Chapter 42 The Legendary Three Waves Mantra
Hu Yifei said to Lu Zhanbo in a helpless tone, "Describe her outfit today to me, and I'll help you with the lines."
Lu Zhanbo looked Lin Wanyu up and down and laughed, "Wanyu, look at you today, your long hair... is flowing like a waterfall!"
This was the first time Lin Wanyu had ever heard someone compliment her hair like that, and she was taken aback.
"Fair skin..."
Hu Yifei quickly came up with an adjective and said to Lu Zhanbo, "So delicate it could be broken with a touch."
Whether it was a bad signal or Hu Yifei's voice was too soft for Lu Zhanbo to hear clearly, he actually changed it to: "Playing instruments and singing!"
Hu Yifei: ? ? ? ?
Lin Wanyu forced a smile to hide her embarrassment.
Lu Zhanbo forced himself to continue, "And a sweet smile... she's practically dancing on the floor."
"What is all this?" Lu Zhanbo couldn't even stand listening to it anymore.
Lin Wanyu smiled slightly.
"When did you become so eloquent? I've never heard anyone describe a girl like that before."
Seeing Lu Zhanbo's passive attitude, Hu Yifei said to him, "Ignore her. The first wave of the Three Waves Mantra: Romance! Music starts!"
Lu Zhanbo secretly turned on the music next to him.
As soon as the music started, Lin Wanyu calmly said, "This is Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, isn't it?"
Lu Zhanbo asked in surprise, "You also know about classical music?"
"Oh, just a little bit." Lin Wanyu smiled modestly.
Hu Yifei frowned and said, "Zuo Shandiao, change to a song she hasn't heard before."
Lu Zhanbo quickly changed to another song.
As soon as the music started, Lin Wanyu immediately said, "Liszt's Liszt Dream."
"Let's change to another song."
As soon as the music started, Lin Wanyu guessed it again.
"The second movement of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2".
Hu Yifei said defiantly, "I won't believe it if you change it again."
The music changed again.
"The theme song of Doraemon, la..." Lin Wanyu replied happily and sang along with the music.
Lu Zhanbo's expression froze.
You even know anime songs?
Hu Yifei said speechlessly, "She wouldn't happen to be a graduate of a music academy, would she?"
Lu Zhanbo stared in surprise, mouth agape. "You graduated from the music academy, right?"
Lin Wanyu was suddenly jolted awake by Lu Zhanbo's suspicions.
"Huh? No, it isn't."
"Then how do you know so much about music? You know the name of every single one." Lu Zhanbo looked at Lin Wanyu with a puzzled expression.
"Uh... I sold them before..." Lin Wanyu racked her brains for a solution, then a brilliant idea struck her, and she quickly said, "Pirated CDs! That's why you listen to them so often, you know!"
Lu Zhanbo: (◎_◎;)
"Judging by his demeanor, how could he possibly outsell pirated CDs? Forget it, Zuo Shandiao, the second wave of the Three Waves Mantra is a waste!"
Hu Yifei was a little confused.
Upon hearing that the second phase of his offensive was about to begin, Lu Zhanbo pulled out a cigar from somewhere, crossed his legs, and asked in a cocky tone, "Mind if I smoke a cigar?"
Lin Wanyu said calmly, "Of course not. Can I take a look?"
Lu Zhanbo gestured for him to proceed.
Lin Wanyu picked up a cigar, smelled it, and laughed, "Brazilian cigars have the best reputation in the world, and this Danaman cigar has always had a good reputation. It's a pity that this one is a bit moldy."
Lu Zhanbo choked a little: "Pfft..."
Hu Yifei kept a close eye on the other side and said into the walkie-talkie, "Light a cigarette. Remember, be confident!"
Lu Zhanbo held the cigar in his mouth, took out a wad of US dollars from his pocket, and then lit the dollars with a lighter.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Lin Wanyu quickly snatched the US dollar bill, then put out the fire, frowning as she said, "Why are you doing this?"
Lu Zhanbo mimicked Hu Yifei's words, saying, "Hmph! Don't blame me for being wasteful; it's just a lifestyle choice."
"Is your lifestyle all about using counterfeit money?"
Lin Wanyu looked at Lu Zhanbo in surprise.
"Huh?" Lu Zhanbo interrupted the performance, bewildered.
Lin Wanyu explained, "Look, the back of a real US dollar bill is dark green. The colors on yours are not pure enough and are very dull."
Furthermore, the printing of the lines and patterns on the banknote should be clear and smooth. This one is blurry and faded, lacking depth in the design. Most importantly, the U.S. Treasury Department ceased issuing these $10,000 banknotes as early as 1969; they are no longer in circulation.
Finally, Lin Wanyu asked with some concern, "Zhanbo, you weren't scammed, were you?"
"Your family owns a bank, right?" Lu Zhanbo was both amused and exasperated as he looked at Lin Wanyu, who spoke with such conviction.
Lin Wanyu's heart tightened, and she said hastily, "Ah? No, how could that be? I... I studied in New York for a few days, so I know a little about the US dollar."
"Didn't you just say you bought pirated copies? How do you have the money to study in New York?"
Lu Zhanbo seemed to have discovered a loophole.
"Oh, well, during our spare time, we did part-time jobs, and our teacher would take us to Chinatown to sell pirated goods." Lin Wanyu could only continue to use one lie to cover up another.
Lu Zhanbo: (「▔□▔)
It's hard to imagine that Wanyu's experiences were so rich!
Hu Yifei gritted her teeth and said, "Zuo Shandiao, let's fight her! Three Waves Mantra, Third Wave, Wave~ Shout!"
Lu Zhanbo invited, "Wanyu, I suddenly feel like singing. Will you come with me?"
"OK."
Lin Wanyu agreed with a smile, feeling relieved.
Almost exposed...
Lu Zhanbo turned on the television that had been prepared in advance.
As the melody of "The Boatman's Love" began, Lu Zhanbo sang in a monotonous voice: "Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat~ Brother, you walk on the shore~"
"Be more masculine, even more masculine! Show your manly charm, chest out, stomach in, head up."
Hu Yifei immediately broke down after hearing Lu Zhanbo's singing.
Lu Zhanbo's singing was like a primary school student reading a composition—very earnest, but utterly devoid of emotion...
No matter what Hu Yifei said, Lu Zhanbo was completely absorbed in his own musical world.
Lin Wanyu, who loved music, couldn't stand it any longer. She snatched the song from Lu Zhanbo and sang in a very manly voice: "Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat! Brother, I walk on the shore! Loving each other..."
Lu Zhanbo and Hu Yifei were stunned by Lin Wanyu's imposing figure.
When the music reached the female part, Lu Zhanbo thought that since Wanyu was singing male voices, he would sing female voices, which would be a good opportunity to make the most of his strengths.
But before he could even speak, Lin Wanyu sang in a completely different, gentle tone: "Little sister~ I sit at the bow of the boat~ Brother, you walk on the shore~~"
When it came to the male part, Lin Wanyu smoothly switched to a very masculine tone.
"Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat~ I'll walk on the shore..."
The singing segment that followed became a one-woman show for Lin Wanyu.
Lu Zhanbo awkwardly held the microphone, looking at Lin Wanyu with a bewildered expression as she effortlessly switched between male and female voices, unsure of how to begin.
Hu Yifei lost.
Not only did they encounter a god-like opponent, but they also had a teammate who was as useless as a pig. The buffs were stacked to the maximum!
