Marvel's Omniverse Magic Controller

Chapter 65: The Wind Chant Glasses

"150,000J?"

George's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected that the small bag he had created using the Undetectable Extension Charm, which only expanded to about two square meters, could fetch 150,000J at a magic shop.

150,000J was a considerable sum in this world. Most of the magical items in this shop were priced below 100,000J, and few exceeded 50,000J.

For an ordinary person, 150,000J could provide a comfortable life for several years.

As for this small bag, if he wanted, he could easily make hundreds of them in a single day. This meant that his clone in this world would never have to worry about money again.

However, after some thought, he dismissed this naive idea. Scarcity increases value. If he produced too many, they would lose their worth and could even attract unnecessary trouble.

Having enough money was sufficient. For now, his primary goal was to lay low and focus on learning magic.

It was remarkable how some spells from the Harry Potter world could be so useful. The Undetectable Extension Charm had indirectly granted him financial freedom in this world.

"200,000J. Not a penny less!"

George's eyes gleamed as he reached out and took the small bag back into his hands.

The old man didn't hesitate at all. He quickly pulled out a box from under the counter and counted out a thick stack of bills, handing them to George.

"Alright, 200,000J it is. Here's 212,000J in total. Please take it!"

Even at 200,000J, the old man could easily resell it for a profit of over 100,000J. It was a pure profit, and he was making a killing.

"You're not even going to haggle?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's quick agreement, George realized he had probably undersold the bag. However, while he pretended to be disappointed on the surface, he didn't really mind.

For him, the small bag was something he could create effortlessly.

"How about this, sir? Today, everything you buy in my shop will be 20% off. What do you say?"

Afraid that George might change his mind, the old man quickly added.

"That sounds fair."

George took the money, tossed the small bag onto the counter, and began browsing the shop.

The magic shop wasn't large, but it had a wide variety of items. He saw many enchanted swords, armor, and various magical items, as well as basic magic books and magazines.

He wasn't interested in the swords, armor, or similar items. Not only were they unsuitable for his cat form, but even if he could transform into a human, he preferred not to engage in close combat with weapons. It was too dangerous—he was a mage, after all.

Instead, he focused on the magic magazines, books, and magical tools.

The magic magazines mainly covered the activities of the major guilds in the kingdom's magical world, which would help him better understand this world and the Fairy Tail guild in particular.

The magic books were mostly introductory texts on basic magical knowledge, the classification of magic, and its history.

The magical tools had a wide range of functions, from everyday use to combat applications.

"How much for these Wind Chant Glasses?"

After some browsing, he quickly found a magical tool that piqued his interest.

According to the description on the counter, wearing the Wind Chant Glasses while reading would allow the user to scan five pages per second, significantly speeding up the learning process.

Since he needed to learn the magical system of this world from scratch, he would have to read many magic books. If the Wind Chant Glasses worked as described, they could greatly enhance his learning efficiency.

"Sir, you have a keen eye. This is one of the best magical tools in my shop. It costs 50,000J, but with the 20% discount, it's only 40,000J."

Seeing that George had picked one of the most expensive items in the shop, the old man beamed and hurried over from the counter.

Aside from the Fairy Queen, who was a big spender, this was one of the largest sales he had made today.

"Pack this along with the books and magazines I picked earlier."

George didn't bother haggling further and simply waved his paw.

Ten minutes later, the old man placed a package nearly half George's height in front of him.

"That'll be 80,000J in total. With the 20% discount, it's 64,000J. If you need it, I also have a magical cart—"

"No need."

George cut him off, paid the money, and cast a Levitation Charm on the package. He then spread his wings, hooked the package with his tail, and left the magic shop.

As he walked through the streets, the townsfolk would occasionally glance at him curiously, but no one stopped or gathered around.

In this world, George's appearance wasn't particularly unusual.

He found a decent inn, paid for three days in advance, and settled in with his purchases.

In truth, with his current cat form, he could have easily found a spot in the woods outside the city to stay. But he saw no reason to rough it.

Since he had money, he might as well live comfortably. Having someone prepare food and drinks for him was far better than living in the wild like Jinjin. His body might be that of a cat, but his soul was still human.

Over the next few days, he planned to not only familiarize himself with the basics of this world's magic but also use the magazines and conversations with locals to learn more about the Fairy Tail guild.

He wanted to join Fairy Tail to learn more powerful magic, but he couldn't just show up at their doorstep without some understanding of the guild.

If he found that Fairy Tail wasn't suitable for him in some way, he could always look for another mage guild.

There were many mage guilds in this world, and several were on par with Fairy Tail. There was no need to limit himself to just one option.

"Let's test if this thing really works."

Sitting on the bed in his inn room, he put on the Wind Chant Glasses. Although they didn't fit well, they were still usable.

Picking up a thick book about the types of magic in this world, George channeled a bit of magic into the glasses.

Instantly, several small magic circles appeared on the glasses. As he looked through them at the book, the words seemed to imprint themselves directly into his mind without the need for careful reading.

He quickly flipped to the second page, and the same thing happened.

It was as if, as long as he could flip the pages fast enough, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to read or digest the information.

A book that would have taken him days to finish could now be completed in less than an hour using the Wind Chant Glasses.

However, after finishing, he felt a slight dizziness in his head.

According to the old man's earlier explanation, it was best not to use the Wind Chant Glasses for more than two hours a day, or else the user's brain would become extremely fatigued.

But George, with his psychic abilities, felt he could handle three or four hours.

Despite this drawback, he felt the pros far outweighed the cons. A book that would have taken days to read could now be finished in an hour. Even if he could only use the glasses once a day, his efficiency had increased several times over.

Moreover, during the cooldown period, he could engage in other activities, such as practicing and experimenting with magic, or digesting the knowledge he had gained from reading.

"Once I reach a certain level of proficiency in this world's magic, the first thing I'll learn to make is this magical tool!"

Taking off the Wind Chant Glasses, George made a silent vow.

If he had had such a learning tool at Hogwarts, he could have read through the thousands of books in the library before graduating, becoming the most knowledgeable wizard in the magical world.
