The copper incense burner materialized on the table as if it had always been there, and Mia Calloway couldn't stop herself from letting out a sharp gasp.She had watched every second. She had been certain, absolutely certain, that Mr. Johnson had no way to bring that burner back without her noticing. There was no cloth, no cover, no moment where her attention had slipped. She had tracked his hands, his posture, and the angle of his shoulders, watching his every movement with painstaking attention. Yet despite having observed him so carefully, she now found the burner sitting there in plain sight, solid and undeniable before her eyes.Was she imagining things?Mia pressed both palms flat against the table and leaned forward, running her fingers over the surface of the burner. The cool metal was real beneath her touch, the familiar weight and texture exactly as she remembered. This was the same piece she had handed him minutes ago. There was no question about that.

"What!" The woman in business attire never expected Glen's magic trick to happen so suddenly, with absolutely no preparation required. He simply reached out, pressed his hand down, and that massive bronze incense burner vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.She let out a startled cry and jumped to her feet. Her hands immediately flew to the spot where the burner had been, patting and feeling around the surface. Only after confirming that nothing remained did she turn to stare at Glen with wide, disbelieving eyes. "How is that even possible? How did you do that? Where could the burner have gone?"Glen felt supremely satisfied with the performance he'd just pulled off. Flawless execution, if he said so himself.He was getting better and better at using the Upgrade Chest to create these mystifying illusions. In the past, he'd had to physically pick up an item before summoning the Upgrade Chest and placing the object into one of its storage slots. But recently,

The Skyline Grand Hotel executive seemed to read Glen's hesitation. A faint smile crossed her lips as she began to explain. "Here's the situation. Tomorrow is my grandfather's eightieth birthday, and I'll be attending his celebration to offer my respects. The problem is, I still haven't figured out what gift to give him. Year after year, it's always the same old things. There's absolutely no creativity anymore." She paused, her gaze sharpening with interest. "If your magic skills are genuinely good, I'd like to ask you a favor. Tomorrow, during the gift presentation, I'll hand the birthday gift to you beforehand. Then, in front of everyone at the banquet, you'll make it appear out of thin air. That way, even if it's just an ordinary gift, it'll seem incredibly unique and memorable, don't you think?"Glen blinked in surprise. He hadn't expected this kind of request. This woman's imagination was something else. Using magic as a way to make her gift stand out? That was actually pr

Glen Johnson could see the issue clearly. To craft even a basic low-quality Health Potion, he first needed to use the Material Synthesis function to combine various fruits. The problem was that five different types of fruit were required, but he only had three daily uses of Material Synthesis. On top of that, to keep the restaurant running smoothly and advance his Class Advancement Quest, he had to maintain a steady supply of green onions, ginger, and garlic. Right now, business was slow enough that one synthesis batch of those seasonings could last several days. But if things picked up, a single batch might be gone in a day. That would leave no room to synthesize fruits for potion-making.The solution was obvious. While business was still manageable, he needed to stockpile synthesized fruit as quickly as possible. He still had one free use of Material Synthesis today, and he couldn't afford to waste it. He'd pick a fruit type and get it done as soon as he had a moment. If he p

Wendy Cross didn't say a word. She simply stared at Glen Johnson in stunned silence, her expression frozen somewhere between shock and disbelief.Her mind, however, was racing. From the very beginning, she had assumed Glen was just another down-on-his-luck line cook with a bit of talent, someone so desperate for work that he'd agreed to stay at her risky little establishment even knowing the dangers that came with it. But the more time passed, the clearer it became that Glen was far more than just "a bit talented."First, there was his cooking. His skills were extraordinary, the kind that could land him a head chef position at any luxury hotel without breaking a sweat. So why would someone with that level of ability choose to stay in her modest, unremarkable diner, risking his safety for minimal pay?Glen had mentioned once that he didn't have any culinary certification, which supposedly meant other restaurants wouldn't even give him a shot, let alone an interview. Bu

When Wendy Cross challenged Glen Johnson to make the soup bowl disappear, he felt no pressure whatsoever. Compared with the ordinary stage tricks Nolan kept talking about, this was simply another use of the Upgrade Chest, and Glen knew no one in the room could see through it. Still, he decided to make the performance look deliberate. If he treated an impossible feat too casually, it would only make Wendy and Nolan more suspicious of him.He reached out and lifted the large soup bowl with both hands, then called out with exaggerated alarm, "Whoa, this is scalding hot! This might be a bit tricky to pull off!"Seeing that Glen was actually going through with it, Wendy hesitated again. "Hey, it really is burning hot, isn't it? Maybe you shouldn't try this. I don't want you to get burned."Glen waved off her concern with a casual grin. "It's fine. This trick is genuinely difficult for beginners, but for me it's pretty standard stuff. Watch closely now. The moment of miracl
