I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 756 - 514 Drawing_2
He took a deep breath, gripping a corner of the cloth and gently shaking it up and down, as if pumping a bellows.
The surrounding crowd stared, wide-eyed, unwilling to even blink for fear of missing a single incredible detail. Everyone knew that Xia Liang was about to perform real magic!
Liu Tongtong's camera was also focused on Xia Liang, allowing the tens of thousands of netizens in the livestream to witness his wonders firsthand. Some people even took notes on the frequency he shook the cloth, watching his every move and trying to decipher his magic.
Online and on the ground, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on Xia Liang, watching his every move, waiting to see him create another miracle.
Soon, as Xia Liang continued to shake it, the cloth began to swell as if something inside was coming to life, and looks of amazement appeared on everyone's faces.
After a moment, the cloth was fully stretched out, reaching a height of three meters and a length of five to six meters. Through the silhouette displayed on the fabric, the crowd could faintly make out the shape of an Immortal Crane.
Xia Liang didn't keep the crowd waiting. He signaled for the firefighters to let go, then abruptly yanked the cloth away. Instantly, a marble Immortal Crane appeared before everyone. The crane stood quietly in place, not like a living creature, but the immortal energy it emanated still made the onlookers gasp in awe.
"Holy shit, this is unbelievable! The drawn crane actually came to life! It's even more realistic than those carved by master sculptors."
"Look at the indentation on the park ground! It perfectly matches the crane's feet. That's freaking incredible!"
"It's a shame it's not alive. I wonder how this thing God Xia summoned can help rescue Zhan Le?"
"Is he planning to ride this stone to save Zhan Le? That's just too unrealistic!"
...
Online and offline, everyone who saw the Immortal Crane materialized by Xia Liang was utterly shocked. They had never seen such an incredible magic trick performed right before their eyes without a single discernible flaw. Soon, however, their shock turned to confusion, as the crane appeared to be an inanimate object.
This would be completely useless in rescuing Zhan Le.
However, Xia Liang ignored the crowd. He took out a kite string, fashioned a rein around the crane's neck, then turned to Xu Lan and the fire chief.
"Are you two afraid?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Xu Lan and the fire chief instinctively assumed Xia Liang was about to ask them to do something dangerous. They both hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads.
Xu Lan then added, "However, I don't agree with meaningless sacrifice."
Xia Liang smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourselves."
He then pointed at the Immortal Crane with a grin.
"Get on. Both of you, lie flat on its back and grab the handrails I've drawn there. Don't let go, no matter what happens. Can you do that?"
Xu Lan and the fire chief nodded quickly. "Yes."
Xia Liang added, "Oh, and bring the rescue equipment. We might need it."
Hearing this, Xu Lan and the fire chief finally understood. Xia Liang was planning to take them to find Zhan Le.
Their hearts filled with excitement and anticipation, they took the medical kit and rescue tools from their subordinates, climbed onto the Immortal Crane's back, and gripped the handrails tightly.
Then, Xia Liang leaped onto the crane's back himself. He grabbed the rein around its neck with his left hand and looked at the medical staff.
"You can all head back to the hospital and prepare to receive the patient. If there's still any hope of treating Zhan Le, don't waste a single second. If not, then just ignore what I said."
The medical personnel nodded quickly but remained rooted to the spot. They wanted to see how Xia Liang would depart. After all, a miracle like this wasn't something you see every day. If they missed it now, they might never get another chance.
Even the surrounding crowd stared eagerly at Xia Liang, wanting to see what miracle he would perform next. Through Liu Tongtong's livestream, the online audience was also watching Xia Liang's every move. Online and off, tens of thousands of people had practically stopped everything they were doing to watch him, eager to see how he would continue to create miracles with magic.
Xia Liang understood what they were all thinking. He gave a faint smile and took out the Magic Paintbrush awarded to him by the Mission System during his last mission. He gently dabbed it on the Immortal Crane's eyes twice.
He then put the brush away and took out his phone to pull up the navigation to Zhan Le's home. Ma Ying had already given him the address.
Just as Xia Liang finished, the Immortal Crane beneath him began to stir.
First, its slender neck stretched gently, swaying from side to side. Then, its two legs took a few steps forward and back, followed by its wings and the rest of its body. It was as if it had just received life and was getting acquainted with its new form.
The surrounding crowd was already dumbstruck by the scene before them.
The Immortal Crane was actually alive!
This wasn't an illusion!
A Stone Crane, brought forth from nothing, was moving. It had gained life, immortal energy, and Spiritual Energy. Was this magic? It was simply miraculous!
Everyone present stared blankly at the elegant crane stretching its body, their faces a mask of stunned amazement. It was the same for everyone watching online and offline. They were all completely thunderstruck by the living Stone Crane.
Then, Xia Liang reached out and gently patted the crane's neck twice with a laugh.
"Time to go. Stop showing off!"
As if it understood his words, the Immortal Crane beneath him raised its head and let out a clear, resonant cry. It flapped its wings, took a quick running start, and soared into the air. Under Xia Liang's control, it flew off toward the southeast.
In a matter of seconds, Xia Liang and the Immortal Crane vanished from sight, becoming a tiny black dot in the sky.
A sudden burst of applause erupted from a single person, and then the entire park plaza thundered with enthusiastic clapping.
It was only after Xia Liang disappeared that the crowd finally snapped back to reality, letting out long breaths, their faces still etched with lingering shock and awe.
"That was freaking incredible! That wasn't a magic trick, that was real magic! A Stone Crane actually came to life! I've never seen anything like it in my entire life!"
"You're right! It was literally like he was casting a spell. I've never seen any magician with skills that amazing!"
"Heh, what about God Xia just now? I've heard it said that stage magic taken to its extreme is true magic!"
"It's just miraculous! It's almost like the flying wooden birds that Lu Ban built."
"This means Zhan Le can be saved!"
...
After watching Xia Liang and their emergency medical director leave, the medical team escorted Ma Ying back to the ambulance and sped off toward the hospital.
Only the firefighters remained, standing there at a loss. Their duty was to save people, but their captain had already left with the tools, following God Xia. It was obvious they were no longer needed.
But they couldn't just accept it. They finally get a call, and they're supposed to go back having done nothing? They'd be ridiculed by their comrades!
"What now? Should we head back to the station?"
"Go back for what? Our captain is on a rescue mission. Are we just going to leave him on his own?"
"Right, right! Let's go! To the hospital! We'll wait for the captain there!"
Having quickly reached an agreement, they all piled into their vehicle and drove toward the hospital. In truth, they all just wanted another look at Xia Liang's Immortal Crane and witness his magic again, but they were all tactful enough not to say it out loud.
Meanwhile, in Liu Tongtong's livestream, the chat was exploding. Everyone was finally recovering from the shock, and they were all desperate to share their excitement online before the feeling completely overwhelmed them.
