"C Level is the fourth level in the Sound Master ranking system certified by Yin Meng, with three lower levels: D, E, and F..."
Yin Meng conducts Sound Master level assessments every year, which are open to both members and non-members; anyone can register as long as they pay the registration fee.
For the initial assessment, Yin Meng will take various factors into consideration for judgment and then categorize the levels accordingly; whatever level one is classified into, that is the corresponding level of Sound Master one becomes.
Afterward, if one wishes to level up, they can be reassessed the following year.
After passing the Yin Meng assessment, Yin Meng will issue a Sound Master Certificate for the corresponding level.
Sound Masters certified by Yin Meng are extremely authoritative; almost all those in Xia Country learning music attempt the assessment.
Of course, it’s not mandatory.
You don’t have to take the test, but having done so makes job hunting easier, as a Sound Master Certificate with official authority is also considered an honor.
Yin Meng’s Sound Master levels are classified from high to low as follows: Grandmaster, SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F.
Out of these, S, SS, and SSS levels are considered master levels, and the rest are scholars, while Yi Tingfeng and Yi Tingyu have both been certified by Yin Meng as SS level Sound Masters.
After listening to Xiao Ye’s explanation, Gu Zhiqi had a rough understanding of the Sound Master level divisions within Yin Meng.
"So, Miss Gu, what is your Sound Master level?" Xiao Ye asked glowingly after finishing his explanation.
"Teacher said that I was SSS level before," Gu Zhiqi mentioned casually, remembering that Teacher Wen had thrown around those letters during their chat.
While Xiao Ye was shocked, he also felt it was to be expected.
The shock came from the fact that Gu Zhiqi, as the little junior sister to Yi Tingfeng and Yi Tingyu, had a Sound Master level even higher than both of them.
It felt natural because, during the performance moments before, he could tell that Yi Tingfeng and Yi Tingyu were being led by Gu Zhiqi.
A graduate from the Music Academy, Xiao Ye, though of average playing skills, was still a professional when it came to listening.
He was quite familiar with the Yi siblings’ style and could instantly tell that while they maintained their distinct flavors, they were influenced by Gu Zhiqi.
Specifically, Gu Zhiqi, following their style, perfected it and then led the two.
"Miss Gu, you’re so talented," Xiao Ye said, his eyes sparkling with admiration.
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow but didn’t reply.
As Xiao Ye opened up the conversation further, he continued to look at Gu Zhiqi with sparkling eyes and asked, "You’re Brother Feng and Sister Yu’s little junior sister, so, are you also Mr. Wen’s student?"
"You’re so skilled, but I’ve never heard about you before. Why don’t you hold your own concerts?"
"You’re in danger," Gu Zhiqi interjected, cutting off Xiao Ye’s words.
"Huh?" Xiao Ye was puzzled.
Gu Zhiqi: "You’re in danger of unemployment."
"If you keep idling , talking so much, you really run the risk of becoming unemployed," Gu Zhiqi said lazily, lounging on the sofa while addressing Xiao Ye.
He got the message—she was hinting that he was being noisy.
"I just remembered, I have lots of things to do. I’ll be busy now," Xiao Ye said, not wanting to risk his job, showing with his actions that he was indeed not idle.
Not long after Xiao Ye left, a voice came from outside the resting room.
"Gu Xiaoxi, Gu Xiaoxi, it was you on the stage just now, right?"
The voice was heard before the person was seen.
After the voice, two people entered the rest room.
