Cultivator Master Reborn To High School

C183 Street Magician



C183 Street Magician

More and more people were on the train.    

    

Zhang Haorann was wearing a jazz hat with its brim pressed down. He looked out the window and saw a crowd of people moving around. Most of them were students.    

    

Pei Xiaoyuan sized up the students, "Master, the high school graduates of Xiangzhou City are already this amazing. Look at them, they have arms around each other's shoulders and are much earlier than the students of our city."    

    

Zhang Haorann rolled his eyes, "How about I recommend you to go to Wolong High School and give it a try for three years?"    

    

Pei Xiaoyuan shook his head as fast as a rattle drum.    

    

Zhang Haorann said: "The Donghai Province's education resources are among the top in the entire country. Other than Donghai University, there are also a few other institutions that are extremely outstanding and have quite a low level in the country. So many students of Xihu Province would choose to go to the Donghai Province to study."    

    

"Master knows a lot." Pei Xiaoyuan agreed.    

    

Fortunately, Zhang Haorann was already immune to Pei Xiaoyuan's flattery, as if he didn't hear anything.    

    

A loud noise came from the carriages.    

    

Many people shifted their gaze to the entrance of the train carriage, where stood a young man in a tuxedo. He was fashionable and wore a black domed hat. His clean and tidy smile gave others a feeling of being bathed in spring wind.    

    

Unlike Zhang Haorann, this young man's hat was for the sake of putting on an act. Zhang Haorann was just trying to hide his identity.    

    

"I seem to have seen this person somewhere before." Pei Xiaoyuan said in a low voice.    

    

Someone shouted.    

    

"Street magician, Cao Xi!"    

    

Pei Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed as he suddenly realized:    

    

"Master, I know who he is."    

    

"His name is Cao Xi, currently a rising street magician in the country. Although he is just a newcomer, he has an incredible magic skill. Video of him displaying magic on the streets was captured and uploaded online. There are a lot of clicks."    

    

Not only Pei Xiaoyuan, even Xu Qing had some understanding of Cao Xi.    

    

Xu Qing had an impression of Cao Xi. There were a few episodes of Cao Xi's show on TV, and Xu Qing remembered that Cao Xi performed Yin Bi magic.    

    

As long as the magic show hadn't gone awry, street magicians could easily accumulate fame and fame.    

    

Cao Xi had performed street magic for over a hundred times. The contents of the show included close-range magic, card magic, silver coin magic and other street magic, which had accumulated a good reputation.    

    

Cao Xi was looking for a seat in the train. Some of the girls' eyes sparkled like stars as they longed for Cao Xi to sit beside them. There were also some boys who simply called Cao Xi "brother" and invited him to take a seat, but were all rejected by Cao Xi.    

    

Cao Xi was indeed popular. The men were envious of him and the women wanted to have a bite of him. No matter where he went, he was always a hot potato. Cao Xi found his seat, looked at the three people in front of him and politely smiled before sitting down.    

    

Cao Xi sat beside Pei Xiaoyuan. Opposite him were Zhang Haorann and Xu Qing.    

    

Xu Qing, who was accompanied by Zhang Haorann, ignored everyone else. She only glanced at Cao Xi and didn't pay any more attention to him.    

    

If Pei Xiaoyuan had never seen Zhang Haorann before, he would certainly be like those guys, eager to get to know Cao Xi. However, with Zhang Haorann as his teacher, Pei Xiaoyuan had no interest in Cao Xi.    

    

No matter how amazing Cao Xi was, he was just a magician.    

    

The others in the carriage looked at Zhang Haorann and the rest with envious gazes. It was a pity that Cao Xi did not sit beside them.    

    

The train moved towards the Donglin City.    

    

Chattering sounds came from around Cao Xi.    

    

Someone gathered up their courage and walked in front of Cao Xi.    

    

They were two girls and a boy. The boy looked helpless. He felt helpless when he was forcefully dragged over, while the other two girls were eager to give it a try.    

    

One of the girls who arrived first said:    

    

"Hello, Cao Xi. I'm a freshman from the Donghai University University. My name is Zhou Qi. It's a pleasure to meet you."    

    

"Hello, me too." Cao Xi revealed a smile, which seemed to melt the girl's heart. The girl stared at him in a daze.    

    

Zhou Qi's performance made the boy beside her very unhappy. 'Are you kidding me? You're my girlfriend, and you're acting like this in front of me.'    

    

The boy was still quite graceful. He opened his mouth and said:    

    

"Cao Xi, I am also a freshman of Donghai University. My name is Xia Bo."    

    

After Xia Bo said that, he turned to Zhou Qi and whispered, "Qi Qi, you've met Cao Xi and talked to him. Can we go back to our seats now?"    

    

Zhou Qi turned her head and looked at Cao Xi. She ignored Xia Bo's words, making Xia Bo lose a lot of face.    

    

The other girl among the three asked curiously: "Cao Xi, can you perform some magic for us? I like your street magic very much."    

    

"Jiao Jiao, this is a train, not a street. It's better not to make things difficult for Cao Xi." Xia Bo was about to persuade the girl called Jiao Jiao to return to her seat.    

    

Jiao Jiao was Zhou Qi's best friend and a freshman at the Academy of Arts.    

    

Zhou Qi said, "Xia Bo, I think Jiao Jiao's suggestion is not bad. If Cao Xi can perform magic, we can all watch it."    

    

"Fine, fine, fine. What you say is the truth." Xia Bo was jealous in his heart. If it wasn't because of the large number of people, he would really go crazy.    

    

"Cao Xi, can you perform a magic trick for us?" Jiao Jiao asked.    

    

"Sure." Cao Xi nodded with his usual bright smile, "However, you have to tell me your cell number."    

    

"Sure." Jiao Jiao was beaming with joy. She quickly wrote down her cell number on the note. When she handed it to Cao Xi, her face was filled with shyness.    

    

When the others in the carriage saw this scene, they were jealous of the girl and speechless to the man. As expected of a magician, he was able to get his first year long-legged sister's cell phone number so easily.    

    

"And yours." Cao Xi looked at Zhou Qi.    

    

Zhou Qi exclaimed in surprise, "Can I do it too?"    

    

Cao Xi nodded.    

    

"Cao Xi, aren't you asking for too much?" Xia Bo became angry from embarrassment. This Cao Xi actually asked for his girlfriend's cell phone number in public.    

    

"Ah, you're his boyfriend?" Cao Xi was surprised.    

    

"Yes." Xia Boqiang suppressed his anger.    

    

"She wanted to give me her cell phone number. You can't blame me for that, right?" Cao Xi took the paper from Zhou Qi.    

    

Seeing this scene, Xia Bo was about to explode in anger.    

    

"It's just a phone call, it's not that important. If you want to do this, then go back to your seat." Zhou Qi's tone was both threatening and commanding, leaving Xia Bo in a dilemma.    

    

"I'll wait here for you." Xia Bo said sullenly.    

    

Cao Xi took out a pack of poker cards.    

    

Everyone's attention was focused on Cao Xi. The train was very quiet, and even the conductor was interested as he watched on the side.    

    

Pei Xiaoyuan was curious as to what magic Cao Xi could do.    

    

"Zhang Haorann, I don't have much experience in poker arts. If I were to learn it, wouldn't it take a lot of effort?" Xu Qing asked curiously.    

    

Zhang Haorann was surprised. Xu Qing became interested in magic and explained:    

    

"No matter how much you know about street magic, how old you are, how much you know about it, or what you're doing, it's hard to perform street magic on the street."    

    

"Before you can think about performing street magic, you need to learn some magic first, then practice hard, using mirrors, your family, selfie, and all the ways you can exercise. Your magic skills must be flawless and should not give people the possibility of second thoughts. Otherwise, it would be easy for it to be exposed. "    

    

Xu Qing exclaimed. She didn't expect Zhang Haorann to know so much. Zhang Haorann was indeed the guy she liked.    

    

"When you get used to it, you can combine some magic into a process. Start with some short magic, like two magic cards, or three magic cards. When you can handle it, do some longer magic next. If you know how to change your cards and perform your best magic, such as adapting some magic to show off bravely, you will get strong support from the audience. "    

    

Zhang Haorann's explanation made Xu Qing understand a lot about street magic.    

    

However, this atmosphere was a bit strange.    

    

Cao Xi was the focus of the train and he was the one who was about to change the magic of poker. However, Zhang Haorann explained it in a few sentences, which caused Cao Xi's presence to be greatly reduced.    

    

Many people, like Xu Qing, had a basic understanding of street magic because of Zhang Haorann's explanation.    

    

Cao Xi's expression changed.    

    

"So after I learned some magic, how am I supposed to choose where to perform?" Xu Qing asked again.    

    

Zhang Haorann said patiently.    

    

"To be successful, you have to choose a good venue to perform on. You need a lot of people, but not a very busy or crowded place. For example, you could go outside the restaurant, outside the store, or at a small gathering, or even at a bank. Of course, you must choose the right time, such as when people come out of restaurants or line up at banks.    

    

"The most important thing about performing magic is that to determine when people want to see you perform and grab their hearts, magic is half successful."    

    

With that, Zhang Haorann pointed at the poker card in Cao Xi's hand.    

    

"Cao Xi did quite well. Using this space in the train coach and through the curiosity of the people around him, he naturally began to perform magic."    

    

Zhang Haorann's words were like talking about rivers and mountains, and Cao Xi was just the person acting out of his mouth. Even the other people in the carriage secretly admired Zhang Haorann. They enjoyed the knowledge Zhang Haorann said.    

    

Cao Xi's eyes turned cold as he warned Zhang Haorann not to talk too much.    

    

Zhang Haorann didn't care what Cao Xi was thinking and said to Xu Qing,    

    

"The temperament that Cao Xi is showing now is the most difficult one. Do not skip this step, even if you have a lot of experience and no problems in performing for strangers. A street magician who gathers courage while maintaining a smile will make the show better and better, with confidence and a smile, the best way for the magician to get closer to the audience. "    

    

Pei Xiaoyuan exclaimed, "Master is too awesome, he even knows this."    

    

Zhang Haorann smiled faintly. He had read books about magic on the streets before, so it wasn't difficult for him to remember the requirements and places to pay attention to.    

    

Cao Xi put back the poker card he was holding onto the table and said in a lazy tone,    

    

"Friend, I see that you understand it this way. Show me what you've got, I want to learn it just in time."    

    

Zhou Qi and Jiao Jiao looked at Zhang Haorann as if he was their enemy. How could this guy be like this? Cao Xi's magic show is not something you can explain on the side, how are you going to let him perform?    

    

"Yeah, show everyone." Zhou Qi stood on the side of Cao Xi, angering her boyfriend, Xia Bo, so much so that he almost vomited blood.    

    

"You and Cao Xi are both wearing hats, but the quality of you two are completely different."    

    

"What did you say!" When it came to Zhang Haorann's topic, she was more forceful than anyone else.    

    

Zhou Qi and Jiao Jiao didn't expect that this girl who was above them in both looks and temperament would come forward for Zhang Haorann.    

    

Zhou Qi glared fiercely at Xu Qing.    

    

Seeing this, Zhang Haorann frowned and said lightly:    

    

"It's not that I don't want to perform."    

    

"I was afraid that my performance would be too big of a blow to Cao Xi. A magician without confidence, I'm afraid."    

    

Zhang Haorann's tone of voice surprised everyone in the carriage. This guy in a hat isn't afraid of overacting.
