Chapter 98: Orina Playing the Ukulele
Alan returned to his room and opened the system mall. After rummaging through it, he saw what he was looking for.
While listening to the sound effects of his gold coins being deducted from the system, Alan’s heart ached a little.
It was something that was very cheap in his previous life, but how could the price in the system be thousands of times higher.
After buying it, an icon of a small box appeared in his backpack.
Alan took it out directly.
Feeling his hand sank, he lowered his head and saw a very luxurious and simple wooden box.
On it were carvings that Alan could not understand. It was a picture with extremely simple lines.
After gently opening the buckle and lifting the lid of the box, a delicate ukulele with golden strings lay quietly in the box.
Alan was quite familiar with this kind of musical instrument. In his previous life, he liked to fiddle with it in his free time.
However, this was a good ukulele that he had never seen before. The entire box emitted a natural flavor, as if it was born in this shape and had not been artificially sculpted.
After admiring it for a while, Alan closed the box and carefully checked the introduction given by the system again. He finally understood why this ukulele was so expensive.
Holding the ukulele box, he took the music score and went downstairs to deliver the gift.
Orina sat in her original position with a sweet smile on her face.
“Let’s see if you like this gift.”
Alan didn’t enter the bar again. Instead, he walked to Orina’s side and handed the ukulele box to her.
Orina took the box with a face full of expectation. However, when she saw the wooden box, her expression obviously froze. Judging from the box, it looked very expensive. She felt a little uneasy.
“This gift…” Orina looked at Alan, not knowing how to ask.
“You don’t like It?” Alan saw her expression and felt a little awkward. He was worried that she didn’t like it, but he couldn’t say it out loud.
Orina shook her head. “No, it’s just that this is very expensive, you…”
Alan looked at her in confusion. He suddenly thought of the first time he saw Orina.
“Are you worried that it’s too expensive?”
Orina nodded.
Alan let out a long breath. The price did not matter as long as she liked it.
“You scared me for a moment. Don’t worry. This price is acceptable to me now. It’s nothing. If you like it, you can accept it without worry.”
Seeing that Alan’s expression did not seem to be fake and did not seem to be reluctant at all, Orina relaxed and became happy again. She carefully observed her gift.
She carefully caressed the reliefs of the wooden box in her hand.
“Do you know what the picture carved on it means?”
Orina suddenly raised her head and asked Alan.
He shook his head honestly.
Seeing Alan Shake his head, she suddenly smiled and said, “The picture carved on it is Hailar’s oldest hymn. It represents the most beautiful blessing passed down from ancient times.”
“That’s a lucky hit. Luckily it doesn’t represent a curse. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed.” Alan said in a self-deprecating manner.
Orina opened the buckle on the box and the lid was opened. A ukulele that she had never seen before lay quietly inside. Its beauty instantly attracted her attention.
Alan looked at Orina’s fascinated look at the ukulele in the box and knew that she was satisfied with this gift.
The ukulele in the box seemed to have magic power, and the golden strings on the ukulele were emitting a dazzling light.
The customers of the tavern were also very concerned about the progress of the young couple. When they saw Orina opened the box, they were very curious.
After a long time, Orina gently took out the never-before-seen ukulele from the box.
Everyone finally saw what kind of gift Alan had given her.
Based on the golden strings, the customers guessed that the strange-looking thing was a new musical instrument?
Orina gently stroked the body of the ukulele, her face full of happiness.
“This is a new musical instrument, right? Is it really okay for you to give it to me just like that?”
Alan looked at her conflicted expression and felt that it was rather cute.
She was like a very well-brought-up child. When she found out the gift was very expensive, she would be afraid to accept it, and she was very reluctant to return it.
“Don’t worry, take it. This is specially made for you. Look carefully at the words carved on the ukulele.”
Alan reminded her to look carefully at the position of the ukulele.
Orina lowered her head to look at the hidden position of the ukulele. Her name was clearly carved on it. At this moment, she finally believed what Alan meant when he said that it was specially made for her.
Sensing Alan’s intention, the beautiful elf lady instantly blushed. Her ears trembled slightly, and the red color on it was clearly visible.
The people in the tavern were once again blinded by their lovey-dovey action. They covered their cheeks and grimaced, making strange expressions.
“Alan, What’s this instrument called?”
After Orina calmed down, she calmly accepted the surprise gift.
“Ukulele!” He answered.
“Then how should it play?”
“Hold it like this, and then the score is here. You can play it while looking at the score…”
Alan held Orina’s hand and adjusted her posture. When his hand touched her, her heartbeat once again sped up.
The young couple at the bar were in a sweet and sweet relationship. The drinkers had enough of their PDA, so they simply moved their gazes away from the two of them.
Alan was completely unaware of the strange gazes of the others, and seriously taught Orina the basic fingering method of the ukulele.
He was quite satisfied with his intelligent student. She knew what to do after just saying it once. She could play the music fluently after stumbling over it once.
Her powerful learning ability was really beyond Alan’s expectations.
Soon, Orina could read the music score and sing at the same time. The music of “New Soul” sounded in the tavern. This song was one of Alan’s favorite songs from his previous life.
The gentle and slow rhythm, coupled with Orina’s slightly playful voice singing the song, made Alan feel that it had a different flavor.
The originally lively environment of the tavern gradually quieted down with Orina’s singing. Even the group of people playing mahjong in the corner also stopped.
They were immersed in the beautiful singing of the elf lady.
A song that no one had ever heard before had successfully captured everyone after Orina’s singing.
Alan sat on the chair opposite her with a smile on his face. He was intoxicated by her performance.
After the song ended, the tavern erupted into a burst of intense cheers after a period of silence.
Orina was also extremely excited after thanking everyone.
Alan saw that expression on her face again. It was relaxed, impudent, and unrestrained.
“Alan, does this ukulele have a name? I felt like it was alive just now.”
Orina excitedly shared the experience of playing the ukulele with Alan just now.
“It’s called ‘Elf’. Its hidden ability is that the higher the level of performer, the more attention the listener will be able to raise and immerse themselves in the performance.”
Alan told Orina about the special ability of this ukulele. It was precisely because of this attribute that its price was so high in the mall.
Orina was also shocked when she heard it. She did not expect it to be such a skill. If it was used on the battlefield and coordinated well, it would be a great weapon.
“Alan, thank you for this gift. I never thought that you would actually prepare such an expensive gift for me…”
Orina pondered for a long time and finally found the voice that she had lost because of her shock.
Alan stopped her from continuing. He was just preparing a gift for his friend.
After all, at the beginning of the tavern’s opening, if it weren’t for Orina’s help, he didn’t know what he would be like now.
Orina had been holding the ukulele in her hands all the time. Even when she was sleeping, she had to keep the zither within reach.
Sofia was surprised to see her queen rush to Rock City so quickly, and she was very touched.
She had thought that the queen was rushing to Rock City because the queen was worried about her safety. But when she found out that she had come back from the tavern and received a gift from Alan, she instantly felt that she should have been injured more severely at that time so that Alan would feel guilty for a little longer.
