I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan Chapter 743 508: Wishful Calculations

"If you don't dare to accept the challenge, then I won't make things difficult for you. Just reveal all your magic tricks and their schematics to the national audience."

After Peng Changye finished speaking, he handed over the microphone.

Imdiately, the entire recording venue erupted in applause. Peng Changye's image was sowhat redeed in the eyes of the crowd.

anwhile, Xia Liang was completely oblivious.

「The next day, after breakfast.」

Xia Liang casually left his house, planning his usual trip to Qingyun Comrcial Street.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before soone stopped him.

"Wow, God Xia, I finally found you! My na is Tongtong. I'm a strear on 'B Station' with over a million fans, and I ca to thank you. Before yesterday, I only had around two hundred thousand fans, but after I stread your magic, my followers shot up to over a million! Thank you so much," Liu Tongtong said excitedly.

Xia Liang was taken aback. He glanced at her and responded indifferently, "Well, congratulations. Do you need sothing?"

This strear looks to be about twenty-four or twenty-five. She's tall and slender, with an oval-shaped face and light makeup. Her looks are about a nine out of ten, and she's quite distinctive—the kind of woman who leaves an impression after just one glance.

Hearing this, Liu Tongtong didn't beat around the bush.

"Last night on the show 'Magic Night,' Peng Changye, the top magician in the Great Xia Country, issued a challenge to you. What are your thoughts on it? Are you planning to accept?" Liu Tongtong asked.

This matter was already causing a stir online. Peng Changye, a top national magician, had previously been trampled underfoot by Xia Liang on Qingyun Comrcial Street, suffering an utter defeat in magic. The video of the event was uploaded online and caused a huge sensation.

Peng Changye was even ridiculed as a clown, mocked by countless netizens.

Later, in a fit of rage, he issued a life-or-death challenge to Xia Liang on the set of the show. The loser would have to leave the Magic Circle.

As a popular 'B Station' strear, Liu Tongtong naturally paid close attention to this matter.

"Peng Changye challenged again? Didn't he lose badly enough yesterday?" Xia Liang asked, sowhat surprised.

After returning ho last night, Xia Liang had been busy playing gas with the two girls and didn't have ti to pay attention to what was happening online.

"What? You... you don't know about this?" Liu Tongtong asked, astonished.

"Why should I? Am I supposed to know about this? Peng Changye's magic is just cheap showmanship. Instead of taking the ti to properly study his craft, he relies on gimmicks to build a persona for himself as so great 'Magic Master.' It's aningless. The mont he faces a real test, he falls apart. And frankly, the fact that a third-rate magician like him gets hyped up as a top national talent, letting his ego get so inflated... I think the entire audience shares so of the bla for that," Xia Liang said indifferently.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned into silence by Xia Liang's words.

[God Xia has a point. I can't even argue with that.]

[It's truly a case of 'when the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey proclaims itself king.']

[I was wrong, God Xia!]

Liu Tongtong also fell silent for a mont, unable to find any words to refute him. After all, what he said made perfect sense.

A third-rate magician would never have beco so popular if the audience hadn't hyped him up. How else could he have declared himself the nation's top magician?

"Even if he's a third-rate magician, rumor has it he's asked his master to co out of retirent to help him. They want to challenge you to a large-scale 'Water Tank Survival' duel on the show, in front of the entire country. So, are you going to accept?" Liu Tongtong asked hesitantly.

"You an go to the 'Magic Night' stage to face him? Not interested. That stage is too small. Besides, if I go on their show, I'm just giving them free publicity and ratings. I'm already a hot topic online, why would I care about their show? If Peng Changye really wants to compete in large-scale magic, we can do it anywhere. It doesn't have to be on the stage of so 'Magic Night' show."

Xia Liang paused for a mont before continuing.

"I even suspect the guy colluded with the show's producers. He probably took so money from them to gamble his reputation against mine. After all, he wins regardless of the outco," Xia Liang stated calmly.

The audience in the live stream deeply agreed with Xia Liang's reaction.

[He's right! We almost fell for Peng Changye's sche. That guy is too devious, trying to use God Xia to make a quick buck. Despicable!]

[God Xia sees through everything. The entire internet was played by Peng Changye.]

[His magic is terrible, but his money-making skills are top-notch!]

[Shaless Peng Changye! Good thing God Xia is sharp enough not to fall for it. That TV station is shaless too, resorting to such tricks.]

Hearing this, Liu Tongtong also grew indignant.

"You're right! Now that you ntion it, that must be it. Peng Changye is so shaless! Teaming up with the show to cash in on your fa... They profit whether he wins or loses. We can't let them get away with it!"

Xia Liang glanced at her with a hint of amusent and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Liu Tongtong gave an awkward smile. "So, are you still going to perform magic today? Can I co along and watch? After seeing your magic yesterday, I was truly amazed. I've never seen magic so miraculous!"
