The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 112 Magic Telescope, Expanding Bubble Fish

Umbi knew he was afflicted with a wizard's inner demon and needed to eliminate Lin Wei to completely dispel it. However, Lin Wei had few friends in the organization besides Dora; he was usually either in class or cultivating in his own courtyard, leaving him with no opportunity to strike.

"Come on, don't lose them. Let's follow them from a distance." The last silent wizard apprentice reminded them, his eyes revealing caution, and jumped onto the small boat first.

As Angbi said, all four were experienced second-tier wizard apprentices, and capturing Lin Wei wouldn't be difficult. The reward Angbi offered was generous, making it worth the risk. If anything happened in the Endless Sea, they could simply pin it on the sea creatures; afterwards, the organization would have a very difficult time investigating, as the rules always have loopholes. Unless Lin Wei possessed a sensing tool given by a wizard of the Tower Master's level, but the probability was too low, and the group immediately dismissed it.

The group slowly followed Lin Wei's route. To the rest of the port, apart from their formidable strength, they seemed no different from the other teams.

……

At this moment, on the endless sea, Lin Wei was on the deck keeping watch. The sea breeze blew gently, ruffling his hair. He held onto the railing with both hands, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

"Strange, I have a feeling like something's watching me." Lin Wei scratched his head, his brows furrowing slightly. "But I can't sense it very clearly. It seems to be coming from behind?"

"Turing Island is behind us. Is this hostility from within the organization?" Lin Wei's heart tightened, his body tensed slightly, and his hands unconsciously gripped the railing.

"Forget it, as long as they're not formal wizards, I'm not too afraid of ordinary wizarding apprentices." Lin Wei pondered for a moment, his eyes revealing determination, and came to a conclusion.

However, he remained cautious, only casting a thin, transparent line into the sea. The line sank slowly in the water, like an invisible snake.

"I'll just throw one out first. With my current strength, throwing out two wouldn't be a problem, but it would distract me," Lin Wei said quietly. As he spoke, he slowly lowered the transparent thread into the sea, his fingers gently pinching the thread, his eyes focused.

In the distance, the small boat carrying Ambion and his companions followed closely behind. The sea was rippling, and the boat swayed gently with the waves. One of them took out a magical telescope from his backpack. The telescope had a unique design and was engraved with mysterious runes. He carefully held it in his hands and looked at it.

"This kid is fishing for sea creatures normally now. This magic telescope of mine is engraved with natural light magic marks. It's a custom-made model, so it won't be detected even when observing from a distance." He added, adjusting the telescope's focus, a smug look on his face.

"Let him wear himself down first, just in case he has some trump card up his sleeve," another wizard apprentice nodded and said, crossing his arms and leaning forward slightly, looking at the telescope in his hand with some envy.

After saying that, he took out a book, found a place to sit on the deck, and began to read it carefully, occasionally gesturing with his hand to indicate the titles on the page.

"No problem, just keep up. Everyone wait a bit longer. There are still quite a few other organizations' ships around here." Eager for revenge, Angbi nodded in satisfaction. He gripped the gunwale with both hands, his eyes fixed on Lin Wei's ship ahead, his gaze revealing his eagerness.

"By the way, Gore, your magic telescope must have been expensive, right?" Ombi turned to look at Gore, who was holding the telescope.

"It wasn't cheap. It cost over a hundred points, which is my savings from many years of work," said Gore, the wizard apprentice holding the telescope, somewhat proudly, as he gently wiped the surface of the telescope with his hand.

"You're willing to spend money on things other than cultivation?" muttered the remaining wizard apprentice, who sat at the stern, idly swinging a fishing rod.

"Just a hobby," Gore chuckled, a sly glint in his eyes. He was a deep thinker who enjoyed prying into other people's privacy, and this telescope suited his taste perfectly.

The group fell silent and began to meditate on the deck. With the magic telescope, they weren't afraid of losing track of them. A gentle sea breeze blew by, carrying a salty, damp scent.

Not long after, Lin Wei's transparent thread made a sound.

"A sea creature has taken the bait?" Lin Wei's eyes lit up. He was diligently practicing his breathing technique, but he immediately interrupted his practice because the water cannon technique was his trump card, and he couldn't practice it when the enemy and friend were unknown.

Lin Wei pulled hard on the thin thread, gripped it tightly with both hands, and leaned back slightly.

puff!

A strange fish, bulging like a bear, was caught and pressed down on Lin Wei's limbs. It looked bloated and somewhat like a pufferfish, its body trembling slightly in the sea breeze.

"What kind of sea creature is this?" Lin Wei's eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape. He had never seen such a large fish before.

A message pops up in the gray area of ​​the Rubik's Cube's information.

【Name】Inflated Bubble Fish

[Brief Description] A mutated air sac fish species with special internal organs that can store gas. Its skin is tough. It inflates rapidly when threatened.

[Radiation Level] Second-Class Wizard Apprentice

[Strength Analysis] Weak Level

[Key Takeaways] 6

[Collectible] Elastic airbag membrane

"So this is the bubble fish. The elastic air bladder membrane that fell off is worth a lot of points. It can be used to make waterproof bags, and many people are looking to buy it at the market." Lin Wei suddenly realized. He scratched his head. "Let me poke it and try it out."

As he spoke, he transformed into a silver-armored lion, much larger than the inflating bubble fish. Its silver fur fluttered slightly in the wind, and it swung its claws out, though it only used a third of its strength.

boom!

The deck collapsed, and Lin Wei was thrown back. His body drew an arc in the air. The inflated bubble fish shrank considerably, and a hissing sound came from it. It rolled on the deck and continued to press down on Lin Wei.

"It's a bit troublesome. This expanding bubble fish has thick skin and is difficult to deal with physically. But it didn't do much damage to me. Under a full-force attack, it wouldn't last more than two minutes. But for now, I have to pretend to be a second-class wizard apprentice and save two-thirds of my strength." Lin Wei got up, dusted himself off, and continued his attack. His acting was very realistic. He dodged and punched at different times.

For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand. Apart from the expanding bubble fish gradually shrinking, the waves crashed against the hull of the boat, making a "bang bang" sound.

In the distance, Gore, holding a magic telescope, watched the movements on Lin Wei's ship with some astonishment. His mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were wide open.

"A bubblefish? This guy's lucky. The air sac membrane of that fish is valuable," he muttered, tapping his fingers lightly on the binoculars.
