I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 738 - 505 Astonished and Pale_2

"It's not over yet? This is already incredible! Could there be something even more amazing?"

"Holy hell, no way, there's more? That's great, I couldn't get enough of it!"

"God Xia is so cool! Hurry, I want to keep watching!"

Peng Changye's lips trembled. "There's... there's more?"

Xia Liang said with a smile, "Of course. A magic act needs a proper beginning and end. This mother coin has birthed so many children; I can't just take all of them away, can I?"

Peng Changye licked his chapped lips and said with difficulty, "Then... please, continue."

He was now using the word "please," which was tantamount to admitting Xia Liang's superiority. However, the thought of finding a flaw surfaced in his mind once again. As long as Xia Liang's magic wasn't finished, there would always be a link in the chain that might have a vulnerability. If he could just seize that opportunity and find that flaw, he might be able to salvage the situation. Even if he still lost, it wouldn't be quite so humiliating.

As if he could see right through him, Xia Liang remained completely unbothered. "Actually, this mother coin isn't supposed to be this small. She's over a decade old but suffers from a kind of dwarfism, which is why she looks this size. Now, I'm going to cure her illness and restore her to her normal size. I'll make up for all the height and growth she's missed over the years and turn her into a healthy mother coin."

After he finished speaking, Xia Liang looked down at the large coin in his hand and asked with a smile, "I'm going to cure you now. Are you willing? If you are, nod your head. If not, shake it."

Seeing this, Peng Changye and the others wore expressions of utter disbelief. Xia Liang's words couldn't have been clearer, but if he meant them literally, could he really make a coin nod or shake its head? That was simply too bizarre! No one believed Xia Liang could do it.

However, the moment Xia Liang finished speaking, the coin actually bent in the middle and nodded three times. Although everyone was already watching with their eyes wide open, they were still deeply startled. The sight was just too shocking!

"Alright, you all saw it. She agreed," Xia Liang said. He then placed the coin on the ground, flattened his right hand to cover it completely, mumbled a few nonsensical words, and then lifted his hand away. "Okay, everyone step back a bit. Don't interfere with the coin's growth."

Xia Liang took a few steps back, and hearing this, the others followed suit. Once the crowd had given the coin about five meters of space, Xia Liang spoke again. "Alright, this distance is fine. Now, it is time to witness a miracle."

Just as his voice fell, the coin, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, began to grow bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't stop until it was half as tall as a person.

At that moment, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone was stunned speechless by the scene. It was too incredible! Too magical! Too shocking! It felt like a dream!

"This has to be an optical illusion, right? Let me touch it and see."

Among the crowd, Peng Changye was by far the most astounded. As a publicly recognized top-tier magician, he couldn't find a single flaw in Xia Liang's Coin Magic. Watching Xia Liang produce a half-man-tall coin right under his nose, he knew it had to be a trick and that there must be a flaw, but for the life of him, he couldn't find it. He wanted to step forward to touch it, to check if the giant coin was an inflatable object, like a balloon.

"Of course," Xia Liang said with a faint smile, offering a warning. "Anyone can go up and touch it to inspect it. But be careful. This coin is alive and has a temper. If you annoy it and it retaliates, I can't help you."

At his word, Peng Changye and the others crowded around, reaching out to touch the coin. It was hard and cold to the touch—truly made of steel!

This was what shocked them to their core. They hadn't seen how Xia Liang had produced this coin. Could it really be magic? Did Xia Liang truly conjure it from thin air?

"Impossible... this is impossible! It's actually real!" Peng Changye muttered to himself, his mind reeling. "The feel, the hardness... it's exactly like a real coin! How can such an amazing magic trick exist!" In that single moment, the decade of magical knowledge he had painstakingly acquired was utterly shattered by Xia Liang's performance.

The others were also deeply shaken, unable to believe what they were seeing. It was simply too fantastic!

"My God, it's a real coin! Am I witnessing a miracle?"

"Damn it! There's always someone out there passing off real magic as a simple trick! This is impeccable! There's not a single flaw to be found!"

"This is the first time I've ever been this amazed by magic. It's incredible!"

Once everyone's emotions had somewhat settled, Xia Liang gestured for them to step away from the coin before walking forward himself. "Actually, a coin's lifespan is quite short. Take this one, for instance. Though she looks so large and tall, her life is already coming to an end. And her children cannot remain outside forever. So next, I will have these children return to their mother's embrace."

After saying this, Xia Liang took a few steps forward and flicked his fingernail lightly against the bottom of the coin. A slit immediately appeared, once again stunning the onlookers.

Next, they saw Xia Liang squat down, place all the small coins on the ground, and say to them, "Alright, you can go back to your mother's embrace now."

The instant his words fell, the crowd watched as the forty-odd coins shot upright with a swish, scrambling over each other toward the opening Xia Liang had made on the large coin.

"Don't crowd," Xia Liang said in a gentle voice. "Form a line and return one by one." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

As if they understood his words, the small coins actually formed a neat line, filing one by one in an orderly fashion into the slit on the large coin.

A short while later, after all the coins were inside, Xia Liang stepped forward and swiped his hand over the opening, and it vanished without a trace. Then, under everyone's gaze, the coin began to slowly shrink, eventually returning to its normal size.

After he was finished, Xia Liang stepped forward, picked up the coin, and gave a standard magician's bow to the surrounding crowd.

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted once more. Countless people were captivated by Xia Liang's Coin Magic, clapping with genuine admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

"That was astounding! Now that's real magic! Truly an eye-opener!"

"So awesome! I'm glad I came today. I think I'll remember this one trick for the rest of my life."

"He's so cool! The young man's magic is incredible, and he's so humble and kind. Absolutely amazing!"

"This Coin Magic, compared to the banana-and-gun trick from yesterday, they're both brilliant! Flawless!"

Xia Liang's performance completely overshadowed Peng Changye. At this point, no one even bothered to mention Peng Changye's magic, which in comparison now seemed riddled with holes—like child's play. What Xia Liang had performed was true magic, a performance that stirred the soul.

Even the female host applauded him with sincere admiration. As his assistant, she had felt the profound shock of his magic more keenly than anyone.

Xia Liang's expression remained placid, his heart calm. He was long accustomed to scenes like this. In his past life, he had captivated audiences of tens of thousands; this small crowd was nothing in comparison.

His gaze then fell upon Peng Changye. Though he said nothing, his look alone conveyed his meaning to everyone.

"Apologize!" someone in the crowd shouted, starting the chant.
