A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"Please turn around, little sir."

The beautiful seamstress said softly, and Charlie, who was already blushing, could finally turn around and face her back.

Levi chuckled from behind. Of course he knew the reason for Charlie's shyness. The tailor lady was wearing a bold low-cut skirt. From Charlie's perspective, she could see a fascinating ravine.

After a few minutes, the measuring session was finally over. The seamstress let go of Charlie, stood up, looked at Levi, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Hank's figure has been measured. Do you want to choose a suit with the right size now, or customize a suit?"

"How long will it take to customize it?" Levi asked, "Charlie can wear this suit in two days."

"Soon, you can come and pick it up tomorrow." Miss Seamstress said, "We cooperate with Huck Middle School, and there are always semi-finished fabrics in the store."

"Okay." Levi smiled and nodded, "We want two sets... after all, we need to change."

The final price was 7 Philippine dollars, and the kind-hearted seamstress wiped off some change for the two of them.

After Li Wei saluted, he agreed to pick up his school uniform at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and then the two of them left the tailor shop.

"I still think you are too kind to me, sir."

Walking on the street, Charlie spoke.

“Is this really what an investor would do to an investee?”

Levi didn't look at him, just stared straight ahead silently.

"You always do, Charlie. You don't have to feel stuck in this problem all the time. If you feel short-changed or deserved, just accept the guilt."

"I know it's a weird thing to say, but guess what I want from you right now, right now?"

Charlie lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head.

"Is it...loyal?"

"Yes, this word is very accurate. Where did you hear it?" Levi asked

"The Brothers Karamazov."

"This is not a good children's book." Levi shook his head and continued, "You are right, I hope you can be loyal to me and will not take the money and run away. Only poor old Li who was taken advantage of is so poor that he opens a chop shop. shop to make a living.”

"How could it be, sir..."

"Shh, listen to me. Because of this, the more you feel you deserve it, the more you prove your loyalty and kindness, and this is what I want to see most, do you understand?"

Charlie followed, thought about it again, and then continued.

"I feel like you are not just answering my questions, are you teaching me something?"

"Maybe, don't get stuck in this matter, study hard after school starts." Levi said with a smile.

"Then where are we going now?"

"Flower shop, I remember there should be one here..."

……

Mistletoe has a strong symbolic meaning in the Western world. It is said that when a couple kisses while standing under the mistletoe, their fates are destined to be linked. It’s a Hamptons tradition, but it was also brought to Phoenix with immigrants.

Anyway, you can buy mistletoe in flower shops, and it's very cheap, you can get a big handful for 12 cents.

However, once the mistletoe is placed in the space, it will suddenly lose its vitality, so Levi can only hold it.

They then went to the record store and then to the pier, where there were many fishing boats floating on the sea, many of them rusty.

But there wasn’t enough space to fit a whole boat, so they just got an anchor at a low price.

After one lap, Charlie was so tired that he sat on the bench and didn't want to move.

Levi opened a bottle of Coca-Cola and handed it to him, and the two sat on the bench and clinked the glasses.

"Finally finished shopping..." Levi took a sip and burped.

"Yeah..." Charlie sighed, and then took a sip, "But today is really worth it for me. Going to school, shopping, buying school bags and custom-made school uniforms, drinking Coke, I couldn't even think about it before... This morning I’m still selling newspapers in my old clothes.”

"This is the power of money, kid." Levi looked up and said, "You want your mother to live this kind of life, and if possible, cheer up your father."

Charlie said nothing and nodded.

"By the way, do you want me to give you something?" Levi asked.

"What?" Charlie asked.

"A magical gadget... a wind chime." Levi said, calling out the system panel.

[Cultivated: Spiritual Salt*1]

[Retrieve: Inaudible Wind Chimes]

[Searching for available materials...]

[Space materials retrieved: spiritual salt*1, sufficient silver, vinyl record*1]

[Can be obtained from the environment: Mistletoe Vine]

[Is it refined? 】

"confirm."

The materials in the space were crushed and fused together, and a small silver wind chime slowly took shape in Levi's hands.

Levi lifted it up and took a look. A silver bell like a jellyfish was connected to a thin vine.

"You can try it on." Levi handed the wind chime to Charlie.

"This is... your magical prop?" The latter took it and was thinking about how to bring it with him when he saw a magical scene.

The vines on the wind chime seemed to be alive, swaying slightly, and then wrapped around Charlie's belt.

"It seems like you've put it on." Levi said, "How do you feel?"

Then he saw Charlie's mouth opening and closing, but only the shape of his mouth, and the sound completely disappeared, as if the mute button had been pressed.

It seems to be effective... Levi thought so, and then saw that Charlie seemed to be thinking for a while and finally made a sound.

"Huh, it seems to have eliminated my voice." Charlie breathed a sigh of relief, "I almost thought I was mute, but fortunately it seems to be able to adjust to my will."

Levi nodded and thought about it.

"Try taking two steps? First silence, then turn on the sound."

After Charlie did this, he was indeed in a silenced state. No matter what he did, even if he hit the street light with a stick, there would be no sound, but throwing stones would make a sound.

He switched back to normal mode and walked back, the sound of wind chimes and footsteps could be heard together.

"Hmm..." Levi thought for a moment, then pointed.

"Can you turn off the wind chime?"

"I... try?" Charlie said unsurely.

He put his hand on the wind chime and felt it. Sure enough, the light on the wind chime dimmed and the sound stopped ringing.

After the test was completed, Levi nodded with satisfaction.

After all, he couldn't always follow Charlie, so Levi felt it was necessary to give Charlie some means of self-defense.

The paralyzing agent is too dangerous, and other weapons are too conspicuous. This wind chime like a talisman is more suitable - it can silence Charlie's voice, which makes it easy to escape or hide.

He then told Charlie twice to pay attention to his surroundings. Saint Francis was not peaceful at this time.

As for school, be especially wary of the golden retriever guy who likes to play football and has a cheerleading girlfriend, and watch out for the school lockers.

This is a Filipino school bully four-piece set.

Charlie didn't know why and nodded blankly.

"Okay... let's go back. Can I rent a car to take you home?" Levi drank the Coke in one gulp, stood up and asked.

"But... I still want to buy something." Charlie hesitated and said.

"What?" Levi asked curiously.

"Buy a cake for my mother. She hasn't had this for a long time." Charlie said with some embarrassment, "Of course, it doesn't use your money. Didn't you give me 30 Philippine dollars before? I never had the chance to spend it... "

"Ha, there's nothing wrong with that." Levi smiled, "Let's go."
