Chapter 246: 214 Wizard Reemployment (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Today is the weekend, and there’s no work, so the young boss came early in the morning to find Lin An, mainly because they had agreed to look for a suitable headquarters entrance and exit today.
Throughout the trip, the young boss had a strange expression when looking at Lin An.
Lin An, puzzled, fiddled with the mirror on the passenger side to see if there was something odd on his face, but there wasn’t anything unusual.
The young boss pursed his lips and drove the car into the parking lot of the shopping center.
This location was a full two kilometers from Sunshine Book City, not revealing the true location of the headquarters at all.
Although, even if it were revealed, it wouldn’t matter since no one could find it.
“Thousand-Link Plaza, the first large commercial district in New City. All around here are densely packed residential buildings with huge customer traffic.”
“Malls, shopping plazas, neighborhoods—places with extremely high population density are always key patrol areas for the Antler People, and wizards have also learned to be cautious; even if they really come to the mall, they dare not use any witchcraft here.”
“In other words, wizards rarely operate in this place, and the Antler side has us registered, so they won’t do anything to the members of our organization—especially suitable.”
After parking, the two headed towards an elevator room. The young boss took out a key card from his pocket, beeped it, and only then did the elevator doors open.
Once inside, the elevator ascended all the way up.
“There’s an office area on the ninth floor which used to belong to an insurance company. It’s spacious, and since it’s been vacant since they moved out, I bought it.”
“We can use that place as the entrance and exit in the future.”
“There’s also an emergency passageway outside the office area. Following the stairs down, you can enter the interior of the plaza, blending into the crowd from there, which makes it particularly inconspicuous.”
What is financial capability?

This is financial capability.
The two stepped out of the elevator, and Lin An kept staring back at it.
“What’s up?” The young boss waved a key, looking at Lin An, puzzled.
“Private elevator for each unit?”
“This isn’t ‘one elevator per household,’ it’s called a private elevator, and besides, there are two elevators.”
“So extravagant?” Lin An raised an eyebrow, “How about we set up the entrance in one of those elevators?”
“Good grief! I call that a good grief!” The young boss’s eyes widened, “That’s possible?”
Indeed it was. After discussing it, if this office area were used for other purposes, it could even be better for deception. One of the elevators was already designated as a private passage for executives in the original company, so using it exclusively for the organization would be even less conspicuous.
The decision was rather interesting, but they still went to the office area to take a look.
After all, since it was already purchased, and though it only had about thirty years left in its commercial property rights, it was still something bought with real money.
The office area was quite large, even larger than the new office area in the software park.
“Hey, An, what do you think about moving the game development department over here?” the young boss suddenly had a bright idea, “Or maybe we should just move the whole company here. The lease on the other side only has one year left, and I haven’t signed to renew it yet.”
“We could combine them, saving us the trouble of running between the company and the organization.”
“Not a good idea.” Lin An looked around with some regret and eventually shook his head, “The game project has just officially started. It’s a time when we most need to inspire everyone’s enthusiasm. Office relocation now would definitely affect everyone’s mindset. Besides, it might seem like just moving the company, but the impact is far more than that.”
Just commuting to work would be a huge mess.
“Yo~” The young boss looked Lin An up and down with a clicking sound, “Is this still the An I know? Where did that somewhat dazed programmer from before go?”
Lin An grinned, “Please call me game producer Lin An. I’m learning and growing too.”
They say your position dictates your perception. Now a game producer, although many tasks were handled by the young boss, Lin An still had plenty to worry about.
“Don’t worry~” Lin An put an arm around the young boss’s shoulder, “No matter how the organization ‘Sorcerer’s Shelter’ develops, I will do my utmost to make the game great with you!”
The young boss was somewhat touched.
Truth be told, compared to the fighting and killing in the Supernatural World, he actually preferred the game development industry of the ordinary world.
He longed to follow in his father’s footsteps and carve out an even more brilliant future.
He hoped that when people addressed him, they would call him Mr. Lu, not some young boss.
He aspired to be like his father, yet also hoped to surpass him, whether in the gaming industry or the Extraordinary Realm.
Of course, he was still green. His technique for temporarily harnessing the spirit of the Antler People had traces of research from Zhuang’s lineage, clearly not surpassing his father’s research results.
“I’m planning to start a company with that office area, mainly to accommodate the families of our wizards.”
After returning and holding an organizational meeting, the young boss won the cheers of everyone.
But as discussions progressed, it seemed the company could also be used to accommodate the wizards themselves, as everyone needed a life outside their duties.
“I’m really an accountant.” The old accountant, holding a dry pipe, said, “Deputy Commander, if you need, I can still offer some help.”
“I can drive!” The Lottery Wizard also excitedly raised his hand.
The detective siblings’ sister was even more enthusiastic, her eyes sparkling, “Deputy Commander, what kind of company are you planning to start? I’m studying administrative management at Shenhou University, and I need to start looking for an internship now!”
The young boss and Lin An exchanged glances and couldn’t help laughing, “Good grief, I feel like I struck a bargain.”
Yes, you’ve made a killing.
These employees definitely possessed high loyalty.
Lin An looked at the young boss with a smile, but, buddy, if you let these employees suffer any injustice, and they want to take down an evil capitalist like you, it won’t be as simple as cursing a few words like before.
But it seemed that, without even realizing it, the young boss had found a rare path in the Supernatural World.
——Wizard Reemployment.
Either transcendent beings or their relatives staff the company, which honestly holds a certain allure.
However, there are only a handful of people at the ‘Sorcerer’s Shelter’ now, and no matter what plans are made, that’s pretty much the extent of it.
Once everyone had settled down again, Lin An stepped forward.
It wasn’t really much of a “forward,” to be honest.
The location was an open, quiet clearing in the forest, surrounded by trees, with a huge rock in front serving as a natural screen wall.
This wall had now been transformed by the detective siblings into a flat wall surface, coated with paint, and used as an outdoor meeting room.
“I’ve said before…”
Lin An looked earnestly at everyone, including Chen Shuyun, who was curled up in a corner, “this is not only a home for everyone but also a place for mutual learning and advancement.”
“I hope to start by sharing my knowledge, to inspire others, and create an atmosphere where everyone can share wisdom.”
“Previously, everyone was curious about how I, a wizard, could also master the techniques of Witch-hunting Knights, and I promised to teach you.”
Disseminating the breathing skill techniques of the Witch-hunting Knights to wizards…
This was, in fact, originally part of Lu Jiao’s plans.
A chive garden, so to speak.
Seventeen Antler People, over twenty schools of thought—everyone hoped Lin An could help find someone to try practicing their own research.
But Lin An’s intention wasn’t just to make the Sorcerer’s Shelter into a chive garden for Lu Jiao. “First, I will discuss the techniques I have practiced and deemed appropriate for wizards.”
He picked up a piece of chalk, turned around and wrote on the stone blackboard—’Wizard Furnace’.
“This is the foundation, and it’s the most reliable path I’ve found,” Lin An said with a smile looking at everyone, “the President of the Shenhou City Witches’ Association, the Ghost-Face Wizard, once told me that the essence of a wizard is emotion, and the Furnace refines emotions. My studying of Witch-hunting Knight skills is like severing my own roots as a wizard.”
“So what should I do then?”
Lin An then wrote on the blackboard—’Second Furnace: Discipline of Wizard’s Will and the Furnace Core’.
He looked up at these two lines of words for quite a while before turning back to face everyone.
“This is the path I’ve planned for my future cultivation, which I’m now making public for your reference, hoping that it might provide you with some insights.”
As for what Little Boss had planned for the Sorcerer’s Shelter, Lin An didn’t know, nor did he mind.
It seemed that, compared to the Little Boss, he was more influenced by the Antler People.
He hoped for more colleagues to walk the same path, to study together and complement each other. He didn’t see his subordinates as chives or test subjects; each was an explorer in this confusing world. He simply hoped that everyone could walk along his path, supporting each other.
Influenced by Little Boss, he no longer liked to figure things out alone but sought more companions.
Many hands make light work, and knowledge passes from one to another.
“I’ve incorporated all the knowledge I possess into these two parts and plan to use them to refine the ‘Second Furnace’ and the ‘Third Furnace’.”
Lin An shared his thoughts without reservation, “The Second Furnace is the ‘Antler Wizard Furnace’, and the Third Furnace is the ‘Wizard’s Will’, each representing the path of exploration for Witch-hunting Knights and wizards.”
The Caidai Witch’s daughter, Caicai, looked up at Lin An curiously, raising her little hand high, “Great Commander, what is the First Furnace then?”
Lin An beamed a smile, “It is Will!”
“The will of the mind, the power to harness spirituality, the power to control the body.”
He turned again to the blackboard and wrote—’Emotion Digestion Theory’, ‘The Trinity Theory of Body, Mind, and Spirituality’.
“These two theories are what we will discuss today.”
The wind rippled through the treetops, making a soft rustling sound, and the occasional bird call added to the serenity of the forest.
Everyone here listened intently to Lin An’s explanations.
Even Little Boss seemed to enjoy the lesson, maintaining the pose of about to drink from a bottle of mineral water, which he had been holding for a long time.
“…When emotions are digested, where do they go…”
“We just talked about the relationship between the body’s internal organs and emotions… The body carries these emotions… But we know that emotions are the foundation of spirituality; the combination of body and spirituality is what Sorcerer Zombies are made of… Yet when we digest emotions, we don’t face the problem of turning into Sorcerer Zombies… Why is that?”
“Ah, the answer lies in the mind, its will invisibly dominates everything…”
“So we can use this to explore the most elusive power of the mind, which is…”
“…”
“…”
This class wasn’t just a monologue by Lin An; the most attentive student was Chen Shen, the detective siblings’ brother, who was the first to raise his hand to ask a question.
Soon everyone joined in the discussion.
Some offered answers, some provided real-life cases for certain thoughts, and some stood up to share their own ideas…
It was quite remarkable—although Lin An was the lecturer, he seemed to be the one learning the most.
Previously, thinking alone, even with spiritual aid for the brain, could not compare to the participation of wizards with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Chen Shuyun listened quietly at the side; she had become increasingly social-phobic, and just sitting there was already her limit. She really couldn’t stand up and discuss with everyone, only able to talk with Lin An alone after the class.
But for some reason, she vaguely felt that Lin An’s ‘Sorcerer’s Shelter’ might become increasingly significant in the future.
