After Raven finished digesting the memory of Lindy, she couldn't help but sigh; it seemed that almost every celebrity encountered one challenge or another.
She sat back, staring at her hands, the same hands she thought had worked so hard. The callouses and blisters seemed insignificant now. With a wistful smile, she shook her head, feeling a bit of her past immaturity slip away.
'I thought I was the only one making sacrifices'
Thinking she was working hard and making sacrifices had seemed so significant, but now, understanding the broader spectrum of struggles others faced, she realized her perspective had been narrow.
The sacrifices she made were real, but so were those of countless others.
Curious about Lindy's thoughts after seeing her memory, Raven decided to summon the system panel to chat with her.
As she summoned the system panel, a notification popped up, momentarily distracting her from her thoughts.
[Congratulations to the members of the system for completing the hidden task: Memory Sharing.]
[The system has been successfully upgraded to level 2 and a new function has been opened up.]
Raven's eyes widened with curiosity. She quickly navigated to the new Task Function, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
The new function that had been opened up was called the Task Function, and she clicked on it.
Task Function: The system will provide various tasks based on the situations of the members of the system. The system tasks aren't mandatory but will definitely be rewarded with points, skill points, songs, movie scripts, etc....
Seeing the various rewards from the system tasks, Raven had a feeling that she was about to develop.
Her mind raced with possibilities, a dreamy smile spreading across her face. "A movie script... directing skills... I could be the director, writer, and actor," she whispered, excitement bubbling up inside her.
Imagining if she obtained a movie script or directing skills—wouldn't she be the director, writer, and actor in her own movie? That would be really cool.
Excited by the possibilities, she imagined obtaining a movie script or directing skills, When she carefully examined her panel, she noticed another change; it concerned her skills. Her fingers trembled slightly as she navigated through the new information.
She saw many skills that she hadn't seen before, and judging from the names, they should be skills she inherited from Lindy's memory.
[Skill:
- Ear Training (Level 9): Excellent ability to recognize and reproduce pitches, intervals, and rhythms accurately.
- Technical Proficiency (Level 10): Peak of fundamental techniques, including finger placement, bowing, and intonation.
- Sight-Reading (Level 10): Perfect ability to read and perform music at first sight.
Etc....]
Seeing many skills she hadn't seen before, she realized these must be from Lindy's memory. If she had felt that the future was bright before, now the present seemed to be shining brightly.
Eager to discuss her newfound skills, she didn't forget her intention of chatting with Lindy.
[Lucky Movie Star: Hello, Lindy, are you here?]
Lucky Movie Star? Well, this is the nickname given by her, although it had the meaning of mocking her at the beginning, but over time, it became her trademark. She couldn't help but chuckle softly, reminiscing about the journey that had led to this point.
[Empress of Violin: Hi, Raven. How's it going? I just finished completely digesting your memory. It's so wholesome.]
[Lucky Movie Star: You think so? I feel like I benefited the most from you. I don't have any professional skills at Level 10, unlike you.]
[Empress of Violin: Don't sell yourself short. You started acting at 15, and now at 23, you've got Level 9, 8, and several Level 7 skills. By the time you're 27, you'll definitely have at least three perfect-level skills.]
If it had been before, Raven would have been very excited by being praised by a world-class artist. But after receiving the memory and then analyzing it with her high IQ, she had already identified many of her problems, like being a little complacent after working hard.
[Lucky Movie Star: Thanks for the encouragement. Let's chat later. It's time for breakfast, and from my memory, you should know the rules of the rehab.]
Raven may have told Lindy not to talk about her situation, but that was before. Now she truly isn't afraid of anyone knowing about her; she doesn't care.
After saying goodbye to Lindy in the chat group, Raven was obviously in a good mood, something that everyone who saw her could see at a glance since she didn't try to hide it.
At the same time, her hands itched with the desire to try a violin. Since this was a rehab center and not a prison, she had ordered a virtual reality headset and the violin she wanted. She eagerly awaited their arrival the next day.
