The three people watching from the side couldn't help but look at him with disdain. Fen, who didn't know how to be polite, said, "You've been working so hard all day just to make a scam."
Guessing the heads and tails of a coin was the most classic game for gamblers on Earth. In the maze, double-sided coins were not very common, but some scammers with sharp eyes and quick hands would still use this method to cheat some money in some rural areas or places where the people of the lower class gathered. Using fine money as a gambling tool also had the intention of showing off their wealth and winning people's trust.
The reason why it was called a scam was because they had sharp eyes. These people could know whether they caught the heads or tails every time; and because they were quick, even if they caught the heads, they still had a way to change the result. In short, this kind of trick, in the eyes of mages, was not even a little trick.
It was just that his teacher was really hopeless. If he wanted to scam people, he didn't even want to practice his skills and directly made this kind of two-sided coin. This made people have no choice but to despise him.
As for a certain someone who was being despised, of course, he wouldn't be unaware. Lin curled his lips at this. What was there to say to these people who didn't know what was good for them?
He held the coin with his index finger and thumb, holding it high against the moonlight. To be honest, Lin was both satisfied and dissatisfied with this finished product.
What he was satisfied with was that the coin had human heads on both sides, and the appearance was flawless. The weight was only slightly heavier than the original coin. This was because Gaia metal itself was denser than gold, so the same volume would naturally be heavier. But after all, the weight was not much, so unless the two coins were compared together, it should not be noticed.
What he was dissatisfied with was that who knew if the runes pressed inside would work? Luck was not like other kinds of enhancement aids that could be directly seen, so people could observe the difference in the results. Did he have to take this gold coin and jump off a cliff to see if he could meet an old grandpa or pick up the Nine Yang Divine Art?
Furthermore, after completing this coin, there were no strange phenomena in the sky, nor was there any thunder or lightning. It was silent, and people couldn't figure out what was going on. So Lin subconsciously had a feeling that this was not something he should be carrying with him.
This kind of sixth sense for no reason, if it was back on Earth, would definitely not be taken seriously. But here in the maze, it had to be taken seriously. There were too many mysterious things in this world that science could not explain, and ignoring these signs for no reason would result in death or imminent disaster.
So Lin found a small bag that was specially used to store magic tools. This was made of a special magic cloth, and could stabilize the power of the item. For some unstable magical items, keeping them in a small pouch could ensure that they would not explode while being carried around.
As for those on the verge of exploding, the right thing to do was to throw them far away.
He poured out the magic stones from the bag and put them into the lucky coin. After tying the bag, he tossed it to Halumi's's arms, Lin '' to Hali '''s's arms. Even though the girl reacted quickly and caught the item, she had a look of disdain on her face as she said, "Teacher, even you don't dare to carry it with you. This thing won't attract any misfortune, right?"
Lin's to ''t to't Lin '' '' '''t't't't '' ''t' ''t't't't't to' '' ''t' '' If you don't get it, you probably won't be able to afford it for a hundred years. "
"Ah, I don't want it, I don't want it! I'll give it back to you. "
When they were in the Tower of the Great Sage, they didn't have much use for money, so they didn't give the two apprentices a single cent. At most, they were allowed to pick one or two things they wanted when they bought things from the Chamber of Commerce every month. Before that, someone didn't have the conditions to give it to them, and the two apprentices were young and didn't know how to use it.
They only took the money to plan and use it freely after they returned to Wulian City. In the first few days, the girls would ask their teacher for money if they needed anything at home. After asking a few times, Lin set up a public fund and put a money box in it. There was no need for them to report some small things. They also gave the two girls pocket money for them to use.
In addition to their own interests, the two little girls spent the most of their time on those strange sweets. The world of the Lost Lands was not like Earth in the 21st century. Before transmigrating, people wanted to stay as far away from '' sweets' 'as possible. But in the Lost Lands, all kinds of sweets were rare. Most people didn't have the means to get diabetes or something like that.
In any case, with money at their disposal, they could buy what they wanted. The two girls couldn't stop their desires.
Maybe they wouldn't be so greedy as to sell their bodies or dignity. They only wanted some luxuries that they might not necessarily need. But when they heard that they might have to go back to the era where money was a thing, they ended up like Hallumi now. With snot and tears, they wanted to shove the hot potato back into her teacher's hands.
Unfortunately, this was the time for her teacher's' 'to show. When Hallumi saw that she couldn't persuade this cold-hearted and heartless person, she could only turn around and ask for help. Kaya, who was awake a moment ago, was now wrapped tightly in her clothes and sleeping. She was even snoring.
Knowing that she couldn't count on her friend, Hallumi looked to her elder sister for help. It was just that her elder sister, who was omnipotent in her eyes, was rejoicing in her misfortune as she said, "Don't lose it. Just take good care of it."
"But … … But … …" Knowing that crying was useless, Hallumi had stopped crying long ago. She was still sniffing. Lich added another fatal blow. Fen said, "You're a bit too undisciplined. Speaking of which, I'm surprised that your teacher didn't throw you into the academy to train together. Take advantage of this time to tighten your skin. It'll be good for you in the future. "
The girl broke down and huddled next to the fire with her blanket. She didn't know if she was crying, sleeping, or crying until she fell asleep.
Fen looked at Lin with a smirk. "It wasn't easy to make a treasure. Is it okay to just give it to her like that?"
"Oh, do you think it's something good?" Lin was only interested in Lich's evaluation. Fen shrugged and said noncommittally, "To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about that coin. Is it good or bad? Or is there nothing good or bad about it? The only thing I'm sure of is that it won't hurt to have it with you. "
"Hmm, so that's how it is." After pondering for a moment, Lin opened his notebook and started writing down notes. He said, "I have a feeling that I shouldn't have that coin with me. It's an indescribable feeling. Since that girl helped me make it, I'll leave it with her for safekeeping. I think that's a better way to handle it. "
"Oh. You believe in fate? It seems like you do. "
Lin and the Lich had already had a few philosophical conversations like this. Based on past experience, Fen didn't like to have too many unnecessary gags in these conversations. So Lin thought seriously for a moment. After organizing his words, he said, "Fate seems to be something like this.
"The so-called fate seems to be a coincidence, but it is actually an inevitability driven by a bunch of coincidences. And those coincidences are the inevitability driven by other coincidences. So the so-called uncertainty of fate is actually something that can be followed. So if you ask a question like 'Do I believe in fate?', I'll say that I do, but it's not without reason. You reap what you sow. "
"Mm, you've mentioned it before. That's the so-called theory of cause and effect." Fen remembered some of the ideas in Buddhism when they talked about the history of religion on Earth. Perhaps a certain person didn't have a deep understanding, but it was enough to inspire a top-notch intellectual from another world.
That night, they didn't go into depth on this topic. Lin also went to bed early after packing up the tools he used to make the lucky coin.
The next day, everyone was speechless. Lin drove the carriage on the road.
A certain Lich didn't like riding horses, so she arranged a comfortable seat in the carriage and covered it with soft cushions. She typed the program code while following the lead of others on an aimless journey.
The two wild girls didn't run around early in the morning. They rode their horses and followed their teacher's carriage from afar. From time to time, Hallumi would reach into her pocket to make sure that the deadly thing was still there.
Seeing that there was another fork in the road ahead, Lin stopped the carriage. The Lich, who noticed that he stopped, turned around and smiled. "Oh, another fork in the road. Where do you plan to go this time? My Lord Mage. "
Lin Xiang didn't think and shouted behind him, "Girl, give me my lucky coin."
The girl replied weakly, "Got it." When she urged the horse forward and handed over the coin in the bag, she wanted to run away, but she was also curious about what her teacher was going to do.
The man who took the coin put it on his forehead and muttered a few words. After that, he flicked it.
Four pairs of eyes stared at it. The lucky coin with the two-faced human head drew a perfect parabola in the air and landed lightly on the ground. It landed on the left side of the carriage, which was also the road that was going to the left.
Wiping the ring on his left hand, Lin cast Bocamoso's Giant Palm and picked up the coin that had fallen to the ground. After wiping off the dust on it and handing it back to Hallumi, Lin said, "Since this is the direction of fate, let's go to the left."
This series of actions made the three women somewhat flabbergasted. Hallumi was the first to react and complained loudly, "How can this count? If you keep throwing it to the left, then we can only go to the left forever. "
Lin was prepared for this and said, "If you don't think this is good, then you throw the coin and decide the direction."
"I'll throw it." As if in a fit of pique, Hallumi deliberately turned to the right and flicked the coin with her finger.
The parabola in the air attracted the attention of the four people. Under everyone's gaze, the coin that landed on the ground accidentally hit a stone. The coin didn't land on the ground steadily. Instead, it changed the direction of the force and rolled on the ground. In one breath, it rolled back to the left side of the road and hit a small stone on the ground. It didn't roll any further and fell directly to the ground.
Lin snorted and laughed at this dramatic change. Hallumi's face was ashen as she watched the coin roll back to the left side of the road. Kaya, on the other hand, had a puzzled and curious expression. She couldn't understand why this happened. Only Fen had a serious expression as she thought about what had just happened.
