Chapter 728 - The Heart Broken Lady Zhao (2/2)
Su Li knew that Da Vinci was more than just a painter, and Lady Zhao was the only person worthy to be called his successor!
Zhao Youyue was now famous across the country, most probably because of her talent and mastery in music. Ordinary people knew her music as modern aged and forever refreshing. Experts who knew more saw her as a true master of classical music!
If Zhao Youyue ever randomly organized a live concert in any musical hall, the tickets would be sold out within a day!
Her classical music fans could never enjoy the music if other experts played her tracks. Nobody played like Zhao Youyue, where they would be brought into another beautiful world where there was only happiness. Such music seeped right into their hearts!
Zhao Youyue’s classical music fans thought this girl was so gifted that she did not need to work for a living but focus only on classical music. She might even be the next Mozart or Beethoven…
Those who had pursued a similar path with zealous passion would always be saddened when Zhao Youyue was mentioned. Even a lifetime of hard work would never get them to where she so effortlessly was. The gap between them and Zhao Youyue was so wide; only a miracle could narrow down the gap, but never actually surpass her.
Music aside, the public was well aware of Zhao Youyue’s lethal gaming skills. If she put her heart into it, no game would be too difficult for her.
Recently, she had produced live broadcasts of a game called “Frostpunk.” In the world of ice, people used steam technology to fight against the weather. It was a farming survival game that put humanity to the challenge. There were times where sacrifices must be made for the larger portion of humanity to survive.
In the end, Zhao Youyue made it through without sacrificing anyone. She was so skilled in management that nobody had to die. The coal supply never once waned, and food was well-supplied. Children did not need to work, and nobody died in the extreme weather. The whole city was like a warm cottage in the apocalypse.
Weaker players would need to make their choices between survival and guilt. You had to sometimes sacrifice half of the population to keep another half alive. You had to fight against the other tribes in London and deny the refugees entry. Everything inhumane and immoral beneath the sun must be done in order to be the last one standing.
After winning the game, players would appreciate life as it was and appreciate the warmth in life that we could give and take. Then, players would appreciate the hard decisions our leaders had to make.
When the audience watched Zhao Youyue play this game, she completely defeated the purpose of that life lesson!
One could almost start to hear the song “We’re Different” beginning to play in the background. [2]
So we’ve covered her music and her gaming abilities. But Zhao Youyue still had more talent to show, such as voice acting and A-class acting. She seemed to have maxed out life itself!
Su Li intended to delve into the depths of Lady Zhao’s talents. What would she surprise the world with next? Would it be literature, or some crazy new invention…
