Chapter 1341: The entire world’s Chinese population gets shocked!Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At Zhang Ye’s maternal grandma’s house.

“That was so amazing!”

“This is good, this is good!”

“How did that happen?”

“Just how on earth did he make it disappear?”

“Stop talking and keep watching.”

…

At Old Wu’s parents’ house.

“Aiyo!”

“That gave me such a fright!”

“This—this—”

“Where’s the apple juice? Where did the juice disappear to?”

“We have to ask Little Ye when he gets back!”

…

In a household.

“Dear, quickly come over and watch the magic show!”

“I’m playing mahjong.”

“Stop playing! Come quickly!”

“What’s the matter?”

“The magic show this year is unlike those from the past years!”

…

This was what close-up magic was. There weren’t any grand scenes.

But sometimes, it was exactly such simple things that would thrill and excite people!

On television, Yan Mei was walking over in amazement. “Thank you, thank you, Chen Tian. That was spectacular.”

Chen Tian stood up and said to her with a smile, “Hello.”

Yan Mei said to the audience, “Today, we’ve invited several audience members to sit around him, in front, behind, on the left, and on the right. They will be observing from a close distance as he performs his magic. You can say that every move that he makes will be closely scrutinized.” She then also sat down at the table. “Of course, I’m also one of those who will be observing.”

Chen Tian inhaled. “Such great pressure.” He took his seat as well and looked at the camera with a smile. “Alright then, everyone, let’s have a look at the things that I will be using today. First, there’s this round table.” He stretched out his hand and tapped on the surface. “This is acrylic glass.”

Clunk clunk clunk.

Chen Tian said, “It’s very strong.”

Yan Mei doubtfully stretched out her hand to give it a tap.

Chen Tian smiled and asked, “So does it feel strong?”

Yan Mei nodded. “Yes.”

Chen Tian turned his head and asked the audience member next to him. “Give it a try too.”

The middle-aged man also tapped on it a few times.

Chen Tian asked, “Does it feel strong?”

The middle-aged man said, “It’s strong.”

Chen Tian said, “Alright, I will require the use of a mat for my next act.” Then he took out a black mat and placed it onto the table. “And these, some coins, as well as a glass bowl.” He took them out one by one. “Actually, the entire process is very simple.” He looked to the right. “Sir, could I borrow your right hand?”

The middle-aged was a little startled before reaching out his hand.

Chen Tian lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. “Did you wash your hands?”

The audience broke out into laughter. “Hahahaha.”

Chen Tian placed three coins in the middle-aged man’s hand and then took one for himself. “What I will do next is to push this coin through the tabletop and catch it from below!”

Yan Mei was surprised. “What?”

The audience was also dumbfounded!

What did you say?

Push it through?

The glass?

How is that possible?!

—That was everyone’s initial reaction!

Chen Tian smiled and said, “I know that this sounds quite unbelievable, so I want to make a pact with everyone. If I pull it off, I won’t ask for much, just give me five seconds of applause. Can you all do that?”

Yan Mei said, “Much less five seconds, I’ll even clap for ten seconds for you!”

The audience members stared with wide eyes.

Chen Tian smiled. “Well then, watch closely. Don’t blink.”

He held up the coin and pinched it with his fingers. His other hand was holding the glass bowl and positioned under the table. The atmosphere seemed to have frozen.

One second.

Two seconds.

All of a sudden, Chen Tian loosened his grip on the coin.

The next moment, something clinked from below the table!

Yan Mei was stunned!

The audience burst into an uproar!

Chen Tian brought the glass bowl back into view from under the table. The coin was in the bowl!

Instantly, applause rang out!

“Oh my God!”

“Damn!”

“It really went through!”

“How did he do it?”

“Th-This is too unbelievable!”

The atmosphere at the venue erupted!

The TV viewers were also stunned. They could feel goosebumps all over their body! They had seen it happen right before their very own eyes!

Yan Mei exclaimed, “H-How did you do it?”

Chen Tian gave her a look. “Ms. Yan Mei, I can sense from the look in your eyes that you’re doubtful. I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking that this black mat on the table should have something in connection to the coin passing through the tabletop, am I right? Please say yes.”

Yan Mei helplessly said, “Yes.”

The audience was amused.

That’s right!

The mat on the table!

That mat must be a magician’s prop!

Chen Tian smiled and said, “Alright, since Ms. Yan Mei has her doubts, I will remove this mat from the table.” He really took it away. “If I can make the coin pass through the table in such circumstances, that would really be too incredible.” He looked into the camera. “So I still have the same request. If I can do it, I won’t ask for much again. All I need is two hours of applause from you all.”

Yan Mei giggled. “Pfft!”

The audience laughed. “Pfft!”

Hahahaha!

Two hours?

And you claim that’s not asking for much!

Do you know how many hours the Spring Festival Gala runs for!

Chen Tian had already picked up a coin and placed it onto the glass table. He covered it with his hand and then positioned the bowl underneath to catch it.

The venue fell silent!

Chen Tian did not move.

The audience did not blink.

Suddenly, Chen Tian shifted his hand a little.

At the same moment, the entire Chinese world’s viewers watched as the coin suddenly fell through the glass and clinked into the bowl!

…

At Zhang Ye’s maternal grandma’s house.

His three sisters screamed!

His parents also exclaimed out loud!

…

At Old Wu’s parents’ house.

Wu Mo was dumbfounded from watching!

Wu Changhe and Li Qinqin couldn’t look any more surprised!

…

At the venue.

A lot of people were so shocked that they forgot to clap!

Yan Mei said, “What just happened?” She rapped the tabletop. “What’s going on here?”

Chen Tian looked at her. “Ms. Yan Mei, I can again sense from the look in your eyes that you’re still doubtful. I know what you’re thinking. Even though the coin has passed through the tabletop, my hand was covering it at the moment that it fell through it. You must be thinking that there’s some kind of trickery in there, right? Please say yes.”

Yan Mei gave a wry smile. “Yes.”

The audience laughed.

“Hahahaha!”

“She didn’t say anything at all!”

“You’re just making things up yourself!”

Chen Tian wiped his hands. “OK, due to Ms. Yan Mei’s doubts, I shall attempt an even harder challenge. I’ll make the coin pass through the acrylic glass without covering it up with my hands or anything else.”

What?

Not covering it?

The audience once again burst into an uproar!

Then Chen Tian said something even more shocking. “And not only that, I’ll let you pinpoint which area of the glass surface you want me to make it pass through.”

Yan Mei randomly pointed. “Here then.”

Chen Tian asked, “Over here? Alright.” He placed the three coins together at the spot Yan Mei pointed at on the glass. “On top of that, you can choose any one of the coins that you wish to see passing through the glass.”

Yan Mei was startled. “Me? Pick a coin?”

Chen Tian nodded. “Yes.”

Yan Mei chose without thinking. “I’ll choose the one in the middle.”

The live audience applauded loudly!

Good one!

The middle coin is the most difficult one to attempt!

Being in the middle, it was in between the two other coins!

Chen Tian said, “The one in the middle? Alright, no one blink.” He bent forward and reached a hand underneath the table. He pointed at the middle coin from below the glass. “Is it this one?”

Yan Mei had a look. “Yes.”

But before the audience could react!

Chen Tian suddenly slapped his hand against the bottom of the glass!

Yan Mei jumped!

The audience was surprised too!

Clink-ring-ring!

The coins on the table flipped into the air from the force!

The next moment, everyone discovered to their shock that there were only two coins left on top of the glass. Meanwhile, the coin that was in the middle had now impressively appeared in Chen Tian’s palm below the table!

Applause!

Cheers!

Screams!

All of that filled the stage in a split second!

…

It blew up on Weibo!

“Ahhh!”

“This—this—” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“That was so impressive!”

“How did he do that!”

“My God!”

“Does it need to be so ruthless!”

“Why aren’t there any loopholes?”

“Yeah, why can’t anyone spot it?”

“Damn, I’m almost laying down before the television!”

“Heavens!”

…

On TV.

Yan Mei continuously exclaimed, “I’m can’t even believe my eyes.”

Chen Tian looked at her yet again.

Yan Mei nodded and said, “I’m doubtful!”

Chen Tian said, “Ah? But I haven’t even asked.”

“You did not ask, but I know that you’ll be asking me to say ‘please say yes.'”

The audience was rolling with laughter!

Chen Tian laughed and said, “In fact, most magicians would end their show at this point. But since we’re on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala tonight, I’d like to extend it a little.”

The audience became very excited upon hearing that!

Wow!

There’s still more?

What else can he come up with?

Shouldn’t that already be the furthest he can go?

He already made the coin pass through the tabletop without covering it, so what else could he be attempting?

A minute later!

When Chen Tian covered one of his hands and pushed it through the glass tabletop to retrieve those coins from Yan Mei’s palm below the table!

The entire audience went crazy!

The countless TV viewers were so startled that they jumped out of their seats!

“Ahhhh!”

“My God!”

“Fuck, did they really have to make it so ridiculous!”

“God!”

“Someone tell me that this isn’t real!”

“Why?”

“How?!”

A magic act that had never gained acceptance in the many years of the Spring Festival Gala had ignited the entire venue!

Astonishment!

Shock!

Thrill!

Dumbfoundedness!

All kinds of expressions appeared on everyone’s faces!

They had really gone crazy. This magic show was too stunning!

This was Zhang Ye’s idea?

This was Zhang Ye’s concept?

It was stunning despite being simple!

There was humor within the shock!

This magic act was absolutely perfect!
