Surviving in Fire Moth is easy; you just need to hide at the back.
But to stand out in Fire Moth, one must showcase talents that ordinary people cannot reach.
This was Vill-V's realization after spending some time in Fire Moth.
She is someone with a strong desire to perform, a desire that can be said to be for survival, or to attract the attention of the crowd.
But more than that, she wants to receive compliments and the astonished gazes of the audience.
Fire Moth is an organization that gathers geniuses.
If she can astonish these geniuses, that feeling would be incredible!
However, at the moment, she is not able to shock everyone, so she will start with these two who seem to have relatively average intelligence.
Kevin and Chen Ran exchanged glances and did not refuse Vill-V's invitation to watch her magic.
After all, life inside Fire Moth is mostly boring.
…
…
"Here it comes, here it comes! Although there are a few spectators, it won't dampen my passionate desire to perform."
Although Vill-V is not currently splitting her thoughts, she has developed a kind of semi-split personality, a genius in thinking, rich in the desire to perform.
For example, right now, Vill-V's personality has taken on the shape of a conductor.
Kevin seems a bit distracted.
Chen Ran half-jokingly said to Vill-V, "Regular magic tricks can't really attract us. If you could pull out this guy's crush, that reaction would leave you dumbfounded."
"Oh, a request from the audience already."
Vill-V was not fazed by Chen Ran's comment; she smiled, "In that case, as a magician, what do I have to be dissatisfied with?"
Then, she saw the girl smile mysteriously, take off her hat, and a small paper figure changed shape under the sunlight's refraction.
Kevin felt a bit dazed; it seemed he saw Mei's shadow.
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out, "What are you all doing?"
Mei had arrived without anyone noticing.
Chen Ran and Kevin were left speechless.
Vill-V playfully winked.
Clearly, she had done her homework on the two during this time, and Mei's arrival was evidently arranged by her.
Even if Chen Ran hadn't said it, she would have done something like this. Chen Ran's words just happened to elevate the magic effect.
If it weren't for the fact that she really had no one to rely on, she might even suspect that Chen Ran was her plant.
Seeing Mei, Kevin couldn't help but stutter.
It should be training time; Mei wouldn't think he was slacking off, would she?
The lovesick boy always feels insecure, while Chen Ran boldly greeted, "Watching a magic show, want to join?"
"Forget it, I'm not really interested in entertainment that takes a long time; at most, I just want to listen to some music."
She shook her head and said, "But…"
She looked at Vill-V and said, "The message I received was sent by you, right?"
Mei took out her phone, which had a text from an unknown number, instructing her to come here.
"Isn't it interesting?"
Vill-V's eyes sparkled with mischief as she said, "That dumbfounded, incredulous look just now is the best compliment for a magician."
Kevin sighed, "This should count as cheating."
Instead, Mei raised an eyebrow and said, "Magic creates surprises outside of logic using all abilities within logic, so it becomes boring once revealed. But cheating can't really be counted as such; after all, if it can elicit a reaction from the audience, that already counts as a success."
Vill-V couldn't help but applaud, "Well said! You expressed everything I wanted to say."
She put her hat back on and said, "Let me introduce myself, I am Vill-V, a magician aspiring to become the greatest performer in the world."
Chen Ran casually remarked, "Then you need to make the entire Mu Continent disappear."
"Ah, how did you know my plan?" Vill-V laughed, "When that happens, it will definitely be recorded in history as the greatest close-up magic."
Chen Ran believed that Vill-V really had the ability to do it.
Deceiving satellites probably wouldn't be a difficult task for her.
"Just don't make too much noise; Dr. Mobius isn't that kind-hearted." Chen Ran said casually.
Vill-V was brought to Fire Moth by Mobius from the thirteenth prison; Chen Ran, having gone through the storyline, naturally knew this.
Meanwhile, Mei ignored this and looked at Kevin, "If nothing's wrong, come walk with me; I need to clear my mind."
Kevin immediately followed her eagerly.
Chen Ran couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Kevin's personality is just like Kiana's, completely under her thumb.
Vill-V sighed as well.
She overlooked one thing: while Kevin is easy to fool, Mei is not so easily deceived.
So, her current goal was left with just one.
"Hey, want to see another magic trick?"
…
…
In the end, Chen Ran was dragged away by Vill-V to do some labor.
By the time he returned to the first research institute, he felt utterly exhausted.
"Chen Ran, Big Brother, you're here!"
Little Griseo, brought to the research institute by Blanca, greeted him cheerfully.
This future darling of Fire Moth's heroes is only six years old this year, the age when she should be receiving an education. However, due to the special nature of Fire Moth, with her parents inside Fire Moth, she naturally wouldn't have a life like an ordinary person.
However, because Griseo is just too adorable, even Mobius treats her kindly.
Thus, Mobius took it upon herself to become Griseo's biology teacher.
Although a six-year-old child doesn't really need biology lessons.
Blanca rarely brought her daughter here, but during this time, her husband Ato was on a mission, so she had to bring her daughter along.
"Yes, Little Griseo." Chen Ran said, "Is it fun staying in the lab?"
"Teacher Mobius read me storybooks; it was really fun." Griseo sweetly replied, "She also taught me how to paint with colors."
Chen Ran noticed that Griseo's hands already had traces of paint.
For her, who rarely has peers, painting and storybooks are indeed the best ways to alleviate loneliness.
Griseo is often lonely; otherwise, she wouldn't rely so much on Kosma, who is more like a peer.
He smiled and said, "I have a little magic trick here; do you want to see it, Little Griseo?"
He paused, casually picked up a piece of paper from the lab.
Then, the boy manipulated the wind to lift the paper.
"Wow."
Little Griseo's eyes widened, "So amazing."
"Is there more? Is there more?"
"Of course there is." Chen Ran skillfully controlled the wind in his hands and then blew up her long hair.
Just like a mother caressing her cheek, Little Griseo's eyes immediately squinted, lost in delight.
