Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 336 If you're not sure, then try them all!
Soso~la-do~re-mi~re-do-la~
After dinner, Zhai Da leaned against the balcony and played "A Lifetime of Love" on his harmonica.

The sky outside the window darkened in a short time; there should be a heavy rain in Harbin today.

It did indeed complement his sorrowful yet elegant piano playing.

Unfortunately, the harmonica's limitation is that it cannot be played while singing.

The wind is a bit noisy tonight.

After muttering to himself for a moment without getting a response, Zhai Da looked at Lu Wei on the living room sofa: "Shouldn't you say 'So handsome'?"

Lu Wei looked up: "Why are you wearing a cape?"

Zhai Da raised his arm, his cloak unfurling like wings: "It doesn't matter, just tell me if he's handsome or not."

After a moment of silence, Lu Wei, defying her intellect but not her affection, said, "So handsome."

Zhai Da immediately opened the system and glanced at the unsealing quest for the [Cloak of Faith].

(0/100).

Haha, woman!
Of course, his pose with the cloak while playing the harmonica wasn't entirely to test the cloak's unlocking quest.

This was also to consider the setting of "miracle believers".

Playing the harmonica can enhance logical thinking skills, enabling him to think more efficiently.

It's common knowledge that you get very nervous when you only have one chance to make a choice in your life, like getting married.

You'll only be able to accept things when you realize that they don't necessarily happen only once in a lifetime, like nine marriages.

Zhai Da is clearly the former at present.

However, playing the harmonica was still useful; he had just come up with two new ideas.

With a deafening roar, the sound of thunder seemed to be right next to Zhai Da's ears.

The bleak atmosphere intensified, but Zhai Da continued playing the harmonica.

The new idea is to try to break out of the definition of magic and define new magic.

For example, design a "Close-up Magic: The Brain" or "Close-up Magic: Predicting the Future".

Although these two deviate somewhat from the concept of close-up magic and the performance effect will not be very good, they are not entirely insurmountable.

The former can use "rapid memorization" as the main content (in reality, it is still pre-memorization or pre-recorded), and use language to make the audience associate with the "Super Brain".

The latter focuses on "predicting events" (which is actually still based on prior memory and deception), creating the feeling that one can foresee the future. However, close-up magic can only predict the short term. If the time span is too long, it obviously exceeds the scope of close-up magic, even if it is only one hour.

Zhai Da couldn't help but recall a movie about a magician who could foresee the future.

Of course, the specific level of ability he acquires depends on how the audience perceives it, and then an average is taken. It is possible that what he acquires as the "most powerful brain" is just an extraordinary memory, and the so-called "prediction of the future" is only applicable to specific matters.
It depends on how the program is designed.

Suddenly, he understood.

The most urgent task is not to blindly fill in the multiple-choice question that you only get one chance in your life, but to come up with the content of the magic trick.

Any great magic trick requires good design and preparation, as well as verification and optimization.

He can design multiple close-up magic tricks, practice and even perform them continuously, verify which one is the best, and then fill in the options.

If you're unsure, just touch them all!
If you can't decide, then keep them all!

If that doesn't work, we'll move on to the next batch!
He needed to have "super brain", "precognition", and "object control"—he chose from these three for his close-up magic stage.

Once the close-up magic is secured, then we can start designing stage magic, including using the abilities and equipment gained from close-up magic to elevate the expressiveness and persuasiveness of stage magic. Finally, there's large-scale magic.

In addition, regarding the performance aspect, apart from close-up magic, everything else needs to be broadcast on television and the internet. Perhaps in the future, we could plan a dedicated television program, like "A Date with Luyu," which we could record ourselves and then broadcast overseas, achieving a win-win situation with joyful education! The magician's persona must not be lost; it has become somewhat diluted recently and needs to be strengthened! It is both a necessary identity for performance and a layer of protection.

With his ideas clear, Zhai Da felt much more relaxed and began to try designing some close-up magic tricks.

Most close-up magic tricks involve just a quick sway, a prop, or a technique, but what Zhai Da wanted was clearly more complex.

It wasn't until after 9 p.m., when it was pouring rain outside, that Zhai Da finally put aside the chaos brought on by the system.

I called Lin Haixiang and his son to thank them and let them know that I had received the items.

That box of local specialties was actually a bit meager from a gift-giving perspective. It contained dried bean curd sticks, sausages, and pomelo tea. The only item with somewhat vague value was the tea. It was clear that they had tried hard to put together a large box.

But they had already put their heart into it. Lin Haixiang originally ran a small supermarket, but after the child was lost, he sold most of his things, and the expenses of the journey had left his small family destitute.

Zhai Da wasn't just talking about writing a book casually. He chatted with Lin Haixiang for a while during the phone call, mainly about the child-finding association Lin Haixiang had joined. There were many families in similar situations, which provided mutual support in terms of spiritual support and information channels, and was one of Zhai Da's sources of material.

However, more specific details need to be discussed in more detail, and the consent of other families also needs to be obtained.

However, Zhai Da does not intend to place this book primarily from the perspective of abducted families. As mentioned before, it is meaningless to merely expose this crime and reflect the suffering of ordinary families in the work.

Instead, we should write down the correct ways to deal with it, so that if ordinary people witness similar things again, they can react a second earlier and know the solution a second earlier.

Some literature and films are always keen to expose the dark side of society, as if doing so makes them literary figures of integrity and artistic masters. But they never tell readers and audiences "why" or "how".

They just like to stir up the most disgusting quagmires on the vast land, then give them the most professional close-ups and write about them in detail, then take them abroad to win a few awards and make a fortune.

Meanwhile, those who work in remote mountain villages to alleviate poverty and provide education, but who truly solve problems, remain unknown.

With awards and fame as positive feedback, even if the initial intentions are different, it will most likely end up as "criticism for the sake of criticism" and start to fabricate and fabricate.

Zhai Da doesn't want to write works like that.

He wanted to write works that aimed not merely at exposure, but at "correction."

This book will still be targeted at young people, because only young people will buy physical books and are its target audience, so it needs to be more interesting.

On the extra-long desk in the bedroom, Zhai Da tapped his pen, mentally sketching out a main storyline.
Occasionally, when he gets distracted, he will gently rub the smooth, soft knee of the little wooden thing.

Lu Wei felt the touch, turned her head, and asked in confusion, "Why are you still wearing a cloak?"

Zhai Da slowly turned his head: "It's like wearing it and not wanting to take it off."

Lu Wei:
Suddenly, an idea popped into Zhai Da's mind.

It needs to have relevant plot and case prototypes, and also have a story.

It should appeal to the target audience and avoid becoming preachy or preachy; it should offer practical and feasible methods.

Zhai Da dialed a phone number.

"Hello, Zhai Da?"

"Where are you?"

On the other end of the phone, Wu Yue said, "I'm at the factory, or more precisely, at the research institute. I just ran into 'Turing.' Let's grab a Coke and chat. What's up?"

"I plan to write a book based on you as the main character."

"I don't understand..."

"You're going to be the male lead!!"

Wu Yue: ?
