Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God

1990, London, Trafalgar Square

The bustling crowd formed a big circle, all of them were young people who came out to play.

The gathered crowd and the cheers attracted more and more passers-by like a magnet.

Surrounded in the center was a young boy about ten years old.

He had black hair and black eyes, and was particularly handsome. He had a typical oriental face, but he was dressed in a standard jazz outfit – a white pleated shirt with a black tank top, a black cape with a red background, and a black top hat on his head, showing his chic demeanor.

At this moment, a deck of playing cards seemed to come alive, flying and jumping between his flexible fingers.

Shuffling, cutting, and pulling the cards, every move was extremely skillful, and the playing cards seemed to have turned into fluttering butterflies, attracting cheers and applause from the surrounding audience.

Finally, the boy slapped the entire deck of playing cards on the table, making a crisp”pop” sound.

“”Beautiful lady,” the boy spread his hands to show that he had no hidden cards, and then smiled and said to the brown-haired girl in front of him,”Please turn over the top card.”

The girl, who was about the same age as the boy, was also one of the spectators.

She was just chosen by the boy to cooperate with the magic, and at this moment, she was carefully picking a card from the top of the deck.

When she saw the card, her eyes widened and her face was full of surprise.

“Come, show the cards in your hand and the note you wrote before.”Let everyone see, is the pattern on the card the same as the animal you wrote?”

“”Yes… yes.”

The girl’s voice trembled a little. Like a robot, she mechanically raised the card in her hand.

There was no number or color on it, but a cute white cartoon cat head pattern.

Then, she took out the note she had written three minutes ago from her pocket. On it was written”Cat” in beautiful handwriting.

Then, she caused a burst of exclamations as expected:

“Wow, this is amazing!”

“How could it be a cat pattern? How did he do it?”

“Could there be someone who supports him among the crowd?”

“That’s impossible! It’s clearly a normal deck of playing cards, how could it create a cat pattern?”

“I’ve said it before, Magician Linney is the best magician!”

“Linny, well done!”

……

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, and the audience cheered for the boy named Linny

“Thank you, thank you for your love.

The boy held his hat and bowed gracefully.

“According to the original plan, today’s performance should have ended here.”

He looked around and continued:

“But this lady, like me, has a special liking for cats, which is indeed a rare fate. So I decided to perform another magic trick for everyone.”

The boy showed the top hat in his hand to the audience and put it on the ground.

Then he looked at the girl with a charming smile on his face,”Then, can you put the card in the hat?”

Seeing such a handsome peer smiling at her, the girl was a little dazed for a moment, until her father patted her gently on the back, and then she came back to her senses.

“Oh… OK.” She put the cards into the hat shyly.

“”Thank you for your cooperation, my lovely lady.”

The boy’s voice was full of magnetism, and he kissed her hand exaggeratedly.

The girl’s cheeks became redder and her heartbeat accelerated.

Then, the boy took off his cloak and covered his hat with it, and waited quietly for five seconds.

The scene suddenly fell into a brief silence.

“Then, it’s time to witness a miracle.”

He suddenly opened his cloak, and a white and golden kitten gracefully emerged from the hat.

It had a pair of bright purple eyes and a star-shaped mark on its face, which made it look very cute. There was a big cyan checkered bow tied behind the kitten’s neck, and in the center of the bow was a crystal cyan glass bead, which sparkled with charming light.

All the characteristics of the kitten were exactly the same as the cat on the previous card.

The cat actually emerged from the card!

The next moment, the crowd burst into applause and cheers that were ten times louder than the last time.

“Amazing~！”

“That’s amazing!”

“The boy is a real genius!”

“I love your performance!”

……

“Thank you, everyone. Today’s performance is really over!”

The boy bowed to everyone, announcing the end of today’s performance.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and many people threw money into the hat on the ground, mostly 10, 20, and 50 pence coins, and occasionally one pound, two pound coins and five pound notes.

Whenever someone gave a tip, the boy would express his gratitude, and the white cat would nod to the tipper, and even waved cutely with its little paws. The cute appearance of the cat, which was in line with human nature, undoubtedly further ignited the audience’s enthusiasm for tipping.

Many people were obviously ready to leave, but when they saw this scene, they had to come up and tip a little, just to see the cat thank them.

Of course, the cat was not stingy with being cute to them, but whenever someone pushed too far and wanted to touch the cat, it always dodged smartly.

This just-right aloofness made it even more likable.

When the crowd completely dispersed, The boy then began to organize the magic props and the money he had collected.

In fact, what he called organizing was just throwing things into the hat at once, playing cards, scarves, roses, coins that were not thrown into the hat… In short, there was no classification at all, and he didn’t care about the size of the things.

And this hat was like a bottomless pit. No matter how many things were stuffed into it, it never looked full.

Soon, the boy threw the last coin into the hat, and then put the hat on his head casually.

During the whole process, nothing spilled out of the hat, as if all the items stuffed into the hat had entered another space.

The boy stood up and was about to leave, and the white cat immediately jumped up lightly, and climbed up the boy’s trouser legs and skillfully onto his shoulders.

The boy smiled dotingly,”Okay, okay, I’ll carry you and walk. You little lazy guy, you’re starting to enter energy-saving mode again.……”

In this way, the boy and the cat strolled on the street, chatting with the cat as they walked.

“We made a lot of money this time, at least 150 pounds. Thank you for your hard work, Linnet.”

“Meow~!”

“Come to think of it, every time I perform so hard, I only earn about a hundred pounds. But you, as long as you act a little cute, the audience will line up to give you money… What kind of world is this?”

“Meow~~”

“Yes, yes, I am a useless master, and Linnet is the cutest”

“Meow meow!”

“Got it. I’ll buy you your favorite scallops this time too.”

“Meow!”

“Hey, Linnet, tell me… Why can’t we find anything to collect after traveling here for so long? Is that damn system lying to us?”

“Meow?”

“Forget it, forget it. You won’t understand such complicated things even if I tell you. Just be cute.”

The boy sighed and ended the small talk.

That’s right, this boy is not a native of this world, but a time traveler.

His name is Ye Ting, and Lini is just his stage name for performing magic.

About eleven years ago, when he was playing a game about the advent of darkness, he suddenly traveled to London in this world and turned into a baby, who was adopted by an orphanage.

Along with him, there was also a [Great Collector System].

As the name suggests, as long as he collects anything that the system recognizes as having collection value, he can get rewards.

The source of the rewards is the game of the advent of darkness before he traveled through time. As a time traveler, Ye Ting easily got along well in the orphanage and became the king of children loved by adults and admired by children. However, the orphanage was full of people who loved him and loved him.

Life in the orphanage was not easy either.

Mrs. Thatcher’s neoliberal reforms have re-intensified the gap between the rich and the poor in the British Empire, the capital of capitalism.

A large number of welfare benefits have been cut, and a large number of state-owned institutions and enterprises have been privatized. Even public welfare institutions such as orphanages have suffered.

In order to avoid a hard life in the orphanage, and also to have a chance to obtain”collections”, Ye Ting fled the orphanage when he was about nine years old. His only companion was a kitten born to an old cat in the orphanage.

Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. Until now, he has not been able to find any collection that meets the requirements of the system.

He can support himself and his cat with street magic, all thanks to the novice gift packs given by the system: [Eye of God·Black-spotted Cat] and [Eye of God·White-tailed Cat]】
