Hearing the owners,words Jaing Ning knew that his plan had worked although he was excited,he was also a bit nervous after all it would be his first performance.
I know your excited but before we listen to his performance. Dear readers, I know I may have caused some confusion.You may be asking,What music he is going to play?
Well to answer that question we will have to go back in time to while he was waiting for the waitress to return.
__________________________________________
Jaing Ning waited until the waitress was out of brush and pulled out the ink, brush and paper that he had bought earlier on his way overto then restuarant for 1 low-grade spirit.Now it was time to channel his inner mozart.
"System activate Beginner Flute skills I wish to compose a basic song"
*
Ding Beginner Flute skills activated.
*
Jaing Ning had already thought of what kind of music he would compose today.He decided to produce a gentle song with a smooth melody, he choose this in order to maximise the effect of his tier 1 low-grade Dharma artifact Woodslave Flute which created a soothing effect and helped relieve stress.
He looked at the paper in front of him and realized that he could understand and write sheet music perfectly, he truly felt that he was a master composer who had years of experience.His hands floved smoothly across the paper only stopping every minute or so to check the previous lines were perfect.
As a result within a mere 20 minutes a fully perfected song was in front of him.He looked at with a smug smile feeling proud of his first creation, it was like a father looking at his daughter.Then he hears a familiar sound in his head once again.

Ding, congratulations host.
The system has detected that you have completed your first composition on your journey through the Musical Dao.

As a reward for completing your first ever composition the system has generously decided to boost your pathetic composition by 20 points.

Jaing Ning looked in front of him only to be stunned.The paper with the music written on it had been enveloped by a slight silver light.The music written on that paper was constantly changing, it was maginificent to behold.The notes danced and moved gracefully on the slightly yellow paper.It was safe to say he was swept away by thus sight and emerged in this scene however it abruptly came to a stop.
Jaing Ning was in a daze, it took him about 10 seconds to wake up yet he still couldn't get the image out of his mind.When he woke up, the composition in front of him that was completely different from his first creation.
*
Host do you wish to activate rate function
*
"Yes"
*
Activating rating function.
Alhough the melody is crude, it can be said to be average.Overall the song portrays a gentle atmosphere with a hint of spring hidden within its depths.
Rating:[45/100] [Grade:Average]
*
Jaing Ning looked at the Rating and realized that with the system adding 20 points, it was average.Without the system his adding the 20 points it would have been graded as poor quality.
Before Jaing Ning could lament in his terrible skills he saw the waitress hurrying towards him and could only hope that this average composition would be enough to impress the owner of the Moonlight Restuarant.

Jaing Ning reached for the Flute on his belt.He then placed his lips on the Flute and blew gently.
A soft quiet somber tune enveloped the three audiences delicate ears.
The tune was gentle yet sad, it portrayed the scene of children leaving there home for the first time.
Jaing Ning began to move his hands faster and the tempo suddenly changed from the slow to fast.
The music burst forth and filled the room with an upbeat elegant melody, it perfectly blended with the birds chirping and the howling winds to create a warm atmosphere.
The owner and the two girls were currently lost in the music and didn't dare speak, they focused all there attention on the young man, they felt there stress melt away.
It had to be known that before the performance started he used the last low-grade spirit stone in his possession and channeled into it the Flute in order to activate it's effects.Jaing Ning bet a lot on this performance, if he failed, he would have to go hungry for a couple of days.
The melody that filled the room came to a stop as Jaing Ning removed the Flute from his lips.He took a deep breath and turned his head towards his audience.
For 1 minute straight a eerie silence permeated through put the third floor.
Miss Ling was the first to wake up, she looked at the young man with dreamy eyes.
"You said your name was Jaing Ning right? May I have the honour of knowing the name of such a beautiful song"
Jaing Ning thought for a while and decided that it would be a waste not give his first song he preformed a name right?
"Miss, I named this song Playful Summer Breeze"
The owner who had been quiet all this time couldn't help but erupt with joy.After all if Jaing Ning were to play for the guests between his otherworldly appearance and beautiful music he would definitely attract customers,it would certainly not be a dream for the Moonlight resturant to firmly dominate the industry and beat there long-term competitor Blue Drop Pavilion.
"Playful Summer Breeze, good name, good name, young friend you are truly talented I can see why you were so confident,as promised I will honour the deal you will earn 5% of the income throughout the course of the days you play on , my only condition is you preform once every hour"
Jaing Ning was puzzled due to the significant change in the owners however he didn't question it.
"That's fine, I will see you tomorrow at noon"
"Hahahaha, young friend I won't see you out as Mrs Ling and Mrs Nangyu here have been waiting for there food for a while now"
Jaing Ning turned to leave but was stopped by a slight tug on his waist.When he turned around he saw Young Miss Ningyu with a slightly red face whisper into his ear.
"Myy name is .. is Ningyu Lan, thank you for such a wonderful performance"
He just gave her a gentle smile, then he walked to down three floors towards the exit.When he left Moonlight Restuarant he let out a big sigh.
Jaing Ning felt as he got a massive weight of his back.He knew that within these three days, if nothing went wrong he would be able to gather the two thousand low-grade spirit stones needed in order to complete the main mission and have a lot more left over.
He walked down the tiled street in the direction of his small courtyard with a smile on his face and hope in his eyes as he thought about the reward he would receive after completing the mission.
