Chapter 306: Chapter 155: Experience Game of the Tyrant

Shan Zhentian: "Piaopiao, aren’t you afraid of the cold?"

Liu Piaopiao: "My heart’s already gone cold. Why would I be afraid of a popsicle?"

Shan Zhentian: "I was just trying to train your willpower. That’s why I ignored you."

Liu Piaopiao: "I’m not one of your soldiers, I’m your wife. What’s the point of training me? Thank goodness Little Rannan felt sorry for me and found me a pair of shoes. Otherwise, you’d be short one wife."

"Fine. After this, I’ll have to properly ask Su Ran for some lessons. I’ll humbly study the art of doting on one’s wife." As he spoke, Shan Zhentian patted Su Ran’s shoulder. "Su Ran, not bad! You did great. When we get home later, I’ll paint a ’Mother’s Love and Son’s Filial Piety’ for you."

Su Ran: "Great! I’d be honored to receive a piece from Uncle Shan."

Shan Zhentian laughed heartily. "Hahaha, my paintings are still a far cry from yours."

Hearing this, Lou Shishi asked curiously, "Zhentian, are you saying Su Ran can paint too?"

Shan Zhentian: "Of course. He paints very well. A girl as proud as Weizi wouldn’t even give a man a second look if he didn’t have some extraordinary talent, would she?"

Lou Shishi: "Oh, so Su Ran is a hidden artist? What are you best at painting?"

"I... I..." Su Ran wanted to say his specialty was the kind of ’Forbidden Painting’ that would need to be censored, the type Tang Bohu was famous for. Of course, he couldn’t say that. Su Ran could also paint people with clothes on, it was just that his clothed subjects weren’t as stunning as his unclothed ones. "Uh... portraits. If you’d like, milady, I could paint one for you."

"Great! How about painting one for me when we get home?"

"No problem."

Eating their popsicles and chatting, they paid no attention as several acts came and went on stage. They were only waiting for the final headliner, Shan Weizi.

After waiting impatiently through several more performances, it was finally Shan Weizi’s turn. Su Ran quickly raised his DSLR camera and aimed it at the stage.

The stage lights went dark, and a wave of excitement passed through the audience. Everyone knew what was next: the climax of "Dreaming of the Tang Dynasty," the "Feathered Robe Dance," a legendary performance lost for a thousand years.

The sound of plucked strings emerged from the darkened stage.

The lingering notes of the zither seemed to transport everyone back to the Great Tang, to the most prosperous, magnificent, and open era in the history of China—the Golden Age of the Tang Dynasty.

White smoke billowed up from the stage, and the lights shifted to a brilliant gold, creating the magnificent atmosphere of a royal court.

At that moment, audience members in the back started pushing forward to get a better view.

Shan Zhentian supported the old man, shielding him from being knocked over by the people behind them.

Su Ran pulled Lou Shishi and Liu Piaopiao in front of him, especially since Sister Piaopiao was wearing a tight-fitting qipao. He wanted to prevent any wandering hands from taking advantage of the crowd to grope her.

"Nice one."

The two women turned and gave him a thumbs-up.

"It’s what I should do."

In the past, Sister Piaopiao wouldn’t have let Su Ran stand behind her, worried he would be fantasizing about her.

But now that they had known each other for a while, she knew his intentions were pure, so she wasn’t worried.

Su Ran focused on holding back the crowd behind him. ’Don’t push!’ he thought. ’Otherwise I’ll bump into Sister Piaopiao. And even if I don’t bump into Sister Piaopiao, bumping into milady would be bad, too.’

Just then, as the musical prelude ended, Shan Weizi descended slowly onto the stage, aided by a wire harness, like a Nine Heavens Fairy gracing the mortal world.

Her dance was breathtaking, embodying the majesty of the Golden Age of the Tang Dynasty.

Su Ran was completely won over by Shan Weizi. ’This woman dances so well,’ he thought. ’She’s truly one of those people who seems to have a permanent buff, a winner at everything she does in life.’

Su Ran remained planted in his spot, determined not to let the people behind push him into Sister Piaopiao.

DING—

’Life is full of surprises.’

’Enjoy life and you’ll get cards.’

’Rule the world when awake, rest on a beauty’s lap when drunk. Congratulations, Host, you have received a ’Tyrant Game Experience Card’!’

"???"

Su Ran knew the system’s disposition all too well. The moment he saw the keywords ’private’ + ’maximum,’ he knew it was up to no good.

’Tsk, so the system is playing coy now,’ Su Ran thought. ’It used to just get straight to the point, but now it’s asking for permission? This system is getting more and more two-faced.’

Su Ran ruthlessly pressed [Continue Installation].

Su Ran didn’t care about the money. He just wanted to know if these ’tasks’ were proper or not.

System: (→_→)

PFFT—

The moment he saw that expression, Su Ran understood. The tasks were going to be very ’proper’ indeed.

Su Ran really wanted to say to the system, ’Let me just say, thank you so much.’ It had really gone to great lengths to make sure the Host had new and interesting ways to play every day, keeping things from getting boring.

"Alright! I’ll study this carefully when I get back, then I’ll send it to all of them so they can play too."

...

Just then, the music stopped and the dance ended. She bowed in thanks, a perfect finale, and the crowd erupted in applause.

"Let’s go. We’ll wait for Weizi outside."

Su Ran shielded the two women as they squeezed their way back through the crowd.

Lou Shishi said, "Piaopiao, your Su Ran is actually really sweet."

Liu Piaopiao said proudly, "Of course. Little Rannan is very considerate. Right, Little Rannan~?"
