I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 68 - 68 067 Im starting to grow eyes now

?Chapter 68: 067 I’m starting to grow eyes now Chapter 68: 067 I’m starting to grow eyes now The Wizard’s potion, is said to function for repairing hidden body injuries?

So magical, Lin An left the office at noon following the software park’s exiting crowd and headed straight for the subway station.

Mr. Liu had departed with the company’s team two hours earlier and could only fret in secret.

What Lin An imagined to be ‘hidden under the washing basin in the subway station’ was the medicine attached under the basin surface with double-sided tape or witchcraft.

When he arrived, he couldn’t help exclaiming, “Good heavens.”

There was no need to bend down; from afar, he saw a small express box discarded underneath the wash basin.

The box was small, about the size that could hold two cans of cola, with a piece of paper stuck to the side that read—Medicine.

Lin An was almost stunned. Was this the shoddy way things were done?

200,000! This was medicine worth 200,000! And it was from the Supernatural World!

It was so out of line!

Lin An turned on the tap to wash his hands, looked around, and seeing no one nearby and no illusions caused by other’s vision, he quickly bent down and picked up the express box.

Then, he swiftly entered the adjacent stall, looking at the box with a strange expression.

It indeed was an express box, as there were traces of courier slips that hadn’t been fully removed. Tearing off the clear tape on top, inside was wrapped a glass bottle even smaller than a lighter.

“Wow~”

Lin An took out the glass bottle and silently marveled, staring blankly at the liquid inside.

The bluish-purple liquid contained specks of gold and silver that swirled, rotating within the glass bottle as if it held a brilliant galaxy.

Without lingering there, Lin An deftly placed the bottle into his laptop bag, took a prepared shopping bag out of the same bag, and stuffed the express box into it.

Leaving the subway station quickly and weaving through the crowd, when he passed an unobserved trash can, he took out the express box and threw it in.

Once he was out on the streets by the software park, he discarded the shopping bag in a trash can.

He then took a round on the streets and disposed of the thin disposable gloves he had on into another trash can.

Finally, he casually went for a fast food meal at a food street near the software park often visited by his colleagues and leisurely returned to the office.

Only half-opening the curtains, he began to wait patiently.

The sunlight filtered through, dappling the office. Lin An sat in front of the computer with a calm expression, seriously adjusting the color of the wolf fur, occasionally closing his eyes to observe the fur on the wolf’s ears.

Time passed, and suddenly, a figure appeared in the office.

It wasn’t Mr. Liu.

“Meow~”

A black cat poked its head over, curiously looking at the wolf fur on Lin An’s screen.

Lin An habitually scratched its chin, inadvertently causing it to purr contentedly.

“Meow~~”

—She (Chen Xinmi) was starting to get impatient with Mr. Liu. Creating a AAA game themed on wizards was meant to promote wizard culture and serve as a ticket to the “Thorns Flower Forum,” an international wizards academic organization.

—Whether Lu Dexian wanted to become a Witch-hunting Knight, she did not care; what she needed was this highly proactive business partner to utilize Lu Jiao’s foundation and create the game for her.

Lin An was stunned and nodded, “What does that have to do with Mr. Liu?”

“Meow~”

— A conflict of interest!

— She was very cautious about using ‘mind reading,’ an innate witchcraft because the human heart is filled with impurities and chaotic thoughts, and she often felt disgusted by seeing the thoughts and fantasies of others.

— But she had to use this unfair advantage for this negotiation, and she found out Mr. Liu did not wish for Lu Dexian to succeed in making the game for her.

— Mr. Liu actually intended to use this outsourcing project to scheme against Lu Jiao, hoping to bury Lu Dexian in debts, thus dragging the desperate Lu into a life of debauchery, eventually leading Lu Jiao to separate from Lu Dexian’s body.

— However, if Mr. Liu, because of Lu Jiao, became a Witch-hunting Knight, and due to his past experience dealing with the powerful Witch-hunting Knight Lu Tingyu, it was highly likely that he would become a useful covert piece for the wizards within the Witch-hunting Knights.

— She had to weigh her own interests against those of the wizard faction.

Swoosh~

Lin An whistled, his expression flickering momentarily.

However, since the black cat had arrived, he obviously had more important matters to attend to.

He slightly adjusted the angle of his office chair and placed his laptop bag on his lap, opened it up, and beckoned the black cat to have a look, “What do you think this is?”

The black cat was no ordinary animal.

It shared memories and everything else with Chen Xinmi yet had its own behavioral logic and spirit.

It recognized the item at a glance, “Body Repairing Elixir? How do you have this? Have you not joined the Mad Male Witch’s Tree Hole Organization?”

Lin An chuckled, “That’s a secret. Can you tell me how it works? Are there any side effects? How do I use it?”

The black cat looked up at him, “Open it and let me smell.”

So Lin An reached into his laptop bag, carefully pulled the cork from the glass bottle, and let the black cat’s warm nose come close for a sniff.

“It’s the genuine ‘Body Repairing Elixir’ all right. You can close it now,” it meowed, introducing the item to Lin An, “In the Tree Hole Organization, there is a wizard skilled at making secret potions who wears a ‘rabbit biting a carrot’ mask. Rumored to be a feng shui master in real life, concocting these potions is his unique expertise.”

“The potion has no side effects. She (Chen Xinmi) tore her body in half as a price to suppress witchcraft and relied on a large vat of this potion to regrow her body.”

“Shu Yun’s spirits, after being devoured by her increasingly ferocious white python, hurt her body, and it was with this potion she healed. However, she always thought it was because she was nearing Witch-ghoul Transformation, which caused hidden injuries to her body.”

“She (Chen Xinmi) almost used up her company share dividends to buy these potions.”

“It’s very effective, but…”

Lin An mused, recalling the half-body of Chen Xinmi he had seen in the seam between the Spirit Realm and the real world, “But the loss of her spirit wasn’t compensated for?”

The black cat nodded, “You could say that.”

“But you can use it, your eyes have actually been damaged due to surgical complications. This potion will come in handy for you.”

“Regarding the wizard who makes potions, ‘Rabbit Biting a Carrot’ Mister, he generally doesn’t tell others that it’s best to eat a few bites of apple before using the potion to prevent developing a resistance to it, which would increase the needed dose next time.”

Awesome!

Miao Miao is really awesome.

Next, Lin An returned to focusing on adjusting the image, stroking the cat with one hand and tweaking module parameters with the mouse in the other.

Time passed without him knowing how long, perhaps not too long at all. With an empty hand, the black cat had disappeared once again.

Lin An smiled and said nothing, just calmly busying himself with work.

Only when it was time to leave at 5:30 pm did he leisurely take the bus home. On the way, he stopped by the platform-side stall to buy a few pounds of apples, as if doing what a normal person should do.

Once home, he hummed a tune while his head hung in a net bag, “Return my eyes~~~ return my~~ eyes~~~ return my return my return my~~~ eyes~~~”

After putting the head down and letting it roll around the room, he washed an apple, cautiously glancing around the room.

First, he drew the curtains, then with an odd expression, he opened the closet doors to confirm there was no one inside, before biting into the apple with large bites.

The apple was crispy and full, the juice rich, but perhaps because he had eaten too many as a child, Lin An didn’t really like them.

When he used to work part-time, he couldn’t choose many fruits to supplement his nutrition; those cheap, ugly apples were almost a reminder of his impoverished childhood memories.

After finishing the apple, he then sat on the edge of the bed and took out the potion from the laptop bag.

Even though he had seen it multiple times, the visual effect of the potion glowing inside the bottle, seemingly containing a galaxy, still seemed particularly magical.

He uncorked the bottle and poured it directly into his mouth.

Then he lay on the bed with a calm expression, waiting for any changes to occur.

Soon, a distinct acidic sensation spread through various corners of his body; some places on the back of his heel, the muscles and bones of his right hand from frequent mouse usage, several spots on his back and even his stomach felt a hard-to-describe soreness.

It turned out he had accumulated so many hidden injuries unknowingly.

Of course, the most uncomfortable part was his eye sockets, which itched terribly as if something was growing inside; the itch was so bad he almost couldn’t resist scratching.

Lin An clenched the bedsheets tightly, his body convulsing and drenched in sweat, biting down on his teeth to keep from making noise.

“Eh?” The ugly head bounced up, hopping around the bed next to Lin An, “You seem a bit strange, what are you doing?”

Lin An turned his head to look at it and said with a somewhat hoarse voice, “I think my eyes are starting to grow back.”

Indeed, his eyes, which had been damaged from cataract surgery, seemed to be regrowing.
