"Ahem, could a few of you please cooperate... Whether this episode's material can be effective or usable depends on you guys."
Gu Mo sighed, realizing that his persuasion didn't seem to have much effect, and decided to continue at his own pace. He composed his expression, switched to a serious face, and snapped his fingers crisply.
"Alright, I feel your strong intention, and I know what you want to retrieve. Look at the cards in your hands; you'll be pleasantly surprised..."
He forcibly brought the topic back to the prepared script.
A few girls, listening to his words, instinctively looked at the playing cards tightly held in their hands, and their eyes imdiately filled with deep astonishnt. What they were holding in their hands was no longer hard playing cards, but red, flowery bills, one or two each, adding up to exactly the amount they were looking for earlier.
"Hey, how could this be..."
"So magical!"
"What kind of magic trick is this?! How did he do it?"
The girls cried out in astonishnt, unable to imagine the thod behind it. The cards they drew earlier were clearly playing cards, and both the visual and tactile senses told them so, and they had been holding onto them all along.
They weren't exactly gripping them tightly, but they definitely hadn't loosened their fingers. Yet, in such a situation, the playing cards in their hands had silently turned into hundred-yuan bills.
It's true that magic tricks play with attention, and their attention was indeed completely focused on the person opposite, with no ti to pay attention elsewhere, yet still felt everything was too magical.
—How on earth did he do it?
At this mont, the girl who had lost money earlier realized what had happened, and with a mix of surprise and joy, she bowed repeatedly to Gu Mo, thanking him continuously. It wasn't clear whether the delight was because a kind person had returned the money to her, or because of the kind person himself.
"No need to thank , but keep your things safe, don't be so careless next ti..."
Gu Mo smiled casually, waving his hand nonchalantly as he advised. The extraordinary charm blessed by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox slightly took effect, making the girls opposite a bit dizzy... It seed to overlap with one of the effects of the Demon Eye, at least charm was an ability he already possessed.
It can also be seen as filling in gaps, because the confusing divine power of the Nine-tailed is more often limited to a special attack on the opposite gender. It's not that it has no effect on the sa gender, but relatively speaking, the effect is definitely much weaker. Whereas the charm of the Demon Eye can equally affect any target within the line of sight, with its effect not varying by gender.
"Ho-how could it be, what do you an by careless... I'm usually very careful; today was just an accident, alright..." The girl's cheeks reddened as she hastily tried to defend herself, afraid of leaving a bad label or impression on the other party.
"By the way... um, could you..." She glanced at the person in front of her again, stifling her shyness as she stepped forward and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"No." Gu Mo waved his hand slightly regretfully, preemptively delivering the line of rejection.
"..."
"..."
"Hey! I-I haven't even said anything yet..." The girl was a bit speechless and suddenly panicked when she realized. She was thinking of asking for the other's contact information in a generous manner, with a ready reason to thank him and later invite him to a al or sothing.
"But I already know, whether you say it or not doesn't matter..."
Gu Mo lightly coughed, spreading his hands as he explained. Of course, he didn't have any mind reading technique, but what the other party wanted to say was already so clearly written on her face that he obviously knew.
"Then why not?" The girl was obviously unwilling to give up, ensnared more deeply in the fox elf's charm, having a naturally romantic heart and liking sweet romance dramas. The current situation made her feel this was a fateful encounter.
If she hadn't gone out for a walk tonight and lost her money, she wouldn't have t soone who completely captivated her... And it was because she lost her money today that she encountered him, who happened to find her money, allowing her to see him.
—Isn't this fate?
When such thoughts erge in the mind, and when one falls for such tropes, it naturally doubles the effectiveness of the Nine-tailed's mind-bewildering divine power. This is basically similar to self-hypnosis or self-courting, where the other party hasn't done anything, but one's own progress bar is already filled up.
It's like those situations where you just t; you don't even know the other's na, but you've already thought of what to na future children.
"Why... mainly because when you ask like this in front of her, it really isn't convenient for to agree..." Gu Mo said earnestly, pointing a finger towards the air beside him. "So maybe next ti, next ti for sure."
