26 Chapter 25: The Saber-Tooth of Time

Translator: 549690339

In the following eight months, Harrison Clark went into crazy song-learning mode again.

Compared to the last time, this time was much easier.

Whether it was playing technique or basic music theory, he was already very proficient now, which made learning songs much easier, at least not like before when he had to spend a lot of time and energy to understand a song’s sheet music.

Now, he could basically take the sheet music and restore it step by step with a guitar.

But he still couldn’t do it like some experts who could just see the sheet music and sketch the whole picture in their minds.

That was talent, which couldn’t be learned or envied.

Although he was slower, he had plenty of time.

As the saying goes, slow and steady wins the race, he just started early.

Over the next eight months, Harrison did five things.

First, he mastered a new instrument, the piano, known as the king of all instruments and the source of rhythm, through diligent practice on top of guitar.

Second, he further strengthened his guitar skills to make his performance more proficient and smooth, now he was almost equivalent to a mediocre person who had practiced diligently for ten years.

But ten years didn’t mean he was strong, he was still an average craftsman.

Anyone can learn to play, but to reach a certain height in playing, that again enters the realm of talented players.

Talent was such that even with a lifetime of hard practice, one could barely maintain their level without falling behind.

Did ordinary people want to master their skills in a few decades?

Wake up; it’s all dreams.

If you can do it, it’s simple: you’re not an ordinary person, and your talent just came later.

Third, he completed the plan he had scheduled before, to plagiarize four of Carrie Thomas’s songs, including the new song “A Dull Life” and three others.

Fourth, he seriously studied and then plagiarized three songs of a male singer named Logan Lee.

Fifth, he spent two hours a day on physical fitness, including one hour of physical strength training and one hour of free combat training.

As for choosing a male singer, he had a clear criterion for choosing Logan Lee.

Logan became famous in 2028, a few years later than Carrie Thomas.

But he was a late bloomer, becoming famous at 39 years old; he was already 30 years old now, a whole nine years older than Carrie Thomas..

Harrison chose to plagiarize him because he was famous and strong enough.

Although Logan was not as successful as Carrie, many art historians evaluated him as one of the top 1,000 from a millennium ago.

This kind of evaluation and treatment was not much different from Avril Green.

The second reason was that Harrison saw Logan as somewhat disrespectful to his elders.

He was so much older than Carrie Thomas but dared to pursue her!

Although his pursuit had been fruitless for many years, it still annoyed Harrison.

You should have some self-awareness!

Don’t even look at the birth date on your ID card; did Lillian Lee give you the courage to pursue her?

Therefore, people like this must be taught what is moral and what is self-awareness.

It was just that Carrie Thomas was not interested in him, so much so that he was not even mentioned in her biography.

There were too many biographies to read, and Harrison missed it before, not knowing there was such an enchanting scoundrel.

Harrison made a mistake this time, too.

He had finished learning Carrie Thomas’s four songs before shopping in bulk.

His shopping scope was still concentrated around his own time, so naturally, he couldn’t avoid Logan Lee.

Logan’s songs were mainly lyrical folk songs, with poetic lyrics, infectious melodies, and a magnetic male voice that was both penetrating and touching.

Harrison listened to them and felt quite good, resonating with them, so he took a closer look and studied this person’s life, only to find problems.

At that time, Harrison decided to plagiarize him to death, but unfortunately, there was only one month left and he could only complete three in the end.

But Harrison was not in a hurry; he would continue next time he came in.

Don’t say he went too far; even familiar people were not spared, so why have psychological barriers?

One day, Harrison lay quietly on a beach chair by the beach.

Under the blue and white sun umbrella, his right hand held a glass of pure natural fruit juice, with the straw in his mouth, leisurely drinking.

In his earphones, Avril Green’s “A Dull Life” was playing.

There were many things that one could only cherish when they were about to be lost.

People always care about the imagined beauty of what they have never had.

This version of “A Dull Life” might be gone after this.

It was now October 27, 3020 AD, approaching 10 a.m.

This time, he didn’t lock himself in the basement.

After all, he couldn’t escape anywhere, so instead of struggling and waiting for death in despair, he might as well choose a comfortable place, strike a good pose, and welcome his new life with a gracious and generous smile.

So he spent all his accumulated welfare points on a trip to Hawaii for himself.

At this moment, the sea breeze was blowing with a sweet and salty taste.

Seagulls were flying in the sky, chasing waves, and sometimes peppering sea fish from the surface of the water.

In the sky, several white clouds took on different forms as they floated quietly.

A not-so-dazzling sun hung high in the sky, and warm and gentle sunlight poured down, sprinkling on Harrison Clark’s body.

This time, he didn’t even bother to watch TV or listen to the radio.

As expected, everything came as planned.

Harrison’s fingers holding the tall glass tightened abruptly.

Death.

Opened eyes.

He jumped out of bed, changed his clothes, and headed upstairs.

Carrie Thomas should still be asleep at this time.

Harrison planned to tell her of a major decision he had made.

“Boring” cannot be sold to Spotify Top; it will cause trouble.

This was another major gain he got from the “new version” of Carrie Thomas’s biography, through careful and detailed reading in his thousand-year dream.

There was a new situation at Spotify Top.

This situation did not exist before, but this time it arrived, brought about by the butterfly effect he created by changing the timeline.

Time worms always show their fangs quietly, pulling those who deviate from the path back into the correct one.

When Harrison first saw this news in his dream, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Although in the grand scheme of Carrie Thomas’s life, the pit Spotify Top dug for her was just a funny little episode.

But considering his situation, it would take his fifty thousand investment several years to recover.

Could he tolerate this?

In the morning, Carrie Thomas was about to take her team to sign the contract; now was the time to steer her back to the right track!
