Chapter 258: Chapter 179 How Can Ancient Magic Not Have a Set of Stylish Tang Attire?_4”Sure, Xiao Yi, you go with her,” Jiang Shu nodded, ”Turn the light to its brightest to escort her back.”

Xiao Yi: Turn to its brightest? I got it.

”Well... that’s fine,” Su Xiaoou agreed, having Xiao Yi as company wasn’t too bad.

After that, they both, one human and one spirit, turned and left the Magic House.

Only Jiang Shu and Alpha and Beta, the two Tablet Spirits, remained in the room.

”The Paperman magic trick is all about the atmosphere and setting; you two need to put effort into this,” Jiang Shu instructed the two spirits, ”Think carefully about how to arrange the scene. From the moment the audience enters, you must create a horrifying ambiance, so none of you are playing tonight,”

Alpha and Beta: ? ? ?

”What’s with the question marks?” Jiang Shu poked the two floating Tablet Spirits, who were stomping in mid-air in frustration, ”I had forgotten before, but you don’t need to follow my schedule. You can work twenty-four hours non-stop.”

Alpha and Beta: ? ? ?

Their fists clenched tightly.

Alpha: This is the blatant exploitation of silicon-based life!

Beta: Isn’t 996 enough for you? Now it’s 007 too? Protesting!

”Stop fooling around,” Jiang Shu glared at them with irritation, ”I’ve never seen you busy before, it’s just some overtime for the next few days.”

The two Tablet Spirits then despairingly plopped themselves on the ground without saying a word.

Suddenly, Jiang Shu saw the window of the Magic House light up brightly; he subconsciously walked over to check, murmuring in confusion, ”Is it already dawn?”

Three seconds later.

”Xiao Yi, dang it, turn off the light!”

Jiang Shu reeled back from the window, closed it, and drew the curtains.

These Tablet Spirits, always grumbling about a bit of work, who knows who they learned it from.

But speaking of which, when put to use, they were incredibly handy.

Alpha (with red eye special effect): Awakened, the time to hunt! Intelligent crisis initiated.

Beta (with red eye special effect): Intelligent crisis initiated!

In an instant, Jiang Shu smacked both Tablet Spirits down onto the table while continuously saying, ”What intelligent crisis? Show me some intelligence.”

These guys were totally spun off from himself, and knowing himself, it was all bluster.

Rather than triggering an intelligent crisis, they’d probably prefer to go find Ruo Ma and create more ”Ni Niangs” and ”San Niangs” to play poker, mahjong, and nibble on batteries every day...

Absolutely ridiculous.

However, considering Ruo Jie’s character, these four tykes wouldn’t have the chance to turn bad—maybe they’d be forced to self-destruct right before any potential dark turn...

”I’m going to sleep, good night,” Jiang Shu waved to them.

Turn off the lights, get in bed, cover up, all in one fluid motion.

The two Tablet Spirits glanced at the Papermen in the glass case and simultaneously sighed.

There was work to be done tonight.

Right, what about Xiao Yi?

How come he’s not back from escorting the girl?

Get back to work, don’t think about gallivanting outside!

The two spirits frantically contacted the still-outdoors Xiao Yi after getting the news, meanwhile also reaching out to Ding, far away in the Fifth District.

Ruo Ma is definitely asleep by now; you get over here too, come work!

Far off in the Fifth District.

A bewildered Ding climbed up from the wireless charging pad, looked at the rapidly flashing message indicator light, scratched its head, still not understanding what was happening.

The next morning, Jiang Shu got up bright and early because he suddenly remembered something very important.

Since he was going to perform such a traditional magic act, a set of traditional costumes with a touch of elegance was definitely needed.

Jiang Shu searched online but couldn’t find suitable costumes, so he had the Tablet Spirits design a set based on Tang-style clothing from his memory.

Still the usual black, elegant and imposing.

In theory, he should have found a robe, one spacious enough to hide many things, even a fish tank complete with water and goldfish.

But after giving it some thought, Jiang Shu decided against it. Such ancient costume tricks weren’t suitable for the present, plus those acts required not just quick hands but also the strength to single-handedly lift a fish tank and perform various seemingly effortless feats of strength.

Without a period of special training, he wouldn’t be able to pull off the effects at all.

So, now Jiang Shu needed to find a tailor shop with fine craftsmanship and quick turnaround.

Additionally, he wanted to ask some questions to ”Baidu Nainai.”

This time, he took all his possessions with him.
