"Ah!" the girl exclaimed, looking at the quiet girl over there. She suddenly felt her cheeks burning hot, and instinctively reached out to cover her face, shouting in shame and anger: "You guys... aren't you... aren't you in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

It was because this girl, who had been quietly filming on the side, was so silent before and seemed completely indifferent to what happened to the guy, that they were sure it wasn't that kind of relationship. Otherwise, they wouldn't have acted so boldly.

After all, logically speaking, when a boyfriend is entangled with another woman, the girl's reaction could be many things: pretending to be angry, threatening with meaningful glances, or something else... but at least there would be some reaction, right? Where would you find someone acting so—

calm, as if completely unconcerned, which easily leads to misunderstandings.

"Not a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but her family seems interested in setting up this match..." Gu Mo said, half-truthfully.

Not a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so are they preparing to get married...

No wonder they are so confident. It must be because they feel there's nothing to fear, so they are just watching their joke...

The girl suddenly felt even more ashamed and angry. She quickly turned around, covered her face, and walked away, while her two companions looked on with regret. It seems good-looking people only find other good-looking people, leaving no room for ordinary folks to even have thoughts. They were pre-booked so early... They looked wistfully at the air over there, wishing they were the ones standing there.

But since their companion had turned and run away, they couldn't stay here any longer. Moreover, the rejection from the other party was very clear. No matter how reluctant they were, there was nothing they could do.

"A bad start... thought it would be a good beginning."

Gu Mo watched the backs of the three girls, tilted his head, and tapped his forehead.

No one was paying attention to his street magic, not even the excuse he made up about filming a show had any presence at all... It seems he needs to slightly change his approach, like maybe finding some men to cooperate, or couples to work with?

Because single girls often come in groups, being overly bold, their minds full of teasing him, completely ignoring his efforts—he's obviously relying on talent, not just good looks to coast through life!

Firm in this belief, Gu Mo turned and continued walking down the street ahead.

The night was still long.

...

...

He then tried approaching a few more people, but Gu Mo's street magic show still went unsuccessfully.

The hurried men were either too vigilant or seemed to have something urgent to do, quickly waving him off without listening to what he had to say and swiftly walked past. As for approaching couples, that didn't go particularly smoothly either; some men even suspected this pretty boy was trying to flirt with their girlfriends, almost getting upset.

"What is with these people... humans really can't understand each other..."

Gu Mo came with high spirits, but it seemed he would leave disappointed, walking sulkily into a less busy supermarket, isolating himself in a corner to start testing on his own.

Originally, he intended to have some fun while testing his new skills, and figured he might as well perform a magic trick for everyone, finding more joy in sharing than keeping the fun to himself. But while imagination is beautiful, reality isn't as ideal, so he could only entertain himself alone. It's all the same thing, just without an audience marveling and applauding.

"Everyday objects are quite easy... primarily because there's no need for complex structures and principles."

In the supermarket, he stood in front of a shelf, pinching his chin as he examined the printed blankets arranged there, then extending his hands into the air with a light shake. A seemingly identical printed blanket appeared in his hands, feeling soft and a bit warm.

During its sustained time, it should function normally.

He also tried projecting everyday items like knives, fishing rods, and buckets, all without any issues.

Especially when there was a reference item in front to observe, the replication was almost identical, except for the limited duration. Without continued energy replenishment, they'd dissipate into nothing when time's up, even he was finding it hard to distinguish the fake from the real.

He also tried moving away, no longer looking at the reference items on the shelf, instead relying purely on his memory and mental impressions.

This time, there were slight differences, indicating that our familiarity with many things includes a significant amount of mental completion. When some details aren't completely remembered, our subconscious fills in based on general impressions, which might not necessarily be accurate.

"Looks like I need to specifically train my imagination and memory..."

Gu Mo hung the towel he'd just projected back onto the shelf, thoughtfully contemplating.

Unlike the knives and buckets from before, which had simple materials and structures, more complex items are difficult to project solely through imagination. Forcing it results only in an empty shell.
