Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

After all, learning anything starts with 'seeing, hearing, and doing,' whether you are taught by someone else or learn on your own.

Learning is learning by watching others teach, and learning is learning by watching videos yourself.

They are essentially no different.

However, Bai Feng could sense that if it was just 'looking', the magician's professional experience gain seemed to be much less than that of other professions in the early stages.

Normally, this wouldn't happen.

Just like the profession of writer, when Shiro Shiro writes a novel, he gains significantly more experience than when he reads one.

Based on this situation, he felt that the profession of magician might require hands-on practice and performance to increase experience.

Shiro Shiro thought it was very likely, but since there were no audience members or props available, he couldn't determine if it was real. He could only try it out when he went to school tomorrow.

After watching a one-hour magic tutorial video, Shiro Shiro had grasped some of the essence of magic.

Magic is a performing art that focuses on constantly changing and unpredictable elements to bring surprises to the audience; it is the art of creating wonder.

Magic is a highly sophisticated performing art that combines visual communication, psychology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, criminal investigation, and performance studies, based on scientific principles and using specially made props.

By capitalizing on people's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, various incredible and unpredictable phenomena are created to achieve an artistic effect that is indistinguishable from reality.

Magic has different names in different contexts.

Close-up magic: Performing magic at close range in front of one or more audience members requires skilled techniques and props, which are mostly everyday items such as coins and playing cards.

Because of the face-to-face contact with the audience, and the fact that the audience can often touch the performance objects, the impact is often enormous.

Tableside performance: This type of performance usually takes place in restaurants, where the performer goes from table to table.

Street magic: A performance style that has emerged, most notably the American magician David Blaine, who performed on the streets and interacted with the audience in various ways.

Bar magic: This type of performance uses small to medium-sized props and is suitable for bars, nightclubs, birthday parties, or anniversary celebrations. It is highly interactive, often making the audience laugh out loud.

Stage magic: requires large magic props, dance, stage lighting, and sound effects (and the stage may need to be specially modified). This type of performance is only suitable for viewing from a distance, such as in a large theater or auditorium.

Before learning about magic, Shiro Shiro was actually unaware that magic could be divided into these categories.

However, after learning more about it, he did find some magic tricks quite interesting.

But it's already very late, almost midnight.

Shiro Shiro also felt it was time to rest.

So he closed his laptop and prepared to go back to bed to rest.

Before taking a break, Shiro Shiro opened the panel and carefully checked the increase in professional experience for the day.

The student, chef, and writer professions were recently upgraded, and there is still a long time before the next level is reached.

After looking at these three professions, Shinobu Shiro mainly looked at the magician profession.

Occupation: Magician

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 23/100]

[Skill: (LV1 Magic Space)]

"Only 23 experience points were gained?"

Shinobu raised an eyebrow, not expecting the newly acquired professional experience to increase so slowly.

It should be noted that in the past, most of the professions he obtained could be upgraded to LV2 in about one or two days.

Based on the current rate of increase, it will probably take about 4 to 5 days for the Magician to level up.

If upgrading to LV2 is already like this, then upgrading to LV3 will likely be much slower than other professions as well.

After carefully recalling all the professions he had previously acquired, Shiro Kaede guessed why the experience points for these professions had increased so quickly.

That is, when he was gaining professional experience, he was doing things that were consistent with the profession itself.

A student's profession is attending classes and studying.

A chef's profession is simply doing the work of a chef.

A writer's profession is simply writing and reading books.

All four professions involve actions that align with the nature of the profession itself, which leads to a faster increase in professional experience.

According to this analysis, if he wants to level up quickly in every profession, he needs to play the profession he has currently acquired!

In other words, if you want to level up quickly as a magician, you have to play the role of a magician yourself!

With that in mind, Shiro Shiro had already figured out his upgrade path: to find ways to perform magic tricks!

After considering all this, he closed the attribute panel and checked how much money was needed to acquire the next profession.

[Amount required to unlock the next profession: 3000 million]

Upon seeing this amount, Shiro Shiro was also taken aback.

Thirty million yen.

Although I knew beforehand that each upgrade would cost a lot of money.

But 30 million yen is indeed a bit high.

It's worth noting that the average person's annual income is only 443 million yen.

Based on their income level, it would take them at least 6 to 7 years to earn 30 million yen.

If Bai Feng were just an ordinary person, seeing this amount would indeed be quite distressing.

Fortunately, he now has the professions of a chef and a writer, both of which bring him considerable income.

In addition, his novel will be released soon.

With a two-pronged approach, even in the worst-case scenario, this new profession can be launched within three months.

Then, Shiro Shiro turned on his phone to see if anyone had sent him a message. If not, he would prepare to go to sleep.

When Shiro Shiro opened his phone, he found that three people had sent him messages today: Chinatsu Igarashi, Maki Mizuno, and Rika Maejima.

He was a little curious, so he clicked on the message that Igarashi Chinatsu had sent at 5 p.m.

After all, these editors now have their own books, and if they want to make money writing novels in the future, they will inevitably have to rely on these editors.

But why did she contact me today? Could it be something else?

[Chinatsu Igarashi: Kamishiro-kun, are you there?]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: I'm here, what's up?]

I received a reply shortly after sending the message.

[Chinatsu Igarashi: (▼ヘ▼#) You only replied to my message at midnight. Don't you usually check LINE, Kamishiro-kun?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: I rarely check it. I usually only check messages around midnight.]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: -_-|| Kamishiro-kun, are you really a young person? These days, young people are glued to their phones, checking messages several times an hour. You, on the other hand, only check your messages once a day, around midnight?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: I'm usually quite busy. If Ms. Igarashi needs anything, please just call me directly; that's what my family always does.]

【Chinatsu Igarashi: Okay.】

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Is there something you need from me today?]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: I mentioned before that your novel, "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," was going to be available for purchase in the next few days. I'm here to let you know that it will be available in other bookstores tomorrow.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: It's going to be available tomorrow? That's great! To be honest, I've been waiting for quite a while.]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: (*￣︶￣) It seems Kamishiro-kun is also looking forward to it, but there's nothing I can do about it. This is the usual process for books; you have to wait about a month.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: According to Ms. Igarashi's statement, is there some other way to quickly get items available for purchase?]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: Yes, but it requires the editor-in-chief's approval. Once he agrees, the new book can be available within a week.]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: A week? That's really fast.]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: Yes, but speed doesn't necessarily work; sales volume is what matters. Regardless, I'm managing your book, and I sincerely hope it will be a big hit.]

[Kamishiro Shirokaze: Then I'll accept your kind words.]

[Chinatsu Igarashi: By the way, since you're the author, the printing press usually orders a few first-print original versions of the novel for both the author and the publisher. Our publishing house will keep one copy, and the author will also have one. If I have the chance later, I'll send these copies to you. Remember to sign and stamp them all.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Okay, thank you.]

After chatting for a while, Shiro Shiro started clicking on the messages that Mizuno Maki had just sent.

He was rather curious as to why Mizuno Maki, who rarely sent messages, had suddenly sent one.

[Maki Mizuno: Kamishiro-kun, are you there?]

[Kamishiro Hakufeng: I'm here, what's up?]

I received a reply a while after sending the message.

[Maki Mizuno: Actually, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask about the novel you mentioned would be released soon. Is it about to go on sale yet?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Yes, the editor just contacted me and said it will be released tomorrow.]

[Maki Mizuno: Tomorrow? What time is it tomorrow?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: I just heard from Igarashi-san that the book seems to have arrived today. It should be available for sale when the bookstore opens tomorrow morning. However, since some bookstores don't open until 9 or 10 a.m., I won't be able to go buy it while I'm at school.]

[Maki Mizuno: So... will you go to the bookstore tomorrow to check on the sales?]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Probably, what's wrong?]

[Maki Mizuno: I was just saying that we usually get out of school around 3 or 4 pm. Tomorrow, before I have to go to work at 5 pm, I think we still have a lot of time to go to the bookstore. After all, everyone made a promise with Chitanda-san about that little game or something, and I also have a couple of novels I like recently, so I was thinking of going to check them out together.]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Oh, that's true. Let's go together tomorrow then.]

[Maki Mizuno: Hmm. It's getting late, goodnight.]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Good night. 】

After replying to Mizuno Maki, Shiro Shiro clicked on the message that Maejima Rika had just sent.

[Maejima Rika: Ciallo~(∠ω<)⌒☆Good evening, Kamishiro-kun. 】

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: Good evening, what's up?]
