in it.

"Oh, I didn't bring a change of clothes!" Liu Xiwei, who has been silent, said.

"It's fine!" Lu Haoyue comforted her: "This water can't wet anything." ”

Qiao Sassa slipped back to the first floor while everyone was not paying attention, and saw Shi Qingyue sitting on the sofa in the hall.

"Is it okay to tell them so early?" Qiao Sassa asked worriedly.

"No way!" Shi Qingyue frowned and said: "I found code in the system that other organizations have not hidden, and there is more than one organization, we are considered to have started very late, we have to speed up the progress!" ”

Qiao Sasa listened to these words and seemed to understand a little, and was stunned and didn't know what to say.

"Sasa, don't worry!" Shi Qingyue took her hands and said, "You sing to your heart's content, study and work as much as you want, I promise to take care of your safety." ”

Qiao Sassa looked at a pair of clear eyes on Shi Qingyue's emaciated face, and felt that it was the only reality in the virtual world.

Qiao Sassa returned to the backyard, and Lin π Ke had already begun to assign tasks to the new members of the External Relations Department.

Qiao Sasa, Wen Di, and Si Chenxin temporarily became the leaders of the friends they brought, Du Yu didn't bring anyone, and Lin π Ke assigned the members he brought to him to manage.

Soon it was dinner time, and the excited new and old members were enjoying the vegetables, fruits, wine and meat written by Shi Qingyue in code in the backyard, and Wen Di looked at them enviously and said to Qiao Sasa: "I wasn't so happy when I first found out about this, but I'm still a little happier." ”

Qiao Sa was stunned: "Why were you unhappy at that time, I didn't see it?" ”

Wen Di's eyes suddenly dimmed: "Haoyue and Lin π Ke have a good relationship, you and Shi Qingyue are lovers, Si Chenxin is Luo Lang's girlfriend, I don't have anyone to rely on here, so I'm too embarrassed to express my worries......"

Qiao Sassa looked at her soft face, small figure, and thin shoulders, and suddenly felt a little distressed: "Everyone is your friend, don't say this kind of thing that no one relies on in the future, my shoulders are so wide that I can cover you!" ”

At this time, Xu Qianqian came over to greet Qiao Sasa: "We owe the orchestra to sing a song to cheer up, and the lead singer wants to make a shining debut!" ”

Qiao Sasa went to the office drawer to get a shiny dress to change into, and sang with the band members, which led to the atmosphere of the whole courtyard, and the water left from the second floor turned up the waves like a musical fountain, and the mercury-like raindrops fell on everyone's clothes, like rolling on lotus leaves, and the water passed without a trace.

After Qiao Sasa finished singing, the band members continued to play for everyone, and some members who liked to dance began to dance with the help of music and fountain effects.

Qiao Sasa recalled the singing just now, and felt a little unhappy, she calmed down and listened carefully to the band's performance, and felt that Xu Qianqian's composition and arrangement were very good, and the team members played very well, but the lyrics were not too profound, and she felt that the lyrics did not shine much.

At this time, she suddenly remembered that Wen Di said at a certain meeting that she wanted to be a writer in the future, so she must have a good writing, so she found Wen Di sitting and drinking a drink, and asked her if she was interested in writing lyrics for the orchestra.

"I don't know how to ......write poetry or lyrics," Wen Di said embarrassedly, "I really don't have so much passion, I like to write prose and novels." ”

Xu Qianqian, who was tired of playing and took a breath, heard their conversation, and came over to Qiao Sasa and said, "I just accidentally flipped through a hand-held ledger on a desk, on which are written beautiful modern poems, and you must be able to write us lyrics." ”

Lu Haoyue, who was on the side, was angry when she heard it: "Why are you turning over my account book!" ”

Xu Qianqian was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry I thought it was a book and turned it over, I only read one page, I swear...... I really only read one page! ”

Qiao Sassa was angry when she heard this: "Embarrassed me on the first day, I didn't see it, you are actually this kind of person!" ”

Probably smelling the smell of gunpowder here, Lin π Ke rushed over from the crowd, and after asking the reason, Lin π Ke proposed to let the orchestra hire Lu Haoyue as the chief lyricist as an atonement.

"What!" Wen Di hugged and said: "It is his honor for Haoyue to write lyrics for him, what is it to make amends?" ”

Xu Qianqian hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, after writing the lyrics, I will invite classmate Lu to have a big meal to make amends, okay?" ”

Qiao Sasa hated this kind of person who peeked at other people's things, and thought that he should not be his subordinate, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Come on, eating with you is a burden to others, and if you want to make amends, you can only help others solve the burden, their development and testing department is actually quite short of manpower, or I will talk to Shi Qingyue and let you go and make amends for her as a subordinate, right?" ”

Lin π Ke echoed and said: "This is a good idea, I just wanted to say that there are too few people in the development and testing department, and there are too many people in our external relations department, and your solution is very good!" ”

After Lin π Ke and Qiao Sasa discussed with Shi Qingyue, they consulted everyone's opinions, and finally Xu Qianqian, Lou Wanyan, Bu Mengxian, and Bu Mengjun joined the development and testing department.

That night, Lu Haoyue discussed the style of the lyrics with Qiao Sasa and Xu Qianqian.

"The reason why we call it the Owowing Orchestra is because we think that the main rhythm of this era is 'owing'." Xu Qianqian said: "Everyone is greedy for vanity, they want everything, and they don't care if they have enough or not, and they can't digest it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qiao Sasa deeply agreed: "I myself am the same, I have an involuntary feeling of insatiable greed. ”

Xu Qianqian added: "For example, every time our band performs, there are fewer fans, I just think we are not popular enough, very lost, there are more fans, I think we are too unavant-garde, why do I write things that so many people can understand?" Anyway, I just want to be at the forefront of the times, and I want the public to accept me, which is obviously impossible, but I can't control this thought. ”

Qiao Sasa also said: "Every time I post on Moments, I think this one must be cool enough, but other people's reactions are not more exciting than the previous one, and I feel angry." And this look, when I couldn't customize it before, I was crazy about makeup and dress, but now I can customize it, I thought I could stop a little, in fact, I began to dislike myself again, and my pinched face was not as good as Si Chen's pinch...... There is no end in sight to human desires! ”

Lu Haoyue thought for a while and said, "Then I want to write a title song for you, the title of the song is "Insatiable", okay?" ”

Xu Qianqian and Qiao Sasa both agreed.

The next day, Lu Haoyue handed over the lyrics of "Insatiable":

The audience spelled out the face of the whole era on the seat

The spotlight is too bright, but I see it all

The crowd was envious of me, frenzy but short-lived

I want to continue to shine every day

......

......

......

......

The shorter the brain circuit, the more extravagant the hope of immortality

This life, this life, and this life are not enough

What is destined to be lost, why bother pursuing it?

Who is blessed with the beauty on the tip of the knife?

......

......

......

......

The shallow footprints of the destined to be fleeting are all over the planet

Residual half a liter of oxygen travels through the universe

Stand at the exit of time and space

Should I go left or right?

Freedom of eternal life

Praise will always dissipate, and there is no end to loneliness.

.......

Competitiveness never stops

Is it a gift from the Creator, or a curse from God?

"It's awesome to write, Daqian, you have a good eye!" Qiao Sassa praised: "But why is the rhythm of this sentence so familiar?" ”

"I'm not a person with a good sense of rhythm, so I just found a pop song score and filled in the lyrics." Lu Haoyue covered her mouth and snickered: "Why don't you sing the demo next time and then fill in the lyrics for me?" ”

Xu Qianqian patted his head and said: "It's all because I didn't ask for your opinion in advance, some people like to write words first and then music, but I didn't expect you to like to fill in the lyrics according to the score." ”

Lu Haoyue responded with a light smile: "It's okay, I didn't know it before, it's the first time I've written words." ”

After a few days of arranging and contacting, at the weekend campus concert of the owe orchestra, Qiao Sassa and the owe orchestra sang "Insatiable" for the first time, and the fans gave them a very enthusiastic response, and many people posted the video recorded on the spot to their circle of friends and various social networks. After the concert, Qiao Sassa couldn't wait to search for keywords such as "owe the orchestra" and "insatiable" on the Internet in the background, and found that the song video had been forwarded, commented and liked a lot.

Shen Wuchu laughed at her: "In the "Insatiable" I just sang, it is said that a moment of vanity can't survive endless time and space - the praise will always dissipate, and the loneliness will be endless...... Why did you forget about it as soon as you finished singing it, and you began to become obsessed with these false hustles! ”

Qiao Sasa gave him a punch: "It's as if you didn't post a concert video to brush up on the circle of friends!" ”

When the two were fighting each other, a handsome and strange middle-aged man came in the background, holding five business cards, and sent one to one of the band members, and then said: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou You, I am the CEO of Lidu Times Giant Wolf Media Co., Ltd., I came to my alma mater to visit the teacher tonight, passing by your concert site, I feel very touched in my heart after listening to it, I think your lyrics, songs, and singing are very good, and the image and temperament of the lead singer are also perfectly matched with the style of the band, which deserves better packaging and investment. So I sincerely invite you to sign a contract with our company, I don't know what your intentions are? ”

The team members look at me, I look at you, and they feel that this thing is too sudden, and they don't know how to respond.

Qiao Sassa suddenly remembered that he was also a person with a Tianyan plug-in, so he glanced at his personal information, which scared Qiao Sassa a a lot, and wanted to find a hole to hide on the spot - this is a player!

Qiao Sasa was apprehensive in her heart, but her face did not show any timidity, she said lightly: "It's a great honor, but we have to go back and discuss with our parents before replying to you." ”

When she said this, Qiao Sasa quickly looked through his profile again, and found that he was not only a player, but also a stellar level player, she remembered that Shi Qingyue said that the stellar level was already good among players, not a novice.

Zhou You politely said goodbye: "Understood! Well, if there is no reply within a week, I will come back to your concert to express my sincerity. ”

When Zhou You said goodbye to everyone, he seemed to deliberately look at Qiao Sasa's side for a few more seconds. Qiao Sassa suddenly felt that his eyes were familiar, and after thinking about it, he felt that there are only so many types of faces in this world, and there are always overlapping details, such as the arc of the smile and the eyes of people......

Zhou You smiled vaguely at Qiao Sa, turned around and left.

Qiao Sasa felt that this matter was not suitable to discuss with Shi Qingyue on her mobile phone, so she hurriedly asked Shen Wuchu to send her to Shi Qingyue's house, but she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Qingyue's parents' car driving into the courtyard gate.

"Let's go to Lin π Ke." Shen Wuchu comforted Qiao Sasa: "Anyway, Shi Qingyue is not very good at communicative things. ”
