   Reader note

   The author's descriptions of people and environments are very delicate. I don't usually like reading stories with female leads, but I feel the romance between the male and female leads in this book is very well written, and the plot is top-notch. I'm currently waiting for updates every day. I've spent over 4000 hours reading across all websites, so I think my taste is pretty good. The plot is roughly about the protagonist transforming from an ordinary person into a superhuman with some kind of cheat-like ability (I don't know exactly what it is, the author hasn't explained yet). He's recognized for his talent by a teacher at an academy and enters a school in a "new world" (a completely different world from his previous impoverished rural home), where he begins his cultivation (this is where the plot really starts to move forward, a bit slow-paced and slice-of-life, which is my favorite part). There's a lot more to say than this, so I won't go into detail. The cultivation system in this book is also very interesting, but it's too complicated to explain here. Highly recommended!

    "Can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Amidst the bustling traffic and flashing neon lights, a sexy woman in red leaned against the riverside railing, silently scrolling through videos, when she was suddenly startled by a clear, youthful voice. "Sorry, it'll be quick." A boy named Zhou Ke appeared beside her, his expression utterly innocent. The woman raised an eyebrow, somewhat wary, but when Zhou Ke opened his palm, she hesitantly handed him her phone. Zhou Ke took it, tapped the screen a few times, and quickly brought up a picture—a coin. The woman frowned, wondering what he was going to do. "Actually, I'm a street magician. I'm practicing magic." "In a moment, I'm going to conjure this coin from my phone." The woman's eyebrows gradually relaxed, watching Zhou Ke with interest: "No problem, little magician, let's begin." Zhou Ke's fingertips slid across the screen, a flash of cold metal. The next second, in Zhou Ke's left hand, a one-yuan coin faintly reflected a silvery light. The woman's eyes widened, letting out a gasp of surprise. Two seconds later… *Snap snap snap!* "That was amazing!" The woman clapped. In the distance, some passersby were also drawn by the commotion and couldn't help but come closer. Zhou Ke bowed elegantly, "Thank you for your compliment." Neon lights cast dappled reflections on the river, and the evening breeze, carrying the scent of the river, brushed against the stray hairs on Zhou Ke's forehead. He stood beside the woman in red, a harmless smile on his lips, his fingertips lightly tracing the screen of her phone. "Actually, I'm a street magician. I'm practicing magic." Zhou Ke's voice was as clear as a mountain stream. "I'm going to conjure this coin from my phone in a moment." The woman in red raised an eyebrow, her red lips slightly upturned: "No problem, little magician, let's begin." Zhou Ke's right index finger tapped the screen a few times, bringing up a picture of a coin. His left hand rested seemingly casually on the railing, his sleeve slightly drooping, obscuring the blue light flashing from a specially made watch on his wrist. "Please watch carefully, ma'am." Zhou Ke's fingertip swept across the screen, a flash of cold metal light appearing instantly. The next second, a one-yuan coin appeared in his left palm, reflecting a faint silver light under the neon lights. "Wow!" The woman exclaimed, covering her lips with her red-nailed fingers. "That's amazing! How did you do that?" Zhou Ke smiled shyly and handed her the coin: "Just a little trick. Thank you for your cooperation." He bowed slightly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the green indicator light on his watch light up, saying "Data transfer complete." The woman was still excitedly examining the coin, trying to figure out the secret. Zhou Ke had already calmly returned the phone to her and turned to blend into the crowd strolling along the riverbank. Three minutes later, Zhou Ke turned into a quiet alley. He took off his baseball cap, pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from his pocket, and put them on, instantly transforming from a sunny young man into a refined student. At the end of the alley, an inconspicuous gray sedan was parked, its window slowly rolling down to reveal a delicate female face. "Got it?" Lin Yue chewed gum, her fingertips tapping lightly on the steering wheel. Zhou Ke opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, taking a miniature storage device from his sleeve and tossing it to her: "Simpler than expected. She didn't even set a fingerprint lock." Lin Yue inserted the storage device into the car's computer, and data immediately began scrolling across the screen. "Tsk tsk, this woman is Zheng Ye's assistant; she has a lot of good stuff on her phone." She blew a bubble, "The professor will be satisfied." Zhou Ke looked out the window; the neon lights were fragmented by the alley walls. He remembered the woman in red's surprised expression, and a sudden discomfort rose in his stomach. "What mission is it this time? Stealing trade secrets?" "Don't ask so many questions." Lin Yue started the car, "The professor wants to see us tonight." The car drove away from the bustling city center, heading towards the suburbs. Zhou Ke leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest. Three years ago, he was still a student at the magic academy. After a street performance, he was spotted by the "professor" and joined "Phantom"—a mysterious organization that used magic tricks to carry out special missions. They don't kill or commit arson; they only steal information, disrupt transactions, or subtly alter the course of events. Members are rigorously trained and proficient in various magic techniques, often more effective than traditional espionage methods in special operations. "We're here," Lin Yue's voice pulled him back to reality. The car stopped at the back door of an abandoned theater. The old building, constructed in the 1930s, was dilapidated on the outside, but its interior had been transformed into the "Phantom" base. Zhou Ke followed Lin Yue through a dimly lit corridor to a room with a sign that read "Props Room." Lin Yue knocked rhythmically five times—three long and two short. The door opened. In the center of the room stood an elderly man with gray hair, dressed in an elegant three-piece suit, toying with a deck of cards. This was "The Professor"; no one knew his real name, only that he had once been one of the world's greatest magicians. "Children, you've come at the perfect time." The professor's voice was deep and magnetic. With a flick of his wrist, the playing cards disappeared. "Zhou Ke, your performance today was excellent." Zhou Ke nodded slightly: "Thank you, Professor. However, this task was too easy. I don't understand why I needed to intervene personally." The professor picked up a tablet computer from the table and pulled up a surveillance video. In the video, a middle-aged man was operating some kind of complex equipment in a laboratory. "Zheng Ye, CEO of Yehua Technology, ostensibly researches artificial intelligence, but in reality, he's developing a dangerous technology called 'Memory Weaving.'" Lin Yue leaned closer to the screen: "What does this have to do with us?" "It's extremely important." The professor zoomed in on the screen. "This technology can precisely modify a person's memories, even implanting false experiences. If it falls into the wrong hands..." Zhou Ke gasped: "It's equivalent to a mind control weapon." "Exactly." The professor closed the video. "Intelligence shows that Zheng Ye has already contacted an international organization, preparing to sell this technology. Your mission is to get close to him, obtain all the information on 'Memory Weaving,' and destroy the laboratory if necessary." Lin Yue whistled: "Sounds much more exciting than stealing a phone." "Zhou Ke," the professor turned to him, "you will be applying as a magician to perform at Zheng Ye's daughter's birthday party. According to intelligence, Zheng Yuqing is fascinated by magic." Zhou Ke frowned: "Just that simple?" The professor smiled mysteriously: "The charm of magic lies in the complex design hidden behind seemingly simple things." He pulled a coin from his pocket, the same kind Zhou Ke had conjured up that night. "Like this one, it appears to be a magic prop, but it's actually a data transmission device." Zhou Ke took the coin, pressed it gently, and a miniature interface popped out from the side. "I see..." "Zheng Yuqing's eighteenth birthday is in three days, and Zheng Ye is looking for a magician to perform." The professor handed him a document. "This is the invitation and all the background information you need." Lin Yue patted Zhou Ke on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll back you up. How about we call this operation 'The Magician's Hand'?" The professor nodded in satisfaction: "Very fitting. Remember, a magician's greatest weapon isn't skill, but the audience's trust. If you can get the Zheng family to believe you, the mission is half successful." It was late at night when they left the theater. Zhou Ke stood in the empty parking lot, gazing at the starry sky. He remembered the nervousness and excitement of his first stage performance, that pure joy of bringing surprises to the audience. Now, magic has become his weapon, and the stage his battlefield. His phone vibrates; it's a text message from an unknown number: "Interview with the Zheng family tomorrow at 3 PM. Address sent. Dress formally. —Lin Yue." Zhou Ke takes a deep breath and tosses a coin into the air. The coin traces a silver arc in the moonlight, disappearing from his fingers as it falls. Just like the mission he's about to embark on—beneath its seemingly simple surface lie countless unknown dangers.
