Chapter 35: Hand of the Mage upgrade, invisible servant

“Fairy Mischief Silver Coin”

“Item Level: Intermediate Magic Artifact”

“Information: A special magic artifact gifted to a Magician by the Fairy race. It houses a wicked and cunning Fairy who knows everything in the world.”

“Effect 1: You can ask it 10 questions daily, and it will tell you the answer. Heads means yes, tails means no.”

“Effect 2: Guess heads or tails before tossing the coin high. Guessing correctly grants a luck bonus, while guessing incorrectly results in a Fairy’s mischief. Once per day.”

“When you over-rely on this magical coin to make decisions, you will be completely bewitched by the Fairy, and eventually, you will transform into an ugly Fairy.”

Lin Ye’s expression changed slightly as he looked at the description of the fairy silver coin in the illustrated guide.

“It clearly has two effects, so why did it only show one in the shop?”

“And what does that last sentence mean? This thing has side effects if used too much?”

Looking at the slightly crude Fairy on the reverse side of the coin, Lin Ye immediately decided that unless absolutely necessary, he would never use this thing to make decisions.

As for the second effect of this coin, it also had side effects. Although he didn’t know what the Fairy’s mischief would be like, it certainly wouldn’t be anything good.

He couldn’t guarantee he’d guess correctly every time; he didn’t have precognitive abilities.

“Wait! Precognitive abilities! If I let Black help me predict the outcome of the coin toss in advance, wouldn’t I be able to guess correctly 100% of the time?!”

A flash of inspiration in his mind instantly made Lin Ye’s eyes light up.

He immediately picked up Black, who was eating cat food.

“Black, help me predict what will happen to me in the next minute.”

As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, Black activated its ability, and at the same time, a scene appeared in his mind.

In the scene, he tossed the coin high, and when he finally moved his palm away, the front of the coin appeared.

“Nice!” Looking at the coin in the scene, Lin Ye quickly put Black back down, then placed the coin on his right thumb.

With a gentle flick of his thumb, the coin flew into the air, rapidly spinning.

Lin Ye looked up directly at the coin and quickly said in a deep voice:

“I guess it’s heads this time!”

After speaking, he stretched out his right hand towards where the coin was falling. After catching the coin, he slowly opened his palm.

The next second, the side of the coin with the magic runes facing up appeared before him.

“Yes! This trick really works!”

Just as he was filled with excitement, a white light emerged from the coin and attached itself to his body.

Nothing else happened besides that.

“Hmm? Is that it? Have I already received the luck buff? I don’t feel anything else.”

“Perhaps it still needs time to activate.”

Without putting more attention on this matter, Lin Ye’s gaze once again swept towards the system panel. This time, he looked at his personal information interface.

“Name: Lin Ye”

“Profession: Magician”

“Profession Level: Apprentice Magician”

“Owned Spells: Magician's Hand + Illumination + Proficiency in Languages + Cleaning Spell +”

“Owned Magic Items: Archmage Roger’s Ever-Changing Pocket Watch, Card Master Twisted Fate’s Destiny Cards, Fairy Mischief Silver Coin”

“Owned Magic Pets: Black, Brian”

“Owned magic gold coins: 0”

“Basic Attributes: Strength 7, Constitution 8, Spirit 10, Agility 8, Mana 30”

At this moment, his various statistics had changed significantly compared to when he first obtained the system.

He now had four spells, and a “+” appeared after each of them, meaning he could upgrade them using skill points.

As for which spell to upgrade, he already had an answer in his mind: it would undoubtedly be the Magician's Hand, which was currently the most practical.

So, he didn’t hesitate to click on the “+” after Magician's Hand.

The next second, the words “Magician's Hand” twisted before his eyes, quickly transforming into a few other words—Archmagician’s Hand.

When he saw these five words, Lin Ye almost fell to the ground.

“What is this? After upgrading, it just adds the word ‘Arch’ in front?! That’s too perfunctory!”

Just as he couldn't help but complain, a large amount of new memories flooded into his mind.

In these memories, he had become a seasoned magic scholar who, through diligent study, had improved the traditional Magician's Hand and upgraded it to Archmagician’s Hand.

Not only was its power enhanced, but it also gained some new effects.

“Archmagician’s Hand — 0th-tier, unaligned profound magic. Each use consumes 2 mana points. Condenses a pair of invisible Magician's Hands to help you complete various tasks. The Magician's Hand can be split, allowing you to control an additional pair of Magician's Hands.”

“Special Effect: Invisible Servant. Transforms the Magician's Hand into an invisible servant. It can perform simple tasks for you and cast some simple spells. The invisible servant consumes one mana point per minute of existence. Its abilities are equivalent to the main body, and mana consumed for casting spells is deducted from the main body. Can be advanced.”

Feeling the memories of the upgraded Magician's Hand in his mind, Lin Ye’s face showed a hint of understanding.

In short, the upgraded Magician's Hand was indeed enhanced in all aspects. First, there was the casting range; the original Magician's Hand could only be controlled within a 10-meter radius, but now the control range of the Magician's Hand had doubled.

Its load capacity also increased from 100 jin to 200 jin, making it 400 jin with both hands combined.

“No, now it can also split, so that’s four hands.”

This way, he could accomplish more things, such as...

Inside the room, Lin Ye lightly waved his hand towards the large bed in front of him, and the bed immediately floated up. With another wave, the desk next to it also floated up.

With another wave, the chair and wardrobe all floated up.

Four invisible large hands steadily supported them, appearing to ordinary people as if they were floating.

This way, he could even impersonate a master of telekinesis in the future.

Once he grew tired of playing, he gently returned the four items to their original positions.

The next second, he once again cast Archmagician’s Hand.

The original four pairs of invisible Magician's Hands immediately gathered together, gradually transforming into a transparent humanoid aggregate under his gaze.

And this humanoid aggregate was precisely the invisible servant.

While possessing all the characteristics of the Magician's Hand, it also had a certain degree of intelligence, allowing him to assign it simple tasks to complete.

For example, having it wash clothes, clean, or feed pets.

Out of curiosity, Lin Ye even dressed it in his own clothes.

Although it was transparent, after putting on a mask, hat, sunglasses, and gloves, from a distance, it looked no different from a real person.

A dummy without a physical body but with the functions of a real person immediately made Lin Ye's thoughts wander.

“If I let it be an assassin, wouldn’t it leave no traces?”

“Also, I could have it be my stand-in for a disappearing act, a human vanishing act.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the invisible servant in front of him was incredibly practical, especially for magic tricks.

“Tonight’s magic show would be a good opportunity to try it out.”

Just as Lin Ye was about to control the invisible servant to do something else, his door was suddenly knocked.

Hearing the knock, he quickly dismissed the invisible servant.

The next second, the clothes on the invisible servant fell to the floor.

With a casual Cleaning Spell, these clothes automatically flew onto the bed nearby.

Then he gave Black and Brian a look, and the two little fellows immediately transformed into their doll forms.

After confirming that there was nothing else in the room, he finally opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a slender, beautiful woman with exquisite makeup and fashionable attire appeared before him.

And her first sentence made him a bit confused.

“Handsome, I’m sorry, but could you please do me a favor? I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend.”

“Huh?” Hearing her words, Lin Ye froze on the spot.

“Is the luck effect that obvious?”
