《Luck is a Charm》An Odd Wand
Advertisement
Before arriving at Davis Butcher, Zhen managed to buy a low-grade spatial ring with my remaining 3 gold.
Although it doesn't look as beautiful as the one Sara has, it still has a good storage space.
Completely broke now, Zhen can only cross his finger and hope Uncle Davis would not extort him heavily.
Zhen arrived in Davis Butcher after 7 minutes of walking.
Uncle Davis' assistant greeted him before going inside to inform Uncle Davis about his arrival.
Shortly after, Uncle Davis came out carrying a box with a brown bag on top of it.
Uncle Davis greeted Zhen and said, "Haha, young man, welcome back. Your Likra meat is in this box and the other valuables part has been sold with the gold being stored in this brown bag."
Zhen didn't bother to reply and opened the bag to see how much gold was there.
Zhen was delighted as there was 100 gold.
"Haha, Uncle Davis sure is a hardworking man, I will be taking my leave now."
Zhen said and used the fastest speed possible to store both items and run away before giving Uncle Davis a chance to extort him.
His back was facing Uncle Davis when running away so Zhen couldn't see him having a big smile.
As Zhen ran around randomly, he found a store that specializes in selling weapons.
Zhen entered the store out of curiosity and there were multiple weapons hanging around the side with many customers.
The store was pretty popular as the workers here are enthusiastic with their work when advertising the weapon to them.
It was at this moment that Zhen had a weird feeling coming out of his stomach. It's like something is attracting him to go somewhere.
Zhen couldn't control my movement as he walked to a door and the workers tried to stop him from going there.
The worker tried to prevent him but Zhen’s body wouldn't listen to him as he opened the door to enter.
Seeing how the workers couldn't stop Zhen in his action, he went away to notify his supervisor.
Only after a while did Zhen stop in front of a rusty box with a dirty-looking wand item inside.
At this time, a person came rushing in and said, "Sir, this area is for the disposable item and it's not a suitable place for you to be here."

‘A disposable place? Why did my body guide me to this rusty wand then?’
Zhen can’t help but feel something supernatural keeps on happening ever since he has been transmigrated to this fantasy world.
‘If this supernatural thing wants me to check this wand out then there must be a reason for it.’
Thinking like this, Zhen asked the supervisor, "How much would this rusty wand cost?"
The supervisor was shocked at how a customer would want something rusty where they are just dumped to this place with no care.
They thought this rusty wand was something rare and a gem hidden inside a rock. But reality struck them hard from dreaming as they have their specialists saying this wand is nothing special and is basically a trash item.
‘Well, this is probably another fool who thinks he found gold and tried to buy it. Let me test my luck and try to earn some bonus.’
The supervisor decided to go ahead and act his duty in scamming so he said slowly to Zhen’s question.
"Sir must be an extraordinary person, and seeing how you're interested in it, I will part with it for 3 gold."
Using his senses, Zhen can tell he's ripping him off but his body won't move until he gets this rusty wand so he gives in.
"Deal, 3 gold it is then."
Zhen used my spatial ring to take out 3 gold and handed it over while storing the rusty wand before leaving.
The supervisor cursed in his mind, 'Man, he's a big fool. I should have charged him more but selling a disposable item should increase my bonus this month. Hehe.'
Zhen walked off to a nearby alley and used Sense to see no one was following him or near him. He teleports using Kuro's aura as a coordinate.
*Whoosh*
Zhen disappears from his location and appears back in his room where Kuro is still sleeping like a pig.
The inn’s room has multiple anti-stuff to guarantee the patron's privacy but just in case, Zhen uses his mana to create a spatial space around the room to isolate us.
This is to ensure that if a commotion were to occur when the room's magic formation failed then it wouldn't alert anyone.

‘This rusty wand is able to control my body means this is something extraordinary but no one was able to decipher it.’
Zhen looked at this rusty wand and decided to wash it up with a basic water element magic, Clear Water.
Even washing with magic didn't clean any part. Zhen decided to concentrate more and paid this wand more attention.
He doesn't know what his mage rank is ranked at but from Kuro's word, his magic should be more powerful than others.
Now, he has a rusty wand that is able to resist his magic so Zhen believed it to be unique.
As Zhen condensed more mana, without his notices, the tiny core started blinking brightly as it seeped into the mana and the output water started to clean the rusty wand now.
However, it only manages to get rid of a bit of rust.
Although it only cleaned a bit, there is a beak-like shape, and that's all he got.
Zhen feels exhausted after overusing my mana on this water spell but can't even clean the rust off.
‘Maybe, I'll be able to clean it entirely when I increase my cultivation as this experiment simply shows that I'm not as overpower as I think I am.’
Zhen came to this conclusion after being unsuccessful in unraveling the secret of the odd wand.
Kuro woke up at this time because he felt an overwhelming aura of pure mana being used around.
He blinked his eye a few times before seeing his Master holding a rusty wand. 'Did Master went coo-coo after being rejected by Sara?'
Noticing Kuro's awake, Zhen stores back the wand into his spatial ring, and with a smirk.
Zhen said, "Kuro, sleeping so much that you missed Sara's food. But don't worry, I ate your portion of food out of kindness."
'W-what, I missed Sara's food and Master ate m-my portion!'
Kuro's body shook with his eye blazing in anger and roared, "Master, we're a family so how can you be so heartless to steal my portion."
"What do you mean heartless? Who refused to wake up even after my shouting to the ears and told me to get away?"
Although Zhen is lying through his teeth, his acting skills are already on the top so Kuro can't see through it at all.
Kuro's blazing eye calmed down with an unbelievable expression on his face while muttering, "I miss a delicacy because I refuse to wake up. A sin, truly a sin, I need to wake up in the morning if I want Sara's breakfast."
Kuro couldn't be blamed for sleeping like a pig as no one in his species interacts with him or plays with him.
He was always alone so sleeping is his way to pass time and to ignore the loud noises outside. He had a habit of shutting off communication to continue sleeping.
What Kuro doesn't know is that if Zhen wants to wake him up, with both of them connecting in a contract, even if Kuro shuts off outside noise.
He won't be able to cut off his Master's word.
Vice versa, Zhen also wouldn't be able to cut off signals from Kuro as they can be called something like Live or Die together.
Seeing how Kuro's stomach started rumbling, Zhen said, "Let's go for a walk in town and see if there are good restaurants around. Sara is busy at the moment in the adventure guild so she should be done when we get some good food."
Kuro nodded his head as he knew that Sara wouldn't be able to cook him food if she's not here.
They got up and greeted Sara's parents before walking out to find some good restaurants.
Well, mostly Kuro because he's starving while Zhen ate two portions of food so he's not that hungry.
In the meantime, Sara's parents were a bit confused to see Zhen as they didn't notice him coming back.
But they brushed it off and thought they were too busy to notice him when he came back.
Meanwhile, Zhen was still thinking about the mysteries around that odd wand before being dragged by Kuro excitedly when he saw a restaurant.

If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
