Chapter 6: Becoming an Apprentice?

  Nina quietly closed the door and walked towards the lawn beside the barbecue, while walking, she was still thinking about the extremely mature eyes that Lin Feng had cast on her earlier, combined with the words of the great magician just now, Nina's heart finally couldn't help but start to doubt.

  Although Lin Feng is her only child, at least she understands that no matter how talented a kid is, their age is still there. A 10-year-old kid can't possibly have such mature eyesight.

  Moreover, she suddenly remembered that because she had been waiting for the marquis to personally name her son, her son had not had a name all along. However, when he was only two years old, he was suddenly told to be called "Lin Feng", such a strange name. At that time, she didn't think much about it and was still eagerly awaiting the marquis's letter. In this state of anticipation, eight years passed in the blink of an eye, and she hadn't seriously thought about her son's naming matter either.

  Taking all these into consideration, Nina finally realized where Lin Feng was wrong.

  Sitting on the lawn, Nina thought for a long time, her face changing constantly. But in the end, a determined look finally appeared on her face. She clenched her fists and muttered to herself: "My son is a genius, a genius, always different from other children."

  Compared to Nina's complicated emotions, Lin Feng, as the person involved, didn't think much of it. After his mother brought him over, little Lin Feng innocently tilted his head and looked at the great magician: "Respected Great Magician, I was right, wasn't I? The strange abilities on my body have nothing to do with my origins."

  "What is it related to?"

  The great magician seemed to have noticed the loophole in Lin Feng's words, and his body leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the thin child in front of him.

  "I don't know either."

  Lin Feng gazed fearlessly at the great magician: "It's as if I was born with control over this ability."

  "Alright, kiddo, let's assume everything you said is true."

  The great magician did not see anything out of the ordinary on Lin Feng's face, and in his heart he kept telling himself that he was just overthinking things. A ten-year-old child, what kind of lie could they possibly tell? Maybe... this little guy in front of him really is a genius!

  But just as he thought of this, the great magician suddenly had a movement in his heart and couldn't help but look at Lin Feng again: "But why do you know that your strange ability is called 'electric current'? And your name also makes me curious, of course, I can understand, with that identity, you won't continue to let yourself be named 'Park' anymore, but why did you give yourself such a strange name as 'Old Dad'?"

  "Uh..."

  When Lin Feng heard the great magician's words, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. At that time, he had given himself this surname on a temporary whim, and this surname was undoubtedly also a kind of irony towards the crowd around the bar.

  He was living a normal life in his own world, an orphan but just like everyone else in that world, he ate, slept, went to work, fell in love and received his monthly salary.

  But one day, I was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness by the doctor. At that moment when I needed help most, my girlfriend left me. Under the pain, my condition rapidly deteriorated. Just as I was being pushed into the operating room, my heart had already stopped beating. But in the operating room, the doctor still used a defibrillator to give me cardiac resuscitation, but unfortunately, it was too late to save my life.

  It was only when he opened his eyes again that he suddenly found himself, just like in the plot of a novel, actually crossing over into another world. Moreover, perhaps due to the electric shock he received before dying in that other world, he had gained the ability to control electricity, but this power didn't bring him much joy.

  Because his misfortune from the previous life continued into this one, he, who possessed a fully mature mind, although inhabiting an infant's body, quickly discovered his awkward identity and pitiful mother after becoming familiar with the language of this world.

  Combining the miserable experiences of his past life, he had an extremely low mood that didn't care about anything in his heart. Even more so, after witnessing his mother being treated coldly by the old steward and three other marquise ladies in the mansion, he grew to detest living under their gaze. Thus, driven by this rebellious sentiment, he suddenly had a wild idea to give himself the surname "Old Daddy" in the tavern. In his mind, since no one in this world could understand Chinese anyway, why not just have some fun and amuse himself?

  He hadn't expected the great magician in front of him to ask himself this question, so for a moment he couldn't react. However, after a brief stunned silence, Lin Feng quickly found an excuse: "Respected Great Magician, I believe you also understand that someone with my humble status wouldn't be able to receive a name from Marquis Pak personally. Although I'm young, I still need a name, right? One day, I had a strange dream and when I woke up, I kept repeating the sound 'Lin Feng Lao Die'. That's how I got my name, according to my mother. As for 'Electric Current', that's what I named it myself."

  Lin Feng calmly told a lie.

  "Alright, this is your private matter after all."

  The great magician raised an eyebrow, but didn't continue to ask any more questions. In his opinion, there was no reason not to believe what a ten-year-old child said, and the child's name had no significance to him either. His interest in Lin Feng lay entirely in Lin Feng's strange abilities.

  The great magician thought seriously for a moment before continuing to Lin Feng, "You know that in your situation, going out alone is hopeless. And I'm sure you want to get justice for your beautiful mother, don't you? I can help you with these things, but as a return favor, let me study this thing called 'electricity'."

  "Help me? How can you help me?"

  Lin Feng did not immediately respond to the Great Magician, but instead raised his own doubts.

  "It's simple, before you come of age, I'll take care of your and your mother's daily expenses. Moreover, in order for you to have the ability to avenge your mother in the future, I can be your teacher and teach you magic. However, you should know that not everyone can become a magician. If you don't have the potential to become a magician, I can also send you to the town's martial arts academy. There, if you perform well and reach the level of a 4th-level warrior, you'll be able to produce internal energy. Later on, if you can reach the level of a 6th-level warrior, you'll even receive an imperial title of 'Knight', although this title is only for life."

  The great magician made an effort to curve the corners of his mouth, making himself appear more amiable: "Of course, if you have a talent for learning magic, then you can also follow me and be my apprentice. I will do my best as a teacher."

  "Alright, esteemed great magician, please allow me a moment of consideration."

  Lin Feng saw the great magician nodding and couldn't help but start thinking...

  Taking on the daily expenses of myself and my mother sounds quite tempting, but leaving that Marquisate which restricted my mother's and my personal freedom, I'm not without a way to make a living with some experience from my previous life.

  However, having just come out of that closed Marquis's estate, I'm not even familiar with the world around me. If there wasn't someone to guide me, it would be difficult for me to survive...

  And also, magician? Warrior? Sounds pretty attractive!

  If I can become a powerful magician, then I'll have the chance to avenge my mother and even kill that annoying bastard, Marquis Carson!

  But...

  If I really have a talent for learning magic, then if I were to take this old man as my master now, wouldn't I still need to knock three loud heads?

  Lin Feng couldn't help but think of the countless scenes in martial arts novels where characters would "kowtow and acknowledge their master", and a chill ran down his spine.

  In his previous life, he had never done such a thing as kowtowing to an unrelated big living person!
