Chapter 203: 181 Daydream, Destiny, and Silence (Requesting Monthly Pass)_2
Lottery clearly knew what Lin An wanted to ask and seriously explained, “People who are pulled into a white daydream don’t create witchcraft fluctuations, but as I pull more people in, the fluctuations from releasing this witchcraft grow stronger and easily draw the attention of Witch-hunting Knights.”
“Moreover, the farther the range, the stronger the fluctuations of the witchcraft.”
He looked at Lin An with a somewhat proud expression, “I’ve tried communicating with a net friend from abroad in a white daydream; he was on the other side of the planet.”
Lin An took a cool breath, not quite used to this mode of communication, and inadvertently let out an exclamation in the real world, “Global video conference?”
Pop~
The boundary between reality and white daydream was broken, and Lin An had left that white daydream.
Lottery explained somewhat embarrassingly, “I’ve tried it; people who enter a white daydream tend to leave my witchcraft easily once they become emotionally excited.”
“But one-on-one, the effect is still very good.”
Saying this, he raised his hand and gestured to Lin An. Seeing Lin An nod, he cast the spell again.
In an instant, Lin An found himself at the edge of a vast abyss, with the faint sound of beasts roaring from within.
Crucially, he felt none of the real world, as if he were trapped in a terrifying dream.
“This is the effect of a full-coverage witchcraft…” Lottery’s voice came from nearby, “During actual use, I found that partial coverage works best.”
As he spoke, Lin An’s view returned to the living room of the real-world house.
But now, several Lotteries had appeared around him.
Some squatting on top of the refrigerator looking down at them with a silly smile, some poking their heads around the corner of the living room, some crouched behind the couch, clawing at the edge and revealing a pair of eyes…
The most astonishing part was, the spot where the Lottery Wizard originally stood was now empty.
“!!!”
Lin An smacked his lips and looked at the Caidai Witch, “You know what I’m going to say?”
The Caidai Witch, holding his daughter on the side, chuckled happily, “I know, Lottery is more like an internet practitioner than we are, with ultra-long-distance real-time video calls, holographic emulation, augmented reality…”
“Awesome!” Lin An couldn’t help but give Lottery a thumbs up.
Lottery broke into a thrilled smile, “Great Commander, if you ever need me, please just say the word, I… I… will definitely accomplish the mission resolutely!”
His capabilities were obviously not limited to this, and Lin An’s increasingly handy brain had already started to fantasize about how useful this ability would be in combat.
Perhaps Lottery was holding back, or maybe he genuinely wanted to show Lin An the most useful abilities; Lin An didn’t dwell on the question.
The middle-aged man ‘Lottery’ stepped back, and the old man ‘Old Accountant’ began his own explanation.
Compared to Lottery, Old Accountant had a more respectable image. Even though he was carrying a soot pipe, combined with an embroidered silk Tang suit, he had the air of an elegant retired old man.
What he excelled in was…
“Curses and blessings.”
Frankly speaking, Lin An now deeply understood the saying that looks can be deceiving; a Tang suit-wearing sorcerer specializing in blessings…

Alright, he still found it hard to accept.
Old Accountant obviously came prepared, placing a mousetrap on the table and gesturing for Lin An to look at the mouse in the cage.
This mouse seemed to have thrived in the dilapidated building, not only was it quite large, but also glossy and sleek.
After being caught, it scampered vigorously within the cage, trying to find a way out.
“A person’s life is full of countless coincidences, which is both Destiny and the results of our own choices,” Old Accountant looked down at the mouse with a somber voice, “The first witchcraft I learned is called ‘Small Hand that Turns the Destiny Compass,’ which leads us into untimely coincidences.”
With that, he gently shook the soot pipe in his hand, and the little mouse suddenly tripped, catching on a protrusion of the iron cage and falling.
The cage shook with the impact and fell off the table.
Ironically, its little paw got stuck in a gap of the cage, getting twisted and breaking.
Old Accountant looked up at Lin An, “The more perilous, the more emotionally turbulent, the more clueless one is, the more useful my witchcraft becomes.”
As he said this, he shook the soot pipe again.
The mouse in the cage squealed in pain, frantically slamming against the bars until it flipped the cage over again.
Then the latch fell off, and with another strike, it actually ran out, swiftly scurrying towards the corner of the room, aiming to climb up through the piping to the ceiling.
Lin An frowned, “Don’t let it run around the house.”
Upon hearing this, the Lottery Wizard quickly extended his hand, gave it a slight wave, and his Daydream Sorcery was activated. The mouse shook its head, then, surprisingly, turned around and crawled back down the pipe, hurriedly running across the dining table and jumping into the trash can beside it.
The Lottery Wizard nodded at Lin An, “I’ll take it out and dispose of it later.”
Once he was finished, Mr. Liu continued, “Whenever you plan to take a risky move, please be sure to bring me along. Although I’m not good at fighting, I can bring you a wealth of good luck pieced together by coincidence.”
Lin An stared at him seriously and finally nodded slowly.
The sorcery that Mr. Liu excelled in didn’t appear as fancy as the lottery, but it was actually the ability Lin An valued the most.
When to take a risky move?
Oh~
Lin An recalled that he seemed to have always been taking such risks.
This ability to wield both luck and misfortune buffs was really too useful.
The last one to demonstrate was the Caidai Witch.
He seemed a bit embarrassed, looking at Lin An, “I’m honored that you think highly of me, but actually, I’m the weakest among us.”
Seeing Lin An’s curiosity, he laughed at himself a bit, “I’m a standard tech nerd majoring in science and engineering. It’s actually contrary to being a Wizard, a ‘profession’ that requires stirring up emotions.”
“I’ve always been more rational, and it’s hard for me to do something impulsive.”
Indeed.
But this made Lin An even more eager to see his best magical ability.
“My sorcery is called ‘Everyone, Stay Calm, Don’t Rush.'” Seeing Lin An’s curiosity, the Caidai Witch thought for a moment, “Shall I demonstrate it for everyone?”
Of course.
Then, he burst open suddenly, transforming into countless fluttering Caidai.
These Caidai seemed to pass between the realms of reality and illusion, turning into indistinct streams of light.
The streams of light flowed around the living room, seemingly not causing any change.
But it was precisely this lack of change that was the most terrifying.
Lin An felt carefully for a while and then slowly raised his hand, staring intently at his own fingernails.
Normally, this finger should follow his will, transforming from a human’s fingertip into a black cat’s claw.
But it didn’t!
Not only did it not, but he even felt as though his emotions had become incredibly vague, as if he could not muster any feelings at all, an emptiness within his heart as if even the ‘ambition’ that had been raging inside his chest had been extinguished in an instant.
It seemed that only his Innate Sorcery ‘Sky-Traveling Eye’ was unaffected.
However, the source of Innate Sorcery comes from the Sorcerer’s Bloodline, which is different from regular sorcery, and does not require the power of emotions.
The Caidai circled and danced before forming back into a human shape, looking at the others with diverse expressions, sighing, “If Wizards are unjust beings, then I’m the unjust being among Wizards.”
“My sorcery is better at calming everyone’s emotions, useful for Wizards but not much use against Witch-hunting Knights.”
Exclusively for Wizards!
It sounds…
Lin An raised an eyebrow; this technique seemed more suited to be a manager within a Witch Organization.
Of course, if it were used against Mr. Liu…
Or perhaps… against Chen Xinmi, who seemed to harbor hostility and was up to something unknown now!
Truly, looking at these three people, Lin An felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure. As the Silent Sorcery of the Caidai Witch dissipated, the ‘ambition’ reignited in his chest, and more and more ideas began emerging.
