When 'God' Decides To Start Over
Chapter 61: Absolute Pitch

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Absolute Pitch

Kun Sha couldn’t bear to witness Li Xiu’s death and turned his head to the side.

But suddenly he heard a familiar voice shout, "Kun Sha, what are you doing? Hurry up and stop the ball."

Kun Sha immediately realized the voice was Li Xiu’s. He turned his head in surprise and indeed saw Li Xiu standing in the circle, alive, while the soccer ball was already in his circle.

Kun Sha stretched out his foot to stop the ball, and to his astonishment, he found that the ring on his hand did not explode, and Li Xiu was also unharmed.

"How could this be?" Kun Sha was bewildered but mostly filled with delight.

"The second round of trials is over, the third round of trials begins."

Music began to play again.

"Didn’t you notice? The trial rules only state that four rounds of tests will be conducted, but they don’t specify that four people must be eliminated, nor do they say only one person can survive the trial." Li Xiu explained.

"What’s the difference?" Shale was still confused.

"The rule is that when the music ends, whichever trial taker’s circle the ball is in, that trial taker will be eliminated. If at the end of the music, the soccer ball isn’t in any trial taker’s circle, then no one will be eliminated." Li Xiu continued to explain.

"But how do you know that if the music stops, and the ball is in someone else’s circle, that person won’t be eliminated?" Pa Shan was also puzzled.

"We just tested it; the result proves that as long as the soccer ball is not within the circle at the moment the music stops, no one will be eliminated." Li Xiu urged, "Quickly pass the ball out, there’s not much time left."

"It’s still not right; how do you know when the music will stop?" Kun Sha still didn’t pass the ball and stared at Li Xiu.

"I wouldn’t joke with my life. Trust me, there’s not much time left. Pass the ball here first, and I’ll slowly explain to you." Li Xiu said helplessly.

Kun Sha deeply looked at Li Xiu, then passed the ball to Pa Shan, who immediately passed it to Shale, and Shale quickly passed it to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu stopped the ball, standing at the edge closest to Kun Sha, seemingly listening to the music with his head down.

Shale anxiously wanted to ask something but hadn’t gotten the words out when he suddenly saw Li Xiu kick the ball away.

Just after Li Xiu kicked the ball out of the circle, the music on the light screen stopped. The ball slowly rolled a bit farther and reached Kun Sha’s circle.

Kun Sha and the other two were ecstatic; now they could finally be sure that Li Xiu had indeed found the BUG in this trial.

In other words, all four of them could survive.

"The third round of trials is over, the fourth round of trials begins."

Music began to play again, this time Kun Sha unhesitatingly passed the ball, and soon the soccer ball reached Li Xiu’s feet once again.

"Li Xiu, how exactly do you know when the music will stop?" Shale couldn’t help but ask.

"There are a few different notes, and that’s when the music stops. As long as the ball is kicked out at the first different note, controlling the ball speed slightly will do." Li Xiu explained as simply as possible.

Kun Sha and the others immediately listened closely to the music, but no matter how they listened, the music was just a few simple notes repeating over and over, each repetition was exactly the same, and they couldn’t hear any differences.

"What’s different about the notes? I don’t hear anything." Shale asked, feeling frustrated.

Li Xiu thought to himself, "That’s because your ears aren’t skilled enough. If it were Bai Qiuyi, that guy would surely hear it."

Li Xiu had no understanding or interest in music, but Bai Qiuyi loved music very much and often attended concerts.

Once, Bai Qiuyi dragged Li Xiu to hear a live concerto performance and whispered to Li Xiu that one of the piano keys was not tuned correctly during the performance.

Among so many instruments, being able to hear that one piano key was not tuned correctly is quite a formidable skill.

Bai Qiuyi proudly told Li Xiu that his ability was called "Absolute Pitch," a natural talent that is rare, different from something acquired through training.

Li Xiu didn’t think much of his so-called Absolute Pitch because after Bai Qiuyi pointed out the wrong note, Li Xiu could also hear it.

Thinking of Bai Qiuyi, Li Xiu sighed inwardly, "Why not just be a good Magic Armor Master? Why insist on being a Trial Taker, risking your life—is it really worth it?"

Li Xiu himself seemed unaware that he was walking down Bai Qiuyi’s path.

Before the fourth round of music ended, Li Xiu kicked the ball out, and all four of them lived to complete the final trial.

"Final trial ends, rewards are randomly generating... Each person can receive two types of rewards..."

Soon, a light screen appeared in front of each person, displaying four icons.

The icons in front of Li Xiu included Demon Core, Attribute, Skill, and Entry Ticket.

Pa Shan and Shale had the same, including Demon Core, Attribute, Talent, and Skill.

Kun Sha’s options were Demon Core, Attribute, Talent, and Entry Ticket.

Li Xiu wasn’t sure if it was coincidence, but the two who had previously obtained Entry Tickets were randomly assigned Entry Tickets again.

"Pa Shan, Shale, don’t choose the rewards yet. Wait for me to come out before you make your choice." Kun Sha said, selecting Talent and Entry Ticket.

A fiery-red talent Ruby appeared before Kun Sha and quickly merged into his body.

The Entry Ticket was also projected out, forming a vortex that absorbed Kun Sha.

"Also wait for me a moment, I’ll come out quickly." Li Xiu chose Skill and Entry Ticket.

A fiery-red Skill Ring was imprinted on Li Xiu’s finger, and the skill information simultaneously flooded into his mind.

Blood Boiling: S-level trial skill, activates body potential to exert two hundred percent ability.

Though it overlapped with Li Xiu’s previous Blood Boiling skill, the level was different; both skills were retained, and the S-level skill was far superior to the E-level skill in many ways.

There was no time restriction for use, with a two hundred percent boost, meaning one could double their physical capabilities.

However, compared to the same S-level skill Super Exciting, it lacked a special effect.

As Li Xiu was comparing the two S-level skills, the Entry Ticket had already turned into a red vortex, pulling him inside.

The familiar dark space, dim copper lamps, and ancient stone table looked similar to what Li Xiu had experienced before, but not exactly the same.

The style of the copper lamps and stone table differed, and behind the stone table, there was no blue Metal Coffin.

Not seeing Kun Sha, Li Xiu’s gaze landed on the stone table, and he was stunned to see what was on it.

Kun Sha had said he saw a hammer on the stone table, but what was on it now was not a hammer.
