"Ethan, you're actually a spatial mage too?", When the Genie Sylas saw the crows filling the sky, he quickly came over to join in, "Didn't expect you to be a genius too."
"Even if he's a genius, he's still my disciple. What's it got to do with you?"
"Tch!", Genie Sylas immediately shot back, "Don't forget, he already admitted I'm his second master. Besides, you already have one genius disciple. Shouldn't this little girl go to me instead?"
Nostradamus naturally refused, "Taking disciples has always depended on ability. Why should I give her to you?"
"Because I'm more capable than you," Genie Sylas argued.
"I'm also relying on the fact that this is my disciple's girl. If I'm not using her myself, why would I let you use her," Nostradamus flew into a rage and pointed at the Starry Sky Staff in Ethan's hand, "I originally planned to give this Starry Sky Staff to my little disciple. You don't even have a single Starry Sky Stone. What decent gift could you possibly bring out?"
"Who says I don't have good stuff?"
Genie Sylas became furious when he heard that. Right after that, Ethan saw the golden teapot flying in midair suddenly spray out several items.
Soon, those things floated one by one in the air.
A mage robe.
A pair of shoes.
A Starry Sky Stone necklace pendant.
A pair of Starry Sky Stone earrings.
A long-sleeved robe.
A pair of Star Moon pants.
"Heh! Heh!"
After spitting everything out, Genie Sylas looked at Nostradamus proudly and said, "You think you're the only one with equipment for spatial mages? I have some too, and plenty of it."
"Hah!", Nostradamus immediately replied, "Those are obviously just general mage equipment. I'm talking about gear specifically for spatial mages. Do you have any? Do you? Do you?"
"How do I not?"
Genie Sylas waved a hand and directly grabbed the Starry Sky Stone pendant along with the robe and pants, "Aren't these? They're all made from A-rank Starry Sky Stone and can amplify spatial magic! What right do you have to look down on them? And this too…"
"Star Moon Pants."
Genie Sylas grabbed the blue pants covered with stars and moons and said, "These are the newest and most popular Star Moon Pants in the magic world, designed by the famous designer Coco Aramani. There are only ninety-nine of them, and you had to rush to buy one."
"Not only that, they also speed up mental power recovery, increase elemental affinity, and raise attack speed."
"If I wasn't close with Old White, I wouldn't have been able to get one at all."
As Ethan listened to Genie Sylas's introduction, the more he listened, the stranger it sounded.
He even started thinking that it sounded way too much like some advertising scam.
'And what newest design?'
'Something that was the newest style a hundred years ago is already an antique now, alright?'
Only when Genie Sylas said the last sentence… Did Ethan finally realize it.
So Genie Sylas had been tricked by Mister White. He was probably just trying to fool him into paying a high price for those Star Moon Pants, which was why he made up so many tricks and made it sound like the pants were such a great deal.
It was basically no different from the online stores in his original world. Limited sales, a pile of listed advantages, all kinds of marketing tricks.
But in reality, it was just a very ordinary pair of mage pants.
"Second Master, can I ask something…"
Ethan felt no pressure at all calling Genie Sylas "Second Master."
Every time, it felt like he was scamming him. But Genie Sylas looked very happy and smiled at Ethan, "Ask what? Go ahead, go ahead. I'm your master after all, so helping you understand things is only natural."
"Well, I want to ask… how much did you pay for those Star Moon Pants?"
"Uh…"
Genie Sylas clearly didn't expect Ethan to ask that.
A trace of awkwardness appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said, "You don't need to know that. They're limited edition anyway. Just know they weren't cheap."
"Hah! So you spent money on a pair of useless pants," Nostradamus sneered from the side, "And who told you that besides the Starry Sky Staff, I don't have other good stuff?"
As he spoke, also waved his giant stone pillar-like hand, and a row of light spheres floated into the air.
There were even more than the amount Genie Sylas had taken out.
It looked especially impressive.
But when Ethan looked carefully, he realized Nostradamus was much sneakier than Genie Sylas.
Because among the so-called spatial mage equipment he brought out was a pair of cyan-blue Starry Sky Stone earrings, but he deliberately split them into two separate light spheres to make it look like there was more equipment.
And not just the earrings. Ethan also noticed there were talisman papers mixed in to pad the numbers.
There was also a brooch.
Of course, there was also a mage outfit set.
But no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a male mage outfit. The equipment also looked a little too large and somewhat old.
'Could it be…'
'That Nostradamus even took out his own equipment just to accept Nini?'
Ethan was suddenly shocked.
'Still, these good items…'
One of them was now a stone man, while the other didn't even have a physical body.
If he didn't use these things himself, leaving them with those two would just be a waste.
Ethan rubbed his chin and started thinking, about how to trick both of them out of all their stuff.
Only kids make choices.
Adults…
'I want everything!'
["Didn't you say before that you'd do things for me?",] Ethan secretly transmitted his voice to Nini, ["Now the chance is here."]
When Nini suddenly heard a voice inside her head, she immediately looked at Ethan in surprise.
But Ethan quietly made a shushing gesture.
After all, neither Nostradamus nor Genie Sylas knew that he had once studied "The Art of Language: Techniques for Spiritual Communication." With that thing, he could use abilities similar to telepathy or voice transmission to communicate with people or non-humans.
So the moment he saw Nostradamus and Genie Sylas take out so many good things, he immediately had Nini cooperate with him to scam these two hidden and stingy rich guys together.
"Ah…"
Nini heard this and immediately looked like she wanted to speak but held back.
Only then did Ethan continue instructing her, ["Don't make a sound. Don't react at all. Just pretend you didn't hear me. From now on, just do exactly what I say."]
Nini lightly nodded after hearing that, showing she understood.
Right after that, she very smartly lowered her head and pretended not to look at Ethan.
Genie Sylas and Nostradamus were busy arguing, so neither of them noticed that the little disciple they were desperately fighting over had already joined Ethan's side and was secretly planning together with him to scam their masters.
