Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

162. Request a half-day leave

Take half a day off

Sigh... Two groups of district leaders came to inspect the area in just one week, and two more are coming next week. Our unit is swamped with work. Even the smallest things require meetings, and there are all sorts of documents, reports, and online articles to prepare. There's also a major cleaning, and we even have to watch the toilets, afraid the leaders might see us urinating outside...

We don't know why they don't seem to have any serious business to attend to!

I really can't finish writing before midnight, so I'm asking for half a day off. I'll update at 6 PM tonight.

I definitely won't cut it; I don't even want to ask for leave, for fear of affecting the intelligent push notification system.

Since its release, subscription performance has been steadily improving, much better than I expected, and significantly better than the previous book.

I have to thank my friends for their continued support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Chapter 162 is getting intense; I can see fish slices!

Nuozhadu Reservoir in Lancang County, Yunnan Province.

This is the largest reservoir on the Lancang River, surrounded by one of the world's top ten magnificent dams.

"The Lancang River is divided into eight levels, each with a reservoir and a dam, two of which are super-large reservoirs with a capacity of over 10 billion cubic meters."

Nan Jue's eyes were filled with longing and anticipation:

"I heard from the Western Army that the nation mobilized numerous high-level earth and water magic masters for its construction, not to mention countless low- and mid-level ones. The Lancang River is teeming with ferocious demons, so the Southern Army even dispatched a special force to clear the riverbed!"

Xu Fang stood on the high dam and looked down. He saw a torrent of water crashing down like a bolt of silk, a truly magnificent sight.

The dams in the magical dimension are not for generating electricity, but rather as powerful tools to defend against demons.

It is engraved with countless complex and ingenious formations, which even a full-force attack from a commander-level demon cannot destroy.

—This is the Great Wall over the Lancang River.

The pink pufferfish's habitat was also set up here.

To house these water eagles, local authorities have specially designated a breeding pond.

"Wow, so cute!" Nan Rongni said, linking arms with Nan Jue and pointing to one of them.

"Sister, look at that one, it's so pink and chubby! They're all huddled together playing games, it's so cute!"

Nan Jue's serious expression softened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "She is indeed very cute."

Jiang Yu stroked his chin: "It's a bit different from what we saw in Brazil; it seems smaller."

Indeed, the pink pufferfish playing in the breeding pool are only a little over a meter long, far from being slender, and are chubby, more like toy dolls.

"Because they are still young, they have only been born for a little over a year."

An unfamiliar voice rang out, and a middle-aged man with a long beard walked over with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zou Ming, and I am the breeder of these little guys. In your young people's terms, I am a cat owner."

He is a professor in the Department of Demons at Caiyun Academy, and this time he is in charge of breeding pink pufferfish to help them adapt to the water quality of the Lancang River.

Zu Jiming said impatiently, "Since they're still so young, why did we come so early? To change their diapers?"

“Of course not.” Zou Ming had a good temper and wasn’t angry at being contradicted by the young man. “In fact, although the pink pufferfish is only one year old, its reproductive organs are already fully developed and it can give birth to offspring.”

Everyone: "???"

Nan Rongni stammered, "So, these pink pufferfish are... *sobs*!"

She covered her face and hid behind Nan Jue.

"Tch, all pretentious." Lingling scoffed at this, her bright, watery eyes never leaving the surface of the water.

However, before she could get a good look, everything went dark, and Xu Fang's voice rang out above her: "Children aren't allowed to watch such unhealthy things!"

"This is a fish!"

"Fish slices are still slices, and those under the age of 18 are prohibited from watching."

"You're enjoying it yourself, so let go!"

"I am an adult."

Lingling's little tiger teeth were grinding together, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off Xu Fang's big hand, making her so angry that her teeth itched.

Xu Fang watched intently, occasionally sharing his viewing experience with those around him.

Zou Mingdao said: "Because they are only one year old, the female pink pufferfish is not large enough to give birth, so it takes nearly three months to drift downstream, hunt and grow."

In Brazil, the pink river dolphin has its own population, with strong adult males protecting the females. However, we don't have that here; for the next three years, a monk will have to escort it every year.

Xu Fang asked, "When do we set off?"

"About two days later."

······

That evening, the group rested in the military camp next to the reservoir.

The waves crashed against the dam, creating a continuous noise, occasionally mixed with the roars of demons.

Unable to sleep, Zu Jiming snapped, "Couldn't you have set up a soundproof barrier? How can anyone sleep with this noise?!"

"You're paying?" Xu Fang said lazily, "The Nuozhadu military camp is so big, setting up an array would cost at least nine figures. Young Master Zu, pay up!"

Zu Jiming was speechless. He was indeed the eldest son, but he only had so much liquid capital at his disposal.

Moreover, who would want to waste money on ordinary soldiers?

Xu Fang laughed: "What's the point of calling if you have no money?"

Zu Jiming roared, "You son of a bitch..."

Damn yellow hair!

Zu Jiming had been feeling frustrated all day; his teammates were all so clueless.

Nan Jue only has a military background and is not worth mentioning. Nan Rongni's Nan Rong family has all fallen into decline and is now wagging its tail as a dog of the Mu family. Only Jiang Yu is somewhat respectable.

—But what are Xu Fang and Lingling?

With absolutely no connections, why shouldn't they rely on themselves?

Jiang Yu tried to smooth things over: "Never mind, we're all colleagues, let's keep things peaceful..."

Waaaaaahh ...

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded outside, accompanied by a series of clanging metallic sounds.

"This is the military camp assembly order!" Xu Fang jumped up and quickly put on his clothes.

Back in the old capital, this kind of assembly call would ring out every few days.

After rushing out of the barracks, Xu Fang came face to face with Nan Jue, who was dressed in military uniform. The two stood on the dam, looking down at each other, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes.

demon!

They are all monsters!

Crowded in the reservoir, ranging from a few meters to tens of meters in size, they collided with and even attacked the dam!

"This density is probably comparable to that of Dongting Lake. No wonder the pink pufferfish needs a sorcerer to escort it!" Nan Jue said.

Demons are xenophobic. Without the protection of a strong person, the pink pufferfish would turn into fish bones before it even finished giving birth!

The military mages were quickly assembling, and the shouts of the officers could be heard from time to time.

"Stand in your designated spot!"

"Hurry up! Faster!"

"Is the black carp ready?"

After the soldiers had assembled, Jiang Yu, Nan Rongni, Zu Jiming, and others arrived late.

"Little demon, taste the poison!" Zu Jiming was looking for a way to vent his anger, so he raised his hand and began to draw a poison star map.

Before he could finish sketching, he was stopped by the military magistrate beside him.

Zu Jiming glared at him: "What are you doing?"

"Step back a bit, don't get in our way!"

"Obstruction? Do you even know that I'm a mid-level mage! Mid-level!"

"Silence!" The military magistrate showed him no leniency.

During the mission, let alone a mere mid-level mage, even a high-level mage would be of no use!

"Sluice gate number four is ready to open. Everyone, stand back!"

"Everyone back off! Back off!"

The ground suddenly trembled, and the huge sluice gate slowly rose, the water pressure creating waves of air.

The rebellious Zu Jiming was thrown off balance by the blast wave and was about to fall into the reservoir, his dark face turning pale with fright.

There are hordes of demons swarming down there!

Chapter 163 Fish Bomb?

At the critical moment, an icy chain flew out, tied around Zu Jiming's waist, and pulled him back.

Zu Jiming, who had narrowly escaped death, was panting heavily, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Idiot, didn't you hear me when I told you to step back?" Xu Fang cursed.

“You…” Zu Jiming was speechless after being rebuked.

The gate of sluice gate number four was fully opened, and surprisingly, the water flowing out was black.

Only under the light could one see that these were actually black fish with red spots, no more than a few dozen centimeters long, with clumsy-looking heads.

“This is called a Black-faced Fish. It’s at the bottom of the food chain in the Lancang River, and it can be found on the menus of almost all demons.” Lingling asked, somewhat puzzled, “But what’s the point of releasing the Black-faced Fish? To feed the demons?”

"It's also possible that it was poisoned," Jiang Yu guessed.

Nan Rongni shook her head: "Probably not. Black-skinned fish are not demons, and they have almost no resistance to poison. Apart from their strong reproductive ability, they are useless. If you use them to poison, they will die before they even reach the demons."

In the reservoir.
