"Hmm..." Fors' eyes darted around, and she said with great interest, "Quantity is fine, I can perform in crowded places, but quality..."

"Hmm, you mean Spectator with good eyesight or those with Beyonder? But if that's the case, the Trick will be easily exposed, right?" She rested her chin on her hands and looked at Lorry.

"..." Lorry smiled and continued:

"That's true, so we need to make up for it with the latter two points."

Second, try to divert the Spectator's attention as much as possible.

"Using facial expressions, language, actions, and even other Trick, they subtly attract the Spectator's attention while concealing their true purpose."

Fors felt he had vaguely grasped something, and his new ability quickly surfaced in his mind. He nodded thoughtfully.

Then, she tilted her head slightly and asked:

"And the third one?"

"Third..." Lorry picked up the "Gulu Tree Sap" and took a sip, whispering, "Be fully prepared before the performance."

"For example, the general performance flow, the Spectator's possible reactions, how to guide them at each stage, and how to make up for mistakes, etc."

After saying that, he asked with a smile:

These are just empty theories; whether they can be realized is another matter.

"So, what are your thoughts after listening?"

"Uh, my opinion..." Fors blinked, "Does it count as you being very capable...? Even the teacher's guidance wasn't as detailed as yours."

Upon hearing this, Lorry showed a helpless look.

"Well, what I was actually thinking was, maybe I could..." Fors cleared his throat, a sudden inspiration striking him, "Apply for a part-time job at the Circus Troupe."

"Yes, a ' Trickmaster ' should stay in the Circus Troupe!"

This is often the case: once you figure out a key point or get some inspiration, problems that seemed very difficult before can be easily solved.

Fors was clearly in this state, and his thoughts were becoming increasingly clear:

"A good Circus Troupe will never lack a large Spectator, and I can learn performance techniques from ordinary people who are professionals."

"The only drawback is that there may not be many high-quality Spectator, but the sheer number of viewers more than makes up for it."

"In that case, I estimate I'll be able to digest the Potion very quickly."

Finally, she added, "What do you think?" The girl's blue eyes sparkled as she looked directly at the man opposite her.

Actually, when it comes to digesting Potion, quality is more important than quantity... Thinking this, Lorry couldn't bear to disappoint the lady's expectations, so he smiled and nodded, saying:

"A very good method."

"If it can be implemented well, it should be digested in about one or two months."

One or two months... uh, so fast... I thought it would take at least three or four months... Fors's blue eyes flashed with satisfaction, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Just then, she heard a soft laugh from the other side:

"However, I have an even faster way. Would you like to hear it?"

Faster... faster than one or two months... Fors slightly widened her blue eyes, racking her brains but finding herself without any ideas, and said reproachfully:

What do you think...?

Lorry glanced back at the wall clock, Fors followed his gaze, seeing that the hands were stopped at 2:40.

He looked away and chuckled softly:

"I'm going back to the Factory later. Could you help me sell some things? How about that be your payment for this?"

uuɡu. First update, no typos. You won't see the pinyin suffix in the address input. You can then access the first update site.

"Of course, the reward isn't just this; there's also a decent Sealed Artifact."

After she finished speaking, Fors pursed her lips, remained silent for a few seconds, and then whispered, "But... even without payment, I would still, and am willing to, help you."

Lorry's smile froze on his face.

He slowly composed himself, took a deep breath, and smiled again.

"Sorry, I misspoke earlier. To be precise..."

"These are gifts for your Advancement ' Trickmaster,' and regardless of whether you helped me or not, they belong to you."

Fors pursed her lips and remained silent.

After a long pause, he hummed softly:

"Insincere..."

"Who knows which of your words is true... Nothing you said is entirely true... There's no truth in the ' Swindler ''s' mouth..."

Uh... Lorry smiled wryly to himself, unable to help but complain inwardly to Emperor Roselle and Klein, "Why don't you two offer some useful experience?!"

He was a womanizer who turned his diary into a chronicle of his romantic adventures, but the problem was that his experience didn't suit the local environment in Loen.

another?

He never got involved with anyone, and by the very end, he had never seriously held hands with a member of the opposite sex.

Two disgraceful transmigrators... especially the latter one... Lorry grumbled inwardly for a long time, only to realize that in the end, he still had to solve the problem himself.

He lowered his head and remained silent for nearly half a minute before taking out the "Demoness's Makeup Mirror":

"This is the Sealed Artifact I was talking about."

"I intended to keep it for you from the moment I got it; you can listen to its capabilities and negative effects first before judging the truth of the previous statement."

Fors sat quietly, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Seeing this, Lorry quickly spoke up:

Its name is "The Demoness's Makeup Mirror," or you could call it "The Magic Mirror," but I suggest you use the former name...

Backlund time, 3 PM.

Above the Gray Fog, inside an ancient and mysterious palace.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool ~ Good afternoon..." The opening remarks of the Tarot Club were still the cheerful greeting from "Justice" Audrey.

As an "Spectator," she keenly noticed a woman's figure appear beside her friend, the "Magician," in the Real World, and immediately adjusted the order in which she greeted him:

Good afternoon, Mr. "The Hanged Man"~ Good afternoon, Mr. "The Sun"...

Finally, her gaze fell on the faces of the new members.

"The Hermit" Cattleya nodded and introduced Self:

"The Hermit."

"Justice." Audrey responded with a slight smile, "Good afternoon, ' The Hermit ' lady."

"Good afternoon," Cattleya Justice politely, then glanced around the Bronze Long Table. "Good afternoon."

The addition of new members slightly altered the Tarot Club's progress, but it quickly returned to normal, ushering in the reading time for "The Fool."

After a moment, Klein nodded slightly with satisfaction and smiled, saying:

"You may begin."

"Moon" Emlyn impatiently inquired about the characteristics of Sanguine Baron, prompting "The Hanged Man" Alger, who almost exposed his identity, to inwardly grumble.

After finalizing the deal with "The Moon," Alger the Hanged Man looked at Fors and engaged in some not-too-intense bargaining.

Finally, the two reached an agreement on a price of £2,300.

With a smile, Fors said, "I've recently acquired a Sealed Artifact, but I'm not quite sure of its value. I hope everyone can help me appraise it."

She looked toward the head of the Bronze Long Table: "May I, Mr. Fool?"

Klein nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and said with her smile unchanged, "Its name is ' The Demoness's Makeup Mirror,' and its Beyonder Ability is..."
