I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 30: 030 The affairs of the martial world are settled by the martial community itself Chapter 30: 030 The affairs of the martial world are settled by the martial community itself Lin An found it magical; he had never seen spiritual illusions on such a plant’s fruit before.

He used to ponder and analyze why the basketball at home might display a kind of spirituality because of his own presence.

And the crowded subway during the rush hour turning into a lizard could be because of the multitude of human spirits inside, converging together to give the subway some symbolic meaning. Like the city’s fast-paced life devouring everyone or something like that.

He wasn’t sure, just generally had that kind of idea.

But these walnuts were truly amazing; they seemed not to reveal spirituality because of human involvement.

They possess spirituality inherently!

“Boss, what is this?”

“Walnuts~,” the junior boss answered offhandedly, closed the cabinet door, then turned around with a smile and said, “The joy of the wealthy is beyond your imagination; these wild walnuts nourished by spring water in the deep mountains can’t be bought on the market at all. You have to find someone to specially pick them, and then you need an experienced herbal farmer to do the most suitable drying process.”

“An, if you keep working hard, believe me, you will become very wealthy too.”

6!

666!

I just wanted to ask about these walnuts; what’s with the pep talk all of a sudden?

Lin An managed to pull a wry smile, showing a cooperative expression, “Alright, boss.”

The junior boss thought for a moment, then decisively reopened the safe and took the bag of walnuts out to place on Lin An’s desk again, “Take these, to nourish your brain.”

He took out his phone from his pocket and swiped a few times, “The White Dew this year came early, and the walnuts ripened at the beginning of September. I’ll have someone go up the mountain to pick some more when they’re ready, and I’ll share some with you then.”

“Thank you, boss!” Lin An tried not to show too excited of an expression, after all, to ordinary people, these were just regular walnuts—only with a stronger wild medicinal potency.

But he knew these were no mere things!

These were walnuts from the Supernatural World!

Seeing the black cat salivating, Lin An knew this was something good.

You should know that the black cat represents Chen Xinmi’s spirit, which even this powerful witch found alluring.

“!!!”

Lin An suddenly realized something.

The black cat… Chen Xinmi…
He petted the black cat all over; would Suxin software’s boss, Chen Xinmi have any reaction?

He wasn’t quite sure what the unique connection between a spirit and its physical body was.

But he didn’t believe there was no connection at all.

This…
The black cat came closer again; it couldn’t touch the walnuts on the computer desk but could touch Lin An. It leaned its head over, its smooth nose pressed against Lin An’s face and took a sniff, immediately lighting up its eyes, and scraped its tender cat tongue over the corner of Lin An’s mouth.

“!!!”

Lin An clenched his hands tightly; the junior boss was standing right in front of him fiddling with his phone, unsure if he would look down at him.

Because not every glance would cast illusions, he couldn’t use it to judge whether others were watching him.

Right then, the junior boss’s phone rang, and he looked at the number on the display in shock before answering.

“Hello, mentor…”

He said while heading straight to his seat.

Lin An quickly pushed the black cat aside, and seeing it meowing at him, he thought and tried to pick up a piece of walnut to place in his palm.

“Meow!”

——’Meow!’
Excited, the black cat leaned its head into Lin An’s palm, impatiently scooping the walnut into its mouth, chewing with its eyes half-closed.

Suddenly, its eyes widened.

“Meow!”

——Oh no!

What’s wrong? Lin An was startled by it, and then he heard a loud bang.

In just an instant, the illusion of the black cat disappeared, and a puff of smoke suddenly emerged from under the junior boss’s desk in the distance.

“No, nothing happened here, let’s agree on that then, goodbye mentor.”

The junior boss hung up the phone, and as Lin An walked over, they exchanged glances and squatted down together.

Under the desk, there was suddenly a surveillance device that had been installed at an unknown time.

The size of a packed lunch box!

“Ha, badass, which corporate spy is so awesome that they put a monitor in my office?” The young boss chuckled as he looked at the gadget, but his heart wasn’t as carefree as he appeared.

He swelled up almost entirely, with brown and black hairs growing wildly, transforming into a huge deer resembling a yak.

The giant deer roared furiously, “Damn!”

As the roar echoed, the surroundings suddenly turned pitch black, while the lights on the ceiling and computer all turned into red beams.

Looking back, the entire floor of the office building seemed empty, without a single figure in sight.

Boom~
With a loud noise, the ceiling burst open, cement fragments exploded, and numerous wires shot out intense red sparks.

A huge steel barrier crashed through the ceiling, falling to the floor.

It was the most terrifying hallucination Lin An had ever seen!

He clenched his pants tightly, trying not to show any panic, as one steel barrier after another crashed down from the ceiling with thunderous roars, dividing the entire office floor into countless fragmented partitions.

Amidst the crisscrossed steel barriers, red light spread, and Lin An faintly saw a head with blurred skin and flesh.

Above the head, a pair of antlers soared to the sky.

This half head only had a left eye, half a nose, and a lower jaw where the skin was broken away to expose the teeth.

This person!

Lin An recognized this person!

During his university days, he had not only seen this figure in various political and economic reports but also due to the person’s accent in English, featured prominently in the realm of short video memes.

Lu Tingyu.

The tycoon who founded Antler Game Software Development Company, the young boss’s dad.

He didn’t look like he simply died of illness; it was as though half of his head had been ripped off.

However…

This was just a hallucination, who knows what it actually signified.

All of this happened so fast, the vast hallucination appeared in an instant, and in another, transformed.

Seas of blood gushed as if gates had been flung open, pouring from every corner of the steel gates, and within the sea of blood, numerous horrifying tentacles climbed along the rails, ceiling, floor, desks, and other surfaces.

What was seen differed greatly from what was felt, making every hallucination utterly paradoxical.

Although the sea of blood surged, it wasn’t fast; one could only feel it approaching.

One could see blood splashing high as it struck the rails, papers and various objects on the computer desk being lifted and floating on the surface, and the dazzling red light of electrical shorts at each workstation…

But this all came so slowly as though in slow motion.

The tentacles, however, had already rushed into the young boss’s office first.

They extended across the ceiling, the door frame, the ground, gradually encircling the space where Lin An and the young boss were.

Lin An swallowed hard, terribly tempted to scream and bolt.

But he knew he couldn’t.

He knew beside him was the young boss, and outside were colleagues at work; if he did that, he might truly be treated as mad.

Lin An tried his best to focus only on the monitor in front of him, curiously asking, “Boss, who installed this?”

Even though he had a pretty good idea who it might be.

“Who else!” the giant deer roared furiously, “I felt the scent of witchcraft, it’s only because of it that such a big monitor could go unnoticed!”

“I didn’t want to get involved at all, but these Wizards are getting too bold for their own good!”

“I should’ve known! They attacked Mr. Cao! How could they possibly leave me alone!”

“I’m going to have Mr. Cao check this out! See who in the office is a Wizard! I want him dead!”

Lin An’s breath hitched.

Done for!

Seems like he’s the only Wizard in the company?

And he had even moved to the boss’s office, giving him ample opportunity to install a monitor there!

Everything seemed to conveniently point to him taking the chance to set up the monitor!

Hiss~
This is bad, real bad!

“Should we call the police?” Lin An muttered instinctively.

“No!” All the hallucinations vanished, and the young boss’s smiling face reappeared before Lin An. He gently patted the office desk and stood up, saying meaningfully, “The rule is… we settle our own matters within our own world!”
