Chapter 176: Witch's Coin Game

~8 min read 1,489 words

The exhibition area is in the center of the Talent Market, a building that looks very much like a grand theater.

Dorothy and the others walked straight in and found some empty seats in the audience area.

After studying it carefully, the Home Witch discovered that a small crystal ball control hub was embedded in the armrest of each seat.

Out of curiosity, Dorothy reached out and touched this crystal ball hub. She channeled a little mana into it, and a piece of information was fed back.

This was the user manual for this hub.

"Okay, so it's just a remote control."

After digesting this information, Dorothy suddenly realized.

It turns out that the stage in the center of the grand theater uses space-folding technology, and multiple different stage spaces exist simultaneously. Audience members in the seats can use this crystal ball hub to freely switch between the stages they want to watch.

Yeah, it's just like changing channels on a TV; you can watch whichever one you want.

Of course, each stage has its own theme. For example, some stage themes are combat, so the alien race talents performing on this stage are often powerful and good at fighting. Also, for example, some stage themes are art, so the alien races on this stage might be proficient in all kinds of arts.

In short, witches with specific needs can freely choose which stage they want to watch.

At the same time, if you take a fancy to any alien race, you can also vote through this crystal hub. After that alien race's performance ends, all the witches who voted for them can start "bidding."

However, this bidding segment is a bit interesting. In the end, the alien races act as their own auctioneers, and they have the right to choose one person from the bidders as their follower.

Tsk, it can only be said that one really needs ability to gain respect. In this "Talent Market," which is essentially selling alien races as goods, such a "human rights" system actually appeared. This is truly rare.

However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be that much about human rights. After all, these alien races can't get the information of the witches, so when it's their turn to choose, the only thing they can look at is the bid of the bidding witches. Generally speaking, the highest bidder still wins in the end.

In essence, this is still an auction, not a mutual choice between two equal parties, but at least it looks slightly more equal.

To this, Dorothy couldn't help but shake her head.

She wasn't feeling indignant for these alien races, but because she had just had a massive hemorrhage from her wallet, she really couldn't afford to bid much more. If it really went to the highest bidder, she might have to return empty-handed today.

"Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well watch and broaden my horizons."

The Home Witch comforted herself, and then began to manipulate the crystal ball remote control to "change channels."

"Wow, as expected of the art area, this mermaid lady sings really well, but I choose Mana Web music."

"Huh, there's actually a beauty pageant area? My god, these ladies are really good-looking, but I'm enough of a vase at home for now. I can't afford to keep more. If I want to see beauties, I might as well look in the mirror."

"Talent area, this is good, not bad, not bad. This elf lady's potion technology is good, and she's good-looking too. If I summon her back, at least she can be a potion assistant."

"The dwarf's alchemy over there is also okay, but the dwarf's system of 'everyone is a little girl' is really not my cup of tea. I'm a fan of mature women."

"Hmm, the Titan giant lady next to her is not bad, and she's also good at alchemy, but this is too big."

Because she had no goal at all, Dorothy just switched channels aimlessly. However, she still remembered the Law of Surprise game and kept looking for a target that met the conditions, but she had no harvest.

"Tsk, fate is indeed hard to fathom."

Dorothy sighed, and then took a gold coin out of her bag, which made Fafna on her shoulder's eyes light up.

"Didn't you just eat? It's not good for a child to be overstuffed, and this is a commemorative coin, not food."

The Home Witch scolded this bottomless gold-swallowing beast, and then looked at the gold coin in her hand.

This was a gold coin minted in the God King era, with a twelve-winged archangel wearing armor and holding a holy fire sword imprinted on the front.

This was the appearance of the God King.

And the back of the coin showed a scene of two angels, both with twelve wings, fighting each other. One of them, the God King with flaming red wings and feathers like fire, was on top and had the advantage, holding a holy fire sword and making a thrusting motion.

And the other angel, with pure white wings and feathers like holy light, was on the bottom and at a disadvantage, holding a light shield in one hand and a light sword in the other, in a standard defensive posture.

This recorded the scene of the God King's decisive battle with the King of Angels from Heaven, the Lord of Radiance, who is still a tourist attraction today.

The minting of witch gold coins is usually done by era, and the patterns on the gold coins are all selected from sensational events in the Witch World during that period.

Therefore, the gold coin in Dorothy's hand is indeed an antique. It represents a gold coin minted shortly after the God King conquered Heaven in the early days of the witch's rise, with a history of more than 100,000 years.

This was found by the Home Witch in an ancient ruin when she was adventuring in the ground world with Adam. She naturally couldn't bear to spend such a commemorative coin with collection value, and such ancient objects that have experienced long years can effectively stimulate her time-space talent, so this gold coin also became her magic tool for divination.

Yes, that's right. Anyway, since she was idle, she decided to do a long-lost divination to see if her intuition would give her face today.

"Then let's begin."

Dorothy flicked her thumb, and as the gold coin flew up, the Home Witch's gaze moved along with it.

Because fate is hard to fathom, she isn't very comfortable using many traditional divination techniques in the Witch World, and those divination techniques are too troublesome, each one full of ritual, requiring bathing and changing clothes in advance, burning incense and praying, preparing a bunch of materials, etc. —it's too slow.

Dorothy simply thought up a divination technique herself, which is the one she is using now, named "Witch's Coin Game."

And it's quite simple to use: think about the thing you want to ask in your heart, and then flip the coin. The front of the coin represents success, and the back of the coin represents divination failure.

After success, you can get some inspiration, and after failure, it's naturally just a failed divination.

However, don't think about using skills to influence the flipping of the coin, because when the coin leaves the hand and flies toward the sky, the power of fate has already flowed onto it, and it's hard for external forces to interfere.

It is worth mentioning that this is also one of the few "flop" spells in the Witch series, and its sales on the Mana Web are somewhat bleak. After all, the threshold of high intuition qualification plus time-space talent is truly too discouraging, and it's not just the high threshold—the learning difficulty is also nine rings, which is simply fatal.

This led to the comment section being filled with: "I can't learn this high-end operation of the big shots," "I'm a loser and really can't do it," "I have A-level intuition but still can't learn it. Is this really a spell, not a scam?", "I have time-space talent, but it really doesn't work. I see this Forest Witch is about to fall from the altar."

However, Dorothy had no thoughts about this. Anyway, as long as she felt comfortable using it, who cares about the altar or not?

"Yay, front side. It seems today's intuition is indeed powerful."

When the coin fell back into her hand, Dorothy looked at the pattern on the gold coin and couldn't help but smile.

Then, the next moment, her eyes became hollow, and the brilliance of time-space and fate flowed within them.

Thick fog instantly blocked the Home Witch's sight, but through this fog, she could vaguely see some flickering images.
