Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Looking for...something fun?"

Xia Ming's eyes were filled with confusion.

She didn't quite understand what the red-haired girl with pigtails was saying.

Is having fun considered part of one's job?

"That's right." Xu Huanhuan sat in the swivel chair, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth.

It's not just about having fun!

We still need to find Yang Xian to have some fun!

It's okay if you don't understand now; you'll understand later.

Xu Huanhuan pulled a stack of beautifully printed flyers from under the table and handed them to Xia Ming. "Here, your first task is to distribute these. The more people who know, the better!"

Xia Ming quickly stepped forward and respectfully accepted the flyer.

At the very top of the flyer were the words "Phantom Night" in large, eye-catching letters.

"A magic show?"

Xia Ming was taken aback. "Boss Xu, are you going to perform magic yourself?"

So it turns out that "finding fun" actually means creating happiness for others!

I understand!

Xia Ming instantly felt that he had grasped the true meaning of this job, and felt more respect for this seemingly eccentric boss.

"That's right, the person in front of you is the most outstanding magician in the entire South China Sea!" Xu Huanhuan put down her mask.

"And not only will I be performing on stage, but you, as my assistant, will also be coming up with me!"

"Huh?" Xia Ming panicked immediately. "Boss Xu, but... but I don't know how to do anything!"

Should we let her go on stage?

She can't even shuffle playing cards, how can she be a magician's assistant?

"It's okay."

Xu Huanhuan's smile grew even brighter, but there was a hint of malice in it. "The grand finale of tomorrow night's magic show is 'The Great Disappearance.' Just listen to my instructions."

"I see..." Xia Ming nodded emphatically. "I understand! I'll go hand out flyers now!"

This job is way too easy!

High pay, daily pay, and the job is so simple!

I've really struck gold!

"Wait, take this."

Just as Xia Ming turned to leave, Xu Huanhuan called out to her.

Then, Xu Huanhuan laboriously pulled out a cardboard box from under the table. The box had a small round hole on its side.

"This is a raffle box, specifically for drawing seat numbers. When you hand out flyers, let anyone who's interested draw one."

Xu Huanhuan patted the box and added mysteriously, "Tell them that if they win the grand prize, they can also take home a globally limited edition 'Star Wanderer' immersive gaming helmet for free after the performance!"

Xia Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Free show and such expensive gifts?

Although she doesn't play games, she has heard of this name. It is said to be a top-tier item that money can't buy, worth at least six figures.

This Mr. Xu is such a generous and kind person!

"Okay! I understand!"

Xia Ming picked up the raffle box, full of enthusiasm.

"Oh, right," Xu Huanhuan reminded her before she left, "If you know any friends, remember to invite them to come and watch together! Also, remember to start distributing from the training ground!"

"Okay, Mr. Xu!" Xia Ming replied, carrying the flyers and the raffle box, and left with light steps.

Watching Xia Ming's departing figure, Xu Huanhuan's sweet smile gradually turned wicked.

She gently spun the chair around and whispered in a voice only she could hear.

"Go, go, make sure you get that guy Yang Xian notified!"

"He'll absolutely love... tomorrow night's 'disappearing act'!"

------

On the other side, at the training ground.

"I quit! I'm never doing this again!"

Nan Shunian walked ahead with a look of utter despair. "Whoever wants to learn this stupid movement technique can learn it, but I'm not learning it! It's too hard! Harder than the college entrance exam!"

"Seriously!" Yang Xian followed behind her, covering his face in exasperation. "Can you please show some willpower?"

This is the fifth time today that Nan Shunian has announced his withdrawal.

Yang Xiandu suspected that this movement technique had chosen her so that he could torture her.

The two walked out one after the other and immediately spotted Xia Ming handing out flyers not far away.

"Xia Ming?"

Yang Xian was a little surprised. "What a coincidence! Don't you have class this morning?"

"Yang Xian!" Xia Ming's face lit up with a bright smile when he saw the familiar face.

"It was just one 8 AM session, and it's already finished."

"By the way, there's a magic show in the auditorium tomorrow night. Are you interested in going?"

As he spoke, Xia Ming enthusiastically handed over two flyers.

"A magic show?" Yang Xian took it, glanced at the contents, and said, "Thank you. I'll definitely come to support you when I have time."

He casually handed one to Nan Shunian.

Here, take one.

"I don't want to!" Nan Shunian glanced at it and waved her hand listlessly.

"That precious time at night is definitely for playing games together!"

"Only children would go to see such a childish performance!"

Yang Xian glanced at Xia Ming awkwardly and explained apologetically, "I'm sorry, my friend is just a straightforward person, she didn't mean any harm."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Ming shook his head nonchalantly.

She held the cardboard box and spoke to Yang Xian:

"Yang Xian, why don't you try your luck? You can reserve a seat in advance!"

"If you're lucky enough to win the grand prize, you can also receive a free, globally limited edition 'Star Wanderer' immersive gaming headset after the performance!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shunian's dead fish eyes instantly lit up.

"What? You're giving away 'Star Wanderer'? And the collector's edition at that?"

"Me first! Me first!" Nan Shunian excitedly pushed Yang Xian aside and eagerly reached her hand into the lottery box.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, God of Games, please show your power..."

Finally, she grasped a piece of paper and carefully pulled it out.

Upon unfolding it, there was an Arabic numeral on it—

"1!"

Nan Shunian held up the small note and jumped up excitedly, completely unlike her previous look of being on the verge of death.

"Yang Xian! Did you see that?! Number one! The jackpot!"

"I am the chosen one!"

Yang Xian watched from the side, his eyes twitching.

This luck... it's a real shame not to buy a lottery ticket.

However, for some reason, he always felt that things were going too smoothly, as if an unseen hand was orchestrating everything from behind the scenes.

In the distance, on the rooftop of the teaching building.

Xu Huanhuan swung her little feet, a smug smile curving her lips.

"Hehe, the fish has taken the bait."

"Yang Xian, I hope you'll enjoy the special program I've prepared for you tomorrow~"
