34 -34: Young Man, Do You Want to Learn Black Magic?_1

Mu You tried to get the character to push the door open.

[You want to push the door open, but unfortunately, the front door of the Witch’s House is sealed by a magic lock.

Despite all your efforts, you can’t open even a crack.]

“A magic lock as expected!”

Unsurprisingly, Mu You opened the panel and clicked ‘Unlock Heart’.

[You want to forcibly unlock the front door of the Witch’s House using the unlocking spell, but due to the extremely high level of the witch’s enchantment, the chances of unlocking it successfully are only one in a hundred thousand.

Do you still want to try?]

“Sigh, one in a hundred thousand…”

Mu You’s temples twitched slightly.

Indeed, the lock set by the witch was something.

Even a high-level unlocking spell only had a one in a hundred thousand chance of success.

This simply shows how powerful this witch is!

“Confirm.”

Mu You clicked confirm.

If it were someone else here, they would certainly have given up already.

A chance of one in a hundred thousand is nearly zero after all.

But he had the Time Pocket Watch, so he could still give it a shot.

[You tried the unlocking spell, but unfortunately, the door didn’t budge, and the unlocking failed!]

“Rewind!”

[You tried the unlocking spell, but unfortunately, the door didn’t budge and unlocking failed!]

“Again!”

[You tried the unlocking spell, but unfortunately, the door didn’t budge and unlocking failed!]

…

And like this, Mu You embarked on his infinite journey of unlocking and rewinding.

Pressing the pocket watch didn’t drain any energy, and after rewinding time, the used magic power also recovered.

Time always remained within this five-second range, so there was no need to worry about the passage of time or the exhaustion of magic power.

Theoretically, all probability-based elements lose their meaning in the face of the Time Pocket Watch.

No matter how low the probability, anything that isn’t zero can be turned into 100% by trying an infinite number of times!

– Of course, the prerequisite is that he must have enough patience and willpower.

Mu You soon realized that he had somewhat underestimated the concept of one in a hundred thousand.

While the Time Pocket Watch could rewind many things, the one thing it couldn’t rewind was his memory.

After tens of thousands of repetitions, the toll on the mind was unmatched!

In the beginning few hundred, even a few thousand rewinds, Mu You’s mind was still working clearly.

However, when the number of attempts quickly escalated into the tens of thousands, his consciousness started becoming cloudy.He easily slipped into the state of zoning out amidst the endless repetitions.

Mu You had lost count of how many times he had rewound.

Thousands of times?

Over a hundred thousand times?

Nevertheless, he kept pressing the pocket watch and mechanically clicking ‘confirm’ on his phone.

Those simple actions, repeated countless times, had turned his brain into mush…

Just as Mu You was about to mentally collapse from this, the unchanging scenario finally started to show some changes for the first time.

[You tried the unlocking spell, the door suddenly opened a crack, unlocking successful!]

“Hmm….”

Mu You’s finger was already on the button of the pocket watch, almost ready to press it down.

Luckily, his reaction was quick enough to stop the action which made him break out in a cold sweat.

After looking at it several times and confirming it was indeed a success and not a hallucination, Mu You’s eyes welled up with tears – after over a hundred thousand attempts, he had finally succeeded!

But even though this thing was successful, Mu You swore to himself, unless absolutely necessary, he would never try this mentally exhausting task again!

After taking deep breaths and gulping down a large glass of water, Mu You recovered and hurried to return to the game, guiding his character into the house.

Even if the witch was sleeping at home and would turn him to ashes in her anger after discovering an intruder, he must go and look around, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to justify the mental abuse he had endured!

[You push open the door and enter the Witch’s House, only to find the building empty and desolate.

Both the floor and all the table surfaces are covered with a thick layer of dust, the walls are turning yellow and black, the books on the rotten shelves are all moth-eaten and tattered, and there isn’t a single book in good condition, even the ceiling corner is touched by thick spider webs– every little detail indicates that this place hasn’t been inhabited for a long time!] ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

“Hmm…”

Mu You was taken aback, how long had the witch been gone from home?

It must have taken several years for all the books on the shelf to be gnawed by insects, right?

He had originally thought that the witch had only stepped out for a moment and would soon return, or at the very worst, had taken a few months off to travel, but would still return to check in.

It seems now that this was not the case at all.

Not returning home for several years, the witch must have either died outside or settled down elsewhere…

“However, the game hasn’t given a notice of inheriting orphaned properties.

She’s probably still alive, right?” Mu You thought, and promptly ordered his character to ‘search’.

[You search around the house and discover five bottles of intact poison in the potion room!]

[Witch’s Poison: A lethal potion specially made by the witch to deal with werewolves.

The smell of the potion is fatally attractive to werewolves.

After drinking, lifespan decreases by 5, if drunk by werewolves, lifespan decreases by 10.]

“Poison!”

Mu You’s eyes lit up at the latest prompt in the game.

He immediately found the poison he needed, and five bottles at once, at least his coming here wasn’t a waste of time!

Mu You hurriedly clicked ‘search’ again, hoping he could find some other treasures.

[You search around the house, but unfortunately all items have rotted or spoiled.

You found no usable items.]

[Pumpkin Lamp Special Effects, activated!]

[Under the green glow of the Pumpkin Lamp, you discover some peculiar traces in the basement of the Witch’s House.]

[A corner of the basement that should be empty reveals the faint outline of an invisible cloak under the light.]

[When you lift the cloak, you discover it’s an invisibility cloak!

And underneath the cloak, there’s a well-preserved book!]

[You have obtained ‘Invisibility Cloak’ and ‘Anseni Vivian’s Black Magic Research Diary’.]

“Oh?”

At first, Mu You wasn’t expecting much after the first sentence; but unexpectedly, the Pumpkin Lamp, which had been quiet for the past couple of days, suddenly gifted him a big present!

The invisibility cloak, its use don’t need to be explained.

As for the second item…

“Anseni Vivian, this should be the witch’s name…

But Black Magic Research?

Doesn’t black magic usually represent evil?

So this witch is a researcher of black magic?”

Mu You looked a little peculiar.

Of course, this was not a problem for him, no matter if it’s black magic or white magic, as long as it could make him stronger, he would welcome it!

Mu You eagerly clicked on ‘research diary’.

A hard cover book box, three inches thick, appeared in his hands, with ‘Black Magic Research Diary’ imprinted on the cover in the Star Spirit Language.

“Such a thick book…

how many magic spells does this record!”

Mu You swallowed, feeling like he had discovered a dragon’s treasure.

With a deep breath, he opened the book box with excitement.

And then…

It’s empty!

It’s actually empty inside!!

Staring at the empty box, it took Mu You a solid half a minute to recover: “What’s going on?”

The excitement turned out to be a letdown, ending up just an empty box, hidden under an invisibility cloak, is this some joke to mess with him?

Mu You felt an impulse to burn the box right there and then.

But he was eagle-eyed.

After picking up the box, he quickly noticed a line of small characters in Star Spirit Language was engraved at the bottom of the box.

He hurriedly took out the Star Spirit dictionary to translate it.

[Want to learn black magic?

Go find it!

A hundred miles outside of Anning Village in the Black Forest, go straight north and deep into the forest where there is a small wooden house.

I’ve buried everything there!]
