Chapter 561 Lucio Premiere

Lucio Correa dos Santos grew up in Rio de Janeiro. The war of the Omnic Crisis also spread here. But under the joint resistance of the righteous forces led by Overwatch, the Omnics retreated, and the crisis finally ushered in the dawn of the end.

But the end does not mean that the city will get better. At most, it will no longer be persecuted by the war. The various problems left over from the Omnic Crisis turned Rio de Janeiro into a desolate scorched earth. Coupled with the economic slump, it has become a poor and crowded slum.

What is a slum? Everyone is crowded in the few places where they can live. They have no food to eat, and every bite of food must be divided into several portions. Because many people have families, only those who are alone can live a little easier. The rest of the people are on the verge of starvation or watching their loved ones starve to death.

Lucio was fed up with the suffering brought by poverty. The only thing that kept him alive was the worn-out Walkman he found in the garbage dump. No matter how sad the reality is, as long as you put on your headphones, the whole world is yours. At least during this time, he can forget his worries, forget his hunger, and forget how to bear the weight of tomorrow.

Fortunately, the Brazilian government did not give up on them. Before the revitalization plan was introduced, the government first considered Rio de Janeiro, which had lost hope and vitality due to poverty, and introduced a series of policies aimed at the construction of Rio de Janeiro.

Thanks to this, Rio de Janeiro has become a bit like a city. The slums were expanded, and everyone did not have to squeeze together. The government also provided some simple, repetitive and mechanical work so that people could exchange money for their own labor. To be honest, the money was very little, and the pay and return were not proportional, but everyone did not think so, but scrambled to grab those hard work.

The slums are no longer full of complaints, but have a thriving atmosphere. In the past, starvation was common, but now no one dies of hunger. As long as you are willing to work, I dare not guarantee that you will be rich, but it is enough to make your family worry about food and drink.

Lucio also earned some money with his own hands and strength. He didn't need to share this money with anyone. He was alone from beginning to end, and he invested in himself. His former dream could now be realized with money. He purchased a lot of music equipment, and with hard work, his DJ skills became more and more sophisticated.

"Oh! Lucio, the music you play is so beautiful. At this moment, I feel that all my troubles have left me."

"If you don't mind, you can actually sing along with the music. Uh... I was wrong. You'd better not sing. The original song is very nice."

"For some reason, I feel very motivated while listening to music. As long as I follow the rhythm of the music, I won't be so tired after a day of hard work. The main thing is that I feel that time passes quickly."

At first, Lucio was immersed in the ocean of music alone, unwilling to face the still cruel reality. It was not until his neighbors kept telling him about the magic of music that he realized that it was not only him who would forget his troubles because of music, but music could also bring the magical power of forgetting troubles to others.

He could clearly feel the difference. Those who always had a long face and no smile on their faces would nod and stamp their feet to the beat after hearing the music, and their facial expressions would not be so annoying.

"Maybe, I can use the power of music to bring a little cheerful atmosphere to this depressed city?"

Although everyone's life is not as hard as before, it is still not happy. It seems not bad if he can bring a little laughter to this city?

Let this silent city dance with the music!

Lucio is the kind of person who does whatever he wants. As long as there are no serious consequences, he can abandon everything and embark on the path he pursues.

After two days of secret preparation, on the third day, Lucio began to perform on the street. The music equipment was placed against the wall, and the speakers emitted powerful music. He twisted his body to the music. Although he had never learned professional dance, as long as he felt the music, he could make some very ornamental movements to the rhythm.

The pedestrians who hurried by were very surprised, thinking that this guy had a bag in his head. If he didn't go to make money, who would he perform for? In this day and age, no one will give you money just because you perform well.

The world is bustling, all for profit.

The pedestrians have their own things to do, and they are busy running around to survive. No one stops, and some people don't even bother to turn their heads.

Lucio was not discouraged because no one stopped to watch. Instead, he enjoyed it. As long as there was music, he was happy, no matter when and where.

After performing like this for a week, finally, a group of people gathered around Lucio's performance venue. They either smiled and nodded, or clasped their hands to the beat, or shook their heads... In short, at this time, they can put aside the troubles of reality, empty their minds to enjoy, and enjoy the beauty of this moment.

This is the power of music.

Of course, many people can only enjoy it for more than ten or twenty minutes, because without music, they are the husband of a woman, the father of a child, and the son of an old man. There are too many things that they need to shoulder and bear, but the moment of being intoxicated with music can bring them hope in life and let them know that this life is still beautiful.

Many people, who originally had no motivation to go to get off work except for the meager salary, now have something to look forward to when they go out and come home every day because of the long-term music performances on the roadside.

Some young people who can feed their whole family want to perform with Lucio, who is happy to accept them, but not everyone will. To perform with him, you must at least have some talent, singing, dancing, DJing... you must be able to do one of these things.

So, this folk performance team, from Lucio alone, became two people, then five people, and now nine people.

The nine people divided the work to meet all the needs of a performance team, and no more people were recruited.

They performed on the streets and community parties day after day, and as they grew older, they began a series of legendary underground performances.

Everything was moving in a good direction, and they brought the power of forgetting troubles to the poor people through music. The revitalization plan was also underway, and Rio de Janeiro was getting better and better. Even though the city was still dominated by slums, the poor were quite satisfied because of music, Lucio, and the various performances.

But when the multinational group Viskar Group planned to rebuild most of the city, Lucio's community fell into chaos.
