I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 789 - 531 Creating Momentum

A Xia Liang Magic Research Center had even been established. This group of people had taken Xia Liang's latest magic trick to study it once more, but this time, the trick completely baffled them, leaving them at a loss. They had always believed that no matter how clever Xia Liang's magic was, there had to be a flaw.

「In Peng Changye's villa」

Peng Changye and his master, Willis, were sitting on the sofa, drinking together. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Xia Liang is not an easy man to deal with," Willis said with a sigh, swirling the wine in his glass. "This one magic show of his has completely opened up the global market, letting everyone in the world witness his methods."

"Changye, the odds of you winning the magic competition against him are very low."

They had previously thought they could defeat Xia Liang in a grand-scale magic show, but now, that hope seemed far too elusive. This was because Xia Liang's "Wish Magic" was so flawless that it made people all over the world believe he had actually opened a gateway to another dimension.

It was utterly bizarre.

But to Peng Changye and his master, this was all just a performance Xia Liang had orchestrated with a few confederates. They refused to believe that such an otherworldly magic trick actually existed.

"Master, you have to find a way for us to win. Only then can we reap the greatest benefits," Peng Changye said through gritted teeth. "Xia Liang's reputation is sky-high right now; the whole world is calling him the God of Magic. And it is precisely by defeating him, while his reputation is at its peak, that we will win the world's applause."

He was already committed and couldn't back down now. The news about his magic showdown with Xia Liang had spread far and wide. If he were to withdraw at this point, Peng Changye would instantly become a global laughingstock. In the future, he could forget about easily making money on domestic shows; he probably wouldn't even be able to remain in the Magic Circle.

"Hmm, I understand. In fact, Xia Liang has made a foolish move. Although his magic has gained him worldwide fame, it has also brought disaster upon himself. First, there is the jealousy of his peers. The Magic Circle has never had anyone called the God of Magic before! Not even the legendary Mark or the other top magicians ever received such a title. Now that Xia Liang is being called the God of Magic, do you really think the other magicians will accept that quietly?

"This time, I will once again invite magicians from all over the world to gather in Qingyun City to confront this Xia Liang. Moreover, we will redesign the Water Tank Escape Magic you are about to compete with him in, multiplying its difficulty several times over," Willis continued, a cold gleam in his eyes.

In the days that followed, Xia Liang became an explosively popular star online. Weibo's hot search list was dominated by topics related to his magic. Because of the "Wish Magic," people once again realized just how incredible Xia Liang was. Even his previous magic acts were compiled and re-uploaded online. All the major influencers on Weibo also gave Xia Liang's magic high praise and positive reviews. Anchors of all sizes also joined the ranks of those promoting Xia Liang's magic. After all, at this point, anything related to Xia Liang meant traffic. Unless they were a fool, everyone knew what choice to make, as nobody turns their back on that much exposure.

Amidst this fervent, nationwide adoration, Peng Changye held another press conference.

At the press conference, Peng Changye faced the cameras and smiled. "Everyone knows that the Street Magician, Xia Liang, is now the talk of the town. It seems that whenever people mention Xia Liang, they're talking about his magic. In the Dragon Country, Xia Liang's name has seemingly become synonymous with magic itself. This is unfair to the Magic Circle. Magic has existed for hundreds of years, painstakingly developed step-by-step by countless predecessors; it is not the achievement of Xia Liang alone. His current title of God of Magic is disrespectful to everyone in the Magic Circle. Therefore, this time, we are issuing a challenge to him at the Qingyun City Sports Stadium. Over five hundred Magic Masters from around the world will be gathered there."

At this point, Peng Changye made a grand gesture.

"This is a feast of magic that the Magic Circle is presenting to a global audience, and it's scheduled for one week from now. Tickets will be available online! If you miss this one, who knows when the next chance will be. A battle between the strong is not to be missed. Xia Liang, we'll be waiting for you at the Qingyun City Sports Stadium!"

Peng Changye concluded the interview in a nearly provocative tone.

Instantly, this event, which the media dubbed the magic battle of the century, soared to the top of public discussion, eclipsing all other news. The usual celebrity gossip and scandals all vanished. Even a certain singer postponed their new album release to stay out of the spotlight.

Meanwhile, in a clubhouse in Qingyun City, the president of a popular video-streaming site was discussing business with a man in his fifties. If Peng Changye were there, he would have immediately recognized the man. It was Cao Jun, the director of the satellite TV channel that produced the show *Night of Magic*. He was also the biggest investor in the magic duel between Peng and Xia Liang.

"Director Cao, let's skip the pleasantries. We're all pressed for time, so I'll get straight to the point. I want you to transfer the hosting rights for this grand magic event to me. Name your price," the site's president said.
