There was a Taoist priest standing at the entrance of the cram school, and workers next to him were tearing down the vertical stripes on the wall that read "Help your son make it to the dragon gate."
There were several ready-made promotional signs placed at the workers' feet, on which were written words like "Victoria Harbour Feng Shui Master speaks out", "12 great masters jointly print exercise instructions as teaching materials", and so on.
Masha then noticed that the flower shop next to the cram school had added a small shelf outside the door, and the owner of the florist, who was quite good-looking, was placing small flower pots on the shelf.
The text on the shelf reads: "The latest arrival of ginseng seedlings, gathering spiritual energy to help your child build a successful foundation"
——What the hell? Why didn’t I know that I could build a foundation?
This scene looks really magical.
No, the world where spiritual energy is revived is a magical world, and magic is normal.
The old lady was obviously a chatterbox. When Masha didn't say anything, she continued to chatter: "Nowadays, some extreme parents don't let their children go to school anymore. They start sending their children to the mountains. Some private schools have started teaching Chinese classics. Who would want to go to college if they have super powers? A few days ago, my family saw someone flying in the sky. If he can fly, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to college."
After the old lady finished speaking, Masha saw an aunt leading a child out of the bookstore, holding "Quick Reading of the I Ching" and "Let Your Children Learn to Make Dharma Seals as Quickly as Possible" in their hands.
——Oh my god, these unscrupulous businessmen are too fast, aren’t they?
——No, that quick reading of the I Ching may have been published a long time ago, but this quick seal-making book was probably prepared before the announcement of the revival of spiritual energy, and was put on sale as soon as the news was announced! Otherwise, how could it be put on the shelves in just a few days?
——Obviously there was a group of businessmen who had heard about it long ago and made preparations in advance.
——Maybe Cai Shi’s father also got a piece of the pie.
At this time, the aunt saw Masha. She was stunned for a moment and pointed at Masha: "You are...are...uh..."
"Masha."
"Lin Qianxun." Qianxun followed Masha and introduced herself.
This scene reminds people of the self-introduction of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu when they first fought against the Fire Cloud Evil God in "Kung Fu".
The book in the aunt's hand fell to the ground with a bang.
Then she pulled the child forward and said, "Master, please touch my son's head!"
Masha: "Auntie, I don't know what you saw. Aura can be studied scientifically. It is just a natural phenomenon. There is no evidence that an SSS-level superpower like me can awaken your son by touching his head."
The aunt took out her phone and opened Weibo: "But look at the headlines of the hot searches now. You gave an apple to a child before, and now he has awakened!"
Masha was shocked. Is this true?
He leaned closer to his aunt's phone and saw that the hot search headline on Weibo was indeed "An apple leads to awakening."
Clicking on this one, I saw in the top news that Masha actually had an impression of the awakened child - he did give him an apple that increased intelligence.
——What the hell?
——Is there really such a function?
Masha immediately took out her cell phone and called Qi Xiangwen: "Director Qi, I want all the children who ate my apples to be arrested and observed immediately. What do you mean you have already done it? OK, remember to give me a copy of the inspection report every day."
——But it still feels like a coincidence.
——If you can awaken with just an apple, then what is the use of my magic weapon? Nuwa will not do such useless work.
Masha felt that since his superior intelligence had already made a judgment, the truth should be similar. But just in case, he still had to observe the conditions of all the children who had eaten the apple.
Masha hung up the phone and said to the aunt in front of him, "Aunt, we need to study what happened. I think it is most likely a coincidence."
"I know that apple must be very valuable," the aunt said, and she knelt down in front of Masha. "Please touch my child's head. Just once."
Masha touched the head of the not-so-cute little boy helplessly.
Seeing this, Chihiro also came up and touched it.
"Hurry up!" Masha gave Chihiro a wink.
However, the parents and children in the bookstore had already rushed out.
"It's him, for sure! Master, please touch my child's head too!"
"Give me apples, I'll buy them no matter how much they cost!"
"Master, Master!"
Cai Shi suddenly roared: "How outrageous!"
Then she made all the tungsten cores she carried with her fly up, float in the air, and line up in rows at one-meter intervals to block the people who were about to rush up.
"How can you just approach the master casually?" Cai Shi looked very dignified - just a little short.
It seems that she has made up her mind to play the role of Masha's sword-bearing bodyguard. After all, this is basically the task assigned to her these days, and it is often snatched away by Chihiro and the league secretary.
Most of the parents who came out were seeing superpowers up close for the first time. Cai Shi’s aura was so strong that they were stunned and didn’t dare to breathe.
Facing the crowd that suddenly quieted down, Masha said, "I understand everyone's feelings, but the resurgence of spiritual energy is a natural phenomenon that can be studied scientifically. We are trying to figure out what happened to the earth and what will happen in the future. Please don't believe the rumors on the Internet. Also, you are blocking my way, can you please make way?"
People hurried to make way for Masha.
So Masha and others entered the bookstore under the protection of Cai Shi's tungsten core.
Masha: "Shopkeeper, give me a set of elementary school Olympic mathematics textbooks."
The clerk was embarrassed: "Uh, we just cleared out all the stock."
The old lady who collected waste paper shouted, "Here I am, here I am!"
Masha turned around and said, "Okay, give me a set."
**
After Masha finished shopping and left, the old lady who collected waste paper sat down on her cart, with all the Olympic Mathematics textbooks under her.
"I'm warning you! If you hit an old man, you'll hurt your fortune and you won't be able to awaken! That's what the master just told me!" She shouted, "Olympic Mathematics textbook, problem set, 500 yuan a copy!"
"I'll buy it!" The fat man closest to the old lady waved his phone, "I'll give you 10,000 yuan, buy as many as you can!"
While everyone was scrambling to get the Olympic question sets, the owner of a cram school across the street who had heard the news came over and saw what was happening. He took a marker and wrote the words “Olympic Mathematics Cultivation” in large letters, then BIA’d them on the glass.

Chapter 481 Welcoming Master Ma (Fourth Update)
When Masha arrived at the Fujian restaurant where he had made a reservation, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The red carpet, the neatly lined up waiters, even the kitchen's master chefs, junior chefs, and apprentices all came out and stood in a square formation.
The man, who might be the restaurant owner, was dressed in a suit and tie, standing in front of the crowd, with his hands crossed over his abdomen, holding up his shirt hem, and looking at Masha respectfully.
Masha: “What are you doing?”
"All the staff of Nature Fujian Restaurant welcome Master Ma!"
As soon as the boss finished speaking, someone started beating a gong. Masha then saw the band that was blocked by the employees. Then a lion dance appeared in Masha's sight.
Masha: "What are you doing?"
"Of course, I ask the master to bless our store."
"No, who told you that I am Master Ma's?" Masha was very curious. When he made the reservation, he only said Mr. Ma, not Masha.
The boss showed a meaningful smile: "My restaurant is very famous. Many celebrities from the business and entertainment circles have come to eat here. Even Gu Tianluo has been here."
Masha thought, if Hu Jianren said that ordinary people would also call Louis Koo "Louis Koo"?
"Come on, Master Ma, please come in, please come in, the hall is reserved today, it's my treat!"
Before Masha could say anything, Baiquan spoke first: "Okay, give me one serving of each of the dishes you have here. I want to try a bite of each."
"No problem!" The boss glanced at the girl.
Masha guessed that the boss must have made some calculations in his mind immediately, and then concluded that the girl had a very high status in Masha's side.
Baiquan's arrogant look, coupled with her position firmly occupying Masha's left hand side, according to social tradition, the boss's current judgment of Masha and his group's status is probably that Masha is greater than Chihiro and greater than Baiquan.
Bai Quan added: "There is also Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Today, Brother Ma invited me to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I even went to see the God of Cookery to learn what Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is."
——Wait, is it enough to know about Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and watch the Cooking Master Boy?
The boss smiled and said, "So you are the eldest lady. I am so sorry for the inconvenience! Of course we have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! And it is the authentic first-class Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
——Well, the boss thinks she is my sister.
——Forget it, I am too lazy to explain, so let it be. Seeing the little girl being praised is also happy, and everything is good in the end.
The boss then said, "By the way, our store just bought a new statue of the God of Wealth. Can we ask a master to bless it?"
"I don't have that kind of power. Boss, you've been in contact with so many business people, so you should have heard about it, right?"
The boss smiled and said, "Of course, of course. But if I put the God of Wealth that you blessed in my shop and hang up your photo of blessing, my shop will immediately have a booming business. People coming here to burn incense will break through my doorstep."
Masha laughed: "You know how to do business. So, may I ask, what's your name?"
——That’s right, before I recognized you, I wasn’t even interested in knowing your last name. Now, you are qualified to sign up!
The boss was also quick and handed over his business card immediately: "My surname is Chen, and I’m from Huzhou."
"Boss Chen, where is the God of Wealth? Let me bless him." said Masha.
**
After Masha pretended to make a scene, the group finally sat down. The secretary of the Youth League looked at Masha from across Qianxun and whispered, "From now on, the God of Wealth will not only attract pilgrims, but will also have a deterrent effect. From now on, this is your Ma family's shop. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"Don't worry, the office will take care of it." Masha shrugged.
At this time, Boss Chen came over again and asked quietly, "Excuse me, can we serve the food now?"
Baiquan, who was sitting next to Masha, knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks: "Serve the food! Serve the food!"
Xiao Shi grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Don't knock on the bowl! It's rude and against the rules!"
Baiquan pouted, but still stopped obediently.
Boss Chen seemed to have realized something from this, and immediately winked at the lobby manager beside him. The manager ran away immediately.
Masha could see it clearly, but he couldn't guess where the lobby manager was doing.
The boss asked again: "Master Ma, can you serve the food?"
"Okay!" Masha nodded.
"Serve the food!" Boss Chen said with full energy, and the door leading to the kitchen on the side of the hall opened, and a row of waiters came out with plates.
The first wave of waiters brought tableware. They came one by one and placed the tableware on Masha and the others.
Masha noticed that her plate had a dragon pattern on the bottom, Chihiro, Hakuizumi and Xiaoshi's plates had phoenix patterns, and the other girls' plates had various bird patterns.
——Okay, I just went to change the plate for Xiao Shi.
——However, if Boss Chen thinks Bai Quan is my sister, then the phoenix pattern should not be applied to her.
——Does Boss Chen think Bai Quan is also my harem?
——Although it is true, but, does he misunderstand me?
——I’m not a lolita complex!
The tableware was set, and a new wave of waiters came up with teapots and jugs of water for washing the dishes.
Baiquan: "Has the food not been served yet? My stomach is growling with hunger."
After saying this she cooed twice.
Masha smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is a necessary ritual, just like you Japanese people have to take a big bite before eating."
"Oh." Baiquan pouted and imitated Masha to use tea water to wash dishes, chopsticks and spoons, and then pour the water into the tub.
Then, a spectacular scene appeared: a long line of waiters, each holding a dish, walked along in a long queue.
Every time a dish is served, Boss Chen will personally announce the name of the dish.
Masha has been to restaurants quite a few times, but this is the first time he has seen the boss personally come to announce the names of the dishes.
Bai Quan was holding the chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up the food. She kept looking at Boss Chen who was announcing the names of the dishes, as if she thought she couldn't pick up the food until Boss Chen finished announcing the names of the dishes.
Masha picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of lychee flesh, and put it into the bowl in front of the little girl: "Eat it! It's okay."
The little girl happily picked up her chopsticks.
