After picking out two dresses for Yao`er, Mia still didn’t purchase one for herself. Rather, she also picked two sets of clothes for Xu Mo.
Although Mia secretly paid, this couldn’t be hidden from Xu Mo. Mia had bought two sets of clothes each for him and Yao`er and spent a total of 145 federal coins. Even to Mia, this was a very huge sum of expenditure. Xu Mo could even feel the heartache Mia felt when she paid the bill. However, she didn’t hesitate, yet she felt reluctant to buy one for herself.
After the shopping for clothes was done, the group of them continued on their way.
When on the carriage, Elsa felt contempt when she saw how happy Mia looked.
“Elsa, isn’t that the City-state Theater? Have you been there before?” Mia pointed to a building some distance away as she asked.
“Yup,” Elsa answered grumpily, not as passionate as earlier. She felt quite angry now. Mia didn’t buy anything for herself on the trip to Fragrance Street, yet she spent so much for others.
However, this was Mia’s own business. It wasn’t appropriate for Elsa to say anything. It was just that she couldn’t understand Mia’s behavior no matter how she thought.
“I heard that a single ticket would cost tens of federal coins. If we have the opportunity, we definitely must go there and watch a show,” Mia spoke with some yearning in her voice. When Elsa heard her words, she couldn’t help but feel depressed. She then replied with some unhappiness, “The money you spent earlier could have bought you quite a few tickets.”
“That’s different.” Mia laughed. Although she felt heartache for the money spent, she was still happy.
Xu Mo felt that if Mia existed in his precious words, she would be the type of girl who was called ‘love-brain’. These girls were very silly and were willing to pay for everything for the other party. She would surely suffer a disadvantage easily.
In truth, he was the same as Elsa and disapproved of Mia’s behavior. It was just that in this barbaric Subterranean World, this act of kindness was truly extremely precious.
“Miss Mia, what is that place?” Xu Mo glanced at a huge circular building in the distance that needed one to climb very high up. Even from very far away, one could still see how majestic it looked.
“That’s the center of the city, the stadium,” Mia replied. “However, I don’t like that place.”
“I don’t like it either. However, it is the most popular location in the city.” Elsa glanced over and spoke.
“A stadium.” Xu Mo muttered in a low voice. Was this like the stadium where football matches were played in his previous world?
The carriage drove through a public square and turned into another street. This street was slightly narrower and was filled with pedestrians.
“There are so many people there.” Mia glanced at the side of the street ahead. A group of people was standing there, and they almost fully blocked the path forward. If a carriage wanted to pass through, it would surely be extremely inconvenient.
“Cooper, drive slower,” Elsa spoke to her coachman. She then stood up and looked in the direction of the crowd.
“Mia, quickly look. It’s a magic performance.” Elsa stated with some surprise in her voice.
“Really?” Mia carried Yao`er and stood up. At this age, everyone would feel some curiosity about magic.

“Xu Mo, it’s really a magic performance. You should look too.” Mia lowered her head and spoke to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo wasn’t too interested. He knew that magic was merely sleight of hand techniques. In addition, after you watched those extremely mysterious magic performances, once the riddle was solved, you would instantly feel that your intelligence had been insulted.
However, Xu Mo also stood up and glanced at the crowd. He could see a small-scale performance place being surrounded by a crowd of people. This place was extended from the pavement by the side of the street. A magician was currently performing spitting fire, and he attracted many cheers and applause from the crowd.
“Elder brother, why can he spit fire?” Yao`er called out in excitement.
Xu Mo saw that before the magician swallowed the fire, he had already drunk a mouthful of liquid and sprayed it into the air. It should be some liquid that was similar to alcohol. As for the fire seed…Xu Mo seriously used his perception to check and there was a strange look on his face after that.
“Energy!”
His sharp senses could feel a strand of weak energy. When he was practicing his breathing art, he would often sense this. However, although the strand of energy was very weak, it was sufficient to start a fire. In addition to the alcohol, the magician could create a ‘magic trick’ of breathing fire.
“How did he do it?” Mia was also somewhat surprised.
The carriage then came to the outer perimeter of the crowd. At this moment, the magician’s assistants moved a large box over and placed it on the ground. A masked woman then entered, and the box was locked securely after that.
Xu Mo surveyed the magician. He was wearing a mask and didn’t speak. He had been using his body language to perform. Even his assistants had masks on their faces.
A moment later, when the box was opened again, it was completely empty. The surrounding crowd immediately burst into intense applause.
The magician then lifted his finger and pointed upward. As a result, the crowd lifted their heads and stared in the direction he was pointing at, only to see the woman who had gone inside the box waving her hands to greet everyone.
“How impressive.” Elsa sighed in admiration. Mia and Yao`er were also clapping happily.
Xu Mo saw through the masked face of the woman above. The mask was the same as the woman who had entered the box earlier. Even the clothing and the figure were similar. However, their facial features under the masks were different.
It was a different woman!

He knew that this type of magic trick was usually done through a hidden passageway that could be opened via a mechanism in the box. Yet, this magician actually used a body double, so this couldn’t be considered a complete magic trick. But even so, there would surely be a secret passageway under the box. The masked woman who had entered earlier must have fallen down. However, Xu Mo’s eyes couldn’t see through to the passageway inside the box.
One of the magician’s assistants spoke to the crowd, “Mister Magician wants to invite a few children to personally experience this magic performance. Are there any little friends who wish to experience this wonderful magic trick?”
There were plenty of parents who brought their kids along in the crowd. Some of them were excited and wanted to try.
“Mama, I want to try!” said a little girl.
“Me too!” Gradually, since someone had volunteered, eventually quite a few kids were sent over to the stage.
