Chapter 263: Chapter 197: Wishing You a Lifetime of Happiness Togetherl
Translator: 549690339
In the past several timelines, Avril Green’s life experiences in art history have had many subtle variations, but the outcomes were generally similar.
Since Harrison Clark began changing time, Avril’s achievements improved slightly, first making it into the top 1000 and then gradually climbing the ranks.
Harrison provided her with a lot of works, which significantly improved her singing achievements.
Her creative abilities also moderately strengthened, keeping pace with the Renaissance.
However, the gap between her and Carrie Thomas only widened.
Besides the “failure” in artistic achievements, her life was not particularly successful or happy.
In each previous timeline, Avril’s life was worse than Carrie’s, as she never married in each timeline and often became estranged from her family in her thirties.
The timing of her estrangement varied; sometimes she could hold on until she was 4.0, sometimes she’d break up right after turning 30.
Regardless, every time she severed ties with her family, her resources within and outside the circles significantly declined.
This had nothing to do with her abilities.
Later, perhaps due to the impact on her mentality, or perhaps because she genuinely ran out of talent, she produced virtually no more works after severing ties with her family.
Not to mention creativity; even her basic singing skills deteriorated as time went by.
Harrison had already helped her as much as possible, considering the benefits he provided her in each timeline, yet she was still struggling.
So, Harrison didn’t hold any expectations for Avril in art and didn’t care much about her achievements, only feeling a bit melancholic occasionally upon seeing her “failed” life.
Avril’s loss was not unjustified.
No matter how hard she tried or how much talent she possessed, growing up in such a family provided her with great convenience in the first half of her life, but it inevitably hampered her pursuit of ultimate art later in life.
If she simply desired to become an ordinary artist, a certain level of talent, diligence, and some luck would suffice.
However, if she wanted to compete with figures like Carrie Thomas and aim for the god-like creator “Master Harrison Clark,” none of the above conditions would apply, but rather, she would have to devote herself entirely, expelling herself from her body and mind and becoming a pure pursuer.
Avril couldn’t become so pure because she couldn’t turn back time to 20 years ago and be born in another family.
Harrison was well aware of Avril’s current situation and the life she would face, so he felt a sigh of relief when he heard her words.
“I don’t think you’re being pretentious. I understand your thoughts very well. There are countless people in the world, and each person has the right to choose what kind of person they want to be,” Harrison stood up, “Anyway, thank you for helping me so much.”
Avril wiped her eyes and adjusted her mood, “We’re good friends; there’s no need to be formal.”
Harrison waved his hand, “No, no, no. Let’s settle this matter separately. In any case, I will try my best to become stronger in the future and not cause you any trouble. As for this time… well, I really can’t repay you. I’ll give you my favorite song, which I, uh… worked very hard to create!”
Harrison wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling relieved.
“Really?”
Avril knew Harrison’s capabilities; since he said it was his favorite, the song must be extraordinary.
She immediately became interested.
Harrison nodded, “Yes, this is a highly forward-thinking and influential classic rock song that laid the foundation for Across the Starry Sky… Wait, never mind, just think of it as a powerful rock song.”
He almost let the cat out of the bag.
In the next thousand years of art history, if there were any works comparable to Carrie Thomas’s Divine Sword Melodies, then Across the Starry Sky would undoubtedly be one of them.
This song was born in the early 2200s, and its pioneering starry-sky rock style influenced the ideas of countless rock authors for the next two to three hundred years. It was regarded as the greatest rock song of the 2200s, and it caught Harrison’s attention for that reason.
A new instrument would be used in the song.
However, the instrument cannot be produced at present.
That’s because the high-polymer organic biomaterial used for its strings has not yet been successfully researched and developed.
Substituting it with an ordinary guitar would achieve less than perfect performance results.
However, Harrison dared to bring it up now because he was about to develop the material in two years, along with the new instrument that would solve all his problems.
At that time, re-launching the song with the new instrument and promoting the new high-strength, high-elasticity, and ultra-high toughness materials would be a win-win situation.
“Okay, sell it to me for six million, and follow the contract details according to your company’s rules,” Avril made an offer after listening to Harrison’s self-promotion.
Harrison shook his head in refusal, “The favor you did for me this time is worth more than that, so don’t bring up the money.”
“That’s not acceptable.” She insisted on paying.
“Alright, just have a listen first.”
Harrison didn’t want to argue, so he went straight to Homey Rose’s piano room and found the master-level guitar he’d played a few times, played a set of accompaniment, and impressed her.
However, Harrison didn’t dare sing.
Later, Harrison instructed her to turn on the computer next to the sound studio, “Take another look at the sheet music, and temporarily treat the Xismea instrument as a guitar.”
“Temporarily?” Avril browsed the sheet music and asked with curiosity.
“Yes, it’s a new instrument that I invented, but there isn’t a completed product yet. You’ll know in two years,” Harrison replied..
