Chapter 115 Street Magic
Chapter 115 Street Magic
"Got another two Supernatural Points." Lin Tian muttered to himself as he saw the Supernatural Points floating in the air.
"What superpower should I exchange for next?"
With the new Supernatural Points, Lin Tian began planning what his next superpower should be.
Considering his current situation, Lin Tian thought deeply, "Right now, my close-range attack power is quite impressive; I'm not even that afraid of handguns at close distance. But at longer ranges, it falls short. It seems necessary to enhance my long-distance self-defense abilities."
Thinking deeply, Lin Tian concentrated and instantly summoned the superpower menu.
His gaze swept across the twenty superpowers on the menu, and immediately, Lin Tian's eyes settled on one: "Level 1 Finger Zen: allows you to emit a shockwave from your finger, similar in attack power to a regular handgun."
Seeing this superpower, Lin Tian's eyes slightly lit up, "This is the one!"
Lin Tian decided that once he accumulated more Supernatural Points, he would exchange them for Finger Zen. With Finger Zen, Lin Tian's self-defense capability would greatly increase. Even facing a handgun wouldn't be much of a concern.
"This is it!" Lin Tian thought to himself.
"Hey, big bro, did you hear what I was saying?" Just as Lin Tian was deep in thought, suddenly a dissatisfied voice from Lin Fang came by his ear.
"Huh?" Lin Tian opened his eyes, glanced at her, and asked puzzledly, "What did you say?"
"I'm so mad at you!" Seeing Lin Tian's clueless expression, Lin Fang huffily turned her head away and stopped talking to him.
Seeing this scene, Bu Mengting, standing nearby, smiled slightly.
**
Since the day of the basketball game, Lin Tian had spent the next two days hardly going out, mostly staying at home reading novels.
Because he had found a novel that particularly suited his taste.
At four in the afternoon, in the living room, Lin Tian was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in the novel on his phone, with a slight smile at the exciting parts.
"Tap tap..." Just then, a knocking sound came from the door.
Lin Tian looked up briefly, then slipped into his slippers and walked towards the front door.
While walking, he still kept his head down, reading the novel.
There was no helping it, the novel was too thrilling.
Upon opening the door, only then did Lin Tian shift his gaze from his phone.
"Hey, still reading?" As soon as the door opened, Bu Mengting saw the phone in Lin Tian's hand.
"Uh..." Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say. He then awkwardly put down his phone.
Giving Lin Tian a look, Bu Mengting said irritably, "Okay, you definitely forgot about going shopping, go change your clothes."
Only then did Lin Tian remember, seeming to recall that he had agreed to go shopping with Bu Mengting the day before.
Who knew he would become so engrossed in the novel that he forgot.
"What are you spacing out for, go change!" Bu Mengting glared at him, irritated.
"Okay, okay, I'm going right now, really quick." Saying that, Lin Tian, wearing slippers, hurried towards his room. Currently, he was only wearing big shorts, which definitely wouldn't do for going out.
A few minutes later, Lin Tian changed into a white T-shirt, and while tidying up his clothes, said, "Let's go."
Half an hour later, the two appeared on Wu'an City's pedestrian street.
As for shopping...
Initially, Lin Tian was quite enthusiastic about it.
But now...
Fortunately, he could still use his phone to read the novel and pass some of the boring time. Otherwise, Lin Tian wouldn't know how he'd endure those few hours.
An hour later, Bu Mengting came out of a jewelry shop, her eyes suddenly lit up, and turning to Lin Tian, she said excitedly, "There's a big crowd over there, let's go have a look!"
"Huh?" Lin Tian was startled, shifting his gaze from his phone, and looked up. Indeed, he saw many people gathered about twenty meters ahead. Your next chapter awaits on empire
"Come on, let's go check it out!" Realizing there was something exciting to see, Bu Mengting grabbed Lin Tian's hand and quickly ran forward.
Bu Mengting really loved lively scenes.
Helplessly, Lin Tian just followed Bu Mengting and ran along.
Upon reaching and squeezing into the crowd, they saw that someone was performing magic.
A young girl was doing a street magic show.
Seeing this girl, Lin Tian's eyes lit up slightly, surprised she was actually a beauty.
The girl looked to be in her twenties, had fair skin, and possessed smooth, long hair.
At that moment, the girl was performing a magic trick.
Yan Yan pinched a one-yuan coin between her fingers, slowly gesturing to the crowd of onlookers, "Pay attention, everyone, this is a coin, a one-yuan coin."
"I have nothing else in my hands!" said Yan Yan as she opened her fair palms and, to increase her credibility, even rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms.
"There is nothing on my hands except this coin!" Yan Yan said with a slight smile, as she flipped her palm and the back of her hand to let everyone see clearly again.
After everyone had a clear view, Yan Yan placed the coin in her right hand into the palm of her left, then looked up and told the crowd, "Watch closely, there is only one coin here."
As she spoke, Yan Yan's left palm slowly clenched. After clenching, Yan Yan raised her clenched left hand high and loudly told the crowd, "You all saw it, I am holding a coin in this hand."
"But is it really so?" Yan Yan asked with a slight smile, lowering the hand she had raised and slowly opening it.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes widened as they gazed at Yan Yan's left hand.
Empty!
It was completely empty! Apart from Yan Yan's fair hand, the crowd saw nothing else.
The coin had disappeared.
"Clap, clap…" Instantly, a round of applause erupted from the scene.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Bu Mengting exclaimed with amazement upon seeing this scene.
After thinking for a while, Bu Mengting turned to Lin Tian, "Do you know how that happened?"
Having thought for a while, Lin Tian shook his head, "I don't know."
He really didn't know. Since the girl had first clenched the coin in her palm, Lin Tian's gaze hadn't left her hand. But he still could not see how the coin had disappeared.
Lin Tian, who had a photographic memory, couldn't spot the trick, indicating that the girl indeed had some skills.
Feeling the crowd's enthusiasm, Yan Yan smiled slightly, looked up at the crowd, and cheerfully said, "Actually, that wasn't the main part. The real miracle is still to come!" As she spoke, Yan Yan's left hand slowly clenched again.
Seeing this scene, everyone quietened down, their gazes fixed tightly on Yan Yan's left hand.
As she clenched her left hand, this time Yan Yan didn't make everyone wait too long. After holding for a second or two, Yan Yan slowly opened her fair little hand again.
"Wow! How is that possible?"
At the moment Yan Yan's hand opened, a wave of gasps filled the air.
A coin!
Yan Yan's fair little hand now held two coins!
How had this occurred?
Nobody knew.
"That's magical!" Bu Mengting watched excitedly, her eyes gleaming with admiration.
Lin Tian was also somewhat dumbstruck. Impressive!
With a slight smile and feeling the crowd's enthusiasm, Yan Yan reached behind with one hand and grabbed something.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Yan Yan's hand held a black hat.
With the hat in hand, Yan Yan sweetly smiled, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have money, support with money; if you don't, support with your presence. I kindly ask for gratuities!"
Taken aback, the onlookers soon started laughing.
Most people took out their wallets and gave a bit of money.
Some gave fifty or a hundred, while others gave just a couple of yuan.
The girl was skilled, and she was also good-looking and sweet. Everyone was willing to show some generosity.
Even Lin Tian took out a hundred and passed it over.
Watching the hat fill up with more and more money, Yan Yan's smile grew sweeter, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks.
"Girl, your skills are not bad at all!" Suddenly, a playful voice came through.
Upon hearing this voice, Yan Yan immediately let out a scream.
