Hogwarts Collector I Cast A Spell With The Eye Of God

1990, London, Trafalgar Square

The bustling crowd formed a big circle, all of them were young people who came out to play.

The crowd and cheers attracted more and more passers-by like a magnet.

The one surrounded in the center was a young boy about ten years old.

He had black hair and black eyes, and was particularly handsome.

He had a typical oriental face, but he was dressed in a standard jazz outfit - a white pleated shirt with a black tank top, a black cape with a red background, a ring with a red gem on his right hand, and a black hat on his head, showing his chic demeanor.

At this moment, a deck of playing cards seemed to be alive, flying and jumping between his flexible fingers.

Shuffling, cutting, and pulling cards, every action was extremely skillful, and the playing cards seemed to have turned into fluttering butterflies, attracting cheers and thunderous applause from the surrounding audience.

Finally, the boy slapped the entire deck of playing cards on the table, making a crisp "pop" sound.

"Beautiful lady," the boy spread his hands to show that he had no hidden cards, and then smiled and said to the brown-haired girl in front of him, "Please turn over the top card."

The girl, who was about the same age as the boy, was also one of the spectators.

She was just selected by the boy to cooperate with the magic, and at this moment, she was carefully picking up a card from the top of the deck.

When she saw the card, her eyes widened and her face was full of surprise. "Come on, show the cards in your hand and the note you wrote before."

The boy said easily, "Let everyone see, is the pattern on the card the same as the animal you wrote?" "Yes... yes."

The girl's voice was a little trembling, like a robot, she mechanically raised the card in her hand, there was no number or color on it, but a cute white cartoon cat head pattern.

Then, she took out the note she wrote three minutes ago from her pocket, on which was written "Cat" in beautiful handwriting.

Then, he did not live up to everyone's expectations and caused a burst of exclamations:

"Wow, this is too amazing!"

"How could it be a cat pattern? How did he do it?"

"Is there someone in the crowd who is his assistant?"

"It's impossible. It's obviously an ordinary deck of playing cards. How can it be a cat pattern!"

"I've said it before, magician Lini is the best magician!"

"Lini, good job!"

...

The atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited, and the audience cheered for the boy named Lini.

"Thank you, thank you for your love."

The boy held his hat and bowed gracefully.

"According to the original plan, today's performance should have ended here."

He looked around and continued:

"But this lady, like me, has a special liking for cats. This is indeed a rare fate. So I decided to perform another magic for everyone."

The boy showed the hat in his hand to the audience and put it on the ground.

Then he looked at the girl, with a charming smile on his face, "So, can you put the card in the hat?"

Seeing such a handsome peer smiling at her, the girl was a little dazed for a moment, until her father patted her gently on the back, and then she came back to her senses.

"Oh... OK." She shyly put the card into the hat.

"Thank you for your cooperation, lovely lady."

The boy's voice was full of magnetism, and he kissed her hand exaggeratedly.

The girl's cheeks became redder and her heartbeat accelerated.

Then, the boy took off his cloak and covered the hat, waiting quietly for five seconds.

The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.

"Then next, it's time to witness the miracle."

He suddenly opened his cloak, and a white and golden kitten gracefully emerged from the hat.

It has a pair of bright purple eyes and a star-shaped mark on its face, which looks very cute.

There was a big cyan checkered bow tied behind the kitten's neck, and in the center of the bow was a crystal cyan glass bead, which sparkled charmingly.

All the characteristics of the kitten were exactly the same as the cat on the previous card.

The cat actually came out of the card!

The next moment, the crowd burst into applause and cheers that were ten times louder than the last time.

"Amazing~!"

"It's amazing!"

"The boy is really a genius!"

"I like your performance!"

...

"Thank you everyone, today's performance is really over!"

The boy bowed to everyone, announcing the end of today's performance.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and many people threw money into the hat on the ground, mostly 10, 20, and 50 pence coins, and occasionally one pound, two pound coins and five pound notes.

Whenever someone gave a tip, the boy would express his gratitude, and the white cat would nod to the tipper, and even waved cutely with its little paws.

The cute appearance of the cat, which is in line with human nature, undoubtedly further ignited the enthusiasm of the audience to give tips.

Many people were obviously ready to leave, but when they saw this scene, they had to come up and give some tips, just to see the cat thank them.

The cat certainly did not hesitate to act cute to them,

However, whenever someone wanted to touch the cat, it would always dodge it cleverly.

This just-right aloofness made it even more likable.

When the crowd completely dispersed, the boy began to sort out the magic props and the money he had earned.

In fact, what he called sorting was just throwing things into the hat at once, playing cards, scarves, roses, coins that were not thrown into the hat... In short, there was no classification at all, and he didn't care about the size of the things.

And this hat was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much stuff was stuffed into it, it looked like it could not be filled.

Soon, the boy threw the last coin into the hat, and then put the hat on his head in a chic manner.

During the whole process, nothing spilled out of the hat, as if all the items stuffed into the hat had entered another space.

The boy stood up and was about to leave, and the white cat immediately jumped up lightly and climbed onto his shoulder skillfully along the boy's trouser legs.

The boy smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, I'll carry you and walk, you little lazy guy, you're starting to enter energy-saving mode again..."

In this way, the man and the cat strolled on the street, and the boy chatted with the cat while walking.

"I made a lot of money this time, at least 150 pounds. You've worked so hard, Linnet."

"Meow~!"

"Come to think of it, I only make about 100 pounds every time I perform so hard. But you, as long as you act a little cute, the audience will line up to give you money... What kind of world is this?"

"Meow~~"

"Yes, yes, I'm a useless master, Linnet is the cutest."

"Meow meow!"

"Got it, I'll buy you your favorite scallops this time."

"Meow!"

"Alas, Linnet, tell me... Why can't we find anything to collect after traveling here for so long? Is that damn system lying to us?"

"Meow?"

"Forget it, forget it, you won't understand such complicated things even if I tell you. Just be cute."

The boy sighed and ended the chat.

That's right, this boy is not a native of this world, but a traveler.

His name is Ye Ting, and Linnie is just his stage name for performing magic.

About eleven years ago, when he was playing a game about darkness, he suddenly traveled to London in this world, turned into a baby, and was adopted by an orphanage.

As a traveler, Ye Ting easily got along well in the orphanage and became a king of children that adults liked and children admired.

However, life in the orphanage was not easy.

Mrs. Thatcher's neoliberal transformation has re-intensified the gap between the rich and the poor in the British Empire, the capitalism's best place.

A large number of welfare benefits have been cut, a large number of state-owned institutions and enterprises have been privatized, and public welfare institutions such as orphanages have also suffered.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. He traveled with him and there is also a [Great Collector System].

As the name suggests, this system can get rewards as long as he collects anything.

According to Ye Ting's attempts, almost anything can be collected by the system,

but the result of collecting is that it disappears forever in the system's collection space, and then the system feedbacks some rewards.

The reward is usually related to the collected things.

For example, Ye Ting once secretly collected an old dining table from an orphanage, and the system swallowed it and rewarded him with a pile of pine wood.

For another example, Ye Ting collected a live chicken, and the system swallowed it and rewarded him with a sweet chicken.

In the end, Ye Ting concluded that the essence of the ability to collect is equivalent exchange, but this so-called equivalence is different from what he imagined.

It's like an exquisite vase and a blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty are equivalent things.

An exquisite watch and a pile of watch parts that have just been manufactured are also equivalent things,

Even a sofa and a pile of rotten wood are also equivalent things,

The rewards you get after each collection are completely based on luck.

So, relying on the system's ability, Ye Ting privately started a "garbage recycling" business, saved a small treasury, and was able to eat and wear warm clothes every day.

Just when he thought he would stay like this until adulthood, an accident made him understand the true role of the [Great Collector System].

When he was eight years old, the old cat in the orphanage gave birth to a litter of kittens.

Since the orphanage couldn't afford to keep so many cats, the nanny of the orphanage sent most of them away.

Ye Ting took a fancy to one of the white female cats and secretly adopted it.

Ye Ting still remembers the system's response at that time:

[Ding! Detected that the host has collected the first pet, rewards God's Eye · Black Spot Cat and God's Eye · White Tailed Cat. ]
