Versatile Mage: I have 999 talents!

Chapter 140 Choosing a Gift, the Humble Craftsman Appears Again
(Thanks to Sky Mirror: Ningjie for the donation!)

Wang Feng strolled through the magical commercial district outside the auction venue, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of shop windows.

He deliberately avoided ordinary shops, only stopping in front of magical item shops that emitted elemental fluctuations.

After several successful acquisitions, he now has enough wealth to easily purchase several decent magical ornaments.

Wang Feng stopped in front of a boutique called "Elemental Charm"—every piece of jewelry displayed in the window exuded a unique elemental brilliance.

As I pushed open the door, the wind chimes rang out with a clear, crisp sound.

A shop assistant with a French updo immediately came forward, her sweet smile perfectly timed:
"What type of decorative magic items would you like to purchase, sir?"

"I'd like to pick out some gifts for the women in my family," Wang Feng replied.

"May I ask how old they are?" the shop assistant asked professionally.

"In his early twenties, not yet thirty."

The shop assistant nodded knowingly, turned around and took out a series of exquisite ornaments from the display case, arranging them neatly on the glass counter.

These accessories share a unified style yet each possesses its own unique characteristics, with each piece radiating a distinctive elemental energy.

"This is our latest 'Moonlight' series, perfect as a gift for sisters," the sales assistant explained.

On the counter, earrings shimmered with a water-like halo, necklaces were adorned with icy gemstones, bracelets were inlaid with tiny fire element crystals, and rings emitted a gentle glow.

Each piece of jewelry is exquisitely crafted and shimmers with a captivating brilliance under the light.

"What abilities do they have?" Wang Feng asked.

"These are the Moonlight Earrings. They are made with deep-sea pearls and moonstones, and they have the effect of continuously releasing a moisturizing aura and keeping the facial skin hydrated and elastic," the salesperson said, picking up the earrings that shimmered with a watery halo.

Then, pointing to the necklace, he said, "This is the Moonlight Necklace. It is made of polar snow crystals and silver threads, which has the effect of slowly purifying skin impurities and brightening the complexion."

Then, pointing to the bracelet, he said, "This is the Moonlight Bracelet, carved from spiritual spring crystal. It has the effect of regulating body surface temperature and preventing the skin from becoming oily and sweaty."

The effects of magical artifacts such as rings and hairpins were then introduced.

Without exception, they are all magical artifacts with maintenance capabilities.

After listening to the shop assistant's detailed introduction, Wang Feng's gaze lingered among the exquisite ornaments.

He had originally planned to purchase some practical combat-type magical artifacts, but he changed his mind at this moment.

These magical accessories, which combine beauty and skin-nourishing effects, might be more appealing to girls.

"Are there any other styles, but with similar effects?" Wang Feng asked.

The shop assistant paused for a moment, but maintained her sweet smile: "Of course."

The shop assistant brought out several sets of magical accessories, with various styles such as four-leaf clover, maple leaf, rose, and butterfly. However, their effects were similar to the Moonflower series, all focusing on beauty and skincare.

The sets of accessories are also quite similar, with some hairpins being replaced by hair clips and bracelets by bangles.

Without exception, all of them were quite stylish.

"That's right, how much does a set cost?" Wang Feng asked.

He could already picture these ornaments on Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao.

"Ten million euros for a set," the saleswoman replied with a sweet smile.

Wang Feng calmly took out a black card and lined it up on the counter: "I want all five series."

The shop assistant's fingers paused slightly, then her smile widened even more: "Yes, sir, it'll be ready for you right away!"

Her fingertips trembled slightly with excitement as she received the crystal card. This was because she received a commission for every piece of jewelry sold here.

She originally thought Wang Feng was only buying one item, but she didn't expect him to buy five sets at once!

The commissions alone were worth a year's salary for her!

With practiced ease, she placed five exquisite beauty-enhancing magical artifacts into specially made moonlight silver gift boxes, each tied with a magic ribbon.

"Sir, would you like to take a look at any other items?" The shop assistant respectfully handed over the packaged gift box.

Wang Feng casually put the gift box into his spatial artifact and continued to ask, "Do you have any practical magical artifacts here? Like those that restore magical energy or store magic?"

“Artifacts that restore magical energy are extremely rare,” the shopkeeper said apologetically, shaking his head. “They usually only appear at auctions. As for storage-type magical artifacts…”

She hesitated for a moment, "Currently, there are only a few ornaments that can store basic magic."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng shook his head in disappointment.

Aside from basic black and white magic like healing, blessing, and shadow magic, most other basic magic is not very useful.

However, Wang Feng did not sense any fluctuations of black and white magic here, indicating that there were no such magical artifacts here.

Just as Wang Feng was about to leave, his peripheral vision was drawn to a pair of exquisite shield-style earrings in the corner of the counter.

This style seems to be usable for more than just earrings.

“These earrings,” Wang Feng pointed to the special piece of jewelry.

The shop assistant followed his gaze, and a smile returned to her face:
"Sir, you have a good eye. These are our [Twin Guardians] earrings, inlaid with water and light magic runes, storing two basic spells: 'Water Defense - Protection' and 'Radiant Purification'. Each earring can be used twice."

A glint flashed in Wang Feng's eyes. Without waiting for the shop assistant to continue the introduction, he directly took out his black card and slapped it on the counter: "I'll take it."

The clerk reacted extremely quickly, practically snatching the black card to complete the payment, fearing that the big spender might change his mind.

Then, carefully removing the earrings, she explained, "These earrings can be separated into two separate parts, so they can be used as earrings or as brooches."

Wang Feng took the beautifully packaged earring gift box and gently fiddled with the delicate clasp with his fingertips.

As the salesperson said, these earrings can indeed be separated into two separate parts—the upper part is a water-based magic pattern with a flowing aquamarine halo, and the lower part is a light-based crystal that emits a soft white glow.

“It suits her very well.” Wang Feng’s lips curled up slightly.

He remembered the pair of ordinary silver rings that Mu Tingying always wore, which would sway gently with her movements each time she served him.

If you were to wear these magical earrings, you would surely have a unique charm.

Although in his eyes Mu Tingying was just a little pet, considering how diligently she had served him these past few days, it wouldn't hurt to reward her with a small trinket to add some fun.

……

Just as Wang Feng stepped out of the shop, the evening bells of Paris rang eight times.

He was about to walk towards the auction when suddenly his brow twitched—a familiar spiritual imprint wave clearly emanated from him.

That was the tracking mark he left on the craftsman.

"Interesting." A dangerous smile curled at the corner of Wang Feng's lips.

The four-colored demon cores have already been obtained in Tokyo, and now the prey has actually delivered itself to our doorstep.

In the darkness, his figure dissolved into the shadows like ink, only his whispers drifting away on the wind:
"Master Feng Zhoulong, your gift for meeting you will be ready soon."
