Chapter 55: What Can Magic Do in the Modern World?
Chapter 55: What Can Magic Do in the Modern World?
Upon hearing his uncle’s words, Gao Qiu Jingwen’s face was filled with surprise. He hadn’t expected that a transmigrator could actually meet a compatriot in the Otherworld.
“So, Uncle, has your friend Nanyezhou, who you mentioned, also returned to this world?”
Gao Qiu Jingwen, who had just finished watching a segment of the Otherworld mini-theater, was now extremely curious about Yecheng’s existence.
As is well known, when we, as third parties, watch films or anime, we often unconsciously place ourselves in the roles of the characters. Gao Qiu Jingwen was no exception.
In the Otherworld mini-theater that his uncle showed him, apart from his own frequent appearances, the person who appeared the most was Yecheng, his uncle’s close friend.
Whenever his uncle and Yecheng appeared together, Gao Qiu Jingwen would always unconsciously place himself in Yecheng’s role.
Don’t ask why; after all, Gao Qiu Jingwen is a young man. The uncle in the mini-theater, however, looks to be at least thirty years old, even at a conservative estimate...
Moreover, when watching an anime or PV, who wouldn’t like a character who is both strong and handsome? While the uncle in the video is indeed powerful, Yecheng is not only strong but also incredibly handsome!
Seeing that figure wielding a longsword, using elegant swordsmanship to slay various monsters, with a head of silver hair like the full moon and a handsome face, the sense of immersion naturally comes instantly!
“Yecheng hasn’t returned to the original world. According to him, it seems there’s no need to.
However, he did say that once he figures out how to create ‘Yi Hai’ (artificial limbs), he will come to our side to take a look.”
After a long time of research on the computer, his uncle finally looked up, using the modern knowledge he had gathered to start thinking about what kind of job he should find to earn money.
Because he had learned magic, his uncle’s mental strength was far superior to that of ordinary people, and his learning ability was also much stronger than before.
In just a few hours, he had absorbed most of the knowledge that had been missing in this world for seventeen years.
In today’s society, directly displaying magic in front of strangers is clearly not a good idea.
This is not the Otherworld; if he really did that, he would likely be taken away by some special agencies and subjected to all sorts of experiments.
Although his uncle felt that his strength was now sufficient to dominate everything in this world, since he had returned to the original world, he planned to abide by the rules here and live a normal life, otherwise, he would only cause trouble for his family.
After some online research, Dao Yangjie discovered the existence of a platform called Youguan (YouTube).
On this platform, everyone was talented, spoke eloquently, and his uncle even found fellow Sega enthusiasts.
It’s no longer 2017; seventeen years have passed, and Sega is now a shadow of its former self. Therefore, anyone who still maintains their initial passion for Sega, just like him, was naturally considered a kindred spirit by his uncle.
Because he got so engrossed in chatting with these people, when his uncle realized his original purpose, out of curiosity, he posted a thread asking:
"If I just returned from the Otherworld and learned magic, how can I earn money without causing trouble for my nephew and without drawing the attention of the authorities?"
Those who could chat with his uncle, a "Sega fan," were clearly middle-aged otakus.
The otaku community indeed had many talented individuals with vast imaginations, quickly coming up with numerous suggestions that made Uncle, who had been quite troubled, suddenly look enlightened.
Out of curiosity and concern that Uncle, who had been out of touch with society for a long time, might be deceived, Gao Qiu Jingwen also leaned over to see the answers given by those people online.
"Since you've already learned magic, you must be able to fly. Why not deliver food or packages? Fast speed without fuel costs, pure profit every day, making tens of thousands of yen a day should be no problem."
"Idiot, you've learned magic but want to deliver food? That's a lack of ambition. Flying around all day, do you think that's being discreet? Do you think you're Doraemon? In my opinion, it would be better to perform magic shows. Others perform with sleight of hand, but you have real magic. No expert can find your flaws. Who wouldn't become famous?"
"The idea of performing magic is good, but if you slip up, it will still be quite troublesome. I think it's best to shoot online videos. There are so many internet users now, there's no need to worry about income. If possible, shooting videos with Sega game backgrounds would be best, after all, we're all fanatics."
"Since you can do magic, why bother with work? Can you do duplication magic?..."
...
After reading through the comments online, Gao Qiu Jingwen was also stunned. It had to be said that the imagination of these people online was indeed vast.
Excluding the illegal suggestions, Gao Qiu Jingwen really found several suitable jobs for Uncle.
"So, Uncle, have you found a suitable job from these people's suggestions?"
Regarding Uncle's job, Gao Qiu Jingwen had thought he would have to rack his brains, but he didn't expect Uncle to solve the problem so quickly.
"Yes, I plan to become an online video UP main. As for the content, I'll edit some clips from my experiences in the other world. The Memory Sprite can handle this, so there's no need to worry. If conditions permit, I can also shoot videos with Sega game backgrounds, of course."
To be honest, when that fellow online suggested shooting videos with Sega game backgrounds, Shima Yousuke's eyes lit up, and he was ready to start this work.
Using magic to perform magic shows was a good idea, and making money would not be difficult after becoming famous.
However, the key issue was that Uncle did not like being in the spotlight, and live performances always had the risk of someone noticing something.
Who could guarantee that he was the only one in the world who could use magic?
But shooting and uploading online videos was different.
No matter how magical the content, people would only think it was a well-produced special effect. And through the screen, even if there were experts, they wouldn't be able to sense his magic.
It was a way to earn money steadily without exposing himself, indeed the most suitable job for him.
