Oh, so it was Hermione.
Louis nodded imperceptibly. "Hello, Hermione."
"Wilson? Magician? What's your relationship with John Wilson?" The girl's father, Mr. Granger, asked.
"That's my grandfather, a very great magician." Louis showed a modest smile.
"Incredible, I really enjoy your grandfather's magic." The man was somewhat excited. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Could it be that old Mr. Wilson is also a wizard?"
"No, he's not. My grandfather is an ordinary person, and as I just said, I also come from an ordinary family." Louis said with a smile.
[You have deceived an adult dentist with exceptional observation skills. You gained 60 Trick Points.]
[You have deceived an underage wizard. You gained 150 Trick Points.]
[Current Trick Points: 830]
[You have made contact with a wizard. The second category of lottery is now unlocked - Premium level, 500 points per draw.]
The system notifications appeared before his eyes, almost making Louis unable to maintain the calm expression on his face.
It wasn't just because the second category lottery had been unlocked, but also because of the Trick Points Hermione had provided.
An underage wizard could actually provide so many Trick Points!
The reason Louis had stopped the Granger father and daughter was to test whether deceiving wizards would yield more Trick Points, and he hadn't expected it to be confirmed!
These points were even higher than what he got from her father - the wizarding world was simply heaven for Louis.
But this heaven was blocked by an insurmountable chasm, because he was a Muggle and couldn't go to Hogwarts to study.
Damn it, could he only deceive Harry Potter during winter and summer vacations each year?
Louis felt unwilling to accept this.
Wait, things didn't seem to have reached an irreversible point yet.
A flash of inspiration struck Louis's mind, and he suddenly had a bold idea.
However, this idea couldn't be implemented right now. Louis planned to bid farewell to Hermione.
"Could we exchange addresses? If there's a chance, I'd like to write to you." Louis said with a smile. "I should head back now, but I don't want to miss this chance encounter."
He flipped his palm and imperceptibly pulled out a banknote from one of his pockets.
As a magician, he was always in the habit of carrying all sorts of odd things on his person. For instance, Louis had seventeen pockets all over his body, containing glass balls, pins, tissues, fake fingers, and a whole series of magic props that weren't visible from the outside.
"Why not just exchange phone numbers?" Hermione asked.
"This is how wizards communicate - they use owls to send letters, just like our Hogwarts letters." Louis explained.
Hermione found this very interesting and happily wrote down her address on the paper, handing it to Louis. Louis also took a piece of paper and scribbled on it, but in the end handed Hermione a blank sheet.
"Eh? Is your pen out of ink?" Hermione asked, looking at the paper.
"Of course not." Louis pinched a corner of the paper in Hermione's hand, pulled and shook it, and flames swept across the paper, leaving behind a charred address.
"Looking forward to our next meeting." Louis politely bowed slightly, waved goodbye with Hermione's family address in hand, and left.
Hermione blinked, happy to have made a friend. She carefully put away this special contact method, but when she looked up, she saw her father looking at her with a strange expression.
"I get the feeling that boy is up to no good," Mr. Granger said, stroking his chin. "Don't let him trick you."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Hermione rolled her eyes and punched Mr. Granger's stomach lightly. "I'm just curious whether Louis just used magic or a magic trick."
"It should be a magic trick, right? Didn't that professor who can turn into a cat say magic requires that stick thing?"
"It's called a wand!"
[You used a simple magic trick to confuse an underage wizard. You gained 200 Trick Points.]
Back home, Louis glanced at the system's notification log, then focused his attention on his point total.
1030 points - enough for either one ordinary ten-draw or two premium draws.
Although the ten-draw was very tempting, Louis felt you get what you pay for - a premium draw worth 500 points should be more high-end than an ordinary draw worth 100 points.
"Let's go with the premium draw then." Louis made up his mind.
"System, premium draw, twice."
Following Louis's command, the vast starry sea appeared before his eyes again, except this time the stars filling the sky had turned golden.
Two golden lights blazed up, nearly blinding Louis. After the light faded, two items emitting a soft glow appeared before him.
First was a ring set with dozens of emerald green gem fragments, called [Portable Private Space Transfer Point].
According to the description, this was essentially the spatial rings common in novels, except the principle was different. Those were personal spaces, while this was a personal transfer point, with the space fixed somewhere unknown.
However, the effect was the same, and this portable transfer point had higher security - it wouldn't lose stored items if destroyed, and only needed to copy a ring to reactivate it.
Of course, Louis didn't have this technology now and could only hope future draws might provide it.
The second item was quite special - it was actually an eyeball, one with a red base and black patterns. This familiar appearance immediately made Louis shout out a name.
"Holy crap? Sharingan?"
